Peanuts and corn: a revision

A brief instructional rant:🙊🙈🙉
Peanuts are not a good source of protein. Please World, stop saying this. At 71% fat, 16% protein , 12% carbs, with the remainder minerals and vitamins, peanuts are only a good source of healthy fats. If you ate only peanuts, you would not get enough protein
Corn is a grain. One thing is for sure: corn is never a vegetable. It is always a grain. You would not serve rice, bulgar, or oats as a vegetable.  While you could think of sweet corn as a fruit, and that would be closer to accurate than considering it a vegetable, it is still inaccurate as a whole because it is still a grain.

Please revise discussions and perceptions appropriately. Thank you for your time.

We your servants bless you, O God, as we stand by night in your house.
We lift up our hands towards the holy place, and give you thanks and praise.
Bless us from all places where you dwell, O God, creator of the heavens and the earth.

Levavi Oculos

I lift up my eyes to the hills; from where is my help to come?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot be moved and he who watches over you will not fall asleep.
Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep;
The Lord himself watches over you; the Lord is your shade at your right hand,
So that the sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; it is he who shall keep you safe.
The Lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time forth for evermore.

I got a few new albums of music for Christmas (amazon gift card). I haven't bought music in a while. New music makes me feel eighteen again.

so far, it looks like it was the right thing to do. proud of this decision: despite that I continue to miss my old job, new job is great.

In April, I got laid off from a job I loved. They offered me my job back, and I declined. One of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make. Hope I'm doing the right thing.

life changes pretty quick

lots of work changes in the last few months, with no indication of finality or closure on the horizon. also, decided to try and upgrade some of the electrical systems in our house. not successful (yet). The kid is starting to seriously talk, two syllable words are his new forte. life is good, albeit frustrating.
