Merry Christmas! The King is Born! Long Live the KING of Kings!

 Merry Christmas, and may God bless each of you, your families, and those you love in the coming year. This enlivening video is a longer version than the one often played in churches. It is especially a blessing for this day and this time.

In Honor of Ol' Remus




The blogger who called himself "Ol' Remus" at The Woodpile Report has passed away.  My deep condolences to his family, friends, and readers.

I did not know the man, and never interacted with him. But I miss his blog. One of the things that set him apart was his penchant for opening each post with a work of art.  When I came across this painting today, serendipitously, it reminded me of him.  The grandfather is busy knitting warm clothing, maybe socks, while holding the infant safe and warm in his arms: preparing for the future with hope and industry.   The work is titled "Grandfather & grandson", painted by Nikolaos Gyzis, 1842 – 1901

The full painting:





A quote from his sidebar is Remus's Antidote to Disinformation:

"Remus's antidote: tell the truth as plainly as you can. Humor helps."

As to prepping, he encouraged self-reliance, stocking up, and long before COVID-19 and the latest Insurection-disguised-as-protest, advised:

"Stay away from crowds."
