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 †

Bridge to Kingdom!
Dan, upon reflecting on WP’s post today, I’m being continuously drawn to your image today while I reflect on the words
For me, it’s a powerful image.
Wow, Dan…wow!❤️
Agreed indeed kitty kitty 🐱
I’m doubling up on Cat’s wows, Dan. The first picture is as clear on where we are as it gets, and describes perfectly how I see us now in my mind and feel in the depths of my soul.
The second is simply joyful, an antidote to all that we face today and what we’ve been promised as believers in the shed and redeeming Blood of Jesus Christ.
No more need be said, Dan…you’ve said it all.
Not quite , your commentary is the icing❤️
I don’t know, Cat. Your reaction was mine. I really did struggle to find the words. That’s how much those two pictures affected me, as they did you and Frank. Thank you for your sweet words.🤗💓

“Outside are the dogs . . . “
— Revelation 22:15
WP-having trouble locating something related to Rev 22:15
Revelation, along with the canon of Scripture, ends with a benediction and prayer for Jesus to return.
I feel like I just read an entire book only to find the last chapter missing. …
Can anyone help me?
Hi Feral Cat,
I’m here for a few minutes and will try to help.
But I don’t understand what you are asking. Can you elaborate?
Can’t locate the benediction and prayer for Jesus return mentioned 👆. Perhaps I’m thumbing too fast.
Will keep looking, found a lot a neat stuff along the way❤️
Days become busy WP, thanks for your response
Hope your day is a bright and sunny as your online personality ❤️
Perhaps this…
Revelation, chapter 22 (ESV):
7. “And behold, I am coming soon.”
12. “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing My recompense with Me, to repay each one for what he has done.”
20. He Who testifies to these things says,
“Surely I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
❤️
👌
“…That the man of God be perfect…”
Trying, WP, I’m trying. And many times failing miserably. But up I get and with the loving help of Jesus Christ I will try again. Thank goodness for His unending mercy and grace.
This sermon will be my “walking stick” as I start the new, and it is to be hoped, joyous year for each and every one of us. Thank you.
Thank you. Especially for Somebody’s Praying. I sure could use that!
🙏
🙂
Garrison ❤️
Didn’t get past “somebody’s praying” before I open my mouth🙃
At our meal time, one prayer that is used often:
Bless us dear Lord for the gifts we are about to receive.
please look out for our loved ones
In Jesus name amen
I’m constantly interrupting the blessing by adding:
Please look out for our loved ones and everyone we haven’t met yet.
For me it doesn’t sound right without this addition
Thanks for the opportunity to share❤️
Blessings in all the day brings 🙏
Good morning, Cat! What a beautiful prayer before partaking. Your addendum has stirred memories of a prayer I read and probably still have on my phone which I’ll try to find. The part which has stayed with me is small but such an impression did it make that I remember it. It was wishing all things good for “those who know Him and for those who do not know Him yet.” I found it particularly moving.
I hope your day is a truly good one. We’re having a Father Brown Marathon day with our 3 grands (2×16 plus 13). The lads passed their driver’s tests yesterday so we will celebrate later with a pizza.
Thank goodness they all look forward to coming over still, and I pray for years to come. But we all love the Father Browns which are gentle and funny and wonderful. Highly recommended!😊
🙂
Happy Cursday, Treepers! Dogs needs us as much as we need them. When we can come together all is well . . . 🙂

To the wiki we go, to find out why the media never wanted this story.
**************
Ian Robert Maxwell MC (born Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch; 10 June 1923 – 5 November 1991) was a British media proprietor, former member of Parliament (MP), suspected spy, and fraudster.[1] Originally from Czechoslovakia
Israeli controversy Edit
1948 war
A hint of Maxwell’s service to Israel was provided by John Loftus and Mark Aarons, who described Maxwell’s contacts with Czechoslovak communist leaders in 1948 as crucial to the Czechoslovak decision to arm Israel in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Czechoslovak military assistance was both unique and crucial for Israel as it battled for its existence. According to Loftus and Aarons, it was Maxwell’s covert help in smuggling aircraft parts into Israel that led to the country having air superiority during their 1948 war of independence.[48]
Mossad allegations; Vanunu case Edit
The Foreign Office suspected that Maxwell was a secret agent of a foreign government, possibly a double agent or a triple agent, and “a thoroughly bad character and almost certainly financed by Russia”. He had known links to the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), to the Soviet KGB, and to the Israeli intelligence service Mossad.[49] Six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence services attended Maxwell’s funeral in Israel, while Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir eulogised him and stated: “He has done more for Israel than can today be told.”[50]
Shortly before Maxwell’s death, a former employee of Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate, Ari Ben-Menashe, approached a number of news organisations in Britain and the US with the allegation that Maxwell and the Daily Mirror’s foreign editor, Nicholas Davies, were both long-time agents for Mossad. Ben-Menashe also claimed that, in 1986, Maxwell informed the Israeli Embassy in London that Mordechai Vanunu revealed information about Israel’s nuclear capability to The Sunday Times, then to the Daily Mirror. Vanunu was subsequently kidnapped by Mossad and smuggled to Israel, convicted of treason and imprisoned for eighteen years.[51]
Ben-Menashe’s story was ignored at first, but eventually journalist Seymour Hersh of The New Yorker repeated some of the allegations during a press conference in London held to publicise The Samson Option, Hersh’s book about Israel’s nuclear weapons.[52] On 21 October 1991, Labour MP George Galloway and Conservative MP Rupert Allason (also known as espionage author Nigel West) agreed to raise the issue in the House of Commons under parliamentary privilege protection,[a] which in turn allowed British newspapers to report events without fear of libel suits. Maxwell called the claims “ludicrous, a total invention” and sacked Davies.[53] A year later, in Galloway’s libel settlement against Mirror Group Newspapers (in which he received “substantial” damages), Galloway’s counsel announced that the MP accepted that the group’s staff had not been involved in Vanunu’s abduction. Galloway referred to Maxwell as “one of the worst criminals of the century”.[54]
Another installment of Civil War trivia.
Jeesh. Taking out the buglers could cause vital communication breakdowns? Amazing.
Bugling. Can it be heard with muskets firing and artillery exploding?
Yes, unless the bugler has been shot.
Yes it could. Understand that the Civil War battlefield was not just a noisy place it was also a very smoky place. Communication to mass maneuver had to be transmitted by sound. Failing that the soldiers looked to their Regimental standard or colors to get an idea what was going on. Messengers and the Company commanders knew that the Regimental Commander should be found by the colors. It marked his place on the field and thus its movements hinted at what the larger unit was doing.
And thus the color guard bearing the colors was a very hazardous place to be since the enemy often concentrated fire there. To be a member of the color guard, and in particular the color bearer, was a place of honor. Those selected were the steadiest in combat. They had to be. But they also were the most likely to get shot, especially on the attack when advancing.
Many a Medal of Honor was given for taking the enemies colors. The only other thing that came close was taking an enemy artillery piece. Both would usually be defended to the death.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

I’m adopting this as my word of the year, too.
https://freewestmedia.com/2021/12/22/2021-word-of-the-year-in-dutch-jab-regret/
“Jab regret” [prikspijt] has been named Word of the Year 2021 by the famous Dutch dictionary Van Dale. The word received 82.2 percent of the 49 000 votes cast on the Van Dale website.
Jab regret is the “regret a person feels for having been vaccinated against a particular infectious disease”.
I just spread that link. 🙌
😀
Super, JJ. I’m so sick of the epiteth “antivaxxer” used primarily in Britain as a sneering slur by virtue signalling uninformed volunteer lab participants.
I figured before the year was out some bright wordsmith would come up with just the right word for those whose eyes are now well and truly open. And here it is! Perfect.

He (He) sees.
I wrote the above to calm and encourage and remind myself.
One of my daughters told me about the fiasco yesterday.
Good Morning Treepers!
Family still in!
I have a cattle rancher friend who’s cousin from N Dakota is a large farmer who also specializes in financing for other farmers.
“The government is making it difficult for farmers to obtain loans to grow food.”
Keep prepping dear friends.
Howdy, Frank! Bless-ed morning to you and all under your roof.
I have been reading about this very thing for a few months. And it is as scary as it gets. Holodomor done the American way. Gates and other vultures buying up farmland as farmers can’t make a living because of deliberate government actions, or as we’ve seen shortages of fertilizer for example. As Dorothy said, “We’re not in Kansas anymore, ToTo.”
Enjoy your day, dear Frank. All God’s blessings be with you.💓
Thanks so much Bet.
Amazing days.
You are a blessing! So glad your youngsters still love your home. 🙌

Coffee, without it I’m not sure I could be truckin.
Really, I have hauled class 1 explosives and ammo and some other pretty hazardous material before but the most dangerous loads, at least to me as the driver, that I have pulled were not hazmat. They were paper!
Yes is said paper! Heavy spools of paper cannot be secured by straps or load bars. They won’t do a thing to stop that load from sliding. They are placed on asphalt mats on the floor to provide a base to try and keep them from sliding around.
Most other loads where you have concentrated heavy articles to carry, such as diesel engines, are framed in wood and nailed to the floor. Ingots of bronze or some other heavy expensive metals, are boxed and nailed to the floor. Tractors and fork trucks can be secured pretty well with wooden wheel chocks nailed to the floor. But paper? All you’ve got are those asphalt mats.
And quite often the mill your picking them up from is on a winding hilly road out in the boonies. I picked a load up in Maine that consisted of 4 rolls 8 ft. long. They were placed on cradles made of very heavy corrugated cardboard about 6″ thick that sat on those asphalt mats running down the length of the trailer. They were staggard down the length of the 53′ trailer. One on the lefthand side up forward. Then one on the right the next on the left and the last on the right.
Only an idiot plays Parnelli Jones with those loads. You wonder why sometimes you see trucks on ramps going 10 mph below the posted speed limit? Well, that is the answer sometimes.
I worked in printing for 40 years. Rolls of paper are dangerous. The rail cars are packed with reusable inflatable bags to fill the spaces after the cars are filled. When unloading a car, the first thing is to deflate the bags. They go back to the mill in the same car. I am surprised they do not use similar bags in trucks. Maybe they are afraid they will not get them back.
It also may be due to the fact that when the car is opened, any “rail damage” can be documented and refunded as it is the responsibility of the mill until unloaded. If you are responsible for the load and not the mill, they don’t care what happens.
Some presses use rolls close to 13 feet wide. That is about 8000 pounds.
Niiiiiice
Once in a while we got to deliver rolls of newsprint to small newspapers across the country. They were rolled in and wooden wedges hammered in to hold them in place on the bottom then load locks or straps if trailer had rails. Paper products to little Mom and Pop stores was interesting with the variety of owners around the states. Always liked delivering product to small business , so many wonderful people to meet. Lots of lifelong friendships made over the years. Best products to haul are ones you don’t handle yourself. I remember when truck stops only had about 5% rock and roll the rest was country and trucking songs on the juke box. My Dad and I figured one time that we used to drink about 30+ cups of coffee a day. Not sure how my stomach survived. 🙂
Niiiiiice
“AND EVERY VIRTUE WE POSSESS”
“All my fresh springs shall be in Thee.” Psalm lxxxvii. 7 P.B.V.
Our Lord never patches up our natural virtues, He re-makes the whole man on the inside. “Put on the new man,” i.e., see that your natural human life puts on the garb that is in keeping with the new life. The life God plants in us develops its own virtues, not the virtues of Adam but of Jesus Christ. Watch how God will wither up your confidence in natural virtues after sanctification, and in any power you have, until you learn to draw your life from the reservoir of the resurrection life of Jesus. Thank God if you are going through a drying-up experience!
The sign that God is at work in us is that He corrupts confidence in the natural virtues, because they are not promises of what we are going to be, but remnants of what God created man to be. We will cling to the natural virtues, while all the time God is trying to get us into contact with the life of Jesus Christ which can never be described in terms of the natural virtues. It is the saddest thing to see people in the service of God depending on that which the grace of God never gave them, depending on what they have by the accident of heredity. God does not build up our natural virtues and transfigure them, because our natural virtues can never come anywhere near what Jesus Christ wants. No natural love, no natural patience, no natural purity can ever come up to His demands. But as we bring every bit of our bodily life into harmony with the new life which God has put in us, He will exhibit in us the virtues that were characteristic of the Lord Jesus.
“AND EVERY VIRTUE WE POSSESS IS HIS ALONE.”
Oswald Chambers
December 30th Devotional
❤️🙋♀️😉
Good morning Cat! 💝🙏
I distinctly remember going through the beginning of my transformation. The pain of parts of me dying was extreme. (There is much more to be said about this, it is more involving of spirits attached to us leaving, and spirits attaching)
Jesus was with me through it all, thing is it was his presence that created much of the pain and death. It was like a flame burning off the dross. I see that now, but while in it all I wanted is to feel his comfort and presence.
It’s still that way, all I want is his spirit with me at all times. That love, he is my desire.
I still have dealings with my ego but not like the beginning. The more dead ego, the more Christ you can receive. It actually blocks his inflow. That describes any lack in us.
In hell a spirit hides in terror from Gods presence the pain and agony drives them from anything of God.
There is hope here for the lost. It is no more than a conscience decision to
allow Christ his work in us.
What a testimony! Thank you! 🙏
Good morning! How is your soul today?

BABY LIVES MATTER
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.

Romans 6:14 (KJV)

Mornin’ infidels!
Kinda like
If a man is alone in the woods with no women to hear him,
Is he still wrong?
😉
Of course sounds are made by falling trees. There would be something wrong with the world if laws of physics changed when people are around. The sound is a pressure wave created by the fall. Energy given off if you are there or not there.
Of course people hear about JoeBama corruption, but without the media harranging about it nothing will be done.
And it only becomes wrong after she hears about it. But then isn’t he always wrong no matter what he says or does or where he is?
PS, laws of world include those of quantum world that do include an observation changing what was measured. That doesn’t change a thing about the tree, and is also a law that doesn’t change.
If no one or nothing is there to hear it then it’s just a vibration that propagates through the air and ground. Sound is what we animals perceive those vibrations as.
not really different from light waves.
The waves are there whether there are eyes that ‘see’ them – or not
exquisitely stated.
humans are not needed to validate sound waves,
they exist and are produced irregardless of our presence.
the idea that the laws of the universe are dependent on human comprehension disagrees with me.
and rah, i understand your point, but how we interpret (hear) sound waves neither changes their existence nor alters their properties. 😁
best to both of you!
If nothing that can hear is there to hear them then they are not sound, but are just vibratory waves through a medium. IOW the mechanics of hearing and the perception is physiological and psychological thing. If there was no being within ear shot there was no sound.
Absolutely. 🙂
Probably.
Of course he is!😂😂😂
Good morning, Treepers

Good evening, Lonestar!! Busy day with our grands and just now checking back in. All blessings to you😊
I’ve had it up to here (touching throat) with covid but this column over at American Thinker should be viewed by all to discover good treatment protocols.
The very last paragraph nails it, for me there is zero trust in these institutions and professionals.
“It is well past time for Americans to wake up and realize that the institutions that we used to trust without question and the professionals that we held in the highest esteem are not what they used to be. We once again need to take responsibility to do our own research for our personal well-being. And most of all, we need to put our love of liberty, as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has so aptly put it, ahead of our fear of a germ.”
Left out, and I realize the writer is focused on early treatment and/or preventive protocols, is that the institutions I no longer trust are the very reason this virus/reason for control exists – never will I be convinced otherwise.
Politics corrupts everything it can possibly be involved in.

Josh called. He want’s to hold me until Tuesday to do the Toyota run to KC but doubts it will happen. He figures it is likely that there will be call offs due to hang overs on Sunday and so I will be likely be called then. I would say he’s probably correct.
But anyway, it has been a nice vacation with pay since I got in Thursday before Christmas and have not been bothered since.
I told Josh I would run New Years if he needed me. The only reason that New Years is important to me is because that is when I asked my bride to marry me and every New Years there after, no matter if I am on the road or not, I have asked her to marry me at the stroke of midnight on New Years.
rah – I found my quip about airplanes taking off.
In the Northern hemisphere airplanes tend to turn left during takeoff due to Coriolis effect.
In the Southern hemisphere airplanes also tend to turn left during takeoff because they were all built in the Northern hemisphere and got used to doing it that way.
I LOVE this one:
Maintain thy airspeed lest the earth rise up and smite thee
Blessings to you and your bride, rah. And Happy New Year however it plays out!
Thank you and back at ya!
Peoria Jones and I had a back and forth a few days ago on the Presidential Politics thread. Following up on my point – thoughts are things.
Last night, rather than sleeping, my mind kept swirling. I want to give folks a daily dose of one positive thought. Years ago I had a box of 3×5 cards – a saying for each day of the year. Read one, put it in a prominent spot for the day, and put it in the back for next year.
I know I kept them all – and added to them. I never could design a computer program that would put one a day on my screen. I’m going to organize them as best I can and present one a day for your enjoyment.
Most of them are not long. They are from folks like Paul Harvey and Mark Twain, some I don’t know who said what I saved (they were for me, after all), but I’ll include them too.
I hope you agree with my motive. I read every one of Stillwater’s prayers – and others on the Presidential thread. And all the prayers on the Daily post. Many of us visit CTH just for these morning ‘pick-me-up’ prayers. My sayings are short and sweet; some are funny. As Rush always said about humor, it has to be true to be funny.
Jon McNaughton makes sketches and includes quotes from our VSG P DJT. He has them for sale here: https://jonmcnaughton.com/chorus-of-critics-sketch-11×14-inch-litho-limited-edition-signed-and-numbered-75/ I got on his mailing list and save them all for future enjoyment. I plan to include those quotes too.
I’ll start with one from Dr Wayne Dyer. He, like so many of us, got very frustrated when he got stuck in daily traffic. One day he had a revelation: Traffic doesn’t care. You can pound the horn, get angry and waste precious moments of the life you are living today. Traffic doesn’t care.
He’s right, you know. We can do nothing about so much of what makes us upset and angry. Yes, we need to know the truth behind what’s happening. Yes, if there is something we can do about a problem – we NEED to take care of it. But if there is nothing we can do about it, like a traffic jam, it may be time to go do something else. As I recall Dr Dyer bought language tapes.
Oh MY!! What a treat for us all. Like a calendar. And I love the first. What we have no control over, much better to sit back and let it play out. Saves on the nerves, which heaven knows we all need to do these days. I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s offering😊
Thanks for the encouragement
Thinking of a title – Quip O’Day
For three months I did a run from Anderson, IN to the Allison Transmission plant in White Marsh, MD. White Marsh is just north of Baltimore. The first exit on I-95 North of the I-695 bypass.
Take off Sunday at 10:00 arrive at the facility and park in the line outside the gate. 6:30 they open up and I hit the same door. Loaded and unloaded and headed home. Out Sunday back Monday, Out Tuesday and back Wednesday. Out Thursday and back Friday.
When I left the facility I would hit the morning rush on I-695 as I made my way back to I-70. I would just sit back and leave a truck length between me and the vehicle ahead and watch the same cars weave in and out of traffic like they thought they were going to gain some advantage. Inevitably they would still be in about the same relative distance from my rig by the time I exited on I-70 as they were when they or I got on. All that weaving and dodging lane changing didn’t gain them much at all.
somehow I just knew you would understand – traffic doesn’t care.
you would have long ago figured out how to ride in fun – laughing at it all.
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. And Lord please comfort political prisoners everywhere
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.

I was watching Life Below Zero and of course the commercials include one from the WWF showing a polar bear standing on a piece of floating ice declaring climate change is destroying their homes. Actual surveys show that the polar bear populations have been growing in recent years. And this years Arctic sea ice extent is currently at the 2014 maximum level and if the forecasts are correct it is going to grow a great deal more. But that doesn’t stop the WWF from wanting to you make a monthly donation to “symbolically adopt” a polar bear cub. What simple minded drivel. But apparently it works.

Amen and good night all.
