Do I watch something new?
Or do I delve in to the world of Middle Earth and go on an adventure with a Hobbit named Frodo and his companion Samwise the Brave into Mordor to destroy the ONE ring that was forged by the Dark Lord in the fires of Mount Doom?
K guess LOTR it is, again

I love when my magic ADHD skills kick in. Those things I've been putting off for months miraculously get done in a few hours.

I just wanted to thank everyone for wishing me a 250th birthday. Yall didn't have to do all that; the fireworks were a bit much. I know...I look good for 250. I swear the coffee and rage is where the credit is owed. Had to switch after we dumped all the tea. #merica #birthday

anyone else experience that weird post-book depression where you finish a masterpiece and now every other book on your shelf just looks boring and unappealing? how long does this phase usually last?

The world has lost the capability of having civil conversations on difficult topics.

“We will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.”
Ephesians 4:14

@PatriciaHeaton 100% agree! Sad they choose the path of destruction instead of humbly forgiving one another and privately working through their issues.

We are witnessing this first-hand!

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

So far as American democracy becomes or remains Catholic and Christian, that democracy will remain democratic. In so far as it does not, it will become wildly and wickedly undemocratic.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

“Free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.” -C.S. Lewis

The Vikings had an initiative tradition where a child had to participate in a raid to become a full man.

As they say, it takes a pillage to raise a child.

You have enemies?
Good.
That means you stood up for something in your life.

@iconawrites Referencing The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe!👏👏👏

[Merica @MericaClaireP]

I am a firm believer in antiquing!
There is something special about providing a new home for a piece of history. Saving something that was once cherished by someone else. A built in story that by giving it a home you can continue to tell its tale and become part of its journey.

The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history. #GeorgeOrwell

[Merica @MericaClaireP]

@frmlykisro I respect a fellow history enthusiast!

[Merica @MericaClaireP]

I'm the type of person who stops to read the historical marker plaques.🤓
