Our Half-Millionth Comment: Beautiful!

I intentionally made sure that nobody was paying attention to our approaching half-millionth (500,000) comment, because I really did not want there to be conscious gaming of it. I wanted it to be as RANDOM as possible. I wanted GOD to decide the post – not us.

Only days later, when I was sure that we had past it, did I even think about going back to find Q Tree No. 500,000 – and I was too busy to do it then, so I just put it off. UNTIL NOW.

It was on Steve’s Saturday, May 16 open thread, entitled 2020·05·16 KMAG Daily Thread

Here is the comment:

Sheeple Report from NY – Was at an outdoor nursery buying flowers and every single person was masked up. Out in the fresh air and sunshine. I wore nothing and no one said a word. Maybe people will start to think ‘hey maybe I don’t need this mask today.’

I would surely have said something complimentary (even if only under my breath).

They are called Rain Lilies in S GA – they pop up on country roadsides and in fields after a rain.

They all will have white around their mouth and nose and the rest is brown .

Personally, I was prepared to rationalize whatever post happened to be “the one”, as some kind of validation of “whatever” it might have been, as a worthy object of our attention in some small way.

Maybe it would be Q. Maybe it would be Trump. Maybe it would be us FIGHTING, and our sin pointed out in judgment.

NOPE. It was NONE of those things.

God’s natural beauty.

Enjoy the show!!!

Luke 12

Do Not Worry

22Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear. 23For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap; they have no storehouse or barn, yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than the birds!

25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 26So if you cannot do such a small thing, why do you worry about the rest?

27Consider how the lilies grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these. 28If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith!

29And do not be concerned about what you will eat or drink. Do not worry about it. 30For the Gentiles of the world strive after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31But seek His kingdom, and these things will be added unto you.

Treasures in Heaven

32Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. 33Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide yourselves with purses that will not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. 34For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Quarter Millionth (Moon Distance) Post

The Moon’s distance from Earth varies, but it it generally WITHIN a quarter of a million miles. Here is the “technical stuff” behind “quarter million”. And one of the best pictorial demonstrations I have yet seen, of why “super moon” is actually a thing. Lunar distance (LD or {\textstyle \Delta _{\oplus L}}), also called Earth–Moon distance, Earth–Moon characteristic distance, or distance …

You can see that I made Wheatie a promise that I would have a special post about the 100,00th comment, but we never did. However, now that this rumored discussion was finally located, it WILL be remembered not only now, but when we get to ONE MILLION!!! So HANG ON!!! 😀
