Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

That’s how our honest judges, law enforcement and politicians SHOULD be reacting to all these coup plotters attacking President Trump and the good citizens of our nation!

I was challenged to eat highly poisonous puffer fish in Osaka. After listening to a Japanese band that perfectly imitated the Beatles, I said why not?
Lived to tell the tale. ?
Roger that, fugu rocks! I was told, many years ago when we went to a fugu restaurant, that in the olden days if the chef who prepared it for a customer who died could be himself killed or, in a more tolerant vase, have the hand that prepared the fugu cut off.
I’ve always wondered who was the first person to figure out how to prepare it, and how many before him didn’t?
The final test at the state-recognized school where Japanese fugu tests train really eliminates the incapable. They have to prepare and eat the fugu.
Wrath or Respite
By Pastor Ricky Kurth
When natural disasters such as hurricanes and tsunamis take their toll in death and destruction, many preachers insist these calamities are the result of the wrath of God on sin, pointing to such verses as Ephesians 5:6, where speaking of the sins of Verses 3-5, Paul says:
“…for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.”
Since the Greek word for “cometh” here is in the present tense, we believe Paul is saying that while God’s wrath is coming, it hasn’t yet arrived. Consider: after the Lord announced that His betrayer was “at hand,” we read that “immediately… cometh Judas” (Mark 14:42,43). However, we know that Judas had not yet arrived, for Verse 45 tells us what happened “as soon as he was come.” You see, the word “cometh” means that something is presently on its way, but the word must be in the past tense for us to understand that whatever is coming has arrived.
While many preachers declared that Hurricane Katrina was God’s wrath on New Orleans for the debauchery of Mardi Gras, others surmised the catastrophe was rather an example of God’s mercy, for thousands more would have died had the levies broken during the storm rather than after. Herein lies the problem in determining what God is doing or not doing by trying to interpret circumstances, which are always subjective and open to speculation. The only sure way of knowing what God is doing is from the Word of God, and God’s Word tells us that even when God was judging men for their sins, the presence of even ten believers in Sodom would have prevented God from destroying it (Gen. 18:23-33).
Surely there were more than ten believers in New Orleans, so when catastrophe struck the city, I don’t know how we can conclude that it was the judgment of God, even if we apply the standard God used in Sodom, which God is not using today under grace. And so while even insurance companies call tornadoes and earthquakes “acts of God,” the Bible asserts that we are living in the dispensation of grace (Eph. 3:2), an age in which God is dispensing grace, not wrath, an age in which mankind is experiencing a respite from His judgment.
But if the reader of this page is not saved, please don’t think you will get away with sin forever. Romans 2:5 describes you as one who “treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath.” You may not have an account with any bank, but you have a sin account with God. His wrath on your sin is not being revealed today, but the day of the “revelation of the righteous judgment of God” is coming. Why not “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).

Ephesians 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Mark 14:42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
43 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
Genesis 18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty’s sake.
30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake.
32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.
33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Romans 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Why Do Bad Things Happen
By Justin Johnson
Too many times God is blamed for the bad things and yet he is rarely thanked for the good things. No matter what happens there is a tendency to ignore God and his gracious provision. This tendency is called rebellion. All humans possess it.
Rebellion is the root cause of the death and suffering that you see around you. It is otherwise known as sin.
The first man Adam rebelled and sinned against God bringing a curse upon the world and death into the human race which God had originally made to live forever (Rom 5:12).
Since the essence of rebellion is in our nature passed down from our father Adam, we continue in self-destructive sinful behavior to this very day.
This behavior multiplied billions of times over creates waves of consequence that sometimes hurts innocent people.
God neither makes those decisions nor delivers the consequences. Individuals make those bad decisions and also reap the consequences (Gal 6:7).
Some religionists would have you believe that the bad events are God’s judgment and the good circumstances are God’s blessings.
Your common sense proves that this is not true in light of the many injustices that remain. But the scripture shows it to be false as well (Rom 5:3).
For despite our low estate and rebellion, God has withheld his judgment and continues to provide a way of salvation and deliverance by his grace.
Listen to what he did while we were his enemies:
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” – Rom 5:8
To redeem us from our wretched condition, God’s blood was shed for humanity as humanity in Jesus Christ.
It is now for the sake of Christ that sinful humanity can receive what it does not deserve in the riches of God’s grace and eternal life.
While the world broils around us in a mire of wrong decisions, God’s grace abounds even more to forgive us of sins and offer us perfect righteousness if we would only trust in the blood of Jesus Christ.
Bad things happen as a result of man’s rebellion in Adam. Good things happen as a result of God’s grace in Jesus Christ.

How Things Work Together for Good
By Justin Johnson
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28
Paul says that all things work together for good. Then we read how he was imprisoned, impaired, and threatened with death.
“In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.” – 2 Cor 11:27
How could Rom 8:28 bring even an ounce of hope to Paul if he had so much bad experience?
This does not sound as if all things were working together for good, but they were.
The Good Life
Paul did not think that the good life was to live the most comfortable happy life he could without struggle, pain, failure, or trouble. The good life is lived according to the purpose and power of God (Phil 1:21).
“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;” – 2 Cor 4:8-9
This sounds like someone with stability, inner strength, and hope.
When trouble was on every side, Paul remembered who he was in Christ, the purpose of God, and the hope he had of eternal glory. These doctrinal truths preserved his mind from being destroyed, distressed, and in despair through his bad circumstances.
All of these spiritual doctrines are unseen. It takes effort to bring them to mind when everything we see around us is terrible.
“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” – 2 Cor 4:18
We may not be able to change our bad circumstance, but we can change our response to it by our understanding of sound doctrine.
Things work together for good if we understand that it is good to live according to the eternal purpose of God.
What We Must Learn
In order for us to experience the hope filled promise of Romans 8:28 we must learn some things.
When our life seems to be a failure and we inhabit the lowest places among men, we learn in Romans 8:17-18 that God promises our future glorification, not as a result of our own works, but the work of Christ in us.
When we find ourselves unable to make payment, we learn in Rom 8:32 that God gives us freely all things as a result of our position as his sons.
When we are charged with sins in our flesh and from our past, we learn in Rom 8:33 that there is nothing that can be charged to us, because the God of the universe has declared us righteous in Christ.
When stones are thrown at us for who we are, what we say, and what we do, we learn in Rom 8:34 that we face no condemnation since we did not procure our salvation, but it was Christ that died and resurrected in our place.
When it seems that everyone wants to separate from us, we learn in Rom 8:37 that nothing shall separate us from the love of Christ.
When we never have enough, we learn to gain by being content (Phil 4:11; 1 Tim 6:8).
When we suffer, we learn that the grace of God is magnified in our body when we are weak (2 Cor 12:9).
When we learn God’s purpose to give us the mind of Christ we can confidently say with Paul in adversity:
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” – Phil 4:13
Strength Through Suffering
Often Rom 8:28 is read with the false hope that God will restore our failed dreams, our failed businesses, or that every bad circumstance has a silver lining.
Instead, Paul is talking about the good that can happen when we allow sound doctrine to work effectually in us.
God’s purpose is not that all our circumstances will be rosy and comfortable, but that he will strengthen us through suffering, failure, distress, pain, and this present evil world.
“According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.” – Phil 1:20
When all is well, we can easily magnify Christ with all our strength. When all is trouble, we see that Christ can still be magnified in us.
Our weakness gives an opportunity for the strength of Christ to show in us, which strength comes from God’s word in us. Our weakness proves the strength of Christ in us.
Either way, through suffering or joy, all things work together for the good of Christ magnified and God glorified.
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” – Rom 8:18

Thank you for this post. I needed to hear /read these verses again, I’ve been going through some tough things/ times.
Good food for my soul . Bless you.
For we know ALL things God works for the good of those who love Him and who have been called according to His purpose….what purpose? Verse 29….to be CONFORMED to the likeness of his SON!!!
I will be satisfied when I awake with your likeness Psalm17:15
No suffering is wasted in Gods hands his Word and Spirit are there for our teaching and encouragement and warning.
But the wrath of God is still coming and he knows how to keep us from that! its purpose is to remove evil.
The democratic party has so many communists as members that it’s downright scary.
Have a blessed Sunday, Treepers. 🙂

Another Leftist Hypocrite: St. Louis County Executive Sam Page Orders Strict Mask Mandates for All Local Citizens Then Is Caught Out in Public Without a Mask

OK, now I get what “taking a cruse” is all about. Wow . . .
She still can croon pretty well despite her age.
Taking a cruise on the QM2 is a bit better than average….it’s the only ship afloat that was designed and built as a full Ocean Liner as opposed to a “cruise ship.”
Sidebar.
My father and grandmother went on a month long trip to Europe in the mid 1960s.
They traveled by Cunard Lines. Took the original Queen Mary from New York to Le Havre then Southampton. We’re scheduled to return on the SS United States but our dumbazz unions struck and the ship was crew less. So Dad and Grandma came back on the Queen Elizabeth. Oh, they traveled via two First Class staterooms both ways. I still have my late fathers diary of the trip. He described every aspect of the QM ship and every meal… The QE was essentially the same but only two funnels.
I was fortunate to travel to New York to see them embark on the Queen Mary. I spent an hour on board touring the ship. Magnificent. Had the largest, deepest sounding air horn I’ve ever heard before or since. I was the last visitor down the gangway before they pulled it back.
I have a funny story. I was asked to give lectures on China and Shanghai on a Royal Viking cruise, all expenses paid, took my family for good measure. It was plying between Asian ports.
We hit a big ass storm outside of Thailand. Everyone was sick as hell, the ship was listing at 45 degrees. I went to my scheduled talk, and a crew member gave me a seasick pill. Me yakking to an empty auditorium. The rest of the day and night, me and the crew were fine, everyone moaning in bed.
Later the folks told me they listened over the ships intercom, and thanked me. A distraction from the heaves.
Later I learned when we docked and went ashore, the crew told me the relatives of Anna Leonowens, of Anna and the King of Siam came onboard with a Thai Prince.They were thrilled. Sorry I missed it grunging around in our Thai port.
Just a story.
My Dad loved the ocean. He was always taking 6 month to 15 month cruises.When he would come into port he would tell us the USA was the most wonderful, free and advanced country of the countries he had been to. Over the years he had been to all the countries at and near all the oceans. He was career Navy.
Your father’s comment about the USA reminds me of what my own dad would say. He never went on a cruise but was assigned to work at various places throughout the world on three to six months assignments. His work involved training local workers to trouble shoot problems with refrigeration units on fishing vessels.
azverano, Growing up I just though all countries were as advanced and civilized as ours, just the type of governments were different. I never thought that having food, indoor plumbing and electricity were luxuries.
I’ve taken countless cruises.. on Ocean liners..
this one was my favorite.. it was a great Builder..
we installed and blew up many platforms with it..
a lot of hard work and sacrifice happened on that ship..
blood sweat and tears..
after The Company closed it was sold to others..
and eventually scrapped..
Impressive!
GROUND REPORT IN BEVERLY HILLS, CA
For many weeks now, there has been a Trump rally in Beverly Hills every Saturday at 3pm, which lasts several hours. I first attended 3 weeks ago, and today was my third. The size of the crowds is growing… today there appeared to be several thousand.
What struck me today, however, is a change in the reaction of people in cars randomly driving by on Santa Monica Blvd. On the two prior Saturdays, the ratio seemed approximately equal of (1) drivers who honked, gave thumbs up, waved or otherwise expressed support, to (2) the number who drove by flipping the middle finger at us or otherwise communicating their opposition/hatred. Today, I and others I spoke with noticed a significant DECLINE in opposition. I only saw a few middle fingers up. This is informal, non-scientific, and merely an untallied “impression”, yet it seems to indicate that a shift might be happening in heavily Democrat Los Angeles.
Awesome report! Thanks!
Thanks for lifting my spirits. I am so fed up listening to how PDJT is “lagging in the polls”, especially from Fox News. This is utter BS!!
This is the honest kind of report of what is happening in this country!
Have a beautiful day!
Gorgeous photos! Thanks for posting them.
You’re welcome, Mac. The trees reflecting on the water…really nice shots.
Here’s an excellent “how-to” article re capturing those scenes…
“How to Photograph Amazing Water Reflections”
https://www.adorama.com/alc/how-to-photograph-amazing-water-reflections
Here we go, everything old is new again.
The MSM’s been avoiding the low-level conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The excuses vary but the conflict’s been going on since WW1 and over the last over-20-years has gone through heated periods. This time the media wants you to believe the war’s just about Armenia’s stubborn refusal to abandon an enclave of Armenian’s inside of Azerbaijan and, to a degree, it is…but what’s really going on under the covers harkens back to the genocidal murder of Armenian Christians by the Ottoman (Moslem Turkey) Empire…a guesstimated 1.5 million Armenian Christians were murdered and that’s conservative. I’ll be generous and tuck the 1988 murder of 200+ Armenian Christians by Turkish Moslems right in with that 1.5-millionish.
Over the last few weeks the fighting’s picked up again with both sides hitting each other with heavy, long-range artillery. Difference this time is that ~95% Christian Armenia’s being attacked by ~96% Moslem Azerbaijan who’s being assisted by ~100% Moslem Turkey….they just can’t seem to get enough of murdering Christians.
The US media’s not directly reporting it but the Russian news services are having fits that Turkey is transporting (at Turkish expense) members of al Quada and other Moslem fundamentalist fighting groups to Azerbaijan to fight (massacre) the Armenians…the Turks are using cutouts.
There are indications that aside from transporting and paying the terrorists, Turkey may well be supplying them with quality weaponry too…just as they did terrorist groups in Syria they wanted to attack the Kurds who’d set up shop in eastern Syria. Turkey and Azerbaijan just may be ginning up a war that would destroy Armenia once and for all.
Russia’s sweating as Turkey setting up thousands of fundamentalist Moslem terrorists right on Russia’s southern border, not only destabilizing the region but potentially setting up yet another fundamentalist terrorist launching site that could send terrorists into Georgia and Russia while assisting fundamentalists in the other old Soviet ‘Stans’. The Turks would have another wildcard to play if the Russians don’t play their ‘Ottoman Empire 2.0’ game. Just when you think it’s over…
Thanks for reporting on this.
No doubt President Trump is aware of the conflict and is being advised frequently.
Putin ought to be able to aid the Armenians, but the US press would jump all over that.
This is worth keeping an eye on….
we better alert Linsey Graham
he’ll want to get arms to the “friendly” rebels
Linsey: “Hey John! … John? … where’d you go? …”
The various DC/Beltway/State intel folks have been on this for some time but I’m betting that the possibility of a misstep creating one helluva mess in the area, not to mention this being smack in the middle of Russia’s area of influence, is keeping us on the sidelines.
“on the sidelines”
where we should be
not our circus, not our monkeys, not our back yard
the proper spelling is “USA”
not “World Police”
I’m divided – on one hand it’s in Russia’s AOR but on the other hand I’m tired of the Democrats giving the murdering Moslem trash the idea that we think it’s OK if they run around wholesale murdering Christians.
If that theme keeps up I wouldn’t be surprised to see bands of domestic, Democrat excused, ISIS marauding through sections of the US someday. You know, like Antifas except with a penchant for goats?
Advantage Armenia. The Christian population in Nagorno-Karabakh have been fighting against Muslims for decades now. They are acutely aware of the Turkish genocide against Armenians and have little expectations that Muslim rule today will much different. As a result, they are a tough bunch of SOBs who will not give up their homes without a fight.
And we should never—ever—underestimate just how tough these folks are. You do not—ever—want to become their enemy because, based on their history, the term “blood fued” in institutionalized in their culture. Which of course is exactly what the Muslims in their typical hubris have done. The bottom line in all of this is that I don’t think these people are going to just give up. Think of the Irish Protestant defense of Londonderry: “No Surrender, No Retreat!” This will not end well.
I’m sure we’ll see the Russians intervene directly or ‘indirectly’, they won’t allow Armenia to fall for a number of reasons. I see their sudden ‘concern’ in their domestic and foreign news outlets as a sign that they’re testing the international waters and warning Azerbaijan.
The Armenians have be aware of Turkish desires to exterminate them, it’s been ongoing since the early 1890s, but more importantly both the Azerbaijanis and Armenians know the Christian West’s lack of desire to do anything about the Turkish massacres of Armenian Christians a hundred years ago…right up to recently the US wasn’t even willing to admit the massacres were genocide. The Azerbaijanis and their Turkish enablers are also acutely aware of the West weak response to ISIS’s attempts to wipe all Mideast Christians off of the face of the earth.
The Armenians are caught in a bad spot, their deep in Moslem territory, they know that the West wouldn’t help them decades before the various interested parties had the ‘oil lever’, and now they’re looking at Europe being invaded by the Mideast infection while the US is facing the potential election of a Democratic team that will pursue the Obama Doctrine of ‘allow the Moslems kill ’em all and let Allah sort ’em out’. Oh yeah, and Old Joe and family seem to have fingers in the oil interests too.
Watch Russia and Georgia, they have the most to lose and I see them taking the lead here. How openly active they will be I’m betting will depend on how willing they are to irritate the fundamentalists in the ‘Stans. Russia doesn’t want to see a Moslem Armenia and the Georgians will react full-tilt if Armenia is attacked, they can’t afford not to. I’m waiting to see if this stays at a low-level fight or blows up to a major regional war.
Please pray for my dad… He hurt his side the other day and literally screams in pain if he so much as twitches the wrong way… We may have to call the doctor at this rate…
Sounds to me like you should have already called the Dr, or better yet taken him into the ER. That kind of pain cannot be ignored because it can often be an indication of a serious injury or condition.
Praying for your Dad.
I’ll pray for YOU, DJ. We have lots of ways to assist that sort of injury, but not if people don’t go in for an exam. God grant you the energy to get the man to a Dr.
There’s a flat sheet-like muscle covering the rib cage. It can be torn (like paper) by rapid twisting or an unbalanced heavy lift. Then it will hurt acutely with any move that stresses the tear, for about six weeks. Taking a short course of painkillers is perfectly appropriate. All injuries require rest. If you don’t manage the pain, the patient can’t rest enough.
Another possibility is a hairline rib fracture or a contusion. I had a patient who cracked two ribs simply leaning across the storage unit between the front seats of his vehicle. If the patient is over 60, it’s easier than you might think to become injured through a single instance of rapid effort not accompanied by the correct “body English”.
Injuries are easy to diagnose, even at an Urgent Care clinic. They all have x-ray, and personnel trained in Emergency Medicine.
Praying for a full recovery for your Dad, DJ Snyder!
It’s Sunday for everybody …
he’s praying for DJ’s dad

Right. Monday. 10/12. I can’t find the reference again. But the indicators add up. Just be vigilant tomorrow. Do not let the recent relative quiet lull you into thinking it’s over. If you see something that seems odd or out of place, call it in.

AFTER GOD’S SILENCE – WHAT?
“When He had heard therefore that he was sick, He abode two days in the same place where he was.” John xi. 6
Has God trusted you with a silence – a silence that is big with meaning? God’s silences are His answers. Think of those days of absolute silence in the home at Bethany! Is there anything analogous to those days in your life? Can God trust you like that, or are you still asking for a visible answer? God will give you the blessings you ask if you will not go any further without them; but His silence is the sign that He is bringing you into a marvelous understanding of Himself. Are you mourning before God because you have not had an audible response? You will find that God has trusted you in the most intimate way possible, with an absolute silence, not of despair, but of pleasure, because He saw that you could stand a bigger revelation. If God has given you a silence, praise Him, He is bringing you into the great run of His purposes. The manifestation of the answer in time is a matter of God’s sovereignty. Time is nothing to God. For a while you said – “I asked God to give me bread, and He gave me a stone.” He did not, and today you find He gave you the bread of life.
A wonderful thing about God’s silence is that the contagion of His stillness gets into you and you become perfectly confident – “I know God has heard me.” His silence is the proof that He has. As long as you have the idea that God will bless you in answer to prayer, He will do it, but He will never give you the grace of silence. If Jesus Christ is bringing you into the understanding that prayer is for the glorifying of His Father, He will give you the first sign of His intimacy – silence.

Kai Tak Airport Hong Kong. They closed it in 1998 and this old but very well done video will give you a good idea why.

Scary! 😯
Okay…it is almost Jr high humor but these local Kansas newscasters gave me a good chuckle!
Unseal and release all of Obama’s personal life history documents/records from the time of his birth through to his election to the Senate
Requesting for an avid Obama supporter.
I saw this reported on Friday and was surprised that Sundance didn’t have a few words about it.

Hopefully this will work.
The video includes Father Jeremija, who is blind from birth. He is an Orthodox Monk at Dečani Monastery, Kosovo-Metohija, Serbia.
He is chanting a portion of the Paschal Canon in Old Church Slavonic. (I might be wrong.)
Hymns for the Lord’s Day are Resurrectional in content.

Dinesh D’Souza’s new film, “Trump Card,” is available to rent online. I just got through viewing it by online rental on Fandango for $4.99. As an American and a President Trump supporter,
I highly recommend this documentary!
Here is a preview:
I really miss the wisdom of Paul Harvey. From freedom to chains, the rest of the story.
I don’t put bumper stickers on my car but I’ll make one exception. I had this made for my personal use.
Thank you Sundance for your efforts in trying to save the Republic. I hope history will give you the credit you deserve. It is sad that progressive democrats are not aware of the assistance they are providing toward their self destruction. Every time I drive I hope I can at least point the curious in the right direction.

Hi open thread readers!
I have an experiment for you. I tried it and was surprised at the responses. As a long time voter (I’m a boomer), it has always been an issue figuring out what local candidates (mayor, city council, etc) to support. Try this, email each of the candidates, request answers to only two questions. #1 do you support our President. #2 why or why not? Nothing more. The responses might surprise you. Good luck and God bless.

Three things that happened within 5 miles of my home on Friday afternoon. All of them within the span of an hour.
1. The Granddaughter of a friend of mine was riding in a car that was involved in a severe accident. She was life lined to Riley in Indianapolis. The girl is going to survive but it will takes months for her to recover. She had just tried out to be a cheerleader for the Indianapolis Colts.
2 This: https://www.foxnews.com/us/indiana-train-semi-truck-tracks-pendleton-csw-slam-escape-fire-response
No that truck is not from the company I drive for.
3. A Combine caught on fire staring a fire in the field where it was harvesting. I could see the smoke from my front yard. It has been dry the later half of this summer here and static electricity can cause the dust to combust in the combine. This happens a great deal more than most people realize.
All of that action resulted in a total of three volunteer fire departments responding plus the professionals in Anderson.
Prayers for all, rah…
and safe continuing travels for you. Appreciate your posts

Hope the good doctor is successful!
Anything new on Brian Kolfage’s arrest and mistreatment by the Postal Police? Who rides herd on them?
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen
Amen.
A prayer for Justice Kavanaugh and Gen. Flynn:
Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do you, O prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen
Amen.
Amen
Well, this is amusing. Antifa and anti-antifa groups standing on opposite street corners yelling at each other and throwing stuff at each other. Seriously? “F you!” “No, F you!” “Take this!” SPLAT “Oh yeah? Well, take THIS!” SPLAT
We need to open up bars and restaurants and sports stadiums because people need more to do than this. This is some SERIOUS boredom activity.
