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 †

God is very powerful and has a great sense of humour, as you know.
Now you changed your comments from a formal religious (Christian) manner to a new type: joyful, funny, critical.
All these are attributes of Christ and His message.
I’m glad to feel your new mood. Besides, when people show joy and light, they have heavy suffering.
God will be with you forever and ever.
me me…what an interesting observation you make.
I’d like to think that any comment I make is appropriate for the post I am replying to. But curiously I was thinking the same of my recent contributions not three days ago.
How astute you are, my friend. And I appreciate your thoughtful observations and comment very, very much. Thank you for taking the time post it😊
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I’ll add to that Betsy..
👍x10🤣👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
You are so lovely, Jim. You really are….and kind. I am so glad you’re “hanging out’ here, my friend. Bless you bunches😘
Bet
He is a good friend .
Hey Bet
Did you see Jims film he made of his bike road trip.
It was very cool . Especially for when it was made .
It felt like we went for a ride with him and his friend.
☘️🍀☘️
I did!!!! It was incredible! How much fun he must have had. Chris is and always has been a bike enthusiast, so I showed it to him when Jim posted it.
From his face, I knew he really wished he could have had such an experience, molon.😊
I will agree with you that Jim is a very good man whose friendship is much valued.💕

Love you so much, dear, dear friend. What a blessing you are.🍀😘

good night dear friend
🤣🤣🤣
His dream come true, GB😊👍🏻

Are laughing because you’ve been up there.
Up at the chalkboard.
Just wondering 😜
Been BOTH places Molon! At the chalkboard (second grade, laughed at funny wisecrack made by my classmate) and in court successfully talking my way OUT of a wrongly-issued “he rolled the stop sign” ticket…
great feeling , challenging a ticket and winning.
congratulations
thats not easy to do.
i can picture you up there
with the sunglasses on !!!

American ingenuity at its finest, plus a a soupçons of “All righty then…”
That put a smile on my face that will last all day!
I thought of you when I saw this, patty. I am thrilled you saw it!😘
You got me again Betsy.. keep up the good work..
🇺🇸💪🤣👍
😁!! Isn’t it just awesome???
Let’s break this down.
A farm “owner” denied a council permit to build a “horse shelter”. Farm. Horses. How about we just deny the council a right to comment? Ejits.
You got it right, JWoo!! Love your spelling of the correct word for what they are. Never was a rule written by such people that a little clever thinking can’t get around.😁👍🏻
Hillbilly engineering WORKS!
Every time, Greg. Clever.
AND real outside the box thinking👍🏻
What’s everyone listening to?
For us… phew – big morning. Cats’ front and back nails are snipped. Ears are cleaned. Bathed in kitten / puppy Adams flea and tick gentle shampoo. They smell good and have been dutifully rewarded for putting up with their dunkings.
Brunch of buttermilk pancakes, scrambled eggs, Wright hickory real wood smoked bacon, amaretto coffee, orange/peach/mango blend juice.
Kiddo now at work from 2 PM to 10 PM. Laundry underway.
Journal entry to The Lord – done. Books in a neat pile ready to go. Reading selections:
“The Prophetic Warrior” by Stark
“Do Not Leave Quietly” by Murillo
the Zondervan NIV Study Bible
Music loaded in the old-fashioned 5 pack CD stereo player:
Sting – Fields of Gold
Billy Joel – The Complete Hits Collection – CD 3
Dave Matthews – Crash
Dave Matthews – The Best of What’s Around
Marc Antoine – Universal Language
Yes, I understand the irony of the musical selection. Some atheists and flat-out liberals in there. Sad to reminisce of the time that we could put our political differences aside and just bond to good music. I hope these folks find The Lord someday. Everyone has their own special journeys. They sure make some pretty relaxing music. Hope their eyes are opened.

JWoo-Hoo – tired momma – over and out! Can’t wait to go camping and take this party outside under the stars and next to a campfire. Who wants to meet up? We can meet at Clifty Falls State Park in Madison, Indiana – they have an awesome camping site and beautiful, huge swimming pool there. Soooo nice.
Right now . . . Youtube: jazz coffee shop rain. That’ll get me through the afternoon, I think. 🙂
Garrison likes his coffee. Had the Cafe Bustello today. Kiddo thought it was delicious with a little amaretto creamer.
For coffees that come off a bit bitter – a pinch of salt in the grinds will fix that.
For about $3.50 a brick at Aldi’s – Cafe Bustello is a hit!
Coffee + Jazz = Excellent
Love Billy Joel. “And So It Goes” playing now. “Lullabye” up next. Sigh.
This!!! My very favourite piano concerto. From a man nobody has ever heard of, Polish composer Moritz Moskowski.
He wrote only one. But my goodness! A happy virtuosic piece which I never tire of…ever!!
Moskowski Piano Concerto in E major
Thanks, Bet. I’ll give him a listen in a little bit. 🙂
I known you’ll enjoy it.
You are a lady of dignified refinement, Bets.
I was marinated in it, Joan. I know there were times my mother whose passion this music was despaired that I wouldn’t grow to appreciate it. Admittedly it took a while before it happened for me as well.
To each his or her own…and music is so personal. But classical music sustains me and is my passion now. I’d be lost without it.😘
I so enjoyed it, Betsy. Would love to go to the drive in, watch a silent movie, to this accompaniment. That would be fun.
That pleases me so much, JWoo. Heard it first in the UK. Drove to Chester, which is a major city in England 40 minutes of in where we lived and purchased it. Loved it that much.
Wow. My fingers are tired just listening and watching the score…..
(Great piece!)
So glad you listened, GB, and enjoyed it. His short but extremely interesting biography.

As for finger work listen to Saint-Saens Piano Concerto #2, third movement. ZOWIE!!!! Rubenstein performs here.
Pretty good for an old man! 🤣
Seriously though, Rubenstein earned his stellar reputation early on. I have listed to many of his concerts. over the years, but much so since YouTube came into being….
YouTube has provided me with many, many hours of pleasure. CDs are too expensive, and I’ve discovered many composers I knew nothing of and whose works have captivated me.
There is one that I am desperate to hear, a Christmas oratorio by Joseph Rheinberger. I heard it on Sirius XM two Christmases ago, but when I went to look for it on YouTube, alas, it was jot there. I have since lost the paper I’d written the title on…worst luck.
But for historic performances, YouTube has been a real blessing for people who love classical music.
Betsy, here is a link that lists Rheinberger’s work. Maybe it will help you.

How can I thank you, Citizen!!! This is fabulous. I Never expected to see such a list so graciously posted to my off the cuff comment. Bless you, and thank you very much once again😊
Thanks Bet!
Always glad to share with friends.😊
Beautiful. Paints a picture for me of life dancing 🥰
Oh Ieanine, so glad you liked it😊 I think that’s as good a description as I could come up with. Perfect!
JWoo
i would love to meet up and go camping .
so . you got some time to kill . pick up the kiddo at 10.
stay awake.
I’m UP… barely. Dryer died. New dryer. Power surges killing my appliances. Was working intermittently until this evening when it finally died. Now my apartment looks like a big blanket fort. Too bad it was kiddos bed being washed. Lol. She’ll have to rough it. Technician coming Monday. Hope they can get parts. Power surge has killed a coffee pot, my vacuum, and now my dryer. Hoping the washer isn’t next.
Really… camping right now would be the best option!!! Lol
sounds like you just may be camping in your apartment.
good night friend
Dadgum, girl!!!!!!
Part 1 Michele Bachmann MN, strong Christian politician – speaks re giving up USA’s sovereignty to the UN/WHO. Meeting coming up soon – believe May 22nd~23rd. Once passed won’t have to be ratified by anyone – pResident signed bill that’ll immediately make it law.
If you only have time to watch one of these two 20min vids, watch #2. She shares what to do to give best impact if you call ph# to Congress (1ph# to reach both Houses).
Prayers definitely needed. Treaty was expected to pass last year, May 2022 and ONE country prevented that – seems prayers prevailed and God took action. Need now to reach out to Him again!
Freedom of ANYTHING is done if this happens. QR code assignment planned for every person – the unique ID# that we’re all familiar with – no buying, selling, or pretty much anything to do living will be allowed w/o it. Part 2 below…
So that finally delivers the death blow to our Constitution. Turning it into a worthless piece of paper. And totalitarian rule be an unelected cabal of satanists.
DeSantis, by the way, says Florida will not comply.
Until DeSantis doesn’t have a say….
That’s what I was thinking!
He is faithless. No loyalties except to his own ambitions. Anyone with eyes to see knows it.
He’s a game-player. He’ll have NO power to refuse it. It’s a fed/USA issue – not a state one.
They’ll just send their blue helmet UN troops in for enforcement – that’s not to say pResident won’t sic the military on states that try not to comply.
Fed gov is not going to say, ‘Oh okay Ron, nevermind.’
This is true. In other words he’s a poseur. I’ve known this was in the works since it was voted down by African countries last year.
I have been watching and reading everything In could find on it since.
Any noise about those s from the other jackboot party, the Reoublicans?
I can tell you no. All is quiet.
I am hoping there will be a repeat no by those countries in Africa who really can see what’s coming.
What doesn’t kill us, morphs and tries again.
Thank you for posting wanthetruth.
I thought this was going to be discussed next year for some reason, so I will listen and get informed.
thanks again!
Listening to this now. Why are we not imposing the 25th amendment… right now? The man is bat$hit crazy! Yes, Kamala may be worse – but Lord Have Mercy – one nut job at a time. Let’s deal with this one!
On the other hand – if they do this, and this is happening right now (end of May 2023), then The Lord is coming soon. This was foretold in the Bible and it’s playing out right before our very eyes.
Come, Lord Jesus, come!

Back to cats once more…
I gave my cat a bath. Once.
I bet your cat gave YOU a bath – mine did today. LOL
Dang, girl! You are brave!!
Timmy and Danny (RIP) are quite the spa kids. I’ll bring out the human clippers… lay them on the floor for all to see… and they’ll come right up, look with resigned disdain, then lay down like the drama kings they are. Then for the front, I’ll hold them between my legs while they let me cut their nails. Harry Houdini… the Maine Coon… will lay quietly in the couch and give me his paws to trim coupled with some little tickles to his toe beans. The back claws, on the other hand, require two of us with baby holds on all of them. They are reluctant participants. But with baths… if they get in the room while either of us are bathing… they practically get in with us! It can get a little annoying. Yeah… they’re definitely spa kitties.
You’re a braver man than I am, Gunga Din.
https://www.counton2.com/news/local-news/berkeley-county-news/several-statues-of-mary-vandalized-at-goose-creek-catholic-church/amp/
The mary statues were desecrated at this church on Mothers day. We pray. Curious if there’s a hate crime investigation or just run of the mill ho-hum police report. I can guess.
Another thing. Words mean things. I’ve only seen and heard reference to this incident as vandalism. Not desecration. There’s a difference and vandalism isn’t the proper word.
One has to believe in Almighty God to call it what it is…desecration. They do not.
Language is a powerful tool, Neighborly, as you know. It has been coopted by the enemies of all that is right and good.
Worse, no one, absolutely no one, corrects them on their dishonest but purposeful twisting of words.
What has happened I look for much more of in the future. It started with historical statues. When that was not stopped as it should have been and it was successful, it was only a short step to (they think) obliterating God.
This in my view is what is happening. It’s appalling.
Ragtime anyone?
monti
i love it
This is interesting…
A player piano! Or should that be a playerless piano😎👍🏻 Very nice!
was always fascinated with them as a kid , my uncle had one. i thought it was magical
You know, I came this close to saying the same…as a child I could have watched them for hours.
Amen
Amen.

Molonlabe.. here is another video .. 2 yrs ago when I was 86🤣.. I’ve been working on restoring this 1950 HD Panhead.. this was me getting it started and testing the clutch pedal (left foot)..my son Bob ( wife’s first marriage).. helping out..🤣👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Oops..
Forgot to hit paste..🤣
🇺🇸💪😀👍
that’s you. oh, my goodness.
you made my night .
i love when your son was chasing you down the street ,
and the music , priceless
thanks Jim
way to go friend

Sounds like a lawn mower. How much FUN is that?? So classic and 😎
🤣🤣👍👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
suicide shift nice!
No actually suicide shift is set up differently.. this foot clutch was from factory.. heel down to disengage.. toe down to engage and go ..
🇺🇸💪😀👍
I didn’t know that Jim. I just thought any Harley with shift lever on the tank was called that. What is the actual difference? My uncle is 92 and restores gas pumps, hit and miss engines and a 1936 Packard among many other things. Old Harleys that are restorable are so hard to find, so many have been tinkered with or modified. Looked nice!
There is a spring on the rocker(where you put heel -toe) also friction plate so it holds in whatever position you put it in without keeping your foot on it.. some took spring off and loosened friction plate so when you took heel off rocker would snap down to full engage.. if you were drag racing this gets you off the mark quicker..😀👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
So then your only clutch would be heel down to disengage and shift? anything else clutch is engaged? If you had to lean left and put your left foot down when stopping when right foot wouldn’t do was there a neutral on the shift? Otherwise its gonna keep going unless right heel down ?
Don’t know how I would fare with that. I had a ton of trouble trying to shift a two stick truck tranny and that was after years of both double clutching and “floating” shift changes. lol.
So yes there is a Neutral position .. sequence .. pull it back 1st gear.. up one position ..neutral.. up again you’re in 2nd..up again you’re in 3rd..up one more you’re in 4th..also there is metal gate with indents ..and the numbers..😀👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Amen and Amen
Amen🙏🏻
Amen.
Amen
Amen…
Amen
Amen 🙏
Audie Murphy was mentioned recently.
Found this account of the action in the Colmar pocket where he earned the Congressional Medal of Honor.
Even though I had read his autobiography, seen his film and read others accounts there is much more information in this version. The engagement lasted much, much longer than envisioned, an eternity in combat and his leg wound had reopened during the engagement. He stopped two companies and six armored units cold single handed with artillery support…..that’s 250 men!
Worth your time.

Monti, this was such an amazing story. What a King David style hero. I will be sharing this with my daughter later.
Glad you liked it JWoo.
Really enjoyed this, Monticello, I did not realize the action took place in snow etc..growing up in 40’s -50’s I was familiar with his movies and his bio ..thanks for posting..😀👍
