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 †

12 minutes and 59 seconds of musical perfection. Ahem. They make this look so easy . . . But, trust me, it ain’t easy. What we’re seeing and hearing is real virtuosity. And note that that they’re not playing from published notes, they’re doing the entire performance from memory! They are really, really good! Dammit. Enjoy . . . 🙂
Oh my. I am sending this link to several friends & family who are musicians and always open to hearing virtuoso performances. This is unusually good, the near-perfect synchronous tempo rubato “timing” despite being played as a duet. THAT takes skill …and a lot of practice…
Thanks for posting this selection, Garrison.
I hate them, GB. I really, really hate them . . . 🙂
Yah, sure. ?.

The Unpardonable Sin
By Pastor Ricky Kurth
“…All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men… neither in this world, neither in the world to come” (Matthew 12:31,32).
As a pastor, I often hear from people who are afraid they’ve committed the unpardonable sin. They cite these verses, and then proceed to tell me what they said or did that has caused them to believe they blasphemed the Spirit.
When this happens, I remind these dear troubled souls that before he was saved the Apostle Paul was “a blasphemer” (I Tim. 1:13), and it was unquestionably the Spirit whom he blasphemed. As a Jew who followed the Law of Moses scrupulously (Phil. 3:6), he would not have blasphemed God the Father, and there is no concrete evidence that he ever even met God the Son. It wasn’t until the twelve were “filled with the Holy Ghost” (Acts 2:4) that Saul showed up and led the blasphemous persecution against them (Acts 7:57—8:3).
So when the Lord said that those who blasphemed the Spirit couldn’t be forgiven “neither in this world, neither in the world to come,” we have to conclude that with the saving of Saul, God introduced a whole new world. A world called “the dispensation of the grace of God” (Eph. 3:2). A world in which grace reigns:
“That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” (Rom. 5:21).
How thoroughly does grace reign? Notice Paul says grace reigns unto life as sin reigned unto death. And sin reigned unto death with absolute sway over men. The prophet declared, “The soul that sinneth, it shall die” (Ezek. 18:4), and there have never been any exceptions! So when Paul says “that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign” to eternal life, you have to conclude that “whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:13), with no exceptions. This is because whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord is “made the righteousness of God in Him” (II Cor. 5:21), allowing grace to reign “through righteousness unto eternal life” (Rom. 5:21).
So if you are among the many who have agonized over the Lord’s words in Matthew 12:31,32, agonize no more. No matter who you are, no matter what you’ve said or done, you cannot commit a sin that God’s grace cannot forgive. You have His Word on it.

Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
1 Timothy 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
Philippians 3:6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 7:57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
58 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man’s feet, whose name was Saul.
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Acts chapter 8
1 ¶ And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
“When this happens, I remind these dear troubled souls that before he was saved the Apostle Paul was “a blasphemer” (I Tim. 1:13), and it was unquestionably the Spirit whom he blasphemed. As a Jew who followed the Law of Moses scrupulously (Phil. 3:6), he would not have blasphemed God the Father, and there is no concrete evidence that he ever even met God the Son. It wasn’t until the twelve were “filled with the Holy Ghost” (Acts 2:4) that Saul showed up and led the blasphemous persecution against them (Acts 7:57—8:3).”
As far as the notion that Paul potentially did not meet Jesus, how would that have ruled out that he or any other convert who had been in opposition to Christianity — and thus would not have considered Jesus the Messiah or the Son of God — would have considered in retrospect that they had transgressed before in thought or word, whether or not they had actually met Christ?
Further context from Paul:
1 Timothy 1:12-16 —“I have thankfulness for the One having strengthened me, Christ Jesus our Lord, that He esteemed me faithful, having appointed me to service, being formerly a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolent; but I was shown mercy, because I did it in unbelief, being ignorant.”
From Luke 12:10 — “And everyone who will speak a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him…”. The parallel verses to Luke 12:10 — Matthew 12:31-32, Mark 3:28-29 — contain relevant context preceding Christ’s declaration, including references contrasting all / every sin and blasphemy to blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Surrounding verses evidently give additional context: “And the Pharisees having heard, said, “This man casts out the demons only by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons” (Matthew 3:24, cf. Mark 3:22). Also, Mark 3:30 noted: “For they were saying, “He has an unclean spirit.””
Mark 3:29 adds a sobering specification: “But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.”
Here was the setting of Stephen’s words before the Council: “Then they suborned men, saying, “We have heard him speaking blasphemous words against Moses and God.” And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes; and having come upon him, they seized him and brought him to the Council. And they set false witnesses, saying, “This man does not stop speaking words against this holy place and the Law. For we have heard him saying that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and will change the customs that Moses delivered to us”” (Acts 6:11-14).
Despite the charges, it would seem difficult to definitively state that what was said constituted a clear and exact parallel to what was leveled against Jesus and against the working of the Holy Spirit as listed above. This also appears to be the case as far as what was directly recorded in Acts 7:51-Acts 8:1. That evidently describes an enraged mob stoning Stephen to death after he rebuked the assembly, but does not contain any record of what was said or asserted by them other than the physical acts. Notably, Stephen, “being full of the Holy Spirit” (cf. Acts 7:55), said the following concerning their sin: “And having fallen on his knees, he cried in a loud voice, “Lord, do not place this sin to them.” And having said this, he fell asleep” (Acts 7:60).
In the absence of absolute, definitive proof that what is described as “eternal sin” versus all other sin and blasphemies committed however many times (cf. Mark 3:28), how can anyone dare to make such definitive statements as to the precise nature of the sin that Paul and unnamed others at the stoning of Stephen committed? For that matter, how would something described as “eternal sin“ by Jesus in so strong and stark of a description be anything but exactly that, no matter how many dispensational splits one chooses to apply to Scripture when making a doctoral assertion — one that I would not be surprised if those here familiar with Christian teaching have never seen it promoted outside of here?
And lest any think to equate “eternal sin” to what Stephen observed about some of those present who “always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye” (cf. Acts 7:51), further context is available. What it says in the passage evidently has to do with resisting the Holy Spirit, which while sinful did not come with the same description in the Gospel accounts as the “eternal sin” (Mark 3:30) of blaspheming the Holy Spirit as listed above. Stephen’s words seem to comport with the following:
Isaiah 63:10-11a
“But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit. So He turned and became their enemy, and He Himself fought against them. Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses.”
Again, what has been discussed concerns a very specific sin contrasted with every other sin and blasphemy — one that does not to appear in the written account covering the incident to be directly and incontrovertibly indicated as having transpired. It seems to be very dangerous ground to assign that to someone without it matching exactly what is in the Gospel accounts (and even then, I would be hesitant to be the one charging another with that, let alone Paul).
“So when the Lord said that those who blasphemed the Spirit couldn’t be forgiven “neither in this world, neither in the world to come,” we have to conclude that with the saving of Saul, God introduced a whole new world. A world called “the dispensation of the grace of God” (Eph. 3:2). A world in which grace reigns”
The term used above in Matthew 12:32 for world (aiōni — the base word also translated age, space of time per Strong’s) was used elsewhere:
“And He said to them, “Truly I say to you that there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God, who shall not receive manifold more in this time—and in the age (aiōni) that is coming, eternal life”” (Luke 18:29-30, cf. Mark 10:29-30).
From Mark 3:29: “But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of eternal sin.” What appears more reasonable – – the age / world to come referring to eternity, or to a couple of time periods later where what was once deemed “eternal sin“ is somehow not regarded in that manner? Regardless, doesn’t it seem prudent to not speak definitively without definitive evidence on so serious a subject?
For further context, the same writer appeared to have similarly definitive assertions of a sliver of time in which he claimed certain activities were mandated for what he called “kingdom saints”, including supposedly having to sell all of their possessions — even though Peter made indications in Acts 5:4 apparently to the contrary as far as land that apparently did not have to be sold by professed believers:
https://web.archive.org/web/20190822230004/https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/08/22/thursday-august-22nd-open-thread/#comments
As the writer categorically states that “we have to conclude” what he has concluded, let’s consider events leading to the “saving of Saul”. Per Acts 9:4 (cf. Acts 22:7, 26:14), Jesus asked why Saul was persecuting Him. Saul had “persecuted the church of God” (cf. 1 Cor. 15:9, also Galatians 1:13), a term with which he referred to the church at Corinth (cf. 1 Cor. 1:1, 2 Cor. 1:1, also used in Acts 20:28, 1 Timothy 3:5) as well as the “body of Christ” in the same letter (cf. 1 Cor. 12:27). This came along with pre-conversion references elsewhere to those persecuted believers as part of “the church” (cf. Acts 8:1, 3) and the “Way” (cf. Acts 9:2, also 19:9, 23, 22:4). Again, Saul / Paul was persecuting Jesus as he persecuted the church of God / body of (Jesus) Christ.
What was occurring in the church body that preceded the conversion and persisted after it may not seem to be distinctively defined by that event alone as much as being part of ongoing processes and purposes — which did include God’s work in due course in Paul and Paul’s ministry (cf. Col. 1:29). Along those lines, it is noteworthy that the writings in Acts 10 and 11 describing what those from that church body had revealed to them from above concerning salvation of the Gentiles did not appear to center around Saul / Paul, nor depend on the results of his conversion.
In light of all that and the myriad implications, a “whole new world” scenario hinging solely on Paul’s conversion does not appear to be anywhere near as definitively demonstrated as the writer seems to present it as ushering in a world after the “world / age (aiōni) to come” spoken of by Christ. All of this further reinforces the need for extreme caution as far as what constitutes “eternal sin”.
Any assertions about the consequences of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit other than what Jesus already stated are serious enough; applying a dispensationalism view with definitive statements yet questionable conclusions on such a serious matter is quite something to be serving up in such a format — the third article on the subject from this writer that I recall being posted here.
Most Catholics are familiar with the term mortal sin. Mortal sins deprive the soul of grace. They are serious transgressions of God’s law, done freely and deliberately with a clear understanding of what they are. Their result is to deny a soul entrance to heaven.
There are particular mortal sins that are so evil that they are said to be sins that cry to heaven for vengeance: murder (Gn 4:10), sodomy (Gn 18:20-21), oppression of the poor (Ex 2:23), and defrauding workers of their just wages (Jas 5:4).
Sins against the Holy Spirit are mortal sins that harden a soul by its rejection of the Holy Spirit. Six sins are in this category. They are despair, presumption, envy, obstinacy in sin, final impenitence, and deliberate resistance to the known truth.
Something I would like to share, a sort of warning I guess.
Over many years, I have often (because of my job) stood close to (and often spoke with) evil individuals who consider themselves elites. By evil I mean people who start or promote wars and destruction, or who wish to destroy our Republic, or who are basically criminals, and who feel no guilt or sympathy for their victims. This includes the Bushes, John Kerry, Kamala Harris, Paul Wolfowitz, Gavin Newsome and probably a hundred others.
Each time I encountered such a person, I would clear my mind, center myself, and try to sense any vibration, any aura, any clue or indication of their evil.
But nothing. No light went off. No sense of revulsion or foreboding. They seem like any other person.
So keep your guard up brothers and sisters, and continue to wear the armor of God.
Thank you for saying this. This has been my experience also. It is puzzling, as evil and good are diametrically opposed and carry different energy signatures (and I have felt those warning signs in other circumstances.) Although, many years ago when I shook hands with G.W.Bush I felt a powerful electric shock travel from his hand into mine and up my arm. It was startling.
Creepy, Jay, very creepy…
And woe be to him who calls evil, good and good, evil…
“By their fruits, we will know them…”
An aside, I have worked in and amongst evil, and the one thought that is recurring…these evil-doers, are children of God. The Father loves them, too. Forgiveness is theirs, if they ask.
The only difference, these so called ‘elite’ and you all know how I despise that term, by their educations, the wealth, their standing in communities and opportunities afforded them….know better. All of them.
I know a lot of people condemn these evil doers, to a place…and I am no different, esp. when I see the destruction of families and lives…I have to force myself to remember that like me, share the same Father in Heaven. Yes, hard to do….

Why good people love animals . . .
Bee GGGGGGGGGG, the early years, for sure.
Sorry, I can’t resist…. it has to be done. I discovered this song just recently, and I now feel the need to spread it around. It’s a totally strange, non-sensical thing, that for some odd reason just makes me HAPPY when I hear it. No matter what mood I’m in, this will snap me out of it. We can all use a little happy, right? 🙂
Exerent lock and loll!
I’m definitely in rove!
Today was liberation day in California. I went to Target in Emeryville (foot of Bay Bridge nestled between West Oakland and Southwest Berkeley) not wearing a mask. The friendly greeter made no mention of the fact. Inside the store only myself and a young black woman were not wearing masks. I still saw people wearing masks outside, even a man double-masked. It’s insane.
Washington end of the month hopefully. May the fleas of a 1000 camels infest inscumlee! Not wearing them anyway, only the mind numbed robots. 😉
I’ve stopped mask wearing. If a store says anything, it’s their property and I will (or better still just leave) but that’s all that’s going to happen. I ain’t wearn’ no mask to make people feel safe. BTW: There’s a long article about Fauci in the current National Review. He’s been lying about mask-wearing all along. He did it deliberately. Public health critters all think they have a higher calling to allows them to lie for the public good. I never trusted that little slime-ball.
Maskless and jabless here but we must not let our guard down.
Avoid crowds. And wash your hands! I am obsessed about that…!
50 years ago, the first thing I learned in my undergrad nursing was “handwashing is the single most important act to prevent the spread of infection”. It holds true today.
And hand sanitizer is not the save all:
https://ohsonline.com/articles/2019/09/30/studies-show-hand-washing-may-be-more-effective-than-sanitizer.aspx
Agree, didn’t the Resident say something about plague Round#2?
The masks are silly under most circumstances, but good hygiene can save a world of trouble.
Dental assistant, after I thanked her for diligently wiping down xray apron etc, noted that there are a lot of moves we all should have been doing long ago. She described working as a waitress and observing runny nosed small children mouthing ketchup bottles on the table and the parents just leaving the bottle there… now restaurants dont put bottles out on the tables.
Wash hands and stay home as much as you can when sick. Get somebody else to bring by the groceries and do errands if you are snarffley?
Huh, National Review.
Mr. Bill Buckley wouldn’t recognize his beloved creation, circa 2021.
Neither would many a conservative who cut their teeth on the National Review Magazine and the Firing Line TV show.
Side note: Although he is thought of as a New Yorker, Bill’s granddad was a sheriff in Duval County, Texas, a county close to the Texas/Mexican border and famous for the Box 13 that got LBJ elected in one of the earlier fraudulent elections in the USA. No machines involved with that one except for the democrat political machine in Duval County who manually stuffed the box with LBJ’s votes.
ps That occurred long after Bill’s granddad was sheriff … he had nothing to do with stuffing Box 13.
There is an old saying: “There are no new crimes, only new criminals.”
It’s not insane….it’s conditioning. Welcome to the new normal where federal suggestion is enforced by private industry, because local health inspectors will shut them down.
A triad of tyranny.
Dear Heavenly Father we thank you and praise you for this new day and for the opportunity it gives us to reach just one more hurting soul. Today may be the last opportunity for some to hear of the forgiveness freely offered through the sacrifice of your faithful Son. Dear Father God help us to see the terrible hurt and rejection the lost are feeling and please give us the words that will set their hearts free from the chains that bind them. In the Holy name of Yahshua we pray.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS?
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friend.”…”I have called you friends.” John xv. 13, 15
Jesus does not ask me to die for Him, but to lay down my life for Him. Peter said – “I will lay down my life for Thy sake” and he meant it; his sense of the heroic was magnificent. It would be a bad thing to be incapable of making such a declaration as Peter made; the sense of our duty is only realized by our sense of the heroic. Has the Lord ever asked you – “Wilt thou lay down thy life for My sake?” It is far easier to die than to lay down the life day in and day out with the sense of the high calling. We are not made for brilliant moments, but we have to walk in the light of them in ordinary ways. There was only one brilliant moment in the life of Jesus, and that was on the Mount of Transfiguration; then He emptied Himself the second time of His glory, and came down into the demon-possessed valley. For thirty-three years Jesus laid out His life to do the will of His Father, and , John says, “we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” It is contrary to human nature to do it.
If I am a friend of Jesus, I have deliberately and carefully to lay down my life for Him. It is difficult, and thank God it is difficult. Salvation is easy because it cost God so much, but the manifestation of it in my life is difficult. God saves a man and endues him with the Holy Spirit, and then says in effect – “Now work it out, be loyal to Me, whilst the nature of things round about you would make you disloyal.” “I have called you friends.” Stand loyal to your Friend, and remember that His honour is at stake in your bodily life.

✟
“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you…”
Philippians 1:3 (KJV)
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.

Good evening WeeWeed!
Tried looking into details. What a rabbit hole. Paging Alice.
The old ones have been banned in manufacture in the U.S. But still come in via offshore manufacture. I would say buy US, but US manufacturers find replacements that also could be banned.
Worse, there is an active govt campaign to research this with the intention of more bans and controls. Started immediately in the new administration with declarations of political influence over past reports and resumption of previously stopped actions.
So basically, there is a major political influence game being played right now. I wouldn’t doubt that this news is a part.
Furthermore, even the govt watchdogs use wishy washy terms in the fear mongering. can, may, indicates, all those are used to scare when they don’t really know.
On the other hand, the cdc has been monitoring it in our blood levels for quite some time. use micrograms per liter. (I hate mixed units) A liter of water is about a thousand grams, so roughly parts per billion. Some are in the 20-30 range others less.
And supposedly it can accumulate in the body. But I didn’t see much detail.
So we are all walking containers of fluorinated plastics and that must be bad, though we are not really sure. And with everything coming from china now a days, good luck getting it out of our consumer products even with a ban.
I forgot, the cdc data shows this must be a racist conspiracy because black men have more than white men. It is very important that we segregate the data in this manner. Otherwise, we might miss some dastardly difference to blame on racism.
Jim in TN….food for thought, many high level, Westminster type dog handlers that I know, groom their ‘wards’, themselves. And they don’t use products meant for dogs. Almost all the handlers I know, use products that are for people/humans when possible.
The rationale is that the quality controls are of a higher standard. That said….

I swear, DC is full of magic these days. Just when you think you know who someone is, they get a makeover and they don’t look the same. And some just disappear from the scene all together.
But, fact checkers will say you are seeing things or making it all up. Biden is better than ever and Harris is on her A game. Fauci is a miracle doc and …oh, if you’re sick of hearing the lies, hang on. Soon they will have to say what God wants them to say, and that is the truth. There will be no getting around it. That day is coming soon.
[Excerpt] Read more at the link above…
I would like to thank Sundance for being the opulence of truth. Something this country desperately needs more of. God bless America.
Finest of fabric.
There was a great man, a man of knowledge, wisdom, character. He did great things, accomplishments that are written about and studied by scholars of the world.
When asked where his greatness came he replied, “I wear clothes that are woven with the finest threads.”
If anyone pressed him n that answer he would explain.
“The very threads of my life’s fabric are woven each morning with the word of God. I read and study each morning. Those threads I wear are not mine but my Lords, his clothes.”
Put on the righteousness of God. Put on his armor. In Jesus name. Robes of righteousness.
So what are Filthy rags? That is a day without Gods word!
That’s what that means.
How will you know his voice? By knowing his word.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Amen ?

This looks like a good site to follow for articles covering the virus. The article today on parents in Florida sending masks worn by their children for 5 to 8 hours to see what was on them is really interesting.

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.
Amen.
Amen.
