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 †

In hopes the “tourists” in that sketchy pseudo-sub can still be rescued.
1 Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm does bind the restless wave,
Who bids the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
2 O Savior, whose almighty word
The winds and waves submissive heard,
Who walked upon the foaming deep,
And calm amid the rage did sleep;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
3 O Holy Spirit, who did brood
Upon the waters dark and rude,
And bid their angry tumult cease,
And give for wild confusion peace;
O hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.
4 O Trinity of love and pow’r,
Your children shield in danger’s hour;
From rock and tempest, fire, and foe,
Protect them where-so-e’er they go;
Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
One of cutest yet Nim 😂👍

Thx, really liked the Mr Blue Sky
There’s a great ELO live version of it on a 2-hr ELO concert film, it was on one of the cable channels a year or so ago, HBO or Cinemax
Allison is a real treat. We’ll hear a lot more for her bye-and-bye . . . Be well, friend. 🙂
Good morning, Garrison. What a pleasing voice she has. The old ones are the best, and she really does bring them alive once more.
Mornin’ Bet. 🙂 There’s a “naturalness” in her singing voice that tells me she’s been singing for most of her life. I’m hoping her partnership with Josh Turner works out. They have similar talents, I think . . .
I’d agree with that. A musical marriage made in heaven. Perfect and very enjoyable👍🏻
Good morning Garrison
Nice tunes
Thanks

Hi Patience! ❤️
Hi there, Pa❣️❣️❣️
Hope your kicking
-you know what🤭
n takin numbers!
💖
I’m trying, Patience. 😆 Last Friday morning before I cooked breakfast for the 3 youngest grands, an 11 and two 8 year olds, I was having my herbal tea in the wrong cup, I had grabbed the cup that says “Take that mask and shove it up your a..” inadverently. So, of course, I got the questions Grandpa, why does your cup has that word that we are not allowed to say? Explained to them that it also means donkey and it’s even in the Bible in the KJV. Like, Balaam and his ass. 😅
Sort of like calling a female dog what she is…in polite company, who then think you’re a foul mouthed, uncouth creature.
I did that one time…
…but no children were present.
Well handled, G. I applaud you👍🏻😉😁
And PHEW!!!!😂
There you are, Missy!! Been missing you and Ma 💕🌿💕
Howdy Garrison!
Afternoon, Gramps 🙂 Was out running errands and just now checked back in.
Careful – it’s a little sparky out there …
Abou Ben Adhem
BY LEIGH HUNT
Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold:—
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
“What writest thou?”—The vision raised its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord,
Answered, “The names of those who love the Lord.”
“And is mine one?” said Abou. “Nay, not so,”
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerly still; and said, “I pray thee, then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow men.”
The angel wrote, and vanished. The next night
It came again with a great wakening light,
And showed the names whom love of God had blest,
And lo! Ben Adhem’s name led all the rest.
And another because it is Cursday:
The truth I do not stretch or shove
When I state that the dog is full of love.
I’ve also found, by actual test,
A wet dog is the lovingest.
Ogden Nash
Purrrfect err . . . Woof!!! Bet’ 🙂
Hahaha!!!😂
Good almost afternoon dear Bet! After spending the day in San Antonio yesterday, I am trying for a lazy day. The clean up after have in 45 mph wind gusts last night can wait for another day. A friend from church said that’s the wind recorded on the weather stations around. Methinks that here at home it looked more like 60 mph. At least we got 0.7 inches of rain to go with the wind but didn’t collect a lot because it was blowing sideways. and lots and lots of lightening. ❤️ 😍
Afternoon, dear bro😘 I figured yesterday when I didn’t see you San Antonio would be somewhere on your schedule. So you got much prayed for with a side order of wind. I’m so glad you all are ok and your house is still standing. Yikes!! I don’t mind lightning and thunder, but with strong winds?
Our slate roofed Welsh house was in a valley, so when winds at the speed which hit your area happened, they went straight down the corridor that we were in. And we always prayed after we’d not find slates torn off. In the main they held, only one time did we find one slate.
And here’s the thing…we eventually replaced the roof on our built in 1869 house. The slates and nails were original. That’s how well houses were built back in the day. Thinking about the ferocious winds which came down that valley over the decades. And that house and roof were solid.
So far here…2 new roofs in 16 years.
Looking at 111 degrees by next Wednesday. Hope your temps won’t he that bad….
Oh and this!! Any news on your generator? I was musing about this yesterday…
At least it was a straight wind. It hit 110 here on my truck thermometer a couple of times. Of course, that was on the road, not in the shade. The generator is supposed to be on the road from Generac to the company we bought it from. Talked to the lady ther e a couple of days ago. She said she hadn’t worked on the July schedule, yet. She’ll call when she has the schedule done. So it will be in July, hopefully. We’ll be calling again the end of nest week.
Thank you for the prayers, dear sis. Can always use them. 😘
My prayers for you and all your beloved family are continuous, dearest friend💕 Never doubt it….
So the installers are going to be putting it in in the middle of July earliest, possibly later as the summer gets hotter and hotter. Bless them. Hope at least they are Texas boys and used to it. You’ll be all set for winter when yet again we will undergo electricity failures because of supreme incompetence. Hope not, but past is prologue, and as we never had to have that issue top of our lists of things to be worried about, suddenly there it sits. In the Numero Uno position.
Never thought I’d see the day when the state I was born in, grew up in, and returned to would have such incompetent ideologues in power.
😽
😘 back atcha!!
Good morning, Dave. I had long forgotten this poem. I thank you most sincerely for reminding me of it.
YW, Aunt B, and good morrow to all. And to reward your kind words, a slice of Milton!
Till the dappled dawn doth rise;
Then to come, in spite of sorrow,
And at my window bid good-morrow,
But from here on out I’ll be wishing “good marrow.”
Oh Dave, I shall like that.💕 Loved the Milton. When language was beautifully used and spoke to the inner most depths of the soul.
I have been thinking about Abou Ben Adhem all morning. No words to describe how much that affected me, my friend. None.
As for Mr Nash? I’ve always considered him a favourite. Clever poet. 😊

1 Corinthians 6:9-15 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.”
In the context of all that Paul was writing about; first, he was shaming them for that there wasn’t anyone among them who would judge the evil; citing the fact that the saints shall judge angels, and the world; that we are commanded to judge one another and keep the house of God holy. For so does he continue, that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God; giving a brief list of sins common in our society; and concluding with, But you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are made righteous, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. So, the slovenly remark, that Christians can do whatever they want, is a foolish and hurtful misuse of the text. The statement itself was only with regard to foods; and nothing connected to self will or immorality.
My impression of the wording used, in fact teaches just the opposite of the way the text was used in the above message. The accurate context of the word, “All things are lawful for me, (etc.)” only has to do with whether eating meat and drinking wine makes me better or worse a Christian… NO! “The kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.” The aspect of self will and immorality is fully covered in all the surrounding sentences. As Christians we are supposed to establish the law, not abolish it! Keeping the commandments in sincerity and truth, love out of a pure heart and a good conscience, and faith without stage-playing; this is the evidence of the true grace of God wrought in the life of the Believer.
Good post Michael. Big agreement all round. You will agree then that taking random verses and reassembling then to fit a particular narrative can be problematic. Context is always a guide to the true intention, and of course the ability to “see” between the lines as it were. This “ability” is almost always of the (holy)spirit – of which I believe you are well aware. However even here one must guard against the same phenomena that plague the sciences – confirmation bias.
Hello Oldspeak; Nice hearing from you. 🙂
Thank you for your reply. Yes, that is something that strongly stands out today with many well meaning Christians; and it is their leadership who is to blame; that single “favorite” verses are taken for “stand alone” messages, but are oftentimes either taken out of context, or obfuscating the whole message that the Text intended. Many places in the Bible, as you know well, the stories are stretched out over several chapters; or at least, long paragraphs; and in order to know the context, we have to know why it was said! Simple enough, right? Derek Prince used to say, “Whenever you see a ‘therefore’ in the Bible, you have to find out what its there for.”
“The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: The LORD lift up His countenance upon, and give you peace.”

Hey Patty, I sure do appreciate watching the videos you post; thank you. It is heart-breaking and infuriating to see animals abused. But then when they are cared for and loved and recover; its just really wonderful!
Yeah, the horses getting a second chance for a great life is heartwarming. And they are so very beautiful.
awww – happy ending for bullied horsie
Really amazing how he trusted the girl so fast. Horses are herd animals and being lonely must have been too much for him.
Good morning, patty. I was thinking of you the other day when I ran across these two links of the mechanical War Horse Joey. One on the late Queen Elizabeth’s Jubilee on the Thames and the other meeting Providence Command Horses. Hope you like🤗
Thank you Betsy!!! The mechanical horse is remarkable. At first I didn’t see the two people under the horse moving its legs. Incredible how lifelike the movements are, even fooled the two ‘real’ horses.
Exactly what I saw…and didn’t see… When I first laid eyes on this amazing creation.
I remember watching the Queen’s Thames’ journey. The camera was there to get an up close shot of Joey bowing to her as she sailed by. It was really quite impressive. And very moving. So glad you enjoyed those two small clips.😘
6/21/2023 – Jesus knowing because His hour has come
John 13:1 “Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing because His hour has come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having loved His own which [were] in the world, He loved them to the end.”
Revelation 1:1-3 “Revelation (manifestation) of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him, to show to His bondmen what things must take place shortly, and He made plain by words having sent by His angel to His bondman John, who testified the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, and whatsoever things he saw. Blessed [is] he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things in it written; for the time [is] near.”
Before the Lord began His discourse at the last supper, He demonstrated in the simplest way that His disciples could understand, what was the Spirit which they were of; by stripping down to only a loin cloth, and taking a basin of water, and sitting down to wash their feet. This was not for ordaining a religious ritual; but for a simple illustration of practical love for one another; by caring for each other’s necessary comforts. From out of this love must spring all the grace to produce the fruit of the Spirit. And it is out of this Christ-like humility and love, that the work of the Spirit can only work to convict and draw men to Jesus to be saved. This was why the Son of God came into the world; and it is the reason why we are left in the world after we are saved and given His Spirit.
As the Lord began washing the disciples’ feet, He came to Peter, and Peter said, Lord, You wash my feet? What I do you know not now, but hereafter you will know. Lord, you shall never wash my feet! If I wash you not, you have no part in Me. Oh then, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head! He that is washed is clean every whit, and needs not except to wash his feet. And you are all clean through the word which I have spoken to you; but not all; (for Judas was not clean). Afterwards when the Lord had taken His garments again and sat down, He said to them, Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Master and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master have washed your feet; you ought also to wash one another’s feet; for I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.
So there is a connection between washing one another’s feet, and unity in Christ. We have to be washed entirely when we are saved; and we have to have our feet washed by one another regularly: and all goes together that we have part in Christ. And this role of washing the feet; while it appears to be that of a household servant; is at the same time by divine appointment for the good of the one getting the feet washed; even as it is under the authority of Christ to minister the foot washing. Both are under obedience, and indispensable to fellowship and partaking of Christ. The one needing the feet washed, is having part in Christ in the washing: and the one washing is under authority of Christ, washing, as it were, in Christ’s stead. And all this being done ahead of the things Jesus was about to say to them; indicates, that this is the beginning, and the fundamental principle and spirit upon which everything else must be done.
On the same line; after the cross, and the resurrection, and ascension and glory; the Lord comes again, as it were, one last time, in glory and in the Spirit, to prepare all of us for the last days now commencing. The first having been done, and the true foundation laid, upon which we are henceforth to build; now looking through the things that must come to pass, to the complete end, the things aimed at, of the everlasting kingdom of God; Jesus appears in glory to instruct us unto sanctification, and to show us from God’s view, and from God’s determined bringing to pass, what these things will be, that we are to pass through. The messages to the seven churches are to prepare us for what me must go through, so we do not fail.
The subject of the Prophecy is, “Behold, He comes with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they which pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth shall wail on account of Him.” (Revelation 1:7) How all this shall come to pass, and how, on account of His holy ones witnessing for Him in the world even up to the end; in other words, the directly correlating tribulation and punishments upon the world of the ungodly, for their violence against the saints and witnesses of Jesus; The Lord first comes to make sure His friends, His people, are fully sanctified and ready for this time, that they may fulfill their ministry.
Each seal opened brought the next seal under it. First the Antichrist, then war, then the whole world in lockdown, and then death and hell. Under the seals of the four horsemen was the seal of the martyrs of Jesus, as that which is at the bottom of the the Antichrist’s campaign, and the tribulation of the times. Under the fifth seal is the day of the LORD. Under the seventh seal is silence in heaven for the space of half an hour; indicating the things hidden which belong to God, and are not yet given us to hear. The seven seals is the summary of the Prophecy, as a Title page and foreword. The seven trumpets are for the calling of assembly, and alarm of war. The seven vials of wrath are the beginning of the destruction of the wicked; especially breaking out upon them according to their wickedness; which ends in the coming of Christ, and all the holy angels with Him; who will gather the bad into bundles to burn them; and the good to the first resurrection, to live and reign with Christ a thousand years. These are the things we purify our hearts for, and walk in the Spirit; that that day should not overtake us unawares; and that we know where we are going, when the whole world is plunged into blackest darkness.
Before Jesus went to the cross, He spoke in private with His friends about what would be their lives and work for God, as a result of His departing. He deliberated in close counsel with those who had a need to know all the mind of God, of whom they were His chosen ambassadors to the world. As it must go with Him, so it must go with us likewise in the world, because we are His friends, and His little flock. As He is, so are we also in this world. The Son of man is delivered into the hands of sinful men; so are we also sent forth as lambs in the midst of wolves. As the serpent and his seed are given by God to bruise the Anointed, for the purpose of breaking the serpents head; so are we, the body of Christ, appointed to go with our head through the same sufferings, for the purpose of God using it to judge the world, and take away the wicked for ever.
Jesus takes counsel with us concerning the things necessary, according to the Scriptures, for bringing about the completion of the age, and the establishment of the everlasting kingdom of God. Beginning with His holy charge for us to repent and sanctify ourselves against this time; the messages to the seven churches are for fully warning and reproving and correcting and instructing us in love; to prepare us for the tribulation and trial that shall devour the whole earth. These things are needful for us, both so that we do not fall when the winds and the floods rise and beat against us; and for us to have the assurance of overcoming and obtaining the kingdom, when we have endured.

Democrat Donor Arrested for Starting Massive Fire Democrats Blamed on Climate Change
It’s the alarmists that are killing their support which now lies primarily with youth with heads full of mush.
It was not skeptics that that declared one “tipping point” after another. It was the alarmists in the UN and Academia.
And the fact that the mitigation efforts and all the conferences and the Paris Accord have not worked to stop the rise of co2 is not the fault of the skeptics either.
Nor have skeptics been the ones to predict one climate disaster after another, none of which have occurred or appear about to occur. It was not sceptics that declared “we’re toast” or “the arctic is screaming” or “that the arctic will be ice free by 2008” or that anyone that is going to survive needs to move to Antarctica, or any number of other hyperbolic declarations by “climate scientists” and then as the world watched nothing happened.
It was not skeptics that have held one climate conference after another with absolutely no results evident in slowing the rise of atmospheric co2!
They have been digging a hole in the sand and lately have accelerated the digging. It will not be sceptics fault when that hole collapses and buries them.

Good morning Magic
☘️🍀☘️
Good morning…. today…. LOL.
I’d have paid more attention to ABBA back in the day if I’d known the girls wore their mini-skirts this short … just sayin’ …
Since the women are wearing cat shirts, does that mean that the men are the cursday contribution?
nah – I just like short skirts
I kinda missed the whole Cursday connection today
Good morning all.
Raining and watching old flicks.
Remember this scene?
New Christy Minstrels Saturday Night
Great scene indeed.
Shane had an actor I actually admired. He was a real cowboy and a rodeo star. You can spot the difference when you see him on a horse in the films he did.
Ben Johnson
One of the best from his best…a mantra for us all.
Good morning, monti.
Good morning Betsy!
Wish I could send a bit of this cool and rainy weather your way. We can certainly spare a bit.
Here’s one of my favorite quotes said to be by John Wayne
When the road looks rough ahead, remember the ‘Man upstairs’
and the word HOPE.
Hang onto both and ‘tough it out’.
John Wayne
Wise words indeed. Said just the way one would expect this great American to say them. Patience seems to be the watchword in many posts today. A virtue I never had I must admit…but one which has taken root and is growing.
And I thank you for your generous thoughts on sending rain our way. It always comes eventually I have to remember….patience, Bet!!!😎💕
Well, well!! Your wish just came true! A passing shower! Next week triple digits…111 degrees on Wednesday.
it’s a start right?
60 here and still raining 4.2″ now.
My geese love it. My chickens look like bedraggled little wet vagabonds! lol
Hahaha…poor little feathered creatures. The chickens I mean😉.
Just enough rain so I don’t have to water today thankfully. Saves on the bills. We’ll take what the good Lord brings and be grateful. 😊
Morning Betsy…when I heard him in that film… I thought it works for me…😂😂👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Good morning, dear Jim. Yep…as we always said in Wales “you teach people how to treat you”. A lesson we’ve taught our children and grands. The corollary to that is ” what you tolerate you get more of”.
Right??
Hope you tried the home remedy I suggested yesterday (1/4 tsp baking soda dissolved in warm water and sip!!) and I hope your stomach virus is going way.🙏🏻💕
Yes .. i agree..in all his Westerns he always stood out..back in the day they used a lot of actual cowboys which lent an authenticity to the action…😀👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
LOL. What a change up from your original post.
Sorry, the Shane clip didn’t appear to show up …… so I had to change it..
Ben Johnson was one of the greatest real cowboys and actors.
Here is a clip when he and Harry Carey are riding Roman Style……
That was certainly something! Not enough to ride two horses standing up had to jump them also

Verse of the Day for Thursday, June 22, 2023
✟
“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:”
Psalms 139:23 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
Good morning, duchess!🌻💕
Amen, Amen!!🙏🏻
Afternoon, Bet !!! Sorry I am late getting back to you !!!
Busy morning here – Getting over a hurt of the heart !!!
Have a Blessed Rest of the Day !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Ohhhhhhhh….I am so sorry, so sorry. No worries about getting back to answer ever. I pray the peace that only our Lord can give will be with you and with anyone else who may also be suffering that hurt.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😘💕
Thanks, Bet !!! God knows the heart – and will do the repairs in due time !!!
Some hurts take longer to heal !!! HUGS !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Duchess
I wish I could help with your hurt heart
Sorry to hear
The details we don’t know
You haven’t told us
If there was something
I could do
I would
☘️
How sweet of you to offer your ‘heartfelt’ help !!!
Sometimes, when this ‘hurt’ rears its ugly head
(and that is yearly around this time)
the only thing I can do is go into my prayer closet
and pray – cause prayer heals !!!
Many times, prayer leads to writing poems
I have written two in the past two days !!!
There are public poems and private poems
These two are private because they
are about personal loss and dealing with that loss
Am sure you understand that just as many
here do – so you know some things are
between you and God !!!
I have FAITH like Monica did when she
spent her life praying for her son so
I am confident God will have the last word !!!
Thanks for your love and concern –
it both blesses and comforts me !!!
💚 🧚🏻♀️ 💚 🧚🏻♀️ 💚
Oh my dear friend
I just knew something was off for the last few days
I could feel it friend
We are here for a reason
God brought us together
Somehow it was meant to be .
I don’t know what to say
But I need to go in the shower now
Love you always my dear sweet friend
Always
☘️❤️☘️
Good night duchess
Love you
☘️
Night, MO – Peaceful sleep I pray for you –
In the Precious and Holy name of Jesus !!!
Amen.. 💙
I could use some ‘Cyber’ Hugs if you can spare them – Please !!!
You are making me cry again – 🥲
Don’t forget to pray In the shower – Mkay ???
Huggles and Smooches for you !!! ❤️
He will certainly do that, dear lady and friends d of my heart. I agree. There’s no set schedule for healing. 😘💓
I thank God for your caring heart and concern –
True – no set schedule for healing
All in God’s timing !!!
Just as Paul retained his ailment
This is the cross I must bear
A healing of the heart takes forever
And sometimes of the body as well
We all carry our crosses to the best
of our ability – and sometimes
it is heavier than other times
I know you understand as only
a mother can for her children
God understands and comforts
His children as only He can
You have both blessed and comforted
me just as MO has – and for that
I am most grateful !!!
❤️ 🧚🏻♀️ ❤️ 🧚🏻♀️ ❤️
If I say bless your heart, dearest friend, I mean it in the most loving way. I think I understand. And I understand that ache on a different level. You are easy to love, duchess. And I do love you, your spirit, your resilience, and your ability to act as our daily conduit with the Words of Almighty God…Who is with you even now as you know only too well. Crosses…we all have them, t’is true. So we understand Christ’s suffering more deeply. It’s not easy, is it? You’ve got friends here to share with as you have done. I do hope tomorrow will be brighter knowing it. 😘🌿🙏🏻 I’m so glad you are here…
Thanks, Bet !!! I am humbled and teary-eyed here –
Have not managed the tears yet – working on it !!!

Thanks, Bet !!! I will and I am !!! 🥲

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.
BE MY VOICE
I have no idea who this man is, or his company…but God bless him!!!🙏🏻💕
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!! ❤️❤️❤️
A mighty AMEN!!!!!🙏🏻

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
THE UNDEVIATING TEST
“For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” Matthew vii. 2
This statement is not a haphazard guess, it is an eternal law of God. Whatever judgment you give, it is measured to you again. There is a difference between retaliation and retribution. Jesus says that the basis of life is retribution – “with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.” If you have been shrewd in finding out the defects in others, remember that will be exactly the measure given to you. Life serves back in the coin you pay. This law works from God’s throne downwards (cf. Psalm xviii. 25-26).
Romans ii. applies it in a still more definite way, and say that the one who criticizes another is guilty of the very same thing. God looks not only at the act, He looks at the possibility. We do not believe the statements of the Bible to begin with. For instance, do we believe this statement, that the things we criticize in others we are guilty of ourselves? The reason we see hypocrisy and fraud and unreality in others is because they are all in our own hearts. The great characteristic of a saint is humility – Yes, all those things and other evils would have been manifested in me but for the grace of God, therefore I have no right to judge.
Jesus says – “Judge not, that ye be not judged”; if you do judge, it will be measured to you exactly as you have judged. Who of us would dare top stand before God and say – “My God, judge me as I have judged my fellow men?” We have judged our fellow men as sinners; if God would judge us like that we would be in hell. God judges us through the marvelous Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Good morning all.
Nasty storm hit north side of Houston last night with a 97 mph gust recorded at the airport. As of 8 hours ago about 1.5 million without power. People are going to suffer today in the heat.
NHC showing 70 mph sustained winds for Bret. Still has a shot of becoming a CAT 1 before it reaches the Windwards. Track shift slightly north of what it was before. Will skim by Barbados to the north and Martinique and St. Lucia look to be in the cross hairs.
Despite the early activity in the Atlantic the global ACE is below normal because at this time there are absolutely no tropical storms of cyclones in any other basin.
2nd disturbance now a tropical depression. Odds are this is going to become a hurricane and track further north than Bret. MJO is forecast to move in to 2 which is conducive for formation. Once again Sheer is liable to be a factor and could prevent this storm from reaching it’s full potential until it gets further north.
Good morning Rob
Lot of storms lately
Thanks for keeping track

Don’t list them all. Four died in N. Texas from tornadoes last night.
Learning.
Sherry and I paid off the house. Yesterday I went to the bank to start the process of getting a $10,000 home equity line of credit (the minimum they offer). It will have a zero balance and so there will be no interest since I won’t use it.
Why?
Well for two reasons:
Because having one will cause the bank to automatically alert me if there is any activity concerning our house. IOW I get informed if someone is trying to defraud us out of our home.
And because by having that we will continue to get the Homestead tax credit there by keeping our property taxes at the same percentage based on the county assessment.
Speaking of assessment. The County assess my home value to be $138,000. The on-line real estate listings value it at around $175,000.
Made an appointment with the lawyer for Sherry and I to start setting up our estate will, etc.
If anyone needs convincing, this says it all about Christie:
Every Major GOP Candidate Would Fire FBI Director Christopher Wray — Except One (msn.com)
I think it is funny that the Daily Caller calls that pig a “major candidate”.
……major candi-dud.
For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. – Hebrews 7:12
Some people thrive on change, others abhor it. Whatever is involved, change means things will be different.
Most Jews at the time of Jesus rejected the change that the disciples told them had to come. For generations, Israel had maintained the covenant with God that He gave Moses at Mt. Sinai… a system of sacrifice and worship. The Levites, as their priests, administered the law’s commands, but could not forgive or cleanse the one bringing the offering. The sacrifices were a reminder to them of their sin.
Then Jesus came, from the tribe of Judah, as God’s sacrificial Lamb to suffer and die for the sins of the world. He rose from the dead as proof that He was the anointed High Priest of God who lives forever. He is the fulfillment of the law (Matthew 5:17). The prophet Jeremiah spoke of a new covenant in which the Lord declared, “I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people… for they shall all know me” (Jeremiah 31:33-34).
Those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior will know the Lord as a child knows a loving Father. The transformed lives of the disciples were a witness to the new relationship between God and His children.
The grace of God through Christ now makes the first covenant of works obsolete (Hebrews 8:13). Jesus has pre-eminence. It is a wonderful change, a “better hope… through which we draw near to God” (Hebrews 7:19). Pray now for the people of this nation, and those who govern them, who have not yet accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. Ask the Lord to draw their hearts to Him so this change revolutionizes the world.

Having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. John 13:1
We love him, because he first loved us. I John 4:19
The love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. II Cor. 5:14, 15
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. John 15:10

And that was written 3 years ago. The Archbishop is consistent and always dead center on the truth.

Matthew 6:7-15

Jesus said to his disciples: “In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
“This is how you are to pray:
“If you forgive men their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.”

I nearly posted yesterday on Danny’s Warrior art “Stevie will LOVE these!!”
I feared you wouldn’t see them. So glad you did, sis💕
Oh I saw them and drooled…hahaha! 😉
Awesome! 👍🏻😊🤗
I guess it’s my heritage from my mom’s side…hi MO, I always loved the water, sailing, diving etc..some trips in Navy, were rough going across the pond but I loved it ..😂🤣👍
Have a good day … wet again here ..

☘️ Good morning Jim
I’m rather fond of the sea myself
And my father was a Navy man and proud of it.
Thought you might like this,
I painted it many many many moons ago.
I told Bett I would post some of my paintings but never did .
Thought nows a good time.
My painting style has changed drastically since then as my fingers don’t work like they used to , but I still got it , it just ain’t the same .
☘️
Oh Mo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there no end to your talents??? I’m stunned! I shouldn’t be…but I am.
Never hide your light under a bushel, my friend. Never…says the mother of a Navy son. Magnificent!🍀😍
Chris would like to know…oil or acrylic?
Good afternoon Bett
It was all oils for me
Way back when.
Loved using oil paints.
I never did watercolors, just something I never picked up on .
I did however love using pastel chalks ,
It was easy for me to transfer from using crayons right into pastels 😋
I loved using oil paints ,
You could actually see the oil in em , had to constantly
be mixing and mixing .
I also liked the smell of them , don’t know why but I did
I’m workin on one right now for the tree
It’s kind of sloppy but I do sloppy best these days
I’m thinkin maybe it’s done
Nice!! Our 15 year old granddaughter who was blessedly given the gift of artistic talent is working now with oils through her art classes. Heretofore she has used pencils with astounding maturity. Wish I could show you her work from 10 years old on. Her eye for detail, light and shade and perspective is remarkable. I shall show her your painting…
I’ve watched how she has grown and evolved in her style, so I get what you mean about changing yours. I truly can’t wait to see your newest. You’ll know when enough is enough. Don’t overegg the pudding 😉. Julia would understand that phrase Ima thinkin’😁

3 Doors Down – Inside Of Me (Official Audio)
Wonderful, duchess!!
Isn’t it odd – never heard of this group – but was prompted (my Guardian Angel is a pest) to search
for the words ‘INSIDE OF ME’ from where all creative arts originate !!!
So happy you like what I found – Hope MO did, too !!! ❤️
Oh he will have done, no question. You two are on the same page, the same wave length, a soulful connection.
Love Guardian Angels that poke and prod. They are the best!!🤗🙏🏻
Oh, I could tell you stories about mine –
and I know her poking and prodding
are for my own good – BUT
I wish she would stop pushing me
to do things I do not want to do
Know what I mean ???
I am not an entertainer – BUT
she keeps pushing me in the spotlight
as if I am – one time I had a whole
group of professors complaining
they could never do what I asked
them to do – they did not like my
solution to their problem !!!
Front and center is not me
I like to make stars
not be one – LOL. 🙃
LOVE it MO…again way back in 40’s old time sailing ships movies 🤣🤣👍…
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Beautiful, Mo!
This is amazing, molon … God has gifted you, especially with an eye for beauty.
I love this – and always admire the artistic talent of others! To Him be the glory…

Wow! I guess it is not just Biden that is an ignorant idiot, it’s his speech writers too!
Even CNN wouldn’t let this one go by: Fact check: Biden’s claim that ‘you’re not allowed’ to own a flamethrower or machine gun isn’t true in most states | CNN Politics
If you have a clean record and can get through the BATF background check to get a Federal Firearms license and have the money, you too can legally buy and own a fully operational machine gun in most places! Now being able to afford the ammo to shoot it is another matter.
I would bet that if the states that prohibit ownership were challenged and it went to the SCOTUS, their citizens could also own one after multiple suits and cases that would be required to stop the state from making laws highly prohibitive approval and costs of state licenses illegal. It would be a long and expensive process to do that in those state though.

To be fair the people inside the White house aren’t in all cases stupid they are in a lot of cases just plain ignorant.

I miss her as well. She’s my Southern Sister. She is busy on the Prayer Thread interceding with prayers for people who are in desperate need of them. As only she can do… with love and concern for those who are beset with physical and spiritual worries.
Though not daily on this thread, she is where God has placed her in another branch of our Tree praying for others. Which is why we love her so much.
As for the bridges? “Under” is an option I never considered…
Adore the Debussy💕!
Bet and Mo, just had the thought that going under the bridge would make us trolls. 🤣 🤣 🤣

A Midday Prayer to Help You Refocus Your Heart on Jesus

Very nice article Duchess
She mentions praying while in the shower .
I do that often ,
I pray I don’t slip and fall whilst I’m in there 😋
LOL – You. Big Silly !!! 🙃
😂😂😂🤗
molon, I pray in the shower.
I suppose the thought to pray comes while the water runs over me, and am reminded that the Lord needs to wash me with the blood of Jesus, and cleanse me from All unrighteousness??
And I cry in shower, too. A good place to pour out my heart, ya know?
Therapeutic, for sure.
🌷

Comfy cozy and warm
It’s a good place to put your
caps on

Good to see you here my friend
🙏🏻🥲🤔🥰
Took your Silly Pills today – did ya, MO. ???
CAP ON – CAP OFF !!! * Giggling * here 🙃
Do baths count? Because I pray there…and cry, too…
Hey there, Betsy! Oh yes, that’s a perfect place – as long as your tears don’t overflow the tub!!
Gosh, I haven’t taken tub bath in years and should do that! So relaxing…
If only I can get out of it.😂😂
Are y’all doing okay in the hot weather there?! I saw it on weather channel, it sounds miserable…
It’s just crazy here in GA. Have had rain three/four days with cool temps.
Today’s high temp is 72 degrees. Unheard of the end of June.
The garden is standing in water. We’ve already planted the beans twice.
Weather is something we cannot change, only accept, tho. and be thankful.
😘🥰
Same here in Va Miss Della. Unheard of weather for this time of year. Take days for the garden to dry out. Looking like some beans to pick by by Sat or Mon so we’ll take it as you say and be thankful.
Have a blessed evening and glad to hear you are a prayer warrior.
Hello, monti, fellow gardener! So, you know the ups and downs of a farmer, too!
It’s lot of work, but the rewards so worth it — if one can get them to grow…
No beans here – still waiting. We plant Roma 2 and everyone loves them. Especially the little grands.
Hope your garden dries out soon – and may you be blessed all week long!
🌷
Love those Roma II. Hard to start.
As is said…the most perfect prayer no matter what time of day🙏🏻💕
Hello everyone….
Frank Sinatra . 💙 💙 💙
Anytime ~ I’ll Be There
Howdy, DG💕
Hello Betsy,
Glad you like the Sinatra song.
I was quite ill awhile ago, and the only thing that kept me calm was Frank’s music. I took in a kitty that needed a home, and she didn’t leave my side during that difficult time. Their instincts are strong and their loyalty is truly amazing.
Enjoying the posts on music and art, two loves of mine. Nice to hear about the artistic talents of your g/girl and Mo as well. Look forward to see their art.
🌺 💕 😊
Ahhhhhh….so God sent you a companion to be with you while you were ill. Am I surprised? No ma’am🙏🏻💓
As for music, it has medicinal properties all right, I am convinced of it. And there are so many types of medicine available. All we have to do is pick the one that works the best for us and let it do its work. I am so glad you pulled through, DG…see? God wasn’t through with you. He had other plans, including leading you here to your branch. What blessings!!🙏🏻😘
(Oh, and this…Frank became one of my faves very late for me. Just about the time things started going south in this benighted country of ours. Those old songs, remembering the television shows he and like singers were on. Its just so lovely to get lost in times of old sometimes. Keeps me somewhat sane anyway😎)
What a lovely thing to say, Betsy. I appreciate your kind words. 💖 😍
God looked our for me ! 🙏✝

Another of my favorites,MO, of course I read the book later in life but watched the MOBY Dick movie with Gregory Peck many times…when Heart of the Sea came out it explained, in my head, where Melville got the story …I don’t know if my grandfather went whaling but my mom told me about the Nantucket sliegh ride..🤣👍

Moby Dick (1956): Gregory Peck
Lots of action.
I liked Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn, in Roman Holiday. Not so much action.

Praying especially for J6 prisoner on hunger strike. I see no news about him since one article that I can no longer find, and I hope this man is still among the living.
Also praying for J6 Chris Quaglin and his family. I do not know Quaglin personally but read that he has celiac disease and is suffering badly in prison and has also lost dangerous amounts of weight.
This is Gestapo-Dachau like government behavior and a disgrace
Amen and Ame
