in God’s favor] are the makers and
maintainers of peace, for they will
[express His character and] be called
the sons of God.”

I’m surprised Big Pharma hasn’t hoodwink the governments into giving them billions for a war vaccine.

You’re so welcome, David. So true. I’m hearing there are actually less wars in the world right now but we have these damn big ones again. Earth is not the smartest planet for some odd reason❣️😉🥹

The smartest planet is Venus, where
women come from. It’s no coincidence
that men are from Mars, named after the
ancient Roman God of war. Venus was
the Goddess of love 💕 and beauty 😍🕶️

Made me think of Dylan’s Masters of War, which is a bit harsh, I suppose.

If my post has reminded you of a Dylan
masterpiece I must be getting something

I was once told that truth without love
can be brutal, just as love without truth
is just too emotional.

Whenever mankind forgets the

It’s total madness … on both sides.
Only one side has better weapons.
It’s an ancient family feud over
