• 2 colors for day and night
• 4 suits for the 4 seasons and 13 weeks per season.
• Twelve court cards representing the 12 months.
• If we add each of the cards (ace + ace + ace + ace + two + two + three + seven + eight … and etc) of the game we will get 364.
• The card game is an agricultural calendar that told us about the weeks and the seasons.
• With each new season, it was King’s week, followed by Queen’s week, Jack’s, and so on until AS week changed seasons and we started over with a new color.
• Jokers were used in leap years.
• Now you know the full story!

Cigarette Smokers residue can take years and years to leach out of walls, carpeting, A/C system, and air conditioning ducts — if it ever comes out. You might think your nose, that Ol’ stink-o-meter would know right away that a smoker has been at work leaving that smell all over your soon-to-be home, but that may not be true. If you smell the strong smell of Febreze, ammonia, bleach or even fresh baking cookies (sneaky) can disguise the wicked stench. UNTIL, One humid afternoon soon after the sale, the rank aroma of spent cigarettes could start oozing toward your unsuspecting family nostrils. Be proactive and beat the butts, you may never fully be rid of the odor. Make sure you’re buying a non-smoking home.

The best idea would be for a customer not to smoke in their homes but that is not going to happen, so we must deal with it.

Every person has a “Personal Code” they live by… what’s yours?

The US Population is about 340,000,000 and in 6 months the number of deaths has been 150,000. The number of deaths as a percent of the population is 0.04411 %, compared to the number of cancer cases diagnosed in 2019 (1,762,450) and 607,000 deaths.  

A very well-orchestrated plan seems to have happened in the United States. 

1.  Scare people with a virus, force them to wear masks and place them in quarantine.

2.  Count the number of dead every second of every day, in every News Headline. By the way, ninety-nine and eight-tenths of the people who get the virus, recover.  About one to two tenths of one percent who get the virus, die.  Most of them have other medical problems.  Did you catch that ?  Less than 1/2 of a percent die.

3.  Close businesses = 35,000,000+ instantly unemployed.

4.  Remove entertainment and prohibit Recreation; Closing parks, gyms, bars, restaurants, sports. Let people become desperate.

5.  No dating. No touching. Isolate people. Dehumanize them.

6.  Close Temples and Churches, prohibit worship. Demonstrations and riots? OK.

7. Create a vacuum and let depression, anxiety, hopelessness and desperation set in.

8.  Then… ignite hatred and civil unrest, creating Civil War.

9.  Empty the prisons because of the virus and fill the streets with criminals.

10.  Send in Antifa to vandalize property, as if they are freedom fighters. Undermine the law, Riot, Loot and Attack all Law Enforcement, but tell the government to order a stand-down.

11.  Then… Defund Law Enforcement and abolish Police. 

12.  Are we all being played by those who want to destroy America ?

This is how you destroy a nation from within, and in very short order. 

History not often reported or leaked to the ticket holders. I hope this helps you; it opened my eyes, to better understand when and why the public’s respect for the NFL organization started to crumble.

* In 2012 the NFL had an issue with Tim Tebow kneeling before each game to pray, they also had an issue with Tebow wearing John 3:16 as part of his eye-black to avoid glare and made him take it off.

* In 2013 the NFL fined Brandon Marshall for wearing green cleats to raise awareness for people with mental health disorders. 

* In 2014 Robert Griffin III (RG3) entered a post-game press conference wearing a shirt that said “Know Jesus Know Peace” but was forced to turn it inside out by an NFL uniform inspector before speaking at the podium.

* In 2015 DeAngelo Williams was fined for wearing “Find the Cure “eye black for breast cancer awareness.

* In 2015 William Gay was fined for wearing purple cleats to raise awareness for domestic violence. (Not that the NFL has a domestic violence problem).

*In 2016 the NFL prevented the Dallas Cowboys from wearing a decal on their helmet in honor of 5 Dallas Police officers killed in the line of duty.

* In 2016 the NFL threatened to fine players who wanted to wear cleats to commemorate the 15th anniversary of 9/11.

So tell me again how the NFL supports free speech and expression?

It seems quite clear based on these facts that the NFL has taken a position against any action by NFL players demonstrating RESPECT for any issue: For God, social causes such as mental health, cancer, domestic violence, for cops killed arbitrarily, for being cops, or for the Memory of 9/11.

BUT they will allow demonstrations of DISRESPECT for our National Flag, our National Anthem, for America, and for the American People, if it will help mollify a particular Group and its supporters. That is who and what the NFL now has shown itself to be.

Honor our military; too many of whom have come home with the American Flag draped over their coffin.

They’ll never have another $1.00 of my money, The make MILLIONS be are discriminated against. PU$$Y!

Do I have to shine any shoes in order to join the Rewards Program, or do I have to be black? Wendy’s restaurant hates white people so it’s a valid question. I can’t eat at my old favorite restaurant being afraid of what they do to white people’s food?

In the midst of the pandemic, there are still reasons to celebrate!

Yours in the faith,

One night the 96-year-old draws a bath. She puts one foot in a pauses. She yells down the stairs, “Was I getting in or out of the bath?” The 94-year-old yells back, “I don’t know. I’ll come up and see.” She starts up the stairs and pauses. Then she yells out, “Was I going up the stairs or down?” The 92-year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea and listening to her
sisters. She shakes her head and says, “I sure hope I never get that forgetful.” She knocks on wood for good measure. She then replies, “I’ll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who’s at the door.”

Some actually understand this… LOL
