** On its most basic level, "This Land Is Your Land" is a song about inclusion and equality—the American ideal broken down into simple, eloquent language and set to a melody you memorize on first listen. The underlying message, repeated throughout the song, makes the heart swell: "This land was made for you and me."

The Black Lives Matter movement has been changing the world, and also reminding us of our history.
The history of Black people in France is very different from that of Black people in the US, where the movement started – as well as in other countries. But unfortunately, prejudice and racism exist here, as well.

WHAT MATTHEW 25:35-40
REALLY MEANS :
Written by Calvin Fox
Saturday, 13 December 2014
Again and again, I hear [in sermons and read in books and articles, eg the one about Pope Francis in the Dec 2 issue of Christianity Today] that the Gospel calls us to feed all the hungry, clothe all the naked, and visit all the sick and oppressed. In fact, doing that is living the Gospel
Those who do such acts of charity, we are told, whether they know it or not, are doing it for Christ because He lives in the poor and downtrodden- in all of them. The primary, go-to text in Scriptu ... read more What do I think is going on? (1 of X) 3 y
Most of the problems is that people do not reason or investigate the situation before them and just jump upon the next passing popular bus! Popular has never been a very reliable way or method to answer or help with your personal needs! Stop, Look and Listen will serve you better than "they said" or what some popular pole shows! Believe it!
Most of what the world finds and follows is based upon needs and or generally some popularized ideas!
Why?
The main reason is many people are not well versed on the Truth; even when it is right before them!
Most people are shallow minded , or not educated enough to see the whole problem much less that possible solutions.

Ecclesiastes 4:6, without mentioning a specific worker that Solomon may have observed, presents us with a more balanced approach that we should strive for. Putting it simply, Solomon calls for contentment. One commentator calls this a picture of an “integrated” man; today, we might call him “balanced.”

Hundreds of scientists had worked on mRNA vaccines for decades before the coronavirus pandemic brought a breakthrough.

In late 1987, Robert Malone performed a landmark experiment. He mixed strands of messenger RNA with droplets of fat, to create a kind of molecular stew. Human cells bathed in this genetic gumbo absorbed the mRNA, and began producing proteins from it1.

At the age of 24, Brother Lawrence joined the Order of Discalced Carmelites in Paris, taking the religious name ”Lawrence of the Resurrection”.
He spent the rest of his life with this order, dying on 12 February 1691. During his time as a friar, he was much preoccupied with the cultivating a keen sensitivity to the presence of God in everyday life.

French is the closest language to English today! More than a third of English is French-derived! Sorry folks Spanish is not even as close. but that is not the key or most important reason.
Plus As with "mayday" (from venez m'aider, "come help me"), the urgency signal pan-pan derives from French. In French, a panne [pan] is a breakdown, such as a mechanical failure. In English, it is sometimes pronounced as /pɑːn/ PAHN and sometimes as /pæn/ PAN. MAYDAY calls are used for life-threatening emergencies. Pan-Pan calls (pronounced "pahn-pahn") are used for urgent situations that are not life-threatening such as your pleasure craft is broken down, out of gas, or lost in fog. While Convention requires the word be repeated three times in a row during the initial emergency declaration ("Mayday mayday mayday") to prevent it being mistaken for some similar-sounding phrase under noisy conditions, and to distinguish an actual mayday call from a message about a mayday call. **
A three-letter backronym, "possible assistance needed" or "pay attention now" derives from pan. Maritime and aeronautical radio communications course...

What really makes the difference is that you should learn to seek the true meaning of your existence and ever so brief life!
Nowadays we are blessed to have a larger Grand view of our life upon this earth! Yet throughout history, humans have sought to find peace and the root Love of God in their existence thru out history!
Most of us have failed miserly at coming anywhere near living a balanced and satisfactory life!
