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 †

Those blue eyes!
Two of my cats would have eaten those burgers, including the bun, before this cat got near them. Not sure about the lettuce and tomato, though.
Gabby the cat wouldn’t touchem. But Geisha the cocker would. Tomatoes and all. Geisha picks tomatoes off the plant and consumes them.
Wonder if the cat will turn up his or her nose at the fast food?
What?? Where’s the mayo?? (Good morning, dear Leon😊)
Chili and cornbread here today to ward off the 25° night😁
Thank you for all the wonderful kitty pictures, love them all.
Someone suggested that this drama would be even better with this song. They’re right.
“What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim” begins with Secretary Kim telling her boss that she’s going to quit in order to find a husband and her own life. Fighting down panic, he decides to stop her quitting by offering to let her marry him. For some reason, this proposal doesn’t work. His panic grows as he needs to understand what it will take to get her to marry him. Her answer is that she doesn’t want to marry rich, but marry normal. And so he sets out to prove that he can be normal. With great difficulty. The subplot revolves around the mystery of the kidnapping of the boss and of the secretary when they were children, and how she comes to recognize who was her companion as a child. One hint: the little boy gave her a caramel.

But how can we make sure this doesn’t happen again, after 2020 and 2022? This streams off my website. I’m afraid it would bring my YouTube channel down. Captures of all the articles describing the election steal before they might be removed.
Trump’s 2020 Election is Stolen – The Great Experiment – Joseph Blanchard (2 separate pieces)

listening to the Fox news talking head shows today, it is clear that the GOPe ruling class both hates and is terrified by Trump and the MAGA movement. In Trump and MAGA they can see the end of the UniParty partnership which essentially supports a progressive-dominant political structure where they are the forever “loyal opposition:”.
The problem, however, is that no Republican candidate can make even a respectable losing campaign — without MAGA votes. And the problem with that is that Trump—who they hate and despise—absolutely controls the MAGA vote.
Trump IS the real Republican Party. Listening to Trump’s speech tonight, it was clear what his intent is—the UniParty-donor-class could easily see what awaits both themselves and the corrupt Deep State. We live in interesting times . . . 🙂
Well stated.
We are experiencing this split in microcosm in our county.
Days ago, I said to our county chair that the split going on in the Republican party is between MAGA and RINO, and that PDJT has transformed the Republican party into the party of the working man.
Something’s got to give. Interesting times indeed.
If Trump and Desantis go at it, it’s going to ruin two political careers and deliver Newsom to the White House. Proceed with caution. Desantis would have a brilliant political career if he held fire until 2028, but I’m afraid the Uniparty may have him in their spell.
BillyD, I fear you are exactly correct! I think way much less of DeSanis now than when I thought he was going to be PDJT’s running mate.
Clean the voter roles and harvest their own ballots early in the “swing states”. That is the only way that I can see Trump being re-elected.
YES! The election of lawyers.
To make sure it doesn’t happen again, we have to get rid of the machines and use only paper ballots. Mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting are the engine of fraud. Why submit to them?
PDJT started talking about paper ballots in 2018, and keeps mentioning it in almost every rally. We have two years.
It has to be done at state and local level.
Yes.
Good morning rah and Mary….DITTO!!
Spectacular, Mary! MANY THANKS! Wow, I never cry, but there’s a flood of tears happening here.
I love that man intensely. Good husband doesn’t get jealous.
Thank you Mary. Great production.
I passed it on. 🤟🇺🇸👀
Thank you, Frank. There’s a political playlist on my YouTube channel that includes all my Trump videos except for the election 2020:
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
I thought I’d almost found it. Darn it. Help. I’m looking for the recording that has the lyrics, “The river is wide, I cannot get o’er; neither have I the wings to fly; give me a boat that can carry two, and both shall row, my love and I.” Has anyone seen it on YouTube. Should be Peter, Paul and Mary. I thought I might not have the right search terms.
I didn’t see anything 🙁
Many thanks for looking. That song has haunted me since the 60’s.

Good afternoon Patience! ❤️
Lot’s of versions of this Scottish folk song, none from PP&M.
PPM renamed it:
THAT’S IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! So many thanks. Discovered them in college and have loved them ever since. You just made my evening.
You are welcome, bit of a challenge, I see why PP&M changed names now from a 1906 public domain song so as they could have ASCAP license the song for royalties for their extra/order changing of verses that were added/changed.
James Taylor did a wonderful version <The Water Is Wide>.
There are 158+ other variations on <ASCAP>.

Fascinating!
The James Taylor version just doesn’t work for me. His variation is so off the version I take as standard with PP&M. Usually I like his covers.
Here is a version of the song, not by Peter, Paul & Mary, however
Definitely enjoyed that. Thank you.
Good mornin’ jay 🙂
🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Good morning, Mr jay. Many blessings to you, dear sir.
Good morning Bet! We got great news at the dermatologist yesterday. Clear margins and no more tissue taken out. For some reason the extra sutures did cause extra pain yesterday but I think today will be much better. Praise the Lord!
And this past Monday was my SIL’s last radiation so I’m hoping for a saner day today. ❤️😘
I had been returning to this thread all day day long yesterday, G, in hopes of news just like this!!!! And so in not seeing any, I doubled up on my prayers for your beloved, and threw all the rest of you in for good measure.
Hallelujah!!! God is so good🙏😘 (hands raised towards Heaven)
God is good all the time! Enjoying a quieter morning here filled with mundane things like watering the garden, cleaning the cooler, and installing a new wifi printer for my bride.
‘The garden did well with the one night light freeze last week, except the cucumbers. I think it killed them but still watered them. The tomatoes are doing fine. Will leave them alone until we have a freeze coming then will pick them green and let them ripen inside.
‘The cooler is another story. When I cook a brisket or two I put them in a cooler after I take them off the pit, wrapped in foil they keep cooking and absorbing the juices and stay warm for hours. The next day you have to clean the ice chest. We’ll, last time when I smoked the 2 briskets I took them to my SIL’s with the chest. Last night when I went to check on her I looked in the kitchen and there the cooler was, waiting for me. Thank God today is sunny and it cleaned really well. Took some Dawn and elbow grease.
‘My bride’s Brother decided to give up the ghost last night. Fortunately, I had a HP in my office, with it’s wifi turned off, used for copies and very occasional faxing. Moved it to her office, turned the wifi on, connected it to the network and voila! Scoring browny points and happy she is back to normal.
‘Going for a workout this afternoon, then getting Nipper from school, and we’ll go by Wally World to look for a couple of things for great grandma. 😍
Oh my, G!!! I had to reread your post twice to realize that it was not her brother who gave up the ghost!! Phew! The ole brain cells had a glitch for a moment. Can’t tell you how relieved I am…and I did think well, what a strange way to say her brother had passed on….funny now😂, but not so much when I read it. Come on, Bet! Pull yourself together!
You and your briskets…I think we should call you a master chef. They are so nice. Used to be the cheapest cut available. But the last time I looked at them, intending to buy one and use a wonderful recipe I have from a cookbook my mother in law, her 2 sisters and 2 friends had published (“Bounty on the Brazos”, 2 or 3 printings, it was that popular much to their amazement), the price stunned me into silence, and so I moved on after I recovered from the shock.
So glad you can chill for at least a day. And I hope it’s more than one. Too bad about the cukes, as we used to call them.Homegrown tomatoes are the best, so flavorful. For us, it looks as if the low Sunday will be 29. We have covered our outdoor faucets in anticipation. After that one day then it appears our morning lows will start rising to a more tolerable 47 or so. Whatever keeps us from having to turn on the heating….dreading the first bill…
Again, such glorious news for you all. I am tickled pink about it. Deo gratias times a million!😘
LOL! My bad Beth, should’ve been more clear. Big part of peer reviewing scientific articles is to make sure that everyone reading it can understand what you are talking about. As one of my science mentors used to say many moons ago, People aren’t in your head so they don’t know what you’re thinking.
😂❤️
😂!! The minute I saw “HP”, the penny dropped.
And you’re right. The number of times I’ve edited one of my own posts, thinking is it clear what I mean…then have to ad an explanatory phrase or word which very simply makes it clear.
I’m still laughing. Shared with hubby. He was howling😂
🙂
YEAH!!!!!

Greetings Treepers!
They discharged my MILaw this evening. Amazing.
Blood transfusion, diuretics cleared up her lungs, loaded her with minerals and fluids…all worked.
Her pacemaker is fine, as is her recently placed heart valve, but another valve is “leaky”. We’ve engaged a home health agency.
So! There’s my update.
Thanks again for your evident concern and prayer. 🙏✝️🙏
🙏 😀
Thanks Dubuyuh p.
Definitely good news. Prayers work! 🙂
Thanks much G
May her recovery continue and living be a joy over the coming holidays.
Looks like Thanksgiving will be a “go” at Zoe’s. 👍
It is so good to hear such a positive update… thank you for taking the time to let us know. Now focus on her and yourself.
Thank you for your attentive kindness. 😁
Such good news, Frank. Just a couple of days ago in ICU…then heartfelt concerned prayers from all of us…then out of ICU quick as you like…then Home Sweet Home! I’m pretty sure I see a connection there. Isn’t it wonderful?? Blessings to you all, my dear friend. We rejoice with you!😘
Tis wonder filled seeing the turnaround. ❤️
Praise the Lord! And continued prayers, Frank!

Good morning Garrison!

Hello, Garrison 😎.
~thanks!
I’m very glad our beloved Trump formally announced but I didn’t think a US president could win three elections consecutively.
I’m so tired I’m nearly delusional, and I’m certainly not a presidential historian/lawyer!
…and to all, good night! ✝️
Not since FDR who won four consecutively. Served three terms and a little of his fourth.
They stole Trump’s last win and installed Pedo Joe. Trump didn’t serve a second term, and until he does he can win as many elections as he runs in. Though Trump will be limited by his lifespan.
Now, Crooked Garland, Hairspray Wray and Pedo Joe are going to do their worst to make Trump drop out. Regardless of that, they will continue to cheat to keep their hold on power.
They have stolen a tyranny from our Democratic Republic. We have to take our Republic back if we ever want their stolen tyranny to end.
Sorry, Jim…I should have read further before posting.
Sorry. Bad attempt at humor. Thanks much for your reply. 🙌
A president cannot SERVE more than two terms.
He won but didn’t serve. He’s a one term president. All this thanks to the fraud fuelled coup.

Interesting discussion on how Beethoven was able to compose so brilliantly, while deaf. This, from one of my favorite Yucktube channels – Rick Beato.
Even more fascinating is a comment from “Richard Russel” who brilliantly explains in writing how someone with deafness could hear music in their head:
“I’m a classically trained composer who happens to have been born hard-of-hearing. I’ve worn hearing aids all my life. I frequently lecutre at schools on different music topics, and the question of how a deaf person could write music often comes up. I have taken to explaining it this way: “Don’t sing this out loud so that everyone has a chance, but close your eyes, take a breath, and in your mind, sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to yourself.” I’ve never met a student who couldn’t imagine the music in their own heads. Then I explain that there is a skill called “dictation” whereby you know how to write down the music you hear in your head. Having a firm grasp of theory and form helps! We can do the same thing with the English language, by the way. We read books and magazines and “hear” the words we are reading without speaking them out loud. Skilled musicians can do the same with sheet music…”
Music always sounds better in our heads.
Very few of us can let it out and still have it sound good.
Fascinating discussion. I’ve always been floored by a gentleman who plays in hospital lobbies for patients. He can’t read music or write it down, but I think he uses the piano as his dictation device and plays his own compositions. I’ve suggested he record himself, but he seems to be completely comfortable “remembering” everything he plays. He gives away his CDs and has been kind enough to let me use his music for my music videos. One of the loveliest gentlemen I’ve ever met. An electrician by profession. I have an entire Playlist of his music.

Wow, that’s beautiful! Yes, the dictation analogy is interesting to me as well because my mother was an executive secretary back in the day, and quite proficient. It always amazed me how she could do this, and I likened it to just another form of language.
Music is also another form of language, so it makes sense that one could write it without being able to hear. Being able to play it, however, and technically hit all the right keys is a whole different skillset!
Good morning, Peoria. Coincidentally, I thought of you the other day, having not seen you in a long while…and behold! Here you are with this interesting article. After Beethoven finished conducting his Ninth Symphony, the applause and appreciation, which he couldn’t hear, was overwhelming. But his back was turned. Someone from the orchestra, if I remember rightly, arose and turned him around so he could at least see how it had been received. I have always found that poignant and tear inducing.
The Czech composer Smetana also became deaf, such a terrible thing anytime. I shall read this with a cup of coffee.
So good to see you once again.
Hi! Moonlight Sonata was the first classical piece many of us learned, as it didn’t require the technical proficiency of other works. So simple, yet so powerful when played the way Beethoven heard it in his head.
It is said that if one loses one sense, the others are heightened. Perhaps that’s part of the answer why in spite of deafness such beautiful works are possible. Just perhaps they are felt more deeply before the notes fall onto the manscript.
In 2010 I became totally deaf from an auto immune condition. I was the piano player at my church. I prayed to be healed.
In my spirit the voice was telling me to play anyway. God would hear it. I knew the mechanics and could move my hands. I was playing a good digital and had someone to adjust volume. People would tell me how good it sounded. Couldn’t prove it by me.
Eventually, my hearing stabilized at a very low level and I was fitted for aids. My audiologist says that I qualify for implants but music would not sound right. I’ll keep the aids for now.
Dame Evelyn Glennie is a Scottish percussionist who is deaf. She has an extensive YT channel.
Know her well and her performances. Simply amazing. She said she could feel the vibrations from the instruments she played.
Just happened to remember her name from when she performed in Luxembourg. To feel the vibrations must take concentration.
Sent your comments to my gun friend and she replied:
“I have a friend, Severo Ornstein whose father was a famous composer, Leo Ornstein. Leo was wonderful at composition and would develop, play and perform his pieces on the piano. He had no dictation skill. None at all. He could not write any music. His wife Pauline took dictation from his playing and wrote his music down. There is a nice Wikipedia article about Leo Ornstein that somehow misses the part that his wife played in his career. Needless to say they were a very closely bonded couple.
“Most composers have all 3 skills, but apparently only 2 are actually required, if they have someone who can devotedly provide the third.”
WOW. Seriously, this gives me pause for thought.
Wondering if your friend might reach out to Rick Beato for an interview?
This is exactly the sort of thing which he dissects and appreciates – and covers it so well. Would love to hear him talk about this!
BOOM!!!! My county elected school board members last week including 3 new ones and they were sworn in tonight. Grass doesn’t grow under our feet here. We also passed a 1 cent sales tax last week to fund school construction.
At tonight’s meeting, they fired the superintendent, hired a new one away from Charleston County, fired the legal counsel, replaced the chairman of the school board, banned CRT (to be defined so teachers know exactly what they can and can’t teach but they should have a good idea already), directed finance staff to submit to the board of trustees a property tax decrease proposal since we got the 1% tax passed and established a committee to evaluate appropriate guidelines for the evaluation of materials of inappropriate sexual/pornographic content in all schools. Committee members to be named will include librarians, parents, coaches, board member(s), and mental health counselors, among others.
Moms for Liberty was active in endorsing our board candidates and 6 of their 8 candidates were elected to the 9 member board. I’m very happy with these changes but didn’t expect them this fast. You would have thought some of the local alligators were on their tail they moved so fast.
Congrats!!!
Having tried to help oust a corrupt superintendent once, along with, at a minimum, a school board compliant with and for him, I’ve seen SOME of what it takes to win.
None of it is easy.
Local media wouldn’t dare go after the guy til we found someone less local, who surprisingly enough was extremely liberal but hated corruption and had a reach with his website that nobody expected. The truth got out and it still took years to oust him.
And it all started with showing up at school board meetings.
And then, school board elections.
All while getting the truth out to the point that even the local media had no choice but to report the truth.
It CAN be done!
I’m proud of you!
Congrats, and best of luck cleaning up the mess!
Being so obviously proactive, I bet they already have a hit list of teachers and principals that they know they will have to keep an eye on.
A previous school board member is worried about a mass resignation by teachers. If that happens, it means they’ve taken themselves out.
Catherine Austin Fitts has always advocated for ground level, local taxpayer activism…where influence and efforts always reap the most rewards. What glorious news, Mari!!
Congratulations to all who worked so hard for this. How lucky the children in your county. It is to be hoped that in other counties where foul destroyers or learning and morals sit on school boards, parents will take note of these impressive successes, and will one day be able to deliver for their children as your county has done.
Very well done indeed.
Have you seen the price of spam? They can’t afford that.
Well I’m up here in Newaygo at the same MAGNA plant that refused to unload and load me last week.
Put the trailer in a dock in a couple hours.
I hope I get an opportunity to tell them about the young lady at the 2nd stop that got those oily totes off they refused to touch without spilling a drop.
A couple of inches of snow on the ground up here in Newaygo. It snowed on the way up here last evening.
November 16 Oswald Chambers
Still Human!
…whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. —1 Corinthians 10:31
In the Scriptures, the great miracle of the incarnation slips into the ordinary life of a child; the great miracle of the transfiguration fades into the demon-possessed valley below; the glory of the resurrection descends into a breakfast on the seashore. This is not an anticlimax, but a great revelation of God.
We have a tendency to look for wonder in our experience, and we mistake heroic actions for real heroes. It’s one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us. If we are not looking for halos, we at least want something that will make people say, “What a wonderful man of prayer he is!” or, “What a great woman of devotion she is!” If you are properly devoted to the Lord Jesus, you have reached the lofty height where no one would ever notice you personally. All that is noticed is the power of God coming through you all the time.
We want to be able to say, “Oh, I have had a wonderful call from God!” But to do even the most humbling tasks to the glory of God takes the Almighty God Incarnate working in us. To be utterly unnoticeable requires God’s Spirit in us making us absolutely humanly His. The true test of a saint’s life is not successfulness but faithfulness on the human level of life. We tend to set up success in Christian work as our purpose, but our purpose should be to display the glory of God in human life, to live a life “hidden with Christ in God” in our everyday human conditions (Colossians 3:3). Our human relationships are the very conditions in which the ideal life of God should be exhibited.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Wherever the providence of God may dump us down, in a slum, in a shop, in the desert, we have to labour along the line of His direction. Never allow this thought—“I am of no use where I am,” because you certainly can be of no use where you are not! Wherever He has engineered your circumstances, pray.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Good morning, dear duchess
As we enter two years of the fiery stress-inducing political furnace, we would all do well to remember and keep close to our hearts these most beautiful, reassuring words. It is essential to keep our peace and our hope, both given only through our Good Shepherd.🙏💕
I’ll second that. 🔥🇺🇸🔥🙏🔥
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.

The Great American Songbook………….
“Swinging On A Star”. Lyrics by Jimmy Burke and music by Jimmy Van Husen.Written in 1944 for the movie, “Going My Way” with Bing Crosby in which it won the Best Song Oscar that year……..lighthearted optimism, much needed with the deep depression and war years……..
The lyric writers from those days were the best, Ugly Cuss.
One word from God can change everything. Salvation and eternity are in his hands, not ours. This nation is a perfect thumbnail of that sovereignty.
Like a math equation on a chalkboard, few want to understand it. Few want to understand anything, they want to be told what to do. Freedom is the ability to take drugs at will, to have abortions, sex with whomever or whatever.
What does rampant drug use accomplish? Or sexual promiscuity? It enslaves a soul, there is no freedom in that but will they even look at the outcome?

I can no longer remain associated with any organization as self destructive and brain dead stupid as the Republican Party.
Thank God for Trump.

Dear JimS,
They’re more evil than stupid.
They’re deceived deceivers more than stupid.

Absolutely no offense taken what so ever my friend.
I view Your point as quite valid Frank.
Just replace Sea Peoples with WEF. History repeating …
