“Great wealth is in the house of the righteous, But trouble is in the income of the wicked.”
Proverbs 15:6 NASB1995
Reminder public school should be called government school and they are prisons. Keep your kids out of them!

I know I’ve been posting a lot recently, but as Fr. Richard John Neuhaus used to say, “it’s a target-rich environment” right now.
The governor of Massachusetts just signed into law a statute that permits abortion up until the moment of birth, as long as mother and doctor give the go-ahead.
Please understand what this means. A fully-formed child, moments before exiting the birth canal, can be eviscerated, chopped into pieces, have its head crushed or skin burned off—all under the full protection of Massachusetts law.
What I found particularly gross was the reaction of the entirely female crowd around the female governor of Massachusetts as she signed this barbaric provision into law. They were clapping and cackling with delight because what can only be called infanticide can now be practiced with impunity in their state.
I’m old enough to remember when Mario Cuomo, the devoutly Catholic governor of New York, admitted that, though he found abortion personally repugnant, he was, after tortured wrestling with his conscience, willing to give it limited protection of law.
How far we have fallen from agonized and conflicted Cuomo to the present governor of Massachusetts and her entourage gleefully applauding the murder of children.

Anyone who says the Sin of Sodom was inhospitality is a false prophet! It is such a blatant demonic lie and only those who have actually not read the scripture would fall for it; unless the God of this world has blinded their eyes!!!

You have to own something. W2 income will be a rounding error compared to asset appreciation in a 10x economy. Switch from earning to owning.

“Reject the worldly lie that says,
That life lies always up ahead,
Let power go before control becomes a crust around your soul,
Escape the hunger to possess,
And soul-diminishing success”

Explain how you have an “inner circle” in ministry, to whom you give better revelation for $17,000 a year or whatever—when Jesus’ policy was, “what I say to one I say to all.” And the NT teaching was to show no partiality to the rich?
I would genuinely love to hear the answer?

“He’s five months old. He doesn’t understand English.”
Right.
The baby understands something deeper.
Why is it that “mama” (or some version of it) shows up in nearly every language on earth? Chinese, Arabic, Spanish. Cultures separated by continents, histories, and entirely different linguistic families — and yet they all landed on the same sound for the same person?
That’s not coincidence. That’s anthropology.
“Ma” is one of the very first sounds a baby can make. It’s the natural position of the mouth during nursing. Long before a child understands words, he forms that sound. And who answers?
Across time, across cultures, across civilizations it is the woman who carried him, the woman whose body he knows.
Humanity didn’t invent “mama.” We recognized it.
So no, he doesn’t understand English.
But he does understand that something (or someone) is missing.
And what makes that video so disturbing isn’t just the cruelty of laughing at a distressed baby. It’s the denial of the human non-negotiable that children come from, and are made for, a mother.
They can mock the baby's babbling. But the can't erase the reality it points to.
That baby isn’t confused. The gay men are.
NEW: The gay man with a surrogate baby is standing by his video of his baby saying 'Mama' following online backlash, tells the Daily Mail that he finds the video "hilarious."
51-year-old Grammy Award winner Shane McAnally says he and his husband find the video "hilarious."
"We found it hilarious. He's five months old, he obviously doesn't understand English."
"I was appalled by what some people have been saying. Some people have taken it out of context."
"Babies usually say dada first, but people wouldn't then say the babies are only wanting their dads? It doesn't really make sense."
Every child deserves a mother.

If you fly across the US, you see it's EMPTY. Vast stretches of land where nobody lives... We don't have a scarcity problem, but a mobility and accessibility one.

Over the past several weeks, Carrie Prejean Boller has complained that she was removed from the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty because of her Catholic beliefs, and she has called out myself and other Catholic members of the commission for not defending her. This is absurd. Mrs. Prejean Boller was not dismissed for her religious convictions but rather for her behavior at a gathering of the Commission last month: browbeating witnesses, aggressively asserting her point of view, hijacking the meeting for her own political purposes. The Catholic position on matters of “Zionism,” to which I fully subscribe, is as follows: all forms of antisemitism are to be unequivocally condemned; the state of Israel has a right to exist; but the modern nation of Israel does not represent the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies and hence does not stand beyond criticism. If Mrs. Prejean Boller were dismissed for holding these beliefs, it is difficult to understand why I am still a member of the Commission. To paint herself as a victim of anti-Catholic prejudice or to claim that her religious liberty has been denied is simply preposterous.
Your Excellency, you shared with me through text message to me that my position reflects Catholic teaching, especially that the modern state of Israel is not the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy.
That is the position I expressed, and yet I was removed from the Religious Liberty Commission.
Respectfully, it is difficult not to conclude that this commission does not truly care about religious liberty when a Catholic can be removed for faithfully articulating the Church’s teaching.
Asking me to deny Catholic teaching in order to satisfy a political ideology is itself a violation of my religious freedom.
As Pope Leo XIII warned, “To recoil before an enemy, or to keep silence when from all sides such clamor is raised against truth, is the part of a coward.”
Whether I serve on this Commission or not, my voice will only grow louder for those being persecuted for their faith. I believe this appointment was ordained by God, and I will not abandon my Catholic faith to keep a position on a commission that has abandoned its mission.
If my religious freedom is not protected, then no one’s is.
Please speak up. Please stand up for Catholics.
Be brave, Bishop Barron. The world needs brave men.

1. “Rebuke our disease”
Luke 4:39 (King James Version)
“And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.”
Jesus rebuked sickness directly.
Also:
Luke 9:1 (King James Version)
“Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.”
⸻
2. “Cast out our problems”
Believers were explicitly commanded to cast things out.
Mark 16:17 (King James Version)
“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.”
Also:
Matthew 17:20 (King James Version)
“For verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”
Mountains represent problems or obstacles.

3. “Speak into our trials”
Jesus specifically taught speaking to situations.
Mark 11:23 (King James Version)
“For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
Faith is expressed by speaking.
⸻
4. “Claim our success”
Scripture repeatedly teaches confession and expectation of victory.
2 Corinthians 4:13 (King James Version)
“We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak.”
Also:
Joshua 1:8 (King James Version)
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night… for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
⸻
5. “Demand God to do something”
Scripture actually invites bold requests.
Isaiah 45:11 (King James Version)
“Thus saith the Lord… concerning the work of my hands command ye me.”
Also:
Hebrews 4:16 (King James Version)
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.”
