Christmas, the holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, is celebrated by a majority of Christians world wide on December 25 in the Gregorian calendar.
* But who is Santa? I was very excited after I read about Santa Clause! Yes, December 6th is Saint Nicholas Day, a Christian holiday that celebrates the life of a third-century saint who inspired the modern-day Santa Claus:
Saint Nicholas. A Greek bishop known for his generosity, especially towards children. He was known to give away his possessions to the poor and serve the sick and suffering.

● Most popular tradition
The story behind children leaving their shoes or stockings out by the door or fireplace in the hopes of receiving a gift from Saint Nicholas:
● Traditionally, families left their shoes by the fires at night so that they could dry from rain and snow in the winter. St. Nicholas left gold coins to appear in the poor shoes, drying by the fire.
● While St. Nicholas Day is not to be confused with Christmas, his birthday in December also like Jesus. He was born December 6th while Jesus was born December 25 and their birthdays have been celebrated almost together. So have fun and have yourself a Merry Christmas ! Cheers!

Powerful Prayers!

Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.
Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.
Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord chase them.
Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the Lord persecute them.
For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.
And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation.
All my bones shall say, Lord, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?
False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.
They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.
But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the "witches".
I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
This thou hast seen, O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.

In the name of Jesus, I bind and break witchcraft, mind-bending spirits, spirits that block and bind will. I bind and break all rebellion, rejection, anger, hatred, bitterness, malice, slander, resentment, pride, dissension, distraction, perversion, and deception. God, may my sacrifice of today of fasting remind me of my dependence on God only for all the blessings I enjoy. Amen.”

I decided to watch "The passion of Christ" tonight. I loved it! Well, I haven't seen any of all the great things he has done like: Jesus turns water into wine: Jesus turned water into wine at Cana in Galilee. Jesus walks on water: Jesus walked on water, which convinced his disciples that he was the Son of God. Jesus casts out demons: Jesus cast out demons from many people. Why is that? Is there a sequel? For the great producer/director Mel Gibson, what if the sequel is only about his miracles and what if he wasn't crucified. Would we his believers been in heaven now. Sigh. That would have been great!

Yes, according to the Bible, angels witnessed Jesus' resurrection on the third day after his death. Jesus appearing to his mother is a common and cherished belief.

"Imagine" is a song by English rock musician John Lennon from his 1971 album of the same name. The best-selling single of his solo career, its lyrics encourage the listener to imagine a world at peace without the barriers of borders or the divisions of religion and nationality and to consider the possibility that the whole of humanity would live unattached to material possessions. Shortly before his death, Lennon said that much of the song's lyric and content came from his wife Yoko Ono, and in 2017, she received a co-writing credit with him. In October, Lennon released "Imagine" as a single in the United States, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.

Harry Nilsson III was an American singer-songwriter who achieved the peak of his commercial success in the early 1970s.

The craft of his songs and the defiant attitude he projected remains a touchstone for later generations of indie rock musicians.

SUMMERY

“Brilliant writers have combined all Disney villains who have assaulted Renee with witchcraft into 3 evil characters “Mother Gothel” and 2 Thugs. In other words, “Magic Mirror on the wall, the Evil Queen, Ursula, Vanessa, the Twin from the shinning” – all are Mother Gothel and 2 Thugs!” For example: Sophia Psychic is mother Gothel, that makes the Twin form the Shining, the two thugs! Gothel steals from Renee to help the thugs. While Gothel steals from Renee, Ursula and Venessa other 2 thugs came along and were the worst witches. What witches want? While robbing & destroying a person they wish to be themselves, they promote themselves. Meanwhile, Rapunzel is a fiction character created by several entities including Disney & a nonprofit organization, also inspired by Renee Zawawi personality & dilemma battling witches. They have killed her dog to promote themselves. They are very jealous and lack morality. These behaviors are visible even though witches tend to hide it or commit these crimes from underneath. There is no escape, we always say it at the end.

Here is some incredible similarities and differences between Disney Rapunzel character and Saint Renee Zawawi who is a real lifetime princess. Repunzel was abducted by a witch who have used her hair to keep young. Unfortunately, Rapunzel lived isolated in a faraway tower. While Rapunzel had the power to heal the sick with her hair, her boyfriend, Flynn had to cut it a the end to free her from the wicked witch. In real life, while Renee was pursuing her passion in the arts and music, she was robbed, injured, assaulted by witchcraft group in LA county. They have used Renee's natural talents gifted 'Vision" to make themselves stars. Unfortunately Renee's dreams turned into night mares literally where she became severely ill while witches kept her captive. Witches kept attacking Renee's wellbeing in an attempt to steal her life. After major suffering, Renee finally healed herself with reading the bible. Renee has cut ties with witches completely to free herself from those witches who have fallen out of grace. Renee doesn't need witches in her life and they have to respect that and stop stealing & feuding, it's not doing any one any good and she isn't going to change her mind to be friend with them. Here is why they shouldn’t feud with Renee: Renee is an artist. She minds her own life. She lives her own life and feuding persons are not part of it even though they are interested, she isn’t interested. Beside the fact Renee Zawawi has her own life, she has her own fan base since she was young, she also has friends all around the world, including celebrity friends Taylor Swift, Margot Robbie, Lilly Gladstone and Miley Cyrus. They are aware of her situation and always reaching out to keep in touch.

International Music Day

9/1/2024

International Music Day is observed on October 1, a date established by International Music Council in 1975 to celebrate the diverse expressions and global significance of music.

The Doors were an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore. They were among the most controversial and influential rock acts of the 1960s, mostly because of Morrison's lyrics and voice along with his erratic stage persona, and the group was widely regarded as an important part of the era's counterculture.

The band took its name from the title of Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception, itself a reference to a quote by William Blake. After signing with Elektra Records, the Doors with Morrison released six albums in five years, some of which are considered among the greatest of all time, including The Doors (1967). Strange Days (1967) and L.A. Woman(1971). They were one of the most successful bands during that time and by 1972 the Doors had sold over 4 million albums domestically and nearly 8 million singles.

Morrison died in uncertain circumstances in 1971. Morrison is regarded by music critics and fans as one of the most iconic and influential frontmen in rock history. Since his death, his fame has endured as one of popular culture's most rebellious and oft-displayed icons, representing the generation gap and youth counterculture. Morrison was also well known for improvising spoken word poetry passages while the band played live. Morrison was ranked number 47 on Rolling Stone's list of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" and number 22 on Classic Rock magazine's "50 Greatest Singers in Rock". Manzarek said Morrison "embodied hippie counterculture rebellion.

The band continued as a trio until disbanding in 1973.They released three more albums in the 1970s, two of which featured earlier recordings by Morrison, and over the decades reunited on stage in various configurations. In 2002, Manzarek, Krieger and Ian Astbury of the Cult on vocals started performing as the Doors of the 21st Century. Densmore and the Morrison estate successfully sued them over the use of the band's name. After a short time as Riders on the Storm, they settled on the name Manzarek–Krieger and toured until Manzarek's death in 2013.

The Doors were the first American band to accumulate eight consecutive gold LPs. According to the RIAA, they have sold 33 million records in the US and over 100 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. The Doors have been listed as one of the greatest artists of all time by magazines including Rolling Stone, which ranked them 41st on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".[16] In 1993, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Queen are a British rock band formed in London in 1970. Their classic line-up was Freddie Mercury (lead vocals, piano), Brian May (guitar, vocals), Roger Taylor (drums, vocals) and John Deacon (bass). Their earliest works were influenced by progressive rock, hard rock and heavy metal, but the band gradually ventured into more conventional and radio-friendly works by incorporating further styles, such as arena rock and pop rock.

Before forming Queen, May and Taylor had played together in the band Smile. Mercury was a fan of Smile and encouraged them to experiment with more elaborate stage and recording techniques. He joined in 1970 and suggested the name "Queen". Deacon was recruited in March 1971, before the band released their eponymous debut album in 1973. Queen first charted in the UK with their second album, Queen II, in 1974. Sheer Heart Attack later that year and A Night at the Opera in 1975 brought them international success. The latter featured "Bohemian Rhapsody", which stayed at number one in the UK for nine weeks and helped popularise the music video format.

The band's 1977 album News of the World contained "We Will Rock You" and "We Are the Champions", which have become anthems at sporting events. By the early 1980s, Queen were one of the biggest stadium rock bands in the world. "Another One Bites the Dust" (1980) became their best-selling single, while their 1981 compilation album Greatest Hits is the best-selling album in the UK and is certified eight times platinum in the US. Their performance at the 1985 Live Aid concert has been ranked among the greatest in rock history by various publications. In August 1986, Mercury gave his last performance with Queen at Knebworth, England. In 1991, he died of bronchopneumonia – a complication of AIDS, and Deacon retired in 1997. Since 2004, May and Taylor have toured under the "Queen +" name with vocalists Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert.

Estimates of Queen's record sales range from 170 million to 300 million records, making them one of the world's best-selling music artists. In 1990, Queen received the Brit Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music from the British Phonographic Industry. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. Each member has composed hit singles, and all four were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003. In 2005, Queen received the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Song Collection from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors. In 2018, they were presented the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Led Zeppelin were an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The group consisted of vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. With their heavy, guitar-driven sound, they are regularly cited as one of the progenitors of heavy metal, although their style drew from a variety of influences, including blues and folk music.

After changing their name from the New Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin signed a deal with Atlantic Records that afforded them considerable artistic freedom. Although the group were initially unpopular with critics, they achieved significant commercial success with eight studio albums released over ten years, from Led Zeppelin (1969) to In Through the Out Door (1979). Their untitled fourth studio album, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV (1971), and featuring the song "Stairway to Heaven", is among the most popular and influential works in rock music, and helped to secure the group's popularity.

Page wrote most of Led Zeppelin's music, particularly early in their career, while Plant generally supplied the lyrics. Jones's keyboard-based compositions later became central to the group's catalogue, which featured increasing experimentation. The latter half of their career saw a series of record-breaking tours that earned the group a reputation for excess and debauchery. Although they remained commercially and critically successful, their output and touring schedule were limited during the late 1970s, and the group disbanded following Bonham's death from alcohol-related asphyxia in 1980. In the decades that followed, the former members sporadically collaborated and participated in one-off Led Zeppelin reunions. The most successful of these was the 2007 Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert in London, with Bonham's son Jason Bonham on drums.

Many critics consider Led Zeppelin one of the most successful, innovative, and influential rock groups in history. They are one of the best-selling music artists in the history of audio recording; various sources estimate the group's record sales at 200 to 300 million units worldwide. With RIAA-certified sales of 111.5 million units, they are the third-best-selling band and fifth-best-selling act in the US. Each of their nine studio albums placed in the top 10 of the Billboard album chart and six reached the number-one spot. They achieved eight consecutive UK number-one albums. Rolling Stone magazine described them as "the heaviest band of all time", "the biggest band of the Seventies", and "unquestionably one of the most enduring bands in rock history". They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995; the museum's biography of the band states that they were "as influential" during the 1970s as the Beatles were during the 1960s.
