Bay, I will be praying for your son: that he will have a quick, uneventful recovery. He's gonna be sore in places he didn't even know he had for a long time to come. And, I'll pray for your tornado riders, and YOU as you help them to ride the tornado.
Funny you should say tornado….. that’s what they call me! LOL

This Is Who’s Buying Your Social Media Data​

PC Magazine reported:

When you share something on social media, you might have a bigger audience than you think.

There’s a general rule that if you’re not paying for something, you’re the product. Social networking sites and messenger services are free and very profitable (Facebook makes $86 billion a year in ad revenue), and it’s your data that’s for sale.

ClearVPN looked at who’s watching what you post: It analyzed the policies of social networking sites and messenger services regarding data collection, storing, and sharing.

And, babies much older than her are torn to shreds, and tossed in the trash, for the sake of convenience. Yes, Creal, she is truly a miracle. You are blessed. When I think of the American baby holocaust, it makes me weep with sadness. It also makes me wildly angry. Our nation does not deserve God's blessing. Even so, Lord Jesus, come.
I've waited a long time to reply to your post LG. Each time I read it, tears well up in my eyes. I thought/prayed about how I might reply, but only sadness overtakes my heart. It's not because of your reply though, but it's because of my love for childern. So I'll just put my faith in God Almighty and see how he replies, that's, all I can do.

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

Sorry to bring sadness to you, Creal. I volunteered at a pregnancy crisis center for years. And, it was tough. I worked there until I simply couldn't take it any more. Burned out. I vacillate between horrific anger, and weeping over it. Same with me following the hidden from sight details about what is going on in our country. MonkeyWerks is truly an eye opener. Now, in addition to the children that are being trafficked through the border, there are planes making daily trips to/from Central America. The children who are arriving are not doing so without money being paid to coyotes and the cartels. And they are suffering horrific atrocities at the hands of those who are being paid to transport them. Where are those children going? If this is not a definition of child trafficking, then what is? The US government is engaged in the largest child trafficking activity in the history of the world. But, there is some good news, and that is why I continue with MonkeyWerks: Every time there is a child/sex trafficking arrest that makes public news, there is an immediate uptick of contracted flights going to Guantanamo Bay. I do believe that those traffickers are being sent to stand trial. I only pray that they are not able to use a "get out of jail free" card and buy their way out of prison.

The bottom line for me is this: All of this evil, in addition to the other signs of the times points very decidedly to the fact that the days are nearly complete. Even Jesus does not know the day or the hour. But, he stands ready for God's word. And, daily, I say: Even so, Lord Jesus, come.

How big is your pond? Is it a dug pond, in the ground, or is it a plastic lined affair? In many areas, it's illegal to have goldfish outdoors b/c of the risk of them getting into natural waterways and naturalizing. They could easily get established. My barrel is covered, and has small drain holes so it can never overflow. If there was any possibility of them getting out, I would not keep them. Goldfish can survive the winter any where the water does not freeze completely.
There's no chance of them getting into natural waterways. It's a dug pond with a rubber pond liner. It does freeze over in the winter, and I know there are critters that hibernate at the bottom. The goldfish may just get eaten by the muscovy ducklings.

Goldfish would be a great ducky treat. If other critters hibernate there for the winter, I'm guessing that gold fish would also. If there are plants there, or other means of hiding from the adult fish... if the pond is big enough and water quality decent, the gold fish just might breed.
