Fifth Day of Advent

DAILY PRAYER: Dear Lord, Show each of us what gifts You have given to each of us to give to Your son. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

EVERYDAY HEROES: During college, Veronika Scott was assigned the task of designing something to fill a social need. After five months of working closely with the individuals at a local homeless shelter, she had designed a heat-trapping jacket that can transform into a warm and weather-resistant sleeping bag. At one point during her visits at the shelter, Veronika was approached by a woman who stated that “We don’t need coats. We need jobs.” Scott began to hire and train homeless mothers to make the coats, a project that evolved into a non-profit organization known as Empowerment Plan.

“Our goal is to help build a better life for those that have become trapped in the cycle of homelessness. We mostly hire homeless parents from local shelters to become full time seamstresses so that they can earn a stable income, find secure housing, and gain back their independence for themselves and for their families.”

HOLIDAY SHOPPING: If you’re not into burritos, it also comes in waffle, sprinkle doughnut, pepperoni pizza, and dairy cow. Customer review notes the default (cheapest) is a baby blanket, not the big one shown on the model.

HYPOCRISY: CLICK https://x.com/mazemoore/status/1995586141287055630 [1:23] to hear Obama say in October 2016 how dangerous it is to question the legitimacy of an election, then in December 2016, question the legitimacy of an election.

ISLAM: [6:46] – Comment: “What kind of God would promise the souls of 72 virgins to a homicide bomber? Satan would.

PHYSICS IS FUN: [7:35] – When I was a graduate student in Communication Arts at Cornell, our professor told us a story to illustrate his lesson about redefining a problem that seems to have no solution. IOW, asking the right question. The story was about an apartment building super who kept getting pink slips from tenants complaining that the elevator was too slow. He had the elevator guys come several times, but they said it was running at peak efficiency. The super changed his question from “How do I speed up the elevator?” to “How do we stop the tenants from complaining about waiting for the elevator?” Solution: Install full length mirrors beside each of the elevator doors.

PRAYER for OUR NATION: Dear Lord, Fill our nation with Your Son! In His Holy Name, we pray. Amen.

SCIENCE: Maybe Australia’s draconian 94% COVID-19 vaccination rate might have something to do with it?

TRUMP: [15:09] – Jesse Watters reports on Trump’s 9th cabinet meeting. Biden held 9 also, but that was during his entire term, not his first year. Also, Jill hosted one of them. But yeah, let’s hear from Democrats about how Trump is in decline. ::smh::

CLICK https://x.com/DOGE__news/status/1995815206161965056 [2:30] to hear Donald Trump on Oprah many years ago. Interesting! Democrats loved him when he identified as one of them. As soon as he decided to run as a Republican, he became the worst man on the planet.

CLICK https://x.com/ScottJenningsKY/status/1996241994255913386 [:32] to hear Scott Jennings speak truth to power about Jeffrey Epstein’s relationships with Trump vs. Democrats.
