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 †

It’s Sunday. No need to worry. The only thing working in the dentist’s office is the answering machine.
A word from another viewpoint – my Dentist and her assistant went into the office on a Sunday emergency when my temporary work (waiting on some lab work to come back) popped loose, and gently took care of that and quashed my pain. They were a great help.
I can’t count the number of weekend dental emergencies I’ve had. Lots of different dentists in lots of different states.
Either you are very lucky, or I am a very bad chooser of Dentists.
God Bless America , 🙂
Good morning Jay!
Wonderful selections. First one- I had the name mixed up yesterday and you still knew what I meant 😝
Second one- gotta stop cutting onions so early. 😉
Third and fourth rounded it up so uplifting and perfect!🥰
May your day be filled with all the Lord’s blessings ❤️
Praising my savoir all the day long! 🙂
Splendid! 🙂
Good Morning WP!
Beautiful WP. Simply Devine ❤️ Thanks
Good morning, FC. Have a blessed Sunday! ❤️
Good morning grandpa and mrs grandpa! Hope you both have a blessed and restful Sunday. 🥰
He Shall Never See Death-
Yes, I would agree. I realized a while back that I have no fear of death. In this way, I do not see death as part of what I am or something on which I dwell for even a moment.
What I do think about is the process of death and that is quite different. That includes a lot of things including preparing financially, considering legal aspects to make things easier for those that I leave behind and cleaning up messes so someone else does not have to. There are also the aspects of whether it will be a lingering, or painful or very costly. I will honestly say that I have a fear of the process of death. It is a healthy fear that requires action now while I can still do those things.
Most of us that are secure in our eternal destiny do not see death, but we nearly all see that process that leads to our physical death. We can fear one without fearing the other.
For people without a comfort of their eternal state, they fear both. It is the terror that was seen in the eyes behind the masks. They fear for now and they fear the forever. That is a terrible state in which to be.
Yep, Vibe you summed it up perfectly for me…the process = prep and cleaning up (+ making sure my ‘chillins’ meet Him and me someday.) I’m glad He has given me some time, so far.
Have a beautiful Sunday.
Might have added a technical note…
This study, and nearly every English Bible, leaves off the significant last three Greek words of verse 51:
“…he shall absolutely not behold (θεωρήσῃ) death unto the age (εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα).”
In v. 52, the Jews misquote the Lord by saying “not taste (γεύσηται) death,” but did correctly repeat His words “unto the age.”
Perhaps even fuller understanding lies there.
Good to know. It makes more sense. Thank you.
your post gave me a thought
Many of us believe in and look forward to eternal life in Christ (or Heaven, or whatever you believe)
.
I got to wondering about death.
What if there is no hell – just death.
Hmm – is that an appropriate thought for the first Sunday of Lent?
Permanent, Final, No Hope for Redemption – just death
In that case, there would be no reason to fear death. However, that possibility does not provide the joyful anticipation that Christians have.
Depends on how you view an afterlife, doesn’t it?
If you believe in reincarnation?
Or if you believe there will be 7 virgins waiting for you?
Or if you believe you will live forever doing and spreading evil?
Why do so many fear death is the real question.
Why the ads – ‘A chance to live longer’?
Why was the Covid scare so successful – take our jab or you will DIE!!!!
Seems to me if you believe you will die with the chance of going to Heaven you will have no fear of death. Not so sure the opposite is true.
Just me noodling. Can’t be proven without dying
Thanks W_P!
You’re welcome GM.
Have a blessed Sunday, Treepers. Always know that Our Lord is watching over us. We re in parlous times, pray for the Ukrainian people who are fighting against terrible tyranny. The intent of Putin and the Russian government to erase the state of Ukraine is a perfect example of how totalitarianism destroys freedom and liberty. This must stop. Pray for peace. Pray for liberty and freedom—which cannot exist under totalitarianism.
One more. This is an old favorite . . .
Addendum. There is no Moral Equivalent between Russia, Prutin, and the Ukranian people. None.
Good morning Garrison!
This ensemble of music is oh so…..perfect ❤️ 😊 thanks!
Hiya, Cat! 🙂
Just realized I forgot to post this . . . Duuhh.
🥰
Bunnys fighting
I only see this in spring/summer. Was the most enjoyable 15 minutes.
I thought they were doing a bunny dance. 😂
Acting like humans?
Not as silly as what it looks, who here can guess why ?
Seat Belt Laws?
Using a flatbed gets around the laws that require tarps for loaded dump trucks?
The truck is owned by a windshield repair company?
Well, I’m out of gas. But please wait some more before telling us. I am hoping for more silly laughs.
Like the windshield repair one !
I give….why?
Something under the dirt needing to be cushioned or protected?
If it were me, I might do this if I had bags of mortar, or blocks or something under the sand. (That appears to be wet sand and not dirt.) When I dumped the sand the load would stay. That strap is pulled really tight and there has to be something other than the pile resisting it. I would use more straps. You can never have too many straps.
To keep the bodies from flying off the flat bed? 😜
Smuggling alcohol into dry community’s , once got $600 for a $70 box of beer 😝 !
🤣
A : short tray on truck, no steps or ladder, position of tie-down over wheel.
Step on tyre, grab tie-down, pull yourself up onto tray.
Then shovel !
Aussie ingenuity !
No tarp, illegal in the states.
Is illegal here too, except in the “outback”, nobody give a sh*t there !
What about Alaska and Hawaii? they will gain most and least respectively.
Hey Jim, great comments on mp1.
How did we gain more daylight? Did con-gress manage to change God’s laws of nature? 😁
No – the earth moved relative to the sun with its axis a-tilt
Love Love Love more sunshine each day
daylight savings time – not so much
Thanks ms idaho for setting me straight. I was thinking DST.
Now THAT’s funny!

ON THIS DAY in MISSIONARY HISTORY – March 6, 1901
Amy Carmichael, Missionary to India, rescued and sheltered her first temple run-away, a young girl who had been dedicated to Hindu gods and forced into prostitution to earn money for the priests. Technically this made Amy Carmichael a kidnapper. For the next many years, she rescued many other children, often at the cost of extreme exhaustion and personal danger.
O LORD, THROUGHOUT THESE FORTY DAYS
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”
The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want. If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”
Jesus answered him, “Get behind me Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”
He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here, for it is written,
‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;’ and,
‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’”
Jesus answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.
Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.
— Luke 4: 1-13, WEB
Words for the hymn are displayed in the video.
This Lenten season, I’ll try to post hymns more often.
A blessed season to you all, looking to the joy of Christ’s resurrection and, in time to come, of our own.

March 6 Oswald Chambers
Amid A Crowd Of Paltry Things
It takes Almighty grace to take the next step when there is no vision and no spectator – the next step in devotion, the next step in your study, in your reading, in your kitchen; the next step in your duty, when there is no vision from God, no enthusiasm and no spectator. It takes far more of the grace of God, far more conscious drawing upon God to take that step, than it does to preach the Gospel.
Every Christian has to partake of what was the essence of the Incarnation, he must bring the thing down into flesh-and-blood actualities and work it out through the finger-tips. We flag when there is no vision, no uplift, but just the common round, the trivial task. The thing that tells in the long run for God and for men is the steady persevering work in the unseen, and the only way to keep the life uncrushed is to live looking to God. Ask God to keep the eyes of your spirit open to the Risen Christ, and it will be impossible for drudgery to damp you. Continually get away from pettiness and paltriness of mind and thought out into the thirteenth chapter of St. John’s Gospel.
Wisdom from Oswald Chambers
Jesus Christ is always unyielding to my claim to my right to myself. The one essential element in all our Lord’s teaching about discipleship is abandon, no calculation, no trace of self-interest. Disciples Indeed, 395 L
Greetings Treepers!
Grace to you…each of you! ✝️
Grace back at you, Frank!
Lost power last night in a thunderstorm. Third time this year. I have yet to get the standby generator since my illness because of money and the fact that they are very hard to find these days. I have been researching it though and know it will take a 20 KVW unit to run everything.
We lose power a lot because we are almost at the end of a line in the area of the Utility that supplies us and services our lines and because our powerlines, and cable, run through a lot of trees a places. The very end of the line is just 1/2 mile south of my house.
But no trees or other damage apparent as I check outside the house though I think there has to be some a few houses south of me somewhere because I heard a loud crack down that way during the night.
My house is on the line going to one of the local Emergency Broadcast Radio towers. This line is near the top of the list for the restoration of power in an outage. During our last major ice storm, parts of the town were out for 10 days. We had ours restored in less than 12 hours. We did not build here for that benefit, but we will certainly be thankful that we have it.
same happens if you live in a zone near a hospital, says my sister who always regains power almost immediately…
Good morning CTH. I hope you all rested last night as well as our dog!!
Unbelievable. Our two dogs won’t even open their eyes to acknowledge me when I get up at 5:00 to go to work. They both sleep on our bed, and you know, it would be kind of nice to at least have them jump down and say bye while you go off to work.
And yet we love them.

Nope! I was on tornado watch for a time. Geisha the Cocker hates storms and followed me everywhere. She is now sacked out sawing logs. It was a tough night for her. Now I’m going to lay back down and do the same for a few hours.
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.

Anyone see Betsy on another thread today? Out of character for her to not stop by here. Not worried yet as I think she had a busy weekend planned 😉
Most likely busy with church and maybe grandchilruns.
Wow 🤩 🎶 🎻
One more, completely different. Could be a kin of mine. 😉
When I write to my congresscritters (Cornyn, Cruz, Crenshaw) I always include a reference that we need to:
And talk about:
However I don’t use Trump’s name – that would cause the Beltway-Critter staffer that reads the email, letter, to ignore it and throw it away.
I simply say, “we need the wise leadership and wise policies we had from 2017 to 2020” … it is all facts and hard numbers truth they cannot deny.
They know who was leading from 2017 to 2020 lol !!!
Quip O’Day – Sunday March 6, 2022
The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives.
Ron DeSantis announes that Dr. Fauci is in WITNESS PROTECTION, video……https://www.henrymakow.com/2022/03/headlines-for-march-6-2022.html?_ga=2.173309795.1118142116.1646345765-1749848259.1622588010
I think that was tongue in cheek cause Fauxci suddenly disappeared. I’m guessing because I fired Directv 2 years ago.
I found this:
The NIAID’s Dr Fauci In The News section of the website, which touts their director’s latest hits, has not posted a new appearance since Feb. 17.
That is a long time for his ego to be out of the limelight, is it not?

I’m parked in a gravel lot at the Walmart in Peru, IL. It’s only 1/2 mile from the first of the three stops.
Dinner was a Subway club, 12” on wheat.
Now the really great news. Little Ivy is not only going to make it but the docs at the Payton Manning hospital believe that all her issues will resolve themselves in time.
All her tests have come out great. Her little eyes bulge a bit and her right one is cloudy and looks horrible but the optometrist says some drops should take care of that.
The best sign is that her eyes are now working together.
Thank you all so much for all your prayers. And I have already said mine thanking the Lord.
Wonderful news, Rah!
Glory to God!
Hallelujah!
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
