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 †

Greetings Beloved Treepers!
My God is God.
Howdy Frank, an Aussies point of view,
My relationship with my God is nobody’s freaking business !
Dark glasses Frank !
Salty experience only 100 mile out on trawlers !
Scallops one, prawns the other .
When the end of a cyclone we were caught in I’m surprised still to this day how my intestines remain in my guts !
The skipper was waving a shotgun around as we pulled (winch) the last net in , a great white dropped out of the net, Mungrel jumped and nearly ended up in the drink !
Skipper was casual as , blowin a hole gob shot !
It was only a littlen about six feet, beautiful eating if you like fish, we call it “flake” .
I have only one relative served Navy, a merchant marine as was called back in the day, his history was important to me as most of my mob were ground.
No sea legs for me !!!!!
The Australian merchant marines in WWII were absolutely essential. Still are! Brave souls all.
I’m sure your sea sickness was entirely unrelated to the previous evenings activities. 😎
You are correct, I got ” changhided” at 1am the first time, the barmade set me up big-time, truth is she really wanted to know if I was full of shit or not !
Free drinks for me for six months !
I really sometimes think I should give stayed with here but young mungrel wanted to to “keep on truckin” !
Good morning, son! Interesting sea story. And yeah, only God knows our heart.
For man judges by outward appearances but the Lord judges the heart.
Good post by LBT, she’s a wise one.
Being an American, I was indoctrinated by a false superficial judging of others by appearance. And I am ashamed of that.
When I moved to Wales, I came to a new and joyous state of mind. Their wonderful philosophy… take me as you find me…became my enduring philosophy. I no longer saw the physical appearances of those I met. I came to know their hearts, those who wore the faces which God gave them.
And I came to despise judgements made on looks, learning that such was no way to understand or see someone else.
I tell my grandchildren that I have known many physically pleasing people who became unattractive once they showed themselves, if I may put it like that. Likewise, I know many many more “plain”, ordinary folk who were, in fact, astoundingly beautiful because of their personalities and goodness. But in the end, on what perch do I, as plain as they come, sit to pass an opinion on any other of God’s creations because of His designs for them?
So I do not. Others are, as I am, created in His image. I was fortunate to be able to unlearn what I grew up thinking. I am so much happier for it and have so many dear, loving friends as the result. Bless you, G.
Well said Betsy!
The locals where I live now have a defense mechanism. They purposely leave the exterior of their establishments in need of repair. Displeasing to the eye. Told me it’s to keep the tourists out and it works. it’s like garlic to a vampire! 😂
We have abandoned civility and decorum in all things, Cat. And self respect, both individually and communally. Your example is proof positive of that. Sad, sad.
FC, what part of the country are you in? I’m sure that you’ve mentioned it but memory fails me.
You can give the locals there a free device from Grandpa. An old refrigerator and a toilet on the front porch also work great to keep the tourists away. 🚽😂
Your memory is fine grandpa. Never mentioned it. For survival purposes gotta keep that vague. Ne part is the best I can do.
Got a free college degree on all habits, tactics, and the inner workings of a “progressive” mind, compliments of a few academic types who love to talk about themselves and try to educate the uneducated . Haven’t been stung yet.😉
It has made retired life most enjoyable. And I occasionally see a toilet as a planter and a few refrigerators as lawn decorations. They do weed whack around them. Or perhaps they’re using round up 😉
Stay warm and cozy today grandpa. Keep those digits nimble by practicing on your guitar 😘
No practice today. Been having the little guy all afternoon and will hand him back tomorrow after church. Have a blessed night. ❤️
Well then! 🕶 Grace to you, mon!
Good morning, Mungrel!💓
Your relationship with God is the most personal relationship you have. As mine is. As it is for all believing Christians.
I was under the impression, here at least, that religious tests are verboten. Yet for all who “apply” for exemptions for the injection must government dictate sit a religious test, and be judged by mortal men most of whom seem to have no knowledge of Him or His redeeming grace. And most who must prove to such an earthly “authority” the sincerity and depth of their beliefs are denied it seems.
Jesus told us we would be persecuted in His name. And so we are. It is a position from which I will not be moved.
He has graciously walked with me and those I love throughout this life, even when I shamefully ignored Him. A prodigal daughter am I. He is my Father. Glory be to God on High and to His Son, and to the Holy Spirit. May he keep you under His watchful protection, M. B🙏
Judge not, lest ye be so judged. They should be terrified!
Good bless-ed morning to all my beloved Treehouse friends.
Daybreak
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
A wind came out of the sea
And said, “O mists, make room for me.”
It hailed the ships, and cried, “Sail on,
Ye mariners, the night is gone.”
And hurried landward far away.
Crying, “Awake! it is the day.”
It said unto the forest, “Shout!
Hang all your leafy banners out!”
It touched the wood-bird’s
folded wing,
And said, “O bird, awake and sing.”
And o’er the farms, “O chanticleer,
Your clarion blow, the day is near.”
It whispered to the fields of corn,
“Bow down, and hail the coming morn.”
It shouted through the belfry tower,
“Awake, O bell! proclaim the hour.”
It crossed the churchyard with a sigh,
And said, “Not yet, in quiet lie.”
And mine, Frank🙏
Yes.
And if our is God is God, it begs Schaeffers’s question:
“How shall we then live?”
Jude 24, 25. ESV
Nice poem sis. 🙌
We do the best we humanly can, Frank. Forever stumbling, but by His infinite grace, mercy, and love for us we are picked up and dusted off…and we walk on with His Light before us, guiding the way.💓
My oh my, do I ever get that!
His graces condescend mighty low!
Yes sir…they do, they really do. And I thank Him.
Good morning, Frank! I’m so thankful for grace and loving kindness. Blessed be His Holy Name!
Good afternoon!
If it ain’t by grace through faith alone, I ain’t gettin home.
As far as I look? I often say I’m saving up for a haircut.
👍
Good morning, Betsy! I call this getting worked on by the Father as He turns us into shining diamonds 💎.
Sonnys on a roll pop , sure you’ll understand.
😁
Love it grandpa ❤️
Feels like he’s “scrubbing” my ears reaaal good. 😊
Good Morning! ☀️
They are getting so shiny, I need Frank’s sunglasses 😎❤️.
Good morning, GrandpaM😊. It takes time and a lot of chisel work, so to speak speak, to uncover that shining diamond. Thank God for his unending patience.
Amen, sister! ❤️
Perfect. As the day is yet to break here in my corner of the world.
Isn’t it lovely, Mary? I’m so glad you liked it. It makes me wonder how many more poems I am unfamiliar with that are as moving as I found this one. My knowledge of poetry is minimal. I will attempt to rectify that sad lack. Blessings to you.
I know what you mean. I thought Art History was one of my favorite classes and then I read about Art History through the Critical Race Theory lens: https://www.takimag.com/article/master-baiting/
I love taki. I’ll certainly read this. And by the by, look for any article written by Dr Theodore Dalrymple, aka Dr Anthony Daniels, now a retired British psychiatrist who worked in Her Majesty’s Prison System. He is a keen observer of the human condition. His essays appear in a lot of places, including taki’s and City Journal. He is an amazing person, a sensible and erudite man and writer about any number of topics. I think you would appreciate him.
Well well! No sooner do I mention Theodore Dalrymple than I see him referenced in the article you posted. What are the chances? An exceptional article, Mary. We just can’t escape from insertion of modern silliness and outrage into the appreciation of works that couldn’t/wouldn’t be produced today. Just ask the gifted artiste H Biden.
Artiste H. Biden’s opinion is worth almost as much as his paintings to me. Which is zero, zilch, nada, nothing…..
You are a woman of obvious taste and discernment.
Amen!
…amen again.
For every complete life form fossil found, why aren’t there thousands of “transitional” fossils in multiple stages found?

😹, you made me laugh.
💋✝️💋
Good Morning WP!
Mornin’ FC!
Amen!
I heard that the COVID tests were also developed using fetal cell lines, but I can’t verify. Does anyone here have information either way on that?
I don’t think that’s accurate. If you do an internet search (and when doing so, carefully vet the sites you visit and corroborate whatever you read), nothing comes up. I also checked Life Site News and couldn’t find anything. So I think it’s probably reasonable to assume the tests were not developed using fetal cell lines. But, of course, do your own research, as well.
Seems to me James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas had a Pfizer Quality Control whistleblower on video reporting that, but I may be mistaken. I have seen it used as justification for applying for a Religious Belief exemption to the Jab, so the concept is out there, definitely.
Actually, just had a memory bubble pop – it was a series of emails between executives at Pfizer (?) that was leaked that were warning / reminding each other not to let anyone know that the vaccine was developed using fetal cells. The Execs were trying to keep that fact on the Down Low.
Feisty, I think this person is asking about the covid tests, not the vax.
Read your comment after I posted mine.
Same page though !
Most of the research material has been taken down , when I looked into this twenty odd years ago stem cell Dr Frankenstein type research was being used specifically for experiments in regards to human DNA, bonding agents for other molecular structures apparently.
I don’t believe that stem cells are actually in the fake vax, but I do believe that the technology development through stem cell experiments have contributed a lot more to the development of said fake vax and many other human experimental substances.
ALL covid vaxes approved in America were tested using fetal cell derived cell lines. Many such lines were derived from pre Roe v Wade abortions.
J&J vax is also manufactured using one such cell line. So, it may contain some contents from human cells separate from the things they grew in those human cells.
This is different than embryonic stem cells. Most of the cell lines are from tissues that require development in womb.
I agree that scientists wanted to play with embryonic cells, but needed cloning laws changed to do so. Changed definition of cloning and put on morality play with people they could ‘cure’. Still waiting for any such ‘cure’. As you say, it has been decades. Lots of adult stem cell treatments available. Embryonic?
I don’t know what knowledge has been learned by this play, or if it has a role in covid vaccines.
Like trying to find an original yeast cell in your Sourdough starter, these cell lines, derived from aborted babies, probably aren’t cells from the original corpse. This is a very important detail for all the fact checkers because they can say that they aren’t aborted cells. But like a sourdough yeast is still yeast, even if it isn’t the original yeast, these cell lines are still human, taken from an aborted human and copied repeatedly.
Seriously, what would be the point in obtaining fetal human kidney cells or fetal human lung cells if they stopped being human cells once you got them to grow and multiply? Why use fetal cells at all, if you could do the same with donated organs?
I also haven’t researched all the other vaccines available around the world, so I can’t speak to the vaccines in Australia. But the use of these cell lines has been discussed a lot over here.
These kind of people don’t need any stinking cloning laws changed. They’ll simply outsource it to Wuhu in China. See how that works?
But not before we put our fingerprints all over it. See Fauci’s vile handiwork in North Carolina and in Galveston.
If we knew a fraction of the types of experimentation that has gone on, Mungrel, I believe deeply none of us here could bear it. Once seen, never forgotten. Evil so great and abhorrent it’s a wonder God hasn’t given up on us altogether.
If I posted what I know you and most others here would be physically and psychologically sick !
That’s all I’ll say .
I know more than I want to. I’m sorry you are in the same boat, Mungrel. Not good.
Search for HEK-293 and vaxes. There is plenty of reliable information out there which indicates that it was used in the production of these beastly jabs. How it was obtained is too horrific to explain here’s but there are myriad reliable articles which explain in detail.
As regards fetal cell lines used or not in the tests, my view regardless is that so many lies have been told, so much information twisted and hidden… who knows what the facts are? Any trust I foolishly gave to people and institutions which are culpable for so many deaths and lives forever ruined is nonexistent. If any of them say black, I will say white. I believe them no more.
I’m right there with you on that!
Thank you for all the responses so far!
I apologize for not being clear enough in my initial post. I am aware of and disgusted with the use of aborted fetal cells (precious little souls murdered for gain) in vaccines. A friend forwarded an email from MedicalFreedomMN claiming that, in their opinion, “all roads for Vault Health testing lead back to… HEK 293 for developing and testing Covid19 with molecular diagnostic testing (PCR). This testing model is used by CDC and state department of health laboratories.” Their email gave permission to share, desiring to prompt people to “dig into where our tax dollars are being spent.”
After trying to independently research and verify the information via several different channels I was coming up empty. So I reached out to my fellow Treepers to see if anyone on a different branch could see something I couldn’t. I’m looking for anyone that has definite knowledge of fetal cell use in developing the tests.
Again, I appreciate each and every one who is taking the time to respond!
Enough said . . . 🙂
Thanks, Garrison… one of the bands that provided the “soundtrack” for our youth.

Garrison, thank you for posting Slow Ride! I have 21 year old triplets – hence Rileytrips. When they were 16 one of my boys had a lead foot when driving, got several speeding tickets, one was 90 in a 65 mph zone. I made him download this song to play while driving. It seemed to help:)
Ahhhhhhh!!! Wonderful to know the construct of your handle💓 Grandmother here of 7 year old triplets from one daughter and a set of 16 year old twin young men from another daughter. Loved your driving story. Ours just got their licenses😲. Waiting for the first infraction.
My husband taught them to pass their test, along with tons of lectures and warnings about many things too numerous to mention.
I say “pass their test” because as he rightly told them they’ll only learn to drive after. We’ve bought each one a St Christopher visor clip medallion. And we entrust their safety to God🙏
One if the fun things I like to do is just take my ear buds out, play your picks and say to my husband, “Who is the band and what is the song?”
He always gets it!!!! makes me laugh!!!
When he correctly guessed the first one i asked, “What is Fog Hat? And How do you know that???”

JOYFUL, JOYFUL, WE ADORE THEE
Shout for joy to God, all the earth!
Sing the glory of his name;
make his praise glorious.
Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!
So great is your power
that your enemies cringe before you.
All the earth bows down to you;
they sing praise to you,
they sing the praises of your name.”[a]
Come and see what God has done,
his awesome deeds for mankind!
He turned the sea into dry land,
they passed through the waters on foot—
come, let us rejoice in him.
He rules forever by his power,
his eyes watch the nations—
let not the rebellious rise up against him.
— Psalm 66:1-7, WEB
The music is, of course, taken from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. The words are by Henry Jackson van Dyke (1852-1933), an American clergyman, author, and educator. The splendid a capella singing is by a prolific and very talented Mennonite group.
The video is missing this verse that is in my hymnal:
3 Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest,
Wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest!
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Fountainhead of love divine,
Joyful, we Thy heav’n inherit! Joyful, we by grace are Thine.
These last lines are also different from those in Mr. Van Dyke’s original. They praise the Holy Trinity, look to Christians’ inheritance in heaven, and express joy that God has made us His own by His grace.

😛
Good Morning all. This last week I did the 4 stop milk run in Ohio twice and then I did the run to the Toyota Service Parts DC in Kansas City, KS. I picked up my back haul for that run down by the river in Kansas City, MO. It was bags of powdered Pizza Dough mix for Casey’s General Store outlets. Nineteen pallets weighing 39,501 lb. total.
In case you haven’t had it, Casey’s pizza is probably the best you will find at a Truck stop or gas station. Pretty darn good really. Far better than that frozen dough card board like pizza you get at most such establishments.
As I foretold, I took my break at the TA (Trans America) truck stop in Oak Grove, KS east of KC. They have a Popeyes Chicken there. I bought a 4-piece platter. Cole Slaw and fries were the sides. It cost a little over $14.00 and I ate every single bit of it, biscuit and all.
I then Transflo’ed the bills. Transflo is an app on my phone where you can take a picture of documents and it turns them into a scanned image. Our trip tickets have a barcode on them that identifies the documents as being transmitted to the company I drive for. So one picture scans the first page of the trip ticket and then picture scans the other documents one wishes to transmit. In this case the document being transmitted was the BOL (Bill of Lading) for the pizza load. After doing the picture scans I one only needs to enter the load number on the screen and then transmit. The service sends you a confirmation number in an e-mail to confirm that the images went through. We do this in this case because the Pizza dough manufacturer only gives the diver one signed copy of the BOL and that is turned over to the receiver at time of delivery.
I had some time to burn so I got a full 10 hours sleep and then still had a couple hours to drink my coffee and eat my two donuts for breakfast. After re-filling a thermos of with coffee, using the facilities at the truck stop, and doing a PTI (Pre-Trip Inspection) on the truck I hit the road. And drove through the night passing through the St. Louis area after 03:00 their time via I-270.
My delivery time at the Casey’s DC in Terre Haute, IN was 07:00 and I arrived at the gate at exactly 07:01. There I dropped the loaded trailer in door 12 and then bobtailed to a parking area where they put the empty trailers and selected on of the two they had from my company and hooked to it and did a PTI. I sat for a time to finish logging a 1/2 hour break. And took off for the yard and home.
This time during this single trip with back haul I had hooked to 4 different trailers. The one loaded I brought to the Toyota DC was dropped. I then hooked to a loaded trailer in the door there and pulled it out and dropped it. I then re-hooked to the trailer I had brought and put it in the empty door and dropped it. Then I hooked to a different trailer that was empty that was parked there and that was what I took to get loaded at the Pizza Dough manufacturer.
This coming week I will leave out of the yard on Sunday and be gone until Friday evening. On Sunday at noon I will leave and I will take a break as close to my first stop as possible in Columbia, MO. Then on Monday I will hit that stop, then another in Mexico, MO, and then another in Hannibal, MO and then finally take that loaded trailer to a Marshall, IL where I will do a relay (exchange trailers) with a driver. Then go back to as close to Columbia, MO as possible to take my break and get ready to do it all again the next day.
I’m exhausted just reading your itinerary! Stay safe, rah🙏
Niiiiiice. Paper or electronic logs?
E-logs for the last 4 years. The only way you can fool them and get away with it is to drive under 5 mph and then it will keep you on a non driving status. Thus during the time I was logged as “on-duty” dropping that trailer at Casey’s and then hooking to an empty, I was also logging a 30 minute break.
👌
Well I just talked to Rex that did this Missouri run last week and he gave me some pointers to save time. And saving time is essential on this run. When things go well one has less than an hour of drive time remaining when they pull into the stop at Columbia to take their break and start again the next day. Sounds like it typically takes a 13 hour duty day to complete the run.
The first time is when a driver has to figure it out and then after that it gets easier unless the weather or some other problem causes delays. Anyway it is one of those runs that if a driver is going to get a shower they will have to do it during their 30 minute break.
To IG Bari,
On said post my numbers were wrong , 80 million should of been 20 million, in my haste after doing the rough sum ( in my head) I wrote down 2 unfortunately my handwriting looked like 8 !
My mistake, the point though still holds true.
On your second comment I would agree nearly 100 %.
I have read your comments for years and have found them as a reflection of yourself very “Stoic” not that that’s a bad thing as I myself like to cut through the “chase”.
Everybody regardless of individual whatever needs to be in this fight, in saying that you “cut em down” pretty quick, an admiratible trait well needed not only on this site but the situation we are all facing.
Cheers.
To Leenie, I already know , mungrel save best till last.
I do not understand what it is like NOT to be in this fight,I must continue here for the time being in my own way.
I know you understand this, stay cool and remember what the doormouse said.
Cheers.
I remember…

Nobody site administrator to my knowledge has posted anything in regards to whether or not posting is good or bad for the situation found ?
Is this true ?
Having been put in the “sin bin” here where the score is me right twice, you right once, at 3 I got two , a full and utter explanation of the above would be a pleasure in my respect.
Feel free to ask !
You know me the bloke that got called a “scumbag” in just a one word response !!!! After all I stated was “this one is just a provocateur” to another poster who was feeding it .
Even prominent posters here chimed in asking to get rid of the scum.
If this is a policy change please let me know as I do not understand the new rules.
I had previously posted about this subject to no avail.
I did not respond to the scumbag that called me a scumbag, I thought that that was the best way to handle the situation ?
I will quote what I posted at that time in essence, ” In Australia if somebody calls you a scumbag that term is considered one down from being a peodophile ”
My point is , is or was this a mistake or have the “rules changed” ?
Looking forward to your reply.
Signed,
Site confusion.
“I did not respond to the scumbag…”
I love you man!
A). I think you handled it well.
B). I know you’re angry. I would be too.
Glad you’re here!
“Don’t Feed the Animals” was written for a very good reason.😉
I so look forward to visiting here…and for a few days this week it was the old CTH, now we’re having another installment of tiresome.
Good morning, Joe😊 .
I don’t know how familiar you are with this thread or the numbers of comments that it usually attracted…not many compared to the other brilliant ones.
One day very recently, I noticed that those numbers started rising at such an exponential rate I could hardly believe it. This one..this beautiful, warm, friendly, welcoming thread…has become as essential to me as breathing. So many wonderful people!💓 A community city free for all, with a wide range of topics, music, and prayer. More and more are discovering how marvelous it is…a sane island in a turbulent world.
It was always going to be the case I think that our Treehouse would be a target by malevolent forces, as has indeed happened. I feel terrible for our host and hostesses. This interruption no doubt is maddening and frustrating for them. They have been working flat out trying to restore sanity and normality. It seems it is not going as quickly or as easily as they would wish.
But we here commenting are family in every sense. And families stick together as I’m sure you agree. This wretched government and the tech companies which support it are doing everything they can to destroy families. They have succeeded in too many tragic ways. This one they will not ruin. Whatever has to be worked around for the moment will not last forever. Count on it!!😉
I love it here also sis.
If you would just start spreading some good will and cheer…

Son, all my posts are awaiting approval, and I think so are everyone else’s. At first I thought that it was because a saltier word that I used in a post. But it looks like an attack from the globos trying to ruin the CTH.
As far as the name calling you made the best choice. Much better not to feed the baiters. You made pop proud again, son.

Comments “Awaiting Approval”
Happy Caturday infidels!
One time years ago I pulled up to a fuel island. Next to me was another truck. As I was fueling and washing the windows I noticed a cat looking at me from the other truck. Next time I looked I saw a small dog looking at me. Finally when I looked the third time before leaving I saw a different cat looking out at me. So that female driver had at least two cats and a dog in there. I’m glad I didn’t have to smell the inside of that cab.
Another time parked in a truck stop to take a break I watched a driver pull 5 Basset Hounds out of his cab and take them for a walk!
During my driving career I have never taken a pet with me. I drive too hard and don’t want to take the time to be taking care of animals. It is quite enough for me to take care of myself!
I hear that! Mornin’ Rah!
Top of the Mornin to you WeeWeed. I already had a meatloaf sandwich for breakfast. Left over from the excellent meal I had last night.
A meatloaf sandwich is the best there is. My mother sent me a recipe long ago called Ronald Reagan Meatloaf. I’ve never used another recipe since. And oh MY!! Delicious hot, even more so cold in a sandwich with Durkee’s dressing on it. Now I want one!
OmG!
Except for the skinny neck, that cat looks like the fool that adopted me!
Mornin’ Frank!
Hat tip!
Gracious good morning, WeeWeed. It has taken me a while to get down this far on this chatty thread. Here’s hoping for all your sakes the light at the end of this tech tunnel is the satisfactory end and not an oncoming train🙏😊
I’m pretty certain your cat’s brother by another mother is the last of the many litters we’ve had to catch, and who lives in our garage…warm and well fed of course.
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.

“For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.”
Romans 10:10 (KJV)
“Jezebel spirts thrive when no one is willing to stand”
IMO, excellent piece on Lew Rockwell’s site. Jezebell, Karen’s and lions. Oh my 😉

I love Rockwell’s site, Cat. Easy to navigate with articles I need to see but often miss.
There was one about how 5G is a health destroyer in terrible ways from yesterday I believe.
Good Morning Betsy!
Must have missed this one. Rockwell’s 5G health destroyer article, most interested in it, but can’t seem to easily locate on site.
Do you remember anything additional to find one you mentioned so I can search for it? Lots on the topic, mostly older articles.
If not, no worries. 😉
Thanks for the 5G alert!
Here you go, Cat. Posted on January 21. If you access his site and scroll to the bottom, there is an arrow which will take you to the previous day’s postings.
“The 5G Rollout: EMF Radiation, Devastating Health Impacts, Social and Economic Implications. Crimes Against Humanity?”
The terrifying answer is yes. Reading this will unnerve you. There seems no escape from the hell which is about to be unleashed.
The story of Jezebel reminds me that sometimes we don’t have to wait until The White Throne Judgement to see His enemies literally trampled to death and eaten by dogs.
Frankly, I find it comforting He saw fit to have her and her legacy found in Scripture.
Great read 💋
Wow! Thank you for sharing this. I will be reading lewrockwell.com!!!
Morning Ya’ll, 🙂
Morning to you, jay. 💓 All blessings to you.

This was always their ultimate destination…always. What shocks me is that until recently their perverted and indescribable evil has been set on a slow roll. Now? Someone has decided to ramp up to supersonic speed. And it seems tech plus governments of all stripes and colours are not only perfectly fine with this. They are the instigators of it. I pray normally passive parents are paying attention. The rest of us have known this for a long time.
Good Morning Dora ☀️
Thanks for all your postings. I love them all.
This particular one seems like a message God would whisper in my ear. Thank you 😊
Everyone!
To the mods… I’ve made numerous posts today and see that you’re still busting your tails trying to approve everyone’s comments. After this, I will only post if I have something of real value to contribute and not just running my mouth (which is most of my posts)… at least until the issue settles down. 😉
I consider this place my happy place, one of the few places where I don’t have to bite my tongue and as such, I probably share too much.
Ad Rem, Menagerie, Wee Wee, Sundance (and anyone else who’s name I missed), thank you for all the hard work that goes into the comments section of the site.
Not just words… I’m sure it takes a lot of your free time to review thousands of comments a day, all day and night long… and we all understand how tricky it is to even ALLOW comments in this political climate.
Thanks again for putting up with all the extra work to bring something of great value to the many people that visit the site. You could just turn off commenting altogether but it really does bring something to the table.
As a complement to the great articles and insight they deliver, the comments section fosters fellowship and togetherness that I have not found anywhere else. And I learn valuable information every single time I visit, credit to Treepers far and wide.
THANK YOU ALL! Have a blessed Caturday. 🙂
ditto on new posting and appreciation for all the mods do, so will only post if something completely different comes up, until the tweaking fixes things.
Do have one question for the mods – when we click the “like” button, does that also require extra attention from your end of things?
No
Amen, amen, AMEN, Mike. So say we all. Family like no other. 😊
Excerpt from Chapter 4 of forthcoming GabbyPress Book: America’s Final Revolution.
Chapter 4. George Mason’s Anti-Federalist Arguments Against Ratification.
See the video about the book: http://www.gabbypress.com
From Chapter 4:
“George Mason, and the other anti-federalists, relied upon this new shared national identity of individual liberty, when they argued against ratification of Madison’s document.
The mistake in judgment of George Mason was that he falsely assumed that the Federalists also shared this cultural value of individual freedom.
There was not, in 1787, any commonly-shared cultural values between George Mason and James Madison, similar in concept to today, when there are no shared cultural value held between Democrat Marxists and natural rights conservatives.
Jefferson’s concept of equal liberty leads to one version of the American Dream of equal economic opportunity. The shared cultural values of economic and political equality are essential for the operation of a democratic republic because the values establish the condition for voluntary allegiance to obey the rule of law.”

It has been a busy 11 months for the MAGAs, getting the facts out to the American people about the 2020 fraudulent elections and the need to overturn the election results and let President Trump return to his rightful position as President of the United States.
How busy? Take a look and wait till the end. MAGA is the guy in the white hat, pants and black glasses.

Denali, Mt. Mickinley, is the highest peak in N. America. And while it’s peak is only a little less than 9,000 ft. lower than Mt. Everest it does not even make the list of the 100 highest peaks on earth.
However, if one starts at the base of it’s largest glacier which starts at sea level and climbs to the summit of Mt. Mickinley they have made the climb with the greatest change in elevation on earth.

Come Fly With Me: I’ve had you up in the air. Now it is time to come down to earth.
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Landing an Airplane
Just how do we get this thing on the ground safely, anyway?
Here’s a description I found in a book featuring the early days of aviation.
If you see a thunderstorm approachig (in those days the weather often moved faster than the airplane) find an open field and land as quickly as possible. Then, shove the stick forward so as to impale the airplane on its propeller lest the wind carry you away. The book had a picture of an airplane that did just that. Well, it didn’t blow away and the pilot was safe.
The student pilot learns a set routine that is used in all normal landings. He enters ‘downwind’, a flight path that is parallel to the runway he will be landing on. Downwind we are 500 ft above ground. As per its label, pilot is flying ‘with the wind’ (downwind). During this time he gets to ‘look over’ the landing area, evaluate other airport traffic, complete a prelanding checklist and get a sense of the winds. This ‘routine’ stands him in good stead no matter the airplane, no matter how familiar (or not) he is with the airport. It also prepares the pilot to make a controlled approach in the event of a no power landing – often called an ’emergency landing’.
These ‘rules’ apply to propeller powered airplanes. As rah has indicated, jets are forced thru the air with thrust. Their no-power descent has the trajectory of a falling rock. That’s what made the Space Shuttle’s return to a specified point on the earth after being in space so breathtaking.
We taught our students to fly past their intended landing spot until it was about 45 degrees behind them, then make a 90 degree turn to ‘crosswind’. Depending on the wind and observed obstructions, this leg often involved a gentle descent.
The pilot makes a last turn to ‘final approach’ and continues to follow an imaginary glide path to a mental ‘x marks the spot’, which is the intended place to set down the wheels. There are a number of ways to adjust the steepness of descent, but we always practiced a version of an approach that assumed we had no engine power. Of course, you could always add power if the situation / landing environment changed.
In small airplanes we line up with the runway centerline, set up a stable rate of descent, gradually lower the flaps and slow to a speed which will allow the very slowest touchdown possible. Inside joke — kiss..kiss……………kiss.
In a ‘tail dragger’ type airplane most pilots land on the front 2 wheels and as the plane slows the tail drifts down. In a trycicle gear we also land on the 2 main wheels and allow the nose wheel to drift down as the plane slows. As with your car, you save the brakes by using them as little as possible.
Every approach and landing is different. Sometimes there is no wind. Sometimes the wind is from the left (or right), sometimes it is gusty or variable. All of which makes for a challenging descent path and touchdown.
In a small airplane the accepted way to compensate for the crosswind is to lower a wing into the wind and land on that wheel until it is safe to put the other wheels down. We use the ailerons to lower the wing and the rudders to keep the airplane aligned with the runway centerline.
Near as I can tell, big commercial planes ‘crab’ or point their noses into the wind, then at the very last moment align with the runway and ‘put ‘er on the ground’. Passengers always notice – especially if there is a lot of wind, and if it is at a great angle to the runway.
We would spend a lot of time doing what are called ‘touch-and-goes’. After touchdown the pilot raised the flaps (if they were down), applied power and took off again. We climbed to a safe altitude, turned crosswind, and climbed to the traffic pattern altitude. I didn’t do a lot of training in airplanes with retractable landing gear, but the pilot had to take care to raise the gear after takeoff (when you were sure you weren’t going to touch down again) and be sure to put the gear down before landing.
This was a very touchy point with pilots flying an amphibious floatplane. For landing on land the wheels had to be DOWN. For landing on water the wheels had to be UP. In case of pilot error in the first situation, the pilot incurred damage to the floats. In case of pilot error in the 2nd case, the seaplane went end over end when the wheels hit the water.
Another one of my assignments was to check out ‘Captain Bob’, a Lear jet pilot who wanted to rent one of our single engine airplanes – a Cessna 172. This particular airplane has what I term ‘barn door’ flaps. Captain Bob lowered the flaps, but did not really slow down for landing. Makes sense, a Lear lands at a much higher airspeed. I kept hinting that we needed to slow down, but, being a mere girl, I was ignored. When we landed with too much speed I feared we would roll up on the fragile nose gear. I reached for the ‘wheel’, pulled it back slightly and voila – we were airborne. Bob became very upset – said it was the most dangerous thing he had ever experienced. Of course, we had plenty of runway left, so as the airplane slowed we made a normal, controlled landing – for that airplane. Needless to say I told my boss if he wanted to rent his airplane to this pilot he had the responsibility of checking him out.
I didn’t say it, but I thought him dangerously incompetent to fly our small single engine airplanes (they were our flight school bread and butter). This harks back to my forever belief. I can teach a monkey to manipulate the controls. The problem: how do you teach a pilot to THINK? Pilots have to be able to adapt their thinking to many changing circumstances when flying. After all, you cannot just ‘pull off the the side of the road’.
With my advanced students (those holding various pilot’s licenses and ratings) we took turns simulating an engine failure (from the traffic pattern), competing to see how close we could come to landing on a predetermined ‘spot’ on the runway, and stop in the shortest distance. Fun competition.
The exception to flying the square pattern around the airport is when being guided by the Air Traffic Controller – flying straight to the airport. We often did this when practicing instrument approaches – simulating poor visibility conditions. We might be guided by a Ground Controller who gave us headings and altitudes, following a glide slope in the sky. Alternately we would follow onboard instrumentation for left and right of course information and adhering to altimeter readings for altitude above ground.
When we did this for practice in good weather conditions the pilot wore a ‘hood’, a device that fit over the head and blocked everything except the flight instruments. The really fun part was when we took the hood off, the pilot looked up and the runway was RIGHT THERE. He had to react quickly to get everything set for a safe landing. Ha Ha. You do understand that under these simulated Instrument Flight conditions, one of us could see, right?
Seaplanes
Landing a seaplane also has some interesting challenges. A stretch of calm smooth water, especially with an absence of a nearby horizon, makes it nearly impossible to judge the airplane’s height above the water. What you do is set up as slow a controlled descent as possible and WAIT. That is very hard to do because many pilots think they are close and flinch. They pull back on the wheel, stall the airplane, and again, end up going end over end and sinking the airplane (and passengers) in the water.
Of course, every ‘flying machine’ has its own way of landing. It is said that any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. However, It is not considered good form to get down on your knees and kiss the ground.
Hope you enjoyed your flight 🙂
