I remember the past
as a prediction of the future cast.
I will appraise the value of your method
with respect for the results accepted.
I assess the product of your production
in conjunction with the assumption of function.
I offer my hands to you where you stand.
My soul thirsts for reflective recognition like an arid land.
Producer of production, hear my prayer.
Answer me near the corner of your square.
Honor my request with the rightness of your care.
Wisdom rescued those who served her.
When the man fled his brother's wrath he became a blur.
She guided him on a straight path.
He was shown how to do the math.
He was given knowledge of holy things.
He saw the kingdom of God with practical imagining.
She prospered him in the management of his labor
to increase fruit for him to savor.

Do not condemn me with absolute judgement.
No one living will bear the punishment
or the bludgeon by reduction.
The destruction of an argument may leave those who argued it better off.
We act for standards to improve past performance as a redemptive cost.
Let me find my error
so I can correct or avoid consequent terror.
Make haste to answer me.
My spirit has faltered as you can see.
Do not turn your face from my achievement
or I will fall into a state of bereavement.
Let me hear your love rise with the dawn.
My care is like a doe for her fawn.
You are the path to which I am drawn.
I lift my soul to divine phenomenon.
I run to you like a deluge.
Please allow me to take refuge.
Teach me to learn how to provide a service.
Your Spirit will guide me to find my purpose.
Revive me for your Name's sake
that I may escape even the trouble that I make.
Bring the plans of my foes to naught
that the love of your goodness may be sought.

143 Domine, exaudi
Dominated, answer
5 I remember the time past;
I muse upon all your deeds;
I consider the works of your hands.
6 I spread out my hands to you;
my soul gasps to you like a thirsty land.
1 Lord, hear my prayer,
and in your faithfulness heed my supplications;
answer me in your righteousness.
2 Enter not into judgment with your servant,
for in your sight shall no one living be justified.
7 O Lord, make haste to answer me; my spirit fails me;
do not hide your face from me
or I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.
8 Let me hear of your loving-kindness in the morning,
for I put my trust in you;
show me the road that I must walk,
for I lift up my soul to you.
9 Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord,
for I flee to you for refuge.
10 Teach me to do what pleases you, for you are my God;
let your good Spirit lead me on level ground.
11 Revive me, O Lord, for your Name's sake;
for your righteousness' sake, bring me out of trouble.
(12 Of your goodness, destroy my enemies
and bring all my foes to naught,
for truly I am your servant.)

Once Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming. He answered, 'The kingdom of God is not coming with things that can be observed. They will not say, "Look, here it is!" or "There it is!" The kingdom of God is among you in fact.

Priesthood
George Freeman Bragg
b. 1.25.1863, Warrenton, NC
d. 3.12.1940, Baltimore, MD
George Freeman Bragg was an African-American priest, journalist and historian. He was ordained as the twelfth African American priest in the Episcopal Church of the United States. He worked for interracial harmony both within and outside of his church.
Warrenton, North Carolina
Warrenton is a small town near the northern border of North Carolina. It was founded in 1779. It was named for Dr. Joseph Warren, a patriot and soldier who fell at the Battle of Bunker Hill during the American Revolutionary War,
It became one of the wealthiest towns in the North Carolina from 1840 to 1860. It was the trading center for an area that was rich with tobacco and cotton plantations.
The town became a busy center of commerce when the railroad was built to improve shipping of the commodities of the tobacco and cotton fields to market in the 1850's.
George Freeman Bragg
George was born into slavery in Warrenton, North Carolina on January 25, 1863 during the American Civil War. He was baptised at Emmanuel Episcopal Church.
His carpenter father was also named George Freeman Bragg. His seamstress mother was Mary. They moved their family to Petersburg, Virginia as the war ended to live with his grandmother Caroline Wiley Cain Bragg. She was a devout Episcopalian and former slave of an Episcopal priest.
Young George delivered newspapers and established relationships with the city's leaders as a child.
He was expelled for "insufficient humility" six months after Bragg began his theological studies at the Bishop Payne Divinity School. He turned his attention to politics and was appointed a page in the House of Delegates in Richmond in 1881-82.
He founded the weekly Petersburg Lancet on July 1, 1882. It was dedicated to civil rights issues. He changed the paper's name to the Afro-American Churchman in February 1886. It became The Church Advocate later.
A change in the rector at St. Stephens, Petersburg, also allowed Bragg to resume his theological studies. He graduated in 1886.
He married the daughter of another prominent Petersburg black family, Nellie Hill, on September 20, 1887. The couple ultimately had two sons and two daughters.
Bragg was ordained a deacon on January 12, 1887. He was assigned as vicar to Holy Innocents Episcopal Church, a mission in Norfolk. He successfully challenged a rule that black deacons wait at least five years before ordination as priests.
Bishop Francis McNeece Whittle ordained Bragg as a priest at Saint Luke's Episcopal Church in Norfolk on December 19, 1888. Fr. George became the twelfth black Episcopal priest. He expanded his congregation into the fully self-supporting Grace Episcopal Church during the next 5 years.
He accepted a call in 1891 to become rector in Baltimore, MD. He became the pastor for St. James Episcopal Church. It was the oldest black Episcopal congregation in the South. The church had been founded in 1824. He served for 49 years until his death.
The struggling congregation of 63 became self-supporting again under Bragg's leadership. They tripled in size and built a new structure on Park Avenue and Preston Streets by 1901. It was among the largest black Episcopal parishes in the country by 1924. The church had over 500 parishioners.
Bragg promoted social activism both within and outside the church. He helped Booker T. Washington found the Committee of Twelve in 1902. They fought to prevent disenfranchisement of blacks in Maryland.
He later joined W. E. B. DuBois as one of the founders of the Niagara Movement. This was a precursor of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He continued publishing the monthly Church Advocate, wrote several books and worked to develop black ministers. He fostered more than 20 vocations.
He fought against restricting the church's mission work to overseas activities. He argued that the denomination also needed to foster African American congregations.
He served as secretary and historiographer of the Conference of Church Workers among Colored People. The group lobbied for the election and consecration of black bishops among other things. He was interviewed twice, but was never selected for that promotion.
Fr. George Bragg died on March 12, 1940 after a short hospitalization at Baltimore's Providence Hospital. The Baltimore Sun eulogized his quiet manner, dignity and work for interracial harmony.

Deuteronomy 18:16
This is what you requested of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said: ‘If I hear the voice of the Lord my God any more, or ever again see this great fire, I will die.’
1 Corinth. 8:1
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds...
Mark 1:22
...he taught them as one having authority...
Was the Mt. Horeb experience a prophecy about the death of prophecy?
Deut.18:15-16;19-20
http://bible.oremus.org/?passage=Deuteronomy+18:15-20
The Lord your God will raise a prophet like me from among your own people. You shall heed such a prophet. This is what you requested of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said: ‘If I hear the voice of the Lord my God any more, or ever again see this great fire, I will die.’
Then the Lord replied to me:...'Anyone who does not heed the words that the prophet shall speak in my name, I myself will hold accountable. But any prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, or who presumes to speak in my name a word that I have not commanded the prophet to speak—that prophet shall die.’
========================
Life in the wilderness is harsh, but nomads learn to live by avoiding death.
The Deuteronomist wrote history for the cult of Yhwh. He used the 'J' source to write. The J source was derived from the desert experience. It is supported by the movement to reduce the number of gods that people were expected to know to be regarded as pious. It sought to reduce the number of stories about immoral behavior.
The Elohim source was drawn from the experience of civilization. People had built shelters. Wandering from location to location had been reduced. Agriculture was developed. Farmers acquired a place in food production for society. It was proposed that there was a God of gods who directed the order for society. These sources pointed to monotheism from different perspectives.
The J source reminds us that there was a time when life was lived without settlement. The E source points to a time when law for society will be just for all. Justice is the guiding force for law. Murder is the greatest offense against the law with respect for the right to life.
Plato wrote 'the Timaeus' and 'the Republic' when Athenian society was in transition to the Spartan ascendancy. Democracy was defined as dictatorship. Dictatorship was defined as the province of the philosopher king. The destructiveness of the elements was the force that was to be used to keep people from rebellion.
This was a time when the Greeks saw the Persians as a threat to their culture. Athenian democracy was played down to favor a warrior culture that could defeat the Persian threat. Consensus of opinion for cultural development with education was made subordinate to winning war.
The kingdom of Judah had become a province of Persia. They celebrated the preservation of religious custom. They were a kingdom in a united kingdom. Insurrection from Greek sources was a threat to their security.
The Greeks assimilated Persian practices after Alexander's conquest. The Romans assimilated Greek and Persian practices after they had established their empire. The cruelty and violence of war became a support for severity in punishment and austerity in economics for society in general.
Wars of aggression are the greatest offense to peace. Peace is natural. War is not. Stories that claim that the other nation started a war when they didn't are the worst case of fake news.
Fake news that promotes war is not for justice. It is not protected as free speech by the first amendment of the US Constitution. This right protects a person from punishment for protesting political policy.
Freedom of assembly is also protected. People can meet to determine a consensus for communication. Those who pay for fake news and also pay to punish those who protest it, offend liberty with justice in our society.
War cannot be the rule of law for society. Defense is. A standing military and law enforcement are necessary to protect life. Violent aggression is the threat to our civility. The destructiveness of the elements is an enemy which requires the pooling of resources to combat.
Death is the end of personal life for whoever it was that died. It is a reminder that the prediction of the end of time for society has a value in preparing for the end of life to a person's body.
The loss of life represents the end of the species symbolically and emotionally. Each loss then presents a reminder to value life while it is being lived. There is the sense that if life is lost while living it to the best of your ability, the life was worth living. It was lived well. It was a good life.
Live well then. Don't support murder or genocide. The support diminishes the quality of life for society.

A large number of churches were built in Brighton in the latter half of the 19th century. This was due to the efforts of Reverend Arthur Douglas Wagner, a prominent figure in the Anglo-Catholic movement of the time.
He is thought to have spent his entire fortune on building a number of churches. This included St. Bartholomew's, an imposing red brick building, built to the size and proportions of the biblical ark.
Another notable Victorian church that was built is the Parish Church of St. Michael and All Angels. The building has stained glass windows by the pre-Raphaelites, William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones, Ford Madox Brown and Philip Webb.
Otto Pfenninger developed a method of color photography in Brighton in the early 20th century.
Ryle was born in Brighton, England in 1900. He grew up in an environment of learning. His father was a doctor, a generalist who had interests in philosophy and astronomy. He passed an impressive library on to his children.
Gilbert was educated at Brighton College. He went up to Queen's College at Oxford to study Classics in 1919 but was quickly drawn to Philosophy.
He graduated with a "triple first." He was awarded first-class honors in classical honor moderations (1921), literae humaniores (1923) and politics, philosophy and economics (1924). He was appointed as lecturer in philosophy at Christ Church, Oxford in 1925. A year later, he became a Student (Fellow) and tutor at Christ Church, where he remained until 1940.
He was commissioned in the Welsh Guards in World War II. He was a capable linguist who was recruited into intelligence work. He had been promoted to the rank of Major by the end of the war. He returned to Oxford and was elected Waynflete Professor of Metaphysical Philosophy and Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford.
He published his principal work, The Concept of Mind in 1949. He was President of the Aristotelian Society from 1945 to 1946 and editor of the philosophical journal Mind from 1947 to 1971.
He was a representative of the generation of British ordinary language philosophers who shared Wittgenstein's approach to philosophical problems. He is principally known for his critique of Cartesian dualism for which he coined the phrase "the ghost in the machine." Some of his ideas in the philosophy of mind have been referred to as "behaviourist."

The primary industry for Williamstown was agriculture. Dairy farming, sheep herding and wool production were the most prominent forms. Sawmills and gristmills operated by water power at the streams.
Larger mills were added with the Industrial Revolution. The Walley Mill and Williamstown Manufacturing Company (Station Mill) were included. Both produced textiles. The A. Loop & Company (Water Street Mill) produced twine.
Tourists arrived with the opening of the railroad. Several inns and hotels were established. The Idlewild Hotel and Greylock Hotel were leading examples.
E. Parmelee Prentice and his wife Alta, the daughter of John D. Rockefeller, created Mount Hope Farm in the late 1930's and 1940's. It had a mansion designed by James Gamble Rogers. It was one of the outstanding experimental farms in the country. Today, it belongs to Williams College, which remains the largest employer in town

The community is named for local settler John Veech's Indian Hill Stock Farm. It was one of the largest horse farms in Kentucky for a time. Veech held over 300 acres (120 ha) as early as 1805. His family continued to own most of the local land into the 20th century. The Georgian-style Veech house still stands at 125 Indian Hills Trail. The farm's springhouse is at 119 Arrowhead Road.
An 1877 Louisville Courier-Journal article claims the name was adopted from the hundreds of Indians camped at the site at the time of Louisville's founding in 1778. The naming of developments after Indians was generally fashionable in the late-19th century though.
Louisville proposed a sewer line for Indian Hills in the 1980's. This time the proposal didn't include annexation. Indian Hills rejected the plan by a 4-to-1 margin in 1988. Extending a line through the community proved to be the only economical way to provide access to communities further east who had voted in favor of the service.
Legal challenges delayed construction until 1992, but a line was then constructed through the city without connecting to any of the local houses. A local resident was sued by both his neighbors and the county to deal with his overflowing septic tank in 1995. He and the septic tank companies claimed the problem could not be fixed. The only option was connection to the city sewer system.
Jennifer Shrader Lawrence was born on August 15, 1990 in Indian Hills, Kentucky. She was born to Gary, a construction worker, and Karen (née Koch), a summer camp manager. She has two older brothers, Ben and Blaine. Her mother brought her up to be "tough" like them. Karen did not allow her daughter to play with other girls in preschool as she deemed her "too rough" with them.
Jennifer was educated at the Kammerer Middle School in Louisville. She did not enjoy her childhood due to hyperactivity and social anxiety. She considered herself a misfit among her peers. She has said that her anxieties vanished when she performed on stage. Acting gave her a sense of accomplishment.
Her school activities included cheerleading, softball, field hockey and basketball. She played on a boys' team that was coached by her father. She was fond of horseback riding and frequently visited a local horse farm. She injured jer tailbone as a result of being thrown from a horse.
She had her first acting assignment at age nine when she played the role of a prostitute in a church play that was based on the Book of Jonah. She continued to take parts in church plays and school musicals for the next few years. She was 14 and on a family vacation to New York City when she was spotted on the street by a talent scout who arranged for her to audition for talent agents.
She moved to Los Angeles and began her acting career by playing guest roles in television shows. Her first major role came as a main cast member on the sitcom The Bill Engvall Show (2007–2009).
She made her film debut in a supporting role in Garden Party (2008) and had her breakthrough playing a poverty-stricken teenager in the independent drama Winter's Bone (2010). She achieved wider recognition for starring as the mutant Mystique in X-Men: First Class (2011). She reprised the role in a later installment of the series.
Her fame continued to grow with her starring role as Katniss Everdeen in the Hunger Games film series (2012–2015). The series established her as the highest-grossing action heroine of all time.
Jennifer Lawrence is an American actress. Her films have grossed over $5.7 billion. She was the highest-paid actress in the world in 2015 and 2016. She appeared in Time's 100 most influential people in 2013 and in the Forbes Celebrity 100 in 2014 and 2016.

The Act on the National Flag and Anthem was established by the Japanese Diet in Tokyo on August 9, 1999. It was proposed that the nisshoki flag and the Kimigayo anthem be designated officially for Japan. The emblem of the rising sun had been the unofficial flag since 1870.
There were suggestions to legislate the hinomaru and Kimigayo as the official symbols of Japan after Japan's defeat in World War II. A law to establish the hinomaru and Kimigayo as official in 1974 failed in the Diet due to the opposition of the Japan Teachers Union that insists they have a connection with Japanese militarism.
The law was passed after a vote in both houses of the Diet. It was considered one of the most controversial laws passed by the Diet in the 1990s. The debate surrounding the law also revealed a split in the leadership of the opposition Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) and the unity of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and coalition partners.
The passage of the law was met with mixed reactions. Some Japanese hailed the passage. Others felt that it was a shift toward restoring nationalistic feelings and culture. It was passed in time for the anniversary of Emperor Akihito's enthronement.
Akihito is the current Emperor of Japan. He succeeded to the Chrysanthemum Throne upon the death of his father Hirohito (Emperor Shōwa) on 7 January 1989. He is the 125th member of the world's oldest reigning dynasty according to Japan's traditional order of succession.
The Japanese government announced in December 2017 that Akihito would abdicate on 30 April 2019. The abdication will make him the first Japanese Emperor to do so in over two centuries. This marks the end of the Heisei period. It will precipitate numerous festivities leading up to the accession of his successor, Crown Prince Naruhito.
The enthronement ceremony will likely happen on 22 October of that year. Akihito's younger son, the Prince Fumihito, is expected to become his brother's heir presumptive.
The Diet held the first Question Time on 10 November 1999. A question time occurs when members of the parliament ask questions of government ministers (including the prime minister), which they are obliged to answer. It usually occurs daily while parliament is sitting, though it can be cancelled in exceptional circumstances. Question time originated in the Westminster system of the United Kingdom. It occurs in other countries, mostly Commonwealth countries, who use the system.
Kaga Kaede was born on November 30, 1999 in Tokyo, Japan. She is a Japanese pop singer under Hello! Project as a 13th generation member of Morning Musume. She first joined Hello! Project as a member of Hello Pro Kenshuusei in November 2012. She was formally introduced at the Hello Pro Kenshuusei December 2012 recital concert on December 9, 2012.
Kaga was appointed as a tourism ambassador for Kaga Onsenkyo, a hot springs town in Ishikawa Prefecture which she shares the same kanji of her last name on 19 April 2018. The secretary of the Kaga Onsenkyo Tourism Agency saw a Morning Musume concert and afterwards wrote a tweet wondering if he could get Kaga on a future poster for the onsen last November.
Fans started showing support with the hashtag "#加賀楓"(Kaga Kaede Poster Project). The red T-shirts for the Kaga Onsenkyo sold out at the booth at the Asobu, Kurasu SATOYAMA on March 31 and April 1. The "Kaga Yontohaku 2018" campaign will run from the beginning of June 2018 to the end of March 2019, during which the image of Kaga will appear on posters and brochures.
If she did not become an idol, she would have pursued her childhood dream of becoming a police officer. She had been told she has a strong sense of justice, like a police officer, around other kids. Since she was in a brass band in school, she also wanted to join the police brass band. She practices kendo (martial art sword fighting).
Kaga's father is the vocalist of The King of Metal Slime, a metal band, under the stage name Deb.

Why rejoice in what?
How deep can the world cut?
What conquest is brought home by war?
What fantastic tributes are taken to Rome to store?
Will grace in captivity be bound as Babylon's whore?
You hardened hearts of cruelty born
are blocks or stones, worse than the senseless thorn!
How many times were you compelled
to climb the walls built to foretell
the latest rebellion quelled?
You girded towers and framed window space
with infants in your arms and the day to pace
with patient expectation to see the face
of the latest great Conqueror pass the place
when you saw the last one disappear without a trace.
Have you not made the universal shout
that made the walls tremble to the sound so stout
it made the ground feel like it would bottom out?
Run to your houses. Fall upon your knees.
Pray to end the plague of bees.
Their needs must fight the blight of trees.
The smear campaign is misdirection.
It is a nebulous nobody with no information.
It's a ganglion of neurotic imitations.
Compose each letter in its turn
joined by conflicts you can't help but burn.
This word never existed with a sense anybody can learn.
The confused refuses to suffer for the sins his father refused to commit.
He sits and dreams about twiddling the toes of something worse in which to sit
as a boy-girl of an average pulchritude haunted by the phantoms of his female wit.
Whom has he never seen but composed for himself?
Has he got the breasts of Augustina with the brains of Izabel,
the arms of Venus de Milo with the motherliness of Annabelle
in the eyes of Evelyn where under the brow of Frances dwelt
the knowledge of Helen with the fragrance of which Rose smelt?
This he desires, but despises to say.
The crab moves side to side or backs away.
Either he is not fit for this world
or his flag is not fit for him to unfurl.
There is neither interval nor reward.
What can the pain of development afford?
They lured him with promises
that slipped sideways with ominous losses
into the smeltering swelter of the melting-pot
of vices fated for melting again into naught
unless he can unravel the Gordian knot.
He is not out of it.
He just slipped from the slippery rock to the pit.
Not a yard, an inch or a baited breadth
has the strength or length
for chance to bend.
Luck is not blind. It's unbelievably conceivable
but impossible to predict as retrievable
without the fear of the prearranged perceivable.
We call it blind because we prefer to shut our own eyes
as the crab crawls away from the campaign of lies.
Fire roars past chalk white teeth
with origins from the depth of deep
in the height of the darkest sleep
within the length of the heart's beat.
A crown of horns sits upon his head
made from the bones of the dead
from other dragons he has bred.
Now his own bones groan.
His mind is as slow as his moan.
He lets his head fall down.
His legs are entwined in the flora that is found
to drag him deeper into the ground.
He raises his noble head to sigh
the saddest of the sadness that within him lies
as human eyes try not to cry
while they watch the last dragon die.
He was a mean old cuss,
but there were times that he acted for us.
His scent lingers on
as the form of a flower that has gone
to the glory of a world framed by change
arriving at the side of the mountain range
as the stage for evanescent existence that will not drift away as strange
though intoxicated by the world of shallow dreams arranged as deranged.
Defense of goodness is beauty. Beauty is her prize.
She walks in cloudless climbs to starry skies.
The gaudy day denies the sight
to the particulars of light at night.
All that’s best of dark and bright
are mellowed in her tender sight.
Her eyes meet her aspect in the shine.
One shade more or less in the design
doesn't impair the grace in the curve of lines
that wave in every tress that frames her mind.
Her soft smile lightens the place
where thoughts serenely express grace
as the location for their dwelling-place
in the sweet healthy glow of her face.
The expression of the face accounts for an amount,
but a well made body extends beyond that count.
It is in the joints of her hips and wrists
that expression finds attention in her walk and twists.
The carriage of what she carries
shows the fragrant faith that she ferries.
The flex of her waist and knees
says that lifting strength lies within these.
Her dress does not hide her from the world.
It spins as she dances with twirls that spread her curls.
The strong fresh quality of soft clean cotton
is affirmed anew though it had been forgotten.
The meaning of her movement
is the blooming of woman.
The innocent sprawl of the babe by her bosom
tells the woman that she's human.
The folds and style of dress as we pass in the street
form the contour and content for those we meet.
The swimmer nearly naked in the swimming pool
seen swimming through the transparent shine of cool
lies face up, down or rolling with play as the school
that is the pool silently states that floating is the rule.
The bending forward and backward of rowers in row-boats,
the horseman in his saddle, add rhythm to our chronos.
Girls, women, mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and friends in their respective roles
perform in an enormous chorus for us with their selective or elective goals and tolls.
The group of laborers seated at noon with lunch to eat in their break from labor
have wives, girlfriends and the future to savor along with the flavor of nature.
The female soothing a child, the daughter in the garden or house,
the young man hoeing his row, the bus driver driving past the crowd espoused,
the wrestle of wrestlers, the play of boys out on the vacant lot with the field mouse,
the graduation caps thrown up to embrace love and resistance past the slaughterhouse,
the sweat and grime of the miner's in the mine outside of town,
the upper and under-hold, the march of police and firemen in their uniforms,
the play of muscle shown as toned through clean-setting pants and jackets worn,
the slow return from the fire or disturbance, the pause when the alarm is born
again, then the listening on the alert for reforms to norms
consumed by worms that turn to bore,
the natural, perfect, varied attitudes of the eclectic body electric with the head bent
and the curved neck counting time without rhyme but to rhythm lent
are loved by me. I loosen myself and pass freely by the summer pitched tent.
I am at the breast of beauty to savor the lunch of labor, to swim with the swimmers,
wrestle with wrestlers, mine with the miners, march in line as light shimmers
and shines off the plane of reflected glimmer. Then I pause, listen and count as a winner.
The smiles that win, the tints that glow, so soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
present a mind at peace with what is known as shown, but tells of days in goodness spent
with a heart whose love is innocent!
The dance of herons fight for fun
framed by the beauty of the setting sun.
The soup sits on the table in a pot
just waiting for the ladle to serve it hot.
Weigh the weight of day in the sun's rays.
Praise that which saves your life for the goodness of the way.
Let the design of the divine be divined as blessed.
Let people join together in the test to find the best.
The earth turns to face the burn.
Let this lesson about gravity be learned.
Our planet is one of many.
It is the one we know to have life with plenty.
It orbits around the sun as the center
in the system that allowed us to enter.
Warmth and moisture gave rise to life.
Food and water decrease our strife.
The sun shines bright above the nations.
Leadership helps define our stations.
Who is like the light from on high?
Let this lead direct the reason why.
Wind causes the dust to rise.
The poor give ground to consider size.
A hand out denies the importance of labor.
The management of work is ours to savor.
The elements give something to arrange.
We can cause the world to change.
The past provides one view of time.
It gives us precedence to refine.
The present is a fertile womb.
Sweat anoints the groom assumed.
Do not let your hands grow weak.
The peace of Christ is a cause for speech.
Blessed are you among the best.
Let justice be the quest you press.
Benefit functions for the good.
Do what you can as you should.
113 Laudate, pueri
1 Hallelujah!
Give praise, you servants of the Lord; *
praise the Name of the Lord.
2 Let the Name of the Lord be blessed, *
from this time forth for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun to its going down *
let the Name of the Lord be praised.
4 The Lord is high above all nations, *
and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God, who sits enthroned on high, *
but stoops to behold the heavens and the earth?
6 He takes up the weak out of the dust *
and lifts up the poor from the ashes.
7 He sets them with the princes, *
with the princes of his people.
8 He makes the woman of a childless house *
to be a joyful mother of children.
Zeph.3:16
do not let your hands grow weak.
Col. 3:15
let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful.
Luke 1:48
he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant.
Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed

Huntington is on the north shore of Long Island. It was populated largely by English settlers during the time of the New Amsterdam colony. The town voted in 1660 to become part of Connecticut rather than remain under the authority of the Dutch. It was not until the British gained control of New Amsterdam in 1664 that Huntington became part of the jurisdiction of New York.
British troops used Huntington as their headquarters following the Battle of Long Island during the American Revolutionary War. They remained encamped there until the end of the war.

The Dubhlinn was a small lake used to moor ships. The Poddle connected the lake with the Liffey. This lake was covered during the early 18th century as the city grew. The Dubhlinn lay where the Castle Garden is now located.

Jōdo Shinshū Buddhists established their headquarters in the heavily fortified Ishiyama Hongan-ji in 1496. It was located directly on the site of the old Naniwa Imperial Palace. Oda Nobunaga began a decade-long siege campaign on the temple in 1570. The campaign resulted in the surrender of the monks and the subsequent razing of the temple. Toyotomi Hideyoshi constructed Osaka Castle in its place in 1583.
