Took an electric radiator out of the closet that someone has set out to be thrown away, unscrewed the control panel, fixed the broken knob, and turned it on.

It’s good to be grateful for what one has already.

Took out my AC for the season, took it apart and cleaned the inside to make all the machinery nice and shiny.

My mother is so controlling and when I don’t do what she wants me to do she seeks retribution. I have not been in contact with her for a while, so it is impossible for me to have done what do you want me to do because I don’t know all the details of what she is thinking. Thanksgiving is approaching and I fear she will poison me. I am going to find an excuse to not come over Thanksgiving. I love her but it is too dangerous.

I myself rely on good relationships, quality sleep and overall health, avoiding caffeine altogether, Keeping stress short for only 30 sec. to 3 min., resting that much in between, 4-7-8 breathing (there is a lot that can be done with breathing), and 100% cold shower, no longer than 3 minutes.

It seems like social distancing is the essence of personal protection.

Do not own others.
Don’t covet or lust of others.
Forgive.

Do not be owned.
Don’t idolize others.
Be not of the world.

Cancer is caused by radiation, caused by the hole in the ozone layer, caused by chlorofluorocarbons.

Cancer is caused by chemicals.

This is what that monster looks like.

The vapors from drying hydrogen peroxide are as corrosive to the lungs as bleach. Getting pulmonary burns makes one vulnerable to dying if they catch the virus.

Even low levels of hydrogen peroxide, with long term exposure, is harmful because it will cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

With the widespread panic among commoners about the pandemic, people are using hydrogen peroxide more often as a disinfectant. It is being advertised and used commonly in public places.

People seem to think hydrogen peroxide safe, maybe because the elements in it are more familiar, even though the molecule is highly reactive. Some places even emit hydrogen peroxide gas into the air to make it “safer,” by way of destroying airborne virus. That thinking is flawed in the same way as the idea of “injecting bleach.“

The half-life of hydrogen peroxide in the air is 24 hours, so it takes a good number of days for hydrogen peroxide vapor an indoor air spaces to break down, except in places like hospitals where the is air exchange is to the outside instead of the standard, more efficient, closed loop recirculation. The vapors can build up to harmful levels inside when. The vapors can build up to harmful levels inside be cause of this poor ventilation.

Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide is odorless, unlike bleach, so people may be getting very badly burned and not even know it.

Thinking the office is closed and no one’s allowed in because someone tested positive for Covid. I’m sneaking in anyway.

I am posting this if anyone would like to read, as it seems very relevant this topic and it is a very nice part of the Bible.

Acts 12
1
It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them.
2
He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword.
3
When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
4
After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.
5
So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.
6
The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance.
7
Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists.
8
Then the angel said to him, "Put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me," the angel told him.
9
Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision.
10
They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.
11
Then Peter came to himself and said, "Now I know without a doubt that the Lord sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were anticipating."
12
When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying.
13
Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer the door.
14
When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, "Peter is at the door!"
15
"You're out of your mind," they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, "It must be his angel."
16
But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished.
17
Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. "Tell James and the brothers about this," he said, and then he left for another place.
18
In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter.
19
After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed. Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there a while.
20
He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon; they now joined together and sought an audience with him. Having secured the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king's country for their food supply.
21
On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people.
22
They shouted, "This is the voice of a god, not of a man."
23
Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
24
But the word of God continued to increase and spread.
25
When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission, they returned from [1] Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark.

God has no physical body. He has a spiritual body, he is a spirit. Spirit is a form of life that is much higher than ours, physical - 1 Corinthians 15:44 (New World Translation): "If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one."

Man cannot see God and stay alive, Exodus 33:20 (New World Translation): "... no man can see me and live."

There are many things that cannot be seen but that exist.

Air - we do not see it, but we know that it exists because we see its action;

gravity - we do not see it, but when we drop something, we see its manifestation;

smells - we don't see them, but our nose feels them.

We often believe in the existence of something that cannot be seen if there is a reason for it.

If a person cannot see God, this does not mean that he does not exist.

Look around you - the universe, our earth, air, water, plants, animals and ourselves - everything was created by the power and hand of God!
 



Conversely, some physical things can be seen but are hard to believe even in plain sight. I, for example, when I am looking at the magnificence of the blue ridge mountains, find it unbelievable that they are so large and magnificent, even when I’m staring right at them.

Well organized militia

I suppose if the government was more harm than good, and the majority of the states were against it, that it could be overthrown. Though there could be better things, I like the US government.

I suspect the second amendment is about something more important than just bearing arms, but more about tyranny in the government, whatever that looks like. Could America lose the second amendment in a backhanded way by modernization?

I am not against keeping and bearing guns.

But what is the Best way one can protect against tyranny?

The southern states tried to succeed from the union in the Civil War, and that did not work either. Although it’s sort of worked. The confederacy still sort of exist in some places.

To summarize from the Bible, one should not worry about what their parents think of them, though they should take reasonable actions necessary to honor their wishes.
