Luke 12
6
Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins?* Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God.
7
Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.
8
I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before others the Son of Man will acknowledge before the angels of God.
9
But whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God.
Luke 10
23
Turning to the disciples in private he said, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.
24
For I say to you, many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.”
Ecclesiastes 1:1-11
1
The words of David’s son, Qoheleth, king in Jerusalem:
2
Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth,
vanity of vanities! All things are vanity!
Vanity of Human Toil
3
What profit have we from all the toil
which we toil at under the sun?*
4
One generation departs and another generation comes,
but the world forever stays.
5
The sun rises and the sun sets;
then it presses on to the place where it rises.
6
Shifting south, then north,
back and forth shifts the wind, constantly shifting its course.
7
All rivers flow to the sea,
yet never does the sea become full.
To the place where they flow,
the rivers continue to flow.
8
All things are wearisome,*
too wearisome for words.
The eye is not satisfied by seeing
nor has the ear enough of hearing.
9
What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun!
10
Even the thing of which we say, “See, this is new!” has already existed in the ages that preceded us.
11
There is no remembrance of past generations; nor will future generations be remembered by those who come after them
Matthew 1:18-23
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about.
When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph,
but before they lived together,
she was found with child through the Holy Spirit.
Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man,
yet unwilling to expose her to shame,
decided to divorce her quietly.
Such was his intention when, behold,
the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said,
"Joseph, son of David,
do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.
For it is through the Holy Spirit
that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins."
All this took place to fulfill
what the Lord had said through the prophet:
Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel,
which means "God is with us."
The Canticle of Mary.
And Mary said:
“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me
and holy is his Name.”
Luke 1:46-49
“Sheltered under the name of Jesus Christ, I do not fear these pains, for they do not last long.”

🚨STARSHIP40 Update🚨
▶️Normand Ranger continued its tow towards Dampier at a little over 1 knot
▶️At dawn she halted and then started moving toward the north.
▶️It is not clear what is the issue, but the tow is not closing Dampier.
▶️The 12k ton, Liberian-flagged heavy lift Dongbang Giant #2 sailed from the east coast of India on July 24 and is in the Malacca Strait about halfway to Dampier.
▶️Dongbang Giant #2 may be a candidate to heavy lift Starship 40 back to the US

You repeatedly claimed that the West needs to be kind and empathetic, and allow entry to millions of people who hate Christianity and Judaism. Now you are alarmed? The chutzpah is astounding.
Hey @SenTedBuddNC - this makes sense. Let's go!
We should nuke the filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act.
If we don’t have the votes to nuke the filibuster, we should put the SAVE America Act on the floor and debate it until it passes, requiring filibustering senators to speak and making clear that if they stop speaking, we can “call the question” and pass it with a simple majority.
If for some reason we can’t do that—and to be clear, there’s no legitimate reason why we can’t—then we should use budget reconciliation to pass it.
But not passing the SAVE America Act is not an option.
Neither is taking a lengthy recess without doing any of the above.
hey @SenTedBuddNC - why are you not on this list?
UPDATE: Now over a DOZEN Republican Senators are standing together DEMANDING no August recess until the SAVE America Act is passed.

Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus said:
"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am meek and humble of heart;
and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."
Why do blue states think they are the last word in engineering systems. Tesla has proven the reliability of FSD with over 11 billion of miles of operation. The blue hair seeps into their brains. Atlas Shrugged in real life.
Then [Jesus] said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing.' Thomas answered him, 'My Lord and my God!' Jesus said to him, 'Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.'
John 20:27-29
