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 †

Thinking of “today”, thinking of “now”:
2 Cor. 6:2 (cf. Isaiah 49:8)
“For He says: “In the acceptable time I listened to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Isaiah 55:6-7
“Seek the LORD while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on them, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.”
Hebrews 3:15a (cf. Psalms 95:7-8)
“As it has been said: “If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts…”
Revelation 22:17 (cf. Isaiah 55:1)
“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come, and the one who desires the water of life drink freely.”
Thinking of why:
Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Romans 5:8
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
John 5:24
“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.”
Thinking of how:
Luke 18:13
“And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’”
James 4:8a
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
John 6:28-29
“Therefore they said to Him, “What must we do, that we may be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you should believe in Him whom He has sent.””
Mark 9:24b
“‘Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.'”
Acts 16:30-31
“Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.””

Sorry I missed your question last night. I had already logged out. 🙁
Not a biggie. The fault was mine. This is the second time I’ve posted to the other forum. All I had to do was look where I was posting . . .

My dear, (was typing precious but word correct came up with prescient, well yes, I will take that), excellent inhabitants of this Treehouse, I awoke with a practical idea as we go into winter in these historic days.
I live in Texas where we had a failure of the electrical grid during a harsh cold snap last winter, I’m sure you remember this. Our part of town was okay, but in other parts of town, people stayed alive by using their wood-burning fireplace. We don’t have a wood-burning fireplace.
My idea is to right now, seek out neighbors that have wood-burning fireplaces, if you don’t. You could buy a supply of wood for them, and perhaps a sturdy rack to store the wood off the ground, and go in with other neighbors to have a chimney sweep check out the fireplace to see that it is in good working order.
I get nervous when the likes of Biden talk about a Dark Winter. Let’s go Amish and organize with our neighbors. You could do it as an individual or at the precinct level.
I’m in East Texas at Cedar Creek Lake. I was a busy boy during our grid issues last winter.
I can tell stories of the worst and best of humanity during those dark days.
Your post has challenged me to do more. Thank you.
Where are you located? ?
In the panhandle
Ah! I’ve peppered some some birds out your way.
we have two wood burning stoves. One up and one down. They are reasonably priced at Lowe’s. We have a cast iron that we love called Quaker. I recently read that the cast iron box stove changed our world when it was invented in America. Sadly, our Quaker is scarce now as company went out of business.
Here in Pennsylvania, we are losing oak trees to disease. We have been using the dead ones for firewood. I am trying to get a portable sawmill for my birthday bc the trunks are too beautiful to burn up. I want to use the wood for lumber.(well, I wouldn’t do cutting or building, just supervise ;D).
We are also putting in raised bed gardens with concrete blocks bc lumber prices are so high. I am learning how to grow open pollinated veg bc we can harvest seeds for next year.
Eating as close to earth as possible is vital. We are ingesting chemical crap in bags. Frozen veg, peppermint tea, all come from our nemesis China.
become as self sufficient as possible. Get a second oil tank. Grow some food, mint is invasive! Pick and dry it for tea. Buy from local stands and freeze/can. We use a spare freezer or big coolers as rodent proof storage for dry goods.
Buy Oster bread machine and make healthy bread in 10 minutes.
Take our country back one home/kitchen at a time! Stop depending upon grocery stores to feed you healthily. I think it was W who stopped requiring country of origin for food. His butthead dad set up that lying food pyramid.
25 September 1965
A former member of The New Christy Minstrels, Barry McGuire led the US hit parade with “Eve Of Destruction”. The controversial doom and gloom theme of the record was enough to have it banned from airplay by some US radio stations. The backing musicians on the track were members of The Grass Roots.
25 September 1976
After five years of recording and touring together, Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina play their farewell concert in Hawaii at the end of a 34 city tour. They reached the Top 20 of the Billboard chart with “Your Mama Don’t Dance” (#4 in 1972), “Thinking of You” (#18 in 1973) and “My Music” (#16 in 1973).
25 September 1982

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.
Happy Caturday infidels.
Oh, that is the funniest thing I’ve seen today.
Just purrfect.
G’day Wee.
THE “GO” OF RELATIONSHIP
“And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.” Matthew v. 41
The summing up of Our Lord’s teaching is that the relationship which He demands is an impossible one unless He has done a supernatural work in us. Jesus Christ demands that there be not the slightest trace of resentment even suppressed in the heart of a disciple when he meets with tyranny and injustice. No enthusiasm will ever stand the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His worker, only one thing will, and that is a personal relationship to Himself which has gone through the mill of His spring-cleaning until there is only one purpose left – I am here for God to send me where He will. Every other thing may get fogged, but this relationship to Jesus Christ must never be.
The Sermon on the Mount is not an ideal, it is a statement of what will happen in me when Jesus Christ has altered my disposition and put in a disposition like His own. Jesus Christ is the only One Who can fulfill the Sermon on the Mount.
If we are to be disciples of Jesus, we must be made disciples supernaturally; as long as we have the dead set purpose of being disciples we may be sure we are not. “I HAVE CHOSEN YOU.” That is the way the grace of God begins. Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are easy to us naturally; He only asks us to do the things we are perfectly fitted to do by His grace, and the cross will come along that line always.

Truckers report. Finally, an easy week.
Monday 04:00 departed for the Toyota service parts distribution center in Hebron, KY (Cincinnati area). Bobtailed directly from my home. Hooked a trailer fully loaded, nose to tail, floor to roof, with stacking tubs full of service parts.
Arrived at the Shop/drop lot at Paragould, AR and dropped the trailer. The weather was rainy all the way. A driver coming out of Texas would bring up a trailer full of empty racks and tubs and drop it. He would take the trailer I brought down to Dallas and I would take the trailer he brought back up the Hebron. But he would not arrive for several hours after I did and the the times were off on the run and so I took an extra long break at the drop lot.
Wasn’t very hungry so I just opened one of those foil pouches with a couple slices of SPAM in it and cut it up and put it on Triscuit crackers with Arby’s Horsey Sauce and heated up a small can of green beans to have with it and that was my dinner.
Hooked to the trailer loaded with racks and took it back to Hebron where I dropped it. The Toyota Service Parts facility at Hebron has over 500 slots divided into four sections for dropping trailers. When the driver arrives at the gate he/she signs in on a form giving the usual information of truck number, trailer number, name, trucking company name, and time of arrival. Then is issued a laminated map of the drop yard and a form which tells them the slot number into which they are to drop the trailer.
The driver drops the trailer in the designated slot then goes to the shipping and receiving office. There the driver turns in the Bills of Lading and the form that designated the parking slot of the trailer they brought. In my case I was to bring an empty back to the terminal in Anderson, IN. So they gave me a slip of paper with trailer number and slot number of the empty trailer I was to hook up to. The driver opens the doors of the trailer to drive to the gate. At the gate the driver returns the map and gives the guard the slip of paper and the guard confirms that the trailer number is correct. Then the driver pulls forward to a stop sign where the guard can see into the back of the trailer. After closing the doors the driver is free to go.
I arrived back at yard in Anderson and parked the empty trailer in a area designated for empties and then went in and got placard that says “Empty” and has the trailer number on it and places that in the Placard holder on the nose of the trailer.
After that I bobtailed over to the garage where the Safety office was because there were two permits in my 25 page permit book which were about to expire and got the new forms and put them in the permit book. I was also going the check on the status of the replacement New York HUT (Highway Usage Tax) sticker that I am waiting for but the person that handles that kind of stuff was in a meeting so it would have to wait until another time.
Finally, pull around the to fuel islands and fuel, purge the air tanks, top off the DEF and give the truck a good once over inspection. Pull forward to a garage door and go in and get a brush full of grease from a bucket to grease the fifths wheel. Then pull up to the dumpster and dump my trash bag and get rid of my pee bottles. Then pull around to my parking spot where my pickup truck is parked. Pull my pickup out of the spot and pull the tractor into it. Finally sign out of the Samsara system and put a new trash bag on the arm of the passenger seat and grab my phone, to go bag with thermoses, and lock the truck up and get in my POV and go home.
Two hours after getting home on Wednesday, Josh called. Told me I would be going out at midnight with a load of parts for Modine in Trenton, MO. I was in bed by 16:00 and up at 22:00. Hooked to the trailer and on my way .Trenton is about 20 miles north of Chillicothe off I-72 and the drive is an easy one.
I arrived at Modine and they had me back into a door at their warehouse where they unloaded the 38,000 lb. of freight. Then I backed into door 4 at the plant where I was loaded with empty plastic RoPac gaylords broken down. I then drove 80 miles back east to a Love’s truck stop to take my break and took off at 21:00 that night for home arriving back at the Anderson terminal at 05:10 Friday morning. Turned in the paperwork and dropped the trailer in door 48 Did my usual routine and parked the tractor. Walked in the door at home at o6:00 after filling the bird feeders. And my work week was done.
Have you heard anything about a trucker strike in the midwest supposedly Monday morning?
Not a thing! I don’t know about where you live, but based on the looks of the grocery store shelves around here, one might think there is already one going on.
Have I told you how much I love your Truckers’ reports? It’s an insight into the real world …and in all likelihood, you’ll be the first to alert the rest of us when the real stuff hits the fan.
I love and share a lot of the great links posted here on rumble and YouTube with family and friends. Thank you! They are usually impressed with the content I send.
However, not trying to be a whiner, could you please identify the links when you post? The links don’t always have the content in title.
Still having ocular trouble since wuflu, it’s difficult to even read comments, so leaving and going to other places is tough.
Thank you! ?
That would be helpful for me, too.
Actually I remember at one time the Guide to Posting Comments included a rule that posting a link should always be accompanied by a brief synopsis of the subject and content in the link. That rule, however, has disappeared in recent updates to the Guide.
Follow the science!
Look Around You: Season 1 Pilot – Calcium
Big pot of Chili simmering on the stove! Leaves are starting the change. Some fields being harvested. Yep, summer is done. September 1st was the first day of meteorological Fall. Wednesday, September 22nd was the first day of astronomical Fall and the one most will have on their calendar as the first day of Fall.
Meteorological Fall is based upon weather records starting back in the 1900s which breaks each season down into a three month period, while Astronomical Fall is based upon when the Equinox occurs. Due to the earths tilt relative to it’s orbital plain, the suns path across our sky is appearing to move further south to those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. On the 22nd of Sept is when the sun is at the celestial equator.
With the Fall or Autumn Equinox the sun has dropped below the horizon at the N. Pole and a person there would be experiencing a steady twilight there 24 hours each day. That twilight will continue but grow dimmer everyday through early October when it will turn to total darkness 24 hours per day until once again an ever brightening twilight appears and grows daily until sunrise on March 21st with the Spring Equinox.
Yumm , Chili. 🙂

Jeffrey Sachs was the head of the Covid 19 investigative team? LOL!
Look him up.
He is a friend of George Soros, runs the earth institute, set the looting policy for many nations including 1990’s Russian privatization disaster. There is your nexus bridging Covid 19, CRT, Shock Therapy of nations, Soros, World Economic Forum, Green New Deal, etc.

Here is what Jeffrey Sachs wrote about Trump
Jeffrey Sachs on the Catastrophic American Response to the Coronavirus
https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/jeffrey-sachs-on-the-catastrophic-american-response-to-the-coronavirus
Now we know he was an insider with ECO Health Alliance networks, as head of the Covid19 investigative team, we wonder what he know when he wrote this anti-Trump missive during the Trump administration.
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
