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 †

What The World Needs
By Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
Strange, is it not, that when men are successful, they generally credit themselves liberally for their success but when things go wrong they begin to blame others — even God.
The writer does not have up-to-date information about two particular plots of ground in Moscow, but some years ago one of these was a beautiful garden, the other a patch of weeds. Above each there was a sign. Over the one: “This plot is cared for by the United Soviet Socialist Republic,” over the other: “This plot is cared for by God”!
Evidently the atheistic Soviets who hatched this “bright idea” did not stop to think that only God could produce the beautiful flowers in the USSR plot. All their watering and cultivating would have been in vain except for the God they deny.
As to the other plot, they probably did not even know that even in Eden God put the garden in man’s charge “to dress it and to keep it” (Gen. 2:15), and later, when man sinned, God said to Adam, “Cursed is the ground for thy sake” (Gen. 3:17). This is why the Soviets must employ a gardener to control the weeds in even their garden! How wrong and foolish, then, for man ever to blame God for anything that goes wrong for him or causes him trouble!
Actually, when I have been asked: “If God is a God of love, why does He allow all this trouble and misery, and all this wickedness?” I have replied: “That’s easy. When God sent His Son into this world offering peace and righteousness and prosperity they cried: ‘Away with Him’ and nailed Him to a cross. If the Bible is true, and in this case it has surely proved to be true, how can this world expect peace while they still reject the Prince of Peace?”

Genesis 2:15 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Genesis 3:17 ¶ And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
On this day ~
June 4, 1820
✝️ Sitting in the choir loft as the pastor preached, Elvina’s mind turned to our need for salvation and the price Jesus paid for it. Words began to form themselves. She had to get them down before she forgot them, but she had no paper! Scribbling on the flyleaf of her hymnbook, she wrote: “Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.”
After the service, she handed the words to her pastor. What his reaction was is not recorded. But we do know that an extraordinary ‘coincidence’ took place that day at the Monument Street Methodist Church of Baltimore. The organist, John Grape, had recently written a new tune and also gave it to the pastor. The pastor saw that the tune and Elvina’s poem fit together extremely well. So he united them. In that way, “Jesus Paid It All,” one of the most beloved hymns of the church, came into being. Elvina Hall was 45 at that time.
Born on this day, June 4, 1820, she went Home to be with her Savior in 1899.
My mom had suffered a stroke and was in the hospital. She was barely able to speak, so she wrote the words to the chorus of this hymn on the back of a tissue box, handed it to my dad, then died of a a massive stroke. It was the last thing she communicated to anyone. I love this hymn.
Incredible legacy your mom left. Gift of life to her family. And onlookers, me included.
Happy Caterday, Treepers!
My wife has always been the leader in the arrival-of-animals- in-need- of-rescue-at=out=house. She was always really good at it while, alas, I was always a bit obtuse. Finally I figured out that she was going to be In Change and everything settled down.
Now you have to understand . . . my wife is an oil-patch kid. Although she was quite well educated, a successful scholar and academic, she also grew up rough and tumble. And sometimes, like my own, her working class sensibilities surfaced. . . I’ve always bragged that she’s the kind of person you want to call at 2:AM on a February morning when you’re broke down in a bar-ditch. Her first comment (I’m not kidding about this)would be, where are you? Her second would be, I’ll be there directly. And she always was. With a tow-strap. And the knowledge of how to tow you home.
We were talking about that at dinner with friends last night, in fact. And, bless her heart. I loved her all the more for that for all for that all these years. But, then, she is a Texas girl and that’s what Texas girls do..
But it was her unerring sense to duty to rescue kitties that brought tiny little Pinta to us. She was found on a busy freeway. Her little sister had been killed and she was loyally refusing to leave her. When she came to us she was tiny little thing weighing all of 5 or 6 pounds. To be so young she’d lived a pretty rough life. He tail had been broken and had healed at a right angle. W named her Pinta which, given her small size, seemed perfect. Happily, she bonded with us and became our kitty. She lived with us for a very long time.
When she was very old and although completely deaf and almost blind, she liked to sleep on my chest at night. I can still remember her content little purrs and snuggles as she settled in for the night, knowing that she was safe with us. When she died quietly at home she was, we guessed, about 20 years old.
When you are retired everyday seems like Saturday . . . 🙂
What’s an “oil patch kid?”
The oil patch was an area where functioning wells were drilled and serviced. Oil companies sometimes had residential areas attached, sometimes just single houses to house on-site employees. My wife’s father works for an oil company as a field supervisor and, as a child, her family lived in a company owned house near the “oil-patch”. In Texas people who make a living in the oil producing industry often refer to themselves as “being from the oil-patch”. It’s a point of pride.
RIP, John. We won’t forget . . .

NATIONAL DOUGHNUT (DONUT) DAY
Each year on the first Friday in June, people participate in National Doughnut or Donut Day, celebrating the doughnut and honoring the Salvation Army Lassies. The Salvation Army Lassies are the women who served doughnuts to soldiers during WWI.
In 1917, the original “Salvation Army Doughnut” was first served by the ladies of the Salvation Army. It was during WWI that the Salvation Army Lassies went to the front lines of Europe. Home-cooked foods, provided by these brave volunteers, were a morale boost to the troops.
The doughnuts were often cooked in oil inside the metal helmets of American soldiers. American infantrymen were then commonly called “doughboys.” A more standard spelling of the word is “donut.”
Doughnuts = My Downfall

THE NEVER-FAILING GOD
“For He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Heb. xii. 5
What line does my thought take? Does it turn to what God says or to what I fear? Am I learning to say not what God says, but to say something after I have heard what He says? “He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”
“I will in no wise fail thee” – not for all my sin and selfishness and stubbornness and waywardness. Have I really let God say to me that He will never fail me? If I have listened to this say-so of God’s, then let me listen again.
“Neither will I in any wise forsake thee.” Sometimes it is not difficulty that makes me think God will forsake me, but drudgery. There is no Hill Difficulty to climb, no vision given, nothing wonderful or beautiful, just the commonplace day in and day out – can I hear God’s say-so in these things?
We have the idea that God is going to do some exceptional thing, that He is preparing and fitting us for some extraordinary thing by and bye, but as we go on in grace we find that God is glorifying Himself here and now, in the present minute. If we have God’s say-so behind us, the most amazing strength comes, and we learn to sing in the ordinary days and ways.

I sense that the SOTU speech that Trump gave February 4, 2020, where Pelosi ripped up her pre-torn speech text was a significant date that coincides with this email timing. I think Nancy turned the dogs loose on that signal.

Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter is not model material and only has this “job” because Harris is VP, and Vogue is pandering for political favor. The “mullet” hairstyle is not really attractive and this girl won’t sell it.
Hard to believe the fashion world ignored the stylish and beautiful Melania Trump for four years, as well as Trump’s lovely and stylish daughters. What a missed opportunity for the fashion world.

I feel like in the past, the mullet was deemed unattractive and kind of odd, and I’m really drawn to that almost ugly-chic look,’ she told the magazine.
Okay, then.
I lnow! Why pick ugly? There are wizards at make up and hair in the fashion world but I guess they decided to embrace her inclination.”The :mullet” is also a lesbian hair do for some out here in California. I was told this by a co worker and don’t know if this is true.
Yes, the sexually messed up signal it with their hair, ever changing, usually ugly.

BE MY VOICE
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.

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.

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.

In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
