St. Philaret the Merciful 
Dear Faithful of Saints Peter and Paul, 
The blessing of the Holy Trinity be upon you!

Wonderful news for our future Parish Hall!
I just received an email from Craig Abraham, Chairman of our Diocese Executive Committee.  He writes: 
...the Executive Committee of DOWAMA, has selected St Peter's and Paul Orthodox Church in Topeka, KS to receive funding from the Mission Fund as well as the Bishop Basil Endowment Fund. The amount you will be receiving will be $100,000.00 from the Mission Fund in DOWAMA and $40,000.00 from the Bishop Basil Endowment Fund. The funding will come in two payments; the first payment will come from the Mission Fund from our treasurer Jeff Massad the second portion has been requested from the Archdioceses and we are waiting on an approval from them.
Glory to Jesus Christ!  Please join me in giving thanks to God on receiving this grant.  This will help us reach our goal of raising $500,000.00 before we break ground and contribute to the total estimated cost of the Parish Hall being between $1.5 and $1.75 million dollars.

Lack of iodine

Dr. Gundry argues that while Himalayan salt can be used occasionally, it should not replace standard table salt because it lacks iodine, which is essential for thyroid function. He suggests that the "trendy" salts like Himalayan pink salt do not provide the necessary health benefits and are often marketed with exaggerated claims, such as the "pink salt trick" for weight loss, which he debunks. For regular consumption, he advises using a salt that contains iodine. 

• Iodine is crucial: Dr. Gundry highlights that Himalayan salt lacks iodine, a mineral often missing in the diets of many Americans and crucial for proper thyroid function. 
• Limited health benefits: He states that "trendy" salts like Himalayan pink salt do not have the health benefits people are led to believe and are not a replacement for iodized salt. 
• Misleading claims: He is critical of exaggerated marketing, particularly the "pink salt trick" for weight loss, and points out that adding salt to water can cause bloating rather than reduce it. 
• Recommendation: Dr. Gundry recommends using an iodized salt for regular consumption to ensure adequate iodine intake. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6]

🚨Ask yourself why this happened?

Biden was using the autopen by Day 5 and they needed 3 of them? Why?

Autopen use surged in 2022, and emails show he wasn't aware of the pardons.

Something is very wrong!!

Waffles

Waffles were invented in Medieval Europe, with their origins dating back to the 9th or 10th century in what is now France and Belgium. These early versions were simple, flat cakes made of grain and water, cooked between two metal plates called "gaufriers" over an open fire. Over time, the designs on the irons became more complex, and the batter evolved to include things like honey and spices. 

• Ancient roots: The concept of cooking a flat cake between two grids over a fire is believed to have originated with the ancient Greeks. 
• Medieval development: In Medieval Europe, these flat cakes were called "wafers" and spread throughout the continent. The Dutch and Belgians were particularly influential in their evolution. 
• Modernization: As waffle irons became more intricate, the patterns became more defined. The word "waffle" itself came from the Dutch word "wafel," which English speakers adopted in the early 1700s. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Subject: Bad Idea

 

Notice: -----This message was sent by an external sender-----

 

Five reasons commonly cited by opponents, particularly Kansas law enforcement and some medical groups, for not approving medical marijuana in the state are:

  1. Public Safety Concerns (Impaired Driving): Opponents argue that legalizing medical marijuana could lead to an increase in individuals driving under the influence of cannabis, posing a greater risk to public safety through impaired coordination and slower reaction times.
  2. Increased Crime and Organized Activity: The Kansas Attorney General's office and KBI have stated that legalizing marijuana, even for medical purposes, could invite organized crime and black-market activity into the state, as well as increase the need for law enforcement resources and equipment (like new K-9 units).
  3. Potential for Broader Recreational Use and Abuse: Concerns exist that a medical marijuana program could be a "slippery slope" or "red-herring" leading to full recreational legalization in the future, which opponents believe would cause increased abuse, particularly among young adults and veterans, and a lower public perception of harm.
  4. Lack of FDA Approval and Insufficient Research: Many medical professionals and law enforcement groups argue that marijuana has not undergone the rigorous clinical trials required for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, which ensures safety, efficacy, and standardized dosing. Currently, it remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law, which opponents cite as a reason to question its medical legitimacy.
  5. Negative Health and Social Effects: Opponents point to potential adverse health consequences associated with marijuana use, including links to mental health issues like psychosis and depression, respiratory problems from smoking, the risk of addiction, and a negative impact on cognitive function and workplace performance. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
