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 †

Morning Garrison, how appropriate “The Sting”.
Got the name now for Granny Splice Chapter 2
Cheers.
🙂
God!!! What a life your have led!! And continue to lead! A intrepid soldier. I am happy to continue to hear your stories and your challenges. You must know that for many of us you are a beacon for truth and being stalwart in the face of fear. You give courage to the fearful, and strength to those of us who might be afraid. And so I don’t want to blow up you ego! 😂. A small voice here saying, Thank you..
Thanks, Garrison,! My, has it been over 30 years since I’ve listened to any Ragtime?
IMHO Joshua Rifkin is the best of the best. Playing in a slower tempo completely transformed Scott Joplin’s music for me. 🙂
Really liked the slower tempo. 👍

Amen, W_P, never knew about the compass barrel cactus. What an awesome God we have!

THE LORD’S MY SHEPHERD
“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”
John 10:11-18, ESV

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.

Verse of the Day for Wednesday, January 12, 2022
✟
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”
1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV)
https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/verse-of-day.php
It is Wednesday, and the “email-job-caste” commies are, no doubt, sending vast number of emails to each other …….. how do we know that?
Because, that is all that they do. They produce nothing ……. nothing but emails…….and misery for Americans.
In creepy joe’s America, what we have is the classic situation of the tail wagging the dog.
The sleeping giants that are America’s ordinary working men and women, her shopkeepers, firemen, nurses, pilots, truckers and train drivers, have awaken and are not happy-campers.
It is by their work alone that the big cities can keep going. The “email-job-caste” commies live in the big cities.
The more the ordinary Americans are willing to use this power to fight back, the harder they squeeze the “email-job-caste” commies and their big city centers. More torque, please.
MAGAs have the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities in America and the best leader President Trump!

When you feel the shadow crossing the eagle is in the air.
Greetings Treepers!
Just a brief update: Have been sick and tired of being sick so I concentrated on sleep.
Lord willing, I should be back in the saddle tomorrow. I miss reading/meeting here.
Good morning, Frank. SO happy to see your shining face! Yesterday I sent out a search and rescue mission for you, but said that I suspected sleeping is what you were doing. We always said that sleep was nature’s sweet restorer and lo and behold here you are🤗 God is good🙏💓
Yesterday’s thread was powerful for so many reasons. I hope you’ll review. I am relieved you are on the mend, bless-ed Frank…BetNM!
Good morning, Betsy!
Morning (just) G!!💓 I dropped in early to.check.on Frank, and didn’t see a soul😥. So I slapped on the old war paint and went to my lovely neighbourhood WM to see if their shelves were bare. Fortunately there was everything I need with notable holes. Washing up liquid, as I have called it as they do in Britain, almost nonexistent. I wash all my dishes by hand so that was was essential , and they had one bottle of my brand so phew! Supplements pretty wrecked as was toothpaste. Dairy ok but little butter and cheese. Still I did a double shop of things if I didn’t have I’d be crying. Massive bill at checkout but I’ll call it inflation hedging.
I’m having a cup of tea to regain my composure. I hope your day is proceeding smoothly with no bumps😊. And I hope your lovely bride is back to health (crossed fingers!).
She is getting there slowly but improving.
Yesterday I was back at HEB, the meat and chicken well stocked up but the prices. Chicken tenders 4.79 lb. Walmart a few days ago 2.98 lb. And I hate shopping at Walmart.
Back in Fbg working out. Got to keep in shape to defeat the globocommies.💪
I do not like the big WM, but our smaller neighbourhood one is great. Food and household products only but that’s all I need. Their staff are super friendly and I made it a point to become friends with them all. The way it was for us abroad. As an aside, in our small town there we had 2 butchers, 2 bakers, and one actual candlestick maker, just like the nursery rhyme😊 And we knew absolutely everybody and their families on a first name basis. It was a town that wrapped its arms around you. We’re too big for that here, but I tried to create that atmosphere where I shopped the most, a smaller outlet. So I love going in to chat as well as shop.
I’m glad she’s on the mend, G🙏. I think it’s a lot harder to do when were older. I’m very glad you’re around to look after her, as I’m sure she is as well.
Keep up your workouts. We’ve got a lot of work to do on the tyrant front. They’re getting cockier and bolder.
The tyrants got another thing coming.
Goodaye Frank, I’ll try to send a warm breeze your way, it’s been 35c here, I’m sure if I ask the big fella he’ll send some your way.
Take care.
Good morning, Frank. Glad to hear you are on the mend. God bless.
Good morning, LS!
Morning, LS💓…praying your day is just wonderful😊
Good morning, Frank, may God grant you a healing rest. Blessings!
Good to see you pop back in again frank…keep resting.
Good almost afternoon (here anyway), Slowcobra! Sending blessings your direction😊.
Hi betsy!! Thank you for the blessings!
Mungrel’s Granny’s solace chapter two – the sting.
War it was, there was no work at this time and being as devastated as I was Granny insisted I stay with her, we had no contact with son of mungrel. We shed tears .
The loss of son of mungrel was the cause not the ex.
What to do? I wanted revenge in the harshest of ways, Granny talked me down, being a man I was determined to find out who the “other bloke” was, granny agreed , so of I went, didn’t take long, I had a name but no face, no place, it must be mentioned at this stage the people I knew all told me to “Leave it alone”, a warning of sorts (except for two real mates) well then I learnt that the cops were gunning for me ! Back at Granny’s we couldn’t figure out why as I had no warrants, nothing! Think,think, think.
As the pigs were on my case and visited acquaintances of let’s say unsavoury character my name was “blacklisted” on the streets.
At this stage it was Granny and I against the world.
My best mate to this day and son of mungrels Godfather became “cockatoo”. I got a place with the face, Granny begged me not to go to no avail.
The scene was a biker BBQ, I drove my car across the driveway, got out the door and walked in.
Son of mungrel ran to me and wrapped his arms around my legs in joy, then asked me why I was crying, my tears were pure hatred and anger, if my aura could be seen it was hotter than hell, two scumbags approached me but soon departed when they seen and felt my anger, all walked out, I went for the main man , he walked backwards as I walked forward until he was in a corner, at that moment young mungrel yelled at me ” don’t kill him dad”.
It would be years later that I learnt Granny had taught him murder was a sin.
I took the boy.
Pigs raided Granny’s.
Court orders, 12 chargers, and the whole hamburger ensured.
What to do ?
Well after another rosary bead wareout Granny came through, walking into the local courthouse two days later and granted an emergency must see son of mungrel order.
She was so wild she parked her immaculate condition S model Valiant in the judges parking spot ha ha !
Well the three of us were together again, I had to break young mungrel to the truth of life, no birds and bees bullshit, Granny rode shotgun coming and going without interfearing.
Son of mungrel handled thing pretty well, even informing me of the enemy plans.
Court the next obstacle, after son of mungrel told us what was being said on the other side and how he threw a 12 inch spanner at his other rich grandfathers head missing by an inch and going through the plaster wall after D*ckface told him his father was an arsehole Granny and I started the “sting”.
At first we had no plan, a day to day type thing, but the court stuff continued on and on, by this stage we had fortnightly for two days custody of mungrel son, Granny slowly in her own cunning way taught grandson mungrel that a secret made to God is a secret ever kept, she also persistently told him what a good father I was.
After much Granny, mungrel planning we instructed the boy to run away at any point possible and make his way to Granny’s, I would not be there so the pigs would not have anything on me.
Would they charge a little old lady? No, exactly as we planned, we had evidence now.
I discovered that Mr scumbag had not long been released from prison but not just any prison, the most notorious prison for the mentally insane.
For the first time Granny and I argued , me I should of killed him, her there’s another way, we didn’t talk much for a few days.
The Sting became operational while we both sulked , son of mungrel all of hos own accord told the pigs Her family included, that he was going to dad and didn’t give a F*ck what anybody else thought.
Granny and I started plotting once more.
Chapter three is called Saint Chriss as Granny and I took on all the state and fed apparatus for not only son of mungrel but with my sword and her cross we decided to fight for all children.
There’s a movie in here somewhere, M.
I think, reading your descriptive story, that you and your beloved grandmother had Powerful Friends in High Places🙏. I can’t help but believe you still do. What a woman and a force she was. And oh how she loved you! And like Garrison’s story of his father yesterday, you honour her by letting us get to know her through you. Bring on Chapter 3. LBT, dear friend💓
Morning Betsy , I actually was in past times going to write the whole story down, I even started but got side tracked, the ending in one way is beautifully sad.
I have been in the wars here on the Aussie post and am holding myself back , trolls, many are feeding it !
But anyway tis late here and early there, my morning to you is true.
Hope the tomahawk is sharp, and keep the woomera close, things seem to be a bit messy around here of late.
I read your daughter in law posts and I think you’ve done the best you can, take this as its ment,
A complement.
As always you know the rest.
Cheers.
I do, dear sir. Hard part is watching and outside of forwarding info which is useful after collecting it anticipation of exactly what is happening now, I can do no more than fume and worry, and pray. A mother’s lot, I’m afraid.
I’m acutely aware there are millions in the same boat. It’s terrorism pure and simple…”We’re not forcing you, just taking everything until you submit. ” Evil in human form.
I do know the rest, and as always back at you💓
(I know you miss your grandmother, but I believe in truth she has not left you…just out of your sight.)
Every life lived to its fullest has at least one untold story aching to be heard.
Oh so right, VB. I relish those stories, no matter what type they are if the teller wants to share them. We do all have them. I’ve shared a few jollier ones of my own, the rest are stored in a back room somewhere collecting dust.
In the end I find others so much more interesting than myself and to be entrusted with their life’s experiences is a real gift… and a priceless connection.
You put it so much better than I could.
Thanks, son. Riveting story, can’t wait for the next chapter of Granny and Mungrel.
Be blessed!
Mungrel, so I can put conversations into context, approx what age is son of mungrel in this particular chapter (ch. 2, the sting)
Blessings to you, as usual!
Of coarse, he was 10 just turned.
Sundance, I don’t know if this has reached you yet, but I think it is a major story. DC just took a big step toward becoming Australia concerning COVID restrictions. Mayor Bowser has issued an order, effective Saturday January 15, REQUIRING EVERYONE TO SHOW ID AND PROOF OF VACCINATION TO ENTER NEARLY ALL INDOOR ESTABLISHMENTS. Here is the link:
https://coronavirus.dc.gov/vaxdc
Totally fascist, totally unconstitutional, totally un-American, totally unjustified by science or facts.
Best, ChoirboyDC
AND … do these same DC residents have to show this picture ID to vote???
No. Voting booths are exempt 😝

The dark clouds of tyranny are gathering very quickly now.
Mornin’ infidels!
😂 Mornin’ WeeWeed!
I always thought of Obama as being a strong case of B.O.
Agree boogywstew, and I referred to him as that whenever I had the displeasure of referring to him.
I also flushed his photo when I had the usa today in my hotel room (traveled a lot during b.o. term). Tore it in tiny million pieces to take out frustration, then flushed.
Well, FDR.
But our Dad didn’t call him by his name nor his initials. 🙊
thank you, Ms Idaho. Great idea to post this every day, and with Old Glory, too!
Well, I had to have a way to face the flag while saying the pledge.
Do you think this will work OK?
Yes, nice addition ms idaho!
👍
Excellent post to repeat daily!
Food for thought. The world needs a sense of community.

Good morning, Treepers. It’s another beautiful day above the grass. Thank you, dear Lord.
Quip O’Day – January 12, 2022
Be happy while you’re living, for you’re a long time dead. — Scottish Proverb
I wonder if any representative of the Roman Catholic Church has ex communicated Gov Murphy?
As far as I know, there has been silence from the church. At least so far.
what a scum. Even the photo shows his smirky evil smile.
Betsy,
I was wondering: when you lived in Wales, did you ever visit Pembrokeshire? I have ancestry going back to there and am sorry I never got to visit it.
Blessings.
Any word about “Peoria Jones’s” Kitty Cat?
This thread has a much smaller (and less vocal ) audience than the political thread, so I’m asking you first. I am not going into detail so bear with me.
Hypothetical (not) question: If you wrote Bill Clinton off, when all was revealed about serious lapses in judgement regarding an intern, would one “write a person off” even if you had respected that persons professional contributions, after finding out about behavior you found troubling?
Leenie, I had written him off long before Monica.
But on the hypothetical side it will depend if the person is truly remorseful. I’ve needed grace plenty of times. But I never saw any remorse in the likes of BJ Clinton or Lying Ted, or so many others.
Blessings
I guess a lot depends on the particular behavior in question…
Did the person ever admit the behavior was wrong and repent / change their behavior?
PS – I had written off BJ Clinton because of his sordid background, excess dark/shadowy people & incidents, surrounding both him and Hillary, and advocacy for liberal policies, so thats not a good analogy for me. Donald Trump’s history of womanizing / 3 wives (with relationship overlaps) made me think twice about supporting him in the beginning. But then I’m reminded that God has always chosen imperfect (sometimes FAR from perfect) men through which to execute His Plan (i.e., Jonah, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Paul…the list is long..).
The Monty Python crew discussed “trans” issues some 40 years ago.
This is entirely—and uncomfortably so–too close to home!
Garrison, as usual. You cut to the quick!
ICYMI…

OK, Treepers, urgent prayers needed. My buddy Dale’s oldest son is in the hospital with failing heart, kidneys, lungs, etc. They’re waiting for his mother, brothers and a sister to get there this afternoon before they turn him off. DJ is 46 years old.
Praying for a miracle or if it’s his time for grace, peace and comfort.
Lord, have mercy.
🙏 🙏 🙏 ~ Dear Heavenly Father, please pour the Blood of the Lamb across his spirit and revive him for a witness and testimony that YOU are still real…and involved in the lives that trust in you! Amen!
Oh, grandpa!!!! Nothing I can do to help but lift him and his family up in prayer…God’s will be done! My prayers for you as well! Very sad right now!
Thank You Jon McNaughton for permission to use his drawing. Can’t wait until tomorrow to test it out
You are hitting them out of the park today, ms idaho!
I wanted to use this pix – but figured I needed to ask permission first. Glad you approve
Rush Limbaugh’s birthday
January 12, 1951
The episode when he read Angelo Codevilla’s excellent essay made a lasting impression on me.
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. And Lord please help the political prisoners of January 6.
Amen.
What in the world?
Lol
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
