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 †

This is interesting. A study out of Stanford concludes that masks are useless for preventing covid transmission.

From the Stanford study: “The data suggest that both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease such SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19,”

i sent your links to the Pocatello city council and got this reply.
I find this more than ironic in that as of a few minutes ago the Stanford Health Care Center has the following on its website.
Wearing a mask is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). At Stanford Health Care, our highest priority is the health of our patients and staff. To this end, everyone is required to wear a mask while visiting our facilities.
It leads me to conclude that either the study you name is not a study that Stanford itself holds highly, or that someone has selected certain parts of the study to use and others to avoid.
Sincerely,
Roger Bray
guess we can’t get there from here. Pocatello wants folks to keep wearing masks

Is Christ Your King?
By Pastor Ricky Kurth
Most Christians would answer this question with a resounding yes, but most grace believers would respond with an emphatic no. They know that the people of Israel lived in a kingdom (I Sam. 24:20), and they know that the Lord was born “King of the Jews” (Mt. 2:2) and will one day rule over them in the kingdom of heaven on earth. They rightly reason that a kingdom is ruled by a king, but that believers today are members of “the Body of Christ” (I Cor. 12:27), and a body is ruled by a head. Since Christ is our Head (Eph. 4:15), it is easy to see why some say He is not our King.
But the same apostle who tells us we are members of Christ’s Body also tells us that “the Father…hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son” (Col. 1:12,13). Paul is speaking here of God’s overall kingdom of the saved of all ages, but any kingdom, by definition, is governed by a king.
There are, of course, some dispensational differences. A kingdom has to be governed by law, so God gave Israel a law, a law that said that if your neighbor is hungry you should feed him (Deut. 15:8). But bodies aren’t governed by a law, they are governed by love. When your stomach is hungry, your head doesn’t need a law to tell you to feed it. You feed it because “no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it” (Eph. 5:29). In a kingdom, you have to have laws that say things like “thou shalt not kill,” and “thou shalt not steal,” so God gave the kingdom of Israel a law that said things like that. But our apostle says that laws like “thou shalt not kill” and “thou shalt not steal” are “briefly comprehended in this…Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself…” (Rom. 13:9,10). So after telling the Galatians that we are not under the law but under grace, Paul told them, “by love serve one another” (Gal. 5:13). Under grace, we don’t kill or steal from one another because we love one another! But what would happen in the kingdom of Chicago if the mayor announced that he was suspending all laws, and from now on everyone should just love one another? It wouldn’t take long for people to realize that love works well when it comes to governing a body, but a kingdom needs laws!
But despite these dispensational differences, Christ is still the king of the overall kingdom of which we are a part. Someday He will “sit upon the throne of His glory” in the kingdom of heaven on earth (Mt. 25:31). In the meantime, does He sit on the throne of your heart? Why not choose to give “the King” the “honour and glory” He deserves (I Tim. 1:17) by choosing to obey Him.

1 Samuel 24:20 And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand.
Matthew 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
1 Corinthians 12:27 ¶ Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Colossians 1:12 ¶ Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Deuteronomy 15:8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
Ephesians 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Romans 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Galatians 5:13 ¶ For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Matthew 25:31 ¶ When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Corinthians 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

After a comparatively brief training period in the Rothschild‘s London Bank; Jacob Schiff left for America with instructions to buy into a banking house which was to be the springboard to acquire control of the money system of the United States.
Actually; Jacob (Schiff) came here to carry out four specific assignments.
1. The most important, was to acquire control of America’s money system.
2. Find desirable men, who for a price, would be willing to serve as stooges for the great conspiracy and promote them into high places in our federal government, our Congress, and the U.S. Supreme Court, and all federal agencies.
3. Create minority group strife throughout the nations; particularly between the whites and blacks.
4. Create a movement to destroy religion in the United States; but Christianity to be the chief target.

CAN A SAINT SLANDER GOD?
“For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen.” 2 Cor. i. 20
Jesus told the parable of the talents recorded in Matthew xxv. as a warning that it is possible for us to misjudge our capacity. This parable has not to do with natural gifts, but with the Pentecostal gift of the Holy Ghost. We must not measure our spiritual capacity by education or by intellect; our capacity in spiritual things is measured by the promises of God. If we get less than God wants us to have, before long we will slander Him as the servant slandered his master: “You expect more than You give me power to do; You demand too much of me, I cannot stand true to You where I am placed.” When it is a question of God’s Almighty Spirit, never say “I can’t.” Never let the limitation of natural ability come in. If we have received the Holy Spirit, God expects the work of the Holy Spirit to be manifested in us.
The servant justified himself in everything he did and condemned his lord on every point – “Your demand is out of all proportion to what you give.” Have we been slandering God by daring to worry when He has said: “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you”? Worrying means exactly what this servant implied – “I know You mean to leave me in the lurch.” The person who is lazy naturally is always captious – “I haven’t had a decent chance,” and the one who is lazy spiritually is captious with God. Lazy people always strike out on an independent line.
Never forget that our capacity in spiritual matters is measured by the promises of God. Is God able to fulfil His promises? Our answer depends on whether we have received the Holy Spirit.
Oswald Chambers
April 20th Devotional
Picture of religion!
All done by our power when God says “my power.”
YOU must die and that precious ego says “no way.”
Heavenly minded was Jesus. “Beat me, kick me, starve me, you are not my provider.”
Every promise is for us not the “sweet by and by”. Is it hard?
Yes, it is impossible. Can you achieve? Yes, you must for humanity to rise from hell.
It’s as thankless a job as you’ll get and the king of this fallen world will make it so, but we are just visiting. Our home is with our Lord, the very instant we say “yes lord, I am
yours”. Yes if your saved, you reside with the Holy Spirit.
In my opinion, too much attention is for ‘the devils contracts’. He writes your ticket for your service.
Our Lords contract is the one you better understand. When he says “I hold you in my hand” those are not idle words. You either step up or you become “salt to be trodden on.” Ouch!
He doesn’t listen to your crying and whining or care about your opinions if they are not of him, all business no lies or fluff. He is a hard righteous master, full of grace.
It’s his way only, and he owns it all, even your thoughts and feelings.
Might want to examine those, hmmmm.
We see miles ahead How democrats are all “feelings”, we are too, look at them, if you dare, it’s
Who you are. Thing is, we gun toting Bible thumpers put those thoughts and feelings in line with Gods word, or….we pay a very heavy price.
UnGodly? Well psalms 1:6 says “for the lord knows the way of the Righteous (righteousness is his scepter for his kingdom, passage to his kingdom ways) but the ungodly shall
perish.
Scenes Beyond the Grave – Marietta Davis
Chapter XXXIV – The Tomb
34:2
Then in a loud acclaim, another company of angels chanted, “It shall arise again. It shall ascend to the highest heaven. It shall be the attractive centre around which saints shall gather. It shall attract unto itself, in the realms of immortality, the sanctified dust, the renovated bodies of the saints.”
“Let it rest,” continued the band of quiet singers. “Be still, ye winds that howl around the walls of Jerusalem, be ye still. As ye pass this way, fold your hurried wings, and glide gently by. Jesus, the manifestation of divine good, hath no more sorrow. His body slumbereth here. Touch it not, ye cold and impure winds of earth. Let heaven fan it with the softest zephyrs. Let the most sacred harmony in divine breathings linger around this consecrated tomb.”
Again, chanted the choir above, “Let the heavens resume their lyres, and strike their highest notes of lofty anthems. Jesus shall awake and ascend in clouds of glory. Universes shall join the song of his ascension. Echo, ye everlasting hills, echo ye his name in triumphant song.”
Then the former band continued, “Soft and gentle as the breath of new-born love in the serene heavens, let us sing, ‘Here slumbereth the body of the Lord.’ We will speak his name in softest tones. Jesus, thou external manifestation of our Lord, sleep on. Rest, thou mangled form. Rest in the sacred tomb. We will linger near while the tomb retaineth this precious treasure.”
“Fold your arms, and poise in the holy atmosphere, all ye commissioned; let not a voice be heard while the body rests,” said Mercy to the holy ones attending. And they poised in spiral circles around the tomb. Never can language reveal that scene, or in any wise express the sacred peace that pervaded the spirits before whom it was transpiring.
It was joy beyond measure to see the body of Jesus rest. It was sacred quiet. It was fulness of harmony to listen to the soft anthems of the angel band that watched the tomb. Surely it may be said that Jesus sanctified the grave. I can never reflect upon that scene without a desire that my poor body should rest there also. I wish to lay it down in the tomb. The grave no longer wears a gloom. To me it is the most sacred place of all on earth. There Jesus my Redeemer slumbered. There his body rested. There it was free from pain. Only let me be worthy, and cheerfully, at the time appointed, will I step into the grave, and lay my body down to rest, where, in peace, it shall await the morning of the resurrection.
To be continued…
Dora, thanks for posting this verse.
Very Powerful.
Good morning all. Another run completed.
A domicile driver in Ft. Wayne who has a milk run took a vacation day Monday and I covered it. To be sure of getting back home I had to leave out on Sunday and take a 10 hour break, where as the domicile driver could leave out Monday early in the morning and get back on Monday afternoon.
So on Sunday at 10:00 I went to the terminal and put got the truck. I drove it to my home on “Personal Conveyance” so as to not start my duty clock. When I got it home I stripped all the beddeing out of it and Sherry washed and dried it. Then before I left I remade my bed. I keep a body pillow and two king size and one regular size pillows in the truck. Trucks don’t have levelers like a camper does and every great once in a while I have to park in a very unlevel place. I can use the pillows to compensate for that and get a good sleep:3041
Bed made, I departed the house at 14:30 and bobtailed the 88 miles up to the Total Fleet drop yard in Ft. Wayne, IN where the trailer I was to hook was parked. The paperwork for the load was in the back of the trailer. The trailer had dunnage in it.
I then drove west on US 30 to catch US 31 North and drove a total of about 88 miles to a truck stop that was within 20 miles of the first stop on the milk run.
Stops in order completed were in:
New Troy, MI
Stevensville, MI
Holland, MI
Muskegon, MI
And then return to Total Fleet in Ft. Wayne, IN and finally bobtail back to the terminal in Anderson, IN.
This run is for Toyota and Toyota demands a lot of paperwork. The driver has check sheets for the freight being picked up. These sheets have all kinds of numbers. Order number, supplier code, Toyota Dock number, Destination code, Kaban number, part number, etc.
On each form the driver must write: Trailer number, signature, printed name, and date. Then must confirm the pallet and piece count as per a label placed on each pallet by the supplier.
Since Covid some suppliers won’t let you on their dock to check the freight and when they don’t I just note it on the top page of the stack of forms for that suppliers parts.
This time there were a total of about 50 forms. There have been some runs where I had 200! So what I did was sit down and fill in all the stuff I could on the forms the night before before I went to bed parked at the truck stop.
Though I ran through some rain on the run I was thankful that I did it before the snow came in. Running up and down the west coast of Michigan is not desirable when there is snow in the forecast. Places Like Holland can get some pretty nasty lake effect coming off Lake Michigan.
When I got back to Total Fleet in Ft. Wayne with a trailer now loaded with racks, totes, and bins full of Toyota parts I parked the trailer where I found it and put the plastic folder with the paperwork in the back.
A driver from the company terminal in Vandalia, OH will bring a new trailer full of empty racks and pick up the one I dropped and take it back to that terminal and put it a door.
I bobtailed home and walked in to door at about 18:00 yesterday. By 20:00 I had eaten dinner and was in bed.
Rah. It is so nice to read your posts. Never a dull moment.
200 forms? That is crazy!!
Keep on truckin sir. If you feel the eyes getting heavy error on the side of caution. I found it immensely easy to drift off to sleep with the nice gentle sound of the engine and moving of the truck.
Have a terrific day.

Every time I do a Toyota run I remember my professor from a “Modern Telecommunications” class I took at IU back in 1976. The prof was great and so was the course. Much of what he predicted would happen with computers, communications, electronic data and devices, and media, has come to pass, but man did he get one thing wrong. He said by this time we would live in a virtually paperless work environment. LOL!

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.
Just got the call. Either going to Paragould, AR or doing another Chicago milk run. they’re not sure yet. Catch ya all on the fhe flip side.

Salomon Verveer, City Scene
From Ol’ Remus (archives):
“Every seasoned engineer adores simplicity. Where there is no failure mode, there is no failure. Complexity is, in itself, even while just sitting there being agreeable, an enemy in waiting.
“Simplicity and versatility are nearly the same thing. Consider the knife, for instance. Consider cordage. Simple and versatile. As Heinlein said, specialization is for insects. When something is made complex, tradeoffs must be made, which forecloses or reduces options. Follow this far enough and the item becomes so specialized it’s useless for anything other than one narrow purpose.
“Simplicity improves nearly anything. A spear, perhaps cut from a straight sapling, sharpened and fire hardened, appears to be a single-use tool, but it’s also a walking stick, a test probe for iffy ground, a cudgel, an aid in crossing fast-running water and more. The GPS system may go down, or your receiver may, but a compass is always reliable. Simple recipes using few ingredients, the best use of your resources and storage space, can be used as-is or altered with additives of opportunity.
“Your battle rifle deserves the simplicity treatment. It can be optimized for only one thing and that thing should be gunfights at medium range. Fit it with a low power, wide field scope that can survive the jackhammer test, backed up by iron sights you’ve zeroed-in and practiced using. Put together a rifle for precision work at long range if you must, don’t compromise your battle rifle, it should be simple, absolutely reliable, and never need batteries.
“In ‘ordinary’ times, the mail and not much imagination is a simple, secure enough option for sensitive communication. A greeting card with a personal note, say. In times of chaos, an AM-FM radio, a scanner and a short wave receiver are good for gathering valuable information. For local two-way communication in a catastrophic collapse, ordinary citizen’s band or FRS/GMRS radios suffice. Exotic stuff gets exotic attention. Consult your neighborhood radio enthusiast for details. But beware, radio transmissions are an irretrievable breach of security, however you do it.
“Simplicity counts most for the man on the move in sketchy times. Your flashlight should be simple, rugged and small. Retina-blasting high lumens are seldom necessary, “moonlight” mode is most useful in deep survival. Fixed power, compact binoculars do what binoculars are meant to do, add-on features are for clubhouse cachet. The fishing gear in your pack should be simple and basic—assume you can cut a fishing pole if needed—with quadruple backed up everything. Braided line ages better than monofilament, and small hooks can catch big fish but big hooks can’t catch small fish. Think it through.
“Simple means less maintenance. Your stuff should give more service than it gets. Simple is more versatile, a tarp versus a tent for instance. And simple means fewer things to go wrong.”
Missing Ol’ Remus! Such a wise man!
