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 †

Can anyone, anywhere, point to any country’s 2020 annual death figure where it shows a spike in deaths?
Any percentage increase would need to be spiked beyond normal yearly percentage increases.
Any increase in total deaths would also need to show a substantial spike in ‘deaths per thousand’.
From what I’ve seen, everywhere looks perfectly normal – the usual number of people are dying.
I don’t think that anyone has died of old age in the past year.
How can you not love a tango???

Happy Cursday, Treepers! After a particularly rough week, I went looking for some happy endings.
This one is about a good man, a good dog, and what the mystical bond between humans and dogs can accomplish. This just goes to show how both man and dog benefit from that bond. I think our Lord encouraged our dog ancestors to bond with us and be our friends and helpers. We and they are better for it.
And here’s another happy ending . You just gotta’ love this little girl . . . and her rabbit. 🙂
Adorable!
I thought so too. 🙂
Thank you Garrison. That brightened my day!
Besides being adorable, she’s an amazing ventriloquist with an exceptional voice.
Trifecta!
Go down the “Darcy rabbit hole!” She’s more than adorable!!!!

Bath my eye! That cat is showering! Made sure he (she?) cleaned the “personal“ parts too.
I’m trying to imagine what the what the water pressure the cat is experiencing would equate to for a human. Maybe like a small waterfall…
I don’t think they make Rainshower heads that small….. ?
The Gospel Of Salvation
By Pastor Paul M. Sadler
With the souls of men hanging in the eternal balance, it is extremely important to give a clear presentation of the gospel. We have always marveled at how the Holy Spirit sorts through the maze of confusion regarding the various plans of salvation that have been developed over the years. Although all these plans contain an element of truth, they leave the door open to mislead the sinner.
Plan One:
Plan Two:
Plan Three:
There are two serious flaws with the above plans. First, they confuse the terms of salvation under the kingdom gospel with the gospel of the grace of God. Second, the sinner could easily place his trust in what he has done, instead of the Savior. Therefore we suggest the following:
The Scriptural Terms of Salvation:
If you have trusted Christ as your personal Savior, why not pray and thank God for your salvation.
Beloved, the unsaved are dangling over the lake of fire by one thin thread of human existence. The only thing that is standing between them and eternal judgment is the good news of Christ and Him crucified. May the Lord give us a burden for lost souls, for “now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.”

Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Matthew 3:2 And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Romans 12:1 ¶ I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Mark 1:5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
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.
2Corinthians 6:1 ¶ We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

Perfection. Thanks for posting this. Satie is timeless and never grows old. 🙂
YW, Garrison.
And you’re right about Satie. (!)
Thank you. I miss Paris, wanted to see it in the spring. I am not a big city fan but enjoy Paris and Rome.
The impressionist paintings and beautiful French piano composers make Paris seem so romantic and dreamy- moreso than it actually is.
…which says a lot about the wonderful art that came out of that city at the turn of the century.
Happy Cursday, y’all
Nim..that picture is beautiful. I love to see children loved. To many kids these days are victims of the insanity around us. This dear dog on the couch with a young boy in pajamas just screams wholesome family through and through.
Thanks for posting. Your pics are always a treat.

I made it! The second regen did it! But because of the time wasted and the distance I was once again very close on time and had to do the same thing I did earlier this week. Once again had 4 minutes left on my driving clock when I pulled into the fuel island.
No matter what though I was going to get as far west and south as I could before I parked to take a break. The signs are clear they’re getting snow up there. I noticed that I-71 from the junction with I-76 west of Akron, OH down to where I got off on US 30 at Mansfield, OH had been prepped with slurry. So Ohio DOT was on the ball.
BTW I pass right by the famous Shawshank prison in Mansfield. Really there is no Shawshank prison. It is a fictional prison that is supposed to be in Maine. But in the movie they used the now closed Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield, OH for the outside shots showing the prison. The place is open for tours BTW for anyone into that. Personally I visited Alcatraz years ago and that was enough for me to get the idea.
Here is the deal on the truck. I drive a 2015 Cascadia Freight Liner. I have been driving since it was new. They offered me a 2021 Volvo when they bought some and I refused. My 2015 does not have all the BS proximity alarms and lane departure warnings and I like it that way. This job can be frustrating enough sometimes with the truck bitching at me all the time. So I intend on driving this Freight Liner until I retire!
The truck has what is called idle management. Besides the regular batteries under the floor on the drivers side it has another bank of batteries between the frame rails under the utility deck behind the back wall of the sleeper.
Those batteries are for running the climate control system in the truck when it is parked. They run an
an A/C unit for the sleeper or a Webasto type heater. The A/C unit for the sleeper is completely separate from the regular A/C and only runs on batteries. It has it’s limitations though. I will keep me comfortable in the sun in 85 deg. F weather if I pull both sets of curtains closed. Anything hotter than that forget it. Idle the truck and run the main A/C unit.
A Webasto heater is just a little furnace that burns diesel fuel. The ignitor and fan run off the batteries. Now that heater would keep one warm in Antarctica. It really puts out the heat.
When the truck is parked and on idle management when the batteries drop below a certain voltage or the oil temperature of the engine gets too cold the engine automatically starts up and recharges the batteries and/or warms the oil.
The system really isn’t bad at all when it’s working correctly. But mine hasn’t been working correctly. It will start the engine one cycle and then start it for the second cycle but then immediately shut down. And I wake up when the low voltage warning starts sounding off!
So I have been idling the truck when I am parked for my 10 hour break. These trucks really aren’t set up for that and the soot builds up in the ceramic filter. For some reason, instead of just giving a warning that I need to do a standing regen it starts throwing other malfunction codes for the pollution control system.
I have had the thing worked on a couple times and last year they replaced all the batteries in both banks but it still keeps screwing up. So now my plan is to just do a standing regen before I take off after idling during my break. If the system needs it, it will do the regen. If not it will tell me that no regen is needed. A regen usually takes 20 minutes or so.
thanks for taking time to write these tales from the blacktop, RAH
makes for interesting reading, to learn what goes on in a world most of us won’t experience
I pray for you and your truck to be in perfect Health. In Jesus name.
Thanks to both of you. i wrote that before I went to bed this morning. Just woke up for a bathroom break and wrote an email to my boss telling him that the Fleet Per Diem app on the Samsara tab in my truck did not show me on a trip this last time and asking to whom in the Company I address that problem to be sure I get paid the Per Diem due me?
Then I checked here to see if there were any questions or responses. I do not pretend to write for all truck drivers or even the ones that lurk, or write here, but just for myself. Many here instinctively know there is a lot more to truck driving than holding a steering wheel and keeping it between the lines. My goal in writing about it is to write. I enjoy it. And if by doing so I entertain and inform some others, then that is a bonus.
And, thank you, sir. I don’t drive commercially, just worked on repairing cars and trucks for over four decades, seen the changes and dealt with the pitfalls of the industry.
Here at the tree it’s hard to gauge how many know about the many many regulations our fine govt. impose on the trucking industry. I have never seen a trade where the people that move almost every single item or product we buy, or get gifted to us, are so highly vetted.
CDL holders are tested, screened, entered into drug and alcohol clearinghouses, are responsible for knowing all rules and regulations, have to be aware of ongoing changes to those rules, have to be aware of the weights of their loaded rigs, have to be aware of roads they can travel on or not, have to know more than just the basic mechanical functions of the rigs they drive, including electrical and pneumatics systems, have to assess (on the fly) the gradients of steep declines and inclines in relation to their weight and the limitations of their braking systems, and, if this weren’t enough PITA, they have to tolerate [inconsiderate drivers] s that don’t care about their lives and those on the road in close proximity to them, as they zip in and out of lanes, pitting their 2 ton auto against 28 tons or more of rolling potential energy.
Lord help them if they ever cross paths. Even small collision at slower speeds there is paperwork, stoppage time and schedule loss, drug testing, and potential lawsuits.
And then there is the stretches of time away from family and loved ones. I couldn’t do it at my age. No way.
So thank you, Rah, for keeping our nation supplied. May all your roads be clear, give me a horn or a marker lights flash when your rolling down I-95 between Baltimore and DC, I’ll be in the second to right lane, backing off my speed if I see your turn signal light on. God bless you my friend.

Wow, that is Mark O’Conner playing fiddle behind Patty and Dwight. I Know him from the Dixie Dregs.

I love Dwight, an incredible musician.
Just truckin man.
The driver and dash cams are turning out to be a great tool for combating the racket of milking truckers and trucking companies with liability judgments. Insurance payouts at the company I work for have dropped by nearly 40% since they put the cameras in.
People can lie all they want but the cameras tell the story. And in the system we are using a 30 second loop prior to the incident and a 30 second loop afterwards is automatically transmitted so nobody involved at the scene can alter or erase the footage.
There are good cops and bad cops. A couple years ago an Indiana State trooper, a young one, stopped one of our drivers and was going to give him a speeding ticket. The driver said fine go ahead I’ll see you in court with the QualCom records. whish shows and records the speed the truck is going at all times. The cop changed his mind and decided he would give the driver a ticket for following to closely (IOW tail gating). Now this driver was one of those testing the camera system we all have now. He just smiled and pointed out the dash cam because there wasn’t another vehicle within 300 feet in front of him at the time. No ticket was written, not even a warning.
I have got to get a dash cam installed in my ‘hoe !
Although I think there may already be one in the rearview mirror. But I don’t subscribe to Onestar.
Just made myself a PBJ with 15 grain toast and had a glass of chocolate milk to wash it down and now I get some more sack time. I really like that Jiff all natural peanut butter but I can’t keep a jar in the truck because it separates. So in the truck I have to use the regular stuff.
Rah,
You may have already tried this, but I find that—after the initial messy stirring—storing the peanut butter jar upside-down between uses keeps the contents from separating as much. Or at least the oil is out of the way when you open the jar.
Once the contents are well-stirred, keeping the upside-down jar in a cooler or another cold place really slows down the separation.
From a fellow traveler who really enjoys all-natural peanut butter! (e.g. PB and dill pickle sandwiches, PB and banana on toast, PB on crackers or celery or just by the spoonful.)
Oh, thanks, as always, for sharing your OTR adventures. Reading your reports is rather like listening to a friend tell about their day.
God Bless.
Yea! Tried flipping the jar. But separation in the truck with the changes in temp, pressure and the vibration happens pretty quickly. Just one too many details to keep up with for me, so it’s regular peanut butter in the truck and natural at home.
Always hear a lot of good things re: Volvo but mental comfort is not always about the new. I was talking with a large fleet operations manger a few years ago. He divided hid drivers into 3 groups–those who never complained about LDW, ACC, radar, etc. These he viewed as his best drivers cause they drove as he wanted them do; a group who complained a bit, meaning they were getting better in his eyes; those that complained constantly–the ones he wished he could bet rid if.
Nobody is getting rid of drivers right now I suspect, unless they are really really bad. Class A CDL drivers have never been in more demand than now. Companies that used to be the exclusive and that it took a super clean driving record and years of experience to get hired into, like WalMart, have lowered the standards and are hiring.
The 2017 pete i drive makes me long for my 73 KW everyday.

Considering how lilies grow. They emerge anew each year. They mature and attract pollinators, by color & scent, a purpose bigger than themselves, the cycle of life. Senescens quickly begins; dying back totally, herbaceous. They lose their scent, beauty, color, rigidity, finally, everything above ground is lost. Below ground they grow stronger & multiply. What they lose feeds the soil.
A lot to contemplate.
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.

HEARTINESS v. HEARTLESSNESS TOWARDS OTHERS
“It is Christ…who also maketh intercession for us.” “The Spirit…maketh intercession for the saints.” Romans viii. 34, 27
Do we need any more arguments than this to become intercessors – that Christ “ever liveth to make intercession;” that the Holy Spirit “maketh intercession for the saints”? Are we living in such a vital relationship to our fellow men that we do the work of intercession as the Spirit-taught children of God? Begin with the circumstances we are in – our homes, our business, our country, the present crisis as it touches us and others – are these things crushing us? Are they badgering us out of the presence of God and leaving us no time for worship? Then let us call a halt, and get into such living relationship with God that our relationship to others may be maintained on the line of intercession whereby God works His marvels.
Beware of outstripping God by your very longing to do His will. We run ahead of Him in a thousand and one activities, consequently we get so burdened with persons and with difficulties that we do not worship God, we do not intercede. If once the burden and the pressure come upon us and we are not in the worshipping attitude, it will produce not only hardness toward God but despair in our own souls. God continually introduces us to people for whom we have no affinity, and unless we are worshipping God, the most natural thing to do is to treat them heartlessly, to give them a text like the jab of a spear, or leave them with a rapped-out counsel of God and go. A heartless Christian must be a terrible grief to Our Lord.
Are we in the direct line of the intercession of our Lord and of the Holy Spirit?

April 1st Devotional
Scenes Beyond the Grave – Marietta Davis
Chapter XXV – The Betrayal
25:5
Again my attention was directed to a dark and doleful scene. Below me I beheld a heavy cloud, which was agitated as if burdened with the spirit of wrangling elements. Discordant sounds arose from the midst thereof. They were hard to be understood, and at first the cause was hidden from me. But at length I heard, as from the voice of an excited rabble, the enthusiastic inquiry, “Where shall we find him? Hasten, most worthy guide, to the place of his retreat. Time wasteth, and the leaders of the people demand the ‘outlaw.’ He shall perish.” “Yea, he shall perish, and that speedily,” clamored a multitude who were, while moving toward Jesus and his disciples, enveloped in a cloud that overhung their pathway. The contrast between the scenes was so great, that I was terrified, and turning to my guide I inquired, “Who are these that disturb the stillness of this solemn hour? And canst thou inform me whence they are, and whither bound? Of whom do they speak in language so excited, and with a determination so destructive?”
“These,” she said, “are a band of soldiers from the chief priests and elders of the Jews. The object of their revengeful pursuit is Jesus, who, in the agony of his soul, prayed in the garden.”
“What hath he done to excite such envy,” I exclaimed.
“He hath preached the year of the Lord, and announced the mission of God’s only Son to the world. He hath given sight to the blind, restored the deaf to hearing, healed the sick, raised the dead, comforted the mourner, instructed the ignorant, and plead with the despisers of the mercy of God to regard the Creator in heaven and earth as their Sovereign, Rightful Lawgiver, Heavenly Father, and Redeemer.”
“And is this that for which they seek to destroy him?” I inquired. “Hath he never contended with them?”
“Hast thou not read in the Sacred Text that which the prophet spake, when moved by the Holy Ghost, concerning One that should come, ‘Behold my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom I am well pleased. I will put my spirit upon him and he shall show judgment unto the Gentiles. He shall not strive nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.’ This Jesus, who in his humility, bowed in prayer, and whom the populace seek to destroy as a vile outlaw – God manifest in the flesh – is He of whom the prophet spake.”
While the angel yet spake, the exasperated throng, armed with swords and staves, approached Jesus and his disciples; and lo! they were led by one of the company who sat with him at the last supper, even Judas Iscariot, the same who had left his Lord and proposed to deliver up Jesus to the chief priests and elders of the people. As they drew near, I saw above Judas a mighty angel of darkness, from whom issued a pale sulphuric flame that encompassed him and burned in his nerves like living fire. With wild determination Judas advanced and hailed Jesus as his friend and Lord, sealing his mockery and heartless treachery with a kiss. But Jesus appeared fully to comprehend his design, and addressing him said, “Friend, wherefore art thou come?” And to the multitude he said, “Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staves, to take me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold upon me. But if ye seek me, let these who believe in me go their way. For this cause I came into the world.” Then answered one of the multitude, “Tell us for what cause.” “That salvation might be given to the world, and that all, even those who assail me, might, through faith and repentance, enter into rest. Into your hands I submit myself, but these my disciples, no harm shall befall them.” Then said the mockers, “Thou art our prisoner, and we bear thee before the tribunals of the people, and no one helpeth thee; how sayest thou then of these thy disciples, ‘No harm shall befall them?’”
At this the disciples fled, every one his own way, and forsook him, save one who followed his Lord even unto the judgement hall.

Mike Pence is running for President ………………… ? ………………april fool he is…………………..
Mike Pence is responsible for the church closures, the no singing, the occupancy limits, all of it.
Many do not remember when President Trump realized his blunder in signing off on the shutdown/restriction malignant voodoo, and tried to have Attorney General Barr fix it to the degree possible without setting off a court ruling that would make it worse. I remember, and what was remarkable was that VP Pence was curiously absent.
If he had not given his full approval to all the Fauci/Birx/Redfield/Adams nonsense, the churches might have fought against it when they still had a chance of success.
Either he knew what he was doing, or he was too stupid to understand or care.

Dear Packrat, We all do!!!
I’m praying for an innocent animal on this Cursday, and for all the good souls who do the thankless job of animal rescue.
How horrified must they be, to see everything they work so hard against playing out right in front of them?
I’m referring to the situation where someone who appears to be a responsible dog owner on paper (Joe Biden) while in a state of cognitive decline already, is talked into getting a puppy, the proper care of which he can no longer handle.
That scenario we heard, when an elderly man with dementia had some kind of stumble with a dog involved, where the animal was trying to get the man to play with him, is heartbreaking.
Now the neglected animal, who we saw in photo ops to show what great people the Bidens were, has been involved in another biting incident.
People are calling for the dog’s death. Sickening.
I would like to remind everyone that Joe Biden was Barack Obama’s vice president, that Joe had a dog living with him at that time, and when Barack and Michele got a large breed puppy someone made sure to have the dog trained.
Joe is no longer aware of this, but Jill Biden certainly is.
Her husband can not possibly handle the caretaking a young dog needs. It’s “Dr.” Biden’s responsibility to see that Major gets training, and attention, and love.
Incredibly, she still has not bothered to do this, and as I’ve said, she’s well aware that this kind of expert training is available, and she’s certainly able to pay for it.
No one in that family has stepped up to help care for grandpa’s pet. No one.
It’s as if this administration wants to take a slap at everything anyone in America holds dear.

G. Gordon Liddy’s Fighting Ring
He kept his mouth shut about Watergate and went to prison. Then he kept his mouth running for two decades on talk radio.
https://thebulwark.com/g-gordon-liddys-fighting-ring/
by Brian Karem, March 31, 2021 5:30 am
“Liddy and I got along because he could be gracious, and because he afforded me some respect for keeping my mouth shut and going to jail—as he had. “Did you get in any fights?” he asked me. I explained to him I had one dust-up in jail with a guy who thought the jailers were taking it easy on me: “I was told if challenged you had to fight. So I did.” “What happened?” he asked. “I hit the guy with a mop handle and tried to stuff his head in a toilet. After that everything was okay.’
“With that Liddy laughed, called me his brother, and showed me a huge ring he wore on his finger. The story behind it was telling. The ring was silver and gold, but it wasn’t the original. When he first went to jail he got into a fight and got his nose cut, badly, and couldn’t understand why. A cellmate explained Liddy’s opponent had a ‘fighting ring’ that had been fashioned by a trustee in the plumbing shop from steel pipe in the jail. It had all kinds of angles and sharp edges. ‘You could do a lot of damage with one, so I asked how much,’ Liddy explained. He had one made for the cost of two cartons of cigarettes and fought with it for thirteen months before he shipped out to another prison. He couldn’t take it with him, so he gave it to his wife, who at the time taught school in the inner city. ‘She gained a lot of respect. She had kids she taught who knew what a fighting ring was,” he told me.’ ”

The folks at Greek Orthodox Christian Television have announced there will be no new videos added to their YT channel out of principle.
They announced they will eventually transfer all of their videos to other platforms.
That’s GREAT! Thank you Sepp! (Played this one for hubby right after we listened to Fr. Spyridon’s video and he said ‘fits right with that quote from Fr. Seraphim Rose.’ It really does….)

Switch schools?
Learn a trade?

Nothing but liars playing on the ignorance of those that will listen. Really these kind of people are no more than snake oil salesmen on a grand scale.
Claim: Great Barrier Reef Set to Disappear Because of Global Warming – Watts Up With That?
FACT: The first examples of fossils of hard corals appear in rocks formed during the Ordovician period when atmospheric CO2 levels peaked well over 2,000 PPM. The Ordovician and following Silurian periods when CO2 levels were much much higher than now is the time when the greatest explosion of life on earth occurred according to the fossil record.
FACT: Though reefs have been around and evolved in the area for millions upon millions of years ago, the Great Barrier Reef in it’s current place and configuration started forming during the Holocene Optimum between 5,000 and 8,000 years ago when temperatures were higher than they are now!
Addendum to the post above.
Though hard corals did first appear during the Ordovician they were wiped out by the greatest mass extinction event we know of that is commonly known as “the great dying” which cleared the field for the dinosaurs to come into existence. The hard corals we see today are the ancestors of those that appeared during the middle of the Triassic period.
Also several studies claim that atmospheric CO2 levels peaked at about 4,000 PPM during the Ordovician.

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.
