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 †

Does this fit with your powerful devotional today, WP? I believe it does.
😎
Nothing is too small for gratitude…
But what Christ did for all of us?
We owe Him all.🙏🏻💕
I think it does, Betsy.😊
I usually just read and thumbs up. But felt inclined to say hello and how much I enjoy the Tree house and Treepers. Good morning to all.
Good morning, Rusted. I am so glad you paused to post😊 I’m not kidding…that’s put a smile on my face.
I’m not a believer in coincidences. I discovered that meme yesterday and I saved it, so forcefully did it strike me. I knew one day I would find a place for it. But that WP’s devotional this morning would provide a home for it so beautifully and immediately?
Nope…no coincidences.🙏🏻😊
When told one thing, do the opposite…every cat’s mantra😂
And “some” children. 😉😉
Hahaha!!! No kidding😂
Thank you Betsy. You always put a smile on my face when I read your posts. It was definitely providence your coming across that meme. It fit perfectly with WP’s devotional.
Oh yes…just the right word, Rusted
And you are most welcome.😊
Hi Bet. I’m back home. Took care of some busyness and sat with my wife for awhile. She didn’t want to go to the dining room for dinner, which was ok with me. They brought her tray to her room and she ate everything! I didn’t have to help much; just kept an eye on her while she demolished a cheeseburger, fries, and dessert.
Made my day. Thank God for the small victories…
Hope you’re having a blessed and wonderful day.
Oh Joe. This is wonderful. A perfect example of how something we all take for granted can be the biggest blessing.
I suspect I understand why she’d prefer to be in her own room. And her favourites. Not such a small victory, dear friend. One to be so thankful for. I am truly glad.🤗!!
Good morning Rusted, and welcome!
Thank you, GrandpaM. Lovely stopping in today.
Hello, Rusted! Thank you for the greeting to everyone – and please come again!
A picture is worth a thousand words, so they say!
Learning to be thankful is an on-going battle for most – or at least for me.
Oh, I say I’m thankful, and within a few hours, complain about the burnt hotdog at the ball field.
It’s a default reaction – and a hard lesson to learn – to reverse the natural response.
There’s hope though, even the apostle Paul said he learned to be content in whatever circumstance, whether in plenty or in want. Because Christ gave him strength to do so.
🌸 🌸
Always look on the bright side of life ☘️🌸☘️
I’m trying, Molon! You do, too!
How do I put this, Della.
Almighty God placed me where I am. I want for no more than I have. I have the things that matter most, physical and non. Are there sorrows and disappointments I’ve incurred I continue to work through and manage? Of course. So do all people. But on that basis, I am content. I know life is full of events for everyone which come unbidden. And so when they come for me, I pray God will give me the strength to deal with them.
But…
When I see people around the world in desperate trouble or need because of the malicious wars on all fronts prosecuted against them by their own governments; when I see pictures of people on the streets who are in terrible trouble (whether of their own making or by circumstances encountered); when I read about people enduring physical or mental afflictions which overwhelm them so badly that is a struggle just to get from one day to the next; when I see our unborn murdered, little children used and abused…I am not content. And I know I cannot fix any of it, and so, with faith I pray every day for His grace and mercies to rest on these who need Him most.
As Corrie ten Boom said in her beautiful poem, I have to leave the rest to Him.
And with that, I must be content.
Thank you so much, dear sweet soul for your comment. It allowed me reflect and to explain my gratitude for everyday blessings…large, small, and especially those I do not know of but which I am certain are there for everyone. 🙏🏻💕
Your beautiful testimony is touching, Betsy, and God gave you this wisdom and insight.
It is not human understanding, but spiritual. A gift from Him!
I’m similar in your thinking, too. I’m content with my lot in life – and no, it hasn’t been perfect, or a bed of roses. But it is what God ordained for me, so I can rest in that.
He knows best. And He is always good.
I wonder if aging helps us with accepting what we’ve been given?
But I do yearn for those things that matter eternally: family, friends, those in our sphere to be saved, to live holy lives in a manner worthy of the Lord; and, for all evil to be gone!
Hope my post didn’t come across as ungrateful – I really do like burnt hotdogs! 😉😉
I appreciate your heartfelt comment, as it got my gears in motion, too.
💕
No ma’am, your post did NOT come as that!
That was just me spillin’ what has been very much on my mind these days. You gave me a chance to put thoughts to keyboard, which is so much better than having them running amok in my head.
And yes! I think aging has a great deal to do with it. Looking at where we’ve been, where we are, and with hopeful anticipation of where we are going…Almighty God in His mercy.
…and I like burnt toast😁 More flavour!😘
“Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!”
Love this hymn so much, silent!
Mind if I add to stanza?
“Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of his Spirit, washed in His blood
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long”
Perfect for Friday evening! Love his smooth voice – and he’s from Georgia, ha!
Have you heard his song, “The Older I Get”
I like that, too. Not sure how to post it.
I’ll look for it! Love his voice too…Smooth is right.
🙂
Blessed Assurance | The Great Controversy | Fountainview Academy
Unbelievable talent in these young people! I do hope that is their song, and will be His witnesses.
Thanks for this, Michael!
WP: What book is this from? I loved it!
When reading through the entire Gospel of John, one will notice how many times “eternal life” is mentioned and when it is mentioned often near by are the words or reference to “no condemnation”.
We are towered over by Forgiveness (no condemnation) & Eternal Life.
Only one answer…because God loves us! ✝ We must acknowledge Him for that!
(Sorry, spelled my name wrong…LOL)
Hahaha!!!! That sort of day, was it??😉
Hello Fellow Treepers!
“Skedaddle!” A fawn shoos off a turkey the better to look for piles of breakfast corn around the yard with no competition. Meanwhile, the rising sun reflects off a small creek. Photo taken by me years ago in the Hocking Hills of Southern Ohio.
Hope everyone is able to enjoy a nice warm breakfast on this cold winter morning, especially anyone affected by the arctic air and snow storms. Wishing all here a wonderful day!
A lovely photo, phoenix. I had to take a second look after the first to see those turkeys. We had a similar scene from our kitchen and morning room windows during our Welsh snowy winters…but the birds wandering in our garden were pheasants. Odd man out amongst those was our adopted peacock, Joey.
A very serene setting it was, just like your peaceful picture.
Thank you kindly, Betsy jones! Oddly enough, we used to get pheasants in our backyard in the Buffalo, New York area many years ago.
Buffalo!
Now that’s could.
Good morning phoenix.
I see a bluebird box in your photo. Have a few of them in my yard. I must remember to get the next ones with metal lining the holes , silly squirrels think they can bite their way in ☘️🌸☘️
Good morning Molonlabe! May many Bluebirds of happiness make themselves at home in your yard! 🙂
Good morning, my friend. The squirrels who normally feast on the acorns off our oaks had none this year …not one acorn appeared. I have never seen that happen.
So we fed them, as well as our birds. Chez Jones never turns a customer away. 😁
Hi Betsy,
How much do you think the squirrels would enjoy hazel nuts in lieu of acorns??? (nibble emoji).
-P
Hey, parichute! Probably much more…the champagne of nuts😁!!
Hello Molon! We have bluebird boxes, too! Hubs makes them by a pattern and uses metal around the opening.
Noticed this morning, three bluebirds are trying to get into one of the boxes. Three’s a crowd, right!
Hopefully, they’ll get it sorted out!
Spring can’t be far away – says creation…
🌸 🌸
Morning, Southern friend💕. Colkitto has his bluebird boxes as well. He tends to them devotedly.
Our red buds are awash with blossom such as I have never seen. We always found in Wales that the more bitter the winter, the brighter the spring. I always think of Christ’s resurrection in the spring…
Hello, sweet friend, and those red buds must be a lovely sight!
We don’t have those, and wish we did. I want one of everything in the spring!
It’s all so glorious, and you’re right – new life budding everywhere reminds us of Christ.
He is risen!
Thanks be to God…
You may not have redbuds, but I’ll bet you’ve got dogwoods.
When I lived in East Texas I did love seeing them. A sign of hope and resurrection.
https://bowerandbranch.com/blogs/all-about-trees/the-legend-of-the-dogwood
Oh my heart! So beautiful, Betsy!
I’m going to keep this for a screensaver…
Yes, we have those, and dearly love them.
The legend about the dogwood and Jesus’ resurrection is so sweet, too.
I’m sure it’s just a story, but such a great one – whoever came up with it had imagination!
When I saw this photo, I actually wondered about where you are, suspecting that it might have been taken in your neck of the woods.
But then again, I make up my own stories…😎
And I as well gazed at it for a long long time…
Yes, Georgia has lots of beautiful scenery like this, especially out in the countryside, or mountain areas.
We have wild dogwoods in the woods, too. White flowers.
We planted a pink dogwood in my yard fifteen years ago, but it died. Not sure why.
Those pink blooms are so pretty.
And, I love your stories, Betsy. Keep them coming! 🌸🌸
Growing up ma’am my family had a large Pink Dogwood growing right outside the kitchen picture window. I always hung a suet there and the various bird species that either perched to grab some suet, the berries, or just a rest was amazing. I would get the best looks ever as the trunk was only 15 or so feet away from the window. I miss that tree and the huge Tupelo that was also in the yard. The birds loved that tree and its fruit as well.
Wonderful memory, C. and perfect spot to watch the show!
Better than any thing on the screen, right!
Sounds like that may have been the start for your bird passion…
🌸
A childhood I wish our young could have…sigh…
🤗 !!
Absolutely beautiful!! Like Miss.Dells, I’m saving this picture!
Isn’t it glorious, Rusted???
I want to go there
Now
☘️
I do too, Molon. I feel more peaceful simply looking at it.
Gorgeous! I wish that was the long driveway to my demesne situated on a couple of thousand acres though I would settle for 100 or so. I so wish……………………
If take a 100, too, Colkitto. Can’t get greedy🤗
Spring is coming to brighten things up.
In the meantime , your kind friendship brightens things up too .
Thank you for being a friend, it means a lot .
And all the rest of my friends here too , you have no idea how much your kindness and friendship means to me . ☘️🌸☘️
Thank you so much, Molon, that’s humbling.
I am -and all in the Tree -are delighted you’re here!
You are a kind, gentle soul…
So happy we got to “meet.”
One day we’ll all “see” each other in heaven – for eternity!
But for now – we reach out to one another in friendship and loving kindness from our hearts to the keyboard.
Crazy, huh?
🌸🌸🥰
We are a special place, my friend. All are welcome and treasured…
So glad you are here💕
So glad to be here .
I’m reading so much more scripture, everyday I can’t wait to get up and talk to Stevie and duchess and all of you , and listen to stories from Garrison and grandpa . And sharing heartaches and trials with rah and all the rest . So much of it , feels right. ☘️🌸☘️
One just knows when something is right. Natural. Connections with like souls. Nothing better in this strange and unfamiliar world we are in.
Looks like art from a Fairy Tale book.
Thanks, Poyeema! Exactly why this was my favorite bed and breakfast spot … imagine the whole area looking like this!
I love the golden water. It tells you the day is young, bringing you into the scene.
Thank you very much, AnAppeal2Heaven! This was what you got instead of a normal sunrise, since the whole farm was enclosed in a valley. You wouldn’t see the actual sun until long after it rose over the hills and treetops.
Good afternoon, phoenix. That is a great photo of the hens out scrounging for their lunch. Just fatten one of them up for Thanksgiving Dinner. Let the venison grow a little bit, at least a year or two. Have a great day.
Good to see you Marti,
Thanks for the compliment! And it’s an interesting response, because if I remember right, the bed and breakfast owners once remarked that local hunters disapproved of them feeding the deer and turkey but they went ahead and fed them anyways. (It’s possible I misheard something.)
Anyways, there used to be a restaurant near me that held a special Wild Game Night weekend once a year. I used to go two days in a row and order extra meals to take home so I had plenty of elk, venison, bison, and wild boar to feast on for a little while. The quail was so popular that it was rationed and I always ate my portion immediately in the restaurant! 🙂

So Sweet !
Hi , Leon 🙋♀️
I had to Laugh at
Kitty #3 , bottom of picture 😄
Just like my Kitty Kat , if she can see the Bottom of the Bowl (no matter How Much Food is Mounded Up Around the Bare Spot) her Bowl is *Empty* .
She moves on until her human puts more food in the bowl OR scoots the food in the bowl over to cover the bare spot 😄
She hasn’t caught me doing That yet 😎
18 bowls? Keeping cat servers employed!
Love the way they are all lined up.
I wonder , when the first one that’s finished eating , does that one try helping the others finish up?
☘️
Could get ugly
Just sayin
☘️
Look, there is already one working on another’s bowl even though it has some remaining in it’s own.
Wait a minute , Rah !
The *Helper’s* Bowl is
Empty whether there is Food there or not .. You can See the bottom of the
bowl !
Not Allowed by my Kittie !
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Mornin’ jay 🙂
Good morning, Garrison. Just a drive by greeting before turning in…again😎
Mornin’ Betsy. 🙂 Spent the better part of yesterday buying and installing new deadbolt door locks—had a prowler, a most unwelcome experience. The guy didn’t steal anything, but he did leave a visible clue that he’d been in my house. I live in an upscale neighborhood which just goes to show that nobody is really safe anymore. My house is now secure and I’m looking into outside security. While I am well armed, I’m also quite alone and quite old—in some people’s eyes that makes me a perfect victim. My inner redneck tells me that ain’t gonna’ happen despite my being an old guy at the end of the street .
Good morning Garrison! Another reason for a doggie. It will sound the alarm so you’ll be ready to “welcome” the intruder.
How did that old saying go, never get into a fight with an old man. If he can’t beat you up he’ll just shoot you.
Stay safe, friend!
Good morning, my brother😘. I just said the same about a sharp eared dog before I saw your post.
My husband says young guys are stupid to mess with old guys. Old guys don’t play around – they go straight for the kill when attacked. They know their bodies will betray/give out on them any second, so they have to do it fast.
I’ve seen it said old guys are old for a reason…truer than those younger understand.
Good morning Garrison. Were you away from your house when this happened? Or inside? I know Oklahoma has the “Make My Day” law; not sure about Texas. I kept having to get past the “I’m not a robot” box when trying to look at the list of states.
You might consider getting a dog; even a chihuahua will make a lot of racket if someone comes on your property. Mine does anyway.
And of course, there are other measures we utilize for personal security…..(ahem).
Glad you’re ok buddy.
My study is separate from my house. The intruder made sure I was in my study. For convenience I was in the habit of leaving my back door open. My yard is fenced so I (wrongly) assumed it was safe to continue a practice I’d been doing literally for the 3 decades we’ve been in this house. Until now. This happened twice within 3 days. The same kind of stealth entry, nothing of value stolen except for a couple of conspicuous minor items—the intent of which was to tell me he’d been in my house.
I take this very seriously. This is not about swag petty theft. It’s about power. I hope there isn’t a pathology akin to stalking at work here . . .
As I say I’m quite well armed, the house is now much more difficult to enter. I may be an old guy, but I’m not at all timorous. Let’s hope the guy gets discouraged and moves on.
That is rather frightening, Garrison. We’ve been lax about our doors as we also have felt quite secure where we are. We’ll be rethinking our habits. Thanks for sharing. We also are old.
I always told my grands nearest me to refer to people our age as “older”, not old.
So, for example, not “old man” or “old woman”, but rather ” older gentleman” or “older lady”.
And this they do…
For I am an older lady (on the outside anyway. Inside I am still a spring chicken😎).
This made me smile, Betsy, that you have taught your grands well!
I keep stressing to my grands that good manners will help them in life – even simple ones like: please, thank you, yes/no sir, yes/no ma’am and so on.
My grandparents trained me that way, and I appreciate it.
Started them.out with the phrase “Manners Maketh Man.” They loved saying it and little lessons followed.
How right you are, Della. If we don’t teach them civility, we do them no favours. We older ladies do have out purposes, doncha know.😁
🤗
IN your house??!??! Oh, Garrison! You are so right…no one is safe…no one.
When I remember the times when locking ones doors was so unnecessary, this makes me feel ill. Do you have any security cameras? We finally had to put one up, got it from IGeek. Dear friend, keep your protection within reach. I do understand the point you made about your age. We are older as well. Whoever it was, just stole your peace. The most valuable thing you own. Unforgivable and worrisome.
You need a canine friend who will alert you when there is something to alert you about…🙏🏻💕 I am so so dreadfully sorry.
Just a suggestion. 😎
Door mat here says “Don’t knock, we know your here. We have dogs.”
Good!!!
Excellent! 🙂
I was thinking of looking for a mature border collie. Before Sweetie and Scamp, we had a foundling Siberian Husky named, appropriately enough, “Chuckie”. He was a very noisy back-yard guard. He’d apparently had guard-dog or military training because I came outside one day to find Chuckie had the meter-reader backed up against the car in a guard-dog “hold” position. He didn’t let guy move until I called him off . . .
You’ve been contemplating a while, haven’t you, my friend? The time may be now. As awful, truly, terrible as your story is, perhaps the message is being delivered…🙏🏻
I feel to my core the dog you need…and who needs you…is just waiting. 💕
you can’t be too vigilant–last week as I was “cleaning” the backyard I found a small flashlight, a nice one near my back deck. Why was it there? No reason for it. Bothers me as we live in an older neighborhood where nothing happens.
Sorry to hear about your sneaky visitor … makes me angry!
Some people have no fear, no shame, and no respect.
Our society “used” to give honor to the aged – now, they’re looked down on.
(not by everyone, but many)
Since I’m in the “older” category, I realize how easy it can be for some crazy to take advantage and try to minimize risks. But still …
Sounds as if you’re doing all the necessary, G.
Please take care. 🙏🏻
I’m just concerned about the “visible sign”…
Absolutely; however, he did “see” it and has been able to prepare accordingly.
Not a sitting duck now, so to speak.
That was God.
🙏🏻
Of this is there is no question!
I will Della. While I sometimes find myself lacking the required “situational awarness” when I’m moving slowly across parking lots, I’m not dumb enough to just presume that all is well simply because nothing has happened—today. Believe me I’m not taking any of this lightly.
🙂 🙏🏻
If you’re not sure of getting a dog yet, maybe one of those sensors that trigger a mean dog barking noise would do the trick. Amazon.com: Dog Barking Alarm Motion Detector Outdoor Barking Dog Motion Sensor Alarm 1000 FT Range Barking Dog Alarm Motion Activated Home Security : Pet Supplies
Well I am thinking about hidden motion sensors that active a warning in the house when someone breaks the infrared beam. There’s a whole industry out there selling very innovative yard focused warning devices. I’m now looking at all of them . . . and of course, a good dog or dogs. Maybe another Chuckie.
We have those on the front of the house. They work. I know when someone comes on the porch, and when the birds fly through too.😊
Howdy Garrison 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Good morning, Mr jay. Spring is just ahead, or so the calendar says…😊
Maidin Mhaith Betsy 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Good morning Bet! Hope you got more sleep. Didn’t have problem sleeping last night after a workout and then working in the vegetable garden yesterday. Got 11 tomato plants in and a cucumber. Still have the peppers left to do, and then some zucchini, cantaloupes and watermelons. And pray that we don’t get a late freeze. ❤️😘
Good morning GrandpaM. I’m up at night for a few hours, then will sleep for a few hours. Lucky if I get 5 hours of sleep at a time. I just got up (again) about an hour ago. Let the big girls out, turn on the coffee pot, then see what’s happening on the ‘net.
Close to freezing here; 37 degrees and sunny.
Have a great day; hope your garden veggies do ok.
Good morning Joe! The lack of sleep kinda goes with being growed up. 😁
We did…eventually. The problem is that though our bodies tell us the time to call it a day, the brain doesn’t pay any attention to that. Needed to find the off switch…I don’t think there is one😉
Oh goody! Tomats, as my mother in law used to call them. I hope no freeze as well, though whoever knows as strange as the seasons have been playing out.
My sister in law is now snowed in in Wales with an arctic blast. Fortunately, she has friends who check on them and provide whatever they need.
I’ve told the story of planting all my tender annuals there on May 31 one year only to wake up on June 1 to an overnight freeze and feet of snow. The truth of the old saw “Ne’er cast a clout till May is out” was brought home in an instant. You are probably safe in Texas though (she said crossing every single digit😁). 💕
I remember that story. We’ve had plenty of late freezes. I reckon if need be we’ll cover.
That’s all you can do. Be prepared.👍🏻
Good morning, Bet. I’m up again and slurping coffee while typing. Gorgeous spring like day outside and somewhat on the chilly side. 41 degreesF and sunny. I have to run one more errand before I visit my spouse, but no hurry.
Happy Friday and have a blessed day.
Thank you, Joe. Springlike here as well. If this were our weather through the summer I’d be dancing!!😎
Morning jay!
Howdy Gramps, seeing any sign of spring? 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Absolutely, everything is green down here even with the minuscule amount of moisture that we’ve had. But the Lord will provide.
Amen 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Just to summarize the absurdity of the COVID vaccine true believers:
regarding that warp speed COVID vaccine…
Rushed, guaranteed to succeed, corruptly tested, experimental injection? ✓
That killed and maimed well-over a thousand people during the severely abbreviated trial phase? ✓
And also caused 23 spontaneous abortions and 75 serious clinical events from 270 expectant mothers during said trial? ✓
Using a highly dangerous mRNA tech that in the past killed every mouse with ADE? ✓
A tech previously untested on humans, the emergency usage of which upended over a century of vaccine safety and efficacy research? ✓
For a virus far less deadly than the lockdowns themselves? ✓
Also less deadly than the flu – which conveniently went AWOL when COVID hit the scene? ✓
For a (cold) virus they’ve been unable to cure after over a century of trying? ✓
But somehow all of a sudden, the criminal pharmaceutical companies – notorious for rampant felonious trial fraud – figured it out in less than a year? ✓
And then went on to manufacture billions of quality assured, safe and effective doses at record speed which were then lawfully distributed by the US military? ✓
People actually bought into this on a grand scale, and voluntarily injected this poison? ✓
There is a slightly expanded version of this essay with embedded references which will appear upon clicking my user name.
Hope you guys are faring well.
Praying for those who have taken the vax, may the Precious Blood of Christ flow through their veins to cleanse them, reverse any damage caused by the vax, restoring and keeping them in good health. Asking this in Jesus’ name. Amen
Agree 100%. That was among the most difficult article i’ve written.
Upon publishing it I mentioned to a very good friend: This is a tough one, though, because the people who took the vaccine are victims of overwhelming propaganda.
It is heartbreaking – my whole family took it with few exceptions.
Prayer can change things, and miracles still happen.
Amen, Phoenix. I have several family members, and my sweet granddaughter, in the medical field who took the vax. I pray for all who did so.
Joining you in prayer specifically for the good health your family members including your granddaughter, Rusted! And for you too!
Long time, no see, griever. It’s so good to find you here this morning with your diligent work about what deliberate evil which resides deep within this (not our) government has brought to bear on everyone, injected or not.
Because we all know someone, friends or beloved family, who is. I’ve read too many heartbreaking stories from people who comment here. And those include stories from friends who have been cruelly cut off from those they love.
As I said to Garrison above about intruders stealing his peace, I say the same here with this. And the worst is that there is no going back from any of it.
Unforgivable…UNFORGIVABLE.
Very good to see you too Betsy. Thank you and well said.
Tragedy is not a strong enough word to describe what has happened and will happen to all those deceived into taking the injection, and vengeance is not a strong enough to describe what the perpetrators of this unimaginable crime deserve.
I’d say atrocity, my friend. As are all crimes against humanity.
Is that even a thing anymore? Or, as with a phrases, words, and language in all its forms, is it because those who seem to be in command decided it is passé?
Because it is exactly that. Monstrous and deliberate…democide.
Dr. McCullough states that a natural enzyme called Nattokinase has been shown in a study to degrade the spike protein in the covid19 vaccine. There are supplements with this compound on the market.
Excellent, thank you.
Food for thought: https://bitchute.com/video/dHwgte2MIn5e
Superb, griever. I saw this yesterday and had the intent to post it. Thank you!!
Adding to or deleting from the Bible. Those who are culpable have no idea…
Saw that… marked it.
“Hang around this lagoon often?”
You stole this from “A Liberal’s Guide To Dating Conservatives”, right? 😁
Oh my. What is going on here?
a gallery of Democrat atrocities, would be my guess
A pamphlet against inbreeding, looks like.
These are terrific songs………………..was raised on ‘Cherokee Shuffle’ and ‘Stay A Little Longer’. Thank you for the stroll down Memory Lane!

Emerson should have waited it out. He made it to 72.
re Jessica Williams. Great ears for the unique Thelonious Monk. I didn’t know she had passed.
Monk was on another level. His playing drew me to the clubs again and again to see and hear.
Like this opening clip, which some fan covertly filmed from a close table…
Hmmm. The same demon?

O CHRIST THE LAMB OF GOD, THAT TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD
In the Communion service, the pastor repeats Christ’s words from the Last Supper, as reported in Matthew 26:
Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
After we hear these words and before receiving Christ’s body and blood, we sing a prayer to Christ, the Lamb of God. The term comes from John the Baptist, as in John 1:
The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is preferred before me, for he was before me.’ I didn’t know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel.”
John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him. I didn’t recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘On whomever you will see the Spirit descending and remaining on him is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’ I have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
This brings us up to 14:50 in the video. Next to be highlighted: final parts of the service.
A blessed Friday to you.
Good morning 1530!
Morning, GrandpaM.
American Dipper. Incredibly this little bird species dives underwater.
The American Dipper walks along the bottom of the streams; the Sierra Mountain streams are very cold water streams, coming from snow melt.
Ty and Monti for the added info. Alas I have never seen one, hope to someday. On my list. Fascinating birds.
Observed many of these beauties while pursuing a former passion for trout fishing streams. Beaver ponds in the Rockies are another wealth of wildlife fun. If you approach stealthily and remain motionless expect to see a wondrous display at beaver ponds.
Good morning, Colkitto. A very nice one to start the day. I am off to gwelli Welsh for “bed”). Like Douglas MacArthur, I shall return.😁
Hopefully you won’t take as long. Two and a half years without him was sheer hell for the Philippines.
😂!! Back again, Jim. For better or worse.
Nos da.

I have saved this just for you. Knowing your love of St Francis. Found weeks ago when you seemed to be elsewhere. I loved this…A recipe for living🙏🏻💕

And the “Prince of Wales” is a stolen title of the English monarchy. Wales was never subdued by the English.
No, it was not.
Fascinating to watch these little guys in the Rocky Mountain streams. They bob up and down standing on a stone or what not before diving again and are quite vocal.
Genesis 1:20-23 “And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.”
Ever notice that before? Interesting! God created the birds out of the waters! What else could it mean? Can God create life of every kind from out of whatever elements He decides?

HAVE A MESSAGE AND BE ONE
“Preach the word.” 2 Tim. iv. 2
We are not saved to be “channels only,” but to be sons and daughters of God. We are not turned into spiritual mediums, but into spiritual messengers; the message must be part of ourselves. The Son of God was His own message, His words were spirit and life; and as His disciples our lives must be the sacrament of our message. The natural heart will do any amount of serving, but it takes the heart broken by conviction of sin, and baptized by the Holy Ghost, and crumpled into the purpose of God before the life becomes the sacrament of its message.
There is a difference between giving a testimony and preaching. A preacher is one who has realized the call of God and is determined to use his every power to proclaim God’s truth. God takes us out of our own ideas for our lives and we are “battered to shape and use,” as the disciples were after Pentecost. Pentecost did not teach the disciples anything; it made them the incarnation of what they preached – “Ye shall be witnesses unto Me.”
Let God have perfect liberty when you speak. Before God’s message can liberate other souls, the liberation must be real in you. Gather your material, and set it alight when you speak.

Greetings Molonlabe! OC has a way of simply explaining the obvious! At least for me!
Hoping your day is radiant with His Love…🤗🙏✝
Good morning, sweet friend. I’m a little slow getting going this morning. Used to be faster…alas.
What a wonderful offering is this Chambers this morning. As someone said elsewhere “Lord, use me up, according to Thy will.”
And I know and trust He will do so.
He is still hammering out the “dings”, but one day I pray…
I am leaving for you this most lovely second movement from Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G to ease you into what I hope will be a restful weekend. It always does wonders for my peace.💕

The Lord’s Prayer ‘is truly the summary of the whole gospel.’ ‘Since the Lord… after handling over the practice of prayer, said elsewhere, ‘Ask and you will receive, ‘ and since everyone has petitions which are peculiar to his circumstances, the regular and appropriate prayer (the Lord’s Prayer) is said first, as the foundation of further desires.’
– Tertullian, De orat.
from the Catechism of the Catholic Church; 2761.
Good morning friend!
Another good morning, my friend💕 How magnificent is this window? I have no words.
Thank you from my heart for all you have added to this church of ours. Gifts of sublime and spiritual beauty.😘
Good afternoon Bett
I left a message for you late last night. I wanted to ask you to please call your son and tell him how proud you are of him , and tell him Molonlabe is too .
☘️🌸☘️
I will certainly do that, sweet friend. How kind you are. May God shower you with all His blessings.💕
Be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love. – Ephesians 5:1-2
God’s family is precious. Once you have placed your faith in Christ’s atoning work, you are adopted into the family of God, you are His beloved child. Young children are great imitators of their parents, and a child in God’s family should be as well.
The apostle Paul encourages the believer to adopt the new life in Christ. “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32). These are godly qualities that are only accomplished under the influence of the Holy Spirit. To “walk in love” (Ephesians 5:2) is a Christ-like lifestyle. The impact of Christian love can be far-reaching.
Love in the family of God creates community, believers together with the same goals in mind – to give glory to God in all they do. In that vein, love will prompt obedience to the Lord. Love will provide motivation to think of others before yourself. It will move you to become more godly in your relationships, allowing the fruit of the Spirit to guide your everyday living (Galatians 5:22-23). Love is a stabilizing factor in relationships, allowing grace to permeate talk and actions.
Paul assures the believer that “God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us” (Romans 5:5). This is what makes imitating the Lord possible. As you study scripture, fellowship with other followers of Christ, and pray, you will come to know what God is really like. You can only imitate when you know what He loves and what He hates. Pray that the people of this nation, especially its governing officials, will open their hearts to hear God’s message in His Word.
https://www.presidentialprayerteam.org/daily-prayer-briefing?utm_source=daily_briefing&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=daily_briefing&utm_content=daily_briefing
Though all governing officials show us daily that they do not in truth know Him, I will continue to pray one day that they will know Him assuredly. There is some heavy lifting to be done.🙏🏻

“God pulled you out of the pit, so you could go back in and get more people out.”
I hope with each passing day, your strength is returning.
Amen! If the average bozo remembered that all life is carbon based maybe they’ll get the idea behind “reducing the carbon footprint “.
As has been said often, we are the carbon they want to reduce.
You are so right, dearest friend.💕
CO2 is essential for life on earth as we know it. No alarmists that I have seen will answer the question of exactly what level of atmospheric CO2 is optimal for life.
Instead we’re fed the line that “renewables” can provide the necessary amount of relatively cheap energy that a developed nation requires to thrive and prosper when all the evidence so far makes it clear that given the current technology, they can’t.
As I write this the UK has fired up two coal fired electric generation plants because even the very expensive import of energy across the channel and paying people to lower their use of electricity during peak hours has failed to prevent the possibility of grid collapse.
It is snowing, the wind is not blowing, and the skies are cloudy and it is cold, so wind and solar has been producing less than 3% of the minimum power needed.
Studies made on individual human cells illustrate that a programmer/creator had to be. In so many words Darwin states that life is just one big accident after another…..I say he had an accident at both ends the day he recorded his THEORY.

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.

Dearest Father, Abba Father, bless each one Your gifts given to us. Help us to protect those precious lives, all of whom have seen You last. Lord have mercy on our children who have no one but us to protect them on this earth. I ask in the Holy Name of your beloved Son Jesus Christ, Who was once a child Himself🙏🏻
Yes, yes and yes. For too long now the children of the USA have been neglected and abused in ever increasing numbers. Its a tragedy as is the failure to maintain the country our generation was blessed with.
Evil has always had them in its sights, monticello. It’s not hard to see it. All one has to do is look…and see. Moloch has demanded the sacrifice, and monsters have delivered.

Good morning all!
Excellent article on the American Thinker that comports with my view on the war in Ukraine.
The US’s March of Folly in Ukraine – American Thinker
In my view, all the weapons that the west is sending is not going to make a difference in the ultimate outcome. They will increase the casualties the Russians will take but the fact is for those tanks and other weapons to be used in an effective large scale offensive will require the creation of a well led, well trained, combined arms force the creation of which takes more than a few months.
My greatest fear is that the current corrupt Administration will deploy US forces to combat there. Ukraine is not worth a single American life and If NATO does that, then the potential for nuclear conflict becomes a much more realistic possibility.
Something that we, as the grandparents of draftable age grandsons pray will not happen.
If you happen to bank with Wells Fargo, or you receive Direct Deposits to your bank of choice via a third party payroll company who uses Wells Fargo, you may want to check your accounts today. I do not bank with Wells Fargo, but everyone in the company I work for has not received their paychecks. This seems to be nationwide at the moment.
Wells Fargo no longer does.
This is diabolical.They have, by their recent misstteps, outed themselves as untrustworthy and unstable.
Once I had my wages in, I would immediately be finding another bank. Warning signs…
…no longer does mortgages. Didn’t complete my sentence. Brain rushed ahead…
I once tried to open a bank account with Wells Fargo, but they told me I was dead, even though I was right there in person. It is a strange bank.
ID with picture as well, Ill bet.
When I opened my business, I shopped all the banks that were near me for starting a new business account.
Wells Fargo was the first that was struck off my list when it stated in the agreement that they charge for counting cash deposited after a certain rather low amount. Ha.. no thank you.
Branch manager made a stop to inquire who I was banking with after I was open for a while since they were across the street.
I told him… charging me to count deposited cash was a hard NO, his reply… we could waive that……LOL you might want to remove that restriction period.
Mornin’ all!
Silver spoon has a whole new meaning eh?
Good afternoon WeeWeed.
PSA Your FDA in over controlling government mode to limit farmer/ rancher access to antibiotics for animal treatment to veterinarian prescribed only to take effect June 2023.
Expect your meat prices to climb even higher and some poor animals to suffer. Calling in a veterinarian to get a prescription is cost prohibitive for most small producers.
Something as simple as economically treating a calf with scours which flushes the anti-biotics well before fully grown is now a costly and time intensive problem. Yet another ruling which will not bother Big Ag commercial producers but only small farms and ranches.
Big Government! The only ones who slaughter animals with lingering antibiotics in their system is likely Big Ag.
Looks from the picture as if Biden has horns growing. It would not surprise me.

ON THIS DAY in MISSIONARY HISTORY
10 March 1747 – Slave trader, John Newton, surrendered to Christ in the midst of a storm at sea. He went on to become an Abolitionist and a Minister of the Gospel, writing one of the world’s most beloved Hymns: “Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now I am found; was blind, but now I see.”
So I go out to get a few things and pickup McDonalds for lunch.
At Walgreens after I back into a parking space a middle age woman walks up to the passenger side and motions to put the window down. I put it down part way and she tells me that they wouldn’t sell her anything because she didn’t have an ID and then asked me to drive her across the street to get wind!
I of course refused.
At McDonalds a guy who was missing stuff in his order was at the end of the counter trying to get someones attention. I heard a stern female voice yell “Sir please get back in front of the counter!”. The Guy went off on her and told she was rude and all he wanted was all of his order! He apologized in general to the rest of us waiting for the outburst as he left.
Can’t get away from drama anywhere I guess. They tried to forget the apple juice for Alison’s Happy meal.
I then was headed home and at a busy light there was what appeared a perfectly healthy woman walking up and down trying to sell roses with a sign that said “Please Help, I have three kids.”
I sure will be glad when I get home!

I know. My parents were snowbirds at Port Charlot and that house, which is on a channel that connects to the bay and has a nice boat, is now a family vacation house.
I reckon that those of you along the eastern seaboard from N. Carolina on north have and idea of what is headed your way with two NorEasters in a row starting to hit.
But these two may be small time compared to what is coming Mon-Tues next week which has the potential to be like the Blizzard of 88. Very warm SSTs along your shores makes a perfect set up for it. The US GFS model is not picking up on it yet, but the European and Canadian sure are! But the weather that gets reported to you uses the GFS and so that is why I’m giving a heads up.
Thank you rah
Good news, soil is drying out after a wet fall and early winter, (western section state of Virginia.) After three dry spring seasons in a row we’ll take wet weather of any sort to start the crops which will need it soon.
Thanks, rah, for your due diligence on what is expected.

The girls are at the Mayo clinic today. The cancer is a rare type that attacks the smooth muscles and is on the smooth muscles that propel bile through the bile ducts in the liver. It is an aggressive cancer and so today Niki has had an MRI and CT today to see if it has metastasized and gone into her lungs or her brain.
We await results.
Praying that the Lord will completely heal Niki.
Stage 4. Originated in the smooth muscles of the inferior vena cava but largest mass is 3.2 cm on the muscles of the bile ducts. CT scan and MRI negative so it has not spread anywhere else.
This cancer generally responds well to Chemo and radiation.
Prognosis unclear until after treatments begin but people have lived a long time with this cancer. It all depends on how well the treatments work.
There are currently three study groups doing experimental treatments in the Mayo system and most likely Niki will end up in one of them.
They go back up to Mayo Monday for Niki to get a port put in and then treatments begin.
Until on various medications including low dose of Oxytocin.
I will call work Monday to tell them I will be retiring.
The time for retiring has come. You’ll want to be close and available. Godspeed, dear man.
Praying for all, rah.
May God give you all His peace and strength.
🙏🏻 ✝️
I am dreadfully sorry the news is what it is, rah. We are all here for prayerful support, which includes with humility asking for a miraculous healing for your girl.
