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 †

Do You Hear the People Sing?
We stand with President Trump!
As Sundance said in a previous post, “We ride at dawn!” That is literally true for me tomorrow because I’m an election volunteer at a polling site. Not because I want to, but because it is my duty. I started doing that two years ago in preparation for tomorrow… to do my part to ensure a fair election. We each have a part to play tomorrow… to get out there, to vote, to matter. Starting at 6:00 am, we WILL be heard. So if you haven’t already voted, get out there. “We ride at dawn!”
WE? Does he have a mouse in his pocket? I’m WALKING to the Church… to VOTE!

Wow!!!??❤️??
Has Mike Flynn been acquitted yet?
Not yet as far as I know. I hope that Judge gets what he deserves when this is all over along with everyone else.

I can’t say I would not be ecstatic if she made it but I would rather see her as AG.
A legend has died. Sean Connery lived to the ripe old age of 90 and passed away in the Bahamas. He did not like Hollywood and its culture, but he was a credit to the motion picture industry. He was the first James Bond and to me he was the best of them all.
-Ben Garrison
He was the best! And a really good man as well.

Sober Christians
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
“Let us, who are of the day, be sober…” (I Thes. 5:8).
Many people entertain the erroneous idea that truly spiritual Christians must always be solemn and long-faced. In fact, they suppose that such Scripture passages as the above teach this.
Nothing could be farther from the truth, for the word “sober,” in our English New Testament does not mean solemn, but completely under control. This is also true of the original Greek word from which the English word “sober” is translated.
Sobriety in Scripture, as in modern English, is the opposite of drunkenness. This is brought out in the rest of the passage cited above. Along with its context, the above exhortation reads as follows:
“For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken be drunken in the night.
“But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for an helmet the hope of salvation.
“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
“Who died for us that… we should live together with Him” (I Thes. 5:7-10).
Thus those who are “of the day,” and know Christ as their Savior, should not “sleep” on the one hand, or “be drunken” on the other, but should be awake and alert, their faculties completely under control, so that they might witness the more effectively to the saving grace of Christ.
If ever there was a time when true Christians should “watch and be sober,” it is now.
https://www.bereanbiblesociety.org/sober-christians/
1Thessalonians 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
Can’t really say it’s all that cold her in Texas but it’s pretty cold in other parts of the country so this seems like a good time to enjoy this performance by Kat Edmonson and Lyle Lovett.
such a great song – I remember hearing it on the car radio a few years ago and wondering how long it would be before that song would be verboten

Lucille you have out done yourself night with these bench pictures. They are all gorgeous; however, the one in Nantucket is eye-popping! Thank you for the time you take to post these. Many, many blessings to you, always, from the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Holy One of Israel.
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for the blessing. God is good!
yep. me too. nantucket?.
You have inspired me and I purchased a bench and put it by the lake.
Terrific, Blue Wildflower!
It’s wonderful to see your posts Lucille…Hope all is well and your staying warm….:0)
Thanks, litenmaus. I’ve been staying away from posting because of shoulder/arm/hand problems and the doc has told me to severely limit mouse use. It’s helped, but it’s also boring. So I’ve just posted the “bench” series for Monday, Cursday and Caturday here at CTH last week and today.
Weatherwise, we’re at 48 right now and heading into a week of rain. But as you know, the Great Northwest weather changes on a dime.
You take care, too.
very lovely!
Today is Monday but tomorrow is freedom day!
American friends,
There are Trump rallies Going on in Israel.
I am posing here one. A ride from Tel-Aviv to Jerusalem, destination the American Embassy in Jerusalem.
Translation :
1. “Many vehicles arrived here from all over the nation.”
2. “We love peace and are here to Thank Trump for what he did for us. Everyone in the region should thank Trump”.
Notice the Trump signs are on the sides of the cars.
Shalom and thank you David. This is just incredible! Beautiful, beautiful scenery.
Thank you!
How wonderful! So good to know this is happening. Thanks, David.
Amazing.
Almost as good as the Pittsburgh Steeler’s winning over Baltimore today is the Pittsburgh Post Gazette endorsing President Trump. That is a big and brave move on their part. Bravo!
Meanwhile, the triggered left I imagine reaction’s to this will be a cancellation of their subscriptions. Oh well, those that do lose. Really good newspaper.
God willing, the Universe is unfolding as it should and always will do so. I hope Universe will find a way to send Joe Biden and Kamala out into the desert for 40 days and 40 nights for their crimes against people and the image of what they want this great country to be. Would be most fitting for Kamala to spend 40 forty years in the desert to repent.
Still haven’t wrapped my head around either of their nominations. Be well friends. We are always blessed with the truth we find within ourselves.
American friends, May Trump win, landslide!! My prayers.
Here is a bikers rally for Trump at the old city of Jerusalem right next to the holiest place where the holy temple stood. Israelis love Trump!
More Israelis for Trump in Jerusalem. Rally.
When Trump had COVID the Chief rabbis of Israel prayed for his recovery and success.
Now that he recovered its time for success. The location is the holiest, The Western/Wailing Wall.
How kind of them. May the rabbis all be blessed by the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Holy One of Israel. Enjoy hearing the Hebrew language spoken.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Prayer of Saint Ioannikios the Great (+ 846)
My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection the Holy Spirit. O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.

Enough Is Enough (enough.org) states the following;
“The Children’s Internet Safety Presidential Pledge asks Presidential Nominees to uphold the rule of law by aggressively enforcing existing federal laws to prevent the sexual exploitation of children online, including the obscenity, child pornography, sexual predation & sex trafficking laws.”
“Donald J. Trump signed the Children’s Internet Safety Presidential Pledge on July 16, 2016 (Hillary Clinton sent a letter of support.) EIE is actively pursuing Joseph Biden who was sent the Pledge for signature, but is awaiting a response.”
This alone speaks volumes.

AUTHORITY AND INDEPENDENCE
“If ye love Me, ye will keep My commandments.” John xiv. 15. R.V.
Our Lord never insists upon obedience; He tells us very emphatically what we ought to do, but He never takes means to make us do it. We have to obey Him out of a oneness of spirit. That is why whenever Our Lord talked about discipleship, He prefaced it with an IF – you do not need to unless you like. “IF any man will be My disciple, let him deny himself,” let him give up his right to himself to Me. Our Lord is not talking of eternal positions, but of being of value to Himself in this order of things, that is why He sounds so stern (cfr. Luke xiv. 26). Never interpret these words apart from the One Who uttered them.
The Lord does not give me rules, He makes His standard very clear, and if my relationship to Him is that of love, I will do what He says without any hesitation. If I hesitate, it is because I love someone else in competition with Him, viz., myself. Jesus Christ will not help me to obey Him, I must obey Him; and when I do obey Him, I fulfil my spiritual destiny. My personal life may be crowded with small petty incidents, altogether unnoticeable and mean; but if I obey Jesus Christ in the haphazard circumstances, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God, and when I stand face to face with God I will discover that through my obedience thousands were blessed. When once God’s Redemption comes to the point of obedience in a human soul, it always creates. If I obey Jesus Christ, the Redemption of God will rush through me to other lives, because behind the deed of obedience is the Reality of Almighty God.
Oswald Chambers
November 2nd Devotional
“Through my obedience thousands were blessed.” ‘On earth as it is in heaven’ he speaks of heaven on earth. It’s our greatest place of strength.
Free will is a stickler for our Lord, to the point many say he is cruel. ‘How can there be a hell?’ ‘ how can God let this happen?’
I see their point, but only without free will in the equation. When you add free will, it’s a mess, and a mess we have made. Only his grace (undeserved mercy) are we rescued, daily, moment by moment.
TRUTH FOR TODAY

The Blessings of Loving God’s Word
https://proverbs31.org/read/devotions/full-post/2020/10/30/the-blessings-of-loving-gods-word?sf239139845=1
Thank you Lucille for the always beautiful bench pictures. Today the one of Nantucket in ‘Autumn’ was outstanding. BTW….I’m elderly and have a complain an old lady might have. When I was a child, I could swear we almost always said ‘Autumn’ instead of ‘Fall’. It seemed to gradually change until the unique, instantly understandable, word ‘Autumn’ is seldom used anymore. The word Fall came mean so many things, The word Autumn means one thing. Other than that, I have nothing to complain about. Looking forward to tomorrow evening. God bless President Trump, the next four years are sure going to be interesting, God bless Rush, God bless Sundance, and God bless all the wonderful treepers. What intelligent people. So glad to have found this place the day after the escalator ride. Lynn
God bless you, LYNEOK! As the saying goes, “Getting old ain’t for sissies.” Every day I thank the Lord for all the easier years that enabled me to take care of myself and family members. My philosophy is…if times get more difficult now, that’s just the way it goes.
FYI, “autumn” is from the Latin word for the season. “Fall” usage came about because of the falling leaves and apparently is from Old German which found its way into English because the two languages are related.
“Et tamen autumnus est pulchra pulchritudinis.” (The autumn of beauty is still beautiful.) – Latin proverb
Interestingly, the day in latter September when the sun is directly “over” the Equator and the hours of light and darkness are about even is known as the Autumnal Equinox.
I’ve not heard or seen it referred to as the Fall Equinox.
So, there is that…

Saint John of Kronstadt (+ 1908)
“What is mercy? Mercy is to love our enemies, to bless those who curse us, to do good to those who hate us, who do us harm, who drive us away, to defend those who are persecuted, and so on.”
From “My Life in Christ”
[A silent, heartfelt prayer for a person who is deluded is being merciful.]
How to pray for Pres Trump and the election…nice video:

When I Want To Be Mean
FTA: “Finally, Colossians 3:17 reminds me, “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (NIV).
Everything I do and say tells a story of whom I serve. If I act out of anger and spite, I give in to the ways of the enemy, spreading his darkness. If I honor the Lord with my actions, I serve to further the name of Jesus and spread His light.
At the end of the day, honoring God leads to good things. Anything else leads to confusion, emotional exhaustion and a lack of good things.
I processed the text message mentioned above with a family member who said something that brought much clarity: “You know when you’ve taken the high road, God blesses you. You’ve seen these blessings over and over as you’ve made choices that honor God. So choose a blessing today and save yourself the emotional turmoil of trying to prove you’re right.””

Don’t remember who, but sometime back this was posted here at CTH…(slightly edited)….
“Dear Lord, I pray for those liberals who are still capable of it to awaken to the truth of what the Left has become, to choose sanity, law & order. For those that are beyond that capacity, please Lord, SMITE THEM. Epically. Biblically. Utterly. And keep our great President safe. Guide his every step. Amen.”
Lord, please help President Trump to win the 2020 election in a tremendous landslide.
Give us back the House and may we gain Senators in the Senate.
We ask for Nancy Pelosi to repent and turn away from schemes to destroy our President and nation. Cause all her wily acts to fail.
We ask for Your Mercy.
Turn America away from evil and towards You.
Help us, Lord.
We need Your Divine Intervention.
In Jesus name (Se lo dici tu. If you say so.)
Amen! (So be it!)
Knowing of course that anecdotal evidence isn’t evidence, I offer this up. I had a six month follow up with my long-time GP, this morning. Last time I’d seen him was in May, literally two days after “they” had allowed us ‘proles to resume regular medical care. I asked him at that time if he’d lost anyone to the Kung Flu and he said, “Two…. but they were going to die anyway.” So fast forward six months and when I asked about it he said “We haven’t had a single case in here since you were here in May.” And this is a large, diverse practice in the most populous town in the bedroom suburb county due west of Indianapolis. He didn’t say it but I’m not sure, based on his comments, that he thinks we even had a pandemic.

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;

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
