Love the statistics. And of course, the cartoon, too. I love hugs!
Amen to take refuge in the Lord then a man!
I like Michel’s answer…
Hope your Sunday is going well. Ang
God in His goodness provides all the graces we need to conduct our lives. What a different world this would be if we made HIM the CENTER of our lives!!

Hey Randy, hope your weekend was special…very interesting stats…thanks for coming by…and yeah, I talk to my mom every day…she is 80 and spry as a sparrow! I couldn’t put the moon phase thingy up, because I have the Liberty Call Girl banner…but I come to look at it on your site!
Your posts are always so enriching and your map amazingly full. I live in a “small town” of half of a million people called Ivanovo. It’s 200 or so miles northwest, I believe, from Moscow.
We are huggers in our family. My husband always has liked to say: One can never have too many hugs. We have reaped the benefits, many times over. Our adult sons & daughter are wonderful huggers!
Have a “huggy” week! 
They are some very interesting facts on the bible Randy. When it comes to prophecy how do you know which ones have been fulfilled and which ones haven’t by the way?
