Christ walks on the water to his Apostles in the midst of the lake, at around 3 am, the fourth watch, as they toil, tormented, against the storm. Behold the miracle, but we have to ask, why did Christ perform it, why did he choose this particular way to cross the sea of Galilee?
Consider the Old Testament context, where we find many aquatic miracles, including Elisha parting the Jordan with Elijah's mantle, Joshua parting the Jordan and preeminently Moses, who famously parts the Red Sea so that the Israelites can pass through, unscathed.
Granted, great signs of divine power in the persons of God's messengers and leaders, but Christ is more than this, and he does something only God can do, he walks on water. Scripture is clear, this is God's domain, "The Lord alone stretches forth the heavens and walks on the waves of the sea," (Job 9:8) which is exactly what Christ does. He says as much.
In the fourth watch, in the dead of night, as the storm blows fiercely, Jesus comes to the men on the boat and says, "Take heart, it is I, Have no fear." It is I; in the Greek, ἐγώ εἰμι, literally I Am. We've heard this before, Christ is telling the Apostles that He is the same God who spoke to Moses from the burning bush. Accordingly, they should have no fear. Our Lord then gets into the boat and the storm is stilled, leaving them "astounded."
Yes indeed, here is a man who is also God and the Apostles attempt to grapple with this fact. We leave them, astounded, in the boat. The same boat which we see from our vantage point as a model of the Church, making her progress through the waters of the world. The Church to which Christ comes in the fourth watch of Antichrist's storm and saves her, at his second coming, putting an end to evil and sin for all time.
Christ comes to us today, no matter how high or fiercely the tempest blows against us, and says as he said to his Apostles, "Take heart, it is I, Have no fear." And neither should we. In him, Jesus, who died and rose again we have found salvation, the forgiveness of sins and resurrection to eternal life. Nothing, not even the Olympic marketing team itself, can take that from us.
So be of good cheer and give God the glory.

We're supposed to go to war, not least against China, which we've outsourced all our industry to. And why? Because we have to defend Western Values. What are these? In the old days, they used to include freedom of the Press and Religion.
Now? Not so much, more like freedom to desecrate, blaspheme and mock every Christian virtue, see Paris and its satanic glitter rainbow trans Olympics. How degenerate and wicked.
The same parties who are paying for this deconstruction of Christian virtue are also baying for war. Go figure, their Father was a murderer from the beginning, but would you fight for that, put your life on the very line for this grotesesque mockery?
Of course you wouldn't, no wonder the US Army faces a massive shortfall in recruits. So, why have the demons gone down this self-defeating path? Because, dear readers, they aren't rational. See Kamala Harris and her forerunner, Biden. And as always, beware the rainbow pony and its vicious thudding hooves.
Your Old Buddy,

So how is life in the North Central Texas Exclusion Zone, so-called LSP? Good question, and I'll tell you. It's blissfully cool, seriously, in the 80s, and this is Texas in late July. Enjoy it while you can. On topic, which is worse, the HEAT or the COLD.
I've lived in both, Alberta and Texas, and feel heat is marginally better, but only marginally, both can kill you. That in mind, what drove Europeans to settle these places? They faced the elements, utterly hostile, low-barbaric Indians and all of that. Possibly, on both counts, a death sentence. So why do it?
Adventure and opportunity for sure, come to the New World and make a new future for yourself. But also this. Things in the Old World, Europe, have to have been bad, so bad that they risked their lives to come here. No small thing, tough people, not least in Texas.
That in mind, here we are, with Europe in a state of, apparently, complete degeneracy, and our bicoastal elites fully inline with the Lesbitransgay++ agenda. Will the country as a whole, which is by no means rainbow woke, stand up against these tin-pot glitter Maoists, and say enough is enough?
To put it another way, will all the Christians stand up, go to the ballot box and vote against abortion and transing in such numbers that even a Deep State rig couldn't fix the result. I'm waiting.
Your Buddy,

No one voted for her in the Dem primaries because she was so hated, stupid, and hated. Will you vote for this total unelected fraud in November? Or will you even bother to vote at all? I will, just for kix.
But your call, no "rule,"
LSP
The phone rang, a Calgary number, "Hey, have you been watching the Olympics?" I replied, quick off the mark, "No, I have not," and was told that maybe I should have been because "there is some crazy evil, satanic weirdness going down, an homage to Marie Antionette, decapitated, a gang of drag queens mocking the Last Supper, and you know what? In the middle of it all, the bells of Notre Dame rung for the first time in like five years. The presenters ignored it. What utter satans."
The bells of Our Lady of Paris rung out, for the first time since that great church was burned down, just as the mockery of Christ and Antionette played across the screens of the world. What contrast. Degeneracy, and the Faith. Blasphemous parodies of men and women and the purity of the Gospel and Our Lady. Who will win?
The Faith, obviously, that's assured. In the meanwhile, expect all kinds of turbulence, enough to "deceive the very elect." This too is assured, but have you noticed Satan's puppets are decreasing in value, that they're becoming somehow thin, lacking in substance? Of course you have, just look at Biden, Harris and the so-called performing art of the Olympics.
At some point, perhaps in the not so very distant future, their lies will come home to haunt them and they'll be blown away, like smoke before the wind.
In Hoc,

Dear Lord, Kyrie...
Maybe Mr. Skullhead wants to take a reality check. Please.
That in mind, the United Kingdom has maybe enough bullets to fight a war for two days or weeks and the same applies to the rest of, cough, Fortress Europa. So, kids, how we gonna do it against Russia and China? Because that's what we're saying, industrial war against the Kremlin and the Forbidden Palace but whoops, we don't have the industry. We gave it all to Chyna. But we do have gaslight magicke.
Your Very Best Friend,

Today's the Feast of St. James, Apostle and martyr. A close friend of of Lord, James was present at the raising of Jairus' daughter, the Transfiguration and the Garden of Gethsemane. He waas the first of the Apostles to be martyred, at the orders of Herod Agrippa.
Tradition has it that James evangelized in Spain before his return to Judea and martyrdom, and that his body was buried in Galicia. His tomb was discovered in the 9th century AD and a great church, Santiago de Compostela, built on the site, where it remains today.
In 844, the Apostle appeared to Pedro Marcio appeared to Pedro Marcio, whose Christian war band were fighting numerically superior Moslem invaders, and said:
Did not you know that my Lord Jesus Christ, while distributing the other provinces in the world to my brothers, the other apostles, luckily entrusted me the guardianship of all Spain and placed it under my protection? (…) Keep your courage, because I will come to assist you tomorrow, God willing, to vanquish all that big crowd of enemies surrounding you. However, many of your soldiers will be destined for eternal rest and will receive the crown of martyrdom during your struggle for the name of Christ. And so that there is no doubt you will see me dressed in white on a white horse, holding in my hand a white banner. Therefore, at dawn, after receiving the sacrament of penance with the confession of sins, after receiving the Communion of the Body and Blood of the Lord in the Mass, do not be afraid to challenge the Saracens’ squadrons, invoking God’s name and mine, and taking for certain they will fall to the edge of the sword.
The Apostle wasn't lying. The Reconquista was victorious and St. James is invoked as Matamoros, Moor Slayer. Here's the BCP Collect:
GRANT, O merciful God, that, as thine holy Apostle Saint James, leaving his father and all that he had, without delay was obedient unto the calling of thy Son Jesus Christ, and followed him; so we, forsaking all worldly and carnal affections, may be evermore ready to follow thy holy commandments; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Never, ever surrender the Faith,

Those crazy kids are at it again! /pol:
Something wild is happening, bros. My dad just got back from the lumber yard in Minnesota, and I asked him how the crew was handling the news that ol’ joey had decided to hang up his campaign trail boots instead of running for office again.
He told me that, honestly, a lot of them had been leaning towards Trump for a while. Keyword: had. Now there's a buzz around the yard that's electric.
A lot of the guys are really pumped about Kamala stepping up as the new frontrunner. My dad said that even the yard's legendary prankster, Timber Tim, mentioned that he and his partner donated their entire tax refund to Kamalas campaign just yesterday.
Most of us thought he was setting up another of his classic jokes, but Timber Tim had the receipt to prove it. When the other guys saw that, many of them started pulling out their smartphones and making donations to Kamala too. I can't even begin to describe what the excitement is like here on the ground in Minnesota for Kamala Harris 2024. Ol' Oakland Kam got my vote.
Is the Cackling Whore not the best presidential candidate in the history of history? And don't even think about calling she/her a DEI hire because that would be racist, deeply racist.
Yes, strange, weird and hideously racist rumours that Kamala Harris is worth a paltry $8MN are entirely unfounded. As are disgusting slurs that her people were a wealthy slave-trading operation in Jamaica. A rich tradition, which Kamala continued by imprisoning slave labor in California.
Just watch as tens of millions vote for this evil, stupid, babbling, incoherent excrescence because always vote Democrat. Like wow. Are you sure, punters, that universal franchise is a good thing?
And while we're at it, if the Deep State, WEF, Illuminati Global World Order was as dangerous as we think it is, and they surely are, why would they choose such obviously rubbish puppets? Does Satan have a quality control issue?
Cheers,
LSP
Gentlemen and women, do you think, at this point, that there's some kind of relevance in voting, at all? And while we're at it, is that a nasty flesh eating skin carcinoma on Harris' lower lip? Looks pretty flesh eating to me, and what would you expect from a creature who belongs to SATAN.
Who knows, perhaps Christians around the country will actually tear themselves away from Joeal Osteen and go out and vote. Same applies to you, so-called catholics. In the meanwhile, isn't she/her beautiful. Dear God, we've come to this.
Kyrie Eleison, let's put it right and have this back, please.

OK, we've heard from the Heimat, now it's time for something different, the Devil's Brigade march-in, via Old TV Tech:
Always loved the movie. Thanks, Tech,
