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 †

I notice you don’t have to be very good looking to do this long-hair music.
You have hurt me to the core . . . <tears>
Here us something to cheer you up.
You know the fact is that “Long music” in the modern sense is Rock, and Rock borrows from every genre, including Monastic.
Lots of big smiles on the faces of the shoppers.
I really miss those days!
For decades I listened to vinyl records, AM and FM radio, cassette tapes, and then CD “records”. I never had access to “videos” of them because videos didn’t exist for the masses unless you watched a few tv shows that featured them. I never did. Ed Sullivan’s variety show occasionally featured pop music stars. Other than when he premiered the Beatles, I rarely watched his show.
I don’t ever remember caring what the artists looked like. Yet hairstyles and fashion trends often emulated pop stars.
I just loved their music and artistry. Besides still photos of them on their record album jackets, I remember seeing a few rock groups on television and thinking, they aren’t movie stars for obvious reasons, but who cares? Because their music is great.

Loved the Albinoni.
I’m going to suggest it to my wife (keyboards) to perform at church with her cellist friend.
Performed the Barber a while ago. It’s good on strings too!

I was just listening to Sibelius tonight. Great minds think alike! Gorgeous music. Thanks for posting this 🙂
I am most new to the genre. This is my first major foray into classical works.
Good taste always shows!
You’re welcome.
Ahhh, finally can relax with some quiet Sib . . . ?

FOR the dear love that kept us through the night,
And gave our senses to sleep’s gentle sway,—
For the new miracle of dawning light
Flushing the east with prophecies of day.
We thank thee, O our God!

Cremation
By Pastor Paul M. Sadler
“The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.” — Psalm 90:10
With the rising cost of funerals these days many families are faced with the decision as to whether or not cremation should be considered as a viable option to burial. Many have concluded that this is an acceptable alternative since the matter is not addressed in Paul’s epistles, and we are living under grace. While there does seem to be liberty here, perhaps it is the better part of wisdom to consult the whole counsel of God.
In Biblical times cremation of the body was primarily identified with the pagan nations of the world. According to the Old Testament there were a few isolated occurrences of this practice, although they always seem to be associated with judgment or cases of emergency rather than merely disposing of the body (Josh. 7:25,26; I Sam. 31:6-13).
Consequently, cremation was more the exception than the rule.
Throughout the Scriptures it is said that they buried their dead.
“Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah…”
“Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.”
“And the young men arose, wound him [Ananias] up, and carried him out, and buried him.”
In keeping with the Word of God, we believe it is preferable to bury our loved ones even though we may have liberty to do otherwise. Of course, the additional financial burden can be eased by planning ahead for our inevitable departure. The services that normally accompany a funeral bring the unsaved face to face with their own mortality.
Thus, the occasion, heartbreaking as it may be, has often been used of the Lord to bring many sons to glory. Whatever your conviction may be on the matter, it is important to heed the words of the Apostle Paul:
“Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind” (Rom. 14:5).

Psalm 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
Joshua 7:25 And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
26 And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
1 Samuel 31:6 So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
7 And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
8 ¶ And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
9 And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
10 And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
11 And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
12 All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
13 And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
Genesis 23:19 And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
John 19:40 Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
Acts 5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
Romans 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

One really couldn’t make this stuff up! Global Warming is Causing More Severe Winters – Watts Up With That?
Meanwhile nearly a month out when the stratospheric warming was occurring Joe Bastardi not only forecast the Arctic air would penetrate south but said it would come down into N. America.
He was derided by the crowd for this forecast and chided before it actually happened.
And then Joe Bastardi who was telling everyone that Arctic Blast was coming and warned the governor of Texas that the effect on the state would be the equivalent of a “CAT V” hurricane, and turned out to be correct, gets labeled as a “Fringe meteorologist” after the fact by the same crowd. that was chiding him before for forecasting it.
And still true believers, believe in the competence of these charlatans and their climate models. And they call us “deniers”?
The simple fact is that for a hypothesis to be valid it must be able to be falsified. But in so called “climate science” there is no weather or climate that will falsify their hypothesis of catastrophic human caused climate change. Thus “climate science” as practiced by the modelers is not science at all.
Dora, I m reading this on my iPad and accidentally flagged your comment. I think I was able to unflag it but my apologies anyway.

Verse of the Day for Friday, March 5, 2021
✟
“O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.”
Psalms 104:24 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
BE MY VOICE
Thousand thumbs up!
That’s definitely being “all thumbs” then.
IS HE REALLY LORD?
“…so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus.” Acts xx. 24
Joy means the perfect fulfilment of that for which I was created and regenerated, not the successful doing of a thing. The joy Our Lord had lay in doing what the Father sent Him to do, and He says – “As My Father hath sent Me, even so am I sending you.” Have I received a ministry from the Lord? If so, I have to be loyal to it, to count my life precious only for the fulfilling of that ministry. Think of the satisfaction it will be to hear Jesus say – “Well done, good and faithful servant”; to know that you have done what He sent you to do. We have all to find our niche in life, and spiritually we find it when we receive our ministry from the Lord. In order to do this we must have companied with Jesus; we must know Him as more than a personal Saviour. “I will show him how great things he must suffer FOR MY SAKE.”
“Lovest thou Me?” Then – “Feed My sheep.” There is no choice of service, only absolute loyalty to Our Lord’s commission; loyalty to what you discern when you are in closest contact with God. If you have received a ministry from the Lord Jesus, you will know that the need is never the call: the need is the opportunity. The call is loyalty to the ministry you received when you were in real touch with Him. This does not imply that there is a campaign of service marked out for you, but it does mean that you will have to ignore the demands for service along other lines.

Scenes Beyond the Grave – Marietta Davis
Chapter XV – The Phantom Sphere (Marietta visits Hell)
15:7 (continuation of the accosting spirit)
Overcome by her deep feelings, she yielded to the manifestation of grief, and I heard her speak no more; whereupon another spirit drew near, and addressing me, said:
“Go, leave us to our lot. Your presence gives us pain, since it revives the more active memory of lost opportunities; the indulgence of propensities that folded around the soul the elements of evil magnetism, and pervaded the spirit with its deadly miasma.”
Here the spirit paused a moment, then continued, “No, tarry; prompted by a cause I know not, I am desirous to reveal what we have learned while here, relative to the power and influence of evil and its magnetism upon the spirit of man, which, though while man inhabits the tenement of clay is exceedingly subtle, when the spirit leaves the outer world and enters the interior world, forms the external sphere of his existence. Here it is the more external. In the world whence we came, it is the invisible and interior; but now it is our outward dwelling. It arises from the deep. It unfolds from the soul. It encompasses all, pervades all, controls and inspires all. Mortals are opposed to the this truth, and from the love and goodness of God, they reason that there can not be suffering in the spirit of man. This reasoning charges evil upon God, since evil and suffering exist with the family of man in the outer world and with us prevail. The cause of this is obvious, and yet men seek to reject the principle.”
“When the harmony and movement of law is disturbed or prevented, evil consequences ensue. Man, by counteracting the movement of law in himself, produces a contrary effect from what is indicated, and therefore, that which was ordained unto life – that which should have perfected him – by improper tendencies, is operative unto death; sin therefore, or the violation of law, unfits the being for proper development, and hence, the violator being removed from harmony, dies unto (ceases to exist in) the law of peace and holy development.”
“This great and irrevocable truth is manifest in every degree of physical and moral movement, where law meets with obstruction; and we have its fruits with us in abundant and fearful harvest.”
“Why will not mortals reason and discover the results of action, and by preventing the growth of evil and by cleaving unto God, through heaven appointed means, escape these fearful consequences? Marietta, you are not one of us, else these elements would have enveloped your being and absorbed your life. But you will return to realms of peace. Madness and delirium arise and rage within us upon being cited to scenes where love, pure love, and peace abide. You are thus addressed because of your return to earth. Tell the inhabitants thereof what you have seen, and warn them of the danger awaiting those who persist in the gratification of impure desires.”
One hideous expression closed the scene; and being overcome – for I knew what I had witnessed was real – I was immediately removed. Those spirits I had known on Earth, and when I saw them there I knew them still. Oh, how changed! They were the very embodiment of sorrow and remorse. How ardently I desired that they might escape and become pure, and receive an inheritance with those blessed spirits I visited in the Paradise of Peace.

The garbage Mann is spreading his garbage again via the “Journal Science”.
Humans, not nature, may be changing Atlantic hurricane cycles (msn.com)
First off Mann is not distinguished. He is a proven liar.
His “hockey stick” is a tree ring study running up until his tree rings did not agree with the well established meteorological temperature record and then he grafted that record onto the end of his tree ring study to get the spike in temperature he wanted. Grafting two different data sets like that runs against all principles of scientific integrity.
Secondly he was caught lying in court! In his on going case against Mark Steyn he gave himself the title of “Nobel prize winner”. He has no Nobel Prize and caught .
Finally, here is a video of a real Scientist proving Mann a liar in real time before a Congressional Committee.
Mann is not “distinguished” by any stretch of the imagination and the fact that Penn State has given him that title says all I need to know about that University without even factoring in their other problems over the past years. I wouldn’t send my dog there even if it was free.
Should that be The State Pen? That’s where he belongs.
Careful. Same statement got Tim Ball sued by Mann. It took about 20 years before Tim was awarded a win. I hope it had some money attached.
Because it’s all “for the people” don’t ya know. Prepackaged for that H.R. 1 freshness.

Peter Grant offers some observations.
US politics have now become a war for survival – for both sides
“I’ve written several articles pointing out that we can’t vote our way out of this mess. When the November 2020 elections were stolen – literally, through electoral fraud – the conservative side of US politics was (rightly) furious; but they’re talking in terms of winning the next election, and undoing the damage. That’s not going to happen. The electoral legislation that the Democratic Party is right now ramming through Congress is designed to ensure that it alone wins elections from now on. Anyone else won’t get a look-in unless the powers that be decide to throw the other side a bone or two, to satisfy those they consider dangerous or obsessive.
“. . .
“TINVOWOOT. There Is No Voting Our Way Out Of This.”
Yup, the fraudulent 2020 election has to be fixed in 2021.
They stole it.
We know it.
President Trump is a master of leveraging the enemy’s power to defeat the enemy.
He has been winning since he announced in 2015 ….. that is the reason they had to steal the 2020 election …..
Just because they think the election is over, doesn’t make it so.
They lie.

“I’m directing senior officials in my administration to work with industrial leaders to identify solutions to the semiconductor shortfall,” Biden said on Wednesday. “Congress has authorized a bill but they need … $37 billion to make sure that we have this capacity. I’ll push for that as well.”
The chip shortage, which in some cases is forcing automakers to take employees off production lines, is the latest example of supply bottlenecks.
“Make no mistake, we’re not simply planning to order up reports. We are planning to take actions to close gaps as we identify them,” an administration official previewing the executive order said.
Having worked in this industry for two decades, I am perplexed. I am mystified how yet to be determined supply chain issues already have a determined solution cost of $37 billion. Besides, the requirements of the domestic auto industry can probably be covered by 2 to 4 days of global semiconductor production annually. Something smells here.
Report of the Committee of the Town of Boston.
Containing a Narrative of the Late Massacre.
“A short Narrative of the horrid Massacre in Boston, perpetrated in the evening of the Fifth Day of March, 1770, by Soldiers of the XXIXth Regiment; which with the XIVth Regiment were then quartered there: with some observations on the State of Things prior to that catastrophe.
“IT may be a proper introduction to this narrative, briefly to represent the state of things for some time previous to the said Massacre; and this seems necessary in order to the forming a just idea of the causes of it.”
Freedom is dying. Be of good cheer.
“We’ve been watching freedom be throttled, stomped, and shoved off a cliff for most of our lifetimes.
“I hardly need mention that the downward plunge has accelerated in the last year and especially the last few weeks.
“The murder of freedom has been a boon for oligarchs, plutocrats, useful idiots, fans of Marx and Gramsci, co-opters of the name of Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus, and thousands of pathetic over-schooled conformist nobodies in online mobs who could never gain so much power over others through brains or hard work (who are currently enjoying their brief ascendency, not realizing the Jacobins will eventually come for their heads, too).”

“Where do you intend to get the power to charge these cars?
The grid can’t support it. Let’s just see the grid build-out plans — and funding — to replace part of the cars now out there. Pick a percentage around 50%; I don’t much care exactly how much, but make it “real” and then tell me when you intend to start building the generating plants that take 10 to 20 years to permit and construct and exactly what energy source they’re going to use, never mind the distribution side of it. Oh, and you have to pay for that capital investment before you get paid in the form of electric bills too. Where’s that going to come from and how do you intend to fund it? Unicorn farts?
We all know where this is going, right? Transportation as a service. Which is great until Uber — or the government — decides they don’t like you, stranding you 500 miles from home in 20 degree weather. Now what?

One of the blessings of the stupid pandemic is that my cousin Pat started recording her church music. I share this lovely piece. I have missed hearing her every Sunday since I moved away from home.
labrat, this is beautiful. You are blessed to have such talent in your church, much less in your family! And what a beautiful church it is. I love that the tabernacle is where it belongs, directly behind the altar and under the crucifix. In our church it is off to one side. I hope you will post more vids of your talented cousin.
A couple of small quibbles for the new design. I usually view on a large desktop monitor.
The line length is too long; coupled with so much whiteness in the margins on both sides it’s making my eyes buggy.
Second quibble is the lack of color differentiation for working links.
Having a similar problem with the starkness, also bothering my eyes. Am using large desktop monitor as well.
Just logging in as I can’t see all comments. I have already cleared my internet history.
Today, I prayed her away right through her own in-box. I may have added a bit more descriptiveness to encourage her own much needed self-reflection, and also God’s justice to be covered upon her.

Update on 1.9 Trillion slush:
In a 50-49 margin, Senate just voted to move the slush to a reconciliation vote.
reconciliation vote? What’s that you say?
little background and explano:
WHEN AND WHY DOES CONGRESS USE RECONCILIATION?
Reconciliation is, essentially, a way for Congress to enact legislation on taxes, spending, and the debt limit with only a majority (51 votes, or 50 if the vice president breaks a tie) in the Senate, avoiding the threat of a filibuster, which requires 60 votes to overcome. Because Democrats have 50 seats in the Senate—plus a Democratic vice president—reconciliation is a way to get a tax-and-spending bill to the president’s desk even if all 50 Republicans oppose it.
Since its first use in 1980, reconciliation has been used to enact 21 bills (four others were passed but vetoed by the president), including such significant pieces of legislation as major deficit reduction bills in the 1980s and 1990s, welfare reform in 1996, the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 2003, and the Trump tax cuts in 2017. It also played a big role in shaping the Affordable Care Act in 2010. Republicans tried and failed to use reconciliation to repeal large parts of the Affordable Care Act in 2016 and 2017. President Obama vetoed the 2016 attempt; the “no” votes of three Republican senators blocked the 2017 effort.
HOW DOES THE RECONCILIATION PROCESS WORK?Congress is supposed to pass a blueprint for tax and spending bills called a budget resolution every year, though it doesn’t always do so. A budget resolution requires approval of a majority vote in the House and in the Senate (not 60 votes). The president plays no role. The Congressional Budget Act
permits the use of the reconciliation process only if the House and Senate first agree on a budget resolution that includes “reconciliation instructions,” that is, dollar targets for committees to raise or lower spending or revenues for a given fiscal year or a period of years. Such resolutions do not detail what specific legislative changes a committee should adopt to meet its targets. After the committees finish their work, the budget committees in the House and Senate assemble the recommendations into a single omnibus bill—the reconciliation bill. In the House, as with any legislation, the majority rules. In the Senate, a reconciliation bill requires only a majority. Once both houses agree on this omnibus bill, it goes to the president to sign or veto”
