A reading from the Gospel according to Luke
Glory to you, O Lord
Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a narration of the things that have been accomplished among us;
According as they have delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word:
It seemed good to me also, having diligently attained to all things from the beginning, to write to thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
That thou mayest know the verity of those words in which thou hast been instructed.
There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zachary, of the course of Abia; and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name Elizabeth.
And they were both just before God, walking in all the commandments and justifications of the Lord without blame.
And they had no son, for that Elizabeth was barren, and they both were well advanced in years.
And it came to pass, when he executed the priestly function in the order of his course before God,
According to the custom of the priestly office, it was his lot to offer incense, going into the temple of the Lord.
And all the multitude of the people was praying without, at the hour of incense.
And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord, standing on the right side of the alter of incense.
And Zachary seeing him, was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
But the angel said to him: Fear not, Zachary, for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John:
And thou shalt have joy and gladness, and many shall rejoice in his nativity.
For he shall be great before the Lord; and shall drink no wine nor strong drink: and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
And he shall convert many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias; that he may turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the incredulous to the wisdom of the just, to prepare unto the Lord a perfect people.
And Zachary said to the angel: Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.
And the angel answering, said to him: I am Gabriel, who stand before God: and am sent to speak to thee, and to bring thee these good tidings.
And behold, thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be able to speak until the day wherein these things shall come to pass, because thou hast not believed my words, which shall be fulfilled in their time.
And the people were waiting for Zachary; and they wondered that he tarried so long in the temple.
And when he came out, he could not speak to them: and they understood that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he made signs to them, and remained dumb.
And it came to pass, after the days of his office were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
And after those days, Elizabeth his wife conceived, and hid herself five months, saying:
Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he hath had regard to take away my reproach among men.
And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth,
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be.
And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God.
Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and shalt bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name Jesus.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the most High; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of David his father; and he shall reign in the house of Jacob for ever.
And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
And Mary said to the angel: How shall this be done, because I know not man?
And the angel answering, said to her: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the most High shall overshadow thee. And therefore also the Holy which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
And behold thy cousin Elizabeth, she also hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her that is called barren:
Because no word shall be impossible with God.
And Mary said: Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it done to me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
And Mary rising up in those days, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda.
And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth.
And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.
And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name.
And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy:
As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
And Mary abode with her about three months; and she returned to her own house.
Now Elizabeth's full time of being delivered was come, and she brought forth a son.
And her neighbours and kinsfolks heard that the Lord had shewed his great mercy towards her, and they congratulated with her.
And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they called him by his father's name Zachary.
And his mother answering, said: Not so; but he shall be called John.
And they said to her: There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
And demanding a writing table, he wrote, saying: John is his name. And they all wondered.
And immediately his mouth was opened, and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, blessing God.
And fear came upon all their neighbours; and all these things were noised abroad over all the hill country of Judea.
And all they that had heard them laid them up in their heart, saying: What an one, think ye, shall this child be? For the hand of the Lord was with him.
And Zachary his father was filled with the Holy Ghost; and he prophesied, saying:
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:
And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:
As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning:
Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us:
To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,
The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,
That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
In holiness and justice before him, all our days.
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:
To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins:
Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:
To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.
And the child grew, and was strengthened in spirit; and was in the deserts until the day of his manifestation to Israel.

https://nypost.com/.../mistrial-declared-in-cliven-bundys-armed-standoff-with-feds/
21 hours ago - LAS VEGAS — A federal judge on Wednesday declared a mistrial in the criminal case of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who led a 2014 armed standoff with US government agents in a rangeland dispute, and tentatively set a new trial date for February. ... US District Judge Gloria Navarro ...
Missing: href
A federal judge declared a mistrial Wednesday in the case involving Cliven Bundy and two of his sons after she found that prosecutors “willfully” failed to turn over evidence related to an armed standoff three years ago.
U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro pointed to several violations of the Brady rule — which requires prosecutors to disclose evidence that could be favorable to a defendant. She then called in jurors and dismissed them.
“It was not possible to go forward with the case,” Navarro told the jurors.
The ruling marked yet another setback for federal prosecutors, who have struggled to obtain convictions against the Bundy family and its supporters. The cases have become a rallying point for those who believe the federal government has overstepped its authority by controlling public lands operated by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
A spokeswoman with the U.S. attorney’s office said it had no comment on Navarro’s decision.
Prosecutors have the opportunity to retry the case, and the judge told both sides to submit briefs by Dec. 29. Navarro told the packed courtroom she would also rule on whether it would be a mistrial with prejudice. That decision would effectively end the possibility of a new trial for Bundy, sons Ammon and Ryan and supporter Ryan Payne.
The federal government alleged that Bundy and his two sons escalated tensions after refusing court orders to remove cattle from public lands — ultimately leading to an armed standoff with federal law enforcement officials in April 2014 outside Bunkerville, Nev.
The four defendants were charged with threatening a federal officer, carrying and using a firearm and engaging in conspiracy — all felony counts that could send them to prison for decades.
The government was removing cattle after Cliven Bundy had refused to pay grazing fees to the BLM dating back to the 1990s. The standoff ended after federal authorities backed down, saying they feared for their lives. About 400 Bundy supporters, many with guns, took part in the standoff. The incident briefly forced the closure of a segment of Interstate 15 near Mesquite.
Cliven Bundy, the 71-year-old rancher, sat in the quiet courtroom as Navarro read off instances in which the federal government didn't reveal information in a timely manner that she said would’ve helped the defense.
Outside the courthouse, Ryan Bundy said that with each reading of a Brady violation, he felt snowballing satisfaction. But he said he doesn’t believe the government will give up easily.
“They are kind of determined folks, but I don’t think they have a prayer,” he said. “They have gone forward and further embarrassed themselves.”
Up until Wednesday’s decision, the trial had been engaged in fits and starts and, in recent weeks, jurors were rarely in the courtroom as lawyers worked under seal. Jurors had been seated in early November; opening arguments weren’t heard until Nov. 14. Defense lawyers claimed early on that evidence had been withheld by the prosecution; that set in motion a series of delays and sealed hearings.
Navarro on Wednesday ticked off several things prosecutors she said were willfully withheld from defense lawyers leading up to the trial, including key documents related to possible snipers outside the Bundy ranch and the existence of a surveillance camera at the ranch.
Ian Bartrum, a constitutional law professor at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, has been following the legal fights involving the Bundys and said Navarro’s use of the word “willful” makes a dismissal with prejudice a real possibility.
“I think the government has acted very strangely in this case,” Bartrum said. “They could retry, but they’ve been trying and retrying now for awhile and at some point it becomes a matter of diminishing returns.”
If there is another trial, Navarro set a date for Feb. 26.
The case twisted and turned with surprises leading up to Wednesday’s mistrial. The government lost its bid to keep the defendants locked up when Navarro granted Cliven Bundy’s sons and Payne pre-trial release in late November so they could better prepare their case and be at home with their families. Cliven Bundy has remained jailed at a prison in Pahrump.
After Navarro declared a mistrial, Ryan Bundy asked for his release with a promise to appear in court if a new trial is set, but Navarro told him he would have to make the request through the pretrial office. Morgan Philpot, Ammon Bundy’s lawyer, said he would file a request of release with no conditions within the next day.
Bret Whipple, Cliven Bundy’s lawyer, said he also would seek an emergency request to have his client released. He said, however, the release would have to be with no conditions.
“He doesn’t believe he should be cutting a deal with anyone since he didn’t do anything wrong,” Whipple said.
The stakes have been high for the federal government, which has struggled to obtain convictions in cases involving the Bundy family and their cohorts.
Twice this year, Las Vegas juries acquitted or deadlocked on multiple felony charges against Bundy supporters.
Ammon Bundy, 42, and Ryan Bundy, 44, were acquitted on similar federal felony charges related to their roles in a 41-day standoff at an Oregon wildlife preserve in 2016.
Cliven Bundy is revered among those who believe the federal government abuses its authority, and supporters gathered outside the courthouse most mornings when court was in session. “Today is a great day,” one supporter yelled Wednesday.
As Ammon and Ryan Bundy and Payne emerged from the courthouse on Wednesday, supporters applauded.
Carol Bundy, Cliven’s wife, said the judge “gave us hope.”
Wearing his cowboy hat and surrounded by a crush of cameras and well-wishers, Ammon Bundy said even if the government decided to retry the case, he felt confident.
“I do not believe there is a jury in this country that will convict us,” he said. “The truth is on our side.”
The thread was ignored. Just don't bother.

Verse of the Day for Saturday, December 23, 2017:
While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. â Luke 2:6-7
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
Jesus entered our world in the most normal of ways for a child: the time came, his mother gave birth, he was wrapped in soft cloth, and placed in a crib. Only this was the Son of God who was born. His crib was a corncrib where animals ate, not a baby's crib. His room was a stable because there was no room for him. It wasn't just normal; it was common, even below average conditions for his birth. Can you imagine? The Holy God who created everything enters our world as a baby to share our way of life as one of us. Why? He loves us and wants us to come home to him. Incredible! Incredible story. Incredible love. Incredible God!
My Prayer...
O LORD God Almighty, how can I ever show you how much the gift of your Son means to me? I am struck with wonder and joy that you should love me in this incredible way. Please accept my praise and adoration for both you and your Son. Praise to you, loving Father, for your indescribable gift! In Jesus' name. Amen.

While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. â Luke 2:6-7
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
Jesus entered our world in the most normal of ways for a child: the time came, his mother gave birth, he was wrapped in soft cloth, and placed in a crib. Only this was the Son of God who was born. His crib was a corncrib where animals ate, not a baby's crib. His room was a stable because there was no room for him. It wasn't just normal; it was common, even below average conditions for his birth. Can you imagine? The Holy God who created everything enters our world as a baby to share our way of life as one of us. Why? He loves us and wants us to come home to him. Incredible! Incredible story. Incredible love. Incredible God!

A Season for Christians to stand up and be counted.
“Think of the 'threatening' possibilities if Mr. Finicum would have reached his destination?
He probably would have spoken to the crowd gathered to hear him.
Why wasn't the Agent/Officer charged? Who planned the ambush? What instructions were given the
Agents/Officers prior to the Execution? Who are they protecting?
What's 'Dirty Harry' Reid and Hitlary's part?
Where's the Washington ComPost?
Where's the outrage of the Progressive Fascist pretending to be liberals defending human rights?
Where's the outrage of the 2 Party Politicians?
Where's the outrage of our citizens?
Just an added note from Wikipedia, prior to the occupation, Finicum operated a foster home for troubled boys near Chino Valley, Arizona. If there was anything unscrupulous on Mr. Finicum's part or a rumor, the Washington ComPost would have dispatched a team of reporters (or their lackeys).
It was a clear cut Execution of an innocent man who poised no threat or harm.” - PulletSurprise
Thanks again, eagleye13, for sharing.
Every one that cares which direction our Republic takes; should copy, paste, and spread the light on this very important win against tyranny.
One patriot, LaVoy Finnicum, was ambushed and murdered in the woods, on his way to a community meeting, that had a sheriff in attendance.

I watched the video, before "they" started to take it down everywhere, at least a dozen times.
LaVoy was hit with a taser on his left side by a state cop.
He went to grab the side where the prongs hit him....a natural reaction when one is in pain.
The "cop" then throws down the taser and draws his gun at the same time the mercenaries with FBI jackets began to riddle him with bullets while saying "he has a gun, he has a gun".
There was no gun.
Both female family members who were still in his truck watching his execution stated that since he was going to speak with the sheriff, he left his firearms behind.....yet of coarse "they" claimed to find a pistol since one cannot justify an "execution" without cause. When this supposed pistol was on record, family members immediately stated that LaVoy didn't even own that particular model.
This will be buried forever unless "We The People" take back our country as well as the corrupt gov.

Verse of the Day for Sunday, December 24, 2017:
But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people." â Luke 2:10
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
Don't be afraid! What can cast away all fear in the presence of God's glorious messengers? The joy of knowing that God has come to earth to bring an end to sin and Satan's curse and to bring salvation to all people! Fear must not master our hearts when we know that God has broken through every barrier to reach us with his overwhelming grace.
My Prayer...
I praise you, Almighty God, for the gift of joy that chases away all fear. Fill my heart with that joy and fill my mind with wonder as I try to comprehend your love for me. Stir me to greater concern for those who have not heard, or who have not yet accepted, your offer of grace in your Son Jesus, in whose name I pray. Amen.
