"Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven."
Matthew 7:21
"Surely, there is at this day a confederacy of evil, marshaling its hosts from all parts of the world, organizing itself, taking its measures, enclosing the Church of Christ as in a net, and preparing the way for a general Apostasy from it. This Apostasy, and all its tokens and instruments, are of the Evil One, and savour of death.
Far be it from any of us to be of those simple ones who are taken in that snare which is circling around us. Far be it from us to be seduced with the fair promises in which Satan is sure to hide his poison. Do you think he is so unskillful in his craft, as to ask you openly and plainly to join him in his warfare against the Truth? No; he offers you baits to tempt you. He promises you trade and wealth; he promises you a remission of taxes; he promises you reform.
This is the way in which he conceals from you the kind of work to which he is putting you. He prompts you what to say, and then listens to you, and praises you, and encourages you. He bids you mount aloft. He shows you how to become as gods.
Then he laughs and jokes with you, and gets intimate with you; he takes your hand, and gets his fingers between yours, and grasps them, and then you are his."
J. H.Newman, The Times of AntiChrist, 1890
"Love is faith alive and in motion; living love. It is for the person to fully and continually immerse themselves in the love of their Creator, and to thereafter embrace Him and love Him, not in some purposeless and unproductive abstraction that bears no fruit, but by loving and upholding Him in all of His creation, and in His creatures as He made them. Love is the meaning and the measure of our being, of being truly and completely human."
Jesse, Love Is the Meaning and the Measure, 25 October 2016
I have a late doctor's appointment today, as part of a close post-operative review during an important time of healing. My cornea is quite cloudy, and they are treating it with a more powerful steroid.
So here are the charts as they are at the close, without additional commentary..
We will be seeing the CPI and PPI this week as well as the big stock option expiration on Friday.
Have a pleasant evening.
