NEWSDUMP ALERT: THAILAND, CAMBODIA AGREE TO 'IMMEDIATE' CEASEFIRE



Thailand and Cambodia issued a joint statement Saturday pledging a ceasefire following the latest round of border clashes.


The most recent fighting broke out when an earlier truce US President Donald Trump took credit for broke down...


                          News Agencies-The New Arab



Well to the music from the collection of three thousand songs this tune exemplifying the "Sound of Philadelphia" in the 1970's...



                                                               "LOVE TRAIN"-O'JAYS

                                   "GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN"-NAT KING COLE





"Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day, to save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray..."


Some of the lyrics from that classic Christmas carol that say a lot about the ultimate real meaning of Christmas I sat down and heard this message in church last Sunday...



"I believe that Love is one of the most maligned words in the English language.  It's overused and abused.  

We say things like 'I love my hot dog'...

And the problem is we use the word "Love" in these statements and we're consuming. We're getting from or even devouring these objects of our so-called Love.

If we love our hot dog what do we do we devour it.  In the same breath while we're eating our hot dog and saying we love our hot dog we say we love our wives.

And I hope they mean different things.

Unfortunately for many of us they do not mean different things..."

PASTOR JEFF SMITH STARTING AT 55 MINUTES INTO THE VIDEO LINKED BELOW...




   ADVENT LOVE-PASTOR JEFF SMITH (MESSAGE BEGINS AT 53:05 INTO VIDEO)



"But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law"

                                             GALATIANS 5:22-23 ESV BIBLE




Sometimes when I go into work I see a man praying on a rug nearby and to be honest with you I don't feel like interrupting him or pushing my trash cart into him (I'm the janitor you know).


But in Israel this is not the case a man running his All Terrain Vehicle into a man praying on his rug...



                                              Yossi Eli "X" (Video Embed)



The man driving the ATV identified as a military reservist and there's more to the story...



"Settler reservist rams ATV into praying Palestinian in West Bank; IDF launches probe Perpetrator who's now had weapon confiscated earlier fired gun inside village..."-Times of Israel



They say the perp has been placed under house arrest as well.



And more music Contemporary Christian Music Michele Pillar involved in the early years of "Jesus Music" she performed on her own in the 1980's...



                                             "MY HEART IS A STONE"-MICHELE PILLAR




                                     "UNITED WE STAND"-THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN





                                                                   "FERNANDO"-ABBA






And now the "China War Update" Carl Douglas "Ku Fu Fighting"....





Developments on many fronts during Newsdump Christmas Week.


In the economic warfare with China sanctions imposed by China on US defense contractors and US defense executives...



"China Sanctions 20 US Firms Over Taiwan Arms Sales"-AFP France-The Defense Post



The spin is that the sanctioned companies including a branch of Boeing and Northrop Grumman do 'little or no business in China'.


But do these sanctioned US defense companies rely on Chinese suppliers for minerals that get used in building advanced weapons in the United States?



China also imposing tariffs on Europe's dairy industry in retaliation for European tariffs on Chinese electric cars...



"China announces high tariffs on European dairy products"-NOS Netherlands (Translation Prompt)




THE STORY OF FRANCE AND THE YELLOW VESTS THIS WEEKEND IS DOMINATED BY THE PASSING OF BRIGITTE BARDOT AT THE AGE OF 91.


SOME MATERIAL ON BARDOT AND THE YELLOW VESTS, HER POLITICS ADDED TO THIS WEEK'S POST OF NEWS RELATED TO FRANCE...


France Yellow Vests Week 370*Algeria Condemns Colonial Rule Amid Tensions With France*Budget Extended Into New Year*"Birth Leave" Delayed*Protest March*Brigitte Bardot And The Yellow Vests*




And as I reflect on my 'experiences' watching Brigitte Bardot on the screens I am thankful that my past is something that I can put behind.



"Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past.


See I am doing a new thing!   Now it springs up, do you not perceive it?




I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in wastelands"


                              ISAIAH 43:18-19 NIV BIBLE




The media universe going through major changes and Dr. Billy Graham spoke way back in 1979 to the "Washington Press Club"



"There's no section of the world that is immune to political and economic upheaval.

Jeremiah the Prophet speaks of the time when people will say 'peace, peace when there is no peace'.

Now I know that the issues are very complex and like most of you I don't have all the answers.

But I believe the continuing rampant escalation of arms in our world is not merely a political issue it's a moral issue...We now have the weapons to make the whole world an Auschwitz"
