#concord grapevine

So, yesterday, we saw a huge modern, all-white estate vineyard in Napa, California. Today we have another Napa Valley vineyard in Helena, California, but this one is very different. Actually, the other one was kind of boring, and this one is unique. The carriage house dates back to the 1880s. The main house has 3bds, 2.5ba, and costs a lot less at $3.25M. (The other one is $22M.)

Isn't this nice? A sunroom and pergola with vines.

Clearly, this is a rustic style home with a high vaulted living room ceiling, and a stained glass window.

There's a lofted space above the living room, which is very nice as well.

The large kitchen is light and airy.

This looks like a workroom or office and it has a great fireplace that looks like it was well-used.

Looks like a family room.

The primary bedroom is a good size.

There are about 4.59 acres of property with the vineyard.

But, where the other property was just vineyards, this is where this property gets interesting, b/c it ain't just grapes.

Check it out- it has a cave, b/c this property was also a winery. The cave is protected by heavy wooden doors and iron gates.

This was a serious winery. Look at the bottles and supplies, plus the fermenting equipment.

This is cool.

The fermenting tanks look in pretty good shape.

Remember that this cave dates back to the 1880s. It's ancient.

Look at these delicious grapes. Every fall I wait for the stores to have Concord grapes b/c my grandparents had a huge grapevine and they were so good.

There's a barn on the property, but it looks like there's an apt. above it.

Workshop in the barn.

The main house has a large patio with growing beds.

I'm thinking that this rusted old tractor is art?

Looks like a pond. Maybe for crop irrigation.

The house, on the bottom right, is surrounded by many neighboring vineyards.

As a resident brown thumb, and beginner gardener I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to invest in perennials.

Yes it takes longer for a perennial plant to mature, (about 2 to 3 years if it's in a pot) but you can definitely grow annuals while you wait and won't even notice, I am TELLING you it is so so worth it guys trust me.

You'll have Fruits/nuts/berries/herbs/leafy greens for years to come after one install and very minimal upkeep.

Perennials also tend to be hardier and more forgiving when it comes to beginner gardener's in my experience as well.

My method is to always purchase 1-2 perennial plants On Sale for every 5-8 annuals i plan on growing that year. It may be a little expensive if ur just starting out, so 1 perennial + 3-ish annuals would suffice.

Plants do well when they're companion planted so it saves u time, energy, and pesticides to get recommended combinations.

My first year didnt count, I only planted a solid block of irish potatoes of the same variety. It was a plague of bugs and disease. Don't do that, always get Companion Plant combos.

So let's go over a 4 year garden plan to get an idea, when you know what you're doing.

The 1st year I started with: a blackberry bush kit. The kit had 2 blackberry plants in it, I got it from Sams Club. I planted them in cheap plastic pots.

-a grapevine kit (Red seedless and Concord pair I also from the same Sams club). I didn't know what a mycellium network was so I thought the roots molded and threw them away, I still feel the sting from that waste but i was able to buy a Disease resistant grape variety online and plant it in the same pot. But dont be like me.

-And for my annuals that year I went with a salsa garden combo kit (peppers, cilantro, tomatoes, basil) that I got from Lowes. I harvested the salsa ingredients that whole summer.

-The second year

i bought an Italian plum tree, and for my annuals, I planted a Salad kit.

By that time, the Blackberries were mature and I was able to harvest blackberries for the first time.

This year, the 3rd year I've expanded my kitchen garden to include a salsa garden, and the 3 sisters combo (squash, beans and corn planted in the same place).

The grapevine I planted is now mature and will give me grapes in the late summer.

I'm on my second year of blackberries.

The Plum tree will be ready next year. And I haven't decided on what to plant yet.

The fourth year It will probably be a greek salad combo kit (tomatoes, red onion, basil, parsley, garlic) with a tea garden kit (rosemary, lemon balm, chamomile, lavender, mint). By this time My plum tree will be mature and I will harvest my first year of plums, my third year of blackberries, and my second year of grapes. And for my two new perennials, I will go with two apple trees for $10 each online.

By That Time I will harvest my 3rd year of blackberries, my 2nd year of grapes and my 1st year of italian plums.

So that's how it works!

Grapes, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are cheap and widely available from big box stores during planting season, whereas fruit trees are cheaper and healthier when ordered online outside of planting season but pre-ordered for the next year, in my experience.

(this could be berry bushes, a fruit tree, a nut tree, a fruit vine, or a perennial herb you just have to shop around) They mature faster when you plant it in a pot, and you grow however many annuals you want that growing season.

I'm so focused on the routine spring radishes and summer tomatoes, that two adhd business days (seasons) later and boom

"now I have fresh blackberries this season too."

"Oh what's this? Now I have grapes to go along with this year's harvest"

COCAINE can't beat that high, check your growing zone and buy that f*cking dwarf tree.

🍇 the wonderful world of grapes 🍇 seasonal foods pt. 2 (working with Gaia's bounty and medicines in food-centric herbalism)

Vitis spp. - Concord, Champagne, Sultana, Crimson Seedless, Moon Drop, Valiant, Pinot Noir, and several other varieties (including the rich wild grape varieties)...

Garden: create a whimsical space in your garden with trellises to guide the grapevines

Nourishment: fill your body with their antioxidants (bioflavonoids, polyphenols, & reversatrol) which protect cells from damage, thus protecting the integrity of your skin, eyesight, organ health (eg. heart & brain) + provides anti-inflammatory action (aiding even immunity). They also contain Vitamin A, C, K, Iron, fiber, and more.

Handicraft: utilize the vines to create rustic-style wreaths, chandeliers, baskets, and more to decorate spaces

Gustatory Enjoyment: taste their flavors as a fresh, frozen, roasted, dried (raisins), juiced, or blended; have them alone, in a salad, on a charcuterie board, in a fresh pressed juice/smoothie, in a baked or frozen treat (eg. muffins or sorbet), within breakfast foods (eg. oatmeal), as a fermented preparation (drinking or balsamic vinegars)

Flavor Pairings: rosemary, thyme, peanuts, lime, chocolate, melons, olives, black pepper, vanilla, nutmeg, star anise, plant-based cheese, sea salt, pistachios

Parts: leaves (enjoyed as 'dolmas', salad greens, lacto-fermented, dehydrated chip snacks, tea), fruit, skin (filled with antioxidants), seeds (fatty acid and antioxidant rich/carrier oil source - they're edible!), vines (decoration)

This is such a weird gripe, but I hate posts like this where there's some (invariably unsourced) claim that a given list of plants is invasive across a wide geographic area.

Because yes, sure, the majority of those plants are in fact invasive across the USA. English ivy is a scourge in my area, and knotweed is worse.

But Concord grape? Is a North American east coast native cultivar; it's one of the many cultivars of Vitis labrusca. If you're east of the Mississippi, and you've got grapevines up your trees, up your shed? There's about a 95% chance that's a native species! It's aggressive as all fuck (source: I have pulled 45ft of V. labrusca out of trees before), but aggressive growth doesn't make something invasive!

So like. If the screenshotted person's in the west coast? Sure, the claim that everything there is invasive has more ground. But calling V. labrusca invasive across the whole USA when that's the native fucking grape you're talking about makes me irrationally pissed off.

#phoenix sounds #Something being vigorous and aggressive doesn't make it invasive! Holy shit! #V. labrusca grows like the dickens east of the Mississippi because it is supposed to be here! Holy fucking shit! #Like fuck me! I've got Monarda sp. growing absolutely apeshit in my garden right now! #That I can't see the soil doesn't make it invasive though because I'm in the USA and there are minimum 3 species of it native to my area! #It's growing abundantly because it's literally supposed to be here! #And yeah I do have an ongoing job of making sure the V. labrusca vines don't pull the screens off my house! #But holy shit! Cutting vines back and restructuring them is how you generally work with grapes! #Just because it's vigorous as fuck here doesn't make it invasive! It definitionally cannot be invasive in half the fucking USA! Fuck!

“For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature. If we set bits in the horses' mouths to make them obey us, we can turn their whole bodies about. Likewise, look at the ships: though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the impulse of the helmsman determines. Even so the tongue is a little member, and it can boast of great things. See how much wood or how great a forest a tiny spark can set ablaze! And the tongue is a fire. [The tongue is a] world of wickedness set among our members, contaminating and depraving the whole body and setting on fire the wheel of birth (the cycle of man's nature), being itself ignited by hell (Gehenna). For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea animal, can be tamed and has been tamed by human genius (nature). But the human tongue can be tamed by no man. It is a restless (undisciplined, irreconcilable) evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men who were made in God's likeness! Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not to be so. Does a fountain send forth [simultaneously] from the same opening fresh water and bitter? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine figs? Neither can a salt spring furnish fresh water. Who is there among you who is wise and intelligent? Then let him by his noble living show forth his [good] works with the [unobtrusive] humility [which is the proper attribute] of true wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry, selfish ambition) in your hearts, do not pride yourselves on it and thus be in defiance of and false to the Truth. This [superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual (animal), even devilish (demoniacal). For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure (undefiled); then it is peace-loving, courteous (considerate, gentle). [It is willing to] yield to reason, full of compassion and good fruits; it is wholehearted and straightforward, impartial and unfeigned (free from doubts, wavering, and insincerity). And the harvest of righteousness (of conformity to God's will in thought and deed) is [the fruit of the seed] sown in peace by those who work for and make peace [in themselves and in others, that peace which means concord, agreement, and harmony between individuals, with undisturbedness, in a peaceful mind free from fears and agitating passions and moral conflicts].” James‬ ‭3‬:‭2‬-‭18‬

Walk into my flesh, love

And feed me in my dreaming

I'm twitching and I'm screaming.

Flesh crawling with worms and memories.

It might not be a nightmare, but it's sad and it's melancholy and my face is melting.

Stalk the byways of my orchard

Pulling eyes down off the grapevine

And taking a bite,

vitreous fluid dripping down your chin like concord grape juice

or your thick black tears,

mascara stain'd and all alone.

You wake to the sound of nothing,

which is the unsound,

not a sound,

and also the worst kind of sound,

making a wasp nest in the thicket of your brain.

Buzzing, buzzing, EVER FUCKING BUZZING.

I am a murder laid out on a slab in the center of a highway,

a carcrash, not a carcrash, a carcass, and a warning.

A warming sort of swarming,

the wasps now exploding out my eyesockets,

a pocket of pus beginning to leak out of my soul,

a hole.

In everything.

Everything hollow, everything full,

you're a child again and they're telling you stories of wonders untold to get your head to rest after a nightmare.

But their head is the death of your first love

and it's screaming, screaming, ever screaming,

showering maggots onto you with every volley of sound.

Go to sleep,

I love you with every inch of the open wound that stretches across every inch of my festering soul,

a scalpel taken to memories of your face, revealing it as naught but a cruel tableau.

You only exist in pictures now,

because your head is a corpse

and mine is the end of all things.

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Pages 1335 and 1336: Jonah 3:5 The people of Nineveh believed God. They proclaimed a fast, and great and small alike put on sackcloth. Jonah 3:6 When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took of his robe, put on sackcloth, and sat in ashes. Jonah 3:7 And he had the word cried though Nineveh: By decree of the king and his nobles: No man or beast--of flock or herd--shall taste anything! They shall no graze, and they shall not drink water! Jonah 3:8 They shall be covered with sackcloth--man and beast--and shall cry mightily to God. Let everyone turn back from his evil ways and from the injustice of which he is guilty. Jonah 3:9 Who knows but that God my turn and relent? He may turn back from His wrath, so that we do not perish." Jonah 3:10 God saw what they did, how they were turning back from their evil ways. And God renounced the punishment He had planned to bring upon themn, and did not carry it out.

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Page 1626: Proverbs 16:9 A man may plot out his course, But it is the Lord who directs his steps.

Mark 16:9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Page 397: Deuteronomy 10:4 The Lord inscribed on the tablets the same text as on the first, the Ten Commandments that He addressed to you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the Assembly; and the Lord gave them to me. Deuteronomy 10:5 Then I left and went down from the mountain, and I deposited the tablets in the ark that I had made, where they stil are, as the Lord had commanded me.

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Page 1033: Jeremiah 10:5 They are like a scarecrow in a cucumber patch, They cannot speak. They have to be carried, For they cannot walk. Be not afraid of them, for they can do no harm; Nor is it in them to do any good.

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Page 1780: Ecclesiastes 10:5 Here is an evil I have seen under the sun as great as an error committed by a ruler:

John 10:1 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. John 10:2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. John 10:3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. John 10:4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. John 10:5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Pages 610 and 611: 1 Samuel 17:31 The things David said were overheard and were reported to Saul, who had him brought over. 1 Samuel 17:32 David said to Saul, "Let no man's courage fail him. Your servant will go and fight that Philistine!" 1 Samuel 17:33 But Saul said to David, "You cannot go to that Philistine and fight him; you are only a boy, and he has been a warrior from his youth!" 1 Samuel 17:34 David replied to Saul, "Your servant has been tending his father's sheep, and if a lion or a bear came and carried off an animal from the flock, 1 Samuel 17:35 I would go after it and fight it and rescue it from its mouth. And if it attacked me, I would seize it by the beard and strike it down and kill it. 1 Samuel 17:36 Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and that uncircumcised Philistine shall end up like one of them, for he has defied the ranks of the living God. 1 Samuel 17:37 The Lord," David went on, "who saved me from lion and bear will also save me from that Philistine." "Then go," Saul said to David, "and may the Lord be with you!" 1 Samuel 17:38 Saul clothed David in his own garment; he placed a bronze helmet on his head and fastened a breastplate on him. 1 Samuel 17:39 David girded his sword over his garment. Then he tried to walk; but he was not used to it. And David said to Saul, "I cannot walk in these, for I am not used to them." So David took them off. 1 Samuel 17:40 He took his stick, picked a few smooth stones from the wadi, put them in the pocket of his shepherd's bag and, sling in hand, he went toward the Philistine. 1 Samuel 17:41 The Philistine, meanwhile, was coming closer to David, preceded by his shield-bearer. 1 Samuel 17:42 When the Philistine caught sight of David, he scorned him, for he was but a boy, ruddy and handsome. 1 Samuel 17:43 And the Philistine called out to David, "Am I a dog that you come against me with sticks?" The Philistine cursed David by his gods; 1 Samuel 17:44 and the Philistine said to David, "Come here, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field." 1 Samuel 17:45 David replied to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin; but I come against you in the name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, whom you have defied. 1 Samuel 17:46 This very day the Lord will deliver you into my hands. I will kill you and cut off your head; and I will give the carcasses of the Philistine camp to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the earth. All the earth shall know that there is a God in Israel. 1 Samuel 17:47 And this whole assembly shall know that the Lord can give victory without sword or spear. For the battle is the Lord's, and He will deliver you into our hands." 1 Samuel 17:48 When the Philistine began to advance toward him again, David quickly ran up to the battle line to face the Philistine. 1 Samuel 17:49 David put his hand into the bag; he took out a stone and slung it. It struck the Philistine in the forehead; the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell face down on the ground.

King Pastoria is a fictional character mentioned in the Oz books by American author L. Frank Baum. He was the rightful ruler and King of the undiscovered Land of Oz, but was mysteriously removed from his position when the Wizard of Oz unexpectedly came to the country and took the throne, proclaiming himself as the new dominant ruler of Oz. Shortly after, Pastoria's only child and heir, Princess Ozma, suddenly vanished, leaving not a single clue of her whereabouts. Eventually in the second Oz book The Marvelous Land of Oz (1904) (where Pastoria's past is first mentioned in detail), Glinda the Good finally finds Ozma, who was transformed by the evil witch Mombi into a boy, preventing anyone from recognizing her and thus allowing Mombi to ascend to the throne. Glinda forces Mombi to undo this curse and Ozma was established back in her place as the official child Queen of Oz. (Wikipedia)

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Page 738: 1 Kings 11:1 King Solomon loved many foreign women in addition to Pharaoh's daughter--Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Phoenician, and Hittite women, 1 Kings 11:2 from the nations of which the Lord had said to the Israelites, "None of you shall join them and none of them shall join you, lest they turn your heart away to follow their gods." Such Solomon clung to and loved. 1 Kings 11:3 He had seven hundred royal wives and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned his heart away. 1 Kings 11:4 In his old age, his wives turned away Solomon's heart after other gods, and he was not as wholeheartedly devoted to the Lord his God as his father David had been. 1 Kings 11:5 Solomon followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Phoenicians, and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 1 Kings 11:6 Solomon did what was displeasing to the Lord and did not remain loyal to the Lord like his father David.

Isaiah 6:9 "And He said, "Go, say to that people: 'Hear, indeed, but do not understand; See, indeed, but do not grasp.' Isaiah 6:10 Dull that people's mind, Stop its ears, And seal its eyes--Lest, seeing with its eyes And hearing with its ears, It also grasp with its mind, And repent and save itself."

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English) Page 1614: Proverbs 9:8 Do not rebuke a scoffer, for he will hate you; Reprove a wise man, and he will love you.

Proverbs 9:10 The beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord, And knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

For Christian and Hebrew comparison: Notice the repeated uncapitalized references after "The Lord" and pair that with the antisemitic, genocidal, ethnic cleansing, and antichrist/satanic Sunday "Lord's Day" and the so-called "Old, Useless, Outdated, and Worthless" Testament of the King James Version of the Christian Holy Bible.

In the Hebrew TANAKH scriptures that Jesus Christ came to validate, redeem, and fulfill by studying them, living by them, teaching them, and dying by and for them, every time "Lord," is mentioned, every "He," "Him," and "You" is capitalized to honor, glorify, and show the proper respect, but in the King James Version of the so-called "Old, Useless, Outdated, and Worthless" Testament, no "thou," "thee," "thy," "his," "he," or "him" is capitalized showing a complete lack of respect, and malicious and intentional disrespect, toward the Almighty Abrahamic G-d of the Abrahamic faiths, every Hebrew on Earth, and Israel.

In Christianity, these scriptures are supposed to validate the "New Testament" of the Almighty Abrahamic G-d loving the world so much that He gave His Anointed One as a Passover sacrifice:

This truly is exactly like the Agent Smith virus of The Matrix movies… It's malicious and intentional. It's been like this since 1600 AD with obvious massive reprints for hundreds of years and no corrections…ever.

Psalm 28:1 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible "Old Testament") A Psalm of David. Unto thee will I cry, O LORD my rock; be not silent to me: lest, if thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down into the pit. Psalm 28:2 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible "Old Testament") Hear the voice of my supplications, when I cry unto thee, when I lift up my hands toward thy holy oracle. Psalm 28:3 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible "Old Testament") Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts. Psalm 28:4 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible "Old Testament") Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. Psalm 28:5 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible "Old Testament") Because they regard not the works of the LORD, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up. Psalm 28:6 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible "Old Testament") Blessed be the LORD, because he hath heard the voice of my supplications. Psalm 28:7 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible "Old Testament") The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him. Psalm 28:8 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible "Old Testament") The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed. Psalm 28:9 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible "Old Testament") Save thy people, and bless thine inheritance: feed them also, and lift them up for ever.

Those responsible for the King James Version of the Christian Holy Bible use the term "lift them up" to describe crucifixion (torture, dehumanization, cursing, genocide, and ethnic cleansing). In the Hebrew TANAKH, "Your very own people" perfectly describes the Hebrews whose accurate translation of the uncorrupted Abrahamic scriptures is the true and only foundation of authentic Christianity. Jesus Christ told His followers it'd be exactly this way and it undeniably is. No true student of the authentic life and teachings of Jesus Christ can, could, or should take the King James Version of the Christian Holy Bible seriously as a valid and acceptable holistic Christian text. Considering what England did to the Hebrews, and that England's imperialism and slave trade was the nazi blueprint for the Holocaust, true Christians need to discard all of that Old English language and belief system forever and never pair it with the authentic Hebrew texts again.

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew English) Pages 1442 and 1443: Psalm 28:1 Of David. O Lord, I call to You; my rock, do not disregard me, for if You hold aloof from me, I shall be like those gone down into the Pit. Psalm 28:2 Listen to my plea for mercy when I cry out to You, when I lift my hands toward Your inner sanctuary. Psalm 28:3 Do not count me with the wicked and evildoers who profess goodwill toward their fellows while malice is in their heart. Psalm 28:4 Pay them according to their deeds, their malicious acts; according to their handiwork pay them, give them their deserts. Psalm 28:5 For they do not consider the Lord's deeds, the work of His hands. May He tear them down, never to rebuild them! Psalm 28:6 Blessed is the Lord, for He listens to my plea for mercy. Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him. I was helped and my heart exulted, so I will glorify Him with my song. Psalm 28:8 The Lord is my strength; He is a stronghold for the deliverance of His anointed. Psalm 28:9 Deliver and bless Your very own people; tend them and sustain them forever.

Notice the very important differences between Psalm 28:8: the disassociation and disconnection from the Almighty Abrahamic G-d of "their" versus "my" and the crucial mistranslation of "saving strength" versus "stronghold and deliverance of His anointed" considering that those responsible for the King James Version of the Christian Holy Bible have never stopped engaging in a campaign of antisemitism, genocide, and ethnic cleansing of the native/indigenous Hebrew people of Israel with the undeniable intention of invalidating the Hebrew TANAKH and erasing the truth and authentic knowledge about the Almighty Abrahamic G-d of the Abrahamic faiths. Considering that the Hebrew TANAKH is an exact match for; that completely validates all of the authentic life and teachings of Jesus Christ; in the Christian "New Testament," it's undeniable that the end goal is also to erase the truth and authentic knowledge about the life and teachings Jesus Christ; because they can't just erase Jesus Christ's Father without erasing Jesus Christ, as well. That's whatgenocide and ethnic cleansing look like when the end goal has always been this:

After Constantine the Great's in 321 and the Council of Laodicea from 363, the Christian rulers decided that the commandment of God is no more valid, now being needed to follow the commandments of people, switching in this sense the day of rest to Sunday, and by 361 AD it had become a mandated weekly occurrence.

“Our regard for the Lord’s resurrection, which took place on the Lord’s Day, will lead us to celebrate it on the same principle ”

“And all things whatsoever that it was the duty to do on the Sabbath, these we have transferred to the Lord’s Day as more honorable than the Jewish Sabbath.”

“Christians ought not to Judaize and to rest in the Sabbath, but to work in that day; but preferring the Lord’s Day, should rest, if possible, as Christians."

"Wherefore if they shall be found to Judaize, let them be accursed from Christ.” (Wikipedia)

In Christian eschatology, the Antichrist refers to people prophesied by the Bible to oppose Jesus Christ and substitute themselves in Christ's place before the Second Coming. (Wikipedia)

The term Antichrist (including one plural form) is found four times in the New Testament, solely in the First and Second Epistle of John. The Antichrist is announced as the one "who denies the Father and the Son." The similar term pseudokhristos or "false Christ" is also found in the Gospels. In Matthew (chapter 24) and Mark (chapter 13), Jesus alerts his disciples not to be deceived by the false prophets, who will claim themselves to be the Christ, performing "great signs and wonders". Three other images often associated with the Antichrist are the "little horn" in Daniel's final vision, the "man of sin" in Paul the Apostle's Second Epistle to the Thessalonians, and the Beast of the Sea in the Book of Revelation. (Wikipedia)

Psalm 1:6 (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English TANAKH) Page 1413 For the Lord cherishes the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked is doomed.

Psalm 1:6 (New International Version Christian Holy Bible) For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.

Psalm 1:6 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible) For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Cherish: (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English TANAKH) 1a: to hold dear : feel or show affection for 1b: to keep or cultivate with care and affection : NURTURE 2: to entertain or harbor in the mind deeply and resolutely (Merriam-Webster)

Watch over: (New International Version Christian Holy Bible) 1: as in supervise; to be in charge of (Merriam-Webster)

Know: (King James Version Christian Holy Bible) 1: to perceive directly : have direct cognition of 2: to have understanding of (Merriam-Webster)

During the Roman occupation of Israel, before they tortured and murdered Jesus Christ and destroyed the Second Temple of the Almighty Abrahamic G-d of Israel and the Hebrews, the terms "watch over" and "know" accurately described what the Romans and Roman-loyalist traitors subjected Jesus Christ and His apostles to. Those terms are found in the so-called "Old Testament" that was translated from Hebrew and Aramaic by co-conspirators of the people who actually tortured and murdered Jesus Christ, destroyed the Second Temple, committed massive genocidal and ethnic cleansing war crimes and crimes against humanity against Israel and the native Hebrew population, and created the antisemitic, genocidal, ethnic cleansing, and antichrist/satanic Sunday "Lord's Day" that led to the implosion of their empire 55 years after its implementation.

In contrast, "cherish" is the term the Jewish Publication Society's Hebrew-English TANAKH uses to describe how the Almighty Abrahamic G-d of the Abrahamic faiths loves, embraces, holds dear, and nurtures all who keep His commandments, loves and blesses the Hebrews, and all who fear, honor, and glorify the Almighty Abrahamic G-d of the Abrahamic faiths. All true students of the authentic life and teachings of Jesus Christ immediately recognize "cherish" as being 100% consistent with the reason Jesus Christ was sent, the reason and ways that Jesus Christ shared the love of His ABBA Father and laid down His life for His Father, Israel, all Hebrews, and all who would believe in Him and His ABBA Father, the Almighty Abrahamic G-d of the Abrahamic faiths. And that's why every true student of the authentic life and teachings of Jesus Christ needs to have a Jewish Publication Society translation of the Hebrew TANAKH, compare it to the closest Christian Holy Bible translation, the New International Version, and ignore the blasphemy of the "Old Testament" of the Christian Holy Bible entirely; because the "New Testament" can't exist in the same book as the "Old Testament" that completely and intentionally invalidates it.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16 doesn't state that G-d gave Jesus Christ as a Passover sacrifice to prove He is supervising and in charge of humanity (New International Version Christian Holy Bible).

John 3:16 doesn't state that G-d gave Jesus Christ as a Passover sacrifice to prove He is watching humanity and knows what everyone's doing (King James Version Christian Holy Bible).

"Cherish" is the only accurate and acceptable translation that matches John 3:16 of the "New Testament" about the authentic life and teachings of Jesus Christ; but it's not found in either of what's considered to be the two most respected and accurate translations of the Christian Holy Bible; it's only found in the Jewish Publication Society's Hebrew-English TANAKH. Friday night to Saturday night is the only weekly seventh-day Sabbath for all who would be the cherished and righteous true students of the authentic life and teachings of Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ, His apostles, and all of His followers and believers kept the seventh-day Sabbath holy every single week. And isn't it interesting that those suffering under the 5 generation curse of the antisemitic, genocidal, ethnic cleansing, antichrist/satanic Sunday "Lord's Day" were, and still are, unable to accurately translate the same original Hebrew scriptures that Jesus Christ studied, lived, taught, and died by and for; yet the Hebrews who keep the seventh-day Sabbath holy and keep the commandments of the Almighty Abrahamic G-d of the Abrahamic faiths can and do translate the Hebrew TANAKH scriptures accurately so they're a perfect match for the Christian "New Testament"? The simple, obvious, and undeniable answer is: Psalm 1:6 (JPS Hebrew-English TANAKH), Page 1413: For the Lord cherishes the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked is doomed.

Once again, the Hebrew TANAKH capitalizes every "His," "Him," and "He" referring to "the Lord your God" in the scriptures. And again, the King James Version of the "Old Testament" of the Christian Holy Bible intentionally and maliciously shows complete disrespect and dishonor toward "the Lord thy God" by decapitalizing every "his," "him," and "he" to completely invalidate Jesus Christ's direct teachings and the entire Christian "New Testament." Those responsible for the "Old, Outdated, Useless, and Worthless Testament" of the King James Version of the Christian Holy Bible are undeniably refusing to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" as Jesus Christ taught, lived, and died by and for.

TANAKH (Jewish Publication Society, Hebrew-English): Page 398: Deuteronomy 10:12 And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God demand of you? Only this: to revere the Lord your God, to walk only in His paths, to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and soul, Deuteronomy 10:13 keeping the Lord's commandments and laws, which I enjoin upon you today, for your good. Deuteronomy 10:14 Mark, the heavens to their uttermost reaches belong to the Lord your God, the earth and all that is on it! Deuteronomy 10:15 Yet it was to your fathers that the Lord was drawn in His love for them, so that He chose you, their lineal descendants, from among all peoples--as is now the case. Deuteronomy 10:16 Cut away, therefore, the thickening about your hearts and stiffen your necks no more. Deuteronomy 10:17 For the Lord your God is God supreme and Lord supreme, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who shows no favor and takes no bribe, Deuteronomy 10:18 but upholds the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and befriends the stranger, providing him with food and clothing.-- Deuteronomy 10:19 You too must befriend the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. Deuteronomy 10:20 You must revere the Lord your God: only Him shall you worship, to Him shall you hold fast, and by His name shall you swear. Deuteronomy 10:21 He is your glory and He is your God, who wrought for you those marvelous, awesome deeds that you saw with your own eyes.

Deuteronomy 10:12 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible) And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, Deuteronomy 10:13 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible) To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good? Deuteronomy 10:14 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible) Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD'S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is. Deuteronomy 10:15 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible) Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day. Deuteronomy 10:16 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible) Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. Deuteronomy 10:17 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible) For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward: Deuteronomy 10:18 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible) He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. Deuteronomy 10:19 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible) Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Deuteronomy 10:20 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible) Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. Deuteronomy 10:21 (King James Version Christian Holy Bible) He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.

Matthew 22:36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Matthew 22:37 Jesus replied: “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ Matthew 22:38 This is the first and greatest commandment. Matthew 22:39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 22:40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

John 4:22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

Merlot has a soft texture that makes it easy to enjoy with friends. The deliciously plummy fruit flavor balances out the mellow tannins so you can still appreciate this classy vintage without feeling too overwhelmed by its underlying strength. The grapes that make up the famous Bordeaux wine region have a lot of variety, but Merlot is one type you can find growing in abundance.

Malbec is a purple grape variety found in the blend of red Bordeaux wine. The grapes have an inkling dark color and robust tannins, making it one of six allowed varieties to create this type with its deep flavor profile that offers some sweetness but also leatheriness at times due to spice compounds called polyphenols within each seed which give them their signature look when scanned by laser light while drying after picking so they'll know where these beauties hide. The French village of Cahors is home to Malbec grapes, which are primarily found in south central France. Though they have been grown across the world for centuries on end since their introduction by Spanish farmers during colonial times- it was only when Argentina began cultivating them that this variety received national recognition as well praise from vintners there who claimed its flavor profile similar enough between two countries so close together geographically speaking. 21) What is Cabernet Sauvignon? Cabernet Sauvignon is a variety of red wine that can be found in many climates and regions. In fact, it grows well across most parts of the world with notable exceptions such as Australia where they mainly use Carine Patmore instead. The popularity of this grape is often attributed to its ease in cultivation—the thick skins and hardiness make it perfect for vineyards. The

vines can withstand many viticultural hazards such as rot or insects, which makes growing wine grapes an easy task with these traits. 22) What is Scuppernong? You might be thinking that you've seen these before, but it's hard to find a grape more unique than the scuppernong. The Scuppernongs are big, juicy grapes that are greenish, burnished bronze, or green-gold in color. Scuppernong grape, named the state fruit of North Carolina in 2001, the scuppernong grape is one that has been cultivated for centuries. It was first grown by Native Americans and later became popular as a wine variety on Albemarle Sound's south side within modern-day America. 23) What is Pinot Noir? The deep, dark red of a Pinot noir is often associated with fine wines and elegant restaurants. The grape has been treasured for centuries as it was first discovered by the inhabitants of Northern Italy more than 2 millennia ago. The name is derived from the French words for pine and black. This ancient variety provides depth in its flavor profile that matches well against foods such as fatty meats or cheeses but also complement seafood dishes nicely too. The grape is associated with France's Burgundy region and the Pinot noir grapes grown there have a characteristic flavor that can't be found anywhere else. When it comes to wine, the thin skins and low levels of phenolic compounds lend pinot noir wines an almost exclusively light color. These medium-bodied bottles can often go through phases where they are unstable in age or taste; however when young wines made from Pinot noir often have a red fruit aroma of strawberries, raspberries and cherries. 3.

So the next time you need an energy boost or want something sweet after dinner, reach for a handful of grapes.

It’s dark, and it needs work. But, it’s got some great features, and the real estate ad says it can possibly be used for a business (noooooo, not an office!). This 1900 Victorian is located in Macomb, Illinois, has 3bd. 2.5ba, and is listed for only $107K. Give it a look. 

The first thing we see as we enter is beautiful original wood & floors. I would like to see what’s under that carpet and the wood wall looks like it’s been stripped and re-stained, so it needs some sealer.

You can just see a glimpse of the beautiful ceiling millwork.

Wow, gorgeous fireplace. Also, the carpet really matches the wallpaper. It could stay awhile.

Look at the fabulous floors. Love that. 

Windows w/original wood- look at that dental crown molding! I don’t think that the tiny corbels are original, though.

Gold ceiling, medallion and beautiful chandelier. Love the door and columns. It’s dark, but there’s some lovely millwork on the right.

Another original door, ceiling beams, and a cool light fixture. Love the walls, too. Must be the dining room.

You can see that gorgeous fireplace from here and look at the size of the crown molding.

Wow, the windows in the turret out front. Look at the beautifully detailed crown molding. 

Hmmm...looks like a picnic bench up there. Don’t like the kitchen, it’s a dated reno, but it’s not urgent. It’s still a useable kitchen for now. Plus, the appliances are new.

This bathroom has been painted over, and it would look great with reproduction Victorian plumbing fixtures.

There’s a lot of wallpaper in this house. Some of it should be removed, which is a lot of work.

The hall to the bedrooms still has the original gas light fixture on the wall. 

Not lovin’ the shower, but the pedestal sink is cool. 

This bd. needs some sprucing up.

Bd. set up as a family room. Loving all the original doors.

Why do they keep it so dark? Open the shades. Looks like a nice new floor in here.

Is that a grapevine? I LOVE grapevines. My grandparents had one and I couldn’t get enough of those sweet Concord grapes. 

Nice little porch on the back.

Large yard with a garage.

Oh, how can you resist this? Look at how pretty she is. I hope an office doesn’t buy it, it needs to stay a house.
