#Heart of the Matter: Why #Microplastics, not #Cholesterol in the Diet, May Be Driving #HeartDisease https://www.infowars.com/posts/heart-of-the-matter-why-microplastics-not-cholesterol-in-the-diet-may-be-driving-heart-disease

Beloved, there is a reason that sloth is considered one of the “seven deadly sins.” While such a list can be said only loosely to be founded in Scripture, laziness is spoken against in many a passage.

We are told in Proverbs that “A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, then your poverty will come as a robber and your want like an armed man” (Prov. 24:33-34). Thinking we can while away our time and not pay consequences is foolishness. Laziness results in poverty.

Conversely, productivity and hard work result in sustenance, at the very least. This is, unfortunately, a result of living in a fallen world. As God promised Adam, “Cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; and you will eat the plants of the field; by the sweat of your face you will eat bread, until you return to the ground” (Gen. 3:17-19).

We often believe there is virtue in giving to those who lack, but how frequently do we consider the reason for that lack? Paul himself taught that “if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either” (2 Thes. 3:10). This echoes the admonition from Proverbs.

Therefore, let no one among the body of Christ lead an undisciplined life, not working but eating of the bread of others; instead let us work for and eat the fruit of our own labors and never grow weary of doing good (2 Thes. 3:12-13).

"Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: so shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man." Proverbs 24:33, 34

The worst of sluggards only ask for a little slumber; they would be indignant if they were accused of thorough idleness. A little folding of the hands to sleep is all they crave, and they have a crowd of reasons to show that this indulgence is a very proper one. Yet by these littles the day ebbs out, and the time for labour is all gone, and the field is grown over with thorns. It is by little procrastinations that men ruin their souls. They have no intention to delay for years- a few months will bring the more convenient season- tomorrow if you will, they will attend to serious things; but the present hour is so occupied and altogether so unsuitable, that they beg to be excused. Like sands from an hour-glass, time passes, life is wasted by driblets, and seasons of grace lost by little slumbers. Oh, to be wise, to catch the flying hour, to use the moments on the wing! May the Lord teach us this sacred wisdom, for otherwise a poverty of the worst sort awaits us, eternal poverty which shall want even a drop of water, and beg for it in vain. Like a traveller steadily pursuing his journey, poverty overtakes the slothful, and ruin overthrows the undecided: each hour brings the dreaded pursuer nearer; he pauses not by the way, for he is on his master's business and must not tarry. As an armed man enters with authority and power, so shall want come to the idle, and death to the impenitent, and there will be no escape. O that men were wise be-times, and would seek diligently unto the Lord Jesus, or ere the solemn day shall dawn when it will be too late to plough and to sow, too late to repent and believe. In harvest, it is vain to lament that the seed time was neglected. As yet, faith and holy decision are timely. May we obtain them this night.

Hey guys, better watch; no more wearing pajamas on flights or looking like Hollywood trash. Transportation Secretary Duffy wants all passengers to show up in a suit and tie to add civility back into air travel. Hey Duffy be sure to tell the airlines now to increase seat spacing like it was in the 50’s and 60’s, note vintage seating photo enclosed, oh and get the free meals back, except for Southworst airlines, let them keep their dam peanuts. No more cattle car airplanes.

Amidst the Government Shutdown, the United States Attorney’s Office Continues Efforts to Combat Violent Crime and Crimes Against Our Children

Brethren, in His revelation to the apostle John, the Lord paints a picture of paradise with a river running through it, clear as crystal, by which grows the tree of life, and which is self flows with the water of life. Likewise, in Isaiah, the prophet relates that “the majestic One, the LORD, will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals” (Isa. 33:21).

Believer, how beautiful this imagery is! Rivers provide the water necessary for life and growth. Often the Bible refers to those who trust in God as trees planted by a river (Ps. 1:3; Jer. 17:8). Such trees do fear neither heat nor drought. Such trees bear much fruit.

Rivers may also provide protection. As Isaiah continues regarding the rivers and wide canals, he expounds that no boat nor ship will pass. They will not be used for commerce. They will not be used for bringing battle. No, these rivers and canals flow from the Lord, and “He will save us” (Isa. 33?22).

What great news! Today, consider this wonderful news, and drink from those waters that your leaves may always be green, and that you may ever bear fruit for the Lord!

"The glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams." Isaiah 33:21

Broad rivers and streams produce fertility, and abundance in the land. Places near broad rivers are remarkable for the variety of their plants and their plentiful harvests. God is all this to His Church. Having God she has abundance. What can she ask for that He will not give her? What want can she mention which He will not supply? "In this mountain shall the Lord of Hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things." Want ye the bread of life? It drops like manna from the sky. Want ye refreshing streams? The rock follows you, and that Rock is Christ. If you suffer any want it is your own fault; if you are straitened you are not straitened in Him, but in your own bowels. Broad rivers and streams also point to commerce. Our glorious Lord is to us a place of heavenly merchandize. Through our Redeemer we have commerce with the past; the wealth of Calvary, the treasures of the covenant, the riches of the ancient days of election, the stores of eternity, all come to us down the broad stream of our gracious Lord. We have commerce, too, with the future. What galleys, laden to the water's edge, come to us from the millennium! What visions we have of the days of heaven upon earth! Through our glorious Lord we have commerce with angels; communion with the bright spirits washed in blood, who sing before the throne; nay, better still, we have fellowship with the Infinite One. Broad rivers and streams are specially intended to set forth the idea of security. Rivers were of old a defence. Oh! beloved, what a defence is God to His Church! The devil cannot cross this broad river of God. How he wishes he could turn the current, but fear not, for God abideth immutably the same. Satan may worry, but he cannot destroy us; no galley with oars shall invade our river, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

Mark
Chapter 10

1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.

5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Too many people are either too lazy to think for themselves or they don't know how.

"Late-night host Stephen Colbert just admitted that shows like his are meant to instruct viewers on how to think…

While speaking on the topic, Colbert said, “Well, we are like your friend who at the end of the day paid attention to what happened today more than you did. And then we curate that back to you at the end of the day.”

“But it’s really more about how we feel about—or I, as the person who is the vehicle for that—how we felt about today. All those things that might’ve made you confused, angry, or anxious or happy or surprised or something like that,” Colbert added. “I share those feelings with the audience and they laugh or they don’t laugh. And there’s a sense of community there.”

Can you believe this? This guy actually thinks he’s doing us a favor."

The only way to stop it is to make judges responsible for their actions - in this case make her responsible for this woman's assault and injuries...

Following Reed’s 49th arrest in August, for which he was accused of assaulting a security worker, CBS News revealed that Cook County Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez IGNORED a Cook County assistant state’s attorney dire warning on August 22 that Reed had a lengthy criminal history and that his next crime would “likely be violent.”

The attorney added that electric monitoring “could not protect the victim or the community from another vicious, random, and spontaneous attack.”

Instead, Molina-Gonzalez allowed Reed to WALK FREE with an ankle monitor and had this callous response for why:

"“I can’t keep everybody in jail because the State’s Attorney wants me to,” she claimed.

She KNEW this man was dangerous, and he had a criminal history longer than the state of Illinois. Yet, she STILL said he deserved freedom.

Now, thanks to her, a woman is suffering and perhaps fighting for her life.

What is it going to take to stop judges like Molina-Gonzalez from releasing violent criminals back onto the street? Perhaps prosecuting the judges themselves?"

Most of these women mentioned in this piece have not done anything to warrant any attention, but I will give the columnist credit, who is a woman by the way, for taking a stand against immodesty and for raising her daughter to follow a path of modesty. The only place for a woman to be immodest is within the four walls of her home and around her husband. He is the only man whose attention she needs. She does not need the attention of any other.

Rhian Mannings, a woman who lost her husband to suicide after the death of their one year old son, makes an excellent point about grief:

Never tell anyone that you know how they feel, even if you have suffered the same or similar loss as they have and the reason why this might be is because even two people who have suffered the loss of children can be impacted differently; one may be impacted by the loss of their offspring more deeply than another who has been bereaved of their offspring and no two people navigate through their grief the exact same way and there could be a number of different reasons for that.

One thing is for certain in that we do have to be careful what we say to someone who has suffered the loss of a loved and especially if they have suffered the loss of a child, even if we have suffered such losses ourselves.

Grieving people can take offense to even those things said to the out of the best of intentions. It is hard to imagine how or why even those who have suffered loss would have to choose their words wisely when attempting to comfort and console someone else who has also suffered a similar loss, but this item definitely gives the reader something to think about, especially if they happen to know one who has experienced the loss of someone they held dear.

Brethren, what is the aim of our lives? Is it not to please and glorify our Creator? Do not all things exist for His glory?

He purchased you with His own blood (Acts 20:28), and He sealed you with His Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 1:22; Eph. 1:13, 4:30). Now you are a temple of God, and His Spirit dwells within you (1 Cor. 34:16).

Our lives, therefore, should evince the change wrought in us, the holiness that flows from God’s temple. We are no longer to walk in futility of mind, for we are no longer darkened in our understanding of(Eph. 4:17-18). We are not to be callous, as are the unsaved, nor given over to sensuality (Eph. 4:19).

We must lay aside falsehood, speaking honestly with one another (Eph. 4:25). Anger must not lead us to sin, nor shall we allow anger to fester in our hearts (Eph. 4:26). Such behaviors as these give Satan opportunity in our lives (Eph. 4:27). We must rise above. He who once stole must steal no longer, but work honestly for that which he receives (Eph. 4:28). And our speech is to be tempered, not unwholesome, edifying those around us (Eph. 4:29).

Let us put away any bitterness or anger we harbor, as well as any slander or malice (Eph. 4:31), for these do not please God nor do they aid in our sanctification; instead, these quench His Holy Spirit who lives in us (1 Thes. 5:19).

So, let us not grieve the Holy Spirit (Eph. 4:30), but “be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven” us (Eph. 4:31).

"Grieve not the Holy Spirit." Ephesians 4:30

All that the believer has must come from Christ, but it comes solely through the channel of the Spirit of grace. Moreover, as all blessings thus flow to you through the Holy Spirit, so also no good thing can come out of you in holy thought, devout worship, or gracious act, apart from the sanctifying operation of the same Spirit. Even if the good seed be sown in you, yet it lies dormant except He worketh in you to will and to do of His own good pleasure. Do you desire to speak for Jesus- how can you unless the Holy Ghost touch your tongue? Do you desire to pray? Alas! what dull work it is unless the Spirit maketh intercession for you! Do you desire to subdue sin? Would you be holy? Would you imitate your Master? Do you desire to rise to superlative heights of spirituality? Are you wanting to be made like the angels of God, full of zeal and ardour for the Master's cause? You cannot without the Spirit- "Without me ye can do nothing." O branch of the vine, thou canst have no fruit without the sap! O child of God, thou hast no life within thee apart from the life which God gives thee through His Spirit! Then let us not grieve Him or provoke Him to anger by our sin. Let us not quench Him in one of His faintest motions in our soul; let us foster every suggestion, and be ready to obey every prompting. If the Holy Spirit be indeed so mighty, let us attempt nothing without Him; let us begin no project, and carry on no enterprise, and conclude no transaction, without imploring His blessing. Let us do Him the due homage of feeling our entire weakness apart from Him, and then depending alone upon Him, having this for our prayer, "Open Thou my heart and my whole being to Thine incoming, and uphold me with Thy free Spirit when I shall have received that Spirit in my inward parts."

Rise With Me, Little Blossoms

Wake now, little blossoms,
I feel you dreaming beneath the soil.
The moon has climbed her silver path,
And she is calling your names softly
as softly as my grandmother once called mine.

Stretch your colors toward the night.
Let your petals remember their stories.
Mother Earth is waiting to wear your beauty,
to feel your songs rising
like warm breath against her skin.

Do not fear the darkness
I walk with you, child-flowers,
and the spirits walk with me.
Together, we will scatter light
across these quiet fields
until even the stars lean closer.

Come now, awaken.
Bloom with me in this sacred hour.
Let us shine together beneath the full moon.
You in your radiant colors,
and I in the grace of the ancestors
so the world may know
That beauty still chooses to live.

"Graphene-based nanomaterials are being paired with common over-the-counter drugs like ibuprofen. "Innovations" like these are becoming increasingly important in the era of biodigital convergence, where medicine, advanced materials, and digital technologies are rapidly merging the physical and digital world..
This paper states that graphene oxide and its modified forms are being explored as smart drug-delivery carriers for ibuprofen because their ultra-thin, high-surface-area sheets can hold large amounts of the drug and release it in a controlled way inside the body. Their surfaces contain oxygen-based chemical groups that make them water-dispersible and allow ibuprofen to attach either between the layers or along the sheet edges through hydrophobic and π–π interactions. According to the authors this lets graphene oxide protect ibuprofen as it passes through the harsh, acidic environment of the stomach—where the drug normally causes irritation—and then release much more of it later in the intestine, where absorption happens. By tuning the surface chemistry of graphene (such as adding sulfonic or carboxyl groups), researchers can control how tightly ibuprofen binds and how quickly it is released, making graphene-based nanomaterials promising candidates for "safer," more efficient ibuprofen delivery.
Provided below is a section-by-section overview of the paper "Comparative Study of Various Graphene Oxide Structures as Efficient Drug Release Systems for Ibuprofen""
