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 †

In a Class of Her Own – I Can’t Make You Love Me – Bonnie Raitt
“In a Class of Her Own” is the Chinese version of the Korean “Sungkyunkwan Scandal.” A poor girl, Wenxi, in order to have money to buy medicine for her brother, disguises herself as a boy and becomes a student of the academy that trains bureaucratic officials. Both of the boys who become her roommates fall in love with her. Lei Zexin is the rebel trying to bring about change in the administration that killed his brother. Feng Chengjun is the cool scholar whom Wenxi falls for. This song shows off the one-sided love of the young rebel.
Blast from the past.

10 years ago my kitty started insisting on drinking from the tap. She’d paw to get into the glass shower stall for me to turn on the lower faucet and she’d drink from it
Took her to the Vet for that and other reasons and Vet had a look over and then said “Come here and look at this” and motioned me around the table
Kitty had a tumor on her tongue
It apparently was interfering with her being able to cup her tongue and lift water from a bowl
Hence her insisting on a running faucet
So $1,500 in surgery cost later her tongue was fixed and she lasted another 5 years, til 2016
We do love our kitties, non?

Happy Caterday, Treepers.
Not a chance, this kitty knew exactly what was going to happen. Rehome? Of course not! This little kitty knew something her person didn’t know. She was home!
Garrison, that was WONDERFUL! One of the best kitten videos I’ve seen. Great find.
And completely truthful, too. Ben there, done that. 🙂
Really cute
And that woman talks really, really fast
In the interest our newly required “wokeness” I’m doing this solely in the interest social justice equity. Can we just set aside from these restrictive social roles? Intersectionality, allows everything to be everything else. So, with that in mind, I’m not saying that this puppy does. but in the interest of social justice equity, since we really don’t know it only seems appropriate welcome a dog—who may actually feel a little kittenish from time to time one hopes, into our Caterday celebrations . . . Oh, and by the way. Always keep in mind that being properly woke means that at all times:everything is everything else.
deep thoughts, Garrison

What the left is intending is called “cultural displacement”. Not surprisingly judging from the title, cultural displacement happens when one culture—newly arrived—displaces an original culture. When this occurs, the social institutions that defined society fail and are replaced by the new dominant cultures values. A more benign middlegroud is “cultural accommodation”. If you visit the Texas border areas you’ll an eclectic populations of Americans. You may come across an Angle Texas who is bilingual and speaks in vernacular “Nortanio Mexican” Spanish. Mexican weddings and Christmas traditions are much complex and longer lasting than their traditional Angle counterparts. So, in places like Laredo, it’s commenplace for everyone to have a Mexican style wedding (serious fun if you’ve never been to one), celebrate a Mexican style Christmas. Cross the border and you’ll find Mexican nationals speaking in vernacular American standard English. There’s a big difference between cultural domination, which is what the progressive-leftists appear to trying to accomplish and the simple accommodations that people with different backgrounds develop so as to have a stable social situation.
Don’t worry, some RINOs went down there to make a little noise. This time they’re really really outraged. Lol

The Door
By Pastor Kevin Sadler
In October of 2017, our family visited the Ark Encounter in Williamstown, Kentucky. We toured the impressive full-size ark. Of all the things we saw, what I appreciated most was the door.
When God gave the instructions for the building of the ark, He told Noah to put one door in the side of the ark: “the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof” (Gen. 6:16).
The ark is a picture of Christ. Being in the ark, Noah and his family were safe from the judgment of the worldwide flood. Likewise, being in Christ, we are safe from the ultimate judgment of the lake of fire. He is the “Ark” that delivers us from the judgment of God for eternity.
The door of the ark is a type of Christ as well. He is the door by Whom we enter into salvation. As the Lord taught Israel in His earthly ministry, and is a truth for us in the Body of Christ too, “I am the door: by Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved…” (John 10:9).
The way of salvation in Noah’s day was the wooden ark with its single door, and the way of eternal salvation today is by the wooden cross upon which Christ died. And as the ark had only a single door, so it is that Christ is the one way, the only way to eternal safety.
https://www.bereanbiblesociety.org/the-door/
Genesis 6:16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
1 Corinthians 15:1 ¶ Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
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.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
The 50th Psalm Septuagint (Psalm 51 KJV)
VISION BY PERSONAL CHARACTER
“Come up hither, and I will shew thee things.” Rev. iv. 1
An elevated mood can only come out of an elevated habit of personal character. If in the externals of your life you live up to the highest you know, God will continually say – “Friend, go up higher.” The golden rule in temptation is – Go higher. When you get higher up, you face other temptations and characteristics. Satan uses the strategy of elevation in temptation, and God does the same, but the effect is different. When the devil puts you into an elevated place, he makes you screw your idea of holiness beyond what flesh and blood could ever bear, it is a spiritual acrobatic performance, you are just poised and dare not move; but when God elevates you by His grace into the heavenly places, instead of finding a pinnacle to cling to, you find a great table-land where it is easy to move.
Compare this week in your spiritual history with the same week last year and see how God has called you up higher. We have all been brought to see from a higher standpoint. Never let God give you one point of truth which you do not instantly live up to. Always work it out, keep in the light of it.
Growth in grace is measured not by the fact that you have not gone back, but that you have an insight into where you are spiritually; you have heard God say “Come up higher,” not to you personally, but to the insight of your character.
“Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do?” God has to hide from us what He does until by personal character we get to the place where He can reveal it.

Scenes Beyond the Grave – Marietta Davis
Chapter XXIV – Justice and Mercy
24:3
Then another voice said, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. He shall bear their iniquity. By my righteous servant I will justify many.”
Then there was a pause, during which, from the right approached a female – even Mary whom I had seen with the beasts of the stall pressing to her bosom the babe of Bethlehem – and by the expiring form bowed, over which by the aid of Mercy she extended the babe, and with reverence looked up toward the cloud. And the voice continued, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, until he send forth judgment unto victory. And in his Name shall the Gentiles trust.”
Then replied Justice, “Hath he endured temptation, and suffered with the Gate? Hath he conquered death? Can he stay the tempest of warring elements? Can he change the malign nature of that perverted heart? Can he descend the maelstrom of death, and arrest the heavy tide whose broad current thence rolls to the bottomless abyss?”
Then said Mercy, “The future shall answer thee, O, thou who holdest the balances of equity, the scales of universal right.”
When Mercy had answered, the scene changed, and upon the mount, called the Mount of Olives, I saw a being more lovely than the sons of men. He lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, “Lo! I come, in the volume of the book it is written of me, to do thy will, O God!”
Then appeared a vast multitude of deformed beings exhibiting every type of human suffering and shameful depravity; and addressing them He said; “If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me.” Whereupon another voice said, “This is the Son of David, the hope of Israel, the bright and Morning Star. Now ariseth the Sun of Righteousness. Now appeareth Truth in its redeeming glory from the Eternal Cause. Look unto him, ye who perish, for lo! He cometh to redeem.”
Again I saw the mangled form. These words had fallen upon his dull and heavy hearing, and although he scarcely understood them, he raised his eyes as if to see whence hope was proffered. And as he looked, He who stood upon the Mount descended and bowed over him saying, “What dost thou desire?” And the sufferer said, “Oh that I might find salvation!” Then answered the Personage bending over him, “I came to seek and save the lost.” Then said Justice to Mercy, “Where is thy ransom? And another voice said, “Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world.” And he who proffered redemption said, “For this cause came I unto the world.” “Even so,” said an angel, “by thy stripes is the sinner healed.”
“But,” replied Justice, “Hath he prevailed?” Then addressing Mercy he continued, “Know, thou who pleadest the sinner’s cause, that until he whom thou proposeth as Redeemer shall approach the fallen, holding in his hand these contending elements, he shall not rescue. Seekest thou still the fallen being’s salvation, his restoration to harmony?”
“Yea,” answered Mercy “for this I interpose.”

Winning the Battle for Free Speech
A Supreme Court win so important for reaching college students you haven’t heard anything about it.
Two lane blacktop, 😉 movie clip.
Lee Michaels’ big hit was one of my all-time favorites from my 5 short band years. Our organist (we didn’t call him the keyboardist) had a Farfisa Compact Deluxe plugged into a Fender Twin Reverb amp. He had this tune down cold, as well as Light My Fire by the Doors. But he could mimic most of the organ accompaniment of all the popular rock, blues and Motown tunes of the day.
Interestingly, this tune came about in 1971, near the end of our band’s existence. But it quickly became one of the most requested songs at the parties and dances we played. What a rush….
A favorite of mine, too. I still pound it out in “C” on the piano.
Yes. It is definitely a piano-based tune and written in C and the recoding is in C so you are right on key. ?
?
It better be right, I’ve been playing it as long as you have ? ?
Did your talented organist ever go places?
?
I lost touch with the other 5 men about 5 years afterwards. I think Bob our organist did join another more established regional band for awhile but beyond that I truly don’t know.

Cheetah jumps into a Safari vehicle (2:55 mins)
Over a series of posts I am going to attempt to describe the best one on one tank battle footage recorded during WW II. I will include details of the men involved on both sides. This engagement occurred when the 3rd Armored Division known as the “Third Herd” was fighting to reach the Rhine river at Cologne. Cologne is the 6th largest city in Germany.
The battle took place in the shadow of the huge Cathedral with it’s iconic twin spires.
Construction of the Cathedral began in 1248 and was not completed until 1880. Per an unwritten mutual agreement the Germans did not use the spires for artillery observation as they almost always did elsewhere and so the US forces did not shoot at the spires to bring them down as had become common practice ever since Normandy.
The following footage was filmed by Tech Sergeant Jim Bates. Bates had positioned himself to get the shot. This man was fearless. He jumped in with the 82nd Airborne at Normandy. He was right at the front during the battle of the bulge. It should be noted that out of over 1,200 War correspondents. photographers, and videographers that came ashore at Normandy in the first few days of the invasion, only about half left Europe under their own power after the end of the war. All the others were killed or wounded.
In this footage you will see a US Sherman tank taken out by a Germany Panther tank and then the Panther tank in turn taken out by a new M-26 Pershing tank which was one of the few that had made it over to see combat during the war.
Thanks. Some good belt fed footage. Specially the sling carry 1919A4, or A6 (couldn’t see if stock attached).

BE MY VOICE
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.
Post II Panther verses Pershing:
General situation. US and German
During WW II the US Army fielded 16 Armored Divisions.
The US 3rd Armored Division was one of only two “Heavy” armored divisions that fought in Europe. The other heavy Armored Division was the 2nd Armored “Hell on Wheels” division. These heavy Divisions had four Battalions of tanks and vehicles and four Battalions of mechanized infantry while the regular Armored Divisions had been reduced to three of each in 1943.
The “Third Herd”, fighting in the 1st Army, would see almost continuous combat from Normandy to the end of the war. Now they along with 104th Infantry “Timberwolf” Division were ordered to take Cologne and drive to the Rhine.
At Cologne the Germans could only field the remnants of it’s “Fire Brigade of the West”. This armored unit made up of almost all veterans, with many having already fought for years on the eastern front, had been shuffled to anywhere in the line that needed bolstered. They had been deemed to valuable to use in Hitler’s last gamble during the Battle of the Bulge.
But now the Reich was nearing it’s end and all the chips had to be put in, even though there weren’t many chips left. All they could manage was to put two Panther tanks and a single older PanzerKampfwagen IV tank across the last remaining bridge over the Rhine at Cologne to defend the city. It was a fruitless suicide mission that would have no effect on the outcome of the war and they knew it. But they were Panzers, part of the elite and they would fight anyway.

“One of Peter Boghossian’s colleagues published a hit piece on him (and another colleague) in Chronicle of Higher Education in which she denounced in particular his criticism of Critical Race Theory, one of the mainstays of Critical Social Justice. This is not at all surprising. Things are heating up on the CRT front. More on Boghossian’s response a little later.

Post III Panther verses Pershing
The crews of the tanks on both side were all similar in configuration. In the turret was the tank commander. To the left of the main gun was the loader. To the right of the main gun was the gunner. Down below in front on the left side was the driver and to his right the assistant driver also known as the bow gunner who operated a machine gun.
One block away from where the Panther hid was the Pershing leading the way towards the Rhine. The Pershing was one of the few to make it into battle and so far the men were extremely happy with the machine but they weren’t happy with the fact that with this new heavier tank they were always expected to lead the way. This crew had been picked to get one of the first Pershing tanks because it was seasoned and experienced and because the gunner, Clarence, was universally acknowledged to be the best in the out fit. Before . the war the favorite thing that Clarence would like to do was go to local roller skating rink in Lehighton, PA and skate to the music for hours.
With a 90mm gun and effective armor thickness nearly twice that of a Sherman, the Pershing could take on Panther and Tiger tanks head on which the Sherman could not.
The Pershing approached an intersection but stopped to check it before entering. It was a wise decision because behind the building to the left the Mark IV was waiting in ambush. Suddenly a car came speeding through the intersection. It was considered to be enemy by both tanks and so both the German Mk IV and Pershing peppered it with their machine guns. This car is shown in the video. Both the driver and passenger were killed. They were civilians a man and woman trying to leave the city. Clarence would have nightmares for years when he saw that woman’s body fall onto the ground out of the passenger door.
In the German tank the assistant driver had also fired his machine gun at the car. The assistant gunner was Gustav, a farm boy that was drafted. He couldn’t believe anyone would have been dumb enough to try and drive a car to escape in the middle of a battle and was upset that he had killed two of his own people.
The MKIV green tracer machine gun rounds had given it’s position away to the crew of the Pershing but the German tank was hidden behind that building. Clarence pondered the situation. The building was already bomb damaged and he decided he could knock down the wall of it right onto the German tank behind it. And that is what he did. Putting several shots of armor piercing rounds though the wall in a pattern which caused it to fall upon the German tank. Gustav and the rest of the crew had no choice. Their turret was jammed and the tank immobile under a ton of bricks. They abandoned tank.

FYI – The first URL – right under the capitalized title – works just fine.
He makes very good points about the total abuse of the word “hate” in (mis)applying it to speech or ideas that merely disagree with those of the accuser. What he says about Britain’s police is already happening in the U.S. , just not quite on such a blatant scale. But we’re not far away from that equivalence….
A discussion about ‘cord cutting’ prompted me to write this…
We cut the cord a decade ago. We have never had substitutes in the house. We’re more aware of the things going on in the world than anyone we know IRL.
I read a lot at CTH – if it’s important and covered mainstream, someone will bring it to the Treehouse. Some alternative stories are posted there, too. I read GLP for offbeat stuff and ‘breaking’ stuff. I also read ZH.
Hubby uses RSS feeds through which he follows (among others) Wolfstreet, Anti-Empire, The Saker, Unz, RT, TASS, France24, AmGreatness, AmRen, AmThinker, Navy-Matters, Moon of AL, MintPress, Tom Luongo, IrRussianality, Dances with Bears, Countercurrents, Occidental Observer, Forward, Haaretz, Jewish Telegraph Agency, Times of Israel, Foreign Policy, wire services Reuters, AP, UPI….
He scans about 100 local US newspapers (via RSS feeds with category breakdowns).
He also keeps an eye on youtube channels from Aspen Institute, Atlantic Council, and CFR just to see what topics they’re covering.
BTW, hubby puts the interesting articles on the reader feature and we connect that to a Bose so we can hear the article from anywhere in the house.
In the evenings we watch old documentaries, old movies, and youtubes.
We spend an hour or two every day in Bible study, which … that’s TRULY the BEST time of the whole day!
🙂
Good on you!
What do you use for the RSS feeds?
I keep the old Internet Explorer running just for its RSS feed capabilities. Google some years ago tried killing off RSS entirely because it was interfering with their ad revenue. They need page clicks to charge their advertisers. And Mozilla followed their lead. Brave also ignores them. None of those secondary RSS extensions work near as well as the old RSS feeds.
Thanks.
Hubby says he uses “QuiteRSS,” whatever that is, lol.
He said it’s also possible to use Thunderbird as an RSS client.
And Firefox browser has extensions to handle RSS feeds, too. He said he’s found if you have a LOT of feeds like he does, QuiteRSS works best for him.
Thanks, I looked up. I’ll give it a try.
Saint Benedict of Nursia (+ 543) was born into a wealthy Italian family. He forsook a secular education and took up the monastic life in the manner of the older Desert Fathers. Eventually he founded 12 monasteries. He once discerned that he received a glass of wine with poison in it. He made the Sign of the Cross over it and it shattered. His Life was recorded by Saint Gregory the Dialogist. Saint Benedict wrote a Rule for the monastic life followed in the West.
Saint Benedict is among the several Saints who are commemorated today, March 14th on the traditional Calendar of the Orthodox Christian Church.
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.
