Deus não é quase soberano. Ele está no controle completo das circunstâncias de nossa vida. Ele é bom. E ele é cheio de misericórdia.

Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart

1 My son, do not forget my law, But let your heart keep my commands; 2 For length of days and long life And peace they will add to you. 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, 4 And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man. 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. 8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones. 9 Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine. 11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His correction; 12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

Blessed Is the One Who Finds Wisdom

13 Happy is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding; 14 For her proceeds are better than the profits of silver, And her gain than fine gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies, And all the things you may desire cannot compare with her. 16 Length of days is in her right hand, In her left hand riches and honor. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to those who take hold of her, And happy are all who retain her. 19 The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; By understanding He established the heavens; 20 By His knowledge the depths were broken up, And clouds drop down the dew. 21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes-- Keep sound wisdom and discretion; 22 So they will be life to your soul And grace to your neck. 23 Then you will walk safely in your way, And your foot will not stumble. 24 When you lie down, you will not be afraid; Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet. 25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror, Nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes; 26 For the Lord will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught. 27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, "Go, and come back, And tomorrow I will give it," When you have it with you. 29 Do not devise evil against your neighbor, For he dwells by you for safety's sake. 30 Do not strive with a man without cause, If he has done you no harm. 31 Do not envy the oppressor, And choose none of his ways; 32 For the perverse person is an abomination to the Lord, But His secret counsel is with the upright. 33 The curse of the Lord is on the house of the wicked, But He blesses the home of the just. 34 Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble. 35 The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools. — Proverbs 3 | New King James Version (NKJV) The Holy Bible; New King James Version®.

the Nelson family: growing together

How adorable are they? 💜

Here are Grace, Thomas and Victor. I’m going to be playing with them for a bit as I explore the Growing Together EP, so expect to see more of them over the next few weeks. They also have two dogs, who I’m sure will be making guest appearances. Baby Victor is going to be the main character, of course.

I dropped them into their house in Willow Creek, but it was the one I’d originally made for a much older Victor and his mom, so needless to say it’s not at all baby-ready. At the moment, Victor’s sleeping in a pack-n-play in his parents’ bedroom because there’s no designated nursery. The place is going to need some “renovations”, which I’m hoping to do over the next week or so.

I need to call it something, so I can tag the posts properly. Back in 2021 I did a series of posts that I was calling “time machine” but I don’t really want to reuse that. Anyway, I’m sure I’ll come up with something. 🤔

So many of our trials are skewed by our perspective. For us, our problems seem overwhelming and all-encompassing while God seems small and distant. But for God, the all-powerful and all-present Lord of all creation, our problems must seem quite small. However, when we meet Him in quiet time alone together, then our perspective reaches a point of balance. We still may not be able to see beyond our problems or imagine how we’ll get through them, but we know we’re going to keep our eyes on Jesus each step forward. The more time you spend with Jesus, the less time you’re going to spend being intimidated by the opinions of others or worrying about your problems. [Therefore,] worshiping God [must] become the first thing [you] do whenever [you're] faced with a loss, crisis, or major setback. This [will not] always come naturally... but [in time you will] recognize how [your steadfast hope in God] has saved [you] so many times as [you continually strive to] stand strong in [true] faith. Worship is your lifeblood. It will produce courage to fuel your faith when you’re being tested. And you will be tested, my friend. The critical question is simply how you will respond: fearfully, allowing the Enemy a chance to derail your faith, or with courage to step forward and trust God with the outcome. [Fear and confusion want] to claim you—but you don’t have to let it. You have all you need to pass any test you face. You have the courage of the Lord.

Thomas Nelson

24 Days of La Fayette: December 7th - Captain Cadwallader Jones

Todays aide-de-camp is closely connected to Major Carter Page from yesterday.

Cadwallader Jones was born in Virginia, likely in 1755 and commissioned a Captain of the 3rd Dragoons from the State of Virginia on February 6, 1778. The commander of his Brigade was Brigadier-General Casimir Pulaski.

Jones was discharged on November 9, 1782. Prior to his dischargement he had served as La Fayette’s aide-de-camp. The muster rolls of Valley Forge as well as some early editors of George Washingtons papers suggest that he served in that capacity from 1778 until 1781 but his pension records and the overall evidence imply that he served only during La Fayette’s time in Virginie in 1781. He is first mentioned in a letter from La Fayette to Nathanael Greene on May 18, 1781:

Every departement in this State Was in Such a Confusion that it takes great deal of My time to Arrange them. Clayburne Was not Satisfied With Mr. Elliot whom the Baron Had Appointed. As there Cannot Be Any Good done where there is no Harmony I Have to the Great Satisfaction of Clayburne appointed as field Quarter Master Mjor. Langburne My aid de Camp and Captain Jones for His assistant. Langburn's disinterestness is as clear to me as Could Be My own, and I Have in Concert With Clayburne fixed the plan of Conduct in that departement.

Idzerda Stanley J. et al., editors, Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution: Selected Letters and Papers, 1776–1790, Volume 4, April 1, 1781–December 23, 1781, Cornell University Press, 1981, p. 110-114.

We see that Jones was not only aide-de-camp but in his “spare time” also the Assistant Quarter Master – we have to keep this in mind when looking at the next letter. La Fayette wrote to Thomas Nelson on August 16, 1781:

Our Quarter Masters department under Majr. Jones cannot move any longer without a supply of money. I have taken the liberty to draw a warrant on the pay master in his favor for £5o,ooo. I would observe however that this sum is too inconsiderable to be of much service; and that without more money can be had, I know not what we shall do. Majr. Jones sends one of his assistants to Richmond to lay before your Excellency his wants, and to call upon the Quarter Master General, for such succour as he can afford.

Idzerda Stanley J. et al., editors, Lafayette in the Age of the American Revolution: Selected Letters and Papers, 1776–1790, Volume 4, April 1, 1781–December 23, 1781, Cornell University Press, 1981, p. 331-332.

At this point in time, the Quarter Master was Major Jones and the Assistant Quarter Master was Captain Jones … the two of them are not to be confused. In the end, Cadwallader Jones received a warrant over 100.000 Pound Sterling.

After the War of Independence, Jones married Mary (Pride) Jones in Virginia on November 26, 1783 and together they had at least four children. Frederick Lafayette (Jones) Pride, Halcott Pride (Jones) Pride, Cadwallader Jones II and Lucy (Jones) Green.

Both Frederick Lafayette and Lucy Jones Green appear in the pension application as their fathers heirs and witnesses. Disputed was the Jones’ claim to several acres of land in Ohio that was allegedly given to Cadwallader Jones for his service during the war. Brother and sister named their brother Cadwallader Jones II as their attorney and fully authorize him to speak on the family’s behalf. Despite several witness statements and a lot of back and forth (the whole file is six (typed) pages long), the claim was in the end denied.

There is something else that is very peculiar about the Jones children – two male members, Frederick Lafayette Jones and Halcott Pride Jones changed their last name to Pride. Why did they do that? Their maternal uncle, Halcott Briggs Pride wrote in his will:

It is to be understood that I make the above devises and bequests to the said Halcott Pride and Frederick Lafayette upon this espress condition, that they severally assume after they [achieve?] full age, the surname of Pride.

Why Pride wrote the following provision in his will, I can not tell, but it seems as if there had been a good reason for it that was generally known and accepted by the family for both of his nephews followed the stipulation in their uncles will. Halcott Briggs Pride had two sisters who took on their husband’s name after marrying but also a brother who outlived him and later had children of his own – the continuation of the Pride-name therefor seems not to be the reason or at least not the only one.

Cadwallader Jones and his descendants are featured in several ancestral books. One example is Jones great-grandson, Wilie Jones:

Sons of the American Revolution, Bulletin – Sons of the American Revolution, Volume 18, Michigan, 1923, p. 97.

Prayer for Help and Thanksgiving for It

A Psalm of David.

1 A Psalm of David. To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock: Do not be silent to me, Lest, if You are silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. 2 Hear the voice of my supplications When I cry to You, When I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary. 3 Do not take me away with the wicked And with the workers of iniquity, Who speak peace to their neighbors, But evil is in their hearts. 4 Give them according to their deeds, And according to the wickedness of their endeavors; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them what they deserve. 5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord, Nor the operation of His hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up. 6 Blessed be the Lord, Because He has heard the voice of my supplications! 7 The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him. 8 The Lord is their strength, And He is the saving refuge of His anointed. 9 Save Your people, And bless Your inheritance; Shepherd them also, And bear them up forever. — Psalm 28 | New King James Version (NKJV) The Holy Bible; New King James Version®.

Grandpa Michael is out here looking like a well-aged snack.

Genetics in Sims 4 is fun. Victor looks so much like his grandfather, it's shocking. In fact, Michael, his son Thomas and grandson Victor are practically clones.

Here are three generations of Nelson men:
