Renea, I am so sorry for your loss, a grief I cannot even imagine. Asking the Lord to comfort as only He can and to fill all the empty places with His peace. Hugs to you.
Thank you. I prayed for all that I was worth as we waited for good or bad news. And those prayers were answered with a giant no. I know God is good but it does not take away the pain or unanswered questions. I will never get to sing to this new one, or hold him and snuggle him, kiss his eewwahhhs. I know I will get to see him again. We will bury him on family property tomorrow after paper work is dealt with. My large flower garden has now been renamed Finn's Garden.
What a beautiful tribute. So sorry for your loss. Lord, hold Renea and her family extra close today. May HE continue to give you strength and comfort as you go through this impossibly hard time.
I am so sorry for your loss. We did this after my sister was killed in a car accident. I would sit on the bench and listen to the creek and birds. It brought me great solace. I hope it does the same for you.
The name also reminds me of my mother’s favorite hymn “In the Garden.”
I come to the garden alone
while the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear
Falling on my ear
The son of God discloses…
Light, love, and strength to you and your family. 💞💔
You are in very good company with GIANT hole in your heart and lots of unanswered questions.
Not to take away from your pain - so many here have lost children or grandchildren - but in sympathy thinking on the family I posted about who in June lost their 6 year old in.a freak accident when her siblings were playing. She died almost instantly.
This life really is filled with SO much pain. Thankful for the Psalms when David cried out! 💕🫂
As a parent who has lost unborn babies and our adult only daughter, I have learned that God's plan is not always our plan but He has comforted us and used these losses to grow us and to comfort others. Don't lose faith and seek His will through your pain. Praying He will give you a special revelation of His love and comfort. 🙏🏻📖🕊️
Jesus holds him now. It's what we all want for ourselves and others just in our own 'time'. You will hold him for certain. God has a great interest in bringing all He has chosen to come to pass and His Word says that He believes with us in our grief. He is intimately experienced your pain. "He has born our griefs"... Not only carries them with us but He suffers under it also with us. He sees what we cannot. It is our test to trust His eye. He will also hold you fast in these times of your complete anguish. 🙏🏼❤️🌹
I am truly so sorry for your loss of your precious grandson…I can’t imagine…may the peace of God cover you and help you as you journey through this time of intense grief and lost.
Congratulations!! Grandchildren are everything they are cracked up to be. Oddly my husband gets the most emotional over his grandchildren. He loves his two kids, but the grands do something even more to his heart.
My heart is moved by your unspeakable loss--HOWEVER...that grandson is waiting for his family to join him in the "sweet bye and bye". And...I would like to share a wonderful story about a friend of mine who lives in FL--her only child--a daughter--finally married a 'good guy' and they had 1 son....tried for another child--lost THREE - 1 of them was still born (a little girl). Many prayers were prayed by everyone who knew this family and MIRACLE OF MIRACLES...this daughter had a SECOND SON who is very sprightly and healthy. THEN...TOTALLY 'UNPLANNED' our Wondrous God gave that family a THIRD HEALTHY CHILD--A LITTLE GIRL....which my friend's daughter wanted a daughter SO MUCH. Now...my friend who bemoaned to me in 2013, "I don't think I'll ever have a grandchild" has THREE HEALTHY GRANDCHILDREN.
PRAYER IS DIRECT CONTACT WITH A MAGNIFICNETLY POWERFUL GIVER OF LIFE AND LOVE!!!

Most organizations, if not all, religious or not, have symbolic gestures and practices to represent something honorable their group is about or to remind the members of something. Mocking or ridiculing any of them is absolutely heartless and disrespectful beyond words. I don’t care if it’s the VFW, the Boy Scouts, a local knitting club, a union, a sports team, a fishing club, whatever. They ALL have symbolism or superstitions, some big some small, that mean something to them as a group. If you wanted to be nasty you could find a way to spin any of them into something they aren’t and ridicule it. But decent people just don’t do that.
Communion is not ritual cannibalism. The flesh and blood does not represent actually eating human flesh and drinking human blood.
The ritual is representative of something else entirely, not literal. “In remembrance of me”.
The bread is so that we remember his body, which was solid, and that he was real and lived as a man on this earth among us, and his body was beaten and broken while he was still an innocent man not having broken any laws and free of all sin. He was hated and beaten for that. And he endured that for us, so that we wouldn’t have to take such a punishment. We eat bread in remembrance of his suffering.
The wine is the liquid that reminds us of his blood that was spilt for all of us when he died on the cross to wash our sins away, to cleanse us. In biblical days the blood of the choicest most prized lamb of a flock was the purest sacrifice you could ever make. Well in God’s flock, Jesus was the purest of us all - without any sin, perfect. So he was the perfect sacrifice for our shitty sins. Yeah, he even did that for you. He did that for all of us, to save us, because with his perfect sacrifice he had the power to die once for all of us so that anyone that accepted his sacrifice would never have to pay the price for their sins. (“The wages of sin is death”) God made that law, and as the judge who rightfully had to find us all guilty, according to the law he made, he was then able to come down from the bench and take off his robe and accept the punishment on our behalf. Like ANY loving father would do for his own child if he could. We drink the wine to remember he spilt his perfect blood for us even while we didn’t deserve it, while we were still sinners.
The belief is that the bread and wine become the actual flesh and blood
after the priest says some magic words over them.
'The Roman Catholic Church holds to the view of the Lord’s Supper called transubstantiation. It is the view that the bread and the wine become the actual body and blood of Christ, yet still retain the appearance of bread and wine.'
These are the Words of Jesus Himself, not a prophet nor an interpretation. Take them literally.
Here are some other connections to this fact:
“But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”
In context, "heaven and earth" is a turn of phrase to describe "the whole universe"; "heaven" is the skies above and "earth" is the earth beneath. "Heaven and earth" (being the current physical universe) will pass away, and be replaced by "a new heavens and a new earth". The author isn't referring here to "heaven" in the sense of God's dwelling place (because, I would argue, that was only ever a symbolic description to begin with - "God is in the heavens, he does whatever he pleases" describes God as metaphorically high above humans, not as literally living somewhere out in space).
It conveys that whatever the circumstances, whatever and to whomever, whether death or life, happy or sad, terrible or magnificent, the Sovereign King of Heaven and earth, sitting on His Throne is still in control of it all...
Honest question: Has even ONE of the Olympic athletes condemned this stupid stunt?...Recognizing their years and years of hard work and dedication by offering up a debauched freakshow?... One?....I don't pay much attention to these distractions. I do recall the deafening silence of a great many "experts" and "professionals" concerning a different matter. That didn't work out too well. (Aaron Rodgers, Kyrie Irving and Novak Djokovic collectively shake their heads).
Citizen Free Press had this link with the headline "There is absolutely zero chance that Djokovic didn't remember this clip when he beat the shit out of Rafa Nadal today in Paris." : https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1817953738142670963
“No-Vax” MORE!) but he mentions consequences here. Rafa is no doubt seeing and feeling consequences of his clot shots every match. He has retired, has he not?
“The Destroy the Olympics Committee” is off to good start. 1) Perfectly timed Atmospheric River 2) Satanic Opening Ceremony 3) Train System Down 4) Power Outage 5) Dysfunctional Olympic Village. What’s next?
Don’t forget the air conditioning. Hot and humid. Ah, the pleasures of the French Accords. If one athlete wakes up after this debacle, then it was a success.
In Daily Mail, but it was yesterday..one athlete had his own mattress delivered, (cardboard beds), there is no air conditioning, they have fake meat options like 'no dog' (fake hot dog), 60% is plant based, athletes are so desperate for protein that all the eggs are gone because the catering didn't expect so many to be consumed, portions are small, etc.

omg that is horrifying. I actually feel very sorry for them. That must be hard to focus and compete if they can't get proper nutrition while they are there.
I did see something on the local or national news yesterday about a bunch of them getting their own hotel room. They were running through the halls screaming with joy.
Surprised there are any hotel rooms left in the city, perhaps all the sane people went home after the opening spectacles and power outages.
I heard on the radio that the Olympic athletes get TWO condoms per day per person. (And yes, the cardboard beds are firm enough to endure the use of condoms) 🙄🙏🌍
I’m red pilling my ignorant sister over these games. ( she still goes to Disneyland multiple times a year) She just said, they had better not say how wonderful these games went when they’re over. I said Oh they will they only have one playbook!
Thank you - I have had the same pain and frustration over this. I have ALWAYS loved the Olympics. I just love most sports in general. And I got to see the Olympics live in Atlanta when I was 16. It was so special. So to watch the way this horrid committee has destroyed the games and used them for evil (2012 comes to mind), it's nothing short of devastating. I hate that these monsters are ruining this for us.
I read that Brendan Brazier would go vegan for the 2024 Tour D'France. He didn't win a thing & I can't even find that he finished it. so much for being able to compete without meat......
Eric, most "experts and professionals" are silent especially when things they endorsed or support go south and fail miserably. See - the jab and scamdemic. 🤔😉
Why do the ''Olympic Games'' have the monopoly on athletic awards?
Why don't the athletes come up with something better for themselves?
Are the sponsors putting on the athletic equivalent of the Oscars, or the woke portions of the NFL?
The sponsors for the Olympics appear to be no better than the drug companies sponsoring all livestream services like Hulu (owned by Disney, I think I saw the other day) et al, and corporate media.
It's demeaning to the athletes to have to depend on the Olympics for recognition and awards.
The Olympics lost whatever beauty they had when professional athletes were included. The idea of the Olympics was amateur athletes compete. The most thrilling Olympics I’ve watched were the Miracle on Ice, the forgotten sports coming to win unexpectedly, and the work it took to get there. When they started making it about millionaire basketball stars being selected to add another trophy to their cases at home, I was completely turned off. I know that this turn supposedly allowed more eyeballs to all the Olympic events and more money in sponsorship dollars, but they are hardly watchable any longer. They are now a large middle finger to America and the American people. Brittany Griner playing for the U.S. women’s team? She spit on the American people and the flag. We allowed her to compete?
Maybe this is God giving us a slap upside the head, telling us, “when is it enough? Too much?” When do we stand up and say no more….NO MORE!
If you know the history of the Olympic Games, they had a few caveats: no city-state was allowed to compete if they were in war; the winners were awarded a laurel branch, and their home town would tear down a part of their wall (we have an Olympian, we don't need walls to defend us). My how things have changed
There have been controversies in all the modern day Olympics, but we believed that we rose above those conflicts and were better for it. Perhaps we just kept pushing what they really were farther down the road to this ending, a grandiose statement to crap and evil.
But then I watched the men’s gymnasts compete in the team finals and the joy of winning a bronze medal by these guys was equivalent to any gold celebration. That’s what it is about, perhaps.
🎯 Because we have generations of cowards who would rather protect their endorsements, fame, fortune and ability to play sports for a living rather than get real jobs that impact real life. And we expect THEM to stand up and risk it all? They are overpaid (on purpose) to keep the public distracted. We love entertainment and sports and so those are the places they pay astronomical monies to, and elevate people to be celebrities that people fawn all over and wanna be like. I never understood why someone makes MILLIONS to hit a ball, catch a ball, throw a ball etc. And why garbage men barely make enough to feed their families, teachers make squat, firemen and police make squat to risk their lives, assembly line workers make peanuts in comparison.
I haven’t seen ONE of them stand up. The only thing I’ve seen is C Spire company stand up, and I hope they get so busy from new business it makes their heads spin. The reward should go to the courageous!! Those athletes should take notice of the examples you gave. They aren’t suffering for standing up for what’s right….they are being applauded. But it isn’t an easy path. Just asked the men who died to give us our very freedom. They sacrificed it all. Ask the men in the Bible who were murdered for standing up. I bet they don’t regret ever doing what they did even though they were murdered for it.
Um, murdered doesn't really do it justice. Thomas, for one example (yes, doubting Thomas) was FLAYED in India for his proselytizing. But of course, Jesus is a myth, didn't really die and the apostles went out in tortuous ways to support the gaslighting of him being the son of God. Right liberal atheists and other non-Christians? Isn't that your story? Nice guy; myth; not God incarnate? Uh-huh.
I suggest you learn the Gospel - the incarnation, life, death and resurrection of Jesus - the Gospel. The Good News. The freedom from worry, guilt and emotional pain. The source of all hope in the universe.
Jesus is the only way off this planet into eternal bliss. The only way. It's a one-way street. There's two streets, of course. The narrow path to heaven and the highway to hell. Which path are you on?
END TIMESsteria: Best Satanic Olympics Memes (GrOoOomers!)
Guess who is banned (& not banned), wOoOoke, 6o6o6, pedo-olympics, how it started (& how its going), even Iran was outraged (as Muslims consider Jesus a prophet of God) & more satanic Olympics memes!
I did see a guy on Twitter/X whom I think was a boxer talking about how disgusted he was. I'm not a sports person so I wasn't familiar with him and can't remember his name.
Apparently the athletes also were told they couldn’t “praise Jesus” but I did see a story where one did so in sign language “BREAKING: Rayssa Leal, a Catholic skater won a Bronze Medal at the Paris World Olympics and she allegedly was told she wasn't allowed to praise Jesus Christ. Leal responded by saying 'Jesus is the way, the truth and the life' in sign
Not long ago, it occured to me that ALL ceremonies and award shows are for them to be worshipped and idolized. They put on a "show" to "show" us. Most or all of the participants are likely "granted" entry to participate like in any field: sport, movie, music, medical etc. Those who don't, never reach the top.
Not Jill. She’s hiding under a rock with probable major suicide watch depression after her so carefully orchestrated assassination attempt failed. Oh, how the mighty have fallen🥳
Am I the only one starting to get very scared that Trump may lose?
While Biden was running, even foreign leaders were talking to Trump as if he would most definitely be the next President, but I am getting really scared right now.
I don’t think we can afford to rest on our laurels, we need to do everything we can to win and to make sure they can’t cheat (or at least not enough to allow them to pretend to win).

are you in distress? Do you need prayer?
No, on the contrary, my situation is most excellent.
You could write a letter to Santa Claus for me,
but really I am not in need of anything.
You can pray for World Peace if you wish to pray for something.
Do you need a cleaning crew to clean up all the bird feces?
No, these are Surfin' birds over the ocean.
Bryan, are you a democrat?
No, I am a Free Thinking Independant.
are you new around here???
I believe Bryan is what is termed "a devout contrarian"!!
That would be an apt description.
How does YOUR garden grow, Bryan?

This is what I hold onto. Just lost my newborn grandson. And I am having some intense conversations with God.
Renea, I am so sorry for your loss, a grief I cannot even imagine. Asking the Lord to comfort as only He can and to fill all the empty places with His peace. Hugs to you.
❤️
So sorry for your family's loss, Renea. Your precious grandson is alive in the presence of God Almighty.
Amen!!!!!
I am so sorry. Prayers for comfort for you and your family…
I am so sorry for you and your families loss of your Grandson. Lean in to HIM during this time. Sending prayers
😭so very sorry💔I always pray for someone who needs “extra”today, and today, it must be you💞
Thank you. I prayed for all that I was worth as we waited for good or bad news. And those prayers were answered with a giant no. I know God is good but it does not take away the pain or unanswered questions. I will never get to sing to this new one, or hold him and snuggle him, kiss his eewwahhhs. I know I will get to see him again. We will bury him on family property tomorrow after paper work is dealt with. My large flower garden has now been renamed Finn's Garden.
What a beautiful tribute. So sorry for your loss. Lord, hold Renea and her family extra close today. May HE continue to give you strength and comfort as you go through this impossibly hard time.
YES YES YES!
I am so sorry for your loss. We did this after my sister was killed in a car accident. I would sit on the bench and listen to the creek and birds. It brought me great solace. I hope it does the same for you.

And He walks with me and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own…
And the joy we share as we tarry there…
None other has ever known.

Garden Lover: So beautiful and meaningful. My favorite song, too.
That is a a hymn we use at so many of our family funerals since I was a kid. Cemented in my memory
And remember that old adage, "We're closest to God in a garden"....and Finn is frolicking in GOD'S GARDEN right now!
We know that in God’s economy, Finn is not gone.
I love that you named your garden Finn’s Garden 😢 And what a beautiful name they chose.
You are in very good company with GIANT hole in your heart and lots of unanswered questions.
Not to take away from your pain - so many here have lost children or grandchildren - but in sympathy thinking on the family I posted about who in June lost their 6 year old in.a freak accident when her siblings were playing. She died almost instantly.

Dang,! Deep heavy pain for anyone losing a child.
I weep for you. This life is so hard. We must learn to help carry each others burdens. I'm speechless but my heart is with you. I'm so sorry.

What a wonderful prayer practice, Carol. I’m going to adopt it.
Prayers for those who need “extra” today 🙏🏻
I second this is a beautiful prayer practice.
❤️
Condolences to you & your family; may you all find peace & comfort that the world can never give but God can.
I am truly so sorry for your loss of your precious grandson…I can’t imagine…may the peace of God cover you and help you as you journey through this time of intense grief and lost.
We lost our granddaughter during childbirth and still can’t wrap my head around how He let this happen. His will.
💔my heart breaks with you.
"The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
blessed be the name of the LORD!” 😔🙏🏻❤️
What grief! Oh, my soul cries out for your loss. May His presence fill you with peace and comfort that extends beyond what each of you can comprehend.
I am so so sorry. Death and tragedy in childbirth is rarely talked about but it is real. I used to do statistics for mother baby in hospital.
I’m so sorry Barbara 😢💔😞
And @ 70....I just acquired my first grandchild last April. Harvey!
The future does not look as .GOV certain as they continue to advertise does it?
Sorry for your loss. And all the heartache that has entered the family.
We must be much more demanding about every thing going wrong for sure.
Congratulations!! Grandchildren are everything they are cracked up to be. Oddly my husband gets the most emotional over his grandchildren. He loves his two kids, but the grands do something even more to his heart.
maybe that's why they are called "grands" ?!?
💕💕💕🌸🌸🌸
I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord give you peace and the knowledge that Finn is joyful in heaven. You are in my prayers.
I am happy for you. My mom got her first at 70 also. 💕
Bingo...
Along with a new dog named Monty.
He's the other new peach in my life .
💕💕😁 Puppies bring me such joy
Congratulations Randall!!
Renea , words can’t express how sorry I am for your loss . My heart goes out to you and your precious family. Sending prayers of comfort . God bless .
Amen!
Amen!
And you chose right. Stay in His ways, He will comfort your spirit.
That’s so unbelievably sad. I am very sorry. I pray you find peace and comfort in your conversations with God.
Yes. I am moved to tears for her and her familys pain
My heart is moved by your unspeakable loss--HOWEVER...that grandson is waiting for his family to join him in the "sweet bye and bye".

God is why we never say never!
My heart breaks for you and your family 💔🙏🏻
Praying for you and all your family. Like you said, we won’t know why until we meet again.
So very sorry for your loss 💔
I repeat this verse to myself almost daily, W.S. - especially when considering in MY mind the awful turbulent nature of humanity and WHY does our Creator God love US--despicable despots that we are--SO MUCH!

The Sacre Coeur is beautiful! Was there on the steps on a sunny day in 1983. 🌅 😊
So, basically practicing ritual cannibalism then.
Uh, no. Consuming divinity.
How is consuming flesh and blood not cannibalism?
Sounds like some sort of macabre death cult.
Most organizations, if not all, religious or not, have symbolic gestures and practices to represent something honorable their group is about or to remind the members of something. Mocking or ridiculing any of them is absolutely heartless and disrespectful beyond words. I don’t care if it’s the VFW, the Boy Scouts, a local knitting club, a union, a sports team, a fishing club, whatever. They ALL have symbolism or superstitions, some big some small, that mean something to them as a group. If you wanted to be nasty you could find a way to spin any of them into something they aren’t and ridicule it. But decent people just don’t do that.
Communion is not ritual cannibalism. The flesh and blood does not represent actually eating human flesh and drinking human blood.
The ritual is representative of something else entirely, not literal. “In remembrance of me”.
The bread is so that we remember his body, which was solid, and that he was real and lived as a man on this earth among us, and his body was beaten and broken while he was still an innocent man not having broken any laws and free of all sin. He was hated and beaten for that. And he endured that for us, so that we wouldn’t have to take such a punishment. We eat bread in remembrance of his suffering.
The wine is the liquid that reminds us of his blood that was spilt for all of us when he died on the cross to wash our sins away, to cleanse us. In biblical days the blood of the choicest most prized lamb of a flock was the purest sacrifice you could ever make. Well in God’s flock, Jesus was the purest of us all - without any sin, perfect. So he was the perfect sacrifice for our shitty sins. Yeah, he even did that for you. He did that for all of us, to save us, because with his perfect sacrifice he had the power to die once for all of us so that anyone that accepted his sacrifice would never have to pay the price for their sins. (“The wages of sin is death”) God made that law, and as the judge who rightfully had to find us all guilty, according to the law he made, he was then able to come down from the bench and take off his robe and accept the punishment on our behalf. Like ANY loving father would do for his own child if he could. We drink the wine to remember he spilt his perfect blood for us even while we didn’t deserve it, while we were still sinners.
The belief is that the bread and wine become the actual flesh and blood
after the priest says some magic words over them.
'The Roman Catholic Church holds to the view of the Lord’s Supper called transubstantiation. It is the view that the bread and the wine become the actual body and blood of Christ, yet still retain the appearance of bread and wine.'
Heaven is supposed to be eternal. Why would it pass away? Need context here.
A new heaven and earth will be created, in the future, after Jesus returns and finishes the plan of the father, according to the Bible Isaiah 65:17-18
Amen! And Revelation
These are the Words of Jesus Himself, not a prophet nor an interpretation. Take them literally.
Here are some other connections to this fact:
“But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”
II Peter 3:7 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/2pe.3.7.NKJV
“Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.”
Revelation 6:14 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/rev.6.14.NKJV
There's the heavens we see and there's a heaven beyond we cannot see. So much beyond our comprehension but He still includes us.
Maybe pass away from our sight? Maybe pass away if we turn away and cut off our connection to heaven?
In context, "heaven and earth" is a turn of phrase to describe "the whole universe"; "heaven" is the skies above and "earth" is the earth beneath. "Heaven and earth" (being the current physical universe) will pass away, and be replaced by "a new heavens and a new earth". The author isn't referring here to "heaven" in the sense of God's dwelling place (because, I would argue, that was only ever a symbolic description to begin with - "God is in the heavens, he does whatever he pleases" describes God as metaphorically high above humans, not as literally living somewhere out in space).
Read or listen to the book called Heaven by Randy Alcorn for the long answer

“Therefore, be cheerful, men, for I believe God that it will turn out exactly as I have been told.”
— Paul, Acts 27:25 LSB

Isaiah 43:6
“I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;”
I highlighted that in my Bible :)
I know it is specific to the impending shipwreck, but it speaks a larger truth. It gets me right in the heart.
It conveys that whatever the circumstances, whatever and to whomever, whether death or life, happy or sad, terrible or magnificent, the Sovereign King of Heaven and earth, sitting on His Throne is still in control of it all...
Amen! And if He says something will happen, it WILL happen. That brings great comfort to me.
Honest question: Has even ONE of the Olympic athletes condemned this stupid stunt?...Recognizing their years and years of hard work and dedication by offering up a debauched freakshow?... One?....I don't pay much attention to these distractions. I do recall the deafening silence of a great many "experts" and "professionals" concerning a different matter. That didn't work out too well. (Aaron Rodgers, Kyrie Irving and Novak Djokovic collectively shake their heads).
Novak Djokovic is prominently displaying his crucifix.
How is he getting by without 8 covaids shots? Must be in the hospital a lot.
Citizen Free Press had this link with the headline "There is absolutely zero chance that Djokovic didn't remember this clip when he beat the shit out of Rafa Nadal today in Paris." : https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1817953738142670963
Great tennis player, but woefully tunnel visioned and research impaired. Myopic thought process on full display.
SO SHORT SIGHTED!!! "if you are vaxxxinated, you can play in the Australian Open"
SURE! but at what COST and for HOW LONG???!!!
All you have to do to be free is just "follow the rules". Sheesh...
I love Rafa (but I love and respect
“No-Vax” MORE!) but he mentions consequences here. Rafa is no doubt seeing and feeling consequences of his clot shots every match. He has retired, has he not?
🔥
I know right
I so love and respect “No-Vax” Djokovic!!!
“The Destroy the Olympics Committee” is off to good start. 1) Perfectly timed Atmospheric River 2) Satanic Opening Ceremony 3) Train System Down 4) Power Outage 5) Dysfunctional Olympic Village. What’s next?
God is working on it. Should be interesting to see how Biblically disastrous this literal Sh—show will be.
I appreciate God's gentle touch in correcting. He could've wiped Paris off the face of this earth.
Very true! As seen by Sodom and Gomorrah.
🎯
Don;t we know it!
Ohhh never ask what’s next😳
LOLL!!! It is 2024 after all.
Chinese Curse: "May you live in interesting times."
So.
I expect sudden deaths in formerly healthy twenty-year olds …
Sadly, thre already was a sudden death ...1st day of the games -- a wrestler.
I thought that was a wrestling coach.... not one of the competing athletes.
🥺that's awful.
the athletes are too busy ordering their own BEDS and finding decent FOOD outside of the DEFUNCT OLYMPIC VILLAGE...
Don’t forget the air conditioning. Hot and humid. Ah, the pleasures of the French Accords. If one athlete wakes up after this debacle, then it was a success.
In Daily Mail, but it was yesterday..one athlete had his own mattress delivered, (cardboard beds), there is no air conditioning, they have fake meat options like 'no dog' (fake hot dog), 60% is plant based, athletes are so desperate for protein that all the eggs are gone because the catering didn't expect so many to be consumed, portions are small, etc.
Disgraceful performance by the Transnational captured French.
leave it to the uber WOKE Frogs to not get it right!
OMG
Are things that bad? I am out of the loop. Olympic Village is awful?
Yes! Tons of "plant-based" food options over meat protein. Gotta keep up the whole "climate change" narrative!
I'd rather eat a tennis racket.
I'm sure they're doing that too! (laughing emoji!)
Novax eats a plant based diet.
So, he is likely fine with it.
Interesting. I'd like to see more reporting on this.

The catering service didn’t know that athletes require protein to maintain muscle? What a bunch of losers, France is showing their true colors.
omg that is horrifying. I actually feel very sorry for them. That must be hard to focus and compete if they can't get proper nutrition while they are there.
Frederick Richard (gymnast) was the athlete who had a mattress delivered.
I did see something on the local or national news yesterday about a bunch of them getting their own hotel room. They were running through the halls screaming with joy.
Surprised there are any hotel rooms left in the city, perhaps all the sane people went home after the opening spectacles and power outages.

Same
What? No bugs?!
I'm sure the bugs are hidden in there somewhere…we'll only find out after it's all over when they say, "See, they tasted pretty good, didn't they?".
LOLL!
That’s dreadful
And they have to worry they don’t end up in some muzzie no go zone, lest they be taken hostage, robbed, beaten, thrown off a roof, or raped.
I heard things were awful.
And they’re in Paris . . . so it gots to be awfully SMELLY!!! 🤢
Glad we don't have smelly-vision.

This makes me very distressed.
I heard on the radio that the Olympic athletes get TWO condoms per day per person. (And yes, the cardboard beds are firm enough to endure the use of condoms) 🙄🙏🌍
Olympic sex?
Withdrawing from competition?
As old as the Olympics!
Humans are historically omnivores
Or endorsing Kakala (twin morons Steve Kerr & Stephen Curry) from Paris. Just shut up & play
Yeah that did it for me - not watching ANYTHING! It’s hard, I’ve loved the Olympics since I was a child, but whatever this is, I want no part of it.
I agree Gigi. I esp liked gymnastics but I haven’t watched a minute of any of it
I’m red pilling my ignorant sister over these games. ( she still goes to Disneyland multiple times a year) She just said, they had better not say how wonderful these games went when they’re over. I said Oh they will they only have one playbook!
Thank you - I have had the same pain and frustration over this. I have ALWAYS loved the Olympics. I just love most sports in general. And I got to see the Olympics live in Atlanta when I was 16. It was so special. So to watch the way this horrid committee has destroyed the games and used them for evil (2012 comes to mind), it's nothing short of devastating. I hate that these monsters are ruining this for us.
“They” are ruining EVERYTHING for us, by demonic design….
Yes, like the days of sportscaster Jim McKay. Classic!
I loved Jim McKay! In the days of “the thrill of victory; the agony of defeat.”
Love her name! Been trying to come up with a fitting one & you’d nailed it.
Hope you’re honored that I want to steal it!
Can’t take credit; I saw it in another ‘stack comment section somewhere 😊
AGREED!!! Kakala!!! My spell check even wanted to fix it back to the real name, so IT KNOWS!!!! 😂
You know THEY will never experience any of the adverse effects of Democrat policies 🙄😡
The saving grace, as Jeff points out, is that Paris seems to be getting some divine retribution in the forms of bad weather, sabatoge & outages 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes!! 😁
I read that Brendan Brazier would go vegan for the 2024 Tour D'France. He didn't win a thing & I can't even find that he finished it. so much for being able to compete without meat......
Not Brendan Brazier. It's David Zabriskie. What do you have against vegans? https://www.triathlete.com/culture/news/david-zabriskie-going-vegan-for-the-tour-de-france/
Eric, most "experts and professionals" are silent especially when things they endorsed or support go south and fail miserably. See - the jab and scamdemic. 🤔😉
https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2024/07/29/brazilian-skateboarder-shares-profound-message-via-sign-language-after-winning-olympic-bronze-n2398978
Not actually condemning but I still love that this teenage skateboarder defied the order not to mention anything religious ❤️
They took it down!? Unbelievable.
https://x.com/GrahamAllen_1/status/1817894755675549910
If you scroll down you should be able to see it still.
Brazilian Skateboarder Rayssa Leal used sign language to say “Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light”, after winning a bronze medal.
Why do the ''Olympic Games'' have the monopoly on athletic awards?
Why don't the athletes come up with something better for themselves?
Are the sponsors putting on the athletic equivalent of the Oscars, or the woke portions of the NFL?
The sponsors for the Olympics appear to be no better than the drug companies sponsoring all livestream services like Hulu (owned by Disney, I think I saw the other day) et al, and corporate media.
It's demeaning to the athletes to have to depend on the Olympics for recognition and awards.
The Olympics lost whatever beauty they had when professional athletes were included. The idea of the Olympics was amateur athletes compete. The most thrilling Olympics I’ve watched were the Miracle on Ice, the forgotten sports coming to win unexpectedly, and the work it took to get there. When they started making it about millionaire basketball stars being selected to add another trophy to their cases at home, I was completely turned off. I know that this turn supposedly allowed more eyeballs to all the Olympic events and more money in sponsorship dollars, but they are hardly watchable any longer. They are now a large middle finger to America and the American people. Brittany Griner playing for the U.S. women’s team? She spit on the American people and the flag. We allowed her to compete?
Maybe this is God giving us a slap upside the head, telling us, “when is it enough? Too much?” When do we stand up and say no more….NO MORE!
If you know the history of the Olympic Games, they had a few caveats: no city-state was allowed to compete if they were in war; the winners were awarded a laurel branch, and their home town would tear down a part of their wall (we have an Olympian, we don't need walls to defend us). My how things have changed
There have been controversies in all the modern day Olympics, but we believed that we rose above those conflicts and were better for it. Perhaps we just kept pushing what they really were farther down the road to this ending, a grandiose statement to crap and evil.
But then I watched the men’s gymnasts compete in the team finals and the joy of winning a bronze medal by these guys was equivalent to any gold celebration. That’s what it is about, perhaps.
🎯 Because we have generations of cowards who would rather protect their endorsements, fame, fortune and ability to play sports for a living rather than get real jobs that impact real life. And we expect THEM to stand up and risk it all? They are overpaid (on purpose) to keep the public distracted. We love entertainment and sports and so those are the places they pay astronomical monies to, and elevate people to be celebrities that people fawn all over and wanna be like. I never understood why someone makes MILLIONS to hit a ball, catch a ball, throw a ball etc. And why garbage men barely make enough to feed their families, teachers make squat, firemen and police make squat to risk their lives, assembly line workers make peanuts in comparison.
I haven’t seen ONE of them stand up. The only thing I’ve seen is C Spire company stand up, and I hope they get so busy from new business it makes their heads spin. The reward should go to the courageous!! Those athletes should take notice of the examples you gave. They aren’t suffering for standing up for what’s right….they are being applauded. But it isn’t an easy path. Just asked the men who died to give us our very freedom. They sacrificed it all. Ask the men in the Bible who were murdered for standing up. I bet they don’t regret ever doing what they did even though they were murdered for it.
I have CSpire as my cellphone provider. So glad they yanked their ads! Could not be more proud of a MS based company standing up for what’s right!
Um, murdered doesn't really do it justice. Thomas, for one example (yes, doubting Thomas) was FLAYED in India for his proselytizing. But of course, Jesus is a myth, didn't really die and the apostles went out in tortuous ways to support the gaslighting of him being the son of God. Right liberal atheists and other non-Christians? Isn't that your story? Nice guy; myth; not God incarnate? Uh-huh.
I suggest you learn the Gospel - the incarnation, life, death and resurrection of Jesus - the Gospel. The Good News. The freedom from worry, guilt and emotional pain. The source of all hope in the universe.
Jesus is the only way off this planet into eternal bliss. The only way. It's a one-way street. There's two streets, of course. The narrow path to heaven and the highway to hell. Which path are you on?
Nice.💯
Great post! I love that about C Spire!
END TIMESsteria: Best Satanic Olympics Memes (GrOoOomers!)
Guess who is banned (& not banned), wOoOoke, 6o6o6, pedo-olympics, how it started (& how its going), even Iran was outraged (as Muslims consider Jesus a prophet of God) & more satanic Olympics memes!
https://covidsteria.substack.com/p/best-satanic-olympics-memes-groooomers
I did see a guy on Twitter/X whom I think was a boxer talking about how disgusted he was. I'm not a sports person so I wasn't familiar with him and can't remember his name.
Good question. Weird just keeps getting weirder and even the spelling of weird is weird.
I before E except after... oh, wait. Hmmmm, English. Weird.
Apparently the athletes also were told they couldn’t “praise Jesus” but I did see a story where one did so in sign language “BREAKING: Rayssa Leal, a Catholic skater won a Bronze Medal at the Paris World Olympics and she allegedly was told she wasn't allowed to praise Jesus Christ. Leal responded by saying 'Jesus is the way, the truth and the life' in sign
language to protest.
I wonder how many even know. The ones who were competing over the weekend were focused on their competitions I'm sure.
Yes that was my thought too, they may not have really been paying attention.
I searched. Can’t find any.
😢
The Olympics has been satanic for a long time but nobody cared.
2012 Olympics Predictive Sh*! show
https://www.bitchute.com/video/sQg9dlKsaiNC
Not long ago, it occured to me that ALL ceremonies and award shows are for them to be worshipped and idolized. They put on a "show" to "show" us. Most or all of the participants are likely "granted" entry to participate like in any field: sport, movie, music, medical etc. Those who don't, never reach the top.
I’ve seen and read about some of the olympians praying regarding this.
I have to laugh - Biden’s list is a prime example of what would have kept someone like him from a lifetime of grifting.
More of the Alinsky tactic: accuse them of what you are doing...
Nice!
Later Jay
Right??
And it’s not like HE is even making these suggestions anyway, it’s got to be his staff or Jill or someone else.
Not Jill. She’s hiding under a rock with probable major suicide watch depression after her so carefully orchestrated assassination attempt failed. Oh, how the mighty have fallen🥳
Having too much fun with the debauchery in Paris no doubt 😑
Am I the only one starting to get very scared that Trump may lose?
While Biden was running, even foreign leaders were talking to Trump as if he would most definitely be the next President, but I am getting really scared right now.
I don’t think we can afford to rest on our laurels, we need to do everything we can to win and to make sure they can’t cheat (or at least not enough to allow them to pretend to win).
