Personal comment: A few days ago, I was blessed to view a rare full glorious giant rainbow in the local sky, an Old Testament  heavenly sign and promise that God wants our human repentance, and that He condescends to our fallen nature,  and that He does nowish to destroy us or the world, which He created, in His Divine forbearance and endless LOVE. Let each of us individually REPENT, of offending His generosity and goodness, and make our daily journey to return to our Father's House, and fall down before Him, in tears and contrition of heart and soul, and say:

"Father, forgive me! for I have sinned before heaven and Thee,  and  am no longer worthy to be called Thy son, but take me, as a hired servant, back into Thy household!"

Returning to God, The Divine Economy is the entire aim and goal of the Life in Christ, THEOSIS, -UNION WITH GOD, what it truly means: 'to be a Christian', a full and true human being, made in God's Holy Image; sorrow for our sins, returning to God, and receiving His welcome back.

(Dumb human-question: But what would a squirrel do with any toilet paper?: eat it?, with or without ketchup.. or mustard?)





The coronavirus pandemic has upended nearly every facet of day-to-day life, including causing people to panic-buy groceries and household goods. One photographer has taken hilarious photos of a squirrel replicating the panic-buying, using props he bought online.

Twenty-six-year-old Jeffrey Wang said he felt "bombarded" by the news over the pandemic, which has affected over 1.2 million people around the world and used props, including a trolley/shopping cart in the US,  and some hazelnuts, to get the squirrel to play along, British news agency SWNS reports.

“Every single day we’re being bombarded with virus news and all the impact it’s having with people stockpiling groceries," Wang said, adding he got lucky with these particular photos.

“I got the trolley from eBay for about [$3.69] and I already had a 2 [kilogram] box of hazelnuts," Wang added. “I think it’s the same squirrel I’ve been familiar with, it likes hazelnuts the most. I know if I leave them out it’ll come running."

“I started taking pictures of squirrels last year and that’s the first time I’ve used props," the amateur photographer explained.  “Usually I just take pictures of squirrels naturally doing their own thing, but that was just an idea I had."

Wang said he was able to get within 10 feet of the squirrel before he snapped the images. “I know a spot that particular squirrel roams and I’ll go along, leave them and in about half-an-hour it’ll come and go and each time I’ll move closer," he said. “It gets comfortable with me being around."

He continued: “It tends to approach from the same direction each time and I used it to my advantage and angled the trolley in the direction it was coming from - I wanted it to look like it was pushing the trolley," he continued. "The toilet roll was the harder one. With the trolley one it was easier for it to see the nuts, but within the toilet roll it can’t see it, so I put the nuts on the ground next to the loo roll and it took one at a time.”
