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 †

😳 oh my!!
I am struck by all those holes in the sides of the pits. “I got them all for you. Give me praise.”
He’d be great to have along to dig foxholes for the troops🤣🤣👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
I had one, very briefly, many years ago. I gave it away because my yard was well on the way to looking like that picture. It ended up being a farm dog. She was especially good at killing snakes.
That’s usually what they do under fences! 🙂
I was mauled by one of those a few years ago. I still bear the scars. It could have been game over for me, as we were in the same weight class. The only thing that saved me from his follow up, and probably finishing, attack is that he was well trained and responded instantly to his master’s command as he arrived at the scene, out of breath from running.
It took a couple of chunks out of my left arm and leg, and a bite in the short ribs.
I don’t really fault the dog, as I came around the corner in the barn and called out my presence which surprised the sleeping dog that I hadn’t noticed, and he reacted to this intruder in his territory. From the dog’s perspective, he was just doing his job. I was fortunate that the master was close enough to prevent my expiration.
Just like a cat (although a sweet stunner🤗)…
Dogs on the other hand??
😂 😂 😂
Brushed his pearly whites and everything!! Who knew a dog could say “cheeeeeese”!!!! 😁
Bet, my husband used to brush our dogs’ teeth every day…..and they looked forward to it!
Hahahahaha!! Well, I gotta say, Dixie, that’s the first time I’ve ever heard of that! Every day, you say…he must have loved them very much💕
And I am sure they were healthier for it, too. All I can think of is how expensive teeth cleaning is at a vet. And not just that!!
I have pictures of them awaiting patiently on each side of him, front paws braced on the bathroom counter, while he finished brushing his teeth. Only problem, they wanted his toothpaste but had to settle for theirs.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!!!!
I’ve now got that picture stuck in my head😁
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Great voices, jay 🙂

Ahhhhhhhh…..sigh…….
Good morning, Mr jay😊
Maidin Mhaith Betsy won’t be long now and daffodils will be poking out. Lots of buds on the trees just waiting to blossom. 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Our oaks always cling to their dead leaves until the new growth appears. Then fall one by one until our yard is covered. With last nights terrible 80 mph winds, they are all gone. Shockingly all the new blossom on our redbuds is still there. If anything they are even more brilliant in their colour. Go figure…
Good morning Bet! Left you a couple of replies last night. We got the tail end of the front last night. It went through fast but we did lose power. Thank God they got it back going in a little over an hour and I didn’t have to start the portable generator. Still waiting on the big whole house one. It got pushed back to May or June. ❤️😘
Morning, my dear brother.😘
I returned to the thread later than normal, saw your updates and responded. Worried about you south of us and those north of us. So I was so glad to see you post.
We received a text from our electric supplier saying an outage was reported from here, but I hadn’t done that. Thankfully our “leccy” (explained last night that’s slang for electric) held, even though it threatened to go bye bye with dimming then brightening then dimming again. We were lucky all right.
And good grief!!! May/June?? I guess thank goodness you ordered when you did. What was the original promise date again? Welcome to the new America…I preferred the old.
While not a like/like comparison, suddenly I was visualizing NHS waiting lists. People (I was going to say “Folks”… but as soon as I typed it, the wretched Obama’s and O’Biden’s faces intruded so quickly erased it) have their surgeries scheduled for months away; get close to the day only to receive a text saying ” rescheduled “, then wait months more.
Sorta kinda sounds like the same thing…
Ordered it in July, the original wait was 4-6 months. Should’ve had it installed by now. Sheesh.
Unacceptable!!!!!

old pic but…
Yep!! Ours look just like that, Aggiegirl. Beautiful harbingers of the spring and Resurrection to come.
Redbuds…. lovely!

Good morning, Magic.
A day that starts with Bach, especially the Toccata and Fugue played so beautifully is a day which starts out right.
KEXP 90.3 Seattle! 😉
In my estimation, this recording of Pepe’s Romero playing the Giuliani Concerto #1 for guitar and orchestra is the finest ever made. Pepe’s playing is absolutely splendid, crisp, lyrical, and very musical. His playing is very much aided by his guitar.
There’s an interesting story about this instrument. It was built in the mid ’70’s by Miguel Rodriguez in Cordoba, Spain. Pepe fell in love with this guitar, using it in countless concerts and recording. Listening to it on this recording, I can clearly understand why—it has a wonderfully distinct sound. Pepe’ so loved this guitar that he called it “La Wonderful”. While attending one of Pepe’s master classes in Houston, Pepe’ invited me to “tune” this wonderful instrument. Really, it was just his way of giving me a chance to play his favorite guitar . . .
I opened the guitar case and there was what is now regarded as one of the finest, if not the finest, guitars ever made. As requested, I carefully tuned it for Pepe’ and then I began to play a prelude by Manuel Ponce’. Suddenly I stopped and just beheld this magical instrument. Playing La Wonderful was sort of like going to church. I’ve never forgotten that magical experience.
Howdy Garrison 🙂
Howdy, jay 🙂
Evening gents. Scott Tennant and La wonderful..
For the ages…
Morning, Garrison. Were your hands shaking with (I’m sure) this unexpected request? Perhaps ten seconds or so for the magnitude for the high honour given to you to set in? An experience I can only imagine…
This concerto of Giuliani’s is one of my favourites, and I thank you for it🤗
My return gift to you, dear Garrison. Delightful!
David’s a great player. He’s also very approachable despite being an internationally famous concert artist. I’ve had several after-concert-party conversations with him over the years. Some artists don’t handle their celebrity well; fortunately that’s not David (or Pepe’ for that matter).
Hope you made it through the storms ok. We basically got sideswipped—light hail, rain, high winds but just small tree limbs in the back yard.
We did and have just realized our good neighbours with 30 year old Cleveland pear trees did not.
We cannot see our adjoining borders so it wasn’t until we heard chainsaws going that we went outside to look. Our sweet neighbour just left. She shared with us pictures of the terrible damage to the trees, and the long fence at the back of their property is gone.
I feel so sorry for them.
The miraculous thing is that none of those giant broken limbs fell on our roof or broke our fence. This time we escaped. There will be more such storms of course.
I am relieved the worst didn’t hit you. Very…🙏🏻💕
And now a story about Hand of Almighty God and his wonderful mercies…
My husband made a few dulcimers for fun, and sold them easily. This was a year or so ago.
He just took a phone call from a man to whom he sold one.
The story is this…
This man, John, who had no expectations that my husband would remember him reminded my husband that he had said, “If you ever need any help, give me a call.”
John’s wife is very musical but had a stroke a year ago and can no longer play her beautiful piano. She has taken to the dulcimer and asked, for convenience sake, could her husband reverse the strings so that she could lay the instrument on her lap for comfort. When John did this, he broke one of the machine heads.
When he and his wife went to a local music store to replace it, the owner said those particular ones were unavailable, that he would have to replace the lot. The cost? $160, which was well beyond their means.
So John phoned to see if by chance my husband had any spare.
He did… two. When he phoned John to tell him he’d bring them over, he said the sense of relief he heard on the other end of the phone was all too real.
But here comes the miracle!
Normally my husband deletes numbers such as John’s after his interactions are complete. But for some reason he did not delete this number. And there this phone number has sat for over a year with “John dulcimer” written beside it. Had he deleted, the number would have come up as junk and the call would have been ignored.
So now John’s beloved wife will have her dulcimer repaired, it will cost them nothing, and she will be able to continue to play the music she loves.
An unquantifiable blessing for her. We are so happy that through His mysterious ways, this lady will continue to play. That’s the glorious way we view this. God is so good…and so I am sharing the good news of His blessings, seemingly small but, in fact, very great for this lovely couple. 🙏🏻💕
Wonderful story, Betsy.
“God works in mysterious ways” …. but then again, sometimes not so mysterious. That’s an easy conclusion to reach when we understand that our Father’s love is limitless and so wise, that He puts each of us in the place where He wants us, and at the time that He wants us.
So are these “coincidences” that work for the good, or are they simply His Will being Done? I always now know it’s the latter. Peace upon you, fair lady.
Bless, GB😘
My view has always been that there are no coincidences…none. The threads of this life weave hither and thither. So beautifully intricate has God designed this universe, even (as you say so well) His timing planned for each one of us.
A mess of words there, I know. But I feel very strongly that it is only in looking back that we get even a hint of how moments we experience before bring us to the points of our lives where we are. And ultimately understand how unfathomable are His ways. And yes, mysterious as well.
Serendipitous? Not a chance.
Thank you, dear sir, for your comment 💕
🙂
I have friends who are luthiers. This is what they would do. Your husband, of course, is a good man. Our Lord smiles on people who are good. 🙂
He is a good man, Garrison. One of life’s best. Thank you. 😘
This guy is smiling right now :). Great story, Bet. I’m sure that our Heavenly Father is smiling, too.
I am hopeful that He is, my brother. We’ve been smiling ball day long💕
All day long even 😉
Betsy, that is a lovely story, and thanks for sharing.
I just told my friend yesterday (who also is in tx) “you never know how a person touches the lives of others”!
And your husband’s encounter is another beautiful example.
Great story Garrison
Thanks for sharing

Good morn, dear friend! 🤗
Good morning dear friend Bett
I see you also made it through the night
Thank you Jesus
Start a new day 🙂
Morning friend!
Good morning GrandpaM
Hope you have a great day
And I must say , if you can play the guitar you could probably play the harp.
If you make a mistake when playing it can go unnoticed.
A friend told me that.
I could never get the hang of the guitar. I’ve owned a few but couldn’t get it right.
☘️
Bless, molon💕 and thank you! Yes, start a new day with mercies afresh as they always are every morning🙏🏻
🙂
Morning Garrison!
Mornin’ Gramps 🙂 Hope you made it through the storms ok. We had high winds, rain, and light hail.
No problems really, just out of power for an hour or so. And I had just washed the Jag. This morning it looks like drove it in the Paris-Dakar rally.
Great sounding guitar, made all the more wonderful by expert artists.
Top of the afternoon, Garrison!

Luke 14:25-35
“And great crowds were going with Him; and having turned He said to them, If anyone comes to Me, and hates not his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and besides also his own life, he cannot be My disciple; and whoso carries not his cross, and comes after Me, cannot be My disciple. For which of you desiring to build a tower, not first having sat down counts the cost, if he has [means] to [its] completion? lest having laid its foundation and not being able to finish, all who see should begin to mock at him, saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king proceeding to engage with another king in war, not having sat down first takes counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him with twenty thousand who comes against him: but if not, he still being far off, having sent an embassy he asks [terms] for peace? So in this wise therefore everyone of you who does not take leave of all that he himself possesses, cannot be My disciple. The salt is good; but if the salt become tasteless, with what shall it be seasoned? Neither for the land nor for manure is it fit; they cast it out. He that has ears to hear let him hear.”
These are some of the “hard sayings” of Jesus, which cause many to go back, and follow Him no farther. The terms of our agreement with Christ expressly state, that there are costs to consider, and counsel to be taken, and we will need to consider carefully what is before us, take counsel, and deliberate; in order to exercise good judgment, and be able to finish what we are starting. What does that mean? The “counting of the cost” implies careful thought and planning for all eventualities, in order to finish what we are setting out to do. We are building a tower; and we are preparing to face down an enemy of possibly overwhelming numbers. So the question that makes some stumble; is, How do our closest loved ones, and those whom we are suppose to honor and obey; represent coming up short of funds to finish our project, and a mortal enemy, if we want to follow Jesus and be His disciple?
The answer is simple: but the carrying out of it is where it costs. The Light of Christ entering into a family will create division and hostility and real war. The Name of Jesus, and the preaching of the cross, will show people their sins, and convict them as unfit for the Presence of God, unless they repent and submit to being converted. Those who are our closest family members will have the least inhibitions to their most aggressive attacks and contentions; because as your brother or sister or mother or father, they instinctively think its their right; which they also use as the reason they don’t have to believe “what” you are saying.
I remember, before I was saved, but being under great conviction; that one of the “strongest arguments” (as I thought), was How can I just forsake my family and let them go to hell? interesting logic? Can’t repent and come to Jesus because it will mean that the family then goes to hell! 🙂 Needless to say,the Lord wasn’t ‘buffaloed’ or stumped with that one! And so He turned up the heat of conviction higher. Thank God He prevailed to overcome my cowardly resistance.
The short answer is, that there can be no double-minded, half committed, unwilling to give up those who hate the Lord, is we are going to walk with Jesus. Its a vow for life, all the way, or not at all. Everything that keeps our hearts bound to this life, which is against God and His Anointed, is our enemy. Are we still then to love, even our enemies? We are indeed to love them, and in far greater a way, than when we were still unsaved in their house; but we are no longer of the world, just as Jesus is not of the world. And with our not being of the world, comes the cruelest condemnation that the world can do to us; which we are to take up as belong to us.
A prophet is not without honor, except in his own house, and among his own kin. Why? Because they know you; and they don’t believe that God has chosen you. Some are very blessed to have believing family members; but the most common is, that the one who gets saved, is going to be by himself; and the rest of the family that hasn’t seen the need to repent and be saved; becomes extremely irritated and consumed with belittling and harassing, to try to drive this Jesus business out of you. They are still in the world; and you have turned your back on the world: why wouldn’t they think you’ve lost it, and use every means to shame and insult and discourage you from going any farther with your new found Religion? This makes them our enemies for the Gospel’s sake.
Next to that, it is natural affections, and good and wholesome, God-appointed earthly relationships, that will by nature inevitably conflict with your forsaking all and following Jesus, and taking up your cross when you need to. Even Christians who love you, will be very hard to resist with their emotional pleas, and breaking your heart with their tears; when God is clearly guiding you in a direction that they only see as danger. This hatred that Jesus talks here about, is like the hatred we are to have for sin and uncleanness having any place among us, or about to threaten our brother or sister. No pity, and no agreement, can we have with anyone or anything that causes us to deviate or wander away. Former duties to be under subjection and obedience to parents or family members, ends where it conflicts with being Jesus’ disciple.
Proverbs 19: “Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causes to err (wander away, be deceived, deviate) from the words of knowledge.”
We have determined to build a tower; for Jesus is our Tower of refuge and Fortress of safety and defense. We are set on a collision course with the Lord’s adversary, and all his armies; and we will need good counsel and cunning wisdom in order not to have to surrender or be overcome by them. Greater is He that is in us, then he that is in the world: was written about the Antichrist. It tells us therefore, that Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit in us, are greater than all and everything, even the worst that the devil can deploy against us.

Sounding off here in the DFW area….bless you for your concern.💕
It hit us with a speed I’ve never experienced. Sudden and fierce. We were lucky. Lights flickered, dimmed, but no outages which we were expecting. Tornado sirens.
I told GrandpaM last night that we looked across and saw transformers arcing. Could hear the electrical humming which is never good. He lost power for a while and he is much further south than we are. It’s still too early to know what damage has happened on surrounding areas.
After a frightening half hour, the ferocious winds had moved through, leaving all night rain.
So come on, worshipers of Gaia, controllers of all weather!! Where were ya??.(didn’t think so 😎)
Good morning sis! So happy to hear that you fared well in the midst of the storm (isn’t that always a good statement even spiritually?)! We were forecasted for the same weather up here in Oklahoma, but it seems that as they traveled north, they lost some of their punch! So there are prayers of thanks up here too! 🙏
Worried about you and all in Oklahoma. Had to wait till this morning in hopeful prayer to see shining faces.🙏🏻
(I was so touched by your reply to me last night, dearest friend. And I’m afraid I left you a lengthy one in return, which I hope you saw…I let it all spill out😉💕)
Morning juststevie, praise the Lord, y’all didn’t get the brunt of it. 🙌🙌🙌
That’s a relief , isn’t it Gramps
Everyone seems to be ok
Today
☘️🌸☘️
🙂
Good morning Bet. I’m glad you’re ok. The storms do come in fast; it happened in my area a few nights ago. Sounds like you had the same experience with the winds, tornado sirens, etc.
Morning, dear Joe😘 I did worry about you and juststevie where you both are. And yes again…remembered the other night in your area. Bright sunny day gave way to those sudden ominous deep dark skies. All one can do is hunker down and pray for all in the path.
This morning it is colder, but the sun is shining and no wind. Phew!!
I see that you got my posts from last night. 😀 Sounding off in the Hill Country. Still quite windy outside. Glad that y’all are safe.
All quiet here, except for the chainsaws hacking away at our neighbours’ severely damaged trees…see my post to Garrison above. 😬
Already did, dear sister. Checked the rain gauge this morning. We got all of 0.55 in of rain. Not complaining, thankful for every drop we get.
All rain welcome, Never know when we’ll get more. Agree!
Doing ok here in central Oklahoma. Lots of rain, but severe weather in Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas.
Your ok too Joe
You must see this kind of weather a lot

Good morning All,
I found the MyRadar app to be very useful when traveling.
Shows in real time approaching rain, snow squalls severe thunderstorms and severe alerts come up on your cell phone of imminent bad weather. It constantly follows your location, just like the government lol, and shows the weather all over the country.
It has a free version
The version for computers and laptops doesn’t seem very advantageous, just the cell phone version.
I love MyRadar – especially the feature where you can also turn on the wind display – shows direction and intensity.

Thank you, Rah. Having had family members in the Army, Navy, and Air Force I appreciated this memorial in memory of those fine service men . I have great respect for all our service men and women. You have served our country and deserve great respect!!! God Bless You for all you have done for our country,
Praying for good reports from the dr. on your daughter and that you and Sherry have a safe trip home.
We restored that cemetery and several others in the seven years I was on the Commission. There were several veterans in it, including one that was serving in a Virginia Militia and witnessed “The Rockets Red Glare” on that night when “Our Flag Was Still There”.
By “restore” I mean it was unfenced and in a cow pasture on a hill. First we had to construct a bridge across a stream that could hold heavy equipment. John Brundage found a large cast iron pipe that had once been used the Railroad to bridge a ditch. I arranged for a crane and used a flat bed from the family company business to transport it to thesite and then a crane lowered it in to place.
I then arranged for medium sized rip rap to be dumped on each side the fill the gap and it to be rolled. I then used the portable welding truck and torched out the side plates a then welded them on each end of the pipe to act as a kind. of guide for vehicles passing over. Then had #8 gravel dumped on it for the road surface.
With that done we could now access the cemetery with equipment.
The first thing was to probe the whole cemetery. Cattle are terrible on grave yards because they use the stones to scratch themselves. They eventually break them off and they get buried.
.
I drew up a grid layout on the drafting table at work. We used that to set up strings marking the grid on the ground. Using that system we could record where stones where found so they could be returned to their proper location when repaired and reset.
After moving all the stones and taking down the grid we had the cemetery graded and leveled out working around the stones that were still standing. We contracted for the fence and gate to be installed.
As that was being done we repaired the damaged stone with epoxy and aluminum frames.
Then we could reset up the string grid and reset the stones in their existing foundation stones that had been located when we probed.
Finally seeding with grass.
-en
And we had a restored cemetery in which several pioneers of the county were buried and which had an 1812 veteran and several civil war veterans and a WW II veteran in it. Thus the different contingents of re-enactors.

Admin; I am using a different computer today, my computer crashed last nite and I am having the awful challenge of trying to use my laptop. I don’t know if this makes a difference when I reply to another treeper. The laptop has not been out of the drawer for several years. Hope the repair people can fix my old one, It is windows 7 and no one wants to look at that. Thank you for taking time with my computer problem.
Hi Marti. The only difference using a different “device” makes is the IP#. You had to go through another “initial moderation” because our software didn’t recognize your new number as being affiliated with “you”. Hope you get everything fixed soon! 😀
Ad rem, if I use a different email do I just type the new email in the box and go through “initial moderation”?
Greetings Treepers!
I’m jealous. But hopefully in a proper way.
My Zoe, it seems, shall see His Blazing Face before me.
Prayers
There will be joy in the heavens when she arrives, dear Frank. We wait with you🙏🏻💕

Ryan Maue is one of those you should pay attention to when it comes to weather. He is a true scientist and that is the reason why he is no longer the Chief meteorologist at NOAA. He tells the truth as he sees it.
‘It’s like once-in-a-generation’: Former NOAA chief scientist puts recent West Coast snowfalls in historical context (msn.com)
BTW even Gavin Newsom had to give in and declare a state of emergency for 13 counties where people were trapped by the snow at the higher elevations and running out of supplies.
If the weather models are correct in their mid range forecasts California and the desert SW are in for more precipitation. It is going to be a wet spring. Combine that with the extremely heavy snow pack the reservoirs being full, and you have flooding and mudslides coming this spring.
You also have a tremendous sprouting of vegetation. That vegetation dies in the heat and dryness of the summer and what happens next? Wild fires! So don’t be surprised if there are a lot of fires out there this summer.
And of course you know what it will be blamed on. But in reality is just the natural cycle of events in the SW and completely predictable, the only thing unusual has been how much precipitation, both frozen, and unfrozen (think “Atmospheric River”) that they have had out there this winter and are forecasted to have this spring on top of the snow pack causing rapid melting of the snow pack at the mid range elevations.
And so the narrative in the press is rapidly changing from a “mega-drought” that “experts” claimed would last until 2030 due to climate change to massive flooding caused by climate change, and will eventually go to massive wild fires caused by climate change. They will of course consult with the same “experts” that have gotten it all wrong so many times before. It is what they do.
THE UNRELIEVED QUEST
“Feed My sheep.” John xxi. 17
This is love in the making. The love of God is un-made, it is God’s nature. When we receive the Holy Spirit He unites us with God so that His love is manifested in us. When the soul is united to God by the indwelling Holy Spirit, that is not the end; the end is that we may be one with the Father as Jesus was. What kind of oneness had Jesus Christ with the Father? Such a oneness that the Father sent Him down here to be spent for us, and He says – “As the Father hath sent Me, even so send I you.”
Peter realizes now with the revelation of the Lord’s hurting question that he does love Him; then comes the point – “Spend it out.” Don’t testify how much you love Me, don’t profess about the marvelous revelation you have had, but – “Feed My sheep.” And Jesus has some extraordinarily funny sheep, some bedraggled, dirty sheep, some awkward, butting sheep, some sheep that have gone astray! It is impossible to weary God’s love, and it is impossible to weary that love in me if it springs from the one centre. The love of God pays no attention to the distinctions made by natural individuality. If I love my Lord I have no business to be guided by natural temperament; I have to feed His sheep. There is no relief and no release from this commission. Beware of counterfeiting the love of God by working along the line of natural human sympathy, because that will end in blaspheming the love of God.

Good morning stevie
Glad to see you here this fine am
Wondering how you made out last night
Your here , so that’s good 🙂
And, good morning to you! 😊
Yes, we came thru just fine. We do ‘storm prayers’ here and they have kept us from any terrible disaster, praise God! Being as OK is in tornado alley! Thank you for checking up on me…nice! 🤗
Good morning, stevie. Glad you’re ok. Wild weather last night in your area and Arkansas. I was watching on a couple of livestreams.
Townhouse in Aberdeen Scotland ,Chambers birthplace
What a marvel you are, molon…finding all these wonderful photos which support the words which are posted. He would grown up in one of the coldest places in Scotland. And that is really saying something. I love their beautiful sturdy architecture. In Edinburgh, those stones are blackened through time and industry.
The late Queen adored Scotland, especially the Highlands where she would retreat any time she could. I suspect Rabbie Burns’ poem “My Heart’s in the Highlands” must have been a favourite. 💕

It’s a learning experience.
I dig

Dig it 🙂
☘️🌸☘️
And what you add is always reality , I mean real stuff.
It’s so nice.
I dig it.
Oh boy , remember when people actually said that, dig it 🙂
😂 Do I remember it?? You bet I do!!
Good morning, dear sis. Blessings go with you every minute of your day.🙏🏻💕
Thank you, juststevie, and sheep are pretty smelly, too. And if they carry 2 or 3 lambs, they usually needs help delivering, and the smell… And if they got foot rot the smell is even worse, but you’ve got to help them. How much more we need to help the Lord’s sheep?
To paraphrase, we’ve met the sheep, and they are us. 😁
We are sheep, G. In the loveliest way with a loving Shepherd guiding us🙏🏻💕
I imagine our sins stink to our Father like the foot rot. And you have to get the pruning shears and cut it out to healthy tissue. It hurts, but does the job of getting rid of it. And then the sheep go through a foot bath of copper sulfate leaving the fold and coming home.
Kind of like getting pruned and staying in God’s Word daily.
Luke 10:25-37 “And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?
And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.”
2 Timothy 3:1-7 “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away: for of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Jesus said, that the woman was forgiven because she loved much. Did He put her motives under the microscope to see if they were not just “natural posing as spiritual?” or did He receive her for the honesty and truth in her heart, which was expressed with her actions?
The words in the Original Text, are that Peter answered three times, Yes, Lord, I do have affection (Philo, not agape) for You. Natural affection out of a true heart! Otherwise I think no one would be counted as really loving Jesus according to this interpretation, before we are perfected in glory. Growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the process of our time here. As Paul told the Hebrews, that solid food is for them who have by reason of use, exercised their senses to discern good and evil. As we grow in the Lord, and increase in the Spirit, our understanding and our faith mature, and we come to the place in our development that we love (agape), even as our Father loves (agape). Meanwhile, we are learning, right?
Fabulous! That’s why old movies are so nice to watch.

Dearest friends , this is the Psalm from todays daily Mass
Psalm 130:1-8
R. If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, who can stand?
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to my voice in supplication. R.
If you, O Lord, mark iniquities,
Lord, who can stand?
But with you is forgiveness,
that you may be revered. R.
I trust in the Lord;
my soul trusts in his word.
My soul waits for the Lord
more than sentinels wait for the dawn.
Let Israel wait for the Lord. R.
For with the Lord is kindness
and with him is plenteous redemption;
And he will redeem Israel
from all their iniquities. R.
Gospel reading from todays daily Mass
Matthew 5:20-26
Jesus said to his disciples: “I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven.
“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, Raqa, will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.”

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Prov. 3:5, 6
Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Psa. 62:8
I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle. lest they come near unto thee. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked: but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. Psa. 32:8-10
Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. Isa. 30:21
If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. Ex. 33:15, 16

Walk as children of light. – Ephesian 5:8
The very nature of God is light. At the dawn of creation, hovering over darkness, God spoke the words that started the human story, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3). From that moment forward, light became the symbol of life and blessing, emanating from the Creator to His creation.
The prophet Isaiah, summarizing the human journey, said, “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone” (Isaiah 9:2). Every living person resides under God’s gracious light, the question for each soul is how to respond to it!
Some people love God’s light, allowing it to define and direct their journey, “For you have delivered my soul from death, yes, my feet from falling, that I may walk before God” (Psalm 56:13). Others find His light distressing, those “who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, rejoicing in doing evil and delighting in perverseness” (Proverbs 2:13-14).
God has been progressively illuminating Himself in greater detail throughout history culminating in the revelation of His Son as the pathway to fellowship with Him. “Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life” (John 8:12).
Pray for America’s public officials to be drawn to God’s light, finding the revelation in His Son Jesus Christ and the courage to live and work in that knowledge.

Come Lord Jesus! One of the reasons the Luciferians had to remove Our President Donald J. Trump is he was after these global child terrorists killers!
Life Site is amazing, God bless and protect John-Henry Westen and all these warriors of Christ!
Lifesite is a wonderful resource, heather. I find all of Archbishop Vigano’s essays and addresses there.
And of course President Trump had to be gotten out of the way. He was interfering in Satan’s acolytes’ harvesting of our gifts from God. These little ones who have seen Him last, as my mother in law always told my first born while she was rocking her.
Our innocents. Evil corrupts all it touches in order to distance His children further from Him. The younger they are, the better suited for its purpose.
And to that end, here is an article about the Bergoglian anti-papacy which I stumbled on today on the excellent site Frontpage Magazine. Vigano is mentioned. To not do so would be a terrible omission.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Good morning, dear duchess. Blessed be your whole day and all the days after🙏🏻💕
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 wonderful widow lady that was our neighbor to the south of us is in a nursing home on HOPIS. I called home to my neighbor to the north, Steve, and he told me she is not expected to make it more than 2 hours.
A wonderful sweet lady that insisted on staying at the home she and her beloved Hank built, until she was carried out feet first. That happened about 2 months ago when she fell and broke her hip and she has gone down hill quickly after that.
I sure am going to miss her.
Prayers up.
Oh rah, I did not know (remember?) that she fell and broke her hip! I am so sorry to hear that she is in ill health now. I hope she has family with her. Poor thing.
Off to a Friday fish fry at church
Have a great evening friends

I have suddenly started having huge ads (Grumpy and Zulilly) that cover the whole page on this site; I have adblock and have never had this problem before. I use brave, but this has not been a problem before. Please advise, I’m a not-very-techy senior. Thanks to anyone who has a suggestion
Hello
I can’t help with tech savvy stuff but I can tell you that I have turned off any ad blockers I may have had and I just simply hit the x
when ads appear . It doesn’t take much, just one click .
The reason I turned it off is so this website gets credit with the ads. If it helps the tree it’s ok with me . I think if you have an ad blocker on the site does not get the hit . Could be totally wrong .
Not real sure
Thanks, Molonlabe. I appreciate your perspective that ad hits help the Treehouse. After I get it fixed (hopefully with the input from MMW below), I may re-think the issue of adblockers.
Wish I could offer suggestion, L&F. I use brave too. Sorry
Assuming you have windows, you probably installed a program with some adware included in it that they may or may not have given you the option to opt out of…. if it was freeware dump it… spyware is how they pay for freeware.
Look in your recently installed applications, remove the one that was installed when the problem started happening.
(from memory) start>settings>installed programs>sort programs by install date>
If you find and need that application, reinstall and carefully READ the click thru boxes, one may be of that adware that pays them to spy on you that you can opt out of, otherwise find a different program, if you purchased program, you could try to return but usually opened software is not returnable if they disclosed in the fine print on box before you purchased.
This is the sort of thing that caused me to move to Linux Mint & Brave, more complicated to initially set up tho, once set up hard to tell the difference from windoz except it rarely crashes and boots in 10 seconds instead of 10 minutes.
Alternatively, I have used <trendmicro’s free online virus scanner>, keep in mind this is to try to get you to buy their other tools and virus utility, AVG works fine and is free, tho they want to up-sell you other tools just like Trendmicro.
Download <Housecall> > run housecall once downloaded> follow their directions > depending on what it finds it may fix them for free, otherwise it could at least point you in a direction to follow.
Hope this helps
Thank you MMW, for your detailed reply; I will share this info with my son…and not touch the laptop until he takes a look at it!
Good morning Treepers
