Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Hi, Jay! 🙂
Howdy Garrison 🙂
Morning, Mr jay…night owl or early morning riser. Can’t decide which you are😉
Maidin Mhaith Betsy usually post before bedtime cause my get up is 3am🇺🇸😎
My goodness! So both…blessings, sir.
Neat to see the dancing trends in that first video from 1966. There’s a head jerk move in there… LOL
Me thinks some are trying to do crack their back 😂😂
Good morning jay, Bet, Garrison, and the whole mob. 😁
🇺🇸🇺🇸🤠
Good morning, G!!
Per your wonderful comments last night I am giving you the link to Ace of Spades HQ. Every day JJ Sefton provides a MORNING REPORT wherein he lists and links stories of interest, sometimes with appropriate pungent one line editorial comments.
BUT he always provides a sharp lengthy editorial prior. This morning he references exactly what you said about the fall of the Iron Curtain, and I thought you would very much enjoy reading his words. He doesn’t hold back, and is a must read every morning for me once I get my first cup of coffee for the day.
Once you bring the site up, you’ll have to scroll down to his his MORNING REPORT, as it is entitled. I commend it to you. Blessings, dear brother.😘🙏

As with all my linking, some work, some don’t. If this doesn’t do the trick just search for Ace of Spades HQ.
Phew!! It’s a good link….
Thank you Bet, I’ll check it out. ❤️
Most welcome.😊
Read it, right on and quite interesting.

Oh my, Garrison, a full meal this morning..the main course (for me) which is Bach, with dessert after, Glenn Miller. Just delicious!!🤗
Mornin’ Bet. A somewhat different mix this morning but it seems to work OK. 🙂
Most definitely did.
Garrison,
After out last discussion online, I thought of this song and how it might have some emotional and deep meaning for you, as it has for me. I love the “texture” of Rod McKuen’s voice… partly singing and party speaking the lyrics. It just seems better in this instance.
Truth 🙂 55 years in Nov.
That rendition of “If you go away” first appeared on one of the most amazing, beautiful and intimate albums ever created. It is a three part set… The Sea, The Earth and The Sky with Rod Mckuen and the San Sebastion Strings. I tried to find he full album, but could not. Here is one selection from “The Sea”… stunningly beautiful. I encourage you to look up the entire set and listen… it will fill your heart and warm it.
I was able to find the complete selection for “The Earth”… although I prefer the Sea and The Sky if I had to pick just one.
Olivier Penin and Gert van Hoef are the best young organists of this century. Happy idea.

I never get tired of “Over the Rainbow” and its many versions because of great family memories.
This version was the 1st recorded record of Over the Rainbow but it was suppressed by MGM in case Judy Garland’s on screen version was included in the final movie edit. The lyricist Harburg hated the song’s melody as did the movie’s Director, Producer and the Studio boss” until Louis B. Mayer agreed to include it. The song won the only Academy award.
A Glenn Miller version hit #1 and other Big Bands of the era had their versions of it and then nobody seemed to record it until Eva Cassidy’s excellent version in 1998 and then Israel Kamakawiwoʻole in 1999. Both of their beautiful versions were hits but sadly neither of them lived long enough to enjoy their success.
According to the polymathic and brilliant political muckraker Mark Steyn, lyricist Harburg hated the opening of his partner Arlen’s melody to his “Over the Rainbow” lyrics until Ira Gershwin asked to hear it on the piano and then said, “There’s nothing wrong with that.”
When Arlen was still having difficulty composing the melody for the songs midsection, his lyricist partner Harburg heard him call his dog Pan with an 8 note dog whistle. He suggested he use those notes in the song and they fit perfectly—“Some day, I’ll wish upon a star…”
But the song was still rejected 3 times as mentioned above. Some things seem destined to happen despite the travails. Steyn’s audio podcast on the song’s creation is fabulous (IMO)

Sure beats Judy’s melancholy (albeit appropriate for the film) version.
That’s a great picture.
Agreed!

“My Joy…Your Joy”
These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. —John 15:11
What was the joy that Jesus had? Joy should not be confused with happiness. In fact, it is an insult to Jesus Christ to use the word happiness in connection with Him. The joy of Jesus was His absolute self-surrender and self-sacrifice to His Father— the joy of doing that which the Father sent Him to do— “…who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross…” (Hebrews 12:2). “I delight to do Your will, O my God…” (Psalm 40:8). Jesus prayed that our joy might continue fulfilling itself until it becomes the same joy as His. Have I allowed Jesus Christ to introduce His joy to me?
Living a full and overflowing life does not rest in bodily health, in circumstances, nor even in seeing God’s work succeed, but in the perfect understanding of God, and in the same fellowship and oneness with Him that Jesus Himself enjoyed. But the first thing that will hinder this joy is the subtle irritability caused by giving too much thought to our circumstances. Jesus said, “…the cares of this world,…choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful” (Mark 4:19). And before we even realize what has happened, we are caught up in our cares. All that God has done for us is merely the threshold— He wants us to come to the place where we will be His witnesses and proclaim who Jesus is.
Have the right relationship with God, finding your joy there, and out of you “will flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). Be a fountain through which Jesus can pour His “living water.” Stop being hypocritical and proud, aware only of yourself, and live “your life…hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3). A person who has the right relationship with God lives a life as natural as breathing wherever he goes. The lives that have been the greatest blessing to you are the lives of those people who themselves were unaware of having been a blessing.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The Bible is a relation of facts, the truth of which must be tested. Life may go on all right for a while, when suddenly a bereavement comes, or some crisis; unrequited love or a new love, a disaster, a business collapse, or a shocking sin, and we turn up our Bibles again and God’s word comes straight home, and we say, “Why, I never saw that there before.”

Gracious good morning, Cat. Blessings as always, my friend.
Good morning Cat and Bet! May your day be blessed. Hoping for another rainy one.
We are as well. Thunder yesterday right above us and nothing. 🙏
I’ve adopted the GrandpaM approach…watered this morning…we will see if that works!
All.night.long..they quibble 😂 🎶
and her..
I heard it on the radio again today..
the synchronicity of it all still amazes me.. remember this chapter..
it was while I was in the hair metal band.. so it must have been around mid to late 1986..
they brought me to a club I had never been to.. I think it was on the north side of Houston..
a photographer took a picture of our band sitting around one of those bar table/booths..
it was a great picture.. a classic impromptu nightclub scene.. paparazzi material..
drinks.. chicks.. hair.. she was a brunette.. with shoulder draped curly locks..
and she was more experienced at this game than I was..
uninhibited of her intent.. she captured me quite brazenly..
she even paid for the hotel room..

Good morning, Dutchman. What a lovely thing it is to see you here this morning with such a beautiful prayer.
George Harrison! I had to look it up because of the familiar words…
Now the song is stuck in my head…

MORNING
The free gift is of many offences unto justiflcation. Rom. 5:16
Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isa. 1:18
I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. Isa. 43:25, 26
I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee. Isa. 44:22
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Rom. 5:15
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. I Cor. 6:11
EVENING
Occupy till I come. Luke 19:13
The Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. Mark 13:34
Unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. Matt. 25:15
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. John 9:4
Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business? Luke 2:49
Leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. I Pet. 2:21
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. II Tim. 4:2
Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it. I Cor. 3:13
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. I Cor. 15:58

Does anyone here happen to know if or where Leo Donofrio’s Natural Born Citizen blog is still available?
Found something at WordPress that said coming soon.
https://naturalborncitizen.wordpress.com/
Is this the person?
https://wthrockmorton.com/tag/donofrio-vs-wells/
His suit claiming dual citizen could not be nbc was rejected by Supreme Court.
Thanks for checking. Yes, that’s the right guy and that wordpress address used to be a live link to his blog. Donofrio is/was in my opinion, the most astute, and honest, Constitutional attorney whose work I have read; and I’ve read many good ones. He wrote extensively on the NBC issue, gave citations to support his opinions, and explained everything so the average person could understand it well. If his work has been disappeared, it’s a terrible loss.
Good morning all you fellow Right Wing, Nazi, Terrorists!
I will once again be running the Toyota Milk run I have did on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, the day the first stop held me locked for 4 1/2 hours, there were only three stops. Yesterday and today there are four stops. I’ll leave the Anderson terminal at about 13:00.
1. Dock Z at AISIN in Seymore, IN. (15:30)
2.Dock 5 or 6 at CTI in North Vernon, IN
3.is AISIN in Franklin, IN (they very rarely ship so I have not docked there but am required to go to the place where they tell me they have nothing for me. It’s a Toyota requirement.)
4.NSN Bearing, Dock 3, East Building, Columbus, IN.
Then I take the trailer to the Vandalia, OH terminal and drop it. Hook to the trailer for the next days load for that milk run and bring it back to the Anderson terminal.
Unlike Monday, Tuesday I ran well ahead of schedule on this run and last night I got back to the Anderson terminal at midnight. Monday night I just slept in the truck at the Vandalia terminal because the load had run so far behind schedule.
I will have 35 to 60 Toyota check sheets listing the parts, where they go, and all kinds of other information on them. I am required to put the trailer number, date, my signature, and printed name on each one. I have stamps for doing this and will stamp them and sort them into the stacks for the various stops before I leave out using an accordion file to keep them separate. When I drop the trailer at Vandalia I give them the filled out sheets that have been signed by the shipper and they give me the paperwork for the next days run. If there is a shortage at a particular shipper I am required to call in to dispatch to let them know what that shortage is at the time I get back my paperwork at the shipper.
This milkrun goes Monday thru Friday but I suspect that today will be my last day doing it this week since I know Josh has several other on-call drivers available to run.
Let’s face it, rah…as well as being a very good professional driver, with all those sheets? You are a human computer as well. A man of many talents.
There are 38 today. I stamped them and shorted them while having coffee with my angle this morning. I have sheets for only 2 of the stops. I called Vandalia dispatch and they say that is all there is. However, Toyota sometimes adds stuff on at the last minute. And that is why I must go to each stop because when they do last minute add ons they email the check sheets to the shipper and I fill them out when I get there and they make me a copy. If they don’t have anything I get the name of the person that tells me so.
I wrote the above to make it clear there is more to my job than just equipment inspections, fueling and topping off fluids, securing loads, and driving.
Same with my husband when he was driving coaches all over Britain and continental Europe. Driving yes, but the paperwork involved was horrendous, and different for each country he went through on his way to his final destination. He could be stopped at will in every country so all of it had to be perfect. He never was obstructed because it always was. I hear ya.
A wonderful, reassuring, timely message from my favourite Dr Spurgeon, Flyover. There is no other but the Father.
As the media reminds us, it has been 25 years since Diana passed. She was my favorite royal, next to the Queen’s horses and corgis.
I don’t know or remember if anyone every brought it up…while she was reported to say she was not entertaining thoughts of marriage, towards Dodi…others say Dodi, however, was contemplating popping the question–again, too long ago…
I have often wondered if the Fayed Clan though they could use Diana’s boys, as a weapon from within the constraints of Islam…her boys then, would have become his/Dodi’s? And a tool to be used against the UK and the rest of the west?
Talk about revisiting the Crusades?
That was where my thoughts went, regarding the car accident. Kind of a ‘preventative’ to preserve the ‘heir and the spare’ along with the British Monarchy?
A quarter of a century later…my thoughts are…they can have Harry…William…not so much, but he is yet to be proven, as his liberal dad, the Prince of Wales who leans far left anyways.
Aggiegirl…
We were fast asleep in Wales, when at 4 am the phone rang. Not a good thing in the middle of the night. I had to get up and make my way downstairs to our one phone, fearing what would be terrible family news, as calls like that at that time in the early morning usually are.
It was my oldest ringing from the States, and the first thing she said was, “Mom, Princess Diana is dead.” She says I said (though I have no recollection of having said it), “That’s not funny.”
I hung up and turned on the telly immediately to the BBC only to see their anchor dressed in funereal black delivering the news.
For us in Britain it was terrible news, shocking, unbelievable. And this started a week I will never forget, being in the midst of it as I was. It may sound silly and not understandable to any reading this, but many times during the week, I found myself inexplicably crying. The same as when President Reagan died. Floods of tears.
She was much loved, faults and all. She had a gift of connecting with all sorts of people in desperate circumstances. And it was a gift, never mind whatever else people labeled her or how complicit she was in her own situation and eventual fate. I remember it all as if it were yesterday. That it has been a quarter of a century seems incredible.
Life cut short. The British Marilyn Monroe in that regard. I am sorriest for the fact that she missed knowing her grandchildren, whom she would have adored.
And those are my memories of that tragic day and week.
Mother Theresa died that same day. A greater loss in my mind.
Yes she did. And yes her passing was overshadowed. It was a great loss, I agree, but one we didn’t learn of until much later as every media outlet in Britain, print and broadcast, was overwhelmed with Diana’s death.
I don’t think that’s a fair comparison.
Diana was only 36 when she died.
If Mother Theresa had died at 36 instead of 87, she would have accomplished much less.
I think it’s unseemly to compare whose death is a greater loss, Kitty-Kat. To those who were close to each, I suspect they would find it so as well.
How sad it is that someone like Mother Theresa gets nothing and the other is all that’s mentioned. Should definitely be the other way around 🙄
I remember the exact place and time I was at when I heard the news that she’d died.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Look not to man, but to the Lord…
Rejoice…this is the day the Lord has made!
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 on Truth Social? I finally signed up yesterday and I’ve already been called a troll and a shill for the CDC.
Feels like Twitter before the bans, but way less people. Not sure if I like it much. I’d kinda hoped people attacked each other less, discussed things more, and didn’t just echo nonsense, but maybe my expectations were a little too high.
I stay off social media.
Thought I’d ask though, Keln. When is that grandbaby due to make an appearance in this world?
February I believe. I can’t remember what the exact due date was.
Close enough. We are all on baby watch with you.😉

For my Treeper Prayer Warriors…
I often listen to Relevant Radio and the Drew Mariani Show…where the Chaplet of Divine Mercy is prayed and broadcast everywhere (and I mean everywhere), daily at 3pm CST.
I have noticed an increase of prayer requests from people who are at the end of their financial ropes…and an increase in prayer requests for/from people afflicted with cancer.
Hearing these people ask for prayers is so heart breaking, many are in tears…the same with those who are praying for cancer patients…
Please keep these people and all others going thru these challenging times, and others….please keep them in your prayers. Often, they reach out to the Relevant Radio Chaplet program as a very last resort….please pray that our Lord delivers them and offers solutions and or healing….many have received answers to their and others prayers…
Thank you!
Every single night, Aggiegirl, asking for Him to make a way for people at the end of their financial or physical ropes is at the centre of my nightly prayers. Surely one way or another my prayer and millions of others asking for relief will be answered.🙏
You have such a kind heart and soul….
For some, the MSM spinning the economy the way they did early, people did not understand or prepare? I don’t know, but to hear the anguish in their voices when they call in…me, I need to pray more!
Your prayers, your idea makes me think of the story about the little boy, the old man and the star fish on the beach…and making a difference…
One prayer…we don’t know if it is ours that made the difference or not…and God’s Will Be Done, too…
Oh my….I’d forgotten that one. I’ve saved it since forever. We know He hears each one of us. Our intercessionary prayers.
And like you, I’ve read some of the most heartbreaking posts on our Neighbours app, on many things, but lately with the sound of utter despair…reaching out for help, or even just a human contact.
And as I said elsewhere, Aggiegirl, I will never understand those whose deliberate actions have brought such fear and devastation on these people who are crying out. Perhaps if they had to face the people who they are destroying, it might make the ice of their hearts crack…but somehow I think not, as they all have giant pieces missing in their psyche.
I give to a small mission in the city I live close to. And I hope for someone that makes a difference. But, like you, I pray and pray that a merciful loving God will make ways through whatever means or people He chooses. And I always end as you have…His will be done. Even as we can’t possibly know what that might be or understand.
God bless you, girl, and your big heart. 💕
Well, Aggiegirl almost strangled herself with her mikimotos…
clutching too hard when someone commented that Democrats are viscous….being in Chicagoland….all I could think is “ya don’t say”…..a half century plus of demonrats…..
So, I am going to say my night time prayers…pray for peace and love throughout the world…for honesty in government, and solutions to the average people having problems….
Good night all…
Good night Chesty, wherever you are……….Oorah.
Good night, girl. Be careful with those pearls…😉
First arrivals of illegal invaders arriving in your area, a gift from our Gov Abbott. Hope your pearls are double knotted.
