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 †

Happy Caturday, all … let sleeping cats lie
I love this picture, which I’ve seen wth different aspects. What we can’t see clearly in this one but which is clearly visible in others is a small cat settled not far from the bottom of this artist’s ladder. A nice touch to an amazing work of art.
Thanks. I looked up after todays storm passed and saw the most whispy delecate clouds against a clearing sky … and thought ‘ only GOD can paint this picture ‘
I enjoy my walks and looking at all the wild flowers and trees. The shapes, textures, colors, variety and perfection of it all is truly God’s masterpiece.
Good morning OS and SH, indeed, we are surrounded by blessings and only need notice them. I feel for those whose eyes remain shut tight.
Have a wonderful day. Cheers!
Good morning, Levi. Here am I, late for church again. Blessings indeed. Some already delivered, others yet to come. I am thankful for them all. Even and especially the seemingly smallest.🙏
Good morning Betsy. I am of the same persuasion, just noticing the small blessings are the springboard of day to day gratitude and happiness.
Have a wonderfully blessed day. Cheers!
Good morning Betsy and Levi! I am even later for church.
Good morning, G💖 Big big smile from me on that one. I just suspected you were outside guarding. I hope your weekend is a respite fact on all your running around to places far and near. Hoping also the leg is 100%. (crossed fingers).😘
LOL! Had to do a quick drive to San Antonio to drop off the loaner and pick up my SIL’s vehicle from some minor repairs. Should have waited yesterday while I was in town but didn’t have the exact time and since we had the 40 days from my stepdad passing memorial yesterday didn’t want to be late. Of course, once I got out of town I got the call from the dealership but decided to go back today.
Just finished enjoying President Trump’s rally and was able to watch last night’s speech to the NRA. So it was a twofer.
Good morning, old school. Someone somewhere has managed to take a picture of a single cell and its contents. That it could be done at all is beyond my ken to imagine.
But this single cell is full of wonders…different shapes, colours, all working together. Who could construct this but God? Multiply this single cell times an unfathomable number unknown to any man. Well…it hasn’t hit those evil men in the world who deny Him while considering themselves gods that they are less than specks in the universe He has created. Glory to God in the Highest!
Funny you mention the cellular view. I was introduced to that complexity when doing oncology clinical trials. Inside that cell is a network of other units that eat, convert, duplicate, regenerate and for each of those, more components. It hurt my brain! What I came to realize is the cell is like the universe. Man can not and likely will never get to the end.
Hubby, a simple man, compares it to the Indian Maiden on the Land O Lakes box. Of course that is prior to the woke who nixed the squaw.
Perfect way to describe what was clearly shown…a universe entirely within the walls of that cell. And one which the ineffable, grotesque malformations such as Gates are trying to reconstruct. A perfectly formed building block they think they can “improve” upon, such is their megalomania.
I have to laugh not at your husband, but of your loving description of him. I’m a big fan of simple. I like him already🤗
😊
We on this earth do not look up enough.
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
some cover songs.
Thanks Jay 1776, most enjoyable!

Good morning Mr jay🤗 Enjoy your weekend, good sir!
Morgen Betsy, 🙂
Danke, Herr jay😉
The Circle Song
So relaxing. Thx, lindak.
It’s Caterday, Treepers. This is a special day for us to celebrate our collecdtive love of kitties . . . our own and all the other kitties that heed a little appreciation and love. Pet your kitties for me!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Good morning, Garrison💖.
We’ve seen our fair share of kitties, most from ferals. Quite the job to corral and get them to the place where they will be adopted into loving homes…especially with protective mama hissing and ready to attack.
A sign outside a veterinarian’s practice…
“Dog prepare you for babies
Cats prepare you for teenagers”
Pretty accurate, I’d say.
Good morning Garrison! We love and enjoy all 3 cats but the black one has the sweetest personality. Sweet Pea will come running to me when I call her no matter how busy she is. She’s also the one expecting me to pick her up and carry her to her food bowl when it’s mealtime. I guess she’s got my number, I always oblige.
W had one like that, G. My husband found her in the bus depot in the tiny Welsh hamlet where he was working on seeing the coaches were fit and road worth. She was only small and covered in diesel. But of course he brought her home. She rode in the car on his shoulder. She knew she was in good hands, our first but not last moggie by any means.
And yes!! As PT Barnum said there’s a sucker born every minute. Sweet Pea has you trained well. I’m sure you’d have it no other way. Gaining the trust of a cat is a prize worth having.😉
In honor of sweet pea and caturday. I present sweet pea 🎶
😘
Good evening Cat!Sounds like Sweet Pea. She won’t dance but walks with me when I feed the deer and has a few bites of deer corn, go figure. Heart emoji (my emojis are not cooperating tonight.
Hi, Betsy! Hi, GrandpaM! Had a vexing problem with poor old Boots, our old gray tabby. He’d developed a maladaptive behavior—sitting at the window crying to be let in, then turning around and crying to go out again. This was difficult for my wife to understand because she loves kitties and, on hearing him, thought she had to “save’ him . . . This was worrisome because she’s very unstable on her feet.
I solved the problem by using a method I’d learned from her. When Boots started his caterwalling I squirted him with a water pistol. Although deeply offended that I’d squirt him with the water pistol, he immediately got the idea and no longer sits at the window crying to come in. And it just took the one time, too! Happily, he’s friendly as ever, comes when I call him, but the bad behavior stopped. My wife was always the ‘cat person and taught me how effective water-pistol training could be. Works with dogs, too!
Hi Garrison 🙋♀️
Thank you for the tip! You’re a wealth of knowledge 😘
And I thank my ever sagacious wife for finding such an effective and non-harmful way of communicating with our pet companions! 🙂
Wow!! Because our feral tabby is exhibiting that exact behaviour now. His cries are pitiful and pleading. He lives outside but comes up to the now redundant catflap (raccoons in the area so we can’t risk a way in) when he wants feeding.
Last night late he was crying with his nose pressed up against the sealed flap, so of course I went out to give him a midnight snack…only to be rebuffed. He cried and cried then turned and left. This is his behaviour now. Where I could previously pet and brush him, he wants nothing to do with me. Very perplexing.
I wonder what would happen if you opened the kitty door for him? If he’s crying at the door maybe he’s decided he doesn’t want to be feral and would like to be closer to you. It happens that way sometimes. Alternatively, you could also try the water-pistol, although since he’s feral it might drive him away. Dunno. My guess is that if he’s letting you pet and brush him he’s not really all that feral . . . 🙂
I’ve thought about it, Garrison, but he is too wild and unfixed. We’ve tried to catch him but to no avail. He’s too wary. And as we had another cat but no longer, I am fearful of his spraying. Otherwise I so would. We provide him an extremely warm place in the winter so he’s all right then.
He was out of a feral momma from long ago. I know this for certain because we caught all his brothers and sisters. He alone made the cut. He is content in general, so I let him howl. In truth, I think he just wants me to acknowledge his presence😉.
Thank you for all the suggestions. I do appreciate them. Bit he is what he is, and we try in every way to make his life much more amenable than he would have otherwise. Nothing who comes our way will go without shelter or food. I’m hoping St Francis would approve.
Those intact males have a pretty strong smell. OTOH, I always used to say, poor guy was minding his own business until some decided to “take care” of him and catch him, and the first order of business was to get him neutered. 🙂
OOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhh YEAHhhhhhhhhhh …… Oh Yeah
Everything. Everything. Everything gonna be alright this morning ….. Oh Yeah …….. Woah !

Love Muddy. Love Jonny . . . Iconic performance. Here goes . . .
Me too!
Iconic indeed. WOW!

I’m not a psychiatrist but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express ONCE! Therefore, my HIE accredited theory is that the hypocritic mind shares characteristics with the schizophrenic mind. So, no, they cannot make up their minds.
Good morning and good post. Cheers!
The “depraved mind” also works.
And they don’t see the conflict or the irony, Levi. They don’t have the capability.
They don’t see it and they don’t care. People like that have enabled and participated in the jailing, forced labor, and murder of countless human beings whose crime was just being able to think for themselves. For reference see the history of all communist regimes.
And given the chance they will gladly do it again, for the “common good.”
I’ll never ever understand people with missing parts, G. How can anyone inflict distress or pain and watch the effect of their deeds and not say “something is wrong with me…terribly wrong.” I’m not sure I want to get that close to soulless entities like that.
I’m stealing this 😂
😘 thanks!!!
See my comment below on the Holiday Inn…😉
Holiday Inn reminds me of being a kid and our vacations where we often stayed at Howard Johnson’s. Those two (HI and HJ) dotted the interstate landscape. My dad was certain that HJ would be the better of the two long term because of their restaurant.
Well, he bought stock in HJ and not HI. Ever make a wrong bet in the market? Yeah, happens to us all.
But you have to admit, your father had great logic! Who wouldn’t think that great food wouldn’t win in the long run?!
Correct. I felt the same way because I was in love with HoJo’s fried clams among other things.
I know I’ve picked some total losers. One was on a flight back from LAX. Two guys talking about a Pharma stock as a sure bet. I got home, looked it up and bought it. Lost everything. Lesson learned.
“Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.”
I can’t add anything to that.
HoJo!!! We did as well..safe, clean, no frills but a good coffee/diner. And yes we did make mistakes in the market. As in right before the ’87 crash. Which is why we exited and stayed out. My nerves are much better for it, even though I know we lost out (interest rates were sensible then so not as much as the financial repression has cost us in our retirement). What price a peaceful night’s sleep, eh?
The market is an ugly chaotic mess right now.
I told.my son who has a little money with a broker to get in touch to make sure his money is safe (or as safe as it can be). I said forget profits which these days are secondary to safety. No one can foresee what will happen of course, or when, though there are plenty who think they do. I trust none of their voices.
And when it happens, it will do so overnight, no time to alter a portfolio to escape the consequences. That’s just one casino I’m glad we are not in.
I feel the same. Hearing the bottom could be as low as 24That’ll hurt a lot of people. Pharma was my playground for two decades in terms of investments. It changed overnight with the WuFlu. Not sure what to make of it any longer.
My most recent investments have been value-based high yield plays. Thus far they have held their prices. But I understand that if they curtail their dividends there will be a steep price to pay.
Moved a bunch into annuities. The returns don’t keep up with inflation (especially real inflation) but it’s better than the market risk.
Although there are annual limitations on purchases I also like iBonds. Hoping they remove the cap and allow larger purchases. There is a rumor it is in the works.
You are right. Time was there were reliable dividend payers, year after year, for those who wanted less risk but a steady return. Those days are gone, I’m afraid, as we are in deep uncharted waters. Out to sea with no buoy or rescue ships on the horizon.
Didn’t they have 27 flavors of ice cream at HoJo’s adjoining restaurants?
Wow, you’ve got a better memory than I. That’s one I had to look up. Looks like it was 28 flavors but you were right there.
According to Anthony Sammarco’s A History of Howard Johnson’s, the store’s soda fountain and newsstand were immediately successful, but the real seller was the ice cream: Johnson developed a formula based on his mother’s recipe — or, some say, purchased one from William Hallbauer, a German immigrant with an ice cream shop in a nearby town — that used double the legally required minimum amount of butterfat and a custom-designed freezer to make his ice cream exceptionally smooth. Within a few years, Johnson arrived at his signature 28 flavors and opened several extremely profitable ice cream stands along the Massachusetts shore, laying the groundwork for his first full-fledged restaurant, which opened in 1929.

Thanks.
btw – they were fried clam STRIPS – not the real whole belly pi$$ clams – but they were good too!

Easy listening. Enjoyed it. Good morning and good share. Cheers!
Have a blessed Memorial Day Weekend my friends.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses,row on row,
That mark our place;and in the sky
The larks,still bravely singing,fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead.Short days ago
We lived,felt dawn,saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved,and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch;be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep,
though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
-John McCrae
Good morning Casco. So apropos for this weekend. Have a great day. Cheers!
Top of the morning to you Levi! While we enjoy this weekend,I think it’s also good to remember all those who passed on defending our freedom.It is not free,and many paid the ultimate price.
This poem was the central theme that our old Irish priest used every Memorial Day weekend.Miss you Father Tony…
Oh MY!!!! I love this poem so much, CBB. It is a small masterpiece which I came to appreciate to the bottom of my soul when I lived in Britain, where reverential commemoration still happens in November. That John McCrae lost his life in WWI makes it more poignant.
My husband used to take people on WWI and II battlefield tours on the Continent. One would have to be pretty cold not to feel overwhelming sorrow that a generation of young men were sacrificed on those fields and lie in quiet, surrounded by the most beautiful scenery. I’m so glad you posted this. I can feel the ache of those who have indeed been betrayed by men and women all these years later who forgot the lessons…if they ever bothered to learn them at all.
All blessings to you, my friend.🙏
‘Morning Bet!!! Yes,I’m kind of conflicted about how I feel about our “freedom”.While I sit on the cusp of baby boomer/gen x,I feel that we have fought for and deserve our freedom,as my elders have always taught and showed me.That contrasting with the “betrayal” that you mention,makes me sometimes wonder …are we worthy of it anymore?I’m not so sure,but for now I’m still in the “yes” camp.
An exhausting week in the mine for this canary…too many chemicals.Am getting ready for a road trip to north of Orlando for my goddaughter’s wedding.Not too far,but it’s very involved.Friends coming in from all over…praying that all goes well.
I pray that you and your family,and all our friends here in our little “church” have a most wonderful Memorial Day weekend.It’s in the spirit of living that we commemorate those who have passed on…and be worthy of their sacrifice. Pax Vobis. 🙂
Travel safely, Casco ( I’m trying to settle on what to call you🤗) All blessings for the newly married couple, and may long life together be theirs.
I can’t help worrying for you in that mine of chemicals, and hoping you are adequately protected, hard hat not withstanding. Please be safe🙏.
We took a road trip from.Texas to Florida for.our son’s wedding 9 years ago. Split the trip going, staying in Pensacola at a Holiday Inn where the bed and pillows were THE most comfortable we ever slept in. Go figure. Then did the return trip all in one go. We had an absolute blast.
And finally on this weekend when we honour and remember those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom, I am loth to say that if we’re honest, freedom is the ideal we have not reached. We lose what we have of it more and more daily. The men and women who gave everything so we could remain safe and secure, however, remain in our hearts as the best of our country. And we rightly honour them, as well as those families living who made the sacrifices as well.
Blessings to you, my friend. “Calm sea and prosperous voyage.”
Amen Bet and thank you for the kind words and concern,as always.You are a very special person,as I’m sure all here would agree.You seem to always find the nicest way to say things,and it is obviously genuine.
This place is called the Mission Inn…it’s suppose to be nice.I’m not smart enough to stay at a Holiday Inn…lol!
Yeah,the chems are no good,but I’m not too concerned…that ship sailed long ago.We’ll see you on the flipside…”God willin’ and the creek don’t rise”.Stay blessed my friend. 🙂
Hoping the celebrations are perfect in every way, as befits the most anticipated day of a girl’s life.💖
Preparing to be shipped across the English Channel.
Then storming the beach at Normandy.
Amen my friend.Boys who instantly became men. Blessings…
Iconic and chilling photo, knowing what we know. How many of those lads never returned? It hurts the heart to think.
That second pic is of Utah beach. A walk over compared to Omaha.
yep
So young. So committed. So brave. So many never had a chance. So sad. So tragic. God bless their souls, one and all.
D-day landings then and now. BTW that first pic shows the US Army Rangers that would assault Ponte Du Hoc in their British armored landing craft. Yes! It was the British Navy that delivered the Rangers for that famous assault.

more with some repeats.
Scenes From D-Day, Then and Now – The Atlantic
That’s cool!
A little history about the assault of Ponte du Hoc. Though the point was bombed from the air until it looked like a moon scape it was also shelled by the Navy before the Rangers went in. The old battleship Texas (Launched 1912) collapsed a huge part of the cliff face with it’s 14″ guns. This was not planned but turned out to be a great assist to the Rangers since the pile of rubble provided a ramp that reached about half way up the cliff face.
Many believe, including some participants, that because of the screw up that resulted in the Rangers not receiving the planned reinforcements, that without that rubble not enough Rangers would have reached the top to hold out against the subsequent heavy counter attacks by the Germans.
28 May 1955
“The Ballad of Davy Crockett” is the most popular song in the United States. Billboard reports that if the sales of all versions of the song were all added up, including the original by Fess Parker, more than 18 million copies have been bought in six months.
28 May 1966
Percy Sledge hit the top of the US charts with “When A Man Loves A Woman”, a song that he improvised with his band one night when he was upset over a failed romance. A more polished version of the song was released in early April and became Percy’s only US Top Ten hit.
28 May 1966
“River Deep, Mountain High” by Ike and Tina Turner is released. The record will stay on the chart for just four weeks and stall at #88. Producer Phil Spector considered the song the high point of his production career and was so disappointed by its poor performance that he would go into seclusion for two years.
Kilt him a bar when he was only 3!
Comical line but who gotta love it.
Morning Rebel. Good stuff again. Loved Fess as Daniel Boone. Guess he cornered the market on any legacy tied to coon skin caps.
That Percy song is an absolute MASTERPIECE. To think it was IMPROVISED is astounding. The words, about how that powerful of a love blur the lines of rational thinking, will always live on and play out in real lives around the world.
Have a great day. Cheers!
Happy Saturday, Levi
NATIONAL BRISKET DAY – MAY 28
That does it, I’m breaking out the smoker. Got a hankering for a big ole piece of meat, smoked and Q’ued and it’s all your fault. And I have to say “thanks for that”!
I have a corned beef brisket in the freezer. Time to instant pot that thing.
Got a brisket in the freezer but will take 3 days to defrost. May have to do a late celebration of the NBD.
Good Morning grandpa!!!
Hoping you and mrs grandpa have a super fantastic blessed day today ❤️
Thank you Cat!
Good morning Gramps. Better late than never. Sounds delish. I’m envious. Brisket is the one meat I LOVE that I have never cooked. However, I have the smoker and the recipe. Now I am just looking for the nerve to try it.
Lately I’ve been too busy to spare 15-16 hours to smoke the thing. I use an old fashioned smoker with oak and a little pecan for extra flavor. I think you can do it a lot faster with a pellet smoker but I like the traditional method. So it’s about 1.5 hrs per pound. That is if the brisket behaves. The last one that I did never hit the stall and got cooked in 13 hours instead of 24.
My friend at my neighbourhood Walmart in the meat section (ex police of many years and boy does he look like one) showed me a brisket they were selling, about three months ago. Once the cheapest cut (or one of them)…$50.00!!! I dread to think what one that size would cost now.
I think when I looked last week in Fredericksburg the brisket prices were about the same but that’s still high compared to a few years ago. That is if you don’t by the Wagyu brisket. You got to have an EBT card to afford that thing.
May 28 Oswald Chambers
Unquestioned Revelation
And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing. — John 16:23
When is “that day”? When the Ascended Lord makes you one with the Father. In that day you will be one with the Father as Jesus is, and “in that day,” Jesus says, “ye shall ask Me nothing.” Until the resurrection life of Jesus is manifested in you, you want to ask this and that; then after a while you find all questions gone, you do not seem to have any left to ask. You have come to the place of entire reliance on the resurrection life of Jesus which brings you into perfect contact with the purpose of God. Are you living that life now? If not, why shouldn’t you?
There may be any number of things dark to your understanding, but they do not come in between your heart and God. “And in that day ye shall ask Me no question” — you do not need to, you are so certain that God will bring things out in accordance with His will. John 14:1 has become the real state of your heart, and there are no more questions to be asked. If anything is a mystery to you and it is coming in between you and God, never look for the explanation in your intellect, look for it in your disposition, it is that which is wrong. When once your disposition is willing to submit to the life of Jesus, the understanding will be perfectly clear, and you will get to the place where there is no distance between the Father and His child because the Lord has made you one, and “in that day ye shall ask Me no question.”
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The place for the comforter is not that of one who preaches, but of the comrade who says nothing, but prays to God about the matter. The biggest thing you can do for those who are suffering is not to talk platitudes, not to ask questions, but to get into contact with God, and the “greater works” will be done by prayer (see John 14:12–13).
Good Morning jay. Getting warm enough to to test the hummer bird spa soon ☺️
God’s creatures are truly amazing
Thank you for posting
Good morning, ms idaho💖. Earlier this year we had one hummingbird appear ever so briefly in our backyard. So we hurriedly ordered a feeder, hung it in a shady tree and waited…waited…still waiting, in great hopes the feeder will be discovered. They are small feathered creatures of perfection.
Good evening ms idaho!
Good morning FC. Another beautiful passage.
Until the resurrection life of Jesus is manifested in you, you want to ask this and that; then after a while you find all questions gone, you do not seem to have any left to ask. You have come to the place of entire reliance on the resurrection life of Jesus which brings you into perfect contact with the purpose of God
It all brings me back to “Let go and let God”. Once you arrive at that place, the questions no longer matter for we understand only he knows the answers and our fate lies with him. That doesn’t mean our human nature goes away, that we no longer worry or feel anxious or pain. We do not cease to be human, we simply understand the limitations of our human selves. And in those moments, I know I pray. And then I try to move on with the rest of my day. My assumption is that fits many of us and it’s a good place to be in life.
Have a super fantastic Saturday. Stay blessed. Cheers!
Human we are, Levi, and as such are terribly flawed. Thank goodness our God is one of infinite patience, mercies, and grace. But we are works in progress, and so with each failing, we arise and try again. Letting go of myself to His control totally is the hardest task I’ve ever faced, and I can feel within myself that however much I think I have succeeded, I have not. There is an actual physical tug I feel, as if I’m being pulled, but my fingers will not let loose of the last rail.
You phrase the point beautifully. Pray and try, try again. It’s a comfort to know that in doing so our Father guides and perfects us day by day with infinite love.
Well said Levi!!! ❤️
May all your days be as blessed as your sharings arr with us 😘
Good morn, Cat💖 Another week has slipped by unnoticed. Where are they going?? I hope your weekend is truly blessed and undisturbed.
This is such a good sermon. I have one overriding question which grinds any others which I may think about into dust.
So many people going about their lives who suddenly and without warning lose them, through nothing they’ve done. Good people, babies, children. When others who commit the most atrocious acts and profit by them carry on into a ripe old age.
And that’s where I’ll leave it. My one question seemingly with no answer understandable to us, His flock. I have to trust is there is one. One day the answer will surely come. Otherwise, deep faith assures us that He is, and we must rely on that simple indisputable truth🙏
Good Morning Betsy 🙋♀️
I too have had these thoughts. It’s when my brain remembers our Lord hasn’t repossessed his planet yet. The devil has possession and the devil delights in all things evil. His lease term is getting close(I hope) to expiring.
The evil ones live to a ripe old age because the devil is using them to spread his evil. You know, like the old saying, only the good die young?
Anyway, those are my thoughts in this matter take what works, leave the rest. Remember we are all the Lord’s ambassadors. Must pray for the evil ones, albeit how difficult, because our Lord expects nothing less from his critters ❤️
Have a most blessed day Betsy!!! ❤️
A phrase we mentioned last night. Knowing that they are with the Father, though out of our sight, should be a feeling of immense comfort. Hard though it is to focus on our losses.
“And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing.” – Indeed, perhaps because the question posed to us may well be – “Who are you?” To which, hopefully we will be able to answer confidently “I am who that I am”.
Most awesomeness old school 😘 💕
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

After a 6 day week I am getting a 3 day weekend. On Tuesday morning at 04:00 I depart to do the same run I did Friday. Tenneco in Marshall, MI where I bump two docks and Pridgion & Clay in Grand Rapids before returning home.
Today is mowing day if the weather allows. Then cheeseburgers off the grill for dinner.
Good morning and welcome home rah. There’s no place like home. Hope your weather is permitting, your burgers fat, juicy and delicious and your weekend filled with love, laughter and good cheer!
Looks like good weather for the next few days here in Kentucky. A few weeks ago, I mentioned here that we had bought an abandoned trailer next door and were cleaning up. I cleared trees for over a week and then called in the heavy hitters, and excavator and a skid steer. In two days, the 14 x 60 mobile home was gone in five 30-yards roll off dumpsters and two septic tank sized holes where the rest was buried. Time for the final clean up and sowing some grass on the roughly 1/2 acre property. Today is picking up wood scraps and stumps. I need to cut up the trailer frame and haul it for scrap and I need to find a home for a big pile of concrete blocks. We hope to have a neighborhood picnic around Labor Day. After all the rain this week there will be plenty of mowing, but my wife does that. She is pretty good with that big mower.
Boy!!! You (and others) move fast! Have to take advantage of the clement weather. Well done!
You’ve certainly been busy! Now it’s time for me to do the same. Got some running to do. Out of Jack and lawn mowing beer and I will be mowing this afternoon. Weather here is still a bit humid but it’s dry.
Saw a lot of rain the last few days driving. Not constant, but nearly so at times.
I have been frequently Tony Heller’s website for well over a decade. In fact I was with him back when he had to use the alias of Steven Goddard because he was then working on contract for the Federal Government and had they known what he was doing they would have terminated his contract.
This is perhaps the best video he has yet produced. It sums of the lies on “Climate Change” very effectively.
Great share rah and an even better data-based repudiation of the LIES they feed us.
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.

very special
Good Saturday morning everyone. 56 years ago, as a youngster, I was probably sitting in the living room watching something corny like Underdog and the politically incorrect Go Go Gophers. Not to mention I was likely mesmerized by the corniness. My how time and our lives have changed.
Yet, how fortunate are we to have experienced the joy of the simple lives of our childhood? Infinitely fortunate is my answer. Consider that as you march through today and I hope it puts a little extra giddy up in your gait.
Gratitude given. Prayers delivered. Let’s get it started.
God bless each of you and all of yours. Have a wonderful day. Cheers!
Here comes CS Lewis again…
“A pleasure is not full grown until it s remembered.”
And that describes our childhood memories pretty well.
Perfectly stated. Amen. So grateful for those years and the kids whom we shared the good times with.
Mornin’ comrade infidels.
Mornin’ comrade. Hope you have a great memorial day weekend.

MORNING
We look for the Saviour. Phil. 3:20
The grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Titus 2:11-14
We, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. II Pet. 3:13, 14
Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Heb. 9:28
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. Isa. 25:9

Morning Angus. Excellent. Listening to Yes always reminds me that I believe Howe to be one of the more under-recognized guitarists. Perhaps not as under-recognized as I believe Terry Kath to be. Howe is so strong, so solid in every area of picking.
Say it Loud
Say it PROUD
Good Morning ms Idaho and doc ❤️ 🙋♀️
Count your blessings.
One hour? 40 minutes? 5 minutes later? However long it took to neutralize the shooter may be irrelevant if most of the carnage occurred right after the punk shooter entered the school, and then everything went silent. That seems to be the scenario currently being reported. We will have to wait for a more exact timeline.
But one thing is for sure; it is thanks to a stroke of luck, plain fate, or the hand of God that the casualty count wasn’t much, much higher.
How to account for a teacher opening a door…wide open? All sorts of thoughts on that.
Such a beautiful stained glass window. So much to see and appreciate. Thank you.
In one report a teacher propped open a door and went outside to see what was going on.
She then rushed back inside quickly to her classroom forgetting to close the door.
But for that……🙏

perfect retort to those who ridicule us for “doing our own research” instead of just shutting up and doing what we’re told on COVID vaccines by so-called “experts”
Question – is it normal for US Senators to send a letter to a Fintech company expressing concern about their main payment tool being vulnerable to hacking? New York Times has an article from March 2022. The company that makes Zelle had to respond and did to the senators (Warren, Menendez, Reid). Wonder why Congress is asking about Zelle.
