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 †

It’s grilled New York Strip steak, toss salad, and Indiana corn on the cob day at my house today.
I was informed that all the loads are covered through Monday and I will only be called to run if a driver calls off their run.
The best blue=grass band—EVER!!!!
Agree 100%. Have you heard this? Krauss and Yo-Yo Ma ~ Wexford Carol. Ssssooooooooo beautiful.
Yep +++ 🙂 Allison is a treasure. But then, so was her band. Let’s hop;e they come back at some time . . .
Are you familiar with Kate Rusby? Another beautiful voice with complete lack of pretention. She tends to sing sad slow songs.
Thanks for posting this, Sarah. I didn’t know about Kate Rusby.
Wow! Thanks Garrison.

A very tiny, very small, very brief bit of goodness…
It was a great time to be young.
Rod Steward and Ronnie Wood at their best. Ronnie’s slide guitar makes the whole song.
Beyond Motown.
Before he was Rick Deringer he was Rick Zehringer.
52 years ago magic happened.. Have a blessed Sunday, Treepers . . . 🙂

Thanks for posting this song…reminded me of another good song from that time…
5 September 1964
The Animals had their only number one hit on Billboard’s Hot 100 when “House of the Rising Sun” reached the top. To promote the group in the US, disc jockeys were sent boxes of animal crackers wrapped with special promotional material. The band would continue to turn out hits like “We Gotta Get Out of This Place”, “It’s My Life”, “Don’t Bring Me Down”, “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood”, “Monterey” and “San Franciscan Nights” before splitting up at the end of the decade.

5 September 1981
Stevie Nick’s solo LP, “Bella Donna”, reached the top of Billboard’s album chart with the help of a pair of duet singles, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” with Tom Petty and “Leather and Lace” with Eagles’ drummer, Don Henley.
5 September 1987
The US Rock ‘n’ Roll TV show American Bandstand was officially cancelled after 30 years on ABC-TV.
This back stage video of Nicks singing while having her make up applied is really fantastic:
Fleetwood Mac’s music was great. Most of it inspired by the continual relationships between band members. It was like they hurt each other to inspire each other.
She looks much better with less eye makeup than what she wears on stage.
Hello, I am Israeli and a Trump supporter.
I am positing here a very rare interviews form an ex-Mossad Director. It’s short and you may find it fascinating.
as a note Sayeret Matkal is the name of the top Israeli Special Force Unit, equivalent to Delta Force I the US and SAS in the UK.
Benjamin Netanyahu was in that Unit and his brother Yoni was it’s commander and died in action.
Mazel tov!
Good morning David. I watch for your posts and am glad to see you here again. I’ve been following the goings on in your country with interest, and I send my prayers and truly best wishes for her safety, in every sense.
Watched it. Glad you posted it.
I spread it abroad. ?
Thanks for this!
David, good to see you again. Toda raba!
That rescue mission was brilliant, daring, and an example of what a nation can, will, and should do, leaving no option off the table to rescue its citizens. Thank you for posting that. It serves as a stark reminder of the current state of affairs in which we find ourselves. G-d bless you.
Shanah Tovah, David.
David, there is no doubt as to the Israeli ability in every imaginable field, you have some very, very, smart people in your genealogy. What I am struggling with however, as I am sure are a lot of others who watch Israel carefully with regard vaccine and general Covid related compliance, and “authoritarian” dictates. What if you are liberty to answer is going on there in this regard. To me, it appears worrisome that the State is mandating these measures – what gives????
Couple things. FB had a report of nurses in Oregon NOT wanting to take the vax, Oregon is soliciting nurses from anywhere else to come in, expenses paid, it was up for a few minutes then disappeared …. Interesting comments including some dolt who suggested the nurses needed “education ”
Also Wally Cleaver (Tony Dow) and Patrick Reed the golfer both had bad covid after being vaxed so the new term for that is “double pneumonia ” since they won’t tell the truth about why they are, or were, so sick. Tony is still in hospital.
Hard to live our lives in the cesspool of lies
Oregon State Police are suing their Communist Governor over vax mandates too.
Vive la resistance!
My stepson is visiting. He had JJ jab and was severely ill two weeks later. He suspects Delta, I suspect the jab. His best friend ended up with 2 collapsed lungs. infection,,, induced coma, intubation,, etc etc.. this guy barely survived and is now in a residential rehab. I blame the jab….. The lies are killing people,, how these two guys survived is the miracle…
People and their experiences.

God truly bless them. Truth will out for these “it’s for your health” jabs.
I feel like I am suspended over an abyss waiting for the other shoe to drop on these vaccines. I am not vaxxed but two of my kids are, not to mention millions of other people. I am hoping and praying for a good result but obviously the vax is leaky and is not working. They have to stop pushing it and address reality.
I believe we’re getting closer to that time when all will be revealed. There is too much coming out now to ignore or hide. I am in such sympathy for you with your kids. We all know those who have been jabbed and hope for the best for them. But when its members of one’s own family, that’s the hardest. Your description of how you feel is about the best I’ve seen. I told my hubby I feel as if we are all being hunted down, and there’s no place to hide. I’m praying that someone somewhere is working on an effective countervaccine to completely offset whatever damaging effects these jabs are causing. If so, Godspeed to their efforts.
Just spread that far and wide. ?
Language is a weapon for those who wish to deceive. I’ve noticed that there have been quite a number of people who have died “after a short illness”. Make of that what you will.
Frenchies being baaad!
Kitty has more courage than Milley, Biden, Blinken and Austin.
It’s like being a Conservative Christian watching the state media these days.
Looking for a theme song to this madness overtaking the world?
I suggest clarinet genius Artie Shaw remixed with a modern thumpin beat.
NIGHTMARE
This maybe?
THE MISSIONARY WATCHING
“Watch with Me.” Matthew xxvi. 40
“Watch with Me” – with no private point of view of your own at all, but watch entirely with Me. In the early stages we do not watch with Jesus, we watch for Him. We do not watch with Him through the revelation of the Bible; in the circumstances of our lives. Our Lord is trying to introduce us to identification with Himself in a particular Gethsemane, and we will not go; we say – “No, Lord, I cannot see the meaning of this, it is bitter.” How can we possibly watch with Someone Who is inscrutable? How are we going to understand Jesus sufficiently to watch with Him in His Gethsemane, when we do not know even what His suffering is for? We do not know how to watch with Him; we are only used to the idea of Jesus watching with us.
The disciples loved Jesus Christ to the limit of their natural capacity, but they did not understand what He was after. In the Garden of Gethsemane they slept for their own sorrow, and at the end of three years of the closest intimacy they “all forsook Him and fled.”
“They were all filled with the Holy Ghost” – the same “they,” but something wonderful has happened in between – Our Lord’s Death and Resurrection and Ascension; and the disciples have been invaded by the Holy Spirit. Our Lord had said – “Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you,” and this meant that they learned to watch with Him all the rest of their lives.
Oswald Chambers
September 5th Devotional
Beautiful. On the Cross, the dark forces thought they knew what they were doing, but the outcome was fulfillment of God’s intent, wonderful beyond words. I am sure this is true in our time too. I can feel great activity and intensity just beyond me in the eternal world, a kind of excitement like one feels in a birthing room, and even the sky feels full of some kind of celebration.
Day 22 of 30 Collective Fast
May the glory of the Lord be seen once again upon His People and upon this nation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
Prayer of Saint Ioannikios the Great of Bithynia (+ 846)
My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection the Holy Spirit. O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.

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.
Blessed Assurance
Greater Than Great
Nothing like waking up and checking my news feed to see that a loud mouth, bigoted, black woman is calling this former SF soldier an “American Taliban”. And they wonder why people like me hate them.

Horrible….
Just went to Krispy Kreme (Which only do every couple months, we love the donuts but, well. You know…)
I could not believe my ears, the girl at the drive through asked if we were vaxed….. !!!!!
I said why do you ask (I know pretty lame but we were so caught off guard ).
She replied if we were vaxed we would get one donut free………
We paid for all 3 , I told we would never be back (sniff ) and to please tell her MGMT we don’t think politics should be thrown into a nice Sunday experience…………. I was LIVID
The world is gone mad…..
Glad you threw sand in their dough!

Did a GI on the inside of my truck this afternoon. White glove ready from top to bottom. After the floor and the door handles the dirtiest place was the steering wheel. I just cleaned it two weeks ago but it took me several go overs to get it spick and span again. The only thing left to do is put my bedding back in it after the wife finishes washing and drying it.
I don’t use sheets. I put my a sleeping back opened up over the mattress and use a big blanket for on top. I sleep in sleepers. I have three big pillows that can be used to help level my body if I have to take a break on very uneven ground. I sleep in sleepers.
In an emergency if the engine isn’t running and I am in really cold I can use the sleeping bag which is semi-mummy rated to -20 F.
Used to be a rule your bunk had to have clean white sheets on it. When it’d been more than 24 hours without a shower I slept on the covers.
Thank you rah for this bit of info. When I pass tractor trailers off the interstate and it looks like they are taking a break and sleeping, always wonder what the sleep is like. It is comfy? Bed too hard or too narrow? Etc
I’d like to introduce if I may a genuine homegrown (My hometown) artist, who I long believed is/was a lost jewel. I would spend many, many a dreamy (tipsy) late, late night being entertained (sometimes joining in with the old shaker) (it was late).
This words and music capture exactly that era – maybe it still exists?? I danno – This is after all Africa – the Garden of Eden. (Egoli) (The place of Gold)
Dave Goldblum – Say Africa.
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.
