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 †

That’s a pretty kitty cat
Ain’t it though? My favorite breed. Hope to have one someday.
Time to relax.
I remember seeing her in a lot of westerns and B movies. She was always serious and sultry. Her singing was a very unique and extremely intimate vocal style.
I think Cry Me A River got her some awards. IMHO that’s her signature song.
She always seemed to be a perfect choice for 2AM disc-jockeys. I think Linda Ronstadt paid lots of attention to Julie London when she was doing her work with Nelson Riddle.
NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DAY
Baking up some goodness on June 12th each year, National Peanut Butter Cookie Day celebrates the only cookie holiday in June. The day allows cookie lovers and peanut butter lovers to step away from the pies and cakes to indulge in a little peanut butter and cookie therapy.
Alabama’s American agricultural extension educator, George Washington Carver, promoted the peanut extensively. Well-known for his promotions, Carver compiled 105 peanut recipes from various cookbooks, agricultural bulletins, and other sources. In 1916, he created a Research Bulletin called How to Grow the Peanut and 105 Ways of Preparing it for Human Consumption. The bulletin included three recipes calling for crushed or chopped peanuts as one of its ingredients. However, peanut butter cookies were not one of them.
“Holy” God — “Holy Bible”
By Pastor Kevin Sadler
When we say that God is holy, what does that mean to you? Pure, yes. But the definition of holiness is not exhausted by purity. When the angels around the throne of God constantly say, “Holy, Holy, Holy” (Isa. 6:3; Rev. 4:8), they aren’t just saying “Purity, Purity, Purity,” but more than that. The word “holy” means to be set apart. When the Scriptures declare that God is holy (Psa. 99:9), it means that He is not like any other. There is no one like Him. He is matchless and incomparable. No one is His equal. He is unique in Himself and His Person, unsurpassed in beauty, worth, and perfection. He is set apart unto Himself. As it’s been said, “God is always the greatest thing in existence.”
When the Bible refers to “the holy Scriptures” (2 Tim. 3:15), “holy” means much the same thing. The Bible is not like any other thing. There is no other book like it. It has no equal. It is incomparable, unsurpassed in its beauty, worth, and perfection. The Bible is set apart from all other books. It is the Word of God.

Isaiah 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Revelation 4:8 ¶ And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
2Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
1Thessalonians 2:13 ¶ For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
NATIONAL JERKY DAY
National Jerky Day on June 12th each year celebrates the rich history, immense popularity, and nutritional benefits of dried meat snacks.
This nutrient-dense meat is made lightweight by drying. A pound of meat or poultry will weigh only about four ounces after transforming it into jerky. Properly prepared jerky can be stored for months without refrigeration because the drying process removes most of the moisture. Salt added to the meat before the drying process begins helps to prevent bacteria from developing.
The word “jerky” is derived from the Spanish word charqui, which came from the Quechua (a Native South American language) word ch’arki, which means to burn (meat). ?format=750w
NATIONAL RED ROSE DAY
Each year on June 12th, people in the United States recognize National Red Rose Day. Today honors the flower that is a symbol of love and romance, the red rose. The rose is also the June birth flower.
Red roses were used in many early cultures as decorations in wedding ceremonies and wedding attire. It was through this practice that, over the years, the red rose became known as a symbol of love and romance. The tradition of giving red roses as the strongest message of love is still practiced today.
Red roses offer more than the message of love. They are also known for their fragrance and are cultivated for perfumes as well as brewing healing teas. Furthermore, roses come in a wide variety of cultivars. From low-growing shrubs with dainty blossoms to long-stemmed robust plants, roses offer deep scarlets and bright berry-colored reds.

✝️ David Abeel came into the world in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He attended the Reform church seminary in his home town and became deeply convicted about a failing in missions. Although the Gospel had reached the Orient many times during the centuries since Christ’s resurrection, it never took a deep hold there. After long reflection, he concluded that he knew why: “…more than half of the women of the world were held in Oriental seclusion. They were unwelcome at birth, involuntarily married in childhood to men they had never seen, and shut away from all possible teaching except that of their husbands or other women.” He urged that women from the West step forward to become missionaries to women in the East.
In 1829, he sailed to Canton, China, as chaplain of the Seaman’s Friend Society. By 1833, however, his health had grown so bad that he had to return to the United States. On the way home, David visited Europe, and wherever he stopped, he reminded Christians of their obligation to spread the Gospel to foreign lands. In England he helped form the Society for Promoting Female Education in the East. Back in the United States, he continued his push to meet the needs of oriental women. One woman who heard the call was Sarah Doremus, who threw herself into the effort so whole-heartedly that she became known as “The Mother of American Missions.”
David Abeel is not a name remembered by many today, yet his concern to establish a lasting church in China inspired some notable women and sparked the creation of women’s mission groups. His clear insight had a lasting impact on the way mission work was done in the East.

In something truly biblical, Packard was swallowed whole by a humpback whale.
“All of a sudden, I felt this huge shove and the next thing I knew it was completely black,” Packard recalled Friday afternoon following his release from Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis. “I could sense I was moving, and I could feel the whale squeezing with the muscles in his mouth.”
GETTING THERE
Where the self-interest sleeps and the real interest awakens. “Master, where dwellest Thou?…Come and see.” “Come with Me.” John i. 39
“They abode with Him that day.” That is about all some of us ever do, then we wake up to actualities, self-interest arises and the abiding is passed. There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus.
“Thou are Simon, thou shalt be called Cephas.” God writes the new name on those places only in our lives where He has erased the pride and self-sufficiency and self-interest. Some of us have the new name in spot only, like spiritual measles. In sections we look all right. When we have our best spiritual mood on, you would think we were very high-toned saints; but don’t look at us when we are not in that mood. The disciple is one who has the new name written all over him; self-interest and pride and self-sufficiency have been completely erased.
Pride is the deification of self, and this today in some of us is not of the order of the Pharisee, but of the publican. To say “Oh, I’m no saint,” is acceptable to human pride, but it is unconscious blasphemy against God. It literally means that you defy God to make you a saint, “I am much too weak and hopeless, I am outside the reach of the Atonement.” Humility before men may be unconscious blasphemy before God. Why are you not a saint? It is either that you do not want to be a saint, or that you do not believe God can make you one. It would be all right, you say, if God saved you and took you straight to heaven. That is just what He will do! “We will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” Make no conditions, let Jesus be everything, and He will take you home with Him not only for a day, but for ever.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
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.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Good morning all.
Yesterday mowed the lawn and then went to the races for the first time since COVID . It is Indiana Midget Week and last night they raced at Gas City. So it was USAC Sprints and Midgets with a lot of Midget races.
My neighbor Steve had gone down early and had great seats staked out for us. I had to mow my lawn and do some other stuff but I got there before the program started. These races are not a place for the COVID paranoid or any Karens to be. Also not a place for any hardcore leftist with a prerace prayer and everyone standing for the National Anthem. The place was at about 80% capacity so social distancing was impossible even if someone wanted to and not a mask was seen.
Great racing. No major accidents. The track was fast. In the feature for the Midgets a kid from California was just awesome. Think he could have lapped the whole field if the race had been long enough. He was at least a second faster per lap than the 2nd place field. Only 3 points separates that driver and another so at the final race of the Indiana Midget Week tonight at Kokomo it’s going to be quite a shoot out.
I won’t be a Kokomo. Today I go to a funeral for an uncle and then tonight we go to the airport in Indy to pickup my Daughter and Granddaughter that are coming to visit from Florida.
Sunday afternoon I depart for Marion, IL. I will be down there all week doing that same run milk run I did last week. My daughter will be gone when I get back but my Granddaughter will be staying with us for the rest of the summer if she wants. Then the kids will come up to get her and stay with us for a week long visit.
Life is great! I have so much to be thankful for.
Family: Both sides are close but the Greens on my mothers side are very close. Mom has passed and now with the passing of Don there are only two of her 6 siblings still on this earth. It is with a mixed feelings of loss. happy memories, and regret that I have seen each one go. They all had a part in making me who I am. They were all born in Elwood, IN as was I. But there was not a racist bone among them.
They are and were all great people. Honest, hard working people, that built things. Uncle Don was the supervisor of construction of the sanctuary in the Church in which his ashes laid today. He had held every position in the church at parishioner could hold. He was a Man who always greeted you with a smile and kind word. Uncle Jack was there in a wheel chair with nasal canula. He and Don were both scout leaders but I would only have contact with them in that capacity when there was a Jamboree. Earths humanity is poorer with the passing of each of those people I had the luck, and privilege to grow up under. But it was great to see some of my cousins that now live distant places.
Been watching Indiana midget week on Flo Racing, great racing. Hard to believe how many of the drivers can’t drive on the street because they’re too young. 🙂

Today is the 5th anniversary of the horrific terrorist attack on Pulse Nightlcub in Orlando. I say a special prayer today for the families of the 49 souls taken that day and the survivors & first responders who live with the pain of that night every day. As someone who grew up in nightclubs, when I woke up that Sunday morning to the news on the TV all it said was downtown nightclub, my heart sank. At the time I did not know anyone who had been killed but later I would come to know a great guy whose brother was one if the first shot. The pain as he told me the story was excruciating. It took the family too long to find out if their son & brother had survived sadly he did not but died a hero pushing his girlfriend out of the club and saving her life as his was taken.
Good Morning America, 🙂

Saturday is always a GOOD DAY to relax and listen to some feel-good music. Don’t know about others but it was real rainy here in MD all day yesterday and into last night. Brought to mind a very famous tune from back in the early 70s…
A Rainy Night in Georgia
Here are two versions of it and a link to some interesting background around the tune, its composer, and the many artists who performed it
Tony Joe White (music & lyrics composer, 1967)
Brook Benton’s original & most popular cover (1970):

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.
