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 †

beautiful
wonder what he thinks of that?
Trying to count how many free-fall tumbles, turns and spins
he could make
before landing on his paws.
I’m assuming that’s a private jet, as befits such a beauty…
Children are the best.
I love dogs, but this is a lot of dogs to play with every day,
Bless his innocence and joy. Long may he have them both.
(The other day after many hot few weeks with no rain, we finally had a wonderful downpour. My husband went outside just as the cool air ushering in the much prayed for moisture hit with glorious life giving drops and stood out in it. I’m certain his inner child was doing exactly what this sweet toddler was.🙏)
I see I misplaced my reply…should have been with the one of the child above.

Just perfect, Patience! Kelly and Fred Astaire were the best hoofers. I’ve always enjoyed this one. Iconic. Bless you..and of course, Ma🤗🤗
Now for another cuppa…

Rain in the forecast for Sat and Sun here at my place.
After the KC run on Monday and Tuesday I did a Skokie, IL milkrun yesterday. Chicago traffic going up was the worst I have seen out of the many times I have done that run and by the time I headed home I was really sick of stop and go traffic.
I-65 S. is a mess in places where they are getting ready to expand that interstate from 4 to 6 lanes all the way Indy to Chicago. Something that should have been done years ago.
So there is a lot of work on under and overpasses and bridges. In one place they divert off the interstate and up a ramp and down on the other side and it is causing quite a backup.
So I decided to Jump off of I-65 at the 201 mm onto US 24 E and take that to US 31 S to Kokomo where I catch Hwy 26 E to Hwy 13 S through Elwood. Coming out of Elwood I go straight on County Rd 900 W to Hwy 128 (the shortest Indiana Hwy). Take 128 E to County Rd. 5oo W and take that south to Hwy 32 E. Take a right on Raible Ave. in Anderson and follow it until it “T”s and a left on 38th street and then right on Martin Luther King and right on W 73rd St to the terminal.
This country drive goes through a number of small towns but avoids the stop and go BS. And getting off the beaten path helps break the monotony.
My birthday present yesterday was Josh telling me that Sunday I go up and stay all week until Friday doing different milkruns in Michigan for the Romulus, MI terminal. It is my week in the barrel. The Romulus terminal has no shower facilities and there is no time to get one when doing the various runs so I will arrange to spend at least one night during the week in a motel room during the week so I can get a shower. The company will pay for the room.
Phew!
Not as difficult as it reads. I had 16 minutes of my 11 hour drive time remaining when I pulled in at the Anderson terminal.
You are a road warrior….!
I often wonder if it’s you in the truck when I’m on the road.
Red truck. Carter Express. Truck number 21533.
😜👍🏼
Me toi! Especially when I was in Breinigsville area and passed a Nestle establishment with loads of tractor trailers. Rah&Co. bringing the Nestle goodies
Nestles have several facilities there lined up on Nestles way. When I go there I usually deliver to the one at 555 Nestles way. These days more often than not I deliver Boost in a dry van because the board runners grab the refer loads of milk because they get paid 5 cents more a mile for hauling a refer.
Right across from the terminal I work out of on west 73rd st. in Anderson, IN is a Nestles plant that produces the milk and Boost.
Finally getting some rain here in Central Texas. We surely needed it
We have had drought here for a few years and every bit of rain is so welcome. I love the way the air smells when it starts to rain.
To me rain always smelled like black eyed peas smelled whilst theu are cooking. Crazy, right?? I love it as well💖
Betsy, if you could figure out a way to bottle that smell, you might have something.
It could go with the nature sound of rain and thunder:
😍!!!!! How lovely. Really there is no sound like it, is there? Ten whole hours? AWESOME!! I’ll get right on that bottling project😉
Lovely sounds! In California, a 2 inch rain is when the drops fall 2 inches apart.
Morning Bet, we had a bit of rain last night and this morning, just enough to wet the ground but thankful for it. There is more in the forecast today. Lord, hear our prayer. We’ll take every drop.
Good morning, G. Lord hear our prayer🙏…the very words I seem to be saying more and more these days. I bet you are as well.
I hope the heavens open on top of you. But something I’ve noticed….
Europe is in a terrible drought. China seems to be suffering as well, though my focus is primarily on Germany, the centre of so much of the evil we see today (plus Davos). The Rhine almost dried up, no river traffic which is crippling them in the midst of the ungodly and foolish destructive climate cult worshipping, little to no fuel for the winter as Germany plays the fool for the WEF/US/NATO in their depraved war.
One would think this seemingly Biblical situation was a rebuke from God Himself. Who’s to say yea or nay? I do wonder…
Blessings always, G. Get your umbrella ready!😘
he’s sniffin’ that little one
Yes, in a good way. The lead female horse in a herd often looks out for the well being of the others. Usually an older mare. Horses really connect emotionally with us humans and with each other.It’s a sweet thing to see.
delete
My British sister in law has owned horses all her adult life. First for dressage instruction then later for competitive carriage driving which she does no longer as she is 80 this year. She and her carriage driving partner own a few still.
Fortunately one of her dearest friends is the quite wealthy daughter of the man who started the Liverpool pools betting agency, so she has plenty of help in managing them.
I can’t imagine the day when there will be none of these beautiful animals on her off the road property. I’m sure they keep her going. And yes, oh yes. Their incredible connection with humans, and vice versa, is a sweet thing to behold.
In Britain there are quite a few horsey establishments which operate for autistic children and for people with disabilities. The people who run them are wonderful and loving, both of their animals and those who benefit so much from a special connection with these magnificent animals. God bless them, because keeping horses is certainly not cheap. That in spite of the cost these people do all they can to keep running says everything about them. 💖
Our granddaughter has a neurological syndrome.
She receives horseback riding therapy each week.
Her brain and nervous system synapses benefit from her time and exercises on horseback.
The stable and therapists are supported by donations and low fees charged to the riders’ families. Folks donate horses whose temperament and experience are well-suited to their new service. Several volunteers help with therapy sessions, horse care, and stable duties.
God bless the many fantastic people who give so much to this operation!
If you have such a riding therapy place near you, do stop in to see what they are doing. Do consider donating to their good work. You will be helping many afflicted children and adults.
How wonderful for your much loved granddaughter, aDoozy. I’m familiar with the organizations in Britain, which I know so well, and knew such establishments existed here. There really are some good, GOOD people in this world. We could use a lot more just like them. I can well imagine how much she looks forward to going. God bless and watch over your beloved granddaughter…and the giving people who make her experience possible, no matter how they contribute.🙏
If you have property for the horse to graze and a stable you can at least avoid boarding fees. I think that is the most expensive thing about a horse. The hay and feed are not too terrible. I think feeding, grooming and taking care of them is really even more important than riding them only.
Many good riders don’t know how to care for their horse and that is where the close relationship with them develops. I think many trainers spend a lot of time in the barn,
Children who need a friend and physical activity really do get a lot of benefit taking care of a horse. Those organizations also rescue a good horse who needs a home and give him purpose, as well as helping children.
This is a true story and a movie you might enjoy.
“Harry and Snowman” is about a horse rescued from slaughter in New York in the 1950’s by a European immigrant who happened to be a horse trainer. He frequented horse slaughter to buy inexpensive animals.
Snowman, the horse, was no thoroughbred, but turned out he could jump any fence. Snowman beat all the swanky horses on the circuit for many years and made the trainer famous.
Very nice story about the immigrant, his horse farm, and family of six children and Snowman makes seven.

When I’m in the utube mood, this is a regular well worn clip for me.
NICE. Very Nice.

Garrison, you are on a roll. What great music we had on our AM band back then! So many talented musicians. I know every word of these songs.
🙂
Not my favorite selection. I mean the music is good to listen to but not think about.
The first one always bugged me, the entire message is basically “listen to young people”. Well I was young once and I was a complete idiot back then and if people listened to me then, they would have formed all kinds of crap opinions.
I’m in my 40s now and I still can’t be sure anything I say is anything anyone should really listen to.
I think most of us here can agree…young people are idiots and they should just be left to their hormones in order to continue population growth.
Especially, knowing that us guys don’t develop a fully functional brain until about 30. 😂
Far out, man . . . 🙂
Garrison , 😄 , ✌
” . . . I’m in my 40s now . . .” Which means you missed the counterculture. This song was recorded in 1967—55 years ago. When I first heard it back then I thought it was prophetic.
Yes, I “missed” that particular counterculture (there’s been another 2 since then), but I was born in time for Star Wars, so that’s not bad.
Especially true when one’s state-of-consciousness is, um, a bit altered . . .
I occasionally have an opportunity to counsel people that are looking for young people for their church leadership as they have come under the notion that youth creates growth. I always recommend the same thing. Churches need the enthusiasm of youth combined with the wisdom of maturity. Either one at the expense of the other will damage a fellowship.
It is true in all endeavors.
Morning, Garrison. Now there’s a group I loved but long forgotten. Thanks for the memory jolt.🤗
Mornin’ Bet. This is musical archeology . . . 🙂
Excellent term!
Good Mornin,
Garrison!
The first selection this a.m. reminded me of what was going on in our country (and the world) when that song came on the radio.
The 3 station televised news streamed hippies in love with love & peace and free-love and “☮️“ ……
and “ pigs”,
Vietnam protests etc,
Kennedys and King, Vatican II,
— and Bob Hope and variety shows.
The psychedelic sound in the song is perfect for the words!
That song goes with Ball of Confusion ; for me.
Does anyone remember Bubble Puppy?
Yupp! 😉
🙂 Shiva’s Headband . . . ? Vulcan Gas Company . . . ?
??
There was a Vulcan gas company on Congress Avenue in Austin in the 60’s that supposedly led the way for Armadillo World Headquarters The Austin scene in those times was unlike any other in the country and you cam literally spend hours surfing the net and reading about it.
Bob Dylan played the Palmer Auditorium in 1965 with Levon Helm and The Band, Like a Rolling Stone was on the set list. Such cool things happening
Definitely, High Times . . . 🙂
That song is loaded with compilation of quite a few other songs of the time.
As the British might say, they were rather full . . . of themselves. 🙂
Mornin, Jay
– n thanks.
God is awesome; indeed❣️
Buff Spring seems appropriate song for us “deplorables” right now…I put this on my playlist 2 week ago…🇺🇸💪😀👍
For what it’s worth always reminds me of this song…
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Gooduns, Jay! 🙂
Howdy Garrison, you too. I can appreciate mono more now than then. 🙂
Morning jay and Garrison!
Mornin’ Gramps! 🙂
Morning still in our prayers!
Morning, Mr jay. Look how young they all were!!! A lifetime ago.
How charming is he? I can almost hear his wings.😍 Thank you!
Tonight I pray for the Russians protecting the Zaporoshye nuclear power plant and ask that you prevent any damage from the Ukrainian shelling and prevent any provocations to be successful. Please God, protect innocent lives.
I pray for President Trump for his safety and vindication and return to the White House.
I pray for those who are hurting and afraid tonight because of inflation and business losses. I pray that the criminal and destructive actions of our government will be stopped. I pray for our children, that You will keep them safe from those who wish to cause them harm. I pray for families, that they flourish and hold tight.
In Jesus Name. Amen.
Amen
Amen.
Amen, even in the morning.
“Biden’s” War. Another $800 million of funny money winging its way to Ukraine to keep Zelenskyy quiet. Funny how all propaganda has been dropped by the MSM.
APP live from Spain, 2012. “Old & Wise” with a tenor sax solo instead of guitar.
Love the long sax solo ending instead of the 15 second outro.
This was never available for karaoke but just looked and Karaoke Version now has it… will be mine soon enough, always loved this song.
Love the sax! Always liked Jerry Rafferty with the sax, too.
Elton John – I’m Still Standing
Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan, Robert Cray – Sweet Home Chicago – 1990
and one more for fun

A little different one more….
Good morning, Cat❣️
Thanks for getting me dancin —so early.
Mornin’ Cat. 🙂
If Joe Biden would simply put everything back the way he found it, we would be soaring again.

High-Ranking Disney Exec Jumps Ship to Join Major Conservative Company
Excerpt:
Caballero said he’d be using the Disney playbook to grow audiences in the conservative media sphere.
“I studied Disney’s traditions of customer obsession, of multi-generational franchise-building, and of broadening Hollywood’s best talent,” he said in a statement, according to THR.
“The Daily Wire is building on this blueprint successfully enough that storytellers and media executives are taking notice and signing on.”

Everyone is posting music today so here I go, the best of some crazy Finns covering big hits (here it’s all AC/DC) with kinda bluegrass instruments. The Steven Seagulls everybody!:
And as an addition, I present to you Mean Mary. As a banjo player myself, I’m kind of afraid of this woman.
Nice!
A brief tale for this mixed-up muggled-up shook-up world today
A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won’t stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring.
He replies: “I have a question to ask, but I don’t want to offend you”
She answers, ” My son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything.
I’m sure that there’s nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”
Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.”
She responds, “Well, let’s see what we can do about that –
you have to be single and
you must be Catholic.”
The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes, I’m single and Catholic!”
“OK,” the nun says. “Pull into the next alley.”
The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
“My dear child,” said the nun, why are you crying?”
“Forgive me but I’ve sinned. I lied and I must confess, I’m married and I’m Jewish.”
The nun says, “That’s OK. My name is Steve and I’m going to a Halloween party!”

NOW THAT’S FUNNY…
😂😂🤣🤣👍
Gooood morning treepers!!!
Non lurkers and lurkers (yes, you 😎 ).
Thanks for alllll the music on this Friday!!! Even got the percolator on the stove jumping this morning…giggle
May everyone’s day be filled with happiness, laughter and surprises ❤️
GOOOOOOOD MORNING Feral.
I hope you are doing well today. If not, well make it a good day anyways.
Good Morning Keln!
That’s sweet. Every day is a bright shiny one here.. I borrowed Magic’s magic wand and poofed happiness for all who pass by the treehouse.
Have a good day Keln!!
Well I dunno about any magic wands, but I do know God made this day and we get to live in it, and that’s reason enough to love it and make the most of it.
But seriously, if I had a magic wand, I would be really fat, because I would just keep making Boston cream donuts over and over and eating em.
I cut my teeth on making deserts, donuts are definitely not a problem to make. My fryer is not hooked up as I will not invest 100k for the fire suppression system and overhead exhaust system in a building that I do not own.
The only desert I offer currently is a Monkey bread type thing.
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/229222/grands-monkey-bread/
I have many people addicted to them in town. They might make you forget about doughnuts.
My cheesy bread sticks too, altho I call them crack stix internally, that is what little old lady labeled them a couple a years ago. Haven’t seen her since COVID started, sigh, guess she moved somewhere or across.
🇺🇸🇺🇸😎
Good morning Cat! Can you wave that wand over the AC in San Antonio. That way I won’t have to drive there and meet the AC guy? ❤️😁
Hi grandpa…I’ll have to ask magic when he wakes up… it’s hard to swipe it from him….good to see ya back!!! 💜
Well, I’m already there anyway. Sitting in the 90 degrees house while the guy swaps the compressor fan motor. 🥵
Awake..and working, my wand doesn’t seem to work on the weather, only things I directly have my hands on and as I told my manager once “no one will ever know HOW I wave my magic wand!”.
We have had daily rains here since the 2 or 3 week of June, most rain I have ever seen here since 2011 perhaps even more than then.
Hence the other night when I was grilling my chicken… it wasn’t raining after karaoke on Wednesday, good thing to it rained last night and it has been threatening looking all day today.
Reminds me of my roots in Indiana, except generally doesn’t rain at rush hour here to snarl traffic like it does on I-465 that backs up traffic for hours because id10ts do not remember how to drive in the rain….ever.
At least people here remember how to drive in the snow…except the Texans, NM, CA, AZ…….SMH, bright side they leave their wallets contents here.
I could fix it for ya…if I wasn’t 20ish hours away that was one of my specialties HVAC.
Glad I can fix my own equipment… saves a boatload of money.
Acquired a (newer than mine) 60″ sandwich prep station from the Mexican restaurant near me, they bought a new one, I now have parts on order to fix it up for me. This also happened Wed night… when it rains it pours…. in this case, fortuitously.
In the merry month of May from me home I started
Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted
Saluted Father dear, kissed me darling mother
Drank a pint of beer, my grief and tears to smother
Then off to reap the corn, leef where I was born
Cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and gob-a-lins
A brand new pair of brogues, rattlin’ o’er the bogs
Frightenin’ all the dogs on the rocky road to Dub-a-lin
one too tree for five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dub-a-lin, whack-fol-la-de-ra!
In Mullingar that night I rested limbs so weary
Started by daylight my spirits bright and airy
Took a drop of the pure, kep my heart from sinking
That’s the Paddy’s cure whenever he’s on for drinkin’
To see the lassies smile, laughing all the while
At me curious style, ‘twould set your heart a bubblin’
An’ asked if I was hired, wages I required
‘Till I was nearly tired of the rocky road to Dub-a-lin
one too tree for five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dub-a-lin, whack-fol-la-de-ra!
In Dublin next arrived, I thought it such a pity
To be so soon deprived a view of that fine city
Well then I took a stroll, all among the quality,
Bundle it was stole, all in a neat locality
Something crossed me mind, when I looked behind
No bundle could I find upon my stick a wobblin’
Enquiring for the rogue, said my Connaught brogue
Wasn’t much in vogue on the rocky road to Dub-a-lin
one too tree for five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dubl-a-in, whack-fol-la-de-ra!
From there I got away, me spirits never failing
Landed on the kee, just as the ship was sailing
The Captain at me roared, said that no room had he
When I jumped aboard, a cabin found for Paddy
Down among the pigs, played some funny rigs
Danced some hearty jigs, the water round me bubbling
When off Holyhead wished meself was dead
Or better far instead
On the rocky road to Dub-a-lin
one too tree for five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
And all the way to Dub-a-lin, whack-fol-la-de-ra!
The boys of Liverpool, when we safely landed
Called meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
Blood began to boil, temper I was losing
Poor old Erin’s isle they began abusing
“Hurrah me soul!” says I, me shillelagh I let fly
Galway boys were nigh and saw I was a hobble in
With a loud “Hurray!” joined in the affray
We quickly cleared the way for the rocky road to Dubl-a-in
one too tree for five
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
All the way to Dublin, whack-fol-la-de-ra!
Doctors want more money to kill people with covid jabs http://www.vernoncoleman.org/articles/doctors-want-more-money-kill-people-covid-jabs
And that is socialized medicine for you. The NHS is not fit for purpose…and I regret to say neither are the doctors who have stopped showing up to see patients. I have nothing good to say about them, so of course, on top of salaries paid for lacklustre attention to duty they want more…and more and more.
We are trying to talk some sense into my British sister in law who has been jabbed up to the eyeballs. No more we tell her. Not sure she’s heard us. Next round of vaxxxxes okayed for the over 50s, which she most definitely is.
I love Dr Coleman and always have. No one can accuse him of being shy about speaking up. Thank you for posting this, Camomile.
August 19 Oswald Chambers
Self-consciousness
Come unto Me. — Matthew 11:28
God means us to live a fully-orbed life in Christ Jesus, but there are times when that life is attacked from the outside, and we tumble into a way of introspection which we thought had gone. Self-consciousness is the first thing that will upset the completeness of the life in God, and self-consciousness continually produces wrestling. Self-consciousness is not sin; it may be produced by a nervous temperament or by a sudden dumping down into new circumstances. It is never God’s will that we should be anything less than absolutely complete in Him. Anything that disturbs rest in Him must be cured at once, and it is not cured by being ignored, but by coming to Jesus Christ. If we come to Him and ask Him to produce Christ-consciousness, He will always do it until we learn to abide in Him.
Never allow the dividing up of your life in Christ to remain without facing it. Beware of leakage, of the dividing up of your life by the influence of friends or of circumstances; beware of anything that is going to split up your oneness with Him and make you see yourself separately. Nothing is so important as to keep right spiritually. The great solution is the simple one — “Come unto Me.” The depth of our reality, intellectually, morally and spiritually, is tested by these words. In every degree in which we are not real, we will dispute rather than come.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
We begin our Christian life by believing what we are told to believe, then we have to go on to so assimilate our beliefs that they work out in a way that redounds to the glory of God. The danger is in multiplying the acceptation of beliefs we do not make our own.

MORNING
As he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. I Pet. 1:15
Ye know how we exhorted … and charged every one of you, … that ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. I Thess. 2:11, 12
Ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. I Pet. 2:9
Ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Eph. 5:8-11
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Phil. 1:11
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matt. 5:16
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Cor. 10:31
EVENING
Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. Isa. 45:11
A new heart … will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them. Ezek. 36:26, 27, 37
If two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matt. 18:19, 20
Have faith in God. Verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Mark 11:22, 23

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it.
10 You drench its furrows and level its ridges; you soften it with showers and bless its crops.
11 You crown the year with your bounty, and your carts overflow with abundance.
12 The grasslands of the wilderness overflow; the hills are clothed with gladness.
13 The meadows are covered with flocks and the valleys are mantled with grain; they shout for joy and sing.
Thanks for a good year.
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.

Eight out of ten of those “Republicans” that voted for impeachment will not be in the next congress. The two others survived their primaries. I hope it takes a lot bigger wall to hold the RINO trophy heads before he’s done.
Beautiful message from Eb of Green Acres.

Watched an interview on CNN this morning with Fred Upton where he essentially denigrated Trump supporters.
He being a RHINO isn’t surprising but at very end of interview at approximately 9:35 Eastern he flashed an Illuminati devil’s horn hand sign.
Look it up and see for yourself.
What a disgusting man. From my state. Ick.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
And prayers up for all political prisoners. Prayers up for Julian Assange and for all the protesters of January 6 who were or are entrapped in DC. And, thank you, Lord, for restoring Pastor Pawlowski.
Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Amen.
Amen 🙏
Amen.
Amen.

Amen
Jesus Christ is Lord.
