He believed in Christ as redeemed of all people.

I trust in God and believe in His care

I do not think that it is meant offensively or taken that way

Your comment below on Nov. 17, 2019, in answer to Mira's previous observation and question intrigues me.

What kind of snakes did the animal handling sessions involve?

The first subheading, Life Is Not Fair!, configures as miller property a mill, a donkey and a cat.

Did the miller dwelling go to whoever got the mill?

Thank you!

The adverb desormais appears like such a strange appellation for person, place or thing! In fact, I ask myself: Why desormais? Why not dorénavant?

Both adverbs associate in my mind with promises or threats!

Most Americans also associate henceforth with more formal, legal settings. Otherwise, from now on attracts us over henceforth.

The first paragraph to the first subheading, Receiving the spirit, advises us that "Paul tells of how the Spirit kept him away from journeying to Asia, then the name of an area of modern Turkey."

Why did the Holy Spirit not want St. Paul in Asia?

Thank you for your comment below on Jan. 21, 2022, in answer to my previous observation and questions.

Jewish people believe in a Messiah as redeemer of Jewish people even as Christians believe in Jesus Christ as redeemer of all peoples.

Did St. Paul follow Jesus Christ as redeemer of Jewish peoples within the all-peoples designation or as redeemer of all peoples without sorting them into Christian, Jewish, non-Christian, non-Jewish designations?

Thank you for your comment Feb. 7, 2020, in answer to my previous, same-day question.

The Cornish immigrants to Mineral Point, Wisconsin, made tin mining efficiently, safely lucrative there.

Might the amusing saying "The definition of a mine is a hole with a Cornishman in it" that you mention below matter badly or nicely to Cornish people? In other words, would it be taken as complimentary or as insulting?

Your comment below exactly two years ago -- ! ;-D -- on May 6, 2022, comes to mind as I look again at your wizzlies such as this one.

That comment indicated that "I would rather have plain water than a coffee of any variety."

Is that "plain water" from a bottle or from the tap?

This question owes its origin to the 2018 film El angel, about Argentina's and South America's longest-serving -- 51-plus years as of 2024! -- inmate. Carlitos pulls off an escape that puts him in a friend's house, where he relishes a long, tap-water drink.

I was told never to take tap water whenever I was outside the United States.

Which would be true: tap-water as drinkable or as non-drinkable in the British Isles?

The Nathan Pacheco-sung version of my favoritest Be Thou My Vision accounts among my favoritest interpretations for specific dedication to you and Maureen and your family and to Veronica and her husband and their family because of the strength of his voice.

Perhaps -- ;-D -- that strength gets heard, picked up in the spiritual West of the De Dannan and relayed to all you as the miraculous care that God and the Holy Family must have toward you and your wife and your family and to Veronica and her husband and their family.

The second sentence to the last subheading, Conclusion, alerts us that "Swans are fiercely protected in Ireland and Britain where they are considered to be the property of The Queen."

Are the swans royal property of the monarchy in general or of Queen Elizabeth II in particular?

In the latter case, to whom do they belong with the latter's death?

The third paragraph to the sixth subheading, Police Sgt Henson on Ellen's statement, appears critical.

But how does one find about the last sentence in "On the Saturday morning before he [Thomas] died, he called her [Ellen] into the room and said, “I have done this to myself. I put the arsenic in the kettle when it was boiling on the fire. I done it once before. I put it in the pitcher but my heart misgave me and I threw it away. I have done it because I heard something at Boston that I could not bear”?

The introductory paragraph advises us that "When Charles Perrault wrote Puss in Boots in 1696, he couldn't imagine that we would still love this fairy tale about a cunning cat who helps his master, a poor miller's son, climb the social ladder. Perrault included numerous allusions to the then-existing state in society, ironically exposing the cruel facts of being a non-privileged human with zero chances to join the nobility, no matter how capable one could be."

Is there such a happening as someone low on the socio-economic totem pole becoming a royal?

The only example that I know is not really of someone low on the socio-economic totem pole.

It's King Henri IV (Dec. 13, 1553-May 14, 1610) of France -- the only monarch whose reputation knew such popular love and respect that it kindled the only representations and statues not disfigured or removed during the French Revolution -- even as he only looked low socio-economically for having been raised by peasants per his mother Queen Jeanne III of Navarre's (Nov.16, 1528-June 9, 1572) request.

Thankyou. At a time in my life when medics have been teaching me to walk properly again I need support.
