It’s also very easy to point fingers and find fault in others.
A most difficult task is to take a good look in the mirror and see where one may be at fault or how one could be the cause of events that reverberate in so many spheres.
There’s a saying …
“If your house is made of glass don’t throw stones on others”.
Pianist plays moving rendition of ‘Imagine‘ outside attack site
As support pours in from around the world and the city mourns in the wake of Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris, a pianist offered his own touching contribution.
On Saturday morning, November 14, pianist Davide Martello rode up on a bike with a portable piano and played John Lennon’s “Imagine” in an area near the Bataclan concert hall, where more than 100 people were killed as part of a coordinated attack at multiple sites.
In January 2015, the German musician played for two hours in the Place de la Republique in Paris as a healing gesture for the city after the deadly attacks on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket. Martello also played through the night in Turkey’s Taksim Square in 2013 amidst widespread protests and turmoil in the country.
Paris Attacks Kill More Than 100, Police Say; Border Controls Tighter
The Paris area reeled Friday night, November 13, 2015, from a shooting rampage, explosions and mass hostage-taking that President François Hollande called an unprecedented terrorist attack on France. His government announced sharply increased border controls and heightened police powers as it mobilized the military in a national emergency.
French television and news services quoted the police as saying that around 100 people had been killed at a concert site where hostages had been held during a two-hour standoff with the police, and that perhaps dozens of others had been killed in apparently coordinated attacks outside the country’s main sports stadium and four other popular locations in the city.

A satirical take on the Starbucks Red Cup CONtroversy ginned up by CONservatives …
Starbucks should be ashamed for their decision to remove Christ from the red cup design this holiday season.
According to Michael Cantrell of The Radical.com
Apparently, for many people, the switch-up from white cups to red cups is a Christmas tradition, an indication the holiday season is upon us, but preserving the spirit of the season doesn’t seem to be on the company’s radar, although appeasing the PC Police and making sure no one’s delicate feelings are hurt certainly is.
Yes, because Christmas has CHRIST in it — and technically, since it is about His birth, it’s a day that really should be focused on Him — that makes it super offensive to the liberal crowd who simply can’t tolerate that Jesus character.”
I mean, really Starbucks, no snowflakes, gingerbread man, white dove, Christmas tree, or snowman to remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ who died for our sins.
Who do you think you are, Starbucks?
Jesus should always come before capitalism and the free market.
There are no Constitutional rights when it comes to our Lord and Savior Jesus.
You know what you are, Starbucks?
You are a weak minded, politically correct, liberal communist.
You are the Devil.
Thank you Lord, for the almighty blessing of Joshua Feuerstein, and for blessing him with the bravery to inform us parishioners about Starbucks anti-Christ behavior, and for leading the boycott.
Let’s shame Starbucks for being dismissive and for lacking the courage to recognize Jesus is our savor.
We Christians have a right to religious freedom.
Christ deserves more than this year’s lackluster red cup, with no Christmas design.
It’s absolutely disgraceful that Starbucks would have the audacity to rage a war against Christians.
Antoine-Joseph “Adolphe” Sax (6 November 1814 – c. 7 February 1894) was a Belgian inventor and musician who invented the saxophone. He played the flute and clarinet, and his other creations are the saxotromba, saxhorn and saxtuba.
Antoine-Joseph Sax was born on November 6, 1814 in Dinant, Belgium to Mr. and Mrs. Charles-Joseph Sax. While his first name was Antoine, he was referred to as Adolphe from childhood.
His father and mother were instrument designers themselves, who made several changes to the design of the horn. Adolphe began to make his own instruments at an early age, entering two of his flutes and a clarinet into a competition at the age of 15. He subsequently studied performance on those two instruments as well as voice at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.
November 6th is the 201st birthday of the Belgian musician and inventor of the saxophone, who is being celebrated by five Google Doodles
Adolphe Sax, born in Belgium on November 6, 1814, was a Belgian musician and inventor who created the much-loved saxophone. Sax invented several instruments including the saxophone which was patented in 1846.
“He started tinkering with instruments of his own, and upon bringing together the body of a brass and the mechanics of a woodwind, created a hybrid that would revolutionize music,” Google wrote on its Doodle blog.
“His eponymous saxophone had a sound all its own, a wonderfully smoky middle ground between the two.”
Sax was one of 11 children, and came from a lineage of instrument-makers – his father, who was also a carpenter, passed down his skills to his entrepreneurial son who apparently began tinkering with his first instrument – the clarinet – as a teenager.
According to Google, one Doodle wouldn’t be enough to showcase how creative and “inventive” Sax was, so the artist Lydia Nichols designed five different Doodles, each highlighting a different instrument invented by Sax.
On November 6, 2015 Google celebrates Adolphe Sax’s 201st Birthday showing Adolphe Sax playing saxophone on the Google letters.
Antoine-Joseph “Adolf” Sax (6 Nov. 1814 – February 1894) was a Belgian musician and musical instrument designer and is known as the inventor of the saxophone.
