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 †

A Saying That Shouldn’t Go Without Saying
By Pastor Ricky Kurth
“This is a faithful saying…that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners…” (I Timothy 1:15).
You’ve probably heard the old saying, “Don’t criticize a man until you’ve walked a mile in his shoes.” I once heard a comedian add, “That way when you do criticize him, you’re a mile away, and you’ve got his shoes!”
While this addition makes that a humorous saying, “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” is a faithful saying. That means if you’re a sinner needing a Savior, you can depend on the fact that Christ came to save you, no matter who you are or what you’ve done.
Don’t you wish all old sayings were that dependable? They say, “You get what you pay for,” but I don’t have to tell you that sometimes you don’t. But even under God’s kingdom program for Israel, the Lord declared,
“They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick…I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Matthew 9:12,13).
I’m barely old enough to remember when doctors made house calls, and my doctor once came to our home to treat my asthma. Of course, he wouldn’t have come if I hadn’t needed medical attention. Similarly, Christ wouldn’t have come into the world to save sinners if men didn’t need salvation.
But if you’re not saved, and are unwilling to admit you’re a sinner, you’re in trouble, for that would mean that Christ didn’t come to save you! If you’re willing to acknowledge that “all have sinned” (Rom. 3:23), but you think yourself to be pretty godly overall, you’re still in trouble, for “Christ died for the ungodly” (Rom. 5:6). If that forces you to concede you are an ungodly sinner, but you think you and God are still on good terms, you are still in trouble, for you must admit to being among His “enemies” if you want to be “reconciled to God by the death of His Son…” (Rom. 5:10).
But don’t be discouraged, all of this is actually good news! What if Paul had said, “Christ Jesus came into the world to save tall people,” and you are “vertically challenged.” You can’t admit to being tall, but you can admit to being a sinner. Why not admit it right now, and believe that Christ died to pay for your sins, and rose again (I Corinthians 15:3,4). If you’re saved, why not repeat this old saying to someone today! “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” is not a saying that should go without saying!
https://www.bereanbiblesociety.org/a-saying-that-shouldnt-go-without-saying/
1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 5:6 ¶ For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
1Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
The climate change squad is out in force.
John Kerry Blames Frigid Temperatures and Record Cold on Global Warming, Says We have 9 Years Left to Save the Planet (VIDEO)John Kerry Blames Frigid Temperatures and Record Cold on Global Warming, Says We have 9 Years Left to Save the Planet (VIDEO) (thegatewaypundit.com)
First off, there is absolutely no scientific evidence that global warming causes severe cold winter weather. Warmer oceans and atmosphere will cause more water vapor in the atmosphere but the cold, as experienced here in the US recently, resulting from the so called polar vortex when the normal pattern of the circumpolar jet stream is disturbed and dips down has long been recorded to happen periodically and has nothing to do with so called “global warming”. Recently even the the scientific journal Nature took a couple so called “scientists” to task for making such a claim and believe me, that publication is not friendly to skeptics.
On Sept 2nd, 2009 Kerry said the Arctic would be ice free by the end of 2013. June 22nd, 2010 he said the Arctic would be ice free in 5 to 10 years!
Right now, according to DMI, which IMO after 20 years of paying attention to them I believe is by far the most honest source that continually monitors conditions in the Arctic. The Artic sea ice extent is the highest it’s been in 6 years!
Ocean and Ice Services | Danmarks Meteorologiske Institut (dmi.dk)
And the whole southern hemisphere is having the coolest summer it has had in almost 10 year and Antarctica, had it’s coldest January since 1978. Antarctica set to coldest January since 1978, Southern Hemisphere hasn´t been so cold almost 10 years – mkweather
Kerry and Al Gore dand the usual Hollywood suspects have crawled out of the woodwork again since the democrats are back in power and are flying around in their private jets making stupid claims again in order to bolster the effort to impose further government regulations restricting the freedom of the people. Meanwhile Biden has signed the US back up as agreeing with the so called Paris Climate Accords despite the fact that the US has lowered it’s carbon footprint far more than Germany or France which both failed to meet their declared reduction goals by good margins,
“Climate Change” like “Gun Control” is not about what they say it is, they are simply about control and domination. It’s that simple.
but climate change has exceeded expectations and risen to climate crisis now according to Kerry(which has taken Al Gore’s place in demanding we comply) in order to surpass the 9 year event where the earth will just disappear 😛
“Well, the scientists told us three years ago we had 12 years to avert the worst consequences of climate crisis. We are now three years gone, so we have nine years left,” he said.
Every year for the last 20 years they have been declaring it a “crisis” that could only be averted if the worlds governments take immediate and drastic action now! They have people in Academia, like Kathrinen Hayhoe who, according to her Bio is “the Political Science Endowed Professor in Public Policy and Public Law in the Department of Political Science, a director of the Climate Center, and an associate in the Public Health program of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at Texas Tech University. I am also a principal investigator for the Department of Interior’s South-Central Climate Adaptation Science Center. ” She works out of Texas Tech.
Back in 2011 She along with Andrew E. Dressler at Texas A&M and of course many others, were running around declaring that Texas and the US South West, which had been dryer and warmer than usual -for a couple years, was in a “perma-drought” and would continue to get dryer and warmer due to “Climate Change”. . Well as is typical of Texas long term weather, the drought ended with a deluge that caused serious flooding around the state, including at Houston which lies in a low area into which several rivers drain.
While their claims were much publicized when it was hot and dry, when the drought ended they just quietly faded from the spotlight speaking only at forums where their message is received by friendly ears despite the demonstrated lack of accuracy of their projections. And never directly =debating any skeptics who would call them out on their failures despite being called out publicly to do so several times by various well qualified skeptics. This BTE is how they all operate, including little Michael Mann. .
Hayhoe BTW is a devout Christian married to a minister and she lets everyone know it and likes to use it as a prop to show some kind of moral authority to back up her predictions of climate disaster if man doesn’t mend his ways.
Ever since Shackleton’s expedition some moron has been predicting some form of disaster. Satan is using this to cause confusion is my best guess.

Did you know there is no universally accepted scientific definition for either a Grand Solar Maximum or a Grand Solar minimum?

NASA Predicts Next Solar Cycle will be Lowest in 200 Years (Dalton Minimum Levels) + the Implications
Here is where you can go to get NASA solar activity predictions first hand.
NASA/Marshall Solar Physics
And here is “The Sun Now” from the SOHO satellite.
Sunspots (nasa.gov)
Thank you rah. I read the articles. Is there a take away that conflicts with the article from electroverse.net? It looks like the data in these links support a minimum in the 2025 time frame but it doesn’t look extreme. Much appreciated.
The physics of the sun is being understood more frequently in terms of SED, Stochastic Electrodynamics. You may be interested in this video:
The science of predicting the intensity of solar cycles is quite inexact. I no longer take any of them to heart since none of a track record demonstrating any consistent accuracy. So my attitude is what happens happens!
And what happened during the last solar cycle (#24) was that solar activity as gauged by sunspot numbers and intensity, was the lowest that has been recorded since 1820.
The sunspot record is the longest observation data set in science with sunspot activity being recorded as often as the weather at the very limited number of observatories allowed since 1775.
As for the physics which challenges the standard model of the sun, I am not adverse at all to the standard model of anything in science being honestly challenged. That is what science is all about! Through out the history of science it has quite often been people from outside a particular discipline which have challenged the status quo with strong evidence to support their hypothesis and were eventually proven correct, usually after being initially labeled as crackpots, or silenced by the powers that be, like Galileo famously was, for his claim of a Heliocentric solar system was, have been proven correct.
Take the case of Alfred Wegener, the father of the theory of Continental Drift. To make a long story short, a meteorologist by training and a quite competent one that added greatly to the knowledge of his own field, he began to ask questions when he noticed that many fossils found in S. America were identical to fossils found in Africa. After doing more of such research in other regions he came to the conclusion that the continents had once been all connected.
At the time the settled geological science was that the continents were static. When Wegener presented his hypothesis for continental drift to the Royal Society he was practically laughed off the stage. He published a book in 1915 ‘The Origin of Continents and the Oceans’ and in it provided the evidence backing his contention and described the mechanisms by which such drift happened. He was the very first to describe such mechanisms.
It was not until the 1960’s when the evidence for plate tectonics had became overwhelming that Wegener was recognized as the genius he truly was.
Oh BTW there is a layer of Africa near the summit of the Matterhorn in Switzerland.
I’ve read many opinions on this topic and the one I concluded was best supported with scientific evidence is presented by Greg Braden in his Missing Links series, the first 1/2 hr video entitled Cycles of Time:
https://cosmicconvergence.org/?p=19519
That’s exactly the way I see it Bari. The Geologic record is clear. CO2 rise lags behind temperature rise. This is because the oceans are by far the largest sink for atmospheric CO2. The warmer the water is the less CO2 the waters can hold. Water has more than 98% more heat retention capacity than land. And by far the major thing that warms the oceans is insolation, or IOW, direct sunlight, All other factors such as the temperature of the air, or underwater geothermal activity are minor compared to the amount of energy insolation transmits to water.
The Sun is a great driver of climate and the worlds surface waters are the great modulators. Or IOW it is the oceans which regulate and determine our climate more than any other single factor usually.
At times other factors can temporarily override old Sols dominance. Large Asteroid or meteor impacts. Massive geothermal activity such as the Siberian traps or hyper-volcanism driving massive amounts of dust and SO2 high into stratosphere can temporarily be huge factors. Even biological activity may cause great changes in climate if the if the most favored hypothesis of what caused “Snow Ball Earth” is correct.
But in the end the only constants determining our worlds climate have been the sun and water.
BTW the explosive volcanic eruptions that have the greatest potential to disrupt our weather and climate are those that are located nearer the equator or at least in the tropical band and which eject massive clouds into the stratosphere. Most if not all that post here have probably experienced it in their life times. I remember a cool summer with a red sun even at high noon the next summer after Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in June 1991. It was the 2nd largest eruption of the 20th century.
In the stratosphere the gasses and dust can persist much longer than in the troposphere because the stratosphere is dry, unlike the troposphere, where precipitation washes the dust and gasses out relatively quickly. .
Once the dust and gases reach the stratosphere they will be carried around the globe with the highest concentration remaining over the tropical band which is where the vast majority of insolation of the oceans occurs. Some of course is carried into the temperate band and in the short term causes effects like those I described from Pinatubo. But the longer term effect on weather and climate occurs in the tropics because of the reduction in insolation. .
Oh and BTW the stratosphere is not of a uniform thickness or altitude above the surface of the earth. Unlike the simple illustrations we learned from, it can vary considerably from place to place.
Just going through that discussion with my wife.
Why these useless green energy plants??
First and foremost, MONEY.
Just like the pandemic the federal gives money for green energy plants. Lots of jobs created, economy soars. No money for fossil fuel plants so they decline.
Imagine this now, all cars on electric and no power to
charge. CONTROL DEPOPULATION.
(Better embrace this thought and stop ignoring what these globalists are telling us all)
Next: renewable energy.
Anyone ever read ‘Mother Earth news’?
Years ago they used compost to create methane gas to run generators. Hmmm ‘cow flatulent s’, remember that ‘no cow flatulent s allowed’ by AOC?? Or that Gates says we eat fake meat? Why?
Methane is renewable and we have it everywhere.
All those sewage plants are ‘energy factories’ and the solid waste once it has broken down is rich, abundant growing material., harmless. Every dairy, egg farm, chicken farm, has a huge sewage pit that stinks to high heaven, drive through Arkansas, you’ll smell it.
That my friends is raw energy. By the way, Ever smell an oil refinery? They stink worse.
Control is key.
By the way, that will be my next endeavor, methane energy use.
“Climate Change” like “Gun Control” is not about what they say it is, they are simply about control and domination. It’s that simple.”
I was just going to start off by saying something like this but you beat me to it. This is, indeed, all about control of the way people lead their lives. Climate change is just the excuse for creating a totalitarian society. The very idea that you have to reconstruct free societies into one-party states with total police power is indicative of the real goals of environmentalism and climate change politics.
When we look at the span of human history we’ll clearly see that when we encounter the kinds of critical problems climate change is supposed to cause, we create fixes through the development of technological tools to solve our problems. Just as pointed sticks became hafted spearpoints, so did the US under the Trump administration set world wide records for lower emissions. And we did this at a time when we’ve had greater personal freedom than at any time in many years.
In short climate problems will be solved through the use of appropriate innovative technological solutions that still allow people to have liberty and freedom. Climate change dogma, with it’s insistence on making people change their behavior to reach some imaginary utopia that will never appear, is obviously much less about the climate than it is about . controlling people. Regardless of what Kerry or Sandy Cortez says, It’s not about controlling the climate at all.
My opinion Garrison, is that nothing in weather or climate has been happening that hasn’t happened before. In fact we alive today have had the good fortune to live during a time when the climate and weather has been relatively benign.
This planet has been much colder than it is now for the vast majority of it’s existence since it has had an atmosphere. Thus I am inclined to believe that if we don’t kill ourselves off first, or some natural mass extinction event does not occur in the meantime, humanities biggest challenge will be another ice age.
Yes. What we’re in now is called an “Interglacial”. Geologic sciences shows that we’ve been in the before. They come and they go.
An interglacial period ends in two ways. Either you have another period of glaciation or it gets warm enough that the poles become ice free there by ending the Ice age we are living in.
HAPPY CATURDAY !!!

“All Across The City” . . . Everytime I hear Jim Hall play this piece, I can just imagine him standing on a street corner—guitar case in hand, the club just closed, he’s gotten paid for the night’s performance—in the early morning hours. It’s a commonplace ocurrance for most working musicians but, regardless of where you are, the feeling is pretty much the same. The sense of being so perfectly along in the city could not be more apparent than this kind of moment. So, does Jim go have supper or does he go have breakfast . . .? 🙂

Happy Caterday, Treepers! What makes a true hero? Caring enough to try . . . and keep trying. Good kitty!!! 🙂
I have a humble request to all Treeper Christians who pray daily and believe in the power of prayer to overcome evil: Will you include in your prayer an appeal to our Father to protect my mother from a demonic entity that has invaded her home?
I have heard this thing, and sensed it. It is evil, and malevolent, and it has been terrorizing her for the last two weeks.
When she prays out loud it subsists for awhile, but then starts again. Sounds of crumpling paper, crushing soft drink cans, shaking sheet metal, pounding, tapping (code?), throwing rocks, then bells, whistles, etc. The prayers of the two of us do not seem to be able to overcome it.
She is determined not to let it drive her from her home, although she has agreed to leave if things became extreme.
If you could ask our Heavenly Father thru His son Jesus to surround her with protective angels, I would be grateful.
She is Margaret in Yerington Nevada. Our Father will know who she is.
Will pray!
But also strongly suggest you and she sweep through that house getting rid of any and all objects that would attract the enemy of our souls. Things like books / literature on occultism, horoscopes, ouiji boards, media, religious statues, objects of veneration and so on.
Thank you. There is nothing like that in the house I can think of, but we will double check. And she is the first owner. It was built on pasture land, nothing was there before.
The entity favors a particular upstairs bedroom, and now
thinking back to when my kids were young (15 to 20 years ago), they would not sleep upstairs. So I think it has been there a long time.
Get this book:
The author has a highly effective method. No nonsense, no drama, demons are simply out-ranked and must obey, based upon the victory and power of Christ.
I remember the comment of one reader who was a Christian counselor, who remarked that his book places the correct emphasis on this matter of casting out demons. We should neither ignore the issue entirely, nor let this matter occupy our thoughts too much, and we have met believers who do that.
The Lord told us about demons and angels because they are real, and we may have occasion to deal with them in our sojourn on earth. The victory is in Christ alone, it is nothing that we ourselves do.
Also, when you pray confront the spirit directly. “In the name of Jesus, I command you to go away!” And repeat that or something similar until they flee.
utube Fr. Vincent Lambert’s Seton Hall lecture Nov 17 2017
Get some holy water and sprinkle it as you pray. You can find vessels filled with this blessed water in Catholic Churches, usually in the vestibule. And I absolutely concur with JustDoItNow, look for objects, especially if she had been living there and this just started.
Praying for deliverance! And I also agree with ‘JustDoItNow and Menagerie!
I had a personal terrifying experience with a demon some years ago. After much prayer, God helped me to understand that pieces of the world I had collected thru the years, carried their own spirits as open doors into my life and home. This led me to start going thru my home and identifying objects to remove. The benchmark was, if it does not glorify God, then by default it glorifies the world. I will not tell you that it was an easy process to remove items I had cherished, but the situation became so intense and terrifying, the battle between good and evil raging, that I learned that the choices being made became spiritual and not just material. Sometimes God brings us into a place to test our loyalty to Him and Him alone. That’s where I ended up. Was I willing to give up even seemingly innocent items? And I will say that God was Faithful and True to carry me thru the fire but my heart was determined to follow God no matter what was lost!

“The prayers of the two of us do not seem to be able to overcome it.”
Mark 9: 28-29
28 And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
29 So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.”
Perhaps add the discipline of fasting?
Praying for Margaret;
have she, or you, considered asking the local Parish Priest to come do a blessing, or something mightier to cleanse the home and land her house is on?

The Watchman’s Duty ©
Eze 33:1 ¶ Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Eze 33:2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman: Eze 33:3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Eze 33:4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. Eze 33:5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. Eze 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
Eze 33:7 ¶ So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. Eze 33:8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Eze 33:9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Matthew Henry explains The Watchman’s Duty further:

Chapter 33
The prophet has now come off his circuit, which he went as judge, in God’s name, to try and pass sentence upon the neighbouring nations, and, having finished with them, and read them all their doom, in the eight chapters foregoing, he now returns to the children of his people, and receives further instructions what to say to them.
I. He must let them know what office he was in among them as a prophet, that he was a watchman, and had received a charge concerning them, for which he was accountable (v. 1-9). The substance of this we had before, ch. 3:17, etc.
II. He must let them know upon what terms they stand with God, that they are upon their trial, upon their good behaviour, that if a wicked man repent he shall not perish, but that if a righteous man apostatize he shall perish (v. 10-20).
III. Here is a particular message sent to those who yet remained in the land of Israel, and (which is very strange) grew secure there, and confident that they should take root there again, to tell them that their hopes would fail them because they persisted in their sins (v. 21-29).
IV. Here is a rebuke to those who personally attended Ezekiel’s ministry, but were not sincere in their professions of devotion (v. 30-33).

Bet it was a TrueTone transistor radio, woodstuff. Mine was white and aquamarine in a leather carry case with an attached hand strap. I was a teen in the 60’s and we all carried our radios with us wherever we went (except for school, of course). Ahhh [sigh], I miss those days.

that was a loop.. here’s the poet
never mind… couldn’t save the last Confederate monument but we did give you the Bay View Cross.. Pensacola, It put a stop to them.. I caught the guy.. they were going for the next town.. we took it to the SCOTUS
and won
https://www.foxnews.com/us/florida-cross-pensacola-christian-atheist-court
a year ago.. we stopped them No one knows I urged the mayor to go for it…… Do it for the country. First City .. “The Supreme Court made clear in The American Legion decision that the days of governments roaming the land to scrub all public symbols of faith are over,” Mike Berry, general counsel to First Liberty Institute, said. “We’re thrilled to see our victory in that case already making an impact and protecting religious freedom across the country.”
I tell you this anonymously..hope some one is to encouraged to keep pushing forward.. They can’t keep going to little towns because they have a cross and stealing tax payer money to pay lawyers’ to abuse twist and distort our constitution. Freedom of religion, not Freedom From
this has nothing to do with the ramblings..doubt anyone will follow the music anyway..

Here’s the real thing.
yep, grew up with that, I was just sitting here feeling a little moody, been keeping quiet for the most part online. It’s a landmine out there. But that was a big win for the country, It was two years ago actually. There was the Brandenburg cross and then the Pensacola Bay View Cross. SCOTUS ruled they do not have to scrub the public square. The plantiffs sulked off. One threw a milkshake on Gaetz, He pressed charges I believe. Yes I sang every song to the LP. Great music.

THE INITIATIVE AGAINST DREAMING
“Arise, let us go hence.” John xiv. 31
Dreaming about a thing in order to do it properly is right; but dreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong. After our Lord had said those wonderful things to His disciples, we might have expected that He would tell them to go away and meditate over them all; but our Lord never allowed “mooning.” When we are getting into contact with God in order to find out what He wants, dreaming is right; but when we are inclined to spend our time in dreaming over what we have been told to do, it is a bad thing and God’s blessing is never on it. God’s initiative is always in the nature of a stab against this kind of dreaming, the stab that bids us “neither sit nor stand but go.”
If we are quietly waiting before God and He has said – “Come ye yourselves apart,” then that is meditation before God in order to get at the line He wants; but always beware of giving over to mere dreaming when once God has spoken. Leave Him to be the source of all your dreams and joys and delights, and go out and obey what He has said. If you are in love, you do not sit down and dream about the one you love all the time, you go and do something for him; and that is what Jesus Christ expects us to do. Dreaming after God has spoken is an indication that we do not trust Him.

Scenes Beyond the Grave – Marietta Davis
Chapter XII – The City Viewed from a Superior Plain
12:1
Then I heard a voice from above us saying, “Come up hither.” At this moment I beheld a circular expanse, like the interior of a tower, whose spiral walls formed ascending galleries, winding upward into the superior glory. This lovely pathway seemed formed of rainbows wreathed in spirals of prismatic hue, and reflecting varying but ever beautiful tints of matchless lustre.
Borne on a cloud of essential light, that like a chariot gently ascended the spiral, we passed from the surface of the city, and advanced along the rising galleries of this tower of rainbow forms and glories. Seated by the side of my companion, the spirit who had kissed the Cross, a sense of calm composure, full of holy peace and delight far superior to any previous condition, captivated and pervaded my breast. The spiritual gallery, which seemed to undulate as if moved by breathing elements of life, became more beautiful as we advanced, and appeared to be composed of minute gems of floating light, reflecting and picturing in their tremulous surfaces each floral beauty, which had gladdened my eye as I passed through the city from which I had just arisen.
Time, however, was not afforded me to distinguish between the several qualities and define their loveliness; for soon we emerged from the ascending gallery of rainbows and stood upon an aerial plain, resting in the transparent air above the magnificent and lofty dome which crowns the centre temple of instruction in the paradisical abode.

Of course herd immunity takes a LOT longer to acquire if the majority of the population are cowering in their homes, wearing face diapers, and avoiding contact with family, friends, business coworkers, or the normal public contact in shopping areas and entertainment venues.
The big guy and his team are working on it.

Afterfeast of the Meeting of the Lord
February 7th on the traditional Calendar of the Orthodox Christian Church and February 20th on the civil or commercial calendar.
Among the Saints who are commemorated today is Saint Parthénios, Bishop of Lámpsakos on the Hellespont (+ 4th century). His father was a deacon and the boy learned the Holy Scriptures by heart. He strove to live bt the Gospel and was eventually chosen as Bishop of Lámpsakos. He healed all manner of sickness by prayer and was granted power by Gid over evil spirits. He overcame the falsehoods of paganism and brought many in his region to Christ’s Church. He reposed peacefully at an extreme old age.
A vitally needed bit of wisdom applied to our current lives.

Dr. Scott Jensen shared this article that “was a key resources for a video” he did a few days ago “describing the changing standards by which COVID-19 has been diagnosed”. It does a great job explaining the new lower numbers of those testing positive:

The most terrifying force of death comes from the hands of ” men who wanted to be left Alone”. They try so very hard to mind their own business and provide for them selves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. Knowing the moment they fight back, the lives as they have lived them, are over. The moment these people are forced to fight back, it’s a small form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left Alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play acting at politics and terror. TRUE TERROR will arrive at the left’s door and they’ll cry, scream, and beg for mercy, but it will fall on deaf ears.
Yum. Yum.

The coming hurricane season. As things stand now we have a strengthening La Nina that is forecast ot hang on through this summer.
Cold surface waters in the east equatorial Pacific Ocean are conducive for strong Atlantic hurricanes penetrating further west due to the lack of wind sheer from winds coming out of the west. Thus the likely hood of major hurricanes impacting US shores is increased. Joe Bastardi has already hinted that as things stand now it is looking like the coming hurricane season could be a bad one.
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 his family 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.
Amen…
Amen.
I can’t believe I’ve been reading Treehouse for the past 2-3 years and just now noticed the “chapel in the woods” photo! If true, that Sundance built it–what a beautiful, peaceful location to go to pray and ‘be still’…. Love it.
The “Chaple in the Woods” was designed and authored by our fellow Admin “Sharon”. Once we complete our “optimization” phase, I’m sure it will be back open for commenting.
Juan Brown, Blancolirio you tube channel, does a great job walking through the events of today’s flight situation in Denver where there had been an engine fire, with parts falling onto the ground; about 21 minutes in length:
Reports of someone pretending to be NRA making calls to gunowners, selling some sort of subscription are making the rounds in certain forums.
These are speculated to be fake calls. Please do not give any information, including your credit card details.
The best way to contact NRA is for you to originate the call to an authentic phone number.
