The Bible story of David and Goliath mentions the Israelites being outmatched by the Philistines and the giant Goliath.

Only a shepherd David, armed with a sling and five smooth stones, is willing to challenge Goliath. With a single shot, he fells the giant, and the Philistines fled. Talk about a modern-day story of #David & # Goliath #ukraine #russia

On George Washington’s Birthday, sometimes called President Day, City Images looks at the way our POTUS preferred to pray.

Washington's Birthday became a federal holiday back in 1879. Nearly one hundred years later in 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which moved several federal holidays to Mondays and established Washington's Birthday as the third Monday in February. At that same time, it was recommended but not adopted that the holiday be renamed Presidents Day, to celebrate Lincoln's birthday as well.

On earth, we worship in various ways and many faiths. From tribal beliefs to organized religions. Science proves to be our best option.

Alternative facts are not truths in the eyes of our judicial system. In court, we swear a solemn oath: to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. This shall and will be done.

I want to share a very personal moment with all and have decided that the best practice is to say that  I must confess in public.

Therefore from now on and evermore, I will look in the mirror before correcting others’ mistakes. The wise words for his flock from The Holy Father.
