Women are like ... bacon or ham.

They SMELL good ... TASTE good ... and slowly KILL men.

ALAMAT - 'Day And Night' (Official M/V)

Feinstein appears confused during Senate committee vote, told to 'just s...

One is wondering why older politicians stay in this profession for so long when they need to rest and enjoy the remaining chapters of their lives stress-free in the confines of their homes or vacationing around the world.  

The situation is alarming after we witness three senior US government officials on three separate occasions displaying signs of cognitive decline and mental or physical fatigue.  President Biden for one in one instance tripped 3 times in a matter of five seconds as he ascend the stairs of Airforce 1 ... and making it to the top of the stair is by far his greatest accomplishment as president one audacious commenter said. 

One friend was quick to say: Many past presidents have fallen DOWN in the stairs of airplanes ... but falling UP the stairway is pretty unusual. I admire his ability to pick up and carry on ... but the salute is both hilarious and admirable ... I will try to exhibit the same resilience next time I screw up beyond all belief!

It's funny because he wanted to show everybody that he looks

energetic and strong by walking up the stairs fast, but instead,

he showed that his feet work faster than his brain.

Diane Feinstein on the other hand appeared confused when she

was asked to vote in a committee prompting an unnamed senator

to say her mental capabilities are getting worse. The senator opted

to return to work after a health-related absence that lasted for two

months. But she remains unwilling to entertain discussions about

leaving the Senate. 

And Mitch McConnell the other day freeze while giving a speech.

The other colleagues said he is fine and then laugh off at the

serious question about his mental state.

One of the reporters was heard saying " he is off" ... referring to

Mitch as some sort of a computer device. Was the Mitch talking

to reporters ... a synthetic clone? Or was he rebooted which is why

he was "on" again?

As lifetime and career politicians, it is time for Joe, Diane and

Mitch to step out of the political limelight and head back to their

state and enjoy their final years.

A lot of promising presidents and senator wannabe are waiting

for their chance. We definitely need term and age limits in

government.

The Parable Of The Wheat and Weeds: What It Means

Parables are easy to understand, and to those people whose brain cells are on eternal rest and need little stimulation ... let us simplify what it says and what it meant.

Just like last Sunday, the parable of the sower, this parable is meant to further emphasize how the man received the word of God ...  will the faith grow ... or will it fall on deaf ears?

The one who sows the good seed symbolizes Jesus and the Church, the field represents the world, the good seed or the wheat are those obedient children who listen to Jesus' teachings, and the weeds or tares are the children who preferred to ignore and has given the word a cold shoulder, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil ... who sowed weeds in order to corrupt the minds of the people and the Church teachings.

Most plants only produce several hundred seeds, but weeds are a "rare avis".  One single weed can produce anywhere from 10,000 to over 100,000 seeds. With these odds. it is just like playing the lotto ... it is easy to see how weeds can quickly overtake your garden, your mind, and your soul ... if left untreated.

To our readers who are clueless about what we are saying here ... here is the meaning of our LIFE's WEEDS. They are those uninvited visitors who gate-crashed into our lives (emotions, feelings, thoughts, and deeds) and have crept into us without even knocking at the door.  Before we knew it they have full throttle and choked us to death.

Weeds and Life's weeds for that matter are unwanted because they are not a good influence in our garden, in our being, and in our soul. Weeds rob water and nutrients from your plants ... in the same as life's weeds make a stunted growth in us. Some weeds are so vigorous in their growth habits they can choke and shade the whole field ... in the same way the life weeds shadow and darkens your faith and the TRUTH.

In his story, Jesus said that we shouldn't worry about pulling up the weeds that grow around us. If we do, we may do more harm than good. He suggests that we leave the weeds for God to take care of - and concentrate on doing what he wants us to do which is producing good fruit.  

We have to do what we must to let the good seed of His Word grow in our hearts and bear fruit in our lives. So, if we see the weeds and the tares in our midst... we should not shake like a leaf or break out in cold sweat.  God wants the wheat and the weeds to grow together ... as He wants good and bad people to blend together in one bowl like a fruit salad ... just as he wants truth, happiness, and virtue to collide with lies, pain, and sin. The Lord does not want to eliminate the enemy right away ... He wants us to know them ... learn from them in order to become a better person.

The harvest time in this parable refers to the end of the world when Jesus will return and judge the living and the dead, At that time, the righteous will be separated from the unrighteous, just as the wheat is separated from the tares. This day is Judgment Day.

The harvest workers are the angels. Collecting the weeds and tying them and placing them in a fiery furnace to be burned are vivid visuals of hell. And the wheat being placed in the barn ... the way it was described only mean one thing ... heaven.

In summary, the parable is about a farmer who plants seeds and can do nothing about the weeds ... until harvest time. Once the seed of the word of God is sown ... only time will tell how the person's faith will grow and populate.

The Parable of the Weeds

 

Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.  But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.  When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

“‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.

“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them.  Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”
