Sunday Thoughts: What Creation Reveals
About the Creator

Original Article

We have so many beautiful sites here in the South, and I love living in an area where I have easy access to the beach and the mountains. There’s nothing like getting out in nature, even if it’s just the woods behind my house. I often hear people talk about communing with God in nature, and while we have to avoid the trap and temptation to become more devoted to the created things than to the Creator Himself, it’s easy to see how people can become closer to God when they experience His creation. John Calvin called creation the “theater of the glory of God.”

I found this beautiful and thought provoking.

If the earth fell, where would it fall to? Gravity is real even if we cannot see it.

Nah, everything around us just "evolved," right? (Hopefully a "s/off" is not needed)

I breezed through some Lucianne alrticles before leaving home for Divine Liturgy this morining. I had to go, because I'm the priest, and I was actually surprised that this good aticle appeared on Lucianne when I came back home. Bring more.

I traveled to the South from California and Colorado several times and even watched "Gone With the Wind " without an intermission, but I ain't never seen no mountains in Dixie.

"He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; He puts the deeps in storehouses." ---- Interesting that this verse was recently confirmed by science, after several thousand years. It was discovered that below the earth's crust lie caverns of water many times the volume of all our surface oceans combined. Just one more piece of evidence that Scripture is never wrong, and man's science rarely is.

RE #8: Look up Brasstown Bald Mountain. It rises almost 4,800 feet above sea level and I Georgia's highest point. It is only one of many of the mountains in the south. Blood Mountain is the sixth highest mountain in Georgia and the highest peak on the Georgia side of the Appalachian Trail. So, yes, there actually ARE mountains in the South.

Colorado Dems Go Full Commie, Choose Open
Marxist Who Calls for Cultural Revolution

Just in case you have any lingering doubt about what the Democrats plan to inflict upon America, consider the case of Tim Hernández, whom Colorado party apparatchiks have just selected to fill a vacant state House seat in the Denver area. The charming Hernández is an open and proud Marxist, frequently rails against “Whiteness,” and has called for a “FORCEFUL Cultural Revolution.” He is also, of course, a schoolteacher, busy raising up new cadres of Bolsheviks to bring about the revolution he desires. Every Marxist revolution in history has been accompanied by appalling bloodlust; if Hernández ever gets what he wants, Coloradans can’t say they didn’t see it coming.

As President Joe Biden's open border continues to wreak havoc on the United States, one Democratic city is suffering the consequences. Over the weekend, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) sent its tenth bus full of illegal migrants to Los Angeles just days after its mayor criticized the border state for sending migrants. Democrat Mayor Karen Bass got a rude awakening when a bus of 39 illegal migrants showed up on her doorstep. The bus, which included 12 families and 21 children, was sent five days after Abbott sent the ninth shipment to the liberal city during Tropical Storm Hillary. “LA has not extended an invitation asking for people to come.

Here we go again— the Biden Administration has plans to roll out a new COVID-19 vaccine this fall, requiring Americans to get another jab. Despite declaring earlier this year that COVID is no longer a threat, President Joe Biden said his administration will "likely" recommend that all Americans receive the updated booster, including children. Over the weekend, the president told reporters that he plans to ask Congress for additional funds to develop a new vaccine, adding that he may force everyone to take it whether they previously received the initial vaccine. "Yes, I can," Biden said.

Bass said, “Well, you know what, things like this happen when there [are] profits to be made, and law enforcement put the task force together that I’m supportive of, and it has a number of different agencies, the city attorney, the district attorney, etc., all at the table.

Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has raised $7.1 million since he surrender himself into custody at the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday. Trump surrendered himself into custody after being indicted alongside 18 others in a 98-page, 41-count indictment by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Notably, Fulton County made Trump take a mugshot, marking his first mugshot of the four criminal cases he currently faces. Trump returned to Twitter for the first time in two years on Thursday, posting a photo of his mugshot and a link directing his supporters to donate to his campaign.

Edward Snowden, who famously leaked classified information from the National Security Agency in 2013, recently claimed that the FBI probably already has a file on singing sensation Oliver Anthony. Millions of Americans who have become skeptical about the FBI in recent years will probably find this easy to believe. Anthony’s song ‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ has resonated with America because it is so critical of government. That alone could spark the interest of the intel community. The Washington Examiner reports: The FBI likely has a case file on Oliver Anthony already, whistleblower says Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond” is the most talked about song in America.

You have to hand it to the Biden team. They truly seem to be clueless. Or perhaps they think we are, with the things they try to sell us. They think the problem isn't Biden, it's just messaging. If Americans just understood Biden and his policies a little better, then we'd truly get what a great guy he is and how wonderful his "plans" are. Of course, the problem is that we do understand his policies--because they are adversely impacting our wallets every single day in so many ways. They're costing us hundreds of dollars more every month--by one count, $709 more a month--

It appears that black support for former President Trump is skyrocketing in the wake of his surrender in Fulton County, followed by his booking and a now-infamous mugshot. Now viral video of Trump’s motorcade reportedly rolling through urban Atlanta showed black residents lining the streets to cheer him on and offering their support yelling, “Free Trump!” [Video] As Trump turned himself in on Thursday, “Blacks for Trump” also lined the street outside of the Fulton County jailhouse. The organization’s founder, Maurice Symonette, spoke to Rolling Out about the group showing up to the jail to support the former president. “Why are you all out here in Atlanta to support Trump?"

Oops! Democrats may have just handed the benefits of their generations of indoctrination and programming to their arch-nemesis, Donald Trump. It looks like Big Left’s multi-generational grooming efforts to make certain groups of Americans see themselves as victims may be about to bite them so hard on the backside, they won’t be able to walk for decades. Imagine you tell a group of people that they have been unfairly targeted, persecuted, kicked down, and arrested and jailed for years on end. Now imagine you accidentally create a super-compelling hero for them — only he’s not the Progressive savior you wanted them to worship, he’s the mega-victim with whom they identify.

Hair-raising bodycam footage of a fearless Fargo police officer stopping a would-be mass murderer in the middle of a busy street was released by North Dakota’s Attorney General Drew Wrigley on Thursday, leading many to wonder why they had never heard about the July 14th event that left one officer dead and three people wounded, including two more officers and a fleeing bystander. Police were responding to a routine car accident when Syrian gunman Mohamad Barakat, 37, opened fire on them in a deadly ambush. Barakat was allegedly on his way to a Fargo street fair, evidence suggests, with enough explosives in his car to create a national tragedy,

Rome—Pope Francis has blasted the “backwardness” of some conservatives in the U.S. Catholic Church, saying they have replaced faith with ideology and that a correct understanding of Catholic doctrine allows for change over time. Francis’ comments were an acknowledgment of the divisions in the U.S. Catholic Church, which has been split between progressives and conservatives who long found support in the doctrinaire papacies of St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI, particularly on issues of abortion and same-sex marriage. Many conservatives have blasted Francis’ emphasis instead on social justice issues such as the environment and the poor, while also branding as heretical his opening to letting divorced and civilly remarried

Pope Francis said there is a “very strong, organized, reactionary attitude” in the U.S. Catholic church, that is “backwards” and has led the church to replace faith with “ideology,” according to a new transcript of the comments released Monday. The remarks came during a private meeting with Portuguese members of his Jesuit religious order during a visit to Lisbon on August 5, per a transcript of the meeting published by the Jesuit journal La Civilta Cattolica. A Portuguese Jesuit told Francis that he struggled during a recent sabbatical year in the U.S. after coming across many Catholics, including bishops, who were critical of Francis’s papacy and today’s Jesuits, at which point

Parents of high schoolers at Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School in Hamilton, Ontario, have been warned by the school’s principal there may be “protests” and “disruptions” over Kayla Lemieux’s hiring, in a memo obtained by the Toronto Sun. “We are writing to you today because we anticipate the school your child is attending this year, Nora Frances Henderson, may receive some level of public attention, and we want to communicate what this means for you

The Republican primary debate charade, hosted by a hapless Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, revealed two things: Vivek Ramaswamy is a rising star, and Donald Trump dominated as the elephant not in the room. The Democrats and the media run a constant clown show, but the Republicans play along as useless puppets, willfully participating in a system designed to destroy them. The Republican party is allowing itself to be rigged by playing by the rules of an old system that no longer exists. The Democrats, bureaucracy, and media are vicious apparatchiks. They are a dirty and obvious enemy who clearly need to be fought.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has demanded that taxpayers in the United States and European Union send the country even more aid if the West wishes for elections to be held next year. In an interview published by the president’s office on Sunday evening, Zelensky said that he would be willing to hold elections despite the ongoing martial law amid the war with Russia, so long as the U.S. and EU bankroll the voting process. The Ukrainian leader said that elections during peacetime typically cost around 5 billion hryvnia ($135 million) but did not speculate as to how much more they would cost during a war, though presumably it would be much higher.

Theodore Deschler was shot and killed when FBI agents raided his home near Henderson, Tennessee. Now Deschler’s family are looking for answers. There is still no news from the government on why they had to break out the windows, toss smoke bombs into the home, and then shoot Deschler who was unarmed at the time.
