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 †

Descendants of the Sun – Unsettled Ways – Gordon Lightfoot
(starts in silence) Korean military drama of the relationship and conflicts between a Special Forces Captain and a medical doctor. Even though as an emergency physician, the doctor has to put her medicine above her relationships, she doesn’t want a relationship with a Special Forces soldier that she can’t rely will always be there for her. Song Joong Ki was married for several years to his co-star in this movie, Song Hye Kyo.

Sorry, wrong YouTube url. “I Will Hold My Ground” was the first one. This is “I Will Think of You.”
A little something to calm the nerves. Great group from the ’80s.
Good News From Calvary
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
All through the Old Testament the cross is but dimly seen. Though a hundred historical characters and a hundred more Levitical sacrifices and rituals were typical of Christ and His finished work, not once does the Old Testament state this. The silence is profound. The clearest Old Testament prophecy of Christ’s death, Isaiah 53, does not even specify who the Sufferer would be.
It was the same during our Lord’s stay on earth, for only toward the close of His ministry do we read: “From that time forth began Jesus to show unto His disciples how that He must go unto Jerusalem and suffer… and be killed…” (Matt. 16:21). And what was their response? “Then Peter took Him and began to rebuke Him” (Ver. 22). Luke 18:34 states three times that they did not have the slightest idea that He would even die, much less did they understand all that His death would accomplish. Even at Pentecost Peter blamed his hearers for the death of Christ and said to them: “repent and be baptized every one of you… for the remission of sins” (Acts 2:38). The twelve were preaching “the gospel of the kingdom” and knew little about the cross and its purpose.
Not until the Apostle Paul, that other apostle, do we have what is properly called “the preaching of the cross,” i.e., as good news. And in Paul’s great message our Lord is no longer seen as the Victim, but as the Victor, not merely after death, or over death, but in death. His death itself is seen as His greatest triumph. In Heb. 10:12,14 we read:
“…after He had offered one sacrifice for sins [He] sat down… for by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.”
And in Col. 2:14,15 Paul describes Christ at Calvary nailing the Law to the cross and utterly defeating Satan and his hosts, “triumphing over them in it (i.e., in the cross).” Little wonder the Apostle exclaimed:
“God forbid that I should boast, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ…” (Gal. 6:14).
https://www.bereanbiblesociety.org/good-news-from-calvary/
Matthew 16:21 ¶ From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Matt 16:22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
Luke 18:34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Galatians 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
“The twelve were preaching “the gospel of the kingdom” and knew little about the cross and its purpose.”
What was known and preached was appropriate to the time and purpose. Per Luke 24:44-48 — “And He said unto to them, “These are my words, which I spoke to you being still with you, that all things having been written concerning Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms, it behooves to be fulfilled. Then He opened their mind to understand the Scriptures. And He said to them, “Thus it has been written: The Christ was to suffer and to rise out from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins to be proclaimed in His name to all nations, having begun from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.”
At that point, the message given to Peter once his eyes (and those of the other apostles, per Luke 24:45) were opened understandably began with Jews and contained a focus that Jesus is the Messiah promised to their fathers (Acts 2-5) — which did include preaching of the cross (Acts 2:36, 4:10, 5:30) as appropriate to the audience. As the gospel steadily spread from Jerusalem to greater Judea and Samaria, Peter then preached the cross to Gentiles after further special revelation. Note how the gospel proclaimed is to the same effect for Jews and Gentiles:
Acts 10:34-36 — “And Peter, having opened the mouth, said, ‘Of a truth I understand that God is not One who shows partiality, but in every nation, the one fearing Him and working righteousness is acceptable to Him, the word that He sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming the gospel, peace by Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all.'”
Note Peter’s preaching of the cross / tree to Gentiles appropriate to the audience in verses 39 to 43:
“And we are witnesses of all things that He did, both in the region of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they also put to death, having hanged Him on a tree. This One God raised up on the third day, and gave Him to become manifest, not to all the people, but to the witnesses having been chosen beforehand by God, to us who did eat with and drink with Him after His rising out from the dead. And He instructed us to proclaim to the people and to testify fully that He is the One having been appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead. To Him all the prophets bear witness that everyone believing in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”
I really don’t think I have much to say about these pieces or their composers except that, even though they are separeated by centuries, their respect for the ability of the lute and guitar to express their musical intent is both confirmed and richly rewarded by by these two virtuosos performances. I think Buxtehude and Barrios would have understood each other perfectly.
Lone protester at Florida Capitol in Tallahassee. His message “Share the Love” TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A lone demonstrator was the only person to show up at the State Capitol in Tallahassee Sunday. His message — “share the love.”
Honestly… when I saw this story… it brought me to tears…
He’s been on the streets on the forgotten coast after Cat 5 Michael hurricane also.. Please don’t relocate to the area unless you can embrace the same values..
His sign says…”He’s got the whole world..in his hands”…share the love’

Thank you, BlueBird. It’s kind of a hoot considering everyone is tense and braced for action. Guy has a sense of humor AND a great message.
I remember seeing posts about him as the good people struggled to over come the Cat 5 Michael..I don’t know who he is … but what a simple message..and hopes for healing. he inspired many with his message I think he is one of the “innocent.”.. Another you tube…. Is this the end of the innocence? Open thread….. I need to remember this ….
lyrics:
Remember when the days were long
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn’t have a care in the world
With mommy and daddy standing by
When “happily ever after” fails
And we’ve been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details
Since daddy had to fly
But I know a place where we can go
That’s still untouched by man
We’ll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass wave in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
O’ beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They’re beating plowshares into swords
For this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail
And we’ve been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers clean up all details
Since daddy had to lie
But I know a place where we can go
And was away this sin
We’ll sit and watch the clouds roll by
And the tall grass wave in the wind
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair spill all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
Who knows how long this will last
Now we’ve come so far, so fast
But, somewhere back there in the dust
That same small town in each of us
I need to remember this
So baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look
Before we say good bye
Just lay your head back on the ground
And let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense
But this is the end
This is the end of the innocence
on juke box roll. The show goes on..
“What’s the long face, what’s all the crying for
Didn’t you expect it when you opened your door
To the man with the long coat and the long list of victims
Everybody watching knows he’s the one keeping score
From where she sits, everyone stands in judgment People watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long slow fade
The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
Everyone watching all along
The show goes on, as the autumn’s coming
And the summer’s all gone Still without you, the show goes on
Some say she’s alright, some say she’ll never learn
Some rush into things, some stand and wait their turn
I’ve been here all along standing here all this time But you never noticed, just let the same tired flames burn
From where she sits, everyone stands in judgment
People watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long slow fade
The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
Everyone watching all along The show goes on, as the autumn’s coming And the summer’s all gone
Still without you, the show goes on
Time is passing, slowly passing you by
You better try to find it before it passes you by
As I watch you walking to another cold dawn
And you keep on walking And they keep on talking Talking all along
From where she sits, everyone stands in judgment
People watching as the curtain falls down
See the lights do a long slow fade
The show goes on, and the sad-eyed sisters go walking on
Everyone watching all along The show goes on, as the autumn’s coming
And the summer’s all gone
Still without you, the show goes on
I used to like his music until i found out how pro abortion he is. End of the innocence.
I did not know that. Yep, many of these musicians sing one tune and play another.
Yes….kind of like Bono coming out in support of abortion in Ireland. I’d been a fan for 2 decades. I found it particularly disturbing from someone who has gone on at length about his ‘faith’.
My feelings too. And toward his paramour Stevie Nicks, who proudly admits to aborting the baby he did not want. I sometimes wonder about the talent their offspring might have shown had the baby been allowed to live.
Same with actors, most are crazy liberals. Once you see them in truth you go “eeeewww”
Having said that, I know a fella who writes songs that famous singers sing, publish as their own. He gets paid but the songs go under their name. Famous by proxy.
So, in the world of spiritual, is it the singer or song writer that reaps the harvest?
Just a thought.
One of my favorite songs, thanks for posting the lyrics, BlueBird. We are fortunate to be in Florida.
I didn’t really know the politics..sometimes just a phrase in a song captures a mood. I don’t like fighting and I had hoped for a more peaceful transfer of power. The question of election integrity of 2020 is not resolved, however I think Biden will be inaugurated Wednesday…Perhaps life and the workd of politics isn’t fair. isn’t fair..wee hour musings is all.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.

The 50th Psalm from the Septuagint (or the 51st in the KJV) is a central part of daily prayers and services for Orthodox Christians since the Holy Apostles. So many generations have memorized it, prayed it, and lived it. (So many learned the entire Psalter by heart routinely.) And it has been the custom, maybe not so much now, to read the Psalter while standing next to or near the body of the newly reposed that was placed in the church up until the beginning of a funeral service to comfort the person’s soul.

Amen and amen.
Prayers today for all Treepers, all Patriots, for God’s wisdom on how to act, and what to act. Prayers for every individual in We the People, that we can do what is necessary to continue to bring this Nation back to repentance.
Amen Doc! ?

IT IS THE LORD!
“Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord and my God.” John xx. 28
“Give Me to drink.” How many of us are set upon Jesus Christ slaking our thirst when we ought to be satisfying Him? We should be pouring out now, spending to the last limit, not drawing on Him to satisfy us. “Ye shall be witnesses unto Me” – that means a life of unsullied, uncompromising and unbribed devotion to the Lord Jesus, a satisfaction to Him wherever He places us.
Beware of anything that competes with loyalty to Jesus Christ. The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him. It is easier to serve than to be drunk to the dregs. The one aim of the call of God is the satisfaction of God, not a call to do something for Him. We are not sent to battle for God, but to be used by God in His battlings. Are we being more devoted to service than to Jesus Christ?

Verse of the Day for Monday, January 18, 2021
✟
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.”
John 13:34 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
Be My Voice – I am a CHILD – not a CHOICE!!!
From the lesson yesterday:
And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 1 Kings 19:12b
The message in that whisper to Elijah:
The Lord said to him, “Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu. Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.” 1 Kings 19:15-18
The judgment of God comes certainly but often not as expected. Elijah was at a point of depression over events. Things had not proceeded as he expected. The people were behind him, but Ahab and Jezebel doubled down on their evil. He escaped to Mount Horeb, and this was the quiet message from God: Go back to what you were doing, there will be new kings and you will have a replacement. There is a remnant of 7000 people set aside to help. This group would be the hand of God in judgment but not one of them were currently in the battle.
“point of depression over events”
Yes, even the great men of God had to deal with the difference between God’s timeline and ours! Even today we suffer thru this, waiting on God … ?
Jezebel, Jezebel hmmm, you mean the one the dogs ate in the street??
I thought about this for some time.
Ya know God has a justice. And his justice comes from the mouth it is pronounced on.
He judges by your standard of judgement.
Don’t be shocked by the judgment that soon comes upon these people who ‘think’ they are in power. Remember, it’s their idea, just wasn’t intended for them, but you.
Vengeance is mine says the Lord.
I’ve tried to distill down to a minimum the very best of the presentation of evidence (dare I say ‘proof’) of the theft of the election for my two adult sons. This is what I came up with (turned to a blog entry),
Thoughts: Speaking the obvious (nexttobagend.blogspot.com)
I don’t see a future for wrestling the RNC check book out of the hands of the corrupt fossils. Forming an ‘American’ party from the Dems who aren’t marxists and the Repubs who aren’t corrupt seems to make best sense.
In any case, God help us!

I understand the need for safety. I want safety. I want safety for the unborn.
Risk versus Threat. This is another way to silence us. We ought to be in DC saying the “St. Michael Prayer”.
Now is the time to adopt a Gandhi type approach to protest. Peaceful civil disobedience. The yellow vests of France. It is not easy to stop the communists, but we have to try.We have to be brave because they want to silence us and kill us. We cannot let fear of arrest and public shaming stop us from our right to protest for our country.
We are now the oppressed. “We shall overcome” can be our song now.

Yes, indeed, lindak. Timeless classic. Thanks for posting.
‘Fraid that’s going to be our only path, and not hopeless at that. Only thing that bothered me about the commentary is the last part: “For the record, I doubt that fraud won the election for Biden (why didn’t the Democrats fake ballots for the House as well as the White House?).” Who says they didnt? Am I missing something here?
the Youtube series BY_THEBOOK is very interesting
https://twitter.com/thisisntheone/status/1351210755719356418
The Truth is immune to the human condition, to the human perception of events. Our senses are flooded with information.Job 10:11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
What was clothed with skin and flesh, bones and sinew? The real, TRUE, Job. The perfect Spiritual reflection of God. THAT is what was clothed with skin and flesh and bones and sinew.
What does skin and flesh and bone and sinew tell us about who we are? Nothing. Those are “material”, human attributes. They do not inform us about the Truth of who we are, and what we are, which are perfect Spiritual reflections of God.
If we focus on what our skin and flesh and bone and sinew tell us, then we are NOT listening to the Truth, from God, our sole creator, who, through his will manifested our being, to BE a perfect SPIRITUAL reflection of Him.
It is when we get caught up in the human veil that we lose sight of our TRUE selves. We lose sight of and forget that God did NOT make us to suffer. But to stand upright, tall, proud, as children of God.
The human veil is so pervasive, so persuasive and so reinforced on a daily, minute-by-minute basis that it is easy to forget that IT IS NOT REAL!
How can it NOT BE REAL?
Because Job reminds us that our TRUE self, the perfect Spiritual reflections of God that we ARE, is “clothed…with skin and flesh…bones and sinews”
What we are supposed to be doing is recognizing that FACT, and working on a daily basis to see ourselves and this world for what it is…an illusion. Not reality.
When you accept that TRUTH, then will your faith be rewarded. When belief turns into knowledge, then we Trust. You can love God all you want, but until you Trust God, you won’t respect God. And if you Love God only, but don’t Trust God, then you don’t have a true relationship with God, and so Respect will NEVER manifest.
That’s not true, you say. Does the parent of a child with a substance abuse issue have a TRUE relationship with that child if they ONLY love the child? No. Because the parent can’t TRUST the child, it doesn’t matter how much they love the child, they do NOT have a full, complete relationship.
God is waiting for us, individually, and collectively to TRUST Him.
The hard part? People TRUST what their senses tell them. They trust the human veil, not the TRUTH that we are first perfect, Spiritual beings created by God to reflect God’s perfection.
I love you all, and I am typing this not to preach, BUT TO REMIND MYSELF OF THE HUMAN VEIL…
because I am a sinner, too, and it’s hard.
But, like PDJT says, nothing worth doing, and the road less travelled is never easy.
Make it a mantra.
OVERCOME THE HUMAN VEIL
The Truth is here, now. GOD is here now. Know it, don’t just believe it.
STOP calling them Democrats and Republicans. They are neither and have proven themselves unworthy of such a distinguished moniker. Call them what they are: Self-appointed Rulers.
STOP believing the Two-Party Myth.
Wake up and realize that no matter what side of the pretend aisle you worship at, YOUR vote as a free American has been tainted to the point of invalidation. Come Wednesday, We the People will cease to be “Citizens”. We will all be “Subjects”. No matter WHO you voted for. That’s a fairly advantageous position to be in if you’re a member of the Political Ruling Class. If you believe this is a coincidence, allow me to share this quote with you: “There are no coincidences in politics.”-FDR… Welcome to subjugation, enjoy your illusion of choice.
STOP giving these charlatans any more power.
Those who employ the “Two-Party Myth” and “Identity Politics” in general have successfully divided We the People. It is time to to put this to rest by failing to acknowledge they are different from anything other than what they truly are: The Enemies of Liberty.
START by acknowledging your FREE AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY.
After all, your sovereignty and your identity as an American is exactly what they are after. The COTUS is CHRYSTAL CLEAR as to the obligation of every American Citizen and how it pertains to protecting the Republic of The United States of America. If you’re not familiar with it. Read it. It defines who we all are as Americans. Accept no substitutes… because there are none. You’re either free or you are not. What’s it gonna be?

Watching all the recent events and all the maneuverings of the GOP, I thought this would be a good time to re-post some background music to watch it by. Don’t bother listening to Graham’s and the others’ explanations and excuses. Just mute them and play this while you watch them. Works for programs on CNNCBSNBCABCMSNBCFOX as well.
It also works to let it play in your head while you listen to your boss explain why you won’t be getting that raise/bonus/promotion, or to your car mechanic explaining why an oil change costs 2 bills, or to your mayor/governor explain why you can’t go to church or a restaurant or a bar but he/she can have a big party. Perfect accompaniment to packs of lies..
Rush had a never Trump guy on. Then Rush says, listen we no Donald Trump lost the election. He slipped up there, we didn’t lose it they stole it. That’s what Rush should be saying. They stole it. But once again gotta play both sides to keep people tuned in. Like Michael Jordon once said, everyone wears Nikes.

Remember that GOD is in Heaven and we are on earth. He knows all, He sees all. May you dwell under the shadow of HIS wing in the upcoming weeks.
Here’s an Internet Idea for how to peacefully separate the ‘Blue’ from the ‘Red’ states…! Up for Serious consideration:
A divorce agreement between liberal and conservative America
A reader sent this e-mail which was written by a law student and has been circulating among conservatives: I’ve edited it slightly.
DIVORCE AGREEMENT
Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, Obama & Biden/Harris supporters, et al.:
We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course.
Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our separate ways.
Here is a model separation agreement: Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes.
We don’t like redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. Since you hate guns and war, we’ll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA and the military. We’ll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you can go with wind, solar, and biodiesel. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O’Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of them.
We’ll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart and Wall Street. You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies and illegal aliens. We’ll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO’s and rednecks. We’ll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood.
You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we’ll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we’ll help provide them security.
We’ll keep our Judeo-Christian values. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness and Shirley McClain. You can also have the U.N. but we will no longer be paying the bill.
We’ll keep the SUV’s, pickup trucks and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can find.
You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors. We’ll keep “The Battle Hymn of the Republic” and “The National Anthem.” I’m sure you’ll be happy to substitute “Imagine”, “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing”, “Kum Ba Ya” or “We Are the World”.
We’ll practice trickledown economics and you can continue to give trickle up poverty your best shot. Since it often so offends you, we’ll keep our history, our name, and our flag.
Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I’ll bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15 years.
Sincerely, John J. Wall
Law Student and an American
P. S. Also, please take Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand, & Jane Fonda with you.
P. S. S. And you won’t have to press 1 for English when you call our country.

Agree!! I can’t like ??
So today John Ratcliffe finally tells Congress that China interfered with our election. So doesn’t that trigger Trump’s right to invoke the insurrection act?
I mean, he has a whole day tomorrow to do it—–foreign interference, that’s what it’s for, right? /s
Who released John Sullivan WITHOUT bail after his actions at the Capital?
Any reason given why?

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.
Rescued from the evil bin that never stops eating the posts of the innocent. 🙁
Amen. And Lord please protect General Flynn and his family, and all Patriots and freedom loving people around the world.
Amen.
