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 †

What is that waviness above the two middle trees? It looks like something’s vibrating the clouds.
Beautiful Ice Blues, and a little grayish accents. 🙂

good one!
Good morning, Mr jay. Here’s hoping we’ll be seeing the back of winter sooner rather than later. I’m sure I’ve seen that corner Spring is just around…somewhere.
Hi Betsy, Jay, Garrison, Michael, Joe, Frank, WP and everyone else on this thread…
Betsy….after getting all riled on the other threads, your posts here bring me a sense of peace.
Its only February 15 and my hyacinths are sprouting….I have about two inches of green showing right now.
Buds on the lilac…Grass turning green in spots…was 52 yesterday…windy and rainy overnight…45-ish. We still lhave March to go through up here….
And just heard of possible snow for us tomorrow…argh!
Blessings always, Aggiegirl. Hyacinths? How glorious. And how hopeful.
In Wales our little harbingers of hope were snowdrops. Oh how I watched for their little heads to pop through when it seemed winter would drag on forever. They would always appears in groups…a cluster here, another there. My spirit would get such a lift for the seeing of them.
No, winter is not through with us yet here as well. Hang tight, girl. I’m sure Spring, she’s a-comin!!😘
(…and, as Garrison always says, hug your puppies for me. I hope new young mister is getting the hang of things 🤗)
Good morning Bet and Aggiegirl! Love the snowdrops. It’s a windy morning here with 54 degrees on the way to 78. Then heading to down to 29 Friday and Saturday morning, then warm again.
‘Bet, didn’t have time to get on the OT yesterday until last night. The steaks turned out delicious, especially helping them go down with a bottle of 2017 V. Sattui’ s Napa Valley cab. Finished with 2 smallish bowls of Blue Bell ice cream. Last time I had some was Christmas Eve. Heading in a bit to Fredericksburg to work those calories out. 😀❤️
Mornin’ Gramps 🙂
Morning, G💕
Well you did better than I did. I was completely AWOL yesterday.
Two “smallish” bowls you say? Added together makes one big one, which is what we had last night. And there is nothing like a perfectly cooked steak to precede it. Now I’m hungry! So glad you all enjoyed it🤗
Busy for me yesterday as we were getting ready to see our three grands for the first time in weeks. They asked if they could have a “Bucca Day” (their name for me), and of course we were thrilled. Between the lads’ work schedules and their sister’s volleyball, getting them to have off time all together is becoming rarer.
So Papa Murphy’s pizza was on deck for the evening. Had to do a quick shop for salad fixin’s, and laundry day as well. Busy, busy…
Then at 3:00 pm, their mother phoned to say she had tested positive for Covid…we can’t take the risk with hubby’s problem breathing, so that put the kibosh on the visit.
ButI give unstinting thanks to Almighty God that we are here, 10 minutes away for her and them. No one has been jabbed. I’ve made sure she has the Zelenko protocol on hand. And I had the hated horse paste handy. So as we had already bought two family sized pizzas, I took one over, plus the horse paste, plus a supply of the “Mags'” favourite chews.
Anyway, what else to say except…The End. Have a smooth day, dear friend😁
I burned enough calories just reading your post. 😍
There will be plenty more opportunities. And the Ivermectin truly works miracles. Praying y’all stay well.
This morning I figured out I was early enough so stopped by Whataburger and got a chicken sandwich and had lunch with Nipper at school. He was delighted to see me so we had a great time. Now I’m taking care of my workout 🏋️♀️. ❤️
Blessings dear sis.
I am loving that!!!!! I can just imagine his face. And yours for seeing it. That has made my day. That bond you two have is one of the most precious things in this world, G.
And yes there will be other days. I just hated thinking of disappointing them, but they understand. Grew way too fast. And it was sudden too. Makes me remember Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof…a song I dismissed when I had no children or grandchildren. One which now affects me greatly…
They sure grow up too fast.
Ouch. Sorry for wrench thrown into your family visit.
Glad none of your loved ones took the jab, and I’ll rest on that very good note. 😜
That’s because Almighty God put me here, Frank, to pass on what I learned from the get go.
Had I not been, the intense and unrelenting pressure from other quarters would have seen them all take it.
Wheels within bless-ed wheels.🙏🏻
Hi Betsy, my snowdrops have been blooming for a couple of weeks now. They stand out like little spots of life trying to show their selves. We do not have any snow rite now, I love seeing them when we have snow and they peek their little selves out of the snow covering.
Niiiiiice
Aren’t they the most wonderful flowers, marti?? And as with yours, we were often snow covered, when from my window I would catch a slim bit of green which so excited me. Wellies on (weatherproof footwear) and out I’d go to get a closer look. The daffodils will be coming up shortly in Wales. Just in time for St David’s Day on March first…he is the patron saint of Wales. I love those almost as much!🤗
Ah, thank you…
Don’t know if you will see this tonight but Cicagoland is due for snow on Thursday, 2-4 in my region and moe up by the Wisconsin border, which we affectionately call “The Cheddar Curtain”.
I had to look up snowdrops….what a dainty and gorgeous flower! Much prettier than crocus!
Pupdates tomorrow…Cursday!
Mornin’ darlin’ 🙂
Howdy 😁
🤠
Good ‘afternoon!’ Aggie, 52 and 45ish sounds nice; a little cold again here, lo-mid 20’s last night, only barely 40ish in the day.
I agree with you, Betsy has a comforting homey way that kinda puts things in perspective. 🙂
Maidin Mhaith Betsy, wet snow yesterday and freezing temperatures today. Winter is fading fo sho 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Worst combination…melting snow+freeze=potential loss of footing. Hoping the sun shows its face soon.
Our azaleas are budding already. Seems odd.
Hi Bet!
😘!!! It’s a bit early, no??
I remember writing the Azalea Trails in Tyler. Combined with the glorious Dogwoods, they really were a beautiful sight.
I’ve always loved the story behind the Dogwood flower.🙏🏻
So pretty, J … can’t wait for “rain boots” pic, tho! (Spring)
https://images.app.goo.gl/9GdW72td5hAPqqEt5
🤗 🤗
All your chores finished, Miss D??
Well, … got little sidetracked.
(that’s the beauty about being older – now, what did I come into this room for?)
Finish up tomorrow though. 🤣 🤣
I’m trying to remember a saying from my young and lazier days. It went something like this, if a job needs to be done and no one did it then it really didn’t need to get done. 🙂
Good one, Grandpa! keeping that one! 😅
You are my doppelganger, Della😂💕
Oh dear … I’ve always liked a clean house, but it’s getting harder as years go by.
So, I just peck at it each day, trying to get something done.
And, I’ve decided, since life is getting shorter and shorter, I don’t want to leave here cleaning house! 😂😂
😍😍😍!!!
Morning jay!

Bible Study Help #10. ‘The Fig Tree Generation‘
Mark 13:1 “...He went out of the temple…” [in Jerusalem] Teaching His disciples [students].
Mark 13.28 “Now learn a parable of the fig tree...” Jesus told us to learn this! He insists we understand Him.
cont; 13:28 “…When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves…summer is near:” Harvest is coming soon.
Mark 13:29 “...in like manner…know that it is nigh…at the doors.” It’s so close, we need to understand.
Mark 13.30 “…this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.” What things? His Prophecies!
Mark 13:31 “Heaven and earth shall pass…My words shall not pass...” The 2nd Age ends but not His teachings!
Mark 13.32 “…that day and that hour knoweth no man...” We know the season [generation], to ensure we’re prepared!
Jesus’ parable involves horticulture. GOD often uses similitudes involving farming, plants, animals, etc. to ensure our mind can picture His thoughts. An important aspect of fig horticulture, is we don’t stick a fig seed in the ground to grow a fig tree. We place a ‘shoot’, meaning a ‘cutting’ from a larger whole specimen. Symbolically the ‘shoot’ is Judah, just 1 of the 12 tribes of Israel [the whole], the Christians that are dispersed throughout the world.
Matthew’s 2nd witness ensures we stay focused and understand what our Lord & Saviour is teaching us.
Matthew 24:34 “...This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” What things? All Prophecy!
Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth shall pass…My words shall not pass…” Heaven and earth age! Not the heaven and earth in the physical sense of gonzo, bye bye, obliteration. The Millennium will start exactly as GOD foretold us. We will all be back in our spiritual bodies, on the right or left side of the gulf, based on our decision to either wait for Jesus, or not.
2nd Thessalonians 2:3 “...that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first…” What day? The LORD’s Day aka The Millennium. We want to ensure we don’t fall away to Satan in his role as the antichrist, since he’s the deceiver that will appear in Jerusalem.
‘falling away‘ = Strong’s #646 N.T. apostasia (ap-os-tas-ee’-ah); …defection from truth [“apostasy“]: KJV – falling away, forsake. ‘apostasy‘ = Webster’s College Edition (apa s’te se ), abandoning what one has believed in, as a faith, principles… ‘forsake‘ = Webster’s College Edition (fer sak’) 1. give up, renounce. 2. to leave, abandon.
Jesus’ message isn’t about other faiths suddenly renouncing their beliefs and rushing to Him, rather most Christians will abandon their beliefs, even their faith, and rush away! Why would anyone renounce or abandon Jesus? Even those who have spent much of their lives attending a church to profess their love for Him?! They haven’t been properly taught! Jesus returns after Satan is already here! Any taught that the antichrist is a horn-headed monster who’s out to cause murder and mayhem won’t be able to believe that the beautiful entity in the Temple in Jerusalem, who’s telling the world he has come to bring world peace and prosperity, is actually Satan. Many think they’ll be raptured away prior to Satan’s arrival, yet he comes first! His message will be, “I’m here for you.” Any who believe his lies will of course ‘worship’ him, and unknowingly forsake the true Christ! When they learn the Truth [too late] they’ll feel a shame they’ve never experienced before.
Hosea 10:8 “...they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.” Can’t bear to face the True Christ.
The how and why Christians have been so misled requires we understand Satan’s offspring are still alive today [documented in BSH‘s #7&8 Apples & Figs]. We need to understand in depth who they are, where they are, and what they’re up to;
Revelation 3:7 “...to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write…the key of David, He that openeth…no man shutteth...”
Revelation 3:8 “I have set…an open door…thou hast…not denied My name.” Once we learn Who the True Christ is, no amount of false teachings can deceive us. We will not be deceived by Satan the antichrist, or his offspring.
Revelation 3:9 “...I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews…are not, but do lie...” They claim to be of Judah but deceive the entire world about their ancestry, and teach Satan the antichrist is the True Christ.
Revelation 3:10 “...thou hast kept…My patience, I will keep thee from the hour of temptation…upon all the world...” Any who have studied with understanding will be protected [sealed] from the global deception by understanding Jesus’ words.
‘temptation‘ = Strong’s #3986 N.T. peirasmos (pi-ras-mos’); a putting to proof…solicitation…by implication, adversity. When Satan ‘tempts’ or ‘solicits’ Christians, to ‘prove’ their understanding of GOD‘s plan, do we believe him or Him?
So who are these evil liars that are of the synagogue of Satan, and manage to deceive the whole world? Knowing of the evil bloodline of Cain ensures we understand everything going on in the world today. They are ‘Kenites’.
Kenite(s) = Strong’s #7017 O.T. Qeyniy (kay-nee’) a Kenite or member of the tribe of Kajin. from #7014 O.T. Qayin (kay’-yin) [Cain] Kajin, the name of the first child, also of a place… KJV Cain, Kenite(s).
Think: CFR, WEF, BlackRock, and the coming NWO. Not every person employed by, but the power brokers that run it all.
Jeremiah 24:1 “The LORD shewed me…two basket of figs…set before the temple of the LORD…” [500 B.C.]
Jeremiah 24:2 “One basket…very good figs…the other basket…very naughty figs…” An important reference.
Jeremiah 24:3 “...said the LORD…’What seest thou…?…I said “Figs; the good…very good…the evil very evil…”
Jeremiah 24:4 “...saith the LORD…Like…good figs…carried away…Judah…whom I sent…for their good.” Carried away into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar. Israel’s captivity occurred 200 years earlier.
Jeremiah 24:6 “...I will bring them again to this land…I will plant them, and not pluck them up.” The good figs are Judah, brought back to Judea [Jerusalem] in 1948, they’re never leaving again!
Jeremiah 24:7 “...I will be their God…they shall return unto Me...” GOD calls His Temple His home in the eternity. Judah is the only house [tribe] called to the Temple during the 2nd Age.
Jeremiah 3:19 “…the house of Judah…the house of Israel…shall come together...” This hasn’t happened yet.
Jeremiah 30:4 “…the LORD spake concerning Israel and…Judah.” GOD reiterating we are separate nations.
Zechariah 11:14 “…I cut asunder…the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.” GOD set us apart, intentionally. Judea, the nation that the secular world calls “Israel”, is currently less than 10 million souls, hardly “as numerous as the sands…“.
Ezekiel 37:16 “…take thee one stick…Judah and…another stick…Ephraim…all …Israel.” Similitudes, completely separate.
Ezekiel 37:19 “…Thus saith the LORD…I will…make them one stick…” GOD describing His planned future event.
Ezekiel 37:22 “…they shall be no more two nations…neither divided…” GOD still describing His future event.
Hebrews 8:8 “…the days come…when I will make a new covenant with… Israel and…Judah.” Paul reminds us this hasn’t happened yet. It is still future! It happens on the Lord’s Day, when Christ returns, after Satan has deceived the world.
How can we understand all this symbolism and know we are not misrepresenting GOD‘s intentions? A literalist is going to be so lost, they can’t make sense of figs & sticks, etc. so GOD explains it Himself!
Ezekiel 16:8 “...I spread My skirt over thee…entered into a covenant…saith the Lord God…thou becamest Mine.” A Hebrew expression meaning GOD married Jerusalem. We watch Jerusalem, His favorite place in the Universe, for fulfillment of all Prophecy. His Temple was and will always be there. Israel [the dispersed] do not return until The Millennium.
Revelation 17:9 “And here is…wisdom. …seven heads are seven mountains...” mountains = nations in control of Jerusalem.
Revelation 17:10 “And…seven kings: five are fallen, and one is…the other is not yet come…he must continue a short space.”
Mountain/Nation/King 1. Babylon. [2100’s B.C.]
Mountain/Nation/King 2. Medial Persia. [until 328 B.C.]
Mountain/Nation/King 3. Greece. [until 27 B.C.]
Mountain/Nation/King 4. Rome. [until 395 A.D.]
Mountain/Nation/King 5. Egypt/Mohammedan. [until 1948 A.D.] “five are fallen”.
Mountain/Nation/King 6. Fig Tree [or final] generation [Now]. “one is”. When Judah returned in 1948 until…
Mountain/Nation/King 7. The Beast [Satan aka antichrist returns]. “not yet come”. He’ll be along soon enough!
Mark 13:14 “…when ye shall see the abomination…spoken of by Daniel…(let…that readeth understand)…”
Daniel
2:31 “…a great image...”
2:32 “…head was of fine gold, his breast and arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass.”
2:33 “...legs of iron…feet part of iron and clay.”
2:34 “…a stone was cut out without hands…smote…his feet…and brake them to pieces.”
2:38 “...thou art this head of gold…”
2:39 “…after thee…another…and another third…of brass...”
2:40 “And…fourth…as iron…”
2:41 “…clay, and part of iron…”
2:42 “…the toes…part iron…part clay...”
2:43 “…they shall mingle…with the seed of men…”
2:44 “…in the days of these kings…shall God of heaven set up a kingdom…never…destroyed…”
2:45 “…the dream is certain…the interpretation thereof sure.”
GOD‘s natural law makes it clear. The Law of Gravity, what goes up must come down. This top heavy ‘image’ will fall .
Specific Gravity = Webster’s College Edition: [sp. gr.] the ratio of the weight or mass of a given volume of a substance to that of an equal volume of another substance (water for liquids and solids…)
Periodic Table of the Elements:
1. Head of gold – sp. gr. 19.3 / Babylon / Nebuchadnezzar [King of gold]
2. Breast & arms of silver – sp. gr. 10.51 / Medial Persia / aka MedoPersia [King of silver]
3. Belly & thighs of brass – sp. gr. 8.5 / Greece [King of brass]
4. Legs of iron – sp. gr. 7.6 / Rome [King of iron]
5. Feet part iron & clay – sp. gr. 1.8 [varies w/ moisture content of clay] Egypt/Mohammedans until 1948 [King of part iron & part clay] Iron & clay can not mix.
6. Good figs [Judah] & bad figs [Kenites] will not mix. [1948 until The Millennium].
7. Satan reveals himself in the temple in Jerusalem claiming to be GOD [Jesus].
Toes = 10 false kings, not flesh [men], but Satan’s generals that come with him to rule the ‘beast’ [1 world government].
8. Jesus returns, sets up His kingdom never to be destroyed. Pretty clear who comes before Who!
Biblical numerics; 7 = Spiritual completeness [2nd Age ends]. 8 = New beginnings [The Millennium begins].
Daniel 2:43 “...they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men...” We must understand, and put on the whole armour of GOD. No one stands a chance against supernatural entities unless they are fully prepared through proper teaching.
Ephesians 6:12 “…we wrestle…against the rulers of the darkness…against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Ephesians 6:13 “…take …the whole armour of God…to withstand in the evil day...”When Satan is finally revealed!
Bible Study Helps condensed to a 10 minute read can’t possibly answer all questions, personal study is crucial. However, information directly from GOD‘s Word can help any who understand His overall plan know with certainty, we live in the Fig Tree Generation. We must continue to study with understanding to assist any who desire to serve Him. Study and understand the messages of Genesis 3, Isaiah 34, Matthew 7, Mark 11, & 2nd Peter 3. May GOD bless your studies.
Matthew 11:15 “He that has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Next: Bible Study Help #11. ‘The Plan‘ Part 1; publish date, 3.1.2023.
Very thorough work, KP. The only thing I would add here, is that the teaching must be worthily received and answered by obedience. The Born Again Spirit-filled Believer has the Teacher dwelling in him, and the Lord opens the eyes of our understanding, in order to keep and do all that Jesus says. I believe that there is a reason why there is a “famine of hearing the word of the LORD” today; because of how many no longer are willing to endure sound doctrine.
Most like better a broader way then strictly the way Jesus described. Really being divorced and done with sin and the world; is not exactly what is convenient or preferred. Going to a church that preaches the way you like it; nice clean orderly people who are like you; feeling good about yourself because you have some form of religion; even though there’s nothing really showing its power; etc… this is what’s preferred today.
I believe the LORD is giving this generation one last chance to repent and be saved, the way He prescribed; but He is still going forward with everything else that must come to pass.
Also, the descendants of Cain were all destroyed in the flood; as well as all the descendants of Seth, except Noah and his sons, and their wives. There were no survivors of the cataclysm, except who was with Noah inside the ark.
Am a cradle Catholic raised with the beliefs and stern-ness prior to Vatican 2….Your paragraph two defines the culture today….’as long as I agree with it’….doing God’s work is never ever easy or painless.
I think you might be on to something, with the last chance for this generation…
I believe we must daily be aware that Satan continually prowls…and we must be vigilant to avoid sin…and when we don’t, we need to acknowledge it to the Lord our God. He is a loving Father.
“’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. ‘” — Jeremiah 29:11. Jeremiah 29:11 is one of the most often-quoted verses in the Bible.Mar 31, 2021
However, every good parent has expectations of the children…and we are no exception….And God promised ‘never again’ about the Flood….there are still expectations for his wayward children. And He gives us other ‘wake up calls’…..
Like you and Michael, Aggiegirl, I pray He is tapping us on our shoulders. satan and his unholy minions are now out of the undergrowth and have made themselves truly known. Collecting souls across the world as fast as they can because they know their time is short.
I have been astounded at how quick and successful they have been in their recruitment…even, sorrowfully, unto those charged to be His earthly shepherds within His houses of worship, the churches. No denomination has been exempted from evil’s degenerate miasma which has seeped into them.
And yet…
Here is a cause for hope that an awakening among our young may be the start of the revival this nation so desperately needs.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/02/revival-breaks-asbury-university-chapel-service-ongoing-several-days/
As duchess’s beautiful poem below prays, let us all remove our eyes from the sewer where the foul forces of satanic degradation make their home, and lift them upward.
The Light of Christ shines bright and beckoning in all His creation and beyond. He doesn’t hide in the shadows and dark corners.
If we can be the foot soldiers in His army and bring with us those who haven’t yet felt the warmth and comfort of His love and forgiveness, then that we must try to do…with unremitting purpose, fortified with faith and patience.
We can do no less for Him who sacrificed Himself for us. God go with these young people. May their promise be just the start of our country shaking off satan’s unholy grip. Bless them all.
Hi Betsy, the Lord knows your desire to serve Him; and how your seeing all the things that He is letting be released into the world, grieve and trouble you. So I just want to say, He has everything under His own authority, and we are safe in His hands. Jesus told us, and all the prophets and apostles told us, that these things are necessary first to come, before Jesus returns to establish His everlasting kingdom.
We pray for all men to be saved, and for the Lord of the harvest to send forth workers into His harvest; we pray for all those suffering bonds and adversity for the Gospel’s sake, and for all those in authority to make wise and just decisions, so we can have a peaceful world to live in honesty and godliness. We pray for each other, and for a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God, and for God to open our eyes to His wonderful things in the Scriptures.
Mostly we should watch and pray that we enter not into temptation for the fast approaching hour of trial coming on the whole world: for the Spirit is ready and willing, but the flesh weak.
Don’t be surprised or scandalized, if this generation finally does not repent or come to the knowledge of the truth. Stay close to your Beloved, and He will hold you close, so nothing can come between. Grace, mercy and peace to you, Besty.
Bless, Michael. This I know. But we can pray that they will, in a moment of clarity coupled with a moment of revulsion at what they are witnessing.
When, if, it’s hey start families of their own, there may well be a chance. Having children changes everything.
Hey Aggie, I’m not familiar with Vatican 2, (not Catholic), but I believe that God has His ‘little flock’ quiet in the land everywhere; who are of the truth and hear Jesus’ voice.
Yes, the devil goes about like a roaring lion, looking for whom he may devour; but Greater is He who is in the believer, than he that is in the world; and as long as Jesus is still on the throne, and our faith in Him is intact, meaning we are wise, and be doers of all that He says, then everything’s gonna be alright, and we will have no occasion to stumble, and the devil will have nothing in us.
I like your reference to parental expectations; I think we can all relate to that in some way. And if we think of it on those lines, about keeping ‘oil in our lamps’ and never forgetting our ‘First Love,’ doing what is our duty to do as His children and His friends, should take on a whole nother meaning!
Thanks Sister!
Dear Michael, I love reading your long posts when possible [personal time is full up right now], but I too have a few differences from your analysis. If you have time, would you please post Chapter & Verse to back up points made? Not to ‘argue’, but to allow readers to discern for themselves. [Proverbs 6:16 “...six things doth the LORD hate...” 6:19 “…he that soweth discord among the brethren.” Not that you are doing this, but let’s err on the side of caution.
Genesis 7:15 “...they went unto Noah…two and two of all flesh...” Kenites and the gentile races [‘ethnos’ where english speakers get ‘ethnic’] are all flesh. Israel [the Adamic bloodline of Christ] went north over the Caucasus Mountains [where english speakers get Caucasian] settled Europe, the British Isles, etc. eventually expanding to America, Canada, even more. Just look to the Christian nations, they are all blessed by GOD.
1st Peter 3:20 “...days of Noah…eight souls were saved...” These were ‘Adamic’ souls not the “only” souls, Paul helps clarify. But alas, this will have to be an entirely new BSH done at a later time [maybe after 6 mo. review coming in May]. It will have to be lengthy, but there are no short explanations to correct false teachings over the millenia. GOD is not racist, but perceived racism limits too many teachers. So much to cover to help get newer students where they need to be. Time is shorter than most realize. Father bless you!
Thank you KP. I appreciate your Bible Study. My husband and I both read them. We learn a lot from them. God bless you for all the work you put into them.
Gosh, thank you Marti, that means so much. Even getting 1 to understand is really important to our Heavenly Father [Matthew 18:12]. May Father bless you both. I love the ‘work’ but with no 1st hand feed back, one always has to wonder. 🙂
Sorry you don’t have more feed back. Your studies are so informative and everything backed up with bible verses. Every thing you do is very easy to understand and follow in my bible. Again I thank you very much.
Howdy Garrison 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
🙂
Excellent selections 😁😁😁
That horn intro on the Sting version is amazing… perfectly done
Good morning, Garrison. What a timeless song to appeal to so many artists. So gentle.
I’ll add another rendition to your wonderful collection. Herr Thomas Quasthoff, gifted with a voice which belies the body from which it comes. God was merciful.
WOW! I’m blown away…his is the voice of an angel.
Thank you Betsy.
God bless you all today.
Thank you, Bananas🤗
I first heard and saw him singing Bach’s Mass in B minor when I lived abroad, the television offerings there including so many classical performances. I am partial to baritone and bass voices and was overwhelmed. He shines with Schubert lieder. Well, anything really…
He is retired from vocal performances but gives master classes and conducts. But he has a love of jazz and American music as well, as you can hear with this.😊
🙂
👍🏻🤗!!!
Garrison, you gotta watch this piano player work (phew)

Afternoon Patience! ❤️
Hi, Pa❣️❣️❣️
Good morning Garrison!
Mornin’ Gramps 🙂
Hey. Why wasn’t I invited to the Super Bowl half time show?
Don’t worry, you were better off!
Because you are an innocent little soul, and good humans are protecting you.
Now go play!
The only Super Bowl this little chap is concerned with should have food in it…and lots of it!
Good Morning all and especially Betsy for making me laugh outloud.
My grandfather used to call all children chaps.
Good morning, monti😁. A word that I’ve always loved. So glad to inadvertently resurrected a loving memory for you.
Did Hamlin sign an NDA? Or was he bribed/threatened? It’s what he’s not saying that says a lot.

Sometimes it’s in what people don’t say… that speaks volumes. Good morning, Joe and Treeper friends.
Morning, JWoo … Yep, I “listen” to that often – what is NOT said. It speaks loud and clear.
Morning, Della. Yes. And I listen to the words used as well. How weasley are they? Facial expressions and eye contact (or not) are both giveaways.
Blessed morn to you, Betsy! Pray you’re well today!
Yes, those weasels…
I do like the Treehouse, but *sometimes* it’s frustrating since we can’t “see” and “hear” what others express! Miss the intention.
Making muffins in a bit, plus the dreaded vacuum/dusting chore. 😏 😏
Apologies for the misspelling weasel. My Kindle is quite ignorant, and I didn’t check before pressing “send” UGH!!!
Once your tasks are complete, you’ll be glad. I had those on the docket the other day. And I am always amazed where the dust comes from.
Oh I completely understand about posts. The written word is fine, but sometimes without the “seeing or hearing” it can be difficult to intuit nuances.
Or sarcasm…which I have sometimes meant my posts to be. Some immediately get it and others don’t, which can be a problem😬
Oh yes, the dust! As long as we’re here on this planet, it continues to fall … maybe, we could move to Mars? One of the UFOs can take us there. 😂
I like sarcasm, but it can fly over heads. You can use a symbol after sentence for sarcastic statement to help. /s
I could, should, forget😎
Good morning, JWoo. Halfway through the video, Hamlin was asked “How did doctors describe what happened to you?”. Hamlin looked very nervous (and scared) and didn’t answer Strahan’s question.
Hamlin’s not out of the woods as far as his medical issues go. It’s a safe bet he took the vax and boosters. I don’t see him playing football again or any other type of physically demanding sport.
It looked like Strahan wanted to ask him another question but held back for obvious reasons.
It’s my understanding that there were other “officials” talking to Hamlin besides family and friends. Hmmm.
Some of the comments below the article were interesting. They are all fairly consistent.
Morning, Joe. He has said he will play again. And I hope he is able to. But I doubt very much that will be the case. The NFL has much to be held accountable for. Just one reprehensible entity which is complicit with what we are seeing today.
Found this news interesting … conference in my state next month.
https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/covid-litigation-conference-next?
GOOD!!!!!! Time to bring the mountain to mohammed.
Just as Al Capone was jailed for tax evasion and not the horrendous crimes they wanted to get him on, I pray the day will come that those responsible for their hideous crimes will pay for their lies and their fraud, if not their actual genocide. Get them through the back door, as they have all bolted and triple locked their front doors (immunity fro. liability).
Steve Kirsch has been relentless. Just one of many “dogs” who will not let go of their “bones”. God, please go with them.🙏🏻
It’s waaay past time! Those criminals need to be removed from this country or in prison. (a real prison)
And not a cushy one either…I’m thinking Rikers or the equivalent.
On second thought – there is no prison harsh enough… only a one-way ticket to China/ North Korea is suitable…
Always open to suggestions. Yours? I like!
Something offshore – out of the Constitutional confines of our Republic. They do not deserve Constitutional protection. They have turned our backs on this country, now let them live and survive without its protections and without taxpayer funding. As a matter of fact, take their wealth on the way out, and distribute it back into the public coffers where it was originally stolen from.
Does our Constitution really protect criminals’ rights? I thought the rights of those whom the criminals violated are the ones protected.
Really a shame that when they saw these things coming so many generations ago, that they didn’t stop it when they had a chance.
Or the gallows, for everyone who deserves it!
Amen!
But we can be sure, when the Lord sends His angels to collect them, they won’t miss a single one; and no matter what this world missed for judging the wicked, The Day of Vengeance is in God’s Heart, and He never forgets even a sparrow that falls to the ground!
Hi there, limb lurking Tree sisters with dangling toes…
Just now getting a chance to peruse the OT. Too much heat on the other threads has this girl’s blood pressure boiling hot!
Miss Della and I seem to be speaking in code to each other… and I think she is RIGHT ON. Maybe she saw my post on narcissists and I can mention that I fear there is one of my life tormenters lurking here now. Irritated with the invasion, but like mosquitos… one just gently flicks it away. Once we know what to look for, they are easy to spot. If this person is lying to the masses, it will be revealed in due time… as it always is. That person never learned that lesson much to their great personal embarrassment.
Della, I hope you can attend the conference in Atlanta. It would be a worthy one to witness. Wish we all could find a way to get together and meet in person. As Della mentioned, so many nuances missed since we can’t see the whites of ones eyes.
BUT! We can be grateful for our tried and trues – and hopefully learn “DFTTs”. We cling to each other with hopefulness, because it gives us great blessing that one another exists and that we truly are not alone.
Hugs to the boys too on the Tree.
Hi JWoo! I have read your posts – and also read between the lines! Can’t say more here, ya know…
Wouldn’t that be great for those interested to meet up! Awhile back, I believe Frank Fields expressed that desire, too.
No, we can’t see the whites of eyes here, OR when eyes roll back in the head! 😂 😂
I visit the other threads to keep abreast, but not for long. How can one have any peace if camped out there? Not me! I need more peace in my day – not less.
I’ve never participated on social media – not my cuppa. But I do have a “special filter” when needed, LOL.
No – we’re not alone. The Tree is a foreign way of connection (for me) but times have changed, right? So, there is a blessing in it, otherwise folks would probably be more isolated. And in these days, people of like minds need to be together.
Keep the faith. 🙏🏻💕
NFL: Panem et circences
I used to watch football “like a man”, as my daughter said of my love for it.
First knee down finished that. Utterly. Good clip👍🏻
A great movie. Hi Joe.
Hi, JWoo. In my opinion, that was Russell Crowe’s finest performance in his career as an actor. That short clip says it all.
Derek Jacoby, Richard Harris, Oliver Reed, Joachin Phoenix, and Connie Neilson were all outstanding in their roles.
Derek Jacoby had some interesting lines when he talked about the corruption in Rome. Which sounds very familiar, considering what’s going on in D.C. today.
A lot of the scenes in “Gladiator” were filmed in Morocco.
RIP Richard Harris and Oliver Reed.
I still worry about our troops and what might occur if they are sent into battle. Will many drop dead on the field from heart issues or stroke from physical exertion?
They are doing that now, Rileytrips. The Pentagon and the DoD are doing their damnedest to hide it.
Another “sudden death” on the playing field.
Arne Espeel, 25-Year-Old Belgian Soccer Player, Dies After Saving Penalty: ‘This Is a Disaster’ (msn.com)
It’s getting worse, Joe. I saw this. How much longer before the denials of what is happening are ground into dust.
Athletes were mandated to have it for participation. If it were me and my heart was dying inside… I’d be screaming from the rooftops. Silence makes one complicit.
Don’t get me wrong… many took the shot because they had faith and had no idea what we were dealing with. I do not fault them at all and I have great respect for their personal convictions. I myself often worry about the Regeneron monclonal antibodies we were treated with. I have many long COVID abnormalities now… but it is my daughter that brings me great concern.
THEN… I turn to my Lord and Savior and I hand off my concerns to His Righteous Right Hand and am reminded that He Knew all along what our futures would be and I trust Him and love Him unwaveringly… knowing that in His Perfect Timing – HE RIGHTS ALL WRONGS.
That’s all anyone can do, JWoo, is give it to God. Sadly, many don’t. I’m thankful you have the faith.
Below scripture gets me through many days.
And, the Lord has your child in His hands…🙏🏻
“My times are in your hands; deliver me from the hands of my enemies, from those who pursue me.”
Psalm 31:15
Grateful for your faith, too, Della. Blessings for a gentle night’s sleep for everyone.
Good morning, JWoo…yes indeed…
Silence speaks volumes.
Good morning, Bet.

1 John 2:29-3:10 (Stephen’s 1550 – “Textus Receptus”)
“If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who does righteousness has been begotten of Him. See what kind of love (agape) the Father has given to us, that we should be called the children of God: through this the world knows not us, because it knew not Him. Beloved, we are now children of God, and not yet was it manifested what we shall be; but we know because if He be manifested, like Him we shall be, because we shall see Him as He is: and everyone who has this hope in Him, purifies himself, according as He is pure. Everyone who does sin, also does lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness: and you know because He was manifested that our sins He should take away; and in Him is not sin. Everyone who abides not in Him sins; everyone who sins has not seen Him, nor has known Him.
Little children, let no one lead astray (deceive, draw away, cause to err, cause to wander away, mislead) you; he who does righteousness, is righteous, according as He is righteous. He who does sin, is of the devil; because from beginning the devil sins. Unto this was manifested the Son of God, that He might undo the works of the devil. Everyone who has been begotten of God does not sin, because His seed abides in him; and he is not able to sin, because he is begotten of God. In this is manifest the children of God and the children of the devil: everyone that does not righteousness is not of God, and he that loves not his brother.”
2 Timothy 3:1-7
“But know this, that in the last days will be present hard (difficult, [exceeding] fierce, harsh, troublesome) times: for men will be lovers of self,lovers of money, boastful (ostentatious), proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful (without graciousness of manner, or behavior, literally, figuratively, or spiritually; without the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in life; ungrateful), unholy, without natural affection, implacable (not to be bound by a truce), slanderers (diabolic, devilish), without self-control, savage, not lovers of good, betrayers, headlong (precipitous, rash), puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of piety but denying its power: and these turn away from: for these are they who are entering into houses and leading captive silly women laden with sins, led away over various lusts, always learning and never able to come to knowledge of the truth.”
Two kinds in the world growing up side by side together. The nature of God, in all the power of His Spirit and grace, in the holy seed, in Jesus Christ the Son of God; living right alongside the children of disobedience, with the nature of the devil, and desiring to do his lusts. There is no neutral, in the middle, on the fence, undecided, half in half out: either someone is saved and continuing in the grace and power of the Holy Spirit, increasing in knowledge of Christ, as he began; or he is not. We can only be for Him, or against Him; and “If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His.” There is only ALL, or not at all!
The tree is known by its fruit; and the true condition of man’s soul with God is known by its course in life and character. There is no sin in God, and no sin in His seed. Born again, born from above, begotten of God, is a miracle, a work of divine power, perfect and complete and very good. The holy seed of God does not sin, is not able to sin, because nothing evil or wicked or unclean dwell with God.
The guilt and condemnation and fearful trembling, that accompanies every flirting with sin, is God’s warning of eternal judgment and damnation. The reason for feeling shame and condemnation and fear of hell, is because sinning makes us unfit for the Presence of God. And that is entirely why the Son of God came in the flesh into this world; to save us from our sins; form its power over us, and from all the ruin it has caused in our lives. Jesus did not leave that work unfinished, that we should in any wise still be uncapable to live holy and well pleasing to God. Just as the LORD said to Cain, when he was angry and let the devil in his heart against God; “Why are you angry, and why is your countenance fallen? If you do well, won’t you also be blessed? But if you do not well, sin lies at the door; and you should rule over it, and its desire towards you.”
The proof of our salvation is the evidence that god Himself has wrought in us; is that we are now free from the power of sin and darkness; and we do not sin, but we do righteousness. Our salvation is a miracle, a work of divine power: when all evidence of that miraculous power is absent; then there has been no miracle; there has been no new birth or new creation.
Matthew 13:36-43 “Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and His disciples came unto Him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that sows the good seed is the Son of man; the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; the enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth His angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all things that offend (cause to sin), and them which do iniquity (lawlessness); and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”

from Quora.com
An American couple is driving through Canada and stops at a gas station to fuel up.
As the man goes into the station to pay, his wife calls out to him, “ask them where we are!” So the husband walks in, pays, and asks, “by the way, where are we?”
To which the attendant answers, “Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.”
The man goes back to his car and the wife asks, “where are we?”
“He doesn’t speak English” replies the husband.
Scientists ‘switch off’ autism symptoms using $3 epilepsy drug: discovery

Try NOT to laugh. Betcha can’t do it!
LOVE children’s laughter, Feisty – it’s a precious thing!
Adults should learn from them … (laugh at the “right” things, of course.)
FROM GOD THE FATHER, VIRGIN BORN
This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and don’t tell the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
— 1 John 1: 5-9
The Epiphany season, mentioned in the hymn, is celebrated by many Christians just after Christmas. The events remembered and honored during this time are the adoration of the magi, the presentation of Jesus in the temple, and the baptism of Christ. It is often thought of as a time of light being given to the world. In my church, Epiphany season is closed by the festival of Christ’s transfiguration on the mountain-top, which we will observe next Sunday.
Incidentally, we don’t think that following the traditional church year, of which Epiphany season is a part, justifies us any better than other Christians who do not follow it. We just think it is a good discipline and aid in our daily walk. Other believers have different practices to accomplish similar things, and we respect them.
Several sources say the text of the hymn in the video is Latin, from the 5th to 10th centuries. With that large a time range, I assume several versions existed over time, with the original author(s) apparently unknown to us.
Hymnary.org says the translator was John Mason Neale (1818-66). Their biography of him includes this:
“John M. Neale’s life is a study in contrasts: born into an evangelical home, he had sympathies toward Rome; in perpetual ill health, he was incredibly productive; of scholarly temperament, he devoted much time to improving social conditions in his area; often ignored or despised by his contemporaries, he is lauded today for his contributions to the church and hymnody.
“Neale’s gifts came to expression early–he won the Seatonian prize for religious poetry eleven times while a student at Trinity College, Cambridge, England. He was ordained in the Church of England in 1842, but ill health and his strong support of the Oxford Movement kept him from ordinary parish ministry. So Neale spent the years between 1846 and 1866 as a warden of Sackville College in East Grinstead, a retirement home for poor men. There he served the men faithfully and expanded Sackville’s ministry to indigent women and orphans. He also founded the Sisterhood of St. Margaret, which became one of the finest English training orders for nurses.”
AM I MY BROTHER’S KEEPER?
“None of us liveth to himself.” Romans xiv. 7
Has it ever dawned on you that you are responsible for other souls spiritually before God? For instance, if I allow any private deflection from God in my life, everyone about me suffers. We “sit TOGETHER in heavenly places.” “Whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it.” When once you allow physical selfishness, mental slovenliness, moral obtuseness, spiritual density, everyone belonging to your crowd will suffer. “But,” you say, “who is sufficient for these things if you erect a standard like that?” “Our sufficiency is of God,” and of Him alone.
“Ye shall be My witnesses.” How many of us are willing to spend every ounce of nervous energy, of mental, moral and spiritual energy we have for Jesus Christ? That is the meaning of a WITNESS in God’s sense of the word. It takes time, be patient with yourself. God has left us on the earth – what for? To be saved and sanctified? No, to be at it for Him. Am I willing to be broken bread and poured out wine for Him? To be spoilt for this age, for this life, to be spoilt from every standpoint but one – saving as I can disciple men and women to the Lord Jesus Christ. My life as a worker is the way I say “thank you” to God for His unspeakable salvation. Remember it is quite possible for any one of us to be flung out as reprobate silver – “…lest that by any means when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.”
Oswald Chambers
February 15th Devotional
Morning (nearly afternoon), juststevie💕 I always remember in the Prayer of Thanksgiving in my beloved Book of Common Prayer…
“We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all, for thine inestimable love in the redemption of this world by our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace , and for the hope of glory.”
The word “inestimable” is so powerful. Because as human beings only, with our limited understanding, there is no earthly way we can quantify how deep and wide His love is for us. It is unimaginable. We may think we know, but it really it is a terrible impertinence coming from our lack of humility to think we can comprehend the magnitude of it.
A Gift so miraculous we can only bow down to the Almighty Giver of it and attempt to make ourselves worthy of it.
Be well, sis. Keeping you in my prayers for the manic season you are working through. This, too, shall pass.😘
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Amen!
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.

It more than makes sense. Just as I know the voice of God comes through Archbishop Vigano, I firmly believe. I always ask that the Spirit guides my words. And I am so glad to see you place your words through the blessing of the Holy Spirit here . They are so uplifting. And dare I say, thought provoking? I do dare, dear friend. Bless you always and forever🙏🏻💕

Morning, dear Frank💕
Mornin’ all!
Unfortunately yes.😖
Just another day at the office…oh, wait.
I mentioned before that my neighbor across the street has chickens. He lets them out in the yard and they stick around. It is entertaining to watch the chickens and his two turkeys while Sherry and I have our morning coffee. My neighbor says the hens lay better if he allows them to free range part of the day when the weather isn’t too bad.
I have also mentioned there is a young red tail hawk hanging around our area.
Yesterday when I was on the road Sherry was watching and that hawk went after one of the chickens. The rooster was on that hawk in a heartbeat and the hawk retreated. I reckon that young raptor learned a lesson.
‘Morning Treepers !
What “emergency” and/or “crisis” will the DC/Uniparty/Globalists manufacture today, for the MSM to megaphone ?
Whatever it is, continue to do the right thing for your family.
…always!
I don’t think they have given up on the ‘little green men from another planet’ idea yet, for building fear. I expect there will be a rise in the number of ‘sightings’ and creepy kidnaping stories. However, no habitable planets suitable for sustaining intelligent life have ever been found, despite decades of searching.
The DC/Uni-party/globalist loons are counting on the ignorance and gullibility of the public, most of whom they refer to as ‘useless eaters’. They, the globalists, are the useless eaters.
I’ve heard that every star found in the same class as the Sun has flares that would crisp our solar system every couple hundred years. It’s food for philosophizing.
I came across this story late in the day, yesterday. I think this is a a very exciting breakthrough re AUTISM and I do so hope this leads more knowledge, so this, and other mysterious disorders like ADHD, can be treated or eliminated.

Off use…so many drugs which are devised for one thing so often are found to help other issues. What a miracle for millions this would be.🙏🏻
Yes indeed, Betsy. I got quite excited when I read this new finding, thinking of all the people, the families, this could impact. I pictured all the smiles that would be on so many faces this morning. and like you, I am sure, thought of ‘Ivermectin’. There must be many others.
I did think of it. Straight away.
Someone knows what damage has been done with vaccines, jb. And they know the extent of it. Once upon a time it was 1/150 for autism. Then 1/94…1/52…and so on.
I think how Robert Kennedy at first demurred from getting involved when someone (can’t remember who) begged him.

This one is for balloon nerds. Here is a guy who has spent years researching strange balloons because he really is a UFO guy and not just an aliens guy. It’s a nice history of military balloon attacks on America and the media censorship.

I took my neighbors dog, Cooper and our dog, Geisha the cocker, for a walk around the back field. Cooper’s master is in Florida. Cooper has obviously lost a few pounds. He is now right at about the weight he should be. He is a stoutly built Beagle and walking him one has to be careful to not let him drag you around when he gets on a scent. I figure that me may have lost some weight because his master has been gone for 2 1/2 weeks and he is stressed, but I think it is probably more due to the fact that his master isn’t around to give him treats.
I cleaned the fireplace insert and restocked the ready wood pile and split out kindling to fill the kindling basket so we’re ready for the next bout of winter weather. I laid in two full sized pickup loads piled high and have gone through about 1/2 of that so far. So I should have plenty to get me through until this summer when I will lay in another two full pickup bed loads.
The other day I went to pick up Chinese carry out. When I parked it was next to a brand new Dodge pickup with temporary plates on it. It was a very windy day and as I opened the drivers door on my pickup the wind snatched it out of my hand and it hit the door and handle of that new pickup. The driver and I exchanged info. Today I got it all settled with AllState. They’ll cover the claim, no problem.
Made a run to the store and topped off the tank on my pickup. I don’t like to get below 1/2 tank because the sticker shock of filling it up that 32 gallon tank with middle grade, is not enjoyable. I mean I can deal with a $50.00 fill up, but one of over $100.00 gets to me.
Now, I have done what I am going to do today. I am rewarding myself with a non Jack & coke. Tomorrow at 07:30 I take off on a run with two stops in Louisville and one over near Cincinnati, OH and then bring it back to the yard here.
I’m tired now, rah…must have a lie down for a few.😂
Hey Rah,
I probably missed your update. How’s your daughter doing? Keeping you all in my prayers.
