Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator.

This is Kenny. He’s a white tiger with down syndrome.
He is so precious!!!!!
Holy shit I didn’t know animals got Down Syndrome
most people don’t know that white tigers are inbred the shit out of and a lot of them end up with deformities much like this.
still beautiful ❤
LMAO OMg this is horrible but I had a feeling it had Down.
Calling out the bullish!t of the OP. Kenny did not have Down syndrome, he was selectively inbred by the owners so that they could make profit and didnt have to buy more tigers in order to have them breed. When he was born with a deformity (it is not Down syndrome) the owners were planning to put him down but Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge stepped in and rescued the whole family. Kenny is now dead but the mother is still alive. All you had to do is a little research on google to find this out instead of making assumptions and presuming it was DS. people from Turpentine Creek and the local community are even writing posts and article against the stories and social media posts claiming he has Down.
Do not give your heart to that which does not satisfy your heart.

Another Classic from Fr Andrew.
He is right too, much respect to Pope Benedict for his writings and generally more open attitude to the study of Patristics over reintention and his emphasis on return to tradition in Rome. May God Grant him many years.

The three Egyptian churches have excused themselves from the televised national dialogue session called for by President Mohamed Morsy for Tuesday.
Bishop Andrea Zaki, head of the Coptic Evangelical Church, told the state news agency MENA that the Coptic Catholic, Orthodox and Evangelical Churches had decided not to attend the session, but were calling for holding another private session with the president to address their concerns about a number of constitutional articles.
Zaki said that the suggestions and concerns presented by the three churches representatives during the previous dialogue sessions were not taken seriously by the presidency.
“We are convinced that such dialogues yield nothing new. That’s why the churches representatives withdrew from the previous dialogue session,” he added.
“Although we will not be attending the session today, we pray to God that it succeeds so that the country can overcome the current crisis,” Zaki.
In a pre-recorded interview, televised in the early hours of Monday morning, Morsy called on 24 political parties, 20 public figures, representatives of the three churches, Azhar, April 6 Youth Movement and Kefaya to attend the session which is scheduled to begin at take place at 5 pm.
But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry. So he prayed to the Lord, and said, “Ah, Lord, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm. Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!”
Then the Lord said, “Is it right for you to be angry?”
So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city. And the Lord God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant.
But as morning dawned the next day God prepared a worm, and it so damaged the plant that it withered. And it happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah’s head, so that he grew faint. Then he wished death for himself, and said, “It is better for me to die than to live.”
Then God said to Jonah, “Is it right for you to be angry about the plant?”
And he said, “It is right for me to be angry, even to death!”
But the Lord said, “You have had pity on the plant for which you have not labored, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night. And should I not pity Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between their right hand and their left—and much livestock?”
Whoever wishes to see God must try to purify his heart by constantly thinking of God.

Um…ok. I don’t eat peas but will answer for general small things.
i usually have the fork with the tines flat and use the knife to push the contents on to it. Certainly not tines down as that creates an angular edge and thus negates the point of having a surface to move them onto in the first place.
