The 5th Day of Christmas:
- December 29: Five Gold Rings
The first Five Books of the Old Testament, known as the Torah or the Pentateuch:
1) Genesis, 2) Exodus, 3) Leviticus, 4)Numbers, and 5) Deuteronomy,
which gives the history of humanity's sinful failure and God's response of grace in the creation of a people to be a light to the world.
12 symbols of Christmas (on this, the fifth Day of Christmas):
5. Bell:
The bell rings out to guide lost sheep back to the fold, signifying that all are precious in the eyes of the Lord. Jesus is our shepherd and He laid down His life for us so that we may spend eternity with Him in heaven. He is calling us to follow Him through His Word. Are you going to listen?
"If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?" Matthew 18:12
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." John 10:11
The 12 Birds of Christmas:
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me Five Gold Rings
With a house full of birds, the recipient of these Christmas gifts may have been relieved to receive something that didn’t fly, flap, or peck. However, it’s not certain whether the gold rings should be interpreted literally.
If we continue with the medieval banqueting theme, then they are most likely to be common, or ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) which were introduced to England from China in the Middle Ages.
Pheasant is still a popular game bird eaten today and thanks to the colorful plumage of the cock, was served as a surprise dish, or subtlety, at medieval aristocratic banquets. It was also apparently the ideal food for the dainty stomachs of the young, the old, the ill, and the upper classes, but was thought to be bad for manual laborers who could only digest coarse food.
Another theory suggests that the gold rings are ‘goldspinks’, an old word for goldfinch. However, Mirth and Mischief includes an illustration that clearly depicts the rings as jewelry.
John 14:27
Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.

If you could solve any unsolved mystery what would you want to solve?
Starting the New Year with Ina Garten's ricotta cheese recipe. I will let it sit in the cheese cloth overnight to make sure I get a nice, thick creamy ricotta cheese for my New Year cannolis.
What are you making for New Years?
For those of you who remember this...time to be looked into again.
What the fuck is going on in Minnesota...
Text from this X Post...
Now that we're all aware that medical fraud is a multi-billion dollar industry in Minnesota, can we get some answers about Rep. Melissa Hortman's murder?
Melissa Hortman is the only Democrat to vote against healthcare for illegals. She killed the bill.
Hortman and her husband were murdered soon after this vote.
Her killer was appointed by Tim Walz. The killer's wife worked for Tim Walz. The killer said Tim Walz ordered the murder in his confession letter. The killer named Tim Walz multiple times in his arraignment. Her killer had 'No Kings' flyers in his car. The guy clearly had a screw loose - but has anyone asked Tim Walz a question about this connection on the record?
Has there been an investigation?
Dark things are happening in Minnesota, man.
Lesbian firefighters to the rescue. They want to rescue ladies from burning buildings and convert them to lesbianism. I don't know how they feel about men in difficult situations ? Hopefully they don't hate men.
Women wear the hijab like it's a joke. It's voluntary slavery. It's like black people escaping slavery to voluntarily walk right back into it.
