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 †

That gets the ole toes tapping for sure. 😃😃
Yep. 🙂
Definitely toe tapping music. Had to set my coffee down so I wouldn’t slosh it on the floor. Cup was resting on my right knee when listening to them.
Good morning Garrison.

Hi y’all. I just finished my annual VA health benefits update. Yes, I’m a procrastinator.
They keep changing the form. Last year’s form added a “gender” box after the “birth sex”box. The next box asks “are you an Indian?” If so what tribe? Wait, what? How long have we been told that calling our native peoples Indian is bad? VA must have forgotten that.
The new updated 2023 form has dropped that. VA no longer asks what your race/ethnicity is at all but is all about the woke gender crap. Ludicrous!
A happy and blessed Tuesday to everyone.
Good morning, Gramadeb.
Was there a box that you could tick for “All of the Above”??
I think I would have written that one in if not.😎
Good morning to you. My brain is starting to function now that the first cup of coffee is down.
Lol, nah, maybe on next year’s form. VA is not only woke but still in the covid dark ages of masking and distancing.
It’s a beautiful day here, I hope yours is as well.
My Navy vet son uses the VA. He understands exactly what area they belong in. He just had back surgery privately, thanks to President Trump’s efforts. But, good gosh, the hoops he had to jump through, a well as having to push them every step of the way.
To tell the truth, they probably expedited him just to get rid of his persistence. He never let up. He’s his mother’s son all right😎😂
And like you, it takes coffee for the two brain cells I have left into start sparking. After that? No holds barred👍🏻.
Cold here still but not winter cold. I’ll take it!!💕
I’m glad your son was persistent and was able to get his back surgery done privately. I hope he is doing well.
Getting community care can be a toss up depending what day it is and the mood of the person assigning the referrals. I do have to say I have received good care thru VA without too many fights.
Thank you. And you are correct about its being a tossup. So far so good. The alternative was to wait for a surgical procedure by the VA who knows when. And that wasn’t an option for the bone on bone pain he was in. Anyway, it is done now. Thank goodness.
Reminds me of when my husband and I got our marriage. The lady clerk asked ‘race’? We said, ‘human’ and she proceeded to fill in the form according to the answer while shaking her head and smiling.
Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!Good for you both!
Thank you for my laugh of the day, parichute.😂😂😂!!!!
i like to mess with them questions
Thought the kitty in the guitar case was great and here you go with another winner.
Morning, Rusted😊
Let’s see four of them get in this!!
😂😂 Morning, Betsy. Now that would be a good trick!!
Kitty color goes from (left to right) most brown, less brown, hardly any brown to no brown. Quite a clever foursome to arrange themselves like this.

Good morning Treepers
Morning, Joe😊. As JWoo might say, that’s a lotta toe beans. Hugs all around, I say. Who couldn’t use one…or two…or three…or…💕
Good morning Bet.
Toe beans. That’s a good one…lol.
Smokey rubs his face against mine when he jumps on the bed. That cat purrs like a motorboat and he seems to be ok with the dogs so far.
Looking like severe weather on the way here this coming Friday. Here we go again.
Have a blessed day.
JWoo taught me that one❤
There is nothing like the sound of a cat’s motor running. You can feel it as well, that rumble of satisfaction and contentment. That all of them are okay with one another? Hoorah!!
That severe weather was what Rob was talking about the other day. Didn’t know where on the map he provided of the areas which would be affected in Oklahoma you and juststevie were.
I’m sure our turn in the DFW area will come. Prayers for all for what is coming🙏🏻
And if you have an especially POOFY cat – the best is playing with the tufts of fur between the beans.
Our kitties are trained from an early age to allow us to trim their claws with human clippers. They feign protest because they obviously have cat pride and self-esteem to protect – but they will after a moment or two – heave a sigh of protest – flop themselves over on the floor – and allow us to proceed.
Harry Houdini was adopted late – he was 8 months old, so we still work with him.
We are, after all, their peasants.
A lot of toe beans! Love every one of ’em – and yes, hugs are always welcome. I’ll wait until you let go first.
Oprah Winfrey once had a show a million years ago, where I learned an important lesson that stuck with me. When giving a hug, let the other person let go first. Sometimes it will be a quick 2 second hug, and other times – it may linger longer. For a person will take from the hug what he or she needs and those needs change.
So let them let go first.
I read of a teacher who was trying to reach a 17 year old lad who was having a difficult time.
She asked if she could hug him for 60 seconds. He seemed hesitant but agreed.
His grip got tighter as that minute went on. Past 60 seconds. He let go first..
That contact could make all the difference to someone for whom a genuine hug might be a life saver.
..and here is my lesson for the day, JWoo, following your post below and your prayer.
For days and days I have kept that story as that teacher wrote it. Last night I was debriding my memes and saves and ran across it.
I dithered, hummed and hawed, my finger hovering over the delete button….I deleted.
And wouldn’t you know it! Today came the opportunity to post her words as written, plus her very moving message which I paraphrased above.
“Wait for the Lord.” His time is not mine. Patience, Bet…lesson learned.👍🏻🙏🏻
Hugs always make it better. Good morning, Joe. 😃😃
Good morning Rusted.

3/27/2023 – Unto Certain Who Trusted In Themselves That They Were Righteous, And Despised Others
Luke 18:9-14 “And He spoke this parable unto certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-gatherer. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank Thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be put down; and he that humbles himself shall be lifted up.”
The Lord Jesus knows what’s in man; and He addresses the things, by which man is most commonly susceptible to be misled. God knows that our old fallen nature still wants to hide among the trees of the garden, and sew fig leaves, to hide the sin’s deserving shame. The reason for God calling us from out of our hiding place, is to bring everything to light for judgment. Trusting in one’s self that he is righteous, is hiding and sewing fig leaves for aprons, in God’s estimation.
The Pharisee in this parable believed that he was safe and secure in his hiding place; while the tax-gatherer clearly knew he had no place to hide from God, and bowed his head in shame, to acknowledge the truth. One man was living in a complete fantasy in his mind; the other was honest, and living in reality. Being of the Truth can only be honest and realistic. Having something that intentionally hides and turns the attention away from our true nature and behavior, is called hypocrisy, stage-playing; which God does not respect, and will not accept for an account of ourselves to Him.
Some of the most cunning and deceitful tricks of the devil, are not surprisingly most effective with those who want an outward religious appearance to hide their true nature and behavior. For who really has been the most tricked and manipulated of the devil, as the one who through religion, thinks he’s better that others? And keeping a rigorous methodology, and system of traditions, and a pious costume; are quite effective and attractive substitutes for honesty and integrity; plus they help to keep one at a safe distance from anything that might penetrate his conscience. That is why they sought to kill Jesus, because He exposed their hypocrisy, and threatened their illusion of power and superiority.
One sees himself really quite the model saint, and is grateful to God for it; and the other sees himself clearly not fit for the Presence of God, but hopes in His kindness to forgive him. Which one then is really the most honest to God? Which one also, do you suppose, would really be more able to help someone else come to know the Lord; the one who has himself experienced mercy and judgment and forgiveness and healing; or the ‘holier than thou finger pointer’? The one who knows how much he has been forgiven, has the experience and wisdom which others can relate to, if they too are honest and sincere with God. The other however may have truck loads of long standing traditions and methodologies, and beautiful robes, and the best seats in the Synagogues; the only thing missing, of course, is the Presence of the Holy Spirit.
“Nemo dat quod non habet” The Latin language has its own uniqueness. You can express many things in a few words. ‘Nemo dat quod non habet’ means, ‘you cannot give what you do not have’.
Legal principle: Nemo dat quod non habet, literally meaning “no one can give what they do not have”, is a legal rule, sometimes called the nemo dat rule, that states that the purchase of a possession from someone who has no ownership right to it also denies the purchaser any ownership title. So putting that in religious terms, when there is no real conversion, no Holy Spirit, no real work of grace in the heart; anyone who might be led to believe he can gain possession of any of these things of Christ, simply cannot! The one ‘selling’ the property, has himself no legal ownership of said property; so the ‘buyer’ better watch his wallet, and take heed what he’s sign on to.
As the Lord said in another place, You shall know them by their fruits; for men do not gather a bunch of grapes from thorns, neither do they pick figs from thistles: the good tree produces the good fruit, and cannot produce bad fruit; but the rotten tree produces bad fruit, and has no power to produce good fruit. Hypocrisy and thinking one’s self better than others, and thinking that God is like them; is bad fruit.
Honesty and humility and faith in the goodness and mercy of God, is good fruit. We know what kind a man is by his fruits. Is his life an reflection of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ? Is there some resemblance that people would recognize, that he has been with Jesus? Or is he something quite unrecognizable, as anyone who knows Jesus, and God’s great mercy and mighty power to save? Whatever men may think of us, we want the Lord to see us the way God saw the tax-gatherer in this parable: we want to come from our prayers in His Presence, justified, counted righteous.
Psalms 90:8 “Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance.”
John 3:17-21 “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believes on Him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, for fear that his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”

I felt strongly to post this message. As always, it is for all of you to judge, whether it be of the Lord or not.
Isaiah 8:7-18 “Now therefore, behold, the LORD brings up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria (Antichrist), and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks (666): and he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Emmanuel.
Associate yourselves, O you people, and you shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all you of far countries: gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and you shall be broken in pieces. Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say you not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear you their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the LORD of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. And He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Bind up the testimony, seal the law among My disciples. And I will wait upon the LORD, that hides His face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for Him. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given Me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwells in mount Zion.” (Read also now Revelation 13 & 17-18)
Interpretation:
The Antichrist coming up like a river over all his channels, and over all his banks, overflowing and going over, reaching even to the neck, spreading his wings over the breadth of the Lord’s land; is all restraint being removed by God, to finally give them all that they have imagined to do, to break the bands asunder, and cast away the cords from them; to set themselves against Jehovah, and against His Anointed.
Even now is this Alliance being formed, girding themselves for war, recruiting all nations to join the Alliance; under the Yuan Digital Currency. The first target of the beast is to destroy the great whore, which has made herself rich by her whoredom, upon the back of the beast. Well over 80% of the world’s population is already applying, or expressing desire to join the Alliance. The catalyst which is driving their urgency is the whoredom of the current ruler of the world money and political system.
After having done God’s will, and executed His judgment upon the great whore, the fourth and final kingdom, I believe, will have its appointed dominion over all the earth. It will be required that everyone use the digital currency system; but we have the express commandment from the LORD, NOT to yield to the pressure put on us, to join their Alliance; for we are here to be His witnesses, for signs and wonders, to bear the words of God to the world up to as far as the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We are not to be afraid of their warring against us, nor for our necessary comforts: for the Lord will be our Sanctuary and our Fortress of protection. This therefore will be the hour of trial that has been foretold to come upon all the earth; and what will prove the patience and faith of the saints. There will be many that cannot keep it together, because they have not prepared themselves, by maintaining the oil in their lamps, of love for Jesus, resisting sin and temptations and the love of the world; and will out of fear for their own lives, betray us who are holding fast in our faith. “But he that endures to the end shall be saved.”
I could wish that some miracle of deliverance might happen to prevent all these things; but all I can say, is it sure looks like this is it. Do you know Jesus? Have you repented and are born again? Have you received the Holy Spirit, and are reading your Bible every day, and watching and praying and LOVING YOUR CHRISTIAN BRETHREN AS CHRIST HAS LOVED YOU? The day of grace is passing quickly, and the time of bare faced trust and obedience no matter what, is come. We have been told all things, and have been provided all that we will need. Now its time for us to walk in those things we have received and learned; and draw closer and more of one heart and one soul, than ever before.
Thank you,
This is what I needed to read today. I needed a “cleanse” from all negatives that are abundant in general ways of Life. It took me back to my great grandmother from SW Virginia. She had a pendant with one mustard seed inside. We use to fish for trout in the streams surrounding the tristate area VA, TN NC. She told me as a young man, if you have Faith the size of a mustard seed you can move mountains.
The Holy Spirit that I find in this refuge, is close to what I feel she meant for me to understand.
God Bless us All. We all have work to do, and it’s still raining hard.
Wheel
I’m happy you were helped by it. “He that waters, himself also gets watered!”
Have a great day, The Lord be with you.
Good morning, God.
This picture makes me homesick.
Thanks Joe 🙂
You’re welcome, Michael.
And good morning to you.
Mornin’ Joe.
I’ve been watching The Rich Dad – Robert Kiyosaki and Andy Schectman on what’s going on with the Banks and the whole world money system. I’ll post the urls for you. Extremely serious things. My question is, how much is gold or silver really gonna make any difference? Who is gonna be trading in gold and silver? The Grocery Outlet, Amazon and Walmart? The big change is being set up to be on the Yuan Digital currency. Apparently there’s more than 80% of the world’s population already champing at the bit to go with them.
Is the bank system sound? – SPECIAL EPISODE – Robert Kiyosaki, Andy Schectman – Part 1
New Global Reserve Currency – SPECIAL EPISODE – Robert Kiyosaki, Andy Schectman – Part 2
I have been following this issue as well. It doesn’t look good.
Hi Christine.
Doesn’t look good INDEED!
I’m realizing more and more each day, that faith is not stoic; but believing the truth, so that it does what it knows is right, and walks according to the knowledge and understanding, with a good conscience. Faith is the epitome of courage, because it does what it has to with honor and integrity, against the fear.
I wish you a blessed day, “Looking away unto Jesus, the Leader and Completer of faith!”
Michael, Thats one reason they make fractional bars of gold & silver and fractional cons that are less than 1 oz of .999 silver or gold. A 1/10th oz. of silver is worth about $2.50 right now. If the economy collapses along with the banks, then Yes, at east some stores who wish to sell anything will likely accept valid silver coins, fractional bars, or rounds with mint marks.
Hey GB,
Thanks. I worked many years in Retail; and I’m not sure how that would work, except with small privately owned businesses? Everyone is tied into “the Beast;” you know, with the computers and the whole ordering and supply chain operations? We saw what they did with the ccp virus/jab “operation” recently; how EVERYONE was on board to do exactly what they were told. I retired to not have to take the jab; thank the Lord I was just old enough, even though the devil got to rob me (by two weeks) of my ten years mark. (If you know anything about the Federal Employment system).
Somewhere in this scene is my Chocolate Lab, Susie. How she loved to dive into waves. The only times she was ever exhausted were at the end of beach or lake days. Thank you Joe for letting me see the tiniest tip of Susie’s tail in all that beautiful froth.
Beautiful, so beautiful!!
Some would look for sea shells. But look what I found! “Mom, can I keep him??!?!”
I can smell the salt water and feel the spray on my face. My toes are itching for a little sand dance.
Did Hendrix always play his guitar upside down?
He was a lefty 🙂
My son and his wife just moved to Frankfurt, Germany. They took their baby and their two cats.
The male Tuxedo cat has escaped into the garden and not returned yet. There is a field nearby but I fear he is so new to the place he is lost. It has been a week.
His name is Sonic and he is a sweetie. Prayers or ideas for his safe return. I know there are more terrible and important things but
he has been with them for twelve years. Food is out. They have put out pictures…contacted shelters. Darn cat.
He is probably watching them from a hiding place.
Our kitties are pretty darned important! Praying! 🐾🙏🐾
Thank you Lorrie!
Linda
Tell them to go to McDonald’s and get a fish sandwich or to a bbq joint and get a pulled pork sandwich put it down near the last place they saw him
Tell them to lay down on their back about ten feet away from the sandwich and sings songs he may recognize .
Just sayin. Not joking
☘️
Thank you Molonlabe. My son may try it.
Please do
The guy may be spooked.
If he is he may not come to you. That’s why , lay down .
Tell him bring his blanket too , the smellier the better
☘️
Abundant prayers, lindak. So many.🙏🏻 Someone will find him.
Thank you Betsy!.
💕 I’m a fretter when one or mine would disappear, as did our first rescue in Wales.
Always a homebody, he would wander in the woods behind us. One day he didn’t come home. After a week of worrying and then thinking that was the last we’d see of him, we were working in the garden when he heard his little trilly call and looked up to see him.
To this day we cannot figure out where he was for that week.
Another time we gave a kitten to a family miles from us. About two months later you can imagine the shock of finding him back on our doorstep. Bigger and fit. Return of the Native.
Please, please let us know…We are all with them in spirit on this.
Thank you!
💕👍🏻
Probably at one of the neighbors? I had a cat once who did that; he’d stay here for a while, and then go stay by his other family about a half a block down. I think eventually he just became a street cat; ’cause I didn’t see him for a long time; and then one day I see him walking up the sidewalk toward my place; and I got scared! He was full grown of course, a nice big cream colored guy; but his head was huge, like he’d become a real Boss in the neighborhood!
I know I told this before; but anyway, I had by that time a new little orange tiger that a neighbor friend gave me, that was still little. And when my old friend came back into my apartment that day, I was worried how he would do with the little fella. But he just sat there “visiting” not saying anything of course, but just hanging out; for about an hour I think, and then he left. He was very quiet and “grown up” and patient with the youngster; and when he was done saying Hi, that was the last I saw him.
Cats are resourceful. That’s for sure.
Thank you Michael.
Michael, good guess, except our neighbours were farms far far apart.
That’s a melancholic story. Sad…
Tell them to put out his litter box. They can smell their way home. Clothing they wear, or blankets the cat uses – cat beds.
Praying his safe return.
Amen JWoo
You got it
☘️
Thank yoi JWoo. I will tell them.
linda
please tell them to use every bit of social media . i do not use it , but i know facbook has groups , local and national and regional . people will help . go on and talk on all groups . get into it . be pro active . you can get help , im talkin help like in the movies , people walking arm and arm through the woods , ive seen it in action . you would be surprised.
another thing Linda . talk to everyone you can. knock on doors. be really aggressive. people will respond and help.
I think they have talked to all the neighbors and put out “lost” signs. He must be hiding and coming out at night?
Tell them to put out his litter box. They can smell their way home.
That seems like sound advice
Another thing I can think of is train them to a loud sound ahead of time
When they’re out but within earshot, call to them and also whack something loud, like a wooden spoon on a cooking pot
You wouldn’t need to do it all the time, just occasionally, the idea being to train them to a loud sound that’ll carry farther than your voice when the get real far away
Then, when they really go missing, be whacking the pot loudly each time you go out to call
I’m guessing they’ll have more chance to hear the whacking from far away than your voice
But the key is you’d want to train them well before, can’t wait til they go missing
I didn’t know people could actually “train” cats! I thought it was really the other way around. 🙂
That might work. When I rattle their crunchy food they all come running.
That’s smart! Putting out things with familiar smells! 🙂
Glorious Saint Francis of Assisi, blessed, blessed are you, for you left us a legacy of immense goodness towards the needy, towards the weak, towards the helpless; Saint Francis, blessed, blessed are you today and always, because with humility and virtue you loved all creatures and gave yourself without measure to give them love, peace and help. Saint Francis of Assisi, a beautiful example of humility, to whom God has glorified and granted the grace that innumerable miracles may be performed through your mediation, and has manifested his will that we come to you and trust in your very effective protection and mediation.
Today we come to you and invoke you with all our affections, with our hope and total confidence in your power, to beg you to be our ambassador before the Lord and with your usual kindness to beg for our pets, for the animals that are in our charge. and that now require the aid of your prodigious assistance. You, my good saint, full of virtues and celestial graces, who in your earthly life gave great love to animals and now from Heaven you help them with generosity, you who send blessings especially to those who suffer, and I ask for your support, the guardian and protector of Sonic, that you receive him with love in your great and good heart and ask God for mercy and compassion for him
Oh my heart…..🙏🏻
I thought of St Francis this morning when I read of the wanderer in a far country.
Your prayer is eloquent and so lovely. Thank you.💕
Thank you so much for that powerful prayer! There is so much trouble in this world I feel my cause is quite humble compared to the problems we all face!
So, I don’t usually confide in my cats but I did tell them of Sonic’s plight. He and Nikita, my son’s other cat, lived here with us for five months while my son and his wife have been moving. So, I am attached to these cats and they all know each other well.
I also brought it up to my horse, who is a very astute listener and no stranger to dire situations.
You never know about animal communication!
keep us filled in linda
and dont ever give up
could take a while . you know that , you have animals
No you do not!!!!!! More and more my husband and I say this. Especially when we see videos of animal behaviour, either alone or with different breeds to themselves which I can describe only as jaw dropping. We know nothing really.
I cannot help but have confidence in all the attention, thought and prayer you all have brought to this situation. It makes me feel better about it and I am hopeful for a good outcome. Thank you Treepers!
My son is working as a technical engineer for Apple and since he is in Germany he is covering the overnight shift. Twice he has seem a Russian Blue cat come to the feeder at 3:00 am , but Sonic is not with him. I think he will have to go out and call to him.
WOW! That person was lucky he didn’t get hit! Did you see how close he was when it fell?
Wait for it.
Driver walked away!
There’s no avoiding that. Someone’s guardian angel was on duty.
Worse than hitting a deer!
pick up rears had spacers for the look or bigger tires–evidently a poor choice
It came off the front.
It had spacers all around.

Blame The NRA
Posted on March 27, 2023 by tonyheller
Democrats said they were going to do background checks to prevent sales of weapons to mentally ill people. It appears that didn’t happen.
Blame The NRA | Real Climate Science
They don’t claim trans as a mental illness anymore. This is what happens.
The drugs given to ‘transition’ people are damaging on par with psych drugs…
both categories make whatever’s wrong internally, a whole lot worse.
pHARMa’s incestuous relationship with gov’t. is/has been a huge problem for a very long time;
pHARMa is the bigge$t funder/lobby of both ‘parties’ by more than double the oil/gas lobby…
both parties protect pHARMa from exposure AND real, meaningful accountability for the multiple layers of havoc they wreak on their targets – the people – while raking in exponentially increasing profits. When they are fined for some kind of illegal dealings/misconduct, they are fined a pittance in proportion to the profits made from the dirty dealings prior to – it’s considered “the cost of doing business” and it deters zero illegal infraction.
The US gov’t. is the only in the world that allows pHARMakeia to advertise/promote their drugs on TV, and the lobby-method applies there too; pHARMa $pend$/inject$ so much ad money into the media industry – is their majority funder – that they too are complicit in facilitating – they are the mouthpiece & megaphone of – the agenda of the convicted serial felon international patent drug cartel.
Those who commit their heinous crimes have the ConMedpHARMafia to thank for their untimely end.
“… I investigated the 10 biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world, and found out that their business model fulfills the criteria for organized crime according to US law….”
~ Dr. Peter Gotzsche, author Deadly Medicine and Organized Crime
“Medicine, its practice in general. [1] I was at one time a great lover of the medical profession. . . . I no longer hold that opinion. . . . Doctors have almost unhinged us. . . . I regard the present system as black magic. . . . Hospitals are institutions for propagating sin. Men take less care of their bodies and immorality increases. . . . ignoring the soul, the profession puts men at its mercy and contributes to the diminution of human dignity and self control. . . . I have endeavoured to show that there is no real service of humanity in the profession, and that it is injurious to mankind. . . . I believe that a multiplicity of hospitals is not test of civilization. It is rather a symptom of decay.” ~Mahatma Gandhi, The Health Guide, 1965.
Does your representative take pHARMa $$$? Actually the more germane question is “How much pHARMa money does he/she accept”??? Do they agree there are only 2 genders?
All schools!!!! Lock your doors!! Every single one!
She/he shot out the door.
Oh…missed that. Can’t get out of my head the faces of those who will not return home to those who loved them.
This was disgusting, but then Biden is disgusting among other things.
The man is reprehensible and a complete disgrace, and worse.

Sigh – with the farming land grab up here and the massive concrete tilt up warehouses that mostly stand empty – I am glad I didn’t buy, but now probably couldn’t afford what’s being sold. Pay only goes so far when the looney tunes stealing it misappropriate it.

I blame Jane Fonda who went on TV not too long ago and opined that it was time to kill Christians who are against people with multiple personality disorder (trans people) having the last word on what is and isn’t acceptable in society.

Good morning, dear molon💕 We were made for another world… a better one. Oh so much better. Our noses are pressed to the panes of the windows of the House we are longing to live in.
The door to that House is open, and its Owner bids us welcome. The invitation says so…who could refuse it? 🙏🏻💕

Good morning Bett
Yesterday was a fun day in the tree 🌲 🌲 🌲
You know what , we finished the day with 333
comments .
Good times
☘️
How we picture some people in our heads !?
Let me please tell you how I picture you.
I had a dear friend name
Julia Child . She was a chef and a good one too.
We spent many hours in her kitchen together .
And I can describe her kitchen to a tee. It was small but she made use of every inch. She had peg board on the back wall and she outlined every piece of her utensils so you knew where it went and she would get mad if everything wasn’t in place. When she had parties at her place , I would cook ,well , I didn’t really cook , I put out what she had made earlier, she would entertain , and an entertainer she was. How she loved to talk talk talk. Her husband Paul was such a sweet man. Didn’t talk much but when we talked he mostly talked of Julia , he adored her.
You would have thought Julia was a Brit but she was pure American. She had this way of speaking that just consumed you, you had to listen if she was speaking and you loved it .What a wonderful lady she was.
Never forget , one time in her kitchen we were both at the sink. . The kitchen was small , she turned and looked at me with a smile and said “ friend , this is fun , you do good “ , she reached over to her right , I reached over to my left , we grabbed our glasses and clinked.
She always drank when she cooked . Loved wine or a good snifter full.
Her 80th birthday party we had so much fun. She didn’t stop talking and always had something nice to say to whoever she spoke with.
You remind me of her my friend ☘️🌸☘️
Sorry to go on and on Bett, but yesterday you told me to tell more stories and saying that to me , well well
You don’t have to ask me twice
Just sayin
☘️☘️☘️
Read below and you will understand why I adore stories like yours!💕
THE Julia Child??? It has to be because THE Julia Child’s husband was named Paul. THAT Julia Child????
Yes , that one , her husband was Paul.
While Julia was doing her thing Paul was always there but he would sit and watch and listen and worry. He was such a meek guy but smart . Smartest guy in the room . He watched out for her always . Her kitchen Bett , it was tiny.
Tiny house she had in Cambridge. Small cape cod style . Not fancy . The kind when you opened the front door you looked straight up the upstairs.
Good people they where.
She did say something else to me that day at the sink but I didn’t think it was appropriate. Anyways , she said also , with a scowl,
“ don’t touch my a…..”
We laughed soo hard
☘️
And Bett
I only describe her kitchen in detail cuz I don’t want you to think I’m making stuff up . I could tell you everything you asked about inside her house.
I would never make it up
Ever
I met a lot of cool people because of what I did in my time.
I strived to be the very best at what I did and it brought me many places.
Like Garrison , he’s met some unbelievable people and he ain’t afraid to tell it and admire him for that.
Made me think
Why not
It’s just sharing the fun times
☘️
Oh I LOVE IT!!!! I know you, Molon. Stuffing up? Never ever, dearest brother. Ever! Share away…never stop!😘
Oh….I’d love a tiny kitchen. A place for everything, and everything in its place, all within reach.
Well, I’ll tell you, dear friend. The way you’ve described her is exactly how my in-laws as were at one time were. Exactly. My mother in law and her sisters were all bigger than life and were marvelous cooks. They and their crowd needed no excuse to have a gathering where everyone came for the food. They were small town folk but were known far and wide for their hospitality. No airs at all. All were welcome. One time the Lt Governor of Texas dropped by for breakfast. The famous pediatrician and author Dr T Berry Brazelton was a distant cousin who would appear…and be instantly welcomed.
They compiled a cookbook of family recipes from throughout the generations. Tested each one and published it themselves. Called it “Bounty on the Brazos” and hoped they would recoup their initial investment. It went to three printings and sold out.
And while I do not drink, you’d be forgiven for thinking I do😁. I was vaccinated with a phonograph needle. But I like to hear others talk more. Put a picture of short, shrinking me (4’11”) next to the definition of “people person”? That’s who I am.
I am overwhelmed with your sweet, generous compliment, dear friend. Into my heart it goes where I shall treasure it. I wish I’d known your friend…💕
And yes! Yesterday was a good day in this Tree. I remember when this thread would garner, tops, about 75 comments. Prayed more would find it because it is such a special place full of the most amazing, interesting, wonderful companions on life’s road we are all on. Fellow travellers.
If I say almost immediately our numbers started to increase. And this is why I know without doubt Almighty God is amongst our more than two or three. Could there be a better gathering place?
I think not…🙏🏻💕
Julia loved to entertain
She had I think about 80
80th birthday parties
But just one at her house
You were there
☘️
I know you
☘️
Someone just like you was there
☘️
Your just like her but she was a pretty big lady .
I also don’t drink .
I’d be drunk on the joy and conversation. That would be enough for me.😁
And yes, you do know me.
I always say we might not know each other’s faces, but we know each other’s hearts…if I had to choose one, I’d choose the latter.💕
Bett
One of those
Amazing interesting wonderful companions you talked about is right here.
Below
J
When I heard her tell a story one night I knew right away
I’m in the right spot
These people are for real
I related to her story she was lettin it out as is
I could tell it wasn’t made up comment section bs.
She talked of her work in metals and such.
Stuff way above my pay grade. And others with such great minds like professors and pros.
Such intellect I’m not in the same league.
I’ve worked at some great places and met outstanding people and this is just a continuation of the journey .
Love this place
Thanks for letting me share
Just sayin
☘️☘️☘️
We may not have the same capabilities or experiences or aptitudes.
But one thing we share is our common humanity. That binds us all.
Keep on talking, my brother. The day you decided to take up a branch in this Tree of ours was a blessing of magnitudes for us all. That comes from my heart and I hope you will know and feel it.💕
Hi Bet. I think we might out of the high risk zone for tornadoes according to this stream. DFW and central Oklahoma are close but not actually in the severe weather risk zone. I’ll keep an eye on the various Livestreams Friday evening. These risk zones could shift anytime.
Here’s another source.
Oh shoot…I’d hoped not. I pray not, Joe. Lots of them, my friend🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Cool story, Molon. Yes, I can see Besty Beasty Betsy in this.
I’d have to restrain myself😎😂
ISN’T THERE SOME MISUNDERSTANDING?
“Let us go into Judea. His disciples say unto Him…Goest Thou thither again?” John xi. 7-8
I may not understand what Jesus Christ says, but it is dangerous to say that therefore He was mistaken in what He said. It is never right to think that my obedience to a work of God will bring dishonour to Jesus. The only thing that will bring dishonour is not obeying Him. To put my view of His honour in place of what He is plainly impelling me to do is never right, although it may arise from a real desire to prevent Him being put to open shame. I know when the proposition comes from God because of its quiet persistence: When I have to weigh the PROS and CONS, and doubt and debate come in, I am bringing in an element that is not of God, and I come to the conclusion that the suggestion was not a right one. Many of us are loyal to our notions of Jesus Christ, but how many of us are loyal to Him? Loyalty to Jesus means I have to step out where I do not see anything (cf. Matt. xiv. 29); loyalty to my notions means that I clear the ground first by my intelligence. Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.
Are you debating whether to take a step in faith in Jesus or to wait until you can see how to do the thing yourself? Obey Him with glad reckless joy. When He says something and you begin to debate, it is because you have a conception of His honour which is not His honour. Are you loyal to Jesus or loyal to your notion of Him? Are you loyal to what He says, or are you trying to compromise with conceptions which never came from Him? “Whatsoever He saith unto you, DO IT.”
Oswald Chambers
March 28th Devotional
“Do it”
I understand. 😊
☘️🌸☘️
Good morning to you my dearest friend ☘️🌸☘️
landline
thank you
father frank is one of the good guys
he really is
thanks
Good morning, dear sister. It may seem incongruous, but with this wonderful devotional about faith, and in particular its wording “Are you debating whether to take a step in faith in Jesus…”, the image rises in my head instantly of the third Indiana Jones movie wherein Jones stands on the edge of a deadly precipice, needing to get to the other side, but seeing no way to get there.
Hand on his heart and eyes closed, quoting from scriptures, he extends a foot, and in faith brings it down…onto the narrow camouflaged pathway which he couldn’t see.
In truth, for me, this short scene is how I understand faith. Hand on heart, trusting, stepping out…and leaving all to Almighty God. Blessed be your Friday, my friend.😘
Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. – 1 Timothy 6:11
God loved humankind since Creation, yet, from early on, man was a faithless friend. The prophet Isaiah shared God’s sentiment, “I spread out my hands all day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good” (Isaiah 65:2).
God sent His Son to Earth in continuance of His loving pursuit, yet again, His creation refused Him, brutally shoving away His gift. Jesus revealed God’s broken heart, lamenting, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!” (Matthew 23:37).
The story of human history is the story of a spurned affection. However, one day that tale will be complete. God will separate those who want nothing to do with His love from those who welcome and cherish His devotion. He will create again, this time a place where His love is celebrated: ”They sang a new song, saying, worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God” (Revelation 5:9-10).
God has pursued you with love to extraordinary lengths. Have you considered what you pursue with that type of passion? Set your sites on Him in return, knowing His love deeper and better. Pray for those in American leadership who have previously rejected God’s fellowship to have their eyes and hearts opened to His love and to choose Him today.

MORNING
Be strong and of a good courage. Josh. 1:18
The LORD is my light and my salvation: whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life: of whom shall I be afraid? Psa. 27:1
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isa. 40:29-31
My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. Psa. 73:26
If God be for us, who can be against us? Rom. 8:31
The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? Psa. 118:6
Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. Psa. 44:5
We are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Rom. 8:37
Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee. I Chron. 22:16
EVENING
Our friend sleepeth. John 11:11
I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. I Thess. 4:13, 14
If the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. I Cor. 15:16-18, 20
It came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests’ feet stood firm, twelve stones…. and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever. Josh. 4:1, 3, 7
This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Acts 2:32
Witnesses chosen before of God…. who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

Mornin’ all!
1857 built Opera stage with Grand Piano at the Opera Company of Philadelphia at the Academy of Music, Philadelphia P
Yuja Wang – Mozart – Turkish March
The world renown Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Flórez studied at the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. I’ll bet he has performed on this stage in this magnificent hall.
Here he is with one of the most difficult Donizetti arias a tenor could tackle.

Perfection!
And, molon, I am leaving for you one of my favourite piano concerts by a composer you will not recognize…Wilhelm Stenhammer.
I heard it first when we were living in Wales. Every movement a revelation, with the last one an absolute triumph. For me, overwhelmingly so. I commend it for your listening.💕
++Holy moly that was fast
Sorry to intrude on this cat blog, but we are told to only post appropriate items.
Over on the right hand side of the world, us in Britain and Ireland are in a celebratory mood (not).
With the appointment of a Muslim named Humza Youssef (or Useless as he is dubbed) as first minister of the province of Scotland, we now have a full hand.
In London the Prime minister is a Hindu as is the Prime minister of Ireland.
The mayor of London is an extreme muslin.
The Scottish guy will be kept in power by the support of an extreme homosexual named Patrick Harvey of the green party, who would be thrown from a high building in a Muslin country.
In Dublin the minister for children is an extreme homosexual whose predeserror was a practising witch.
Honestly my American friends I am not making this s##t up but may be a slight diversion from felines.
They are anti-White.
They are anti-Christian.
Good morning, Patrick. We saw this. Just when we think the land we love cannot fall further, this happens. I am feeling what you are. There are no words of comfort I can give you…and I’ve tried, believe me. God bless the people of the UK and Ireland, my friend. We weep with you…and pray for all of you.🙏🏻

We have a Presidential candidate here in the US who is also Hindi and he is rising as a “darling” of the RINO party in Central Indiana. We should proceed with extreme caution.
He talks a good talk, but you know they are trained that way. “Hope and change” and all that crap we learned with Obama – we should always ask “Who is hoping?” and “Change to what exactly?”

All the illegal immigrants flooding the USA borders are not of Russian or Chinese descent.
Too many are indeed now of Chinese descent, JWoo. How did they get to the border to cross in the numbers they are? Very suspicious I’d say.
How did they get to Mexico? Fly in? Come up from the south? I’d really like to know that.
Is there a sizable presence of Chinese in Central/South America?
Are they sent by the Chinese? What is their financial situation? So many questions.
One of those obvious questions no one asks or dares to, patty. I suspect the answer to that one is known.
Patrick Healy, a very appropriated visit. All countries have their highs and lows. HK is living from decisions taken more than a century ago. Hindustani were praised by their maths skills. Only Portugal has a longer experience dealing with Hindustani and look the global low level of that country. A bit of religion (cath, musl, etc) his good for keeping normal decency.
People need time to sort themselves out of a deep well.
Heavenly Father, our country needs You.
We have turned away from You and evil
forces are pervading our land. Pour Your
Holy Spirit on us. Open our eyes and ears to
the evil around us. Raise up leaders who
love and follow You. Give us courage to
speak up so that we can once again live as
one nation under God. Unite us. Protect us.
Forgive us. We ask all this in Jesus’ name.
Amen.

If you haven’t noticed there is a characteristic cycle for most alarmist propaganda. When the weather doesn’t cooperate with their projections in one place they ignore that area and focus on some other area. When the ice in the Arctic doesn’t do what they said it was going to do they will go hunting for something to try and turn into a disaster in Antarctica.
Here is the trend for Antarctic sea ice.
And here is the trend for Arctic sea ice.
Sometimes doing math tells us a lot. Othertimes it tells us nothing. It can even hide the truth.
So…. they address 16 years out of __?__(thousand / million / billion) ? Now THAT’S conclusive. (NOT).
Good morning, Treeper, friends. Sharing my prayer with you this morning, as I am sure there are many out there, who might find it helpful. Blessings and love.
Heavenly Father,
I want You to be first. The world is very good at distracting and causing anxiety.
Lord, I know that anxiety is the sin of faithlessness. Father, forgive me when I wring my hands and wonder “What to do?” You lead us in the path of righteousness for Your Name’s sake (Psalm 23) and we are so humbled that You give us shelter (Psalm 27).
Help me to lean fully into You today and every day. Thank You, Father, for Your blessings and provision.
In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Psalm 27 (NIV)Of David.1
The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2
When the wicked advance against me
to devour[a] me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3
Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
4
One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5
For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
6
Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
7
Hear my voice when I call, Lord;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8
My heart says of you, “Seek his face!”
Your face, Lord, I will seek.
9
Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
God my Savior.
10
Though my father and mother forsake me,
the Lord will receive me.
11
Teach me your way, Lord;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12
Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.
13
I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.

Good day dear friends – just adding a favorite from Roger Whittaker – enjoy
Your outstretched hand of rescue!
Your hand of rescue is Truth, it’s love, Gods word, Jesus.
There is a mass of people headed over a cliff and many stand with outstretched arms and hands. Not everyone will take that hand, they may not see it at the time or place they are but some will, keep it there. Keep speaking the truth and live a life that needs no excuses or apologies so that when your testimony is given it does not offend.
You are not condemned by God but man and yourself, God is love he cannot condemn.
I’ve spent a couple hours going over the NOAA Severe weather and NWS sites. I need to correct something I said about tornado classification yesterday. My information was apparently outdated and now NOAA has three classifications for tornadoes. They are:
Weak: EF-0 and EF-1
Strong: EF-2 and EF-3
Violent: EF-4 and EF-5
What I said about EF-3 and higher causing almost all injuries and fatalities still stands.

Brit hubby is a remarkable painter. Watercolours. And our beloved nearly 15 year old granddaughter is an incredibly talented artist. I know you’d expect me to say that, but her work with pencil and watercolours is astounding. She understands shadows and lights and even the smallest detail is not ignored.
I have a friend in Wales who also sketches and paints. We have a few of his works hanging in our house. And I have a watercolour painted by King Charles also. It is a limited edition of Tetbury Church in Gloucestershire. Very muted colours. I’ll try to post the link I’ve found of it.

Post a pic or two B? (of Hubs work)
We’ve tried, parichute, but it defeated us. And my hubby is a whizz with computers.
It’s my granddaughter’s work that is astounding. When she was 12 she took a picture of our cat, and unbeknownst to us replicated it in pencil. It was better than the photograph. Every hair, the look in his eyes, everything. I remember her when she was small, colouring.
She drew the balloon from “Up”, with about one hundred small balloons in different colours. She was 8.
When she showed it to me I thought she’d misjudged the placement on the paper because about a third of it was not there… at the top. But in about two seconds I realized what she’d done.
She visualized it disappearing off the page, something I would have never thought of doing. It was so real that for a split second I looked over the top of the paper she’d drawn on, expecting to see it floating skyward.
I have no artistic talent myself, so I am always in awe of anything anyone can do which I can not. What a joy it must be to be able to paint.💕
ML – do you come from New Hampshire or were you just visiting for the concert, with you ‘babe’? I live in RI and have been to NH often. Live Free or Die!
pari
I was visiting. I know New Hampshire like the back of my hand though. and Watkins glen, I went there a lot to watch motorcycle races. loved the Kancamagus highway, Swift River was a favorite spot. Maine was even better, the Allagash wilderness waterway and also the Rangeley Lake district I traveled to often. you’re from RI. I have some memories of RI. remember when the tall ships came into Newport, I worked on one of the ships. mostly below deck was I. big dang ships they were. I liked being on big boats and yachts and worked on lots of them. there’s a spot in Newport, along the main coast road with many many many wealthy people living there. I’ve been to parties and weddings along there that you would not believe. one wedding I went to; the bill was four mil. no problem, thanks daddy. the flowers at this wedding where unbelievable. it was right on the water. Ten-minute walk to get from the dock to the driveway. could tell stories about who and what went on at them parties but, whatever. huge houses with garages as big as my house
RI has a lot of good restaurants. used to go to one right near Johnson and Wales school, forget the name of it.
thanks for asking friend
this is a fun place
…
just got through readin the stories by sundance. all of them.
… i need this place …
my brain needs a break ….
…come here it says , so i do
Hello ML (your name reminds me of Charlton Heston’s famous line about ‘out of my cold dead hands…”).
The Kancamagus…. I too spent time in some of the whirlpools of the Swift River…. the definition of cold water. In RI/Newport, I believe you are referring to Ocean Road and the Mansions… The Breakers, The Elms, Rosecliff, etc. I’ve been inside most of them plus the ‘house’ where Jackie Bouvier was raised, Hammersmith Farms. There are so many great restaurants here that even I, at my age, have not been able to tackle all of them. Some of the restaurants near J&W campus have changed over the years, but for upscale, Cappricio is still there. If you wanted high-end deli classics and great drinks, the place to go was Christophers. I’m really enjoying your stories (I, personally, am not a ‘talker or storyteller’ but am an avid reader and more of an ‘explainer’, alas); you are adding a new and wonderful dimension to the current version of the Tree, thank you. Your life is like Joseph’s Technicolor Coat – so colorful. Smiles. Its been taking me longer and longer these days to get through all of the postings. Thank God I retired early. Cheers, ma’ dear.
some body .. some where .. is knocking. in real time.
I guess it is trying to scare someone.
I’ve gotta feeling that we are in for a lot more sick perverts going after soft targets. I hope the churches you all attend have real armed security that knows what they’re doing because Christians and Christianity are their targets.
I guess it is alright to console one’s self with the thought that those kids are in heaven and Hale is in hell. But that is not a consolation to me because it would have been much better to send Hale to hell before it killed anyone.
I’m ready for them. Been armed trained and ready for a long time.
sick puppy. I’m all in on freedom but this guy. time out nit wit. let’s talk. someone needs to blow the whistle on this thing.
