Corruption aside...try getting the necessary freight supplies past corrupt ports of call. Without that, yes no problem!
And to think that Turkey is a NATO nation. These ME nations and their leaders always inflect so much inflated bravado in their mannerisms and general countenance. I always wondered if this is why they plaster their own pictures everywhere when they come to power. https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-middle-east-43051333 There will be more of this to come. There is simply no way that so many different military assets can occupy the same small nation and not come into conflict repeatedly unless they are working as partners. I was told that the number of Russian deaths was much greater than the news is stating.
I'm betting that these very same PC-BS Kumbaya Policies (below) have been implemented in any number of USA school districts and it's just a culmination of the removal of God, and common values/courtesies that has transpired these past 50 years! ........ and, of course, the "legal" drug culture that is "medicating" children with all sorts of anti-depressive & psychotic drugs. Much of it pushed by lefty Feminists trying to take "The Boy" out of boys .....

This is the video of a lecture I attended last Monday evening at World Affairs Council in Grand Rapids Mi. To say that they have timely presenters is an understatement! The initial lecture is about 30 minutes, with Q&A about an hour. Great Decisions: Dr. Sinan Ciddi, Institute of Turkish Studies, Georgetown University Feb. 12, 2018- "Trouble Brewing: Can the U.S. and Turkey Cooperate?"

Did anybody notice anything odd about the sun today? I was on my way home from Adoration and thought it was pulsating, flickering and turning black. I thought I was being fanciful until I searched YouTube to see if there was anything similar there to what I saw. Search pulsating sun. It is FULL of posts from people from all over the world posting pictures of odd behaviour in the sun and most of the posts are quite recent.
Don, I agree. I wish that there was an "agree" button in addition to a "like" button. There is also a biblical prophecy related to Damascus. I read about the Russian deaths this morning...

Where are you? In GR MI, we're socked in with clouds and rain. I'd love to see that. Sounds like God wants our attention, but now!
In Ireland. I suppose the Irish people need to hear God with all that is going on. Maybe I was tired, I have been unwell lately, perhaps there was a natural reason, but I was really struck by the number of videos on youtube.
Over here across the big pond, we sure need some signs as well, more like knocks upside the head. Truth be told, people like my sister need signs, to reassured God is still beside us and loves us. Over time, she has become awfully cynical. Granted some of that is sport. She has always loved getting a rise out of me, often the more crass she can be the better. BUT, like I've said before, praise God she has now started joining our Dad taking Mom to church on alternate Saturday evenings! Some of the crass tone has made way for family love.
The world is too noisy. Too many distractions. We need silence in our hearts and our heads to hear the voice of God speaking to us. He's always there, waiting for us to start the conversation.
Mary is the spouse of the Holy Spirit. If the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is not “male” then Mary is in a same sex relationship with the Holy Spirit. That observation alone should put a complete stop, once and for all, to such nonsense conjecture. It also might explain modern obsessions with changing the gender of the Holy Spirit...
There was a disc jockey on WCAO am radio in Baltimore in the ‘60s Every night he signed off with this: If you are not as close to God anymore, make no mistake about which one of you has moved. I have never forgotten that Back in those days you could talk about God His name was Johnny Dark
What I see in that man is a tool of the swamp Trump was elected to drain. Erdogan was the darling of the West not so very long ago. http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/obama-names-turkish-pm-erdogan-among-trusted-friends-11897 The Fareed Zakaria quoted in Hurriyet is a regular on CNN, and he's no stranger to plagiarism. Events in Turkey are a case of what comes around goes around but on steroids. http://www.refworld.org/docid/589464384.html If Jesuit Georgetown were as committed to promoting Catholicism as they are to Islam, they might lose their reputation for being a conveyor belt of "recovering" Catholics (aka atheists or "I'm spiritual but not religious" former Catholics). Money, money money: http://abcnews.go.com/International/story?id=1402008 Syria destroyed, millions of people displaced, IS armed and provided with the jihadi highway, and an autocrat put in power in Turkey. For what? An oil pipeline?
God is our Father, but God is NOT male. God is neither male nor female. God has no gender/sex. God is god and is not human. Yes jesus became man/human for us, but we cannot asign a gender to God as there is no gender
Beware the tech giants' control over resources....including what intellectual/mind information gets out to the public. There are more and more stories as well about control of the means of purchasing food and supplies, limiting more and more the smaller "neighborhood" businesses due to "e-commerce". The newer generations have no experience of former smaller business relationships/personal interaction with the public. Now things are impersonal. Who of these will even notice a difference when robots become substitutes for human interaction? Minds are being molded without any real notice or care. Essential human dignity is erased from consciousness as being the center of all creation. Things moving quickly now. YouTube Restricts PragerU’s Planned Parenthood Video, Then Reverses Course ......The issue of the video’s restricted status comes amid accusations that Google is censoring conservative speech. As Breitbart News reported, PragerU filed a lawsuit in California in October against the tech giant over the claim Google is violating the First Amendment by placing its YouTube videos in Restricted Mode while videos about similar topics – but posted by liberal sites – are not restricted. “YouTube has repeatedly censored PragerU on their platform, labeling political videos as ‘restricted’ adult content and even removing a video of ‘a Muslim man describing how he was raised to be anti-Semitic,’ branding the video as ‘hate speech,’” said the report. “After being criticized for their censorship of PragerU videos, YouTube blamed ‘community flagging.’” http://www.breitbart.com/tech/2018/...lanned-parenthood-video-then-reverses-course/
"The world is too noisy. Too many distractions. We need silence in our hearts and our heads to hear the voice of God speaking to us. He's always there, waiting for us to start the conversation." ComeSoon! said: ↑ Mmm, that's part of it. For many it's not that easy. For many, the noise is the grief in their life. While I always hate to generalize, I was thinking of my sister, while trying to sound less personal. Yes, sin takes MANY forms due to the source of all evil. The grief I refer to is from watching our mother lose her mind/the beautiful person she was slowly but most surely due to the plague of Alzhiemers. The cynicism also comes of being abused for many years in every way a young woman can be abused. It comes from survivors guilt surviving a fatal car accident when her soul mate was instantly killed out of his own stubbornness. The noise comes from the sin of not trusting life lessons that God does love her and has never abandoned her, as our parents and I continue to show example of our never ending faith. It was our Mom who insisted, repeatedly asked to go to church after being moved to a Memory Care Home. She knew she was not in a Catholic surrounding. Yes it's Christian based but it definitely is not Catholic. I do pray these years of caring for Mom and now visiting a couple times a week and now alternating in taking her to Mass will serve as reparation for her sins and grief directed toward our Triuune God. I pray the Warning doesn't shock my sisters to death but serves at last as the turning point where they finally make the correct decision! I trust the latter will occur through my prayers and knowing their hearts are good, not because I can read hearts but from their actions to those around them and outside charities. Lord hear our prayers for all our wayward beloved family and friends! Please come soon!
