That iconic photograph of Winston Churchill earned its creator, Yousuf Karsh, just one hundred dollars—and worldwide fame. But behind that image lies a fascinating story. In 1941, Churchill arrived in Ottawa. To commemorate the visit, Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King invited photographer Yousuf Karsh to take a portrait of the guest after his speech to Parliament. Churchill was escorted into a room where Karsh had already set up his camera and lighting. Years later, Karsh recalled that Churchill wasn’t exactly in the best mood—the photo session came as an unwelcome surprise. “A startled Churchill growled, ‘What is this? What is this?’” Karsh remembered. No one answered him. So I stepped forward and said, ‘Sir, I hope I may be fortunate enough to make a portrait worthy of this historic moment.’” Churchill sat down, lit a cigar, and gave the photographer just two minutes. But the smoke made shooting difficult—and the cigar didn’t fit the image Karsh had in mind. “…More
2024-06-13 Reconquest - Do Not Be Deceived | … June 13, 2024 God the Father. Do not be deceived. Dictated in English. NOTE: The footnotes are not dictated by God. They are added by Sister. Sometimes the footnote is to help clarify for the reader Sister’s sense of the meaning of a certain word or idea, and at other times to better convey the sense of God’s tone when He spoke. Further Note from Sister: In these Messages, the use of all caps is a way to denote the importance that is being given to particular words or passages. It does not indicate anger or shouting, but rather “listen children, this is important.” I was surprised at how much He used this “tone” in this writing. Write for My children, who have waited for My Words, for My Light. [smile] My beloved children, your Abba is attentive to your hearts and speaks Words of comfort and consolation to you, who have drawn close to My Heart, who have offered Me your love, your adoration, your listening heart. My children, I need your …More
This autistic young man between 16-18 years old was euthanised in Holland because he was joyless and terribly lonely. Poor,poor boy, instead of adults loving him and helping him, they chose to kill him instead.
Count them. One. Two. Three. By the time the eighth uniform walks out the front door, a mother has already rehearsed her grief more times than any human being should have to. America is at war. The kind of war that swallows entire generations whole. Normandy. Guadalcanal. The skies over Germany. The frozen fields of Belgium. Millions of young men cross oceans and do not return. Across the country, families hang small flags in their windows — blue stars for those serving, gold stars for those lost. Some windows grow heavier by the month. Some families receive folded flags instead of phone calls. Some dinner tables never fill back up. One American household sends eight sons. Eight. The odds are not kind. The math does not favor them. History does not promise them anything. And still, a mother waits. She writes letters she hopes arrive. She listens to radio broadcasts she wishes said nothing. She looks at eight empty chairs and tries to keep believing that empty does not mean gone. Then …More
She is a pagan atheist! Just as well she didn't give a message, she would probably have given a "woke" interpretation to Easter as she did with St. Patrick's Day. She is not fit to be president of anything. She is a disgrace!
Paul White Gold Eagle @PaulGoldEagle THE WORLD'S OLDEST PAINKILLER. Five thousand years before Tylenol. Three thousand years before aspirin. Four thousand years before penicillin. The ancient Egyptians already had a medicine that killed bacteria, blocked pain, healed wounds, and reduced inflammation. They used it so much and valued it so highly that they stockpiled it in their royal tombs. Archaeologists have found myrrh resin in Egyptian burial chambers dated to 3,000 BC, still fragrant after five millennia. The Ebers Papyrus, written around 1,550 BC and considered one of the oldest medical texts in existence, lists myrrh in over 50 separate prescriptions. For infected wounds. For tooth pain. For mouth ulcers. For joint aches. For stomach problems. The Babylonians traded it across the entire ancient world. The ancient Chinese documented it in their medical texts over 2,000 years ago. King Solomon wrote about it in the Song of Solomon. Jesus was offered myrrh mixed with wine as a …More
