Music of the day – Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring

Posted on December 7, 2025 by Stella

Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring Holy wisdom, love most bright

Drawn by Thee our souls aspiring Soar to uncreated light

Word of God, our flesh that fashioned. With the fire of life impassioned. Striving still to truth unknown Soaring, dying round Thy throne.

Through the way where hope is guiding, Hark, what peaceful music rings.

Where the flock in Thee confiding, Drink of joy from deathless springs.

Theirs is beauty’s fairest pleasure, Theirs is wisdom’s holiest treasure. Thou dost ever lead Thine own, In the love of joys unknown.

Music of the day – The Little Drummer Boy

Posted on December 5, 2025 by Stella

Never MY favorite Christmas carol (probably because the year I learned it, our children’s church choir seemed to always sing slightly flat) it is nevertheless a favorite of many. This is, in my opinion, one of the best versions.

Posted on December 4, 2025 by Stella

On December 4, 2025, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned this injunction, allowing Texas to proceed with the 2025 map for the 2026 elections. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton hailed the decision, referring to the map as the “Big Beautiful Map,” a nickname attributed to former President Donald Trump, who supported the redistricting effort as part of a broader national strategy to strengthen Republican representation.

The new map aimed to give Republicans up to five additional U.S. House seats, potentially shifting the delegation from 25–13 in favor of Republicans

Posted on December 4, 2025 by Stella

Law enforcement arrested the suspect Thursday morning in Virginia

FOX NEWS

A suspect who allegedly planted pipe bombs blocks from the U.S. Capitol on January 5, 2021, is now in federal custody after a nearly five-year investigation, law enforcement sources told Fox News Digital on Thursday.

The FBI arrested the suspect, a male living in Virginia, early Thursday morning, the sources said. The man in custody is named Brian Cole, two sources said.

Authorities discovered the two pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic National Committees’ headquarters around the same time that thousands of protesters a few blocks away began to descend on the Capitol over the 2020 election results.
