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 †

Hmmm who’s that playing checkers with Betsy 🙂 😉
😁😁😁!!!!! Love ya, Mr jay💕
I was thinking domino’s at first 😁😁
Either/or…works for me🤗
This Papillon will tell you what you need to know. A few “good boy” treats and some lap time and master dogie may even approve of you.
In a perfect world every home would have a dog, and every dog would have a home.
Morning, Bet. Sometimes I think we need dogs more than dogs need us. Dogs are definitely a civilizing influence. Which is why, I think, some people shouldn’t have dogs.
One day when I was at the vet with Sweetie, this “vato” 20 something kid came in with a pit-bull. The dog was well behaved around strangers and animals but the kid had fitted a large spiked collar and the lead was a thick chain. It was all for show, of course, the kid was using the dog as a stage prop to show how “tough” he was (or wasn’t). In reality he was clueless—he had no idea how stupid he looked.
You are right, my friend. There really are many, many people who shouldn’t be allowed near an animal, and especially one who gives all they’ve got to the person who is supposed to look after them. I couldn’t agree more.
I know quite few people whose life was saved by a dog. And that’s not hyperbole.
Garrison, my name for what you describe is a “small penis syndrome.” 🤣
Hi, Gramps! I forgot to mention that, for more dramatic effect, the kid had wrapped the chain around his forearm and then round his shoulder. Meanwhile the dog was completely placid in the crowed waiting room. It was all for show.
Good morning Bet, jay, Garrison, Leon, Ray, and the whole mob! Bet, or 2 or 3 dogs. 😀
🇺🇸😁🇺🇸
Good morning, my friend. Found this and thought immediately of Nipper…
Teacher: Describe yourself in 3 words.
Small boy: I am a rebel.
Pretty sure under your tutelage, that small boy could be your beloved grandson and pal.😉
Oh and this…I showed this to my husband, who usually catches on faster than I do, and he said,”But that’s four.”
EXACTLY!!!!!
LOL!
Hello there, Grandpa!
-Have a terrific day.
🙂
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Your cup runneth over tonight. Thanks so much.

Well shucks, I forgot to include this one . . .
Morning, Garrison. Willie Nelson, older than dirt, still rolling right along. A true musical icon. No voice like his.

Good morning Patience!
Hello again, Pa❣️
This one goes out to the kind, gentle cat folks:
Yay…day three of me sitting here at a computer icing my ankle.
Old age sucks.
Here’s one for you. Kick that ice into gear!
As a bluegrass guy, I have no idea what that was. But I appreciate the sentiment 🙂
Oh, I apologize. Stupid girl!
You’re a nut. I like that.
My brother owns a nuclear consulting co. Don’t talk to me about nuts.
My kinda guy. I worked in nuclear for many years and have a nuclear engineering degree.
Go Nukes!
But I was talking from a girl prospective. And don’t even get me started on heart surgeons.
You mean the ones who are rude, arrogant, self entitled, cranky?
Don’t every cross or annoy a brain surgeon, I promise…it won’t be pretty. I still have the scars….
don’t like girls, don’t like sociopaths…who do you like? :p
You’re a girl?
Sorry, didn’t know. All I know of Peoria is it’s some place in Illinois.
Way too many girls on tonight. Where are the dudes at?
Sleeping. 😂
Good morning, Keln.
You no longer have any excuses Grandpa. I’m gonna be a Paw Paw too. So gotta get up with the sunshine.
Or be like me and just don’t ever go to sleep.
“Where are all the white girls at”
Lol, sorry , couldn’t resist that quote from …. (blazing saddles? animal house?)
Bluegrass guy?
Why didn’tcha say so before?
Here, this’ll be familiar:
You posted your age once…….yer younger than me and we are both YOUNG men!
Now, mileage, on the other, thaaaaat stinks!
I’m a certified banjo player with a family history of bluegrass dating back to the great Bill Monroe. Boy, I’ve said it many times. Keep feeding me that good old music brother.
Is there an organization out there that certifies banjos?
How about one that certifies banjo players?
Or should anyone who asks questions like this be certified?
Either way, keep on pickin and grinnin.
Sorry it’s not bluegrass.
“Certified” just means I got one and been playing it for years and it sits in my living room for everyone to see that visits. And if they are not nice people I pick it up and run em out. If they are nice people, I pick it up and entertain them.
Either way, I pick it up.
Keith is a distant cousin, although I never met him. I was, I believe, the first person named after him, WAAaaay before he was famous. Mom and Dad went to school with his brothers, and I met Dwight for the first time several years ago. Dwight took Keith on the road with him singing bluegrass when he was only eight.
Ricky Skaggs is also a distant cousin I’ve never met, and yes, Keith and Ricky knew they were distant cousins.
Those guys were, and are, amazing.
Well I’m not related to Bill Monroe or anyone else I’m aware of from that time. My Grandpa had his own band, and they would play backup for Bill when he visited the state. I didn’t know my grandpa very well but we still have his 45s. And the entire family apparently can sing. Never heard him sing since he was a guitar guy, but I figure we all got it from him. Typical Appalachian family that can all sing I guess.
Now that is COOL!
i plan to crawl .. outside these walls
close my eyes and see…
This is for LBT. English only.
😁 Thank you, Peoria. Who needs coffee in the morning after that one! Bless you. LBT 😘
I bet a lot of us veterans on here know what that is like.
“Thank you for your service”
Uhh…thanks. Wait you said thanks so I can’t say thanks back. Um, you’re welcome. No wait that doesn’t sound right either. Uh…my pleasure…no wait now I sound like a Chick-Fil-A employee. UGH. lol
Yep, every.single.time….
WOW… I never have a problem responding.. Navy 54-58.. usually say thank you or if a youngster will say “ it was my pleasure to help protect you and your family”🤔🤔
I don’t see issue 🤔
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Amazing what a little kindness can do.
For all the spoiled Floridians. We don’t blame you for that, but it would be nice if you acknowledged it:
Not sure what you are trying to say. As a Floridian, none of us are spoiled. But those in democratic states seem to act as though they are.
Not sure what these are, but I am mesmerized

Destined To Be Holy
…it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” —1 Peter 1:16
We must continually remind ourselves of the purpose of life. We are not destined to happiness, nor to health, but to holiness. Today we have far too many desires and interests, and our lives are being consumed and wasted by them. Many of them may be right, noble, and good, and may later be fulfilled, but in the meantime God must cause their importance to us to decrease. The only thing that truly matters is whether a person will accept the God who will make him holy. At all costs, a person must have the right relationship with God.
Do I believe I need to be holy? Do I believe that God can come into me and make me holy? If through your preaching you convince me that I am unholy, I then resent your preaching. The preaching of the gospel awakens an intense resentment because it is designed to reveal my unholiness, but it also awakens an intense yearning and desire within me. God has only one intended destiny for mankind— holiness. His only goal is to produce saints. God is not some eternal blessing-machine for people to use, and He did not come to save us out of pity— He came to save us because He created us to be holy. Atonement through the Cross of Christ means that God can put me back into perfect oneness with Himself through the death of Jesus Christ, without a trace of anything coming between us any longer.
Never tolerate, because of sympathy for yourself or for others, any practice that is not in keeping with a holy God. Holiness means absolute purity of your walk before God, the words coming from your mouth, and every thought in your mind— placing every detail of your life under the scrutiny of God Himself. Holiness is not simply what God gives me, but what God has given me that is being exhibited in my life.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Seeing is never believing: we interpret what we see in the light of what we believe. Faith is confidence in God before you see God emerging; therefore the nature of faith is that it must be tried.

Good morning, Cat💕
Good morning Cat!
One more, this is for Dutch:
Here’s a weird one for you to listen to on the way to Avanti’s. I hear the beginning from Meth Lab Zoso Sticker, but the “I’ve seen better days” chorus is driving me nuts because I can’t place where they stole it from.
this got a lot of air play. words are a little different.
sometimes I see it under citizen kane and sometimes under sublime.
I found this and like it better.
but not likely to be the source. I think it funny thinking that it was.
lots of different better days songs.
Thanks. I got the words, but Taylor Momsen sings it to a tune I can’t identify.
Thank you P.J.!
Was unfamiliar with that one, it now goes right up there with “been from Tucson to Tukumkari, Tehachapi and Tonoapah,, ” as yes, I really HAVE been to all of those, as well as “shot at and missed, spit at and hit”!
A wonderful day to all!

MORNING
The fruit of the Spirit is meekness. Gal. 5:22, 23
The meek … shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. Isa. 29:19
Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matt. 18:3, 4
The ornament of a meek and quiet spirit…. is in the sight of God of great price. 1 Pet. 3:4
Charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. 1 Cor. 13:4
Follow after meekness. 1 Tim. 6:11
Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly in heart. Matt. 11:29
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Isa. 53:7
Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again…. but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously. 1 Pet. 2:21-23
EVENING
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luke 9:23
By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report. 2 Cor. 6:8
All that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 2 Tim. 3:12
The offence of the cross. Gal. 5:11
If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. Gal. 1:10
If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye: but let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 1 Pet. 4:14-16
Unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake. Phil. 1:29
If one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 2 Cor. 5:14, 15
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him. 2 Tim. 2:12

Today is the day, 1 year ago, that I was diagnosed with cancer. They gave me a 30 per cent chance of survival.
35 treatments later, Im still here. Feeling good. Back to working hard. Cancer free!!
Praise be to God Almighty. My faith kept me fighting. My family stood beside me. Regardless of all the insanity in this world, Im happy to be here. Everyday. To see my grand kids grow up, my wife happy, and my adult children thriving…..
Moral of my story: Never give up! Ever! Fight to live, always!
Have a great day Treepers!
Amen.
Amen BoboftheNorth. Glad you’re still with us.
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
🧚🏻♀️ 🧚🏻♀️ 🧚🏻♀️ ❤️❤️❤️
What joy, Bob! He never left you. All praises to the Great Healer.🙏 We all rejoice with you, and I’m sure wherever you are every day the sunrises, it seems brighter.
Praise e to God, Bobo!
The list of those Drs have given “6 months to live” who are thriving years later is incredibly long.
Unfortunately, the # that WOULD have lived, but for medical treatment is far longer!
Live your best life, and God Bless!
The medical system, and system it is, is designed to treat and not to cure. Thank goodness in this case, they forgot…and cured.
This is beautiful to begin ones day
Enjoy
Clapton and Pavarotti
Pavarotti’s career started when he was a member of an Italian choral group which won the prestigious Choir of the Year at the Welsh International Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales. Who could have foreseen that he, merely one of his choir would go on to international acclaim?
I lived just outside that small town, and every year it was replete with choirs and performers from around the world. It was a week of stunning national costumes and gorgeous voices. We always looked forward to it. And on the Saturday night the winner from all those countries was announced. A much anticipated and sought after prize.
Fifty years after his small choir won, Pavarotti returned to that festival and performed on the Sunday night. Tickets for it were unobtainable. But behind the concert hall, there was a canal, and on that night, everyone who could not get a ticket sat up and down its banks, among some of the most stunning hills and valleys you can imagine, with picnic baskets and libations and listened as his voice rang out beyond the walls of the Eisteddfod Pavilion.
The night was clear and the weather fine and God was in His Heaven. And the musical Welsh who were there will never forget it, as I will not.
Hi Betsy,
What an amazing experience.
You are blessed with beautiful memories.
Thank you for sharing.
Boticelli was on my bucket list, but it has shrunk quite a bit since NWO takeover.
I only need a small cup for my list now. 🙄
You are so welcome, lolli. I enjoy sharing because they are precious memories for me. And to be honest, I had forgotten that one until I saw your post, so I thank you for giving me an opportunity to revive and tell it. A real gift. Different and better times they were.
And there is a peace in thinking of them. The older I get, the more I appreciate the opportunity that unexpectedly came my way of living in another country and for so long.
Unfortunately, that country, like ours, doesn’t exist any longer, and that saddens me. All is change and not for the better. So whatever bucket list I may have had, like yours, shrinks down to teacup size also.
I’ve grown to be content with what I have really, making ordinary things little pleasures in themselves. For me there is that peace I mentioned, a very precious commodity. God bless you, lolli.🙏
I should add one group we ALWAYS looked forward to seeing was a contingent of little Irish dancers, about 8-10 years old. So sweet, and boy!!! Were they ever good! Think Riverdance, but younger and cuter…I worked in a small upmarket gift shop, and they always came by so we could welcome them and chat. They always stopped by our shop first, which we took as a great honour….ah…memories…😊
Fabulous.
We need to revive our joyful memories.
Lift up our hearts in praise.
So many are downtrodden, hard to fight this spiritual battle in such a state.
(of course, it is part of the psyops)
🙏 ❤️
Correct, it is part and parcel, so we mustn’t let them infringe upon it. Hard to do sometimes. Takes effort, and it takes strength which so many times we can’t find. At those times, for me, I have to just remember “Be still, and know that I am God”, which helps. Then I make a cup of tea, the great restorative, and one of those small pleasures I spoke of. And that helps as well.😊
Wow. Genius, whoever thought of this.
Yes, I love it.
Mornin’ comrade banana republic infidel fascists.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
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.

Some people just don’t understand “boomerangs”, so I’ve heard. You’ve been tutoring?? 😉

Oh bless,Cat🤗!!!! No tutoring, been practicing and pretty certain I’ve got the hang of it now…my mentor would be pleased I hope😉💕 Sending him fondest regards…and you😘
RIP Dave.
I want to tell a story. When I was in like 3rd grade, I went with my mom while she dropped some drugs off (yes, she was). Anyways. She left me in the car. This guys comes out to “watch” me and it’s just me and him. He looks over and asks. “You don’t know what a haiku is, do you?”
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1564846444430823425.html
And here come the tears…. Lord please accept this loving man’s soul into your eternal Kingdom, whom you put into the life of a young girl who didn’t realize that she needed him… and please be with those who grieve for him.🙏
Thank you, clarion, for this.
The Lord has blessed you so much. He brought Dave into your life to guide you and take care of you. He knew that you would need Dave. What a wonderful blessing you have received from the Lord.
Can’t tell all y’all…in the Texas vernacular… how joyful it was for me to visit this thread a little later than I normally do but still early, and see that it had already attracted 78 comments. And climbing still…just wonderful to see so many branch dwellers here leaving their hellos, their music choices, their stories, their happy “faces”, their prayers and spiritual posts…all of it!!
Glory to God in the highest for His blessings on this most marvelous group of friends and brothers and sisters.🙏😊💕
Amen dear sister!
😘!!!
Seems to me thid thread is a “refuge from the refuge” and after months of bruising my knuckles as a ‘keyboard warrior’ I am coming here for succor and solace, and renewal.
And bless you all, “its working”!
It is a refuge from the refuge. Lol
Beautifully put, Dutchman. It is that, a welcome retreat. It’s why I start here first every day, with maybe an exception or two. I am so glad you find it so…give those bruised knuckles a chance to recover before the Sundance starts posting the main meal.😉💕
Good evening, Bet. It’s 5:13pm. I woke up around 4:30 pm and having that first cup of coffee before getting ready to go to work. It is raining. 73 degrees outside. Am really glad to see it, more thunderstorms expected offf and on through the evening.
I watched Tucker Carlson’s video predicting the hardships people in Europe will be facing with rising energy costs and shortages. People in the UK and Germany are in for a difficult winter.
You know God is everywhere, literally. But, also he is represented everywhere. Our nation was founded on Godly principles, and to uphold our nation and principles is to attach to God. Can you see why they want to destroy it all? Obama in particular.
This has always been a spiritual battle, they have consulted demons to achieve and address us. We have been infiltrated by people who willingly take on evil, as power. It’s not!
Evil is defeat. It’s embracing defeat as one embraces a sin, as a fool.
Is it strength to be a man who will not act as a man acts. Or a woman to refuse her natural place as a mother or wife? (To be a mother is much harder than any task a man is given.)
To submit to a world of sins, is it strength?
No, strength and power come from God and what he has ordained not from a bent light, an evil.
Most don’t know. The sin is, they don’t want to know, it will interfere. A man will not be able to pleasure himself with men or children. A woman will have to submit, “dear God no.” And by the way, women already submit, they cannot change their nature, they just submit to the wrong things. Just as a man will always have the nature of a man, to lead and provide, protect.
People will have to admit weakness and grow, repent, and seek a God of faith. It’s not easy to seek a righteous God. Who you are may not be so pleasant in his presence. (It’s where the “fall to the ground like a dead man” fits.)
Amen!

Hi grandpa!!
💜
Hi again Cat! Insert heart emoji here.
Amen 🙏
Palerider, I miss your takes on Oswald. ❤️ they are very useful ponderings. 🌺
let’s see if this works. Funny cat video:
Pray for the soul of brave 26 -year old Dutch Royal Army commando Simmie Poestema who was shot a few nights ago in Indianapolis while out on the town after training at our nearby large urban warfare training facility with his Dutch commando colleagues as guests of the US Army. He was shot by a thug, Shamar Duncan, who, with his posse of homeboys, was looking for trouble all night picking fights with groups of other people out on a summer night. The commandos tried to defuse the situation and had to knock one of Duncan’s boyz before walking back to the hotel. Duncan had his friend drive their truck to the hotel and shot at them in a drive by. He also wounded 2 other commandos very seriously. Commando (they did not give his rank) Poestema and his platoon had helped to evacuate Dutch nationals and Afghan allies during the chaotic downfall of Kabul last year. It is a real stain on our relations with our good allies that this happened. The Dutch are also mad that the mugshot of the cowardly killer was not published for a few days. A great life of heroism, sacrifice, and love , a son of Frisia, snuffed out by a complete loser. I am not sure if Poestema was married or had kids. I would hope the brass at the Pentagon have spoken to his family out of sheer respect. At least the Army arranged to have his family be at his bedside for his last hours in the ICU bed. Very sad and avoidable. I cannot imagine this happening to any allied military personnel over here for joint training after 1945 having this happen to them. Dutch families still cherish the honor of watching over the adoptive 35,000 graves of the fallen GIs from Operation Market-Garden and other battles on Dutch soil from WWII at Margraten US Military Cemetery.
Some of the most patriotic Americans, (in terms of spirit and appreciating the ideals OF America) have never set foot on American soil, but are grateful for what America did for them, back when we WERE the shining city, and actually worked as a force for good (GOD) in the world.
During WW II, as the Russians closed in on the center of Berlin and Hitler was dictating his last will and testament, many of the Dutch were starving. The Allies told the Nazi leadership in the Netherlands that if they did not allow unopposed air drops of relief supplies to the Dutch that they would be tried as war criminals. It worked.
