There are many wonderful culinary creations in America. This "Monte Cristo" (that a friend ordered for lunch) is NOT one of them. It's a deep-fried cheese and ham sandwich, dusted with powdered sugar on top, and served with raspberry preserves. 😱

I received an email from a US airlines that flight reductions will start tomorrow. Flight cancellations will be notified as of today. I'm scheduled to fly next week. 😬
A prayer for this situation from Matthew 6 “...do not be anxious about your life..." or whether your will fly or not.

Persecution of the Armenian church is intensifying, as civil society groups condemn “gross violations of fundamental human rights.”

Steve Bezner brings attention to #Israel government targeted lobbying of churches in US. "I’m really worried is it sets a really dangerous precedent. If we allow a foreign government to request and get permission to lobby our churches, what might happen next?"

#Windows10 support has ended. Instead of moving to #Windows11, I switched to #Linux. Linux is free and privacy respecting, and comes with LibreOffice - a complete, free and very capable office suite.
