What this retarded strain of Calvinism (which Calvin would scoff at) neglects to mention is that every song or hymn in Scripture was sung or played first, and only then recorded in Scripture. This very obvious point completely undermines the silly and prideful exclusive psalmodists.

I forgive thy treason,
I redeem thy fall,
For iron, cold iron,
Must be master of men all.

Dryads, Ents, and Sylvans in Scripture?
Classical mythology has long spoken of living, sentient tree spirits: Dryads, Hamadryads, and Sylvans. C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkein pick up on this theme in Narnia and LOTR. Is there any Scriptural basis for these notions? I would argue yes.
The rebellion of Absalom in 2 Sam. 18:7-9 gives a few indications of this:
And the men of Israel were defeated there by the servants of David, and the loss there was great on that day, twenty thousand men. The battle spread over the face of all the country, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword. And Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak, and his head caught fast in the oak, and he was suspended between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him went on.
From here, Joab kills Absalom in defiance of David's orders (I would argue rightly). David mourns Absalom's death until Joab talks sense into him (ch. 19). This would indicate the trees were on the right side, though perhaps not unanimously.

St. Patricks day
"I knew not the true God . . . The Lord opened the understanding of my unbelief . . . I was not worthy . . . Love of God and fear of Him increased more and more . . . By the help of God so it came to pass . . . Because of His indwelling Spirit who hath worked in me until this day . . . Let who will laugh and insult . . . Though I be rude in all things . . . I baptize so many thousands of men . . . the Lord ordained clergy everywhere by means of my mediocrity . . . The Lord is mighty to grant to me afterward to be myself spent for your souls."
- The Confession of St. Patrick

For the Reformed Sanhedrin who object against Lent, St. Bullinger in the 2nd Helvetic Confession wrote:
The fast of Lent is attested by antiquity but not at all in the writings of the apostles. Therefore it ought not, and cannot, be imposed on the faithful. It is certain that formerly there were various forms and customs of fasting... Socrates, the historian, says: "Because no ancient text is found concerning this matter, I think the apostles left this to every man's own judgment, that every one might do what is good without
fear or constraint" (Hist. eccles. V.22, 40).
The Reformed position is merely against binding the conscience to rituals not explicitly commanded in Scripture, not that such practices are not good, appropriate, godly, and beneficial.

A blessed Quadragesima Sunday to all (first Sunday in Lent). Our Savior's death and resurrection approaches.

If you sell all your belongings and use the cash to buy drugs, the GDP goes up. This is what Capitalism does to entire nations.

People bemoaning the lower deportation numbers under Trump vs Biden have a very legitimate point.
However, most deportations occur via apprehensions at the border. Since border crossings are down to near zero, of course deportations will be lower.
This highlights the main issue: deporting migrants already here will take more strategic steps.
1) Use volunteers to aid deportations
2) Stop remittances by either taxation or banking regulations
3) Cut off all Federal funding to state and local gov'ts which give benefits to illegals

We can pray for Pope Francis as a rebellious and sinful man -- pray that he repents before his last breath.
We can also pray that Rome is reformed in a more conservative and biblically faithful direction even if she doesn't fully repent.
This is part of praying for our enemies.

Eustace made a step toward Caspian with both hands held out, but then drew back with a startled expression.
"Look here I say. It's all very well but aren't you -- I mean didn't you....?
"Oh don't be such an ass," said Caspian.
"But hasn't he, er, died?" Eustace asked, looking at Aslan.
"Yes," said the Lion, in a very quiet voice (almost, Jill thought, as if he were laughing). "He has died. Most people have, you know. Even I have. There are very few who haven't."
-- Dialogue from The Silver Chair

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech,
and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language,
where their voice is not heard.
-- King David, in Psalm 19:1-3
