Then, Job began directly addressing God. “[T[he mountain falls and crumbles away,” he said, “and the rock is removed from its place; the waters wear away the stones; the torrents wash away the soil of the earth; so you destroy the hope of mortals. You prevail forever against them, and they pass away” (15:18-20).


O that my words were written down! O that they were inscribed in a book! O that with an iron pen and with lead they were engraved on a rock forever! For I know that my Redeemer

lives, and that at the last he will stand upon the earth; and after my skin has been thus destroyed, then in 
my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see on my side, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. (19:23-7)

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they who mourn,
for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the land.

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.

Blessed are the clean in heart,
for they will see God. 

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God. 

Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus

Kosciuszko's Advice to a Youth To do honor to your family and yourself and at my recommendation, you must reread what follows every day so that it will be engraved on your memory on which your well being will depend. Rise at four in the summer and six in the winter. Your first thoughts must be directed towards the Supreme Being; worship Him for a few minutes. Set yourself to work with reflection and intelligence, either at your prescribed duty carried out in the most scrupulous manner, or perfect yourself in some science in which you should have true mastery. Avoid lying under any circumstances in your life, but always be frank and loyal and always tell the truth. Never be idle but be sober and frugal even hard on yourself while indulgent to others. Do not be vain nor an egotist (1763 https://www.etymonline.com/word/egoist). Before speaking or answering on something, reflect and consider well in order not to lose your point and say something stupid. Never fail to give due recogniti...

This case from SCOTUS.BLOG is an interesting one for a law scholar. IMHO the Justices will earn their keep writing their decisions on this case.  I hope they decide for the Government here.  In my view Congress in the wake of financial collapse of Wall Street acts in good faith to create oversight and penalties for money traders. It is IMHO the pure design of money traders to invent new ways around the laws Congress makes for their self interest of making money. And therfor Congress acting in The Peoples' behalf to protect The Peoples' 'Happiness' in their hard earned money is well founded.  It is my worry that the present SCOTUS with it's Super Funded Republican backers will side for the Wall Street Hounds and their circumnavigation of Congress' law and not We the People and our at risk 401k's.    CASES  EMERGENCY DOCKET PETITIONS STATISTICS NEWSFEED  ABOUT      PETITIONS OF THE WEEK Another federal agency challenges adverse ruling by 5...
