Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is urging the Roman Catholic Church to take a greater stand against the religious persecution being seen in China. Pompeo spoke out Wednesday, saying today the church has the responsibility to fight for basic human rights, like religious freedom. He pointed specifically to the cases of abuse against Catholics in China. "Catholic churches and shrines have been desecrated and destroyed. Catholic bishops like Augustine Cui Tai have been imprisoned," Pompeo said. "Catholic lay leaders in the human rights movement, not least in Hong Kong, have been arrested. Authorities order residents to replace pictures of Jesus with those of Chairman Mao and those of General Secretary Xi Jinping," he continued. Pompeo's comments came during a religious freedom convention in Italy. While overseas the secretary of state will hold a meeting with the Vatican foreign minister. But due to the nearness of the US presidential election, Pompeo will not have an audience with the Pope. www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/2020/september/pompeo-calls-on-vatican-to-stand-up-to-chinas-persecution-replace-pictures-of-jesus-with-chairman-maoTo the best of my knowledge this is not happening to Catholic churches only but all christian churches.

Good morning all, just stop in to say high and hope everyone is doing fine. Liked your post Lulu of the prayer and hope all are praying for our country at this time. BTW, It was over cast here in eastern PA yesterday and didn't think to much of it until I read the weather this morning. Seem as if it was high altitude smoke from the west coast fires and will continue to be there again today. Hope everyone has a great day and will stop in somewhere down the way. Always walk with Our Father in Heaven and His Son, our Savior. May Our Father bless you all.

Seven, Is this really happening With home prices in the Bay Area nearing seven figures, some who can't afford to live on land are settling down on the water, dropping anchor near cities like Sausalito, and living on Richardson Bay, rent-free. The number of these so-called "anchor-outs" has doubled in recent years, and today more than 100 people comprise a community some liken to a floating homeless shelter. www.foxnews.com/us/californians-land-afford-water

Cindy wrote in part: "Crazy weather again. Yesterday it was 80 and today the high will be in the 60's. It was down right cold when we got up this morning though! It looks like winter is going to be a roller coaster ride again too according to farmers almanac anyway."
Hi Cindy, Yes, the weather sure is different then the last few years. Up and down like a roller coaster. Yesterday 78 and this morning 54 degrees. Have a nice weekend all.

When I read this article this verse came to mind.
Isaiah 3:12 O My people! Their oppressors are children, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray And confuse the direction of your paths.

A Timeline of Events which led to the Moral decline in America’s schools.
This always reminds me of what another leader had said: "Gives us your children". Remember who that was?

President Trump addressed this year's annual Values Voters Summit in Washington, DC. He is the first sitting U.S. president to do so. (See related story) The Values Voters Summit is hosted by the Family Research Council, an organization whose mission is addressing public policy and culture from a Christian point of view. My organization CURE works closely with FRC and I have been a regular speaker at this Summit for years. Its base is largely evangelical Christians, and this is why President Trump deemed it appropriate to appear. Eighty-one percent of white evangelicals voted for Trump in 2016, the highest percentage of evangelical support for any Republican in the last four presidential elections. According to the Pew Research Center, 36 percent of the electorate self-identifies as evangelical Christian, so it's indicative of Trump's strong political instincts that he has gone out to actively engage this important and significant base of support. www.onenewsnow.com/perspectives/star-parker/2017/10/18/trumps-timely-evangelical-appeal

2 Peter 3:3-7New International Version (NIV)
3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
You don't hear many people speak on verse seven.

fearnot, I like your comment, "I guess first people have to be conditioned to them" because there is of truth there. People are being "conditioned" and they don't even realized it.

Wisconsin tech company employees can get microchips implanted into their hands A tech company in Wisconsin is about to become the first U.S. company to offer microchip implants to its employees. ABC News reports that with just a swipe of the hand, workers at Three Square Market in River Falls will be able to enter the office, access computers and buy snacks. CEO Todd Westby told ABC News that 50 of their 80 employees at the company's headquarters have volunteered to get implants. The microchip uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology and was approved by the Food and Drug Administration 2004. The chip is about the size of a grain of rice and can be implanted within seconds between the thumb and forefinger. "Eventually, this technology will become standardized, allowing you to use this as your passport, public transit, all purchasing opportunities, etc," said Westby in a statement. The company is spending a good sum of money on their latest venture, with each microchip costing $300. According to ABC News, the microchips will be implanted on Aug. 1 by licensed piercers. But, if workers change their minds later on down the road, the microchip can always be removed--it's as easy as taking out a splinter. One big concern with the microchip is privacy, but Westby assured that the data stored on the chip is encrypted and secure. The company, and potentially outsiders, will not be able to GPS track employees. www.syracuse.com/us-news/index.ssf/2017/07/wisconsin_tech_company_employees_can_volunteer_to_get_microchips_implanted_into.html

The time frame of Creation Week matters to God
God Himself wrote the Ten Commandments with His finger. The 4th one is:
‘Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God.’
The reason he gave is:
‘For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day.’
Clearly the time frame is important, otherwise this Commandment is meaningless. And if the creation days were really long periods of time, then logically the days of the working week would have to be as well. But ‘Work for 6 billion years and rest for one billion years’ doesn’t quite have the same ring to it …
"Clearly the time frame is important, otherwise this Commandment is meaningless."
Thought this statement was interesting.

I'll Try. The article was on our local weather station and took place in the Ukraine. The female dog was injured and in the middle of the railroad tracks and the male dog stayed with her for two days. The male dog would not let anyone get near her and he would nudge her head down as trains would go over them. After two days they were rescued and returned to their family. Don't know if the whole story is true because I have found different versions. My comment concerning men - I just don't see men protecting their families and I thought it was a great example of love. The Almighty will show you different things in many ways but the point He was showing will remain the same. Unconditional love.
