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 †

In a nutshell – Where were/are/will you/me/us be.
Hello.
Why did you decide to place an irrelevant secular song in reply to a Christian Bible sermon by Charles Spurgeon?
Your purpose?
My dear DanDeplorable, I hardly think the question “where you you when I was burned and broken…” is “secular” – Personally I believe them to be the very core of what “Christianity” means – or at least SHOULD mean. The sole intention of the post and tune was to remind all of us of that – or do we no longer adhere to the message and actions of Jesus, St Paul, and other righteous souls. That our CORE faith is to honor the creator by NOT turning away from the burned and broken among us. The world is currently severely broken, many, many souls are in despair, but it appears that some here believe my purpose here is to what???????????? – If even 1 person remembers and reaches out to someone in need, I’ll take the criticisms on the chin every day while I am still able.
Oh the joy!
Oh! What a Savior!
Thanks for posting ?
My life is but a weaving
Between my God and me.
I cannot choose the colors
He weaveth steadily.
Oft times He weaveth sorrow;
And I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper
And I the underside.
Not ’til the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Will God unroll the canvas
And reveal the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver’s skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
In the pattern He has planned.
He knows, He loves, He cares;
Nothing this truth can dim.
He gives the very best to those
Who leave the choice to Him.

“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding….Job 38:4
Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, or loose the cords of Orion? Can you lead forth a constellation in its season, and guide the Bear with her satellites? Do you know the ordinances of the heavens, or fix their rule over the earth?” Job 38:31-33
Check back tomorrow ?
When Pepe’ plays his music becomes magical. Personally, I think he is the current greatest living classical guitarist. He sets a mark that other classical guitarists must meet.
Just sampled each now. Will come back later and enjoy them. Lovely music.
The Romeros have recorded all of Boccherini’s guitar quintets. A joy to listen to their performances. None better.
WE PRAISE YOU AND ACKNOWLEDGE YOU, O GOD, TO BE THE LORD
This setting of the Te Deum was recorded at a regional youth conference a few years ago. The huge number of young voices and the orchestra match the music and the meaning well, I think.
The music was composed by Gustav Holst and adapted by Ralf Vaughan Williams. I’ve included the usual words to the Te Deum below. They are a little different from the ones sung here, which are under copyright. The two versions are equivalent in meaning as far as I can tell.
We praise You O God; we acknowledge You to be the Lord.
All the earth now worships You, the Father everlasting.
To You all angels cry aloud, the heavens and all the powers therein.
To You cherubim and seraphim continually do cry:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth;
heaven and earth are full of the majesty of Your glory.
The glorious company of the apostles praise You.
The goodly fellowship of the prophets praise You.
The noble army of martyrs praise You.
The holy Church throughout all the world does acknowledge You.:
The Father of an infinite majesty; Your adorable, true, and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.
You are the King of glory, O Christ;
You are the everlasting Son of the Father.
When You took upon Yourself to deliver man,
You humbled Yourself to be born of a virgin.
When You had overcome the sharpness of death,
You opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You sit at the right hand of God
In the glory of the Father.
We believe that You will come
to be our judge.
We therefore pray You to help Your servants,
Whom You have redeemed with Your precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with Your saints
In glory everlasting.
Have you heard Vaughan Williams’s FIVE MYSTICAL SONGS? I wish I could link them for you. But, believe me, they are so uplifting. I feel you would appreciate them.
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.””
It is less than seven weeks until the birthday of Our Savior, and I remind my Brothers and Sisters that demonic activity is known to increase in the days leading up to Christmas. You may wish to add requests in your prayers for additional strength and protection in the upcoming weeks.
Mic drop.
Dr. Kent Hovind explains, Where Did God Come From? (2 min vid)
https://streamable.com/in1hnw
Very good. Short, sweet and concise.
Oooo, I really like that. There’s no right answer to a wrong question. “Where did God come from?” cannot be answered because the premise has to be rejected.
It’s like the question “How did the little man get in the TV?” You can’t answer it because its premise is wrong. It takes a lot of instruction to bring the questioner up to an understanding of electronic images and how they are transmitted.

Jurassic Park…but with a cat.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Amen ?
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.
The Trisagion Hymn
and
the 50th Psalm (Septuagint)
THE UNRIVALLED POWER OF PRAYER
“We know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Romans viii. 26
We realize that we are energized by the Holy Spirit for prayer; we know what it is to pray in the Spirit; but we do not so often realize that the Holy Spirit Himself prays in us prayers which we cannot utter. When we are born again of God and are indwelt by the Spirit of God, He expresses for us the unutterable.
“He,” the Spirit in you, “maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God,” and God searches your heart not to know what your conscious prayers are, but to find out what is the prayer of the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of God needs the nature of the believer as a shrine in which to offer His intercession. “Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.” When Jesus Christ cleansed the temple, He “would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.” The Spirit of God will not allow you to use your body for your own convenience. Jesus ruthlessly cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and said – “My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.”
Have we recognized that our body is the temple of the Holy Ghost? If so, we must be careful to keep it undefiled for Him. We have to remember that our conscious life, though it is only a tiny bit of our personality, is to be regarded by us as a shrine of the Holy Ghost. He will look after the unconscious part that we know nothing of; but we must see that we guard the conscious part for which we are responsible.

?Gov. Newsom Cancels All Scheduled Appearances, Hasn’t Been Seen in Public Since Getting Covid Booster Shot on October 27

Very interesting background on Bush Family …
The Bush Family Affair With China

JMO,
The Stockholm Syndrome …….. alive in the USA.
The vaccinated are the hostages to the PsyOps of the past two years created by the communist governments and corrupted medical organizations who are holding them hostage with shutdowns, mandates and vac passes.
Witness they are announcing that the vaccinated are no longer “considered” vaccinated and have to go in for their “ko-booster jab”……backed up by the communist dc government and their fellow travelers in the corrupted medial organization’s jabberwocky.
If this doesn’t wake some people up to the scam, then they officially qualify for a spot in the Stockholm Syndrome Hall of Fame.
Got called out yesterday morning to do Nestles shuttles. It figures that some driver that was committed to do that work would call off since it was a beautiful clear dry day with the temp reaching 67 deg. F.
So from 11:00 till 22:00 I was pulling a loaded refer from the Nestles plant and taking it 60 mi. down to a refrigerated warehouse in Franklin, IN where I would hook to an empty refrigerated trailer and bring it back. I would fuel the empty trailers and clean the inside if necessary before taking them back the Nestles. Three round trips hooking to 6 different trailers altogether. Only one did I have to take into the express bay at the garage to have some work done because the tandems didn’t want to slide.
Learned that I will be getting a brand new set of Michelin super singles on my tractor as soon as it is assured it will be in during the hours that the tire service people are working. Much needed before road conditions get bad.
Congrats on the tires. I mentioned your smaller diameter tires to a new trucker and he was intrigued.
It’s just common sense. Reduce the diameter of a tire by 4″ and you reduce the circumference.
36″ diameter = 113.1″ circumference
32″ diameter = 100.5″ circumference
Difference being 12 1/2″ less circumference.
The governor limits the engine RPM in the highest gear based on the circumference of new tires to limit the top speed on level ground so the drive axle is turning at the RPM to yield a 68 mph speed with new tires. But with tires 4″ less in diameter and axle still turning the same RPM your covering 12 1/2″ less distance with each revolution.
Depart 03:00 tomorrow for another run to the Toyota Service parts distribution center in KC, MO. Then run up to St. Joseph, MO to pickup new dry automobile batteries to bring back.
Got to be a barbeque joint close to the freeway in St. JO. Just wishing , 😉
Now I want barbeque…
No time. Last time I did this one I went over my clock getting to a Loves that is a mile away from where I picked up the batteries and put it down as “safe haven”.
All the forces of darkness cannot stop what God has ordained. Isaiah 14.27
Where is Waldo/Gavin Newsome?
He disappeared 12 days ago right after he received his “Booster” shot. This man is the personification of manufactured cynosure, yet, he cancelled his trip to Glasgow where the photo ops and speeches about “Climate Change” necessary to further promote his pursuit of the presidency are der rigueur.
Hopefully he is deader than disco, or on death’s door. The mandatory vaccines that he is forcing into little children, who have a better chance of being struck and killed by lightning are dangerous and unproven, If he suffers, and I hope he does, the neurasthenia and malaise he insists we all, again, including children, must risk for the continuation of the narrative which he hopes will ensconce him into high station, it’s the very least Karma we should expect for this pretentious ghoul.
I’ve prayed for exactly that for all who persecute us. And especially now for the torturers of the DC POWs, including the corrupt and elitist judges who keep them there. And I pray deeply for those POWs whose lives are ruined, who are separated unjustly from their families in this season of family and friends. And for all who love them.
Sooner or later, everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences –
Robert Lewis Stevenson
I’ll be using that one. Thanks

Netflix South Africa Scholarship: Whites Need Not Apply
“Blatant discrimination of this nature is unacceptable. With this scholarship, an ambitious white student that wants to apply will be immediately rejected based solely on the colour of their skin, regardless of their financial background. To demonstrate how cruelly discriminatory this scholarship is, its criteria favours the black child of a rich politician or billionaire over a white child of an impoverished household,” said AfriForum’s Ernst van Zyl.

Ah, that reminds me of when Gru asked for a dart gun.
But that thing created a stinky brown cloud.
There is an ivermectin panic on the big tech and MSM right now. Massive articles from MSM on Ivermectin trying to push a danger narrative and also negative press on Americans Frontline Dr’s, again, to keep the Covid narrative alive. Just go to the Goog and type ivermectin then look at all the panic news articles. We are over the target. Big-Pharma is panicking. This medicine has been widely used by humans without any problems for 40 years. It’s inventor won a Nobel Prize after 20 years of successful use and after 100 million people were cured of a broad spectrum of problems without any side effects.
Get your Ivermectin while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
