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 †

Good morning, blessed Frank Field. To our Lord, I commit your precious Zoe. May her memory be eternal and my your tears and mourning be comforted with many joyful memories and spontaneous belly laughs to wash away your tears, as you remember her fondly and lovingly. It is our greatest suffering, death. Jesus our Savior has conquered the grave. In Jesus’s Name I pray for you. AMEN

READY TO SERVE YOU!!!
My praying for this man’s deliverance from his enemies continues unabated.
I am certain the Bible which is so precious to him has given him the strength through Christ to stand upright to receive all that has been and is being hurled at him by his vile attackers. May his enemies come to know the Bible’s power as well.

Me, too, Betsy…
Only God’s strength sustains him. No man is strong enough for this great evil.
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. (9)
That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (10)
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
Thank you and God Bless You, Miss.Della.B! 🙂
Some call it destiny.
I believe:
-Divine providence
called on by The Lord, guided by The Holy Spirit, in The Name of Jesus Christ
-followed by choice.
What an honorable man
is
Donald John Trump.
✝️❤️🇺🇸
Amen Patience
I’ve often said, dear Patience, that Almighty God chooses his warriors. As He did David, as He did Paul. Flaws and all.
He knew us all before we were born and the plans He had for each one, to serve where we are planted.
I believe that President Trump spent his life preparing to serve this nation and her people, by Appointment.
Providence? Yes…I can accept that word for this moment.
Amen, Patience
Thank you and God Bless You, Betsy jones! 🙂
Wherever we are, dear phoenix, He will hear our prayers.💕
Yes and Amen, dear Betsy jones! 🙂
Amen!! God Bless our President Trump and give him the strength he needs to combat all the evilness being thrown at him.
I have been praying daily for President Trump —4:00- 5:00 am and 6:00-7:00 pm for years.
I am very focused on him as I ask God for Donald Trump’s protection and perseverance.
I will continue.
God bless all of you here!
I am praying for you, too! 🙏🇺🇸💕
Thank you and God Bless You, Lorrie Girten! 🙂

Thank you and God Bless You, Patience! 🙂
Thank you phoenix and raven for organizing.
I will do today (sun) 2-3p eastern.
Thank you and God Bless You, Slowcobra! 🙂
Thanks again phoenix.
That was a very powerful one hour of prayer, and it felt so good to represent this treehouse, every single branch, for a talk with God regarding faith, strength, and commitment (among other things) for my hour!
thanks again for organizing!
More thanks go to Raven, who thought of the idea in the first place and was the real leader. Hopefully, we’ll see more of Raven around the Treehouse!
It definitely has been a deeply rewarding and intense time of prayer, Slowcobra, (and is officially continuing until 8:00 AM Monday … someone signed up for an hour after that time, and I’m happy to have this additional hour covered in prayer by this volunteer as well!) 🙂 And if we who participated are already seeing blessings for ourselves, we can be assured that the Lord will also bless President Trump and the USA in this hour when we so need God’s help.
“When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will rescue him and honor him.”
~~ Psalm 91:15
I’ll sign up for 11:00 AM – Noon Eastern time today.

Thank you and God Bless You, Bananas! 🙂
THIS IS THE DAY OF OUR LORD – MARCH 19, 2023 – My report between the hours of 9 AM and 10 AM Eastern Standard time
Prayers and Fasting in Supplication for our President Donald J. Trump
First, I must reveal that I knew myself not as a prophet. I sought wise counsel due to mysteries being revealed to me – both in calamities and via dreams. Throughout life – deep and meaningful Spirit things were happening – and I sought understanding.
I was called out a “prophet” for no such ego in me exists and I abide in humility, yet stand as a warrior in adversity for my God is with me – He Will not leave me or ever forsake me. I believe Him as full Truth.
I do not create these occurrences, they just happen and I seek the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. I constantly seek His Will for my life. I call them my “David Prayers”. I fervently pray for His Divine Purpose in me to be revealed.
I bring you this as my report from my prayer hour on behalf of President Donald J. Trump.
I woke from my intermittent sleep at 8:45 AM as I took my place as a watchman on the wall. I had prayer hour 4 AM to 5 AM this morning, as well. It was effortless and I was not tired or weary. I draw my strength from the Lord. I am thirsty but in Him I am fully nourished.
I look for affirmations – signs and wonders that verify one upon another. I have found many this morning in my 2nd hour.
This morning, during the 9 AM hour, I woke to a pull to Isaiah 41 (New International Version – Woman’s Study Bible)
The power of God in this calamity (war) is revealed:
Then God reveals Who HE IS and why HE CAN make such claims:
Then God reveals who we are through all of this (Heads up! we are small, pitiful excuses for mini-gods, with zero understanding and knowledge of the greatest vastness of the Lord’s Control – and PRAISE GOD for THE BATTLE IS HIS – and we are His precious and much-loved children.) In God’s admonishment of Job:
In closing, Blessed is the one who God corrects, so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. (Job 5:17) From six calamities, He Will rescue you, in seven no harm will touch you. (Job 5:19-27)
I humbly submit this report to you in great length. I am compelled to write what I am led. There was so much more, but this is what I am led to share. The battle is His and in Him we find our rest, our justice, and our strength. He is not without full knowledge in the transpirings. We lean fully into Him 100% for His Deliverance. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
HALLELUJAH! PRAISE GOD!
What a wonderfully inspiring report! Glory to God! 🙂
Whoa!
(sigh 💖)
Well Halleluhah! So well
expressed. I receive it! Praises to our Lord Jesus.
MONDAY: Noon – 1:00 PM

Thank you to all of our treepers for your continues prayers for our President Trump. Special thanks and blessings to you phoenex for organizing this prayer vigil.
Hi Marti,
Thank you for your steadfast daily prayers for President Trump and his family!
This weekend prayer vigil was Raven’s idea and it was this Treeper who really was the leader who got the ball rolling and deserves the lion’s share of the credit.
put me down for 10 pm each evening (pacific time)
have been doing this already, nice to see there are many Prayer Warriors at work!
Thank you and God Bless You, Bessie2003! 🙂

John 15
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman. Every branch in Me that bears not fruit He takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, He purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except ye abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without Me you can do nothing. If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be My disciples.”
Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory.
That Your hand would be with me, and that You will keep me from evil.
Have a blessed Sunday, Treeper friends. This Treehouse Church benediction provides closure for our week . . . and then prepares us for yet another week. As we move into and through the coming days, always remember the reach and depth of Our Good Lord’s Love for us. Even if we’re are humble, even if we are troubled, even if we feel lost and alone, if we just reach out to Him we’ll find Our Lord’s Love. He’s just waiting for us to simply ask. Honest. 🙂
Sorry. Formatting won’t display the Shenandoah image. It should play, however. . .

Thank you Garrison. The Lord remember you, and fulfill all your petitions.
And Our Lord’s blessing to you too, Michael. Be well, friend. 🙂
Thanks, Garrison… three great choices for this morning.
🙂
Good morning Garrison!
Mornin’ Gramps! 🙂
Hello, Pa❣️❣️❣️
H Patience! Testing to see if I can switch emails when posting
You can switch, but you’ll have to endure “initial moderation”.
Already done, thank you Ad rem! 🙂
🙂
Blessings always, dear Garrison. Thank you for your faithfulness in delivering our benediction.
Especially today as we gird ourselves in spiritual armour, in the Word of Almighty God, as we pray for His mighty warrior angels to surround our President Trump to protect him against the machinations of those who do not know Him.
Good morning dear Bet! I’ll be heading out to church in a bit. Will check in here later. ❤️
Be well, my brother. See you soon.
And a huge amen to that, Bet. Interesting that President Trump’s poll #’s have risen despite his legal threat. Be blessed today, love.
Thank you, my friend.
I am honestly not surprised they have risen. What has been announced is raw ugliness which we once thought belonged in other countries we describe as third world. We have no moral standing to label other nations in that regard. Our gossamer thin cloak of invisibility has been well and truly ripped off.
Rank Berian persecution as I described it elsewhere. If this is being done to President Trump, those who are doing it will not hesitate to come for everyone else. Perhaps this reality is beginning to dawn on people.
First they came for…
***********
Hope you had your weekly visit to your nice taco place this morning.💕 Give little Tinks a loving pet from me…😊
Hi, Bet. Yep, you know me too well I fear. I’m such a creature of habit . . . The chicken fajita tacos (w/ cheese and fresh homemade flour tortillas) were world class as is usual for this little family owned taqueria. Also as usual, as near as I could tell I was the only Anglo there (although, this being Texas that didn’t matter at all) amid several tables of Sunday family gatherings.
Little ‘Tink got cold and so, for the past 2 nights she’s climbed on top of me to sleep. Since I sleep on my side she sleeps comfortably draped across my mid section. Of course when she does that I dare not move for fear of waking the little princess up . . . She’s a great kitty companion.
Well YUM!!! Habits/routine are good. They are my friends. They keep me sane😉.
Life’s continuum undisturbed if possible; and when it is disturbed, they are anchoring, even the most mundane pieces that I can keep going.
You are most probably an honorary Mexican is my bet. As I was an honorary Welsh woman when I lived in that country.
I remember vividly an American tourist who was visibly shocked to hear me speaking in our small town, and who said, “You’re not Welsh!”
One of the residents whom I knew who overheard said, “She’s a local.”
I can’t tell you how I will forever treasure that comment. I suspect your friends at your breakfast place would say the same of you, Garrison. As you said earlier, we are all God’s children and precious in His sight. We aren’t as “diverse” to Him as we are supposedly to each other.
What a better world it would be if this were the way we all saw one and treated another.
Bless little Tink. You know you’ve arrived when you are being used as a cushion. I saw the most wonderful meme the other day which said in effect …
“I thought I’d get up and make a coffee. But the cat was asleep on my lap…so I didn’t.”
What person owned by a cat can’t relate to that??! 😎
😎
-✝️❤️you, Garrison❣️
Thank you, Patience. 🙂 you too.
RIP Mike. When the songs are sung and the stories told, you will be remembered.
3/18/2023 – I shall do to you, as I thought to do to them
Numbers 33:50-56 “And the LORD spoke to Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan Jericho, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, and say unto them, When you are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan; then you shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places: and you shall *dispossess (occupy by driving out the previous tenants, and possessing in their place) the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it. And you shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more you shall multiply his inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall diminish his inheritance: every man’s [inheritance] shall be in the place where his lot falls; according to the tribes of your fathers you shall inherit. But if you will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which you let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein you dwell. Adding to this it shall come to pass, that I shall do to you, as I thought to do to them.”
Luke 11:21-26 “When a strong man armed keeps his palace, his goods are in peace: but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he takes from him all his armor wherein he trusted, and divide his spoils. He that is not with Me is against Me: and he that gathers not with Me scatters. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return to my house whence I came out. And when he comes, he finds it swept and decorated (furnished). Then goes he, and takes to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
This is a picture of what is supposed to happen when a person gets saved. There is the Stronger Man that has come in and bound the strong man who held us in sin and darkness, and has completely delivered us and set us free, and made us His New People. Like the Israelites of old, we are commanded to completely rid ourselves of all the old “inhabitants,” with all their pictures and images and idols. God then has said that He has an inheritance for us forever with Him. But if we don’t. if we will not get rid of the old man and all his ways, that they would be a continual source of pain and grief and vexation, that we didn’t need to have; plus, then God will do to us as He thought to do to them. Just like when the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, but the man does not keep his house filled with God; and the Holy Spirit does not abide in him; then the same unclean spirit that was there before will return with seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Now put that on a National level!
God has had a plan for man, and a righteous way for his redemption and restoration, to that which He had originally made him for. But since the beginning, there have been those who set themselves to defy Him, and to contradict and blaspheme His Good Spirit. Every time men made it worse, God intervened to stave off the wicked from obtaining their mad inventions of destruction; with this one word of foretelling how it would end for them: “Behold, the people is one, and have all one lip; and this they begin to do: and now nothing shall be restrained from them, of all that they have imagined to do.” And in all this time, ever since, those same haters of the LORD in every age, have been in frenzied mental illness to make the dream come to pass. But now at this last extremity of times; God finds no more remedy, no more healing; and so He must, for righteousness’ sake, give them up to their own ways, to bring the transgression to the full. And those who knew their Master’s will, and did not those things He commanded them to do; but let the lawless remain in their own hearts; now do they call for His help; but it will not come! As He has called, and no one answered; so do they now cry to Him; but He will stop His ears at their cries, and feel no pity for their distresses. They were warned, and took no heed: they shall bear their own ways, and feel the bitterness of the breaking of the covenant.
If a man has an animal, like a dog, which is known to be aggressive, and the owner does not keep him in; if that dog breaks out and hurts or kills anyone, the dog shall be destroyed, and the man also shall be put to death, and the blood of the victim upon the owner; who knew, and did not keep his animal in. That is God’s law: for man is made in the image of God; and whoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed; or else the guilt of blood shall be upon the whole place, for that they refused to condemn the murderer.
As the decades and the generations have passed; the descendants of the saints who were in the days of this country’s beginning, have not only departed the faith and left the Lord; but have become the cage of every unclean and hateful spirit. In the States of New England, which used to be full of holiness and purity and faith in Christ with a good conscience; are now the cesspools of antichrists and witchcraft and hateful indifference to the Name of Jesus. The country as a whole, has let their moral consciousness be cauterized and scarred over by the enchantments of the world, the flesh, and the devil; and the churches kept quiet for fear of persecution: until now we have an absolutely powerless and watered down version that in nothing resembles the saints who were first entrusted with the faith of Christ. The walls of morality and a good conscience towards God have been scoffed at with laughter and contempt; and now the chickens are coming home to roost. And so the church. like Samson under the witchcraft of Delilah, doesn’t even know that God has departed; as she goes out and tries to shake herself as in times past; and the power of God does not come; and the Philistines take their most celebrated enemy away!
Because the people of God will not do what He commands them to do; to NOT love the world, and the things in the world; all that God has had in His heart to do to the world for all their abominations and lawlessness; He will do first and fiercest to those whom He had charged with being His lights in the world, but they would not. We are seeing it now happening all around us: it is no longer just echoes bouncing back through the canyons of the centuries; but it is now at hand! And yet for all that this people are told, they will not believe; but continue like they did in Sodom, and like they did up to the very hour that Noah entered the Ark: and they will not know, until the cataclysm is destroying and taking away all. Should anyone feel sorry or mourn for such a people as this is?
Luke 19:41-42 “And when He was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, saying, If you had known, even you, at least in this your day, the things which belong unto your peace! but now they are hid from your eyes.”
Joel 2:12-17 “Therefore also now, says the LORD, turn you even to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repents Him of the evil. Who knows if He will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind Him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare Your people, O LORD, and give not Your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: [that] because of this should they say among the people, Where is their God?”
Luke 18:6-8 “And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge says. And shall not God avenge His own elect, which cry day and night unto Him, though He bear long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man comes, shall He find faith on the earth?”
Ezekiel 7:14 “They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goes to the battle: for My wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.”
To your good health, Michael.
Thank you 1530
To you also 🙂
I posted this late yesterday afternoon on the Saturday Open Thread. I hope you won’t mind if I post it again here tonight. Just as I don’t like to hear people ridicule people with disabilities, neither do I like to hear people make fun of gender dysphoric individuals who who are struggling to create an identity when who they are doesn’t match what they look like. .
Even if you disagree with me, I hope you will give some credence to the logic behind my words. Also, I hope you won’t think I’m being hubristic in make a double posting. 🙂
OK, here goes . . .
Having taught course components on self-identity and gendered self identities for many, many years I’m appalled at how politicization has so thoroughly seized an important psychological and medical issue. Sadly, there is every bit as much ignorance and outright bigotry coming from advocates as there is from critics.
The problem is rooted in our culture. Most Americans think sex and gender are synonymous when, clearly, they are not. Sex is what you look like. Gender is how you feel about yourself. Sex is biological. Gender and gendered-identities (sociobology suggests inheritance plays a role) along with self=identity itself is largely a social-construct which is formed through interaction with the life-world.
So how does all this affect the “trans phenomenon”? Since we are not born with an identity, the person we see in the mirror each morning is largely a result of social interaction with others. However, sometimes our internal wiring doesn’t work like everyone else’s. When that happens we get anomalies like gender dysphoria where a person’s gender-identity doesn’t align with their perceived, culturally assigned sex—female appearing people can gender identify as male while male appearing people can gender identify as female.
People suffering from and attempting to deal with gender dysphoria don’t deserve to be made ridiculous by critics or, perhaps even worse, to be “served” by equally ridiculous “advocates”.
When I was teaching, I worked hard to insure that my students had enough information about gendered-identities to avoid these polar extremes. My goal, hopefully accomplished, was to teach understanding about a seemingly impossible life-world conundrum.
That said, the intense politicization we now see always has a hidden agenda that is only tenuously related to its claimed subject. The result is that many good, but troubled people trying to deal with gender dysphoria are doomed to be its perpetual victims. They deserve better.
All the things you describe are very serious, and very terrible. I have to say, that it is remarkable how human psychology has been studied, and what conclusions have been reached. But I want to tell you, that these things cannot be fixed merely by human wisdom; because they are spiritual issues, and need to be dealt with as such. In this age of arrogance and stark unbelief and contempt for the Scriptures, and everything that is of faith; it is a really difficult thing to convince someone, that they are dealing with demons. But that’s exactly what they are. How did those kinds of demons get into people? and how do we get them free and healed? We have to bring the matter before God. The heart and the conscience has to be searched and examined, and things need to be clearly shown by the Light of the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit. In many cases, it is sins and curses that have come through the family being antichrist and Satanic. You might be surprised how many people’s families are in hatred and hostility to Christ, and many involved to some degree in demonic arts. The short version from the Bible is, that being given over to work out perversions like that, are the result of profound rejection of Christ; whether in the person directly; or as often happens, the wickedness of the parents and grandparents brings curses upon the children before they are even born. How to get them delivered and healed? bring them to Jesus! If unbelief is too big a hurdle to overcome; Jesus said, Nevertheless, this kind goes not out except by fasting and prayer. Jesus gives us power and authority in His Name to cast out demons and heal the sick; but the reason we don’t see much, or perhaps ANY of that today, is because of unholy lives of the Believers, and worldliness, and unbelief. Also in the person needing the deliverance, there has to be an accounting with God, with confession and repentance and sincere decision. Many churches mean well, and try very hard, and sacrifice a lot, to try and help addicts, for example, get free from their sins, and their lives straightened out. But I have found, that leaving out the all important parts of the willingness and obedience of the one who needs deliverance, plus neglecting the very real and important psychological needs for someone to learn how to be honest; have resulted in much tragic failure and disappointment.
Anyway, I am very much moved to want to help in these things; and I so greatly appreciate your having posted this.
Romans 1:18-32 tells us why these things happen. But few want to take the time to seek the Lord for understanding what is written there. I recommend it to you to study and ask the Lord for understanding of this Scripture. It will help you immeasurably in your work.
Thank you Garrison.
Thank you, Michael. 🙂 Finding healing and understanding in His name is infinitely better than doing harm. We are all His children and He Loves us all. Be blessed, my friend.
I’ve told this story before . . . I have a close friend who was asking about belief. I told him I talk to Our Lord all the time whereupon he said he just couldn’t do that . . . I gathered that he was unaccustomed to prayer. When I inquired further he repeated that he just couldn’t do it. A few weeks later he told me that he’d said his prayers—“Now I lay me down to sleep . . .” I told him he was “IN”. Even our childhood prayers work in connecting us with Our Lord’s Love.
Yes, they do deserve better, Garrison, and you, dear Sir, have a tender, compassionate heart.
I don’t understand the complexity of this, but recently heard my physician (well-known and respected) on a program say this is a real serious issue. Very deep.
Everyone is made in God’s image and has a soul.
He loves us all, no matter what wires are crossed.
Every person on this earth deserves respect and acceptance.
Thank you for bringing this to light, again.
More need to be aware.
Thanks for your kind words, Della. We are, indeed, His children—even when when the person we see in the mirror each morning doesn’t match who we need to be—and He Loves us all. 🙂
🙂
When I see the word “mirrors” I never ever fail to remember…
“O what some Power with vision teach us
To see ourselves as others see us!
It would from many a blunder free us,
And foolish notions:
What airs in dress and carriage would leave us, and even devotion!”
Rabbie Burns of course, translated
Thank goodness as for His infinite mercies.🙏🏻
Indeed, Bet. And knowing that can be a healing balm. 🙂
Oh yes sir.💕
Garrison, I always knew you were special. My family went through this two decades ago with our son. It was crushing, many nights sleeping on wet pillows. He transitioned at home, in the community, and even in our Methodist Church. The music director gave him voice lessons. Our son was never In Your Face and was gently forgiving over the issue of pronouns (never “it”, please). He simply wanted to pass.
He has since married a beautiful, intelligent woman and they have given us two amazing granddaughters.
It is support like yours that makes for happy endings like ours.
Thank you for your simple and eloquent account. Thanks so much for posting this. Even with the remarkable community support you had, transitioning is always a searing life experience—for everyone concerned. Blessings on you and your family, Dave. 🙂
“ sometimes our internal wiring doesn’t work like everyone else’s” That is like Darwin claiming life came from non-life to support his insane theory of evolution. Just because an entire industry was created for profit and the further destruction of family , faith and morality doesn’t make it is real. Certainly throughout history there were children that found it extremely difficult to compete or fit in with their own group. In all cases these children sadly didn’t measure up to societal norms and were mostly excluded from the normal paths of life offered to the rest. Now we welcome, encourage and convince this ever growing group that they are “normal”. Again no scientific or biblical evidence supports this wiring issue. It would be nice if all these smart people that tell us about this wiring problem would focus more on swapping a few wires. To be clear, I despise treating anyone badly. I clearly understand reading your comment that you are a good person wanting to help but can’t buy into this nonsense that is turning our world into a freak show.
Well, since you are being so honest, I think I should be honest with you. This probably won’t come as a surprise when I say I don’t think you could be more wrong. Still, I don’t think anything I say will change your mind so I won’t try. Your comment about “nonsense” and “freak show” says it all. Be well, my friend.
You are correct, nothing you say would change my mind. However, I would have been open to researching all facts, evidence or even studies you could have provided to support this wiring issue. In reality all you have is some nutty shrink named Fisk was paid to write a paper in the 1970’s claiming this to be true. He didn’t prove anything. When you can’t provide any evidence to support your belief system it is a clear sign that you should challenge them. Although difficult and somewhat painful it is extremely rewarding. I still believe you are a good person.
With regards to what you’re saying, it is obvious, we are not created equal. I believe that our “equality” has to be earned by integrity and good character, through faith in the Name and blood of the Jesus. It is plain to see everywhere, that on the natural lines, every seed has its own body depending on the qualities and strengths, or weaknesses of the parents, its environment, and of the spiritual conditions. You are right! There is nothing in the Bible, and there is NO truth or evidence at all that we are created equal; EXCEPT, that we are made in the image of God! How our bodies are, and how the whole human “eco-system” works, there is absolutely a NORMAL, and healthy! When the Lord Jesus went around cast out demons and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease; He made everyone perfectly whole! That is God’s will for man in this life; even while we wait on probation until the redemption of our bodies. It is God’s will for everyone to be saved, and healed and filled with His Holy Spirit. There is much work to be done, but the workers are few. Pray the Lord of the harvest, the=at He would send forth workers into His harvest.
There is no case impossible for God, when we believe and obey Him.
Hi G,
I would like to chime in here… as you probably expect I would… because apparently I have lots to say today.
As I read your first hand accounts, and your excellent heart and desire to minister, my Spirit is drawn to Psalm 139… our family verse that I adopted with my precious daughter’s birth.
I was born an outcast. A 9 year old girl with a dead mother, who was suddenly being raised by a 54 year old widower, who was a Military Police officer (Narcotics) who had only recently retired from his military career. He came home, my parents understandably divorced, they got back together the last day the divorce was final, and then we were blessed with a family trip to Washington DC where my parents seemed in love… for the first time I had ever witnessed. We came home and two months later – Mom was dead. Hit by a car in the middle of the night. I was alone and took the calls from the hospital. I will not go into the full details of that night – it was hell – and it was the first of my recorded experiences of prophetic dreams that foretold of what that night would bring to me.
My Dad had no experience with young children, young girls, or probably even women for that matter… but he was well-versed in tearing apart grown men, destroying them to the point of no personal identity, and building them back up as legions of cops, enforcers, military war machines. Not even in my dad’s native tongue, these were South Korean troops.
He would only come home one month out of the year, and I was his only biological daughter, the two half sisters and one half brother were not his children – he adopted them and frankly, it didn’t go all that well. They hated him, with the exception of the youngest one (who was 10 years my elder).
I was the young girl that everyone avoided, yet silently gaped at, as they wondered what went on in our home life… but only a small handful ever cared to intervene to learn more. (When I say handful… I mean like maybe 2 or 3 that I can recollect.) The siblings had all already fled the home when they were young – 15 through 17 – so I was on my own. Really… on… my… own. (BUT GOD!)
I was terribly shy. Terribly. Couldn’t look up from the ground until I was 20. My father put a hammer in my hand early and he taught me much mechanically. He was generous with a swimming pool, camping tent in the back yard, a club house built with his two hands and mine, me learning to drive in a graveyard, and driving illegally when I was 14. Emotionally, though, we were utterly bankrupt and his choo choo train of his mind had full on jumped the tracks. I had to be a man in my strength, my knowledge, and didn’t realize the fairer qualities of my sex until in the presence of “my betters” much later in life.
When I hear stories such as you have told about gender dysphoria – I was raised a girl, but with many masculine qualities and hardness. I grew into a beautiful young woman and that… coupled with a job being one of only two women in the country – in a highly male dominated industry (a renown heavy machinery manufacturer)… helped me to equate my beauty, intellect, and position… with power. I misused that power (but never at work – never get your honey where you make your money! and I desperately sought respect and I earned my job and position fair and square – busting my ever loving butt at every obstacle), but partially my beginnings sexually were not wholesome nor any education in the proper relations between a man a woman who love The Lord. (Raped by 2 men at the age of 12)
I would be so bold as to say that those who have confusion in the WHO they are, WHAT they are, and by WHOM they made – I would refer them to Psalm 139. I would seek to calm their Spirit by reminding them that they were made perfectly, by their Creator, our God! It hurts to have a God-shaped hole in one’s heart. Uncertainty, fear, lacking, self-loathing, demeaning, and weakness comes from the devil and his whispers have no place in their lives! Before one goes to change themselves with medications or plastic surgery, I would pray PAUSE and implore time to reveal their Divine Purposes in just how the Lord made them.
You know I have a daughter with a learning difference. High ADHD, slight Asperger’s. (You would never know it unless you lived with her and tried to teach her something.) Her IQ at diagnosis was earth-shattering. She was the yin to my yang… and I broke down and lost it. Was it genetic? Possibly inherited? Probably. Could it have been her umbilical cord that was wrapped around her neck since 12 weeks in utero that was found to be knotted at the time of her birth? That God had delivered her from a certain death by emergency caesarean after 24.5 hours of painful and horrible labor? Maybe she lost oxygen to her brain? It’s possible. BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER.
She is a young woman who may have trouble with some studies, but she ministered by my side to our dear friend on her death bed at the UC Med Center in Chicago – were a horrible cancer battered and ravaged her – where a 12 year old should not have been able to go – but she did despite the hospital being in full lock down to anyone under the age of 16. Somehow – we got in and we delivered our friend into Eternity with our love and the readings from Psalm 139.
About the next day, I was conversing with my daughter’s math teacher – from her fancy Christian private school – and I genuinely loved that Godly woman. And I told her “Shelley, math is important, but right now… that math is getting in the way of God’s Work that we are doing.” My daughter will not be all things to everybody, but the who she is — is glorious and Divine and I am God’s witness to His Greatness found and emanating from her.
I caution all – who are hearing their inner demons – to consider the source of where those demons come from. Dig into the Word of God where you are and a great start is Psalm 139. Pray for His Wisdom to learn what the Creator’s intentions are for His beloved created.
Wisdom and love to you, brother.
I promise… I’ll be quieter tomorrow. But there’s Kingdom Work to be done today and I am a faithful maidservant.
Sorry for the misspellings and grammar. I am human. Not A.I. (ha ha ha ha)
Love, love that requires understanding and growth, is wisdom. This is God’s gift. Praise be to God.
Well said, darlin . . . 🙂 Your comments about your dad teaching you carpentry and mechanical skills, tool handling, and driving alone at an early age provided you with the unique skills-set that allowed you to work professionally in a formally male dominated heavy equipment industry. There was a time, not to long ago, that despite you hands-on skills you wouldn’t have been allowed to do that work simply because were a female. What allowed the difference? Social change.
By the time you arrived, societies gender related norms had changed to allow you move into a profession that was formally closed to you. This is one of the implicit points in my post. We are currently in a time where previous taken-f0r-granted ideas about gendered-identities are undergoing change.
Just as young women of your generation found themselves able to work in fields that their mothers or grandmothers were not allowed to, I think we are slowly haltingly, beginning to deal with the social issues of gender-dysphoria in the same exact way.
It is my hope and the hope of many others that we can do this in a civil and understanding manner. Gender dysphoric people simply want to be themselves. I think the inherent wisdom, technological prowess, and our long traditions of individual freedom and liberty will continue to discover ways for this to happen. Still, we can only hope for the best in these trying times.
I purposely ridiculed your “wired wrong “ theory and challenged you to provide any evidence or facts and you had no response. My intention was to get you to think about what you were saying. Based on your latest comment I have failed miserably. I never set out to be confrontational but you are making it impossible with your gender dysphoric lunacy. I suppose you think your ancestors crawled out of the ocean. Pathetic is the only word that describes this waste of time.
What we all need is love out of a good conscience and a pure heart towards one another. I believe, that while it is true that demons are behind things like this; it is also true that we need real discernment, and the kind of personal walk with God, that would make us capable to do exactly what He knows needs to be done. Sanctification and holy purity and that great faith required for God to freely do as He wishes; is extremely rare; because MOST are not willing to pay the price the way Jesus said we must.
So people try to do it the best they can; and have some limited success; which is good so far. But there’s no one here that could deny, that if Jesus, or one of the apostles, or any of His most trusted servants from long ago, were here; then there would be the same miracles and wonders today. I say these things, as it were, as the first step, of acknowledging there is a problem. Our family prays, and we have seen powerful miracles and answers to prayer. But like the Lord said, According to your faith be it unto you; there is so much more that we could receive, except for the lack of faith and sacrifice on behalf of God’s needs. Most think of prayer and fasting and enduring trials, strictly on the level of self improvement; and not according to God’s fasts and sacrifices; which are for rescuing the perishing and helping those who have no one.
Philippians 2:20-21 “For I have no man likeminded (like-souled), who will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ’s.”
Someone very wise once said, “The world has yet to see what God can do through one man who will completely yield and surrender to Him.” The time is so short, and there is so much still to be done; but at the same time, there is a reason why the devil has been able to devour so many today; and why the hearing of the Word has been all but taken away completely out of the land.
“The world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully consecrated to him.
By God’s help, I aim to be that man.”
Dwight L. Moody
Sadly, my existence there emasculated a lot of men and some lost their jobs over it. Looking back on that time, and how hated I was… I regret it.
I was awarded my position because I studied… scored higher on the tests… worked twice as hard… and twice as long at it. I earned it by legitimate merit. I earned it because I could work with both the blue collar and the white collar clients. I didn’t expect trust. I respected and understood it when I was viewed with skepticism and my job was to put people at ease and overcome those obstacles. I responded by being humble, putting on my steel-toed boots, and worked with the men to change out pre-combustion chambers on a gas compression site, so I could learn my parts. If they sweat, I sweat. If they needed a hand pulling miles of four-aught cable, I worked alongside. I won awards for my work and my clients loved me because I was honest and an excellent project manager. I was intuitive and protected my company and them against potential hazards and liability.
However, it was a social science experiment, and I’m not convinced it was all that successful. It revealed the carnal nature of human beings: of competition, covetousness, envy, jealousy, and the desire to cheat and undermine. I did not stay at that job. I walked away when I could no longer deal with the depravity and the culture there that was not going to allow me to win… ever… and my customers were going to suffer because of it.
In my final position, I left in utter despair as there were 20,000 industrial engines in my territory and only one of me. My counterpart who worked a sister county was a stress eater and never left the construction trailer. So, I would have to go on his jobs, too, because he simply was not a field rep. He was a gentle person and a good man, but he was not what that position needed, but that day’s “Diversity Equity and Inclusion” was going to keep him right where he was and no one was going to be honest about it.
I had a major, time sensitive, level 1 medical center with their emergency systems disassembled for maintenance, when they pulled my technicians to go change a fuel pump on a boat. I was in Arizona and my tech called me… unglued because they did not send the needed partner technician for the job – and then abruptly pulled him from that hospital to work on the boat. I was on the horn with my boss – irate – demanding I would board a plane immediately if my techs were not restored to the job. The service manager was making his point. I was not welcome there. Who won there? Who lost there? It was not the cowboy-Texan dealership who thwarted my career – it was the liberal Los Angeles! (I left Texas because I tired of a General Manager who wanted to get into every woman’s pants and wanted us to charge 300 to 400% for a gallon of diesel, which we absolutely refused to do. Our clients were like our families – and I still hold that view today.)
Looking back, I would have traded a thousand careers for a holy and righteous husband and father for my daughter. Now, there will likely never be a man to lead me, with the exception of Christ Himself. For men of today do not want a partner, they want a parent. We have emasculated men.
You may not recognize it, Garrison, because you are not like the men of today’s age… you are chivalrous, responsible, and have a heightened sense of duty. Do these men of today have that? How is this social change experiment really working for us? I don’t mean this to sound disrespectful to you. I esteem you greatly. I just mean for it to point out, that the evolution of our culture, is not heading down the right path.
What do I need a man for, if I can do it all? Looking back, I should have been the Little Mrs. rather than “the little engine that could”… until I couldn’t. Yes, I regret it now… especially now.
Each member of the body has its function and when a member hand tries to be a foot – problems can happen. The faulty mechanics upsets the equilibrium of the whole body.
I understand and am sympathetic to those of special needs. Statistically speaking, how many of them are there… really… and how many have hijacked a legitimate concern causing social imbalance for political mind control, monetary gain, and imposed civil subservience and acquiescence? That’s all I am saying.
What is happening now is a mental illness pandemic of epic proportions. Too much Munchausens by proxy.
COME TO CALVARY’S HOLY MOUNTAIN
But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.
For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctify to the cleanness of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant, since a death has occurred for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, that those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
— Hebrews 9:11-15
Amen!
” . . . how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without defect to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”
What the devil succeeded in doing to ruin man, was to give him a defiled conscience toward God. Now the Lord Jesus Christ has undone the works of the devil, Hallelujah!
“O there’s power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb!
Yes there’s power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb!”
Thank you 1530 🙂
Good morning 1530!
Hi GrandpaM!
I’ve seen that look before. In fact, from a tuxedo cat.
Happy Sunday, Joe!
You too, 1530.Have a happy Sunday.
Good morning Joe and a happy Sunday!
Never forget the KIA and MIA.

Can’t forget. One of Trump’s kindest gestures was bringing our Korean War dead home. Wished my father would have lived to see it. But so glad he’s not here to see this country in tatters.

Batten down the hatches, Treepers. Storm’s coming. May God protect President Trump.
The wind is already here ….
and the smell of dust in the air with the first rain drops.
That alive feeling while you wait and wonder how bad its going to be.
Dear Monti,
It won’t be bad. God is mighty to save!
Good morning JWoo! He sure is! And it’s good to see you.
God’s morning and blessings to you, GrandpaM. Hugs to you and yours brother.
Good morning GrandpaM.
Good morning JWoo.
Howdy and hugs Joe 12 pack. I might be a Hoooosier… but 8 years in South Texas entitles me to say “howdy”. And my years on the west coast – maybe it would be “like howdy y’all” in my best valley girl tejano. Ha ha!
Good morning Monti…
Your post caused me to have a mental picture…spirit sniffing…😁
The ability to perceive a situation because we draw close to the One Who knows what is going on…✝🙏
Good morning juststevie.
Good morning all.
Just musings and memories.
Sometimes after the storm it looks like this
🤗 🤗
Never heard that term?
Ive heard and had olfactory hallucinations, I don’t consider them actual hallucinations.
Myself, i think the spirit of man is so ignored that we overlook the signs of the interaction that occurs, with our own and others. And maybe it’s a benefit only for the quickened? That our spirit is awakened or touched just enough to tell the difference when before we could not? It’s like trying to pick up a watermelon seed or a slug, you see it feel it but grasping it is futile. Separation enough to advance or target “spirit” is a by product of studying God and his word. Meditation does help. Anyway,
Thanks for a better explanation. I regret using the term ‘spirit sniffing’ as it is too cultish! And that was not what I meant at all…so your post cleared that up! 🧐 Thank you Rider!!!
Really appreciate your posts, palerider, here and other threads.
Enjoy your stimulating thoughts…
🙏🏻 🌷
Wow, monticello … Love your imagery! Super poetic! 😀
Good morning monticello.
Same here. Watching and waiting….all eyes. The image I posted was symbolic.
31 degrees F, calm and clear in my area. Beautiful spring like day outside and having that first cup of coffee after waking up again.
Have a blessed Sunday.
Have a good day sir
You too, Monticello. Have a wonderful day.
Wow. Goosebumps. Calm before the storm.
The battle ongoing above us, unseen, now becomes visible. 🙏🏻
Good morning Bet. For better or worse, it all comes out in the open. The battle will be epic.
Morning, dear Joe. Providence made you place that a powerful and meaningful photograph (with words to match) here. I must have spent who knows how much time looking at it, trying to marshall an adequate response and couldn’t.
Not often words fail me…
Watching and waiting. Two words you used which I came very close to using myself, and do so now.🙏🏻💕
Made it home just fine. Departed Daytona Beach at 21:00. Drove straight through, only stopping for gas. Arrived at my sons house in Indy at 12:08 to pick up Geisha and her stuff. Sherry napped much of the time. No problems except the usual stuff with other drivers and some heavy rain south of Macon, GA. Arrived home at 13:28.
22 deg. with a 30 mph hour wind when we got home. First thing I did, even before unloading the FJ was get a fire started in the fireplace insert. Then fed my birds. Then went over to Steve and Betty’s to let them know we were home and thank them for taking care of Gabby and watching the place. Betty had just taken homemade Apple cake out of the oven and gave us a couple pieces.
Geisha, happy and healthy and just as glad to be home as we are. Gabby the cat was acting freaky, but in a little time was giving us hell for leaving her alone. All has been forgiven now.
FJ unloaded and all the little things done to set things right here at home.
At 18:00 I ate a can of Campbells Chicken & Dumpling soup with crackers. Shortly thereafter I was in bed and asleep in no time, not waking up until Geisha started licking my face asking to go outside at 00:45. Getting ready to go back to bed now and finish catching up on my sleep.
Welcome home, Rob.
Glad you arrived safely home. I’ve been busy and haven’t kept up.
You were correct about the wintertime blast!
Rest well!
You are safe…Answered prayer…🙏 😁
Thank you all. Have a blessed Sunday!
I’m up again because Gabby the cat insisted that I get up. She has long wiskers and knows how to position herself to make sure one or two go up my nose. And Geisha the cocker wanted out to do her business.
Fireplace insert started up again. Coffee just finishing brewing. A bit of the white stuff dusted on the deck and a heavy frost. Time to get some coffee.
It’s good to be home. Praise the Lord for the safe trip!
Rah, if you don’t mind, would you make a list for us of an adequate home first aid kit?
I have looked at a few commercially available ones and they always seem to have deficiencies, for example, no snake bite kit, no spider bite kit, no tourniquet, no neck brace, and no Silvadene ointment for burns. I wonder if I could do better purchasing the elements separately.
I think it is important to be able to pull out an abscessed tooth because this can sure kill a person, but there is considerable skill required. I have seen emergency dental kits, they are not cheap.
Speaking of skill, I’ve come to a conclusion that rather than doing stitches for a wound, just using steri-strips might be better, keep it clean, and let it heal with access to oxygen. Then take care of cosmetics later.
Your experience, I’m sure, has made strong impressions on your mind, and informs what you keep in your first aid kit(s). I would like to hear your insights.
I’ll think on it and see if I can come up with something. Fact is though that the utility/effectiveness of any first aid kit depends first and foremost on the knowledge and skill of the user.
For the average person steri-strips are a great answer for superficial wounds. But deeper wounds will require the knowledge and skill to suture because merely closing the surface will leave a pocket that is a perfect bed for infection and the worst of them, like gangrene, are caused by anaerobic organisms which thrive in environments lacking direct contact with the air.
Lacking the ability to suture a deep wound, it will probably be best to keep it cleaned and dressed and allow it to granulate or IOW heal from the bottom up with scar tissue. A longer process not practical in many situations.
BTW Sherry and I were playing cards at a team members house. His son fell out of bed and had a good cut on his head just above an eye brow. The TMC at Flint Kasern wasn’t open at night and just had a doc on call.
I made ad hoc steri-strips from the adhesive portion of the bandaids. When they took him into the TMC the next morning the doc said that was great and left them on. There was no scar. That kid is now a great hockey player I hear.
One more thing. There is a publication called The Special Medics Handbook.
That is the first thing I would recommend putting in your first aid kit, after you go through it and learn what you can from it. It will also give you great ideas for what you will want in your kit.
US Army Special Forces Medical Handbook: Pentagon U.S. Military, United States Army Institute for Military Assistance, U.S. Army: 9780967512358: Amazon.com: Books
I know you and Sherry are glad to be back in familiar surroundings. As I am certain Gabby and Geisha are as well.
Hoping your loose ends from your telling your people you are retiring are easily tied up. The last few months have really been hard hitting for you all.
Blessings, Rob, as always…forward…🙏🏻
I have a lot to do. But they are good problems. Thank the Lord. I’ve got to sign up for SS and figure out what program I want for Medicare. Close out my 401K and transfer it. Get a money manager to figure out how to manage my inheritance without getting raped by government taxes and how to invest it.
I have a new ceiling fan to install. A bathroom, living room, and bedroom to remodel. A garage to build. And an extension on the living room with patio to build.
Then, when the financial matters are figured out and I see where we are I will see about purchasing a used RV to do some traveling with Sherry.
Much to plan and organize, and the time to do it. It can be daunting all right.
Medicare makes it hard, deliberately I think, to choose. We were constrained by finances so had to take a leap of faith in selecting our plan.
I remember my mother who had major health issues but who never was out of pocket with her plan, even though she had few resources, said to me it wouldn’t be the same for us. Boy, she wasn’t kidding.
I am truly wishing you the best with every step you take to get the retirement fundamentals in order. Necessary but once sorted, t’is out of the way so you can focus on what is important.
Glad you and Sherry are home safe. I know your fur babies are delighted to have you home.
You are about to find out that there is so much to do after retirement that you will wonder how you ever had time to work. My husband said this many times and I am sure you will say it too. Enjoy your retirement and take Sherry and go places while you both have the health to be able to enjoy some travel. All those other things will wait til you have time for them. Enjoy your wife and family as much as you can.
Bless you Rob, you have earned our love and respect. Many, many thanks for your service to our country.

For you, dear Joan…and for us all in these perilous times.
Great Is Thy Faithfulness
So beautiful, Bets. Thank you, dear friend.
Blessings always, sweet sister.💕
Amen sis. Love you. ✝️❤️✝️
I highly encourage you all to read ISAIAH 54 NIV and apply every single word of it to President Trump.
It’s an excellent read and I could not believe the correlation.
I am not so good a student of the Word that I could do this in my own.
It was purely The Spirit’s inclining and the Lord’s mercy on him for whom I was praying (and am praying).
Thank you JWoo, I will read this tomorrow.
THE WAY OF ABRAHAM IN FAITH
“He went out, not knowing whither he went.” Hebrews xi. 8
In the Old Testament, personal relationship with God showed itself in separation, and this is symbolized in the life of Abraham by his separation from his country and from his kith and kin. Today the separation is more of a mental and moral separation from the way that those who are dearest to us look at things, that is, if they have not a personal relationship with God. Jesus Christ emphasized this (see Luke xiv. 26).
Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One Who is leading. It is a life of FAITH, not of intellect and reason, but a life of knowing Who makes us “go”. The root of faith is the knowledge of a Person, and one of the biggest snares is the idea that God is sure to lead us to success.
The final stage in the life of faith is attainment of character. There are many passing transfigurations of character; when we pray we feel the blessing of God enwrapping us and for the time being we are changed, then we get back to the ordinary days and ways and the glory vanishes. The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting. It is not a question of sanctification; but of something infinitely further on than sanctification, of faith that has been tried and proved and has stood the test. Abraham is not a type of sanctification, but a type of the life of faith, a tried faith built on a real God. “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD.”

Good morning juststevie! Thank you! Plenty of times we may believe in God but do we believe God? Abraham did and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
“…we may believe in God but do we believe God?”
Profound statement! How the words are placed, makes the heart wake up and see the difference! 🙏
Thank you!
Good word thanks Stevie,
brings to mind flying dreams, where you fly around all night in your dreams. I love them so much I hate to wake up. But, they are said to occur not in turmoil but after you have achieved. And I have to agree. The most wonderful of flying dreams always occur after the trials. And the meaning of the adversity is what is important to you, that makes the resulting dream, not the problem perceived by others.
You are welcome Rider! I always look forward to your posts…thank you! 🤗🙏

Amen.
off to mass friends , have a good morning treeperPsalm 23:1-6R. The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In verdant pastures he gives me repose;
Beside restful waters he leads me;
he refreshes my soul. R.
Even though I walk in the dark valley
I fear no evil; for you are at my side
With your rod and your staff
that give me courage. R.
You spread the table before me
in the sight of my foes;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows. R.
Only goodness and kindness follow me
all the days of my life;
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
for years to come. R.
Love this, Molon. Thank you.

Mornin’ all!
Do not speak evil against one another. – James 4:11
The Scriptures have a lot to say about the mouth! James, an apostle of Christ, wrote about how your behavior reveals your spiritual identity. He notes the words you choose, particularly words in relation to other people, are a window into the condition of your soul.
Speaking evil of others comes under the heading of slander, and it is a grievous sin. At times it can be as subtle as just another note in a conversation or a side comment, maybe just a gesture. In scripture, slander is an identifier of a godless person! “With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor” (Proverbs 11:9).
Smearing the name of another person puts you into very bad company, “they are filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice, full of envy… gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, and haughty“ (Romans 1:29-30).
Contrast this with Proverbs 10:11, “The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life.
“James draws a direct line between your speech and your spiritual walk, “If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue… this person’s religion is worthless” (James 1:26). The apostle Peter says, “Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit” (1 Peter 3:10).
Solomon wrote that “the lips of the righteous feed many“ (Proverbs 10:21) illustrating the blessing of a sanctified mouth!
The Lord has given you the directive to guard your words. When you control your tongue, you can rain blessings upon those around you, as well as your own life! If you have not controlled your tongue well in life, do not despair and do not give up, God is forgiving and full of restoration, ask Him to help you in that area and He will do it!
Pray for American legislators to use their words for truth as they work, avoiding slander and evil speech.

Great thread Poyeema.
“The land, not unlike ours today, was full of unrepentant sin and fake voices, and the people were paying the price — the pleasant places were dried up.”
Here is a terrific article about the conditions of today and false prophets. How blessed we are to have such wisdom to encourage us with the Spirit of Discernment and ability to see the fruit.
We see it, too, with the “look at me” as opposed to “look at Him”.

Easter Week, 1913 | Real Climate Science
Thousands in Indiana and Ohio die in flooding.
Hundreds killed when tornado hits Omaha.
That same year on July 10th the temp in Death Valley reached over 134 deg. F and that remains the record for the highest temperature recorded on earth to this day. Alarmist “scientists” tried for years to get the World Meteorological Organization to strike that record off the books for one reason or another, and failed. So now almost 110 years later the record stands.
One reason that it gets so hot at Death Valley is the atmospheric pressure. The lowest point in the Valley is nearly 86 meters below sea level and thus the atmospheric pressure is high. Higher pressures = warmer temperatures. That combined with laying between two mountain ranges and its location combine to make it very hot during the summer. Lack of moisture and colder air flowing down from the mountains at night make the nights chilly quite often even when it has gotten up to 120 deg. during the day.
One of several reasons Venus is hellishly hot and Mars is very cold despite being similar in size, and both having atmospheres consisting of around 95% CO2, is pressure. The atmospheric pressure on Venus about 89X greater than on earth due to the very thick atmosphere. Of course relative proximity to the sun and other factors also cause the difference, but pressure and density of the atmosphere is believed to be the main driver.
I enjoy these posts.
Thank you for doing them.
Me, too, Greg1 and Rah. Thank you, Rah.
Your very welcome.
This what that station looked like in 1913.
This is what it looks like now.
Death Valley’s “hottest month ever” was likely a product of nearby solar panels and RV’s • Watts Up With That?
Now which station do you believe would record the more accurate ambient temperature? The one with nothing around it? Or the one with black top parking lots, solar panels, vehicles and RVs with their APUs running, and an outside unit of a central air conditioning unit near by?
NOAA is obviously doing what they can to try and break that record by establishing their own Urban Heat Island effect right there at the station.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

Betsy, thanks again on the heads up to gates of vienna (GoV) posting by Abp Vigano.
And yes, good to see GoV has brought Abp Vigano to forefront!
He mentions the ‘russophile’ again, which I said the other day but I still have not looked it up 🙁
I think “Russophile” basically means “Russian lover,” as in someone who’s a fan of Russia and its culture, etc.
Here’s the link:

I’m new to this group. Just signed up! As a God-fearing Christian, I’ve been praying for President Trump since he was in office. He may have his problems; he’s human, but I believe we need him back in the White House. As an elderly person, I will not be taking part in any public protests. I’m thinking that might turn out the same as J6! I will pray that God will protect President Trump ( and his family).

https://gatesofvienna.net/2023/03/archbishop-vigano-what-we-need-is-an-anti-globalist-alliance/
Dear Betsy,
I read recently that a true leader leads his country back to unity under God.
About 2 years ago, a fluke interraction with an Alabamian led me to the book “The Putin Interviews” (2017) by the liberal director Oliver Stone. She sent me a copy, as she had two, and thought I should have a look. I was in all kinds of surreal circumstances with strange Divine Appointments witnessing the utter political corruption with the state of Indiana. My skin was crawling – at the Republicans. I already knew the Dems were evil, but to see our “friends” were simply the opposing wing of the same cancered bird, I was astonished by the depravity.
It wasn’t just about that book of transcripts but the author, Oliver Stone, who met with his own suffering by his own liberal class who sought fervently to utterly destroy him, especially when he published the movie “Ukraine On Fire”. The details revealed such corruption – that my worldview shifted. I appreciated Stone’s historical doggedness and his love for our Constitution. I believe we should have two parties – one to balance the other – and he is an opponent that I respect and will listen to – for calibration and solidification of my own thoughts and principles.
I realized I no longer knew the America I loved. Not America per se, but her leadership appointed by We The People.
I began a ground campaign here in Central Indiana to try to teach “Biblical Citizenship” by Patriot Academy that instructs on the origins of our beautiful Constitution. I saw a mass network of depravity literally disassemble it and attack it. I saw a powerful co-instructor waylayed and retired to teach a group of pacifists who hold no power to strike fear into the Establishment. I saw the distortion of minds as they helplessly and hopelessly follow whatever flavor-of-the-week “leader” the Establishment dished up. I found the hungry evildoers starving for power awaiting to backfill from the house of cards as it falls. A group of patriots stealing from other patriots.
A group not interested in term limits or returning power to the people – because the people are foolish – and need to be led. Elitists and frankly the really naive who will be led as their egos are stroked with pets from their Establishment “owners”.
The UNIPARTY will never give back power on their own. They must be vanquished, destroyed, and in my opinion – they should be deported for treason and stripped of their American citizenship and protections under our Constitution. They should not be incarcerated to languish upon another American hard-earned dime. Let them find their own refuge… without our protections and provisions reserved for our True Citizenry.
I appreciate Archbishop Vigano here. I appreciate the relationship to the Russian people as described both here and in the book mentioned above. My prayers are with them as they protect their people, their country, their culture, and their borders… as I PRAY TO GOD THAT WE WILL DO HERE.
Amen J Amen

Good afternoon JWoo
I’m beginning to like Bach more and more.
If it was not for you fine friends here at the treehouse , I would still be stuck in my old ways . My old music , as you could see with my white rabbit , old habits die hard . Sometimes i will backslide into a tune or two or three. I really am loving classical music more and more though. Thanks for being a part of this wonderful place we call the treehouse

LIMERICK TO PRESIDENT TRUMP
Dear Mr. President we hope you are resting
Away from the turmoil of this vesting
For all you have been through
We humbly applaud you
While we pray for an end to the testing.
We offer you a warm cup of tea
As your family heaps love on thee
Our prayers rise up to God
From your earthly God squad
To secure peaceful harmony.
We thank you for standing strong
Through the attacks all along
We are here by your side
Our pain we can’t hide
It is where we believe we belong.
We know the truth has been revealing
From what they have done we are reeling
But you stood tall
And through it all
We knew there would be no more stealing.
You promised us we would be winning
While others were deep in their sinning
You told us each day
And showed us the way
Today is only the beginning.
We believed you then as we do now
America would be great again somehow
Reciprocal is what you said
Inequality would be dead
Proof in the pudding shown in the dow.
Companies would return with their jobs
Investments would soar in the Schwabs
We could not believe
What was done to deceive
By those loony lefty mob slobs.
We thank you oh so wholeheartedly
You are our hero greatheartedly
For lifting us up
We raise our cup
To President Trump warmheartedly.
D01: 02/04/2018
Very nice duchess
I’m feeling like having a cup of tea now
Nice lil limerick my friend .
Very .
Trump and myself have two things in common that I know of.
We both don’t drink , smoke or do drugs ,
And we both eat pizza with a knife and fork .
Just sayin

Ceramic translations of the Magnificat at the Church of the Visitation, Ein Karem, near Jerusale
The Magnificat – All that I am – David Haas
Psalm 139
O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Love this so much.
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
And prayers up for all political prisoners. Prayers up for Julian Assange and for all the protesters of January 6 who were or are entrapped in DC. And, thank you, Lord, for restoring Pastor Pawlowski.
Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Amen.
Amen
Amen.
Amen
Amen.
Good night Bett
Hope you had a good day friend

When we left home I turned the thermostat down to 65 deg. Though Gabby was home I figured she has a fur coat and plenty of places to cuddle up and stay warm. Today I fired up the insert in the morning and then let the fire die down because we were leaving for a couple hours. When I got back I fired up the fireplace insert again and kept it going all day.
Gabby the cat laid in front of that insert all day until after Sherry came to bed and the fire burned down and then came to bed with us and is now laying at the bottom of the bed watching an interesting show on Paleontologists finding and digging dinosaur fossils.

1After Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley, where they entered a garden. 2Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples. 3So Judas brought a band of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. They arrived at the garden carrying lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon Him, stepped forward and asked them, “Whom are you seeking?”
5“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
Jesus said, “I am He.”
And Judas His betrayer was standing there with them. 6When Jesus said, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.
7So He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?”
“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered.
8“I told you that I am He,” Jesus replied. “So if you are looking for Me, let these men go.” 9This was to fulfill the word He had spoken: “I have not lost one of those You have given Me.”a
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
