The Supreme Court Overturns Row vs. Wade

June 24, 2022

I have been praying for this since I was born. DNA is there at conception, where human rights begin. Now it is the law of the land, yet again. BUT THERE ARE GRAVE CONCERNS  as this was done without universal health care, and without help for unwed mothers and the children of these mothers! It is time for us to help these women!

 I always said that if this ever happened, I would go immediately to a pregnancy crisis center and volunteer! So I did!

 The reason why I included my Facebook post is because the 2 people who who liked it represent the 2 opposite ends of the spectrum: one vastly conservative the other incredibly liberal. Unity is my goal! Let us all live together as one. Peace! ✌ ☮

Texas 2022 : My Big Moment in the Chosen & Remembrance Art

This is when Jesus asks the Apostles to gather baskets from the crowd. Here I am under the red arrow!! Matthew was the one near us! ... And he was only a few yards away when they yelled "cut" ... so we got shafted out of the bread and fish. And here is my own shot from the scene after they yelled "cut" :

And under "CONTRIBUTORS" in Season 3, Episode 8 or S3 E8 :

And in honor of our time in The Chosen, I made this:

And out of love, Brian made this (aptly called "The Giant Olive Oil Meme" :

How we pretend to feel.....

How we REALLY feel ...

"Crispy": how our first century feet feel.
