Q. 142  What does the first request mean?

A.  “Hallowed be your name” means, Help us to really know you,to bless, worship, and praise you for all your works and for all that shines forth from them: your almighty power, wisdom, kindness, justice, mercy, and truth. And it means, Help us to direct all our living–what we think, say, and do–so that your name will never be blasphemed because of us but always honored and praised.

Stuff and Things

So you may have noticed that there has been a decrease in posting lately.  There’s a good reason for this and it is that I have been gathering together resources to get a new job.  Seems that the place where I am working is going to be moved to Mexico and I won’t be going with it.  So my time has been spent gathering together information that I haven’t had to do for twenty four years.  

So my blogging will be minimal until I can get all my ducks and dates in a row.  

On another note please continue to pray for my sister the cancer is stage four and in her breasts.  

Catechism

​Q. 140  Why did Christ command us to call God “our Father”

A.  At the very beginning of our prayer Christ wants to kindle in us what is basic to our prayer–the childlike awe and trust that God through Christ has become our Father.  Our fathers do not refuse us the things of this life; God our Father will even less refuse to give us what we ask in faith.

Matt. 7:9-11; Luke 11:11-13

Q. 141  Why the words “in heaven”?

A.  These words teach us not to think of God’s heavenly majesty as something earthly,  and to expect everything for body and soul from his almighty power.

Jer. 23:23-24; Acts 17:24-25
Matt. 6:25-34; Rom. 8:31-32

Catechism

Q.What did God command us to pray for?
A.  Everything we need, spiritually and physically, as embraced in the prayer Christ our Lord himself taught us.

James 1:17; Matt. 6:33

Q. 138  What is this prayer?
A.  Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Matt. 6:9-13; Luke 11:2-4

Q. 139. Are Christians tied to this very Form of Prayer?

A. We are not. Our Lord here delivers to his Church a brief Summary of those things which we are to ask of God, but yet Christ also expects us to ask for particular benefits. This form a set of general topics, under which all benefits may be grouped. All particulars of Prayer must agree & correspond with this general form, although we are not tied to this from. This is apparent from Jam. 1.5. where the Apostle exhorts the Saints, if any of them  lack wisdom, they should ask of God, who gives liberally to all, but these words are not found in the form of prayer particularly expressed. In addition, we have examples of prayer both in the Old and New Testament, which do not exactly follow this form although all they asked was included in this prayer.

Frenetic Friday

Star date 11609.09 we are in orbit around an M class planet that is third from its sun.  While doing a standard sensor scan we have discovered that it is Frenetic Friday!

Well if you’ve been on the Internet at all you’ve probably heard about Evan Hempel a “transgendered man”  who decided that she would do what any woman would do and that is get pregnant and have a baby.  And then Time Magazine decided to do an article about her breast feeding.  But of course they said “he was breastfeeding” frankly this came to mind.

But see that is exactly what is wrong it isn’t a man breastfeeding it is a woman breastfeeding.  And even if they are taking artificial hormones in order to give them beards, which by the way they have to stop if they are going to get pregnant, they are still female and a female breastfeeding a baby isn’t something new at all.

So at a certain point in the history of the United States Black Americans rose up to protest the segregation that was going on in the country.  You would see signs saying that how some places, bathrooms, diners, water fountains were for “whites” only and there were other signs that said “colored” only.  But men and women rose up and said that segregation was evil and that there can’t be a “white” or “colored” only place.   Now more that fifty years after the fight to end segregation comes this from the California State University Los Angles that to combat micro-agression from whites the black students will have segregated housing.  <source>  Next Jim Crow laws will be repealed.

And now a moment of feminist singing with the Hills Are Alive with the sound of Feminism.

And now a moment of truth.

And now good evening.
