I never thought the day would come when a rick roll would bring me to reflect on God...

"...Never gonna give you up, Never gonna let you down, Never gonna run around and desert you, Never gonna make you cry, Never gonna say goodbye, Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you..."

God isn't one to give up on us, isn't one to abandon us, though we may stray away from Him still He calls us back to Him.

"1 God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church. To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son as Redeemer and Savior. In his Son and through him, he invites men to become, in the Holy Spirit, his adopted children and thus heirs of his blessed life." -Paragraph 1 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church

"13 Shout for joy, you heavens; earth, exult! Mountains, break into joyful cries! For Yahweh has consoled his people, is taking pity on his afflicted ones.

14 Zion was saying, 'Yahweh has abandoned me, the Lord has forgotten me.'

15 Can a woman forget her baby at the breast, feel no pity for the child she has borne? Even if these were to forget, I shall not forget you.

16 Look, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands, your ramparts are ever before me.

17 Your rebuilders are hurrying, your destroyers and despoilers will soon go away." Isaiah 49:13-17

You just have to keep answering issues in the hope they give you the desired effect.

I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been a large scale movement supporting the beatification of Brother Walfrid. Football loyalties aside (I'm a Man City fan) the charity work that man did is legendary.

Sorry I missed this.

Taxation is also affected by economic output, so if that decreases, the tax base is smaller, so the government has to increase taxes for the same amount of revenue. You want to be careful about that happening. Sometimes they say they will cut taxes but actually increase them.

Yeah, and I have past mistakes regarding issues which lowers taxes but the results are sometimes the opposite. It's kinda hard to find issues which lowers your taxes and get a few negative results in this game. Then again, I'm not surprised this game consists of many liberals who are anti-market or likes more taxation.

Also, on another note. Some WA regulations can put your tax at risk as well, and it can be very painful to see your tax rates magically rise the next day.

"Policy removed: Theocracy"

This is why I should have reread the issue...

Good and Gentle God,
We pray in gratitude for our mothers and for all the women of history who have joined with you in the wonder of bringing forth new life. You who became human through a woman, grant to all mothers the courage they need to face the uncertain future that life with children always brings.

Give them the strength to live and to be loved in return, not perfectly, but humanly. Give them the faithful support of family and friends as they care for the physical and spiritual growth of their children. Give them joy and delight in their children to sustain them through the trials of motherhood. Most of all, give them the wisdom to turn to you for help when they need it most.

Amen.

Lord God how wonderful are you! Holy is Your Name, so Holy that no man has ever known it nor spoken it. Holy indeed is Your Name! In Your infinite love You have made Creation, and You Yourself are separate from it. Just as a piece of art is a window into the heart of the artist so too is Your art, Creation, a window to Your heart. How beautiful it is, this Creation You have made! Lord You have filled the sky by day with the sun and by night with the stars and the moon! Oh, how wonderful are those stars, to see them bright and shining, to have a telescope and see one oh so far away! Truly however beautiful the wonders of space are, they are but a drop in an ocean of beauty. Lord to see Your face is a sight most beautiful, the thought of it makes my heart leap as high as to Heaven! How beautiful is the moon, a light to guide us in darkness, oh how it so loves to imitate You O Lord! The sun which does bring light to the world and drives out darkness, oh how it does love to mimic you. The rain brings water to the land that we may live, Lord you bring Living Water that we many live. The clouds do tell a story of your beauty. To feel warmth after walking in the cold snow, to enter a warm building and have a cup of tea, O Lord how it is like being with You during my troubles, my sorrows do melt away and my heart does thaw. To seek shelter from the hail is like seeking protection from temptation. The lightning which crosses the sky shows but a small, small fraction of Your might! The rainbow does remind me of Your love! The water I sip does remind me that You nourish my soul, my soul would shrivel up, like a plant shrivels up without water, if I was without you O Lord! 

Lord how beautiful is Your Creation! It does bring such glory to You! Lord let me join in this wonderful orchestra of praise and forever worship You, Lord God.

Amen.

Horrible news out of Afghanistan, at least 40 dead mostly children in a terror attack on an all-girls school.

Pray for the victims.

And that's a personal record time for getting back a policy I wanted! Back to having theocracy.

German priests defy Vatican to bless gay couples - BBC

Priests in around 100 Catholic churches in Germany are offering blessings to same-sex couples from Monday.
The Love Wins movement emerged after the Catholic Church said in March that God "cannot bless sin".
"Couples who take part should receive the blessing that God wants to give them - without any secrecy," the group wrote earlier.

This is very sad that the German Church has done this, to defy the Vatican and go against tradition, scripture and the authority of the magisterium. This greatly increases the chance that the Church in Germany will fall into schism and lead to a break away. One can only pray that the Church will take action and reaffirm the teachings of Christ, by rejecting these ideologies which have gripped Europe as a whole and rebuke these people who have decided that the are now their own gods.

Tell me, how do you know god is a man?

Is this a question about the gender of God or the Incarnation?
