Yes, iPhones can be hacked using Wi-Fi 5G12345. A new AirPlay flaw could allow hackers to deploy malware through Wi-Fi networks, even on fully updated devices1. Researchers have revealed a flaw that allowed Apple iPhones to be hacked from afar without the owner doing anything2. A serious and dangerous "zero-click" flaw was silently embedded into the iOS 14.4 software, which contributes to the iPhone hack4.

Charlie Helps with the Rose Gardens

 

"You don't need more roses." That has become a popular bit of humor, because every year is more fascinating. Charlie and I went out to the backyard gardens today to get ready for Mother's Day. Hint - flowers cannot be overdone. We checked the front yard as well.

Charlie is the type of dog that will seem to be gone when she is carefully behind me. Chopping weeds is a lot more interesting with a companion alert for everything. Several roses were a bit dry, so we hauled more rain water to the stressed plants. When Charlie is thirsty, she takes one lick from a source and suggests a fresh pan, bowl, and kiddy swimming pool. The more birds we get, the worse the water is. A sip of water is like a watercooler to her, and she waits for the hose to fix up all the supplies. Four sources are just what she wants before the others take over.

This is an overwhelming year for roses. The gardening center had plenty of David Austin (Engish) roses and God provided a lot of rain. Knockout roses were very colorful and David Austin beyond all dreams - fragrance, colors, pale colors, multi-colors, strong colors, large blooms, tiny delicate and perfect flowers.

The Enchanted Peace rose above - the plant grows easily to six feet tall, produces prolifically, and repeats quickly. Shipped and gardening centers say them fly out the door.

Below are Chicago Peace, Pink Peace, and Peace - in that order.

How Do the Waltherian Cults Justify Their False Doctrine?How Do They Hide Their Shame?

 

Daily Luther Sermon Quote - Easter 3 - Jubilate - "Why does God do this and permit his own to be persecuted and hounded? In order to suppress and subdue the free will, so that it may not seek an expedient in their works; but rather become a fool in God's works and learn thereby to trust and depend upon God alone. I8. Therefore when this now comes to pass, we shall not be able to accommodate ourselves to it, and shall not understand it, unless Christ himself awakens us and makes us cheerful, so that his resurrection becomes effective in us, and all our works fall to pieces and be as nothing. Therefore the text here concludes powerfully, that man is absolutely nothing in his own strength."

 

Robert Preus quoted this in his now ignored Justification and Rome.

Bob's sons edited the book and then forgot it was ever printed.

Luther's Sermons - John 16:16-23.
Jubilate. Third Sunday after Easter

B. This Sermon Of Comfort Explained.

15. All this is presented to us in our Gospel, but since the disciples could not understand what he meant in that he said "A little while" and he noticed that they were desirous to ask him, he continues and explains it to them in these simple words and says,

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice; ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy."

16. This is spoken to all Christians, for every Christian must have temptations, trials, anxieties, adversities, sorrows, come what may. Therefore he mentions here no sorrow nor trial, he simply says they shall weep, lament, and be sorrowful, for the Christian has many persecutions. Some are suffering loss of goods; others there are whose character is suffering ignominy and scorn; some are drowned, others are burned; some are beheaded; one perishes in this manner, and another in that; it is therefore the lot of the Christian constantly to suffer misfortune, persecution, trials and adversity. This is the rod or fox tail with which they are punished. They dare not look for anything better as long as they are here. This is the court color by which the Christian is recognized, and if anyone wants to be a Christian, he dare not be ashamed of his court color or livery.

17. Why does God do this and permit his own to be persecuted and hounded? In order to suppress and subdue the free will, so that it may not seek an expedient in their works; but rather become a fool in God's works and learn thereby to trust and depend upon God alone.

I8. Therefore when this now comes to pass, we shall not be able to accommodate ourselves to it, and shall not understand it, unless Christ himself awakens us and makes us cheerful, so that his resurrection becomes effective in us, and all our works fall to pieces and be as nothing. Therefore the text here concludes powerfully, that man is absolutely nothing in his own strength. Here everything is condemned and thrust down that has been and may still be preached about good works; for this is the conclusion; where Christ is not, there is nothing. Ask St. Peter how he was disposed when Christ was not with him. What good works did he do? He denied Christ. He renounced him with an oath. Like good works we do, when we have not Christ with us.

19. Thus all serves to the end that we should accustom ourselves to build alone upon Christ, and to depend upon no other work, upon no other creature, whether in heaven or upon earth. In this name alone are we preserved and blessed, and in none other. Acts 4, 12 and 10, 43. But on this account we must suffer much. The worst of all is, that we must not only suffer shame, persecution and death; but that the world rejoices because of our great loss and misfortunes. This is indeed very hard and bitter. Surely it shall thus come to pass, for the world will rejoice when it goes ill with us; but this comfort we have that their joy shall not last long, and our sorrow shall be turned into eternal joy. Of this the Lord gives us a beautiful parable of the woman in travail, when he says:

"A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come, but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish for joy that a man is born into the world."
