Thank you, Joel. Great sentiments on a day to be grateful. Our gathering is down to three as well. Despite the troubles in the world, we have plenty of blessings for which we're thankful. Happy Thanksgiving, with a few thoughts on the matter:

No, but I knew a Jim Beck when I was a teenager; however, he would be in his late 50's now, just like me.

Alas, the wise Greeks were thanking the very same fictional gods created in Babylon, gods renewed and repurposed to serve Rome's transition from empire to church empire. Universal Romanism was the culmination of the most loved gods with perfection in Jesus, Mary, and the Pope. Where Satan is worshiped as God, lording over his empire of servants, where the Pope is the vicar of Jesus, the sole source of salvation to mankind a very profitable ruse. Hard to believe in this age of information humans continue to cling to religion.

Very telling near his demise Alexander he commandeered the Persian title Shah an Shah or King of Kings, the title given to Dowd / David by God. It's not a coincidence the same title Rome gave to their Jesus of NT. Moreover, Asherah the mother of god and queen of the universe was vested in Mary the mother of Jesus. Jesus conceived on Easter (Asherah day), exactly 9 months later on December 25 the savior serving Rome is born.

Happy Thanksgiving
