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 †

Happy “cartoons and cereal day” everyone.
here’s to thoughts of levi and all other silent blessed tree-branchers who may need thoughts and prayers.
Good morning, Slowcobra💕
Yes, always keeping those silent members of this beloved Treeper family in thoughtful prayer and close to our hearts.
Hi betsy! I saw you gave reference to today’s ‘cartoon cereal day’ in the wee hours today! I was a little late to the party 🙂
Changing topics, did you get acorns yet? I asked a couple days ago then COMPLETELY forgot to check if you ever answered 🙁 I will for sure remember to check back today…sorry for having to ask again!
I checked, yes…and suddenly I’m not seeing as many. Found one baby. Wondering if the squirrels, of which we have many, are eating them already🤔 I hope I’m wrong and just not seeing them, as the branches are high and I’m short and getting shorter and can’t see that far up😂😎
All very curious and confusing.
No worries about re-asking, my friend😁
Afternoon Bet! I vote for the squirrels. While we were traveling and they didn’t get bird seed they stripped my pear tree of all pears. <3
Afternoon, dearest bro💕
Squirrel vengeance. That’ll learn ya! Dang!!!
Found this for you…
Nipper is on the right.
You’re on the left….😎💕👍🏻
No!!!!!! The other way around!!!!! Ah gee, Bet!!!!😂😂😂
…time for another coffee methinks…
Mine go after the strawberries. I’ve managed to rescue only a handful this season.
Some birds will get the strawberries as well.
My Granny used to cut up pantyhose and tack down over the berry patch to keep birds out of it.
That’s sounds like good news, despite the squirrels! At least it sounds like it’s producing. Cuz we were worried it might not be producing.
Yes. That was absolutely the worry.I was thrilled to see clusters of them here and there👍🏻
Your question about acorns to Betsy piqued my curiosity about them in my oak tree. Looks like there are a lot on the branches my old eyeballs could focus on. Our yard last winter was a carpet of acorns making our squirrels extremely happy.
And we had none last year, deb…not a single one on either oak in the back, nor on the Mexican pin oak out front. Most peculiar.
And of course we couldn’t have starving squirrels so we fed them all winter.

Toasty all right😂
Feels like 101114 outside now!

Good morning!
GREAT TUNE, MONTI !!! ❤️
Reminds me of many long trips home

alone – car loaded down like we were
moving back home – lol
Thanks for the memory !!! ❤️
Hope you have a great day Duchess.
Here’s a gem:
Thanks, Monti – So thoughtful of you !!!
HAVE A BERRY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️💙💜

Just because this is my favourite scene from a movie I thought I’d not enjoy, but did immensely.
By one of the all time great actors, Al Pacino .
Enjoy!
Tango Scene from “Scent of a Woman”
Don’t know why
…. 🤧
thanks
I’m so glad I’m not the only one, Miss P. I’ve got nothing either…I’m sure the reason is in there somewhere.
Betsy, you definitely are not the only one!
It’s my favorite scene of the whole movie, too!
That was fun watching it again, thanks!
Funny thing, Donna….
The other day for some reason I reeeeally had a hankering to watch this scene but somehow got distracted and never searched for it.
Last night I was listening to something on my Kindle, and off to the side where other videos are listed was, first up, THIS SCENE!
I had to do a double take.
Out of everything that could come up, millions probably of all sorts of videos, it was this that came up first.
Go figure…
Isn’t that something………
Was talking about that movie last week and
my mind drifted to that scene. Glad you posted it!
Whoa…..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁
He’s Itralian, Precious !!! * Sigh *. ❤️
Oh, Bet !!! You making me miss my dancing partner – * Sigh *
He shall return!! Just like Douglas MacArthur😁
PS, I know what you mean. Seems as if you’re like Patience and me with this one💕🍀
I was doing OK after his post yesterday – and now
Well. – you post this – reminds me of his
Daddy/Daughter Dance at the wedding !!! ❤️
Oh dear….😭😭😭😭😭😭!!!!!
Now look what you’ve done!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😘
Excellent choice of the scene… both dancers well done 👏👏👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Afternoon, dear Jim😘
I’ve always loved that tango anyway. The whole dance was perfection.
Fascinating to me also that he never blinked. Try that sometime. I did. Can’t not.
Afternoon to you Betsy, yes watching people do the Tango was always fascinating to me.. way back in 40’s some of the old movies would have a scene with people dancing…when I learned from my older sister or girl friend it was just a few basic steps then go with the beat fast or slow.. so I never learned an intricate dance …as I got into my teens fast and slow was all that was needed..😂🤣👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Good for you. The trick is to act as if you know what you’re doing…which clearly you did.
Always wanted to dance like Fred Astaire’s partners. Couldn’t. People who can make their feet work like those ladies simply astound me.
Hooooo – aaaaahhh.
I know why we love to watch this scene – we love class. Class acts. Sharply dressed men. And being led by a manly man around a dance floor – making us look goooooooood.
I personally love being the decoration on a fine gentleman’s arm.
“Hold me down, son!” Loooove it. Swoon.
JWOO, you are a trip..😂😂😂👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Howdy, Jim burns – let’s get real… that’s just me tripping across the dance floor… but I’m sure willing to give it the ol’ college try!
😂😂🤣👍.. way to go .. don’t ever give up !!..👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
I bet he smells good too. LOL
Just something about finely appointed gentlemen…. swooooon.
ROFLMAO
I always remember this….
“Chivalry didn’t die.
It just followed ladylike wherever that went.”
Boy…a hard truth there.
And yes. Elegance in dress, appearance, speech, and manners seems to be a thing of the past these days. We are all poorer for it.
(I bet you make a glittering decoration for any gentleman, dear friend💕)
It is a hard truth and one that I’m sure sorry over.
I pray I can add a bit of sophistication for my girl that she is mindful to when she grows older.
(And you are very sweet – maybe a few years ago I glittered – now I just need some polishing and practice! I’m more on the awkward side now. LOL)
Love you, sweet one. Give Chris a hug, too.
Oh bless, girl. It comes to us all, I’m afraid. It’s the inside that counts, and I know you shine like the diamond you are, dear friend. And that makes you beautiful in my book😘
Passing on that hug🤗🌻💕
Hello all,
This is a hard-to-find track. It’s not on any Heart or Ann Wilson album, it’s only available from the soundtrack of the forgotten Eddie Murphy movie “The Golden Child.” Ann is at the top of her game here, and besides that incredible voice, she also plays bass on this track.
Hey, Jeff!! How be you and your kitty cats?💕
Hi, Betsy! I’ve been meaning to post an update, but it looks like I have to go to the whatchamacallit store, and pick up some more of those “round tuits.”
It’s been now officially one year since little Libby joined our family. I still call her little even though she’s bigger than C.J., by quite a bit actually. But size doesn’t matter; C.J. rules this household with iron talon. Even I am not exempt. She is a stern taskmaster, and she brooks no dissent.
I don’t know of any way to confirm it, but I’m thinking Libby is one of those Bombay cats. I’ve been doing some reading around, and she matches all the characteristics described on the professional websites. Round head, huge green eyes, and a heavier muscle and bone structure. She’s heavier than she looks; she’s a dense cat, in the literal sense of the word. Very playful and very affectionate (and a bit of a trickster!).
She loves her lap time, which thrills me because C.J. is not a lap kitty; she’s more of a “don’t touch me” kitty.
But I feel like we’re a family. We may be a little dysfunctional, but everybody knows their place and there’s plenty of love to go around.
Oh this is a brilliant catch up post, my friend😁!!
And oh WOW!!! But she was such a tiny thing once upon a time. How wonderful she is a lap cat, Jeff. We’ve had many in our lives and miss them all. Our first was a little waif which my husband found, covered in diesel oil at the coach yard where he worked in Wales. He was an obvious stray but so affectionate right from the start and rode home with Chris on his shoulder. Our cats which we’ve had here (but no longer) were all ferals, and so it was not in their nature to be lap lovers, alas. I completely get your Holy that Libby is a confirmed Lover of Laps. Splendid.
So a negotiated peace. The best of any world with two cats sharing a space. To each her own ( part of the house😂).
Just got back myself from attending to our needed supply of round tuits. Its so hot outside, and I was okay until on the way out to o load them into Tue car, I suddenly (and thankfully) remembered that It forgotten THE one I necessary thing I’d gone in for.
So back in I went, remembering on the way that there were two other things I’d forgotten. As luck (???) would have it all three were on the same aisle. But the repeat trip in the heat knocked seven bells out of me.
So now it’s coffee time again.
Thanks for the update🤗, especially as this morning I was thinking of you SPECIFICALLY! How amazing is that?
Please give your girls some extra loving from me😊💕 We miss not having a cat in the house…which is why I so love living vicariously through others who do have them.
Just helping out!
LOL!
🙂
That’s funny!
Just superb, Jello!!!😂
In the late 70’s, UK musician Jeff Wayne put together a project; a rock opera based on the original “War of The Worlds.” He assembled an all-star cast of musicians to perform, including Phil Lynott, David Essex, and Justin Hayward. And in what has to be the greatest casting coup of recent memory, Sir Richard Burton was cast as The Journalist, and his narration adds a whole new dimension to the project. Here is Justin Hayward with one of the singles from this opera.
OH, MY, JEFF !!! This hits so close to home !!!
But, thanks for posting !!! ❤️
This came up in my recommended list, and to my astonishment, it seems I like Italian swing. Who knew?
The song is from 1956 and is about an Italian who wants to imitate the American lifestyle: Driving the big car, drinks whiskey and soda, smokes Camels, and talks baseball. But he depends on his mother’s purse to maintain that lifestyle. And the clarinet player is a hoot!
And here they are performing an old Dean-o classic. (that dress!)
LOVE IT, JEFF !!! ❤️
If I may jump in here and add my 👏👏👏 , Jeff… all great music …
🇺🇸💪😀👍
JUMP IN ANYTIME, JIM !!! 💙

I really enjoy that Italian swing, too…. that was excellent!

Doing dishes ain’t the best of a time
-but for the 💦.
Didn’t have a dishwasher in Wales. Came back here, and we still hand wash everything. Our dishwasher has never been used.
Dishwasher is an off the counter drying rack.
The bottom holds lots of pots n pans.
My dish rack is permanently out. Dishes washed, dried, out away in a flash.
Listening to Levin last night, I’m convinced he doesn’t understand it. He seems to think the “DeSantis Hate” he perceives is about Ron DeSantis.
It isn’t. It’s about justice. And retribution.
https://markamerica.com/2023/07/22/levin-laments-desantis-hate-but-misses-the-plot/
Excellent piece, friend. As you pointed out, it’s also about trust.
Amen, and thank you!
For me, Mark lost the plot a long time ago. Yes, he is an excellent one to listen to about the Constitution. But he has a blind spot, as you note. I’m afraid there is no cure for it…alas.
One of my followers on Twitter made an excellent point, and I think it’s pretty spot-on. Levin seems isolated, as if he’s getting information through very narrow, perhaps controlled channels. When he gets himself out and among the people of the country, he seems better to “get it.” When he remains cloistered in his bubble, he misses the plot terribly.
PRECISELY, Mark – AGREE !!!
Used to think he was worth a listen – but now – not so much !!! 🥺
This is true. In a bubble much as the DC crooks are. This I agree with.
I think that was also somewhat true of Dan Bongino for awhile, but over the past year he has come around with fire!
Awesome rant, spot-on accurate in every point you raised. Glad to see someone in addition to Sundance with the cajones to call out the RINO chattering class, or as you so aptly put it – the “conservative intelligentsia”.

Personally I liked it when there was extra warm weather in Germany. The frauleins would break out their sun dresses and never wore skirts under them and there would be others down on the banks of the Isar river sunbathing topless.
But I bet they have their sun dresses back in their closets now.

“Ah, stubborn children,” declares the Lord, “who carry out a plan, but not mine, and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin.” – Isaiah 30:1
How many times have you wondered why someone did not use common sense? It seems to be lacking in a lot of places. But, this is not a new thing. Envision the prophet Isaiah shaking his head in unbelief at the actions of the people of Israel. They had escaped the slavery of Egypt by God’s hand.
Now, threatened by the Assyrians, Israel’s leaders met privately to determine that they should make an alliance with Egypt instead of aligning with the God who had brought them through all their difficulties in the past (Isaiah 29:13-16). Would God not see? Would He not understand?! Their decision made no sense.
Have there been times in your life when things were topsy-turvy? Did you make a decision to move forward instead of waiting? Maybe your desires gained the upper hand instead of your will to obey the direction God gave you. Professor John N. Oswalt wrote that “the whole basis of the life of faith is summed up in Jesus’ words in the garden of Gethsemane, ‘Not what I will, but what you will’” (Mark 14:36).
Believer, be assured that God has only good intentions toward you. Trust that His will is better than yours. It makes good sense to follow the Holy Spirit’s leading in ALL things. Pray for His guidance in your life, as well as in the lives of those who make decisions for this nation.

Substack article by researcher Walter M. Chestnut, titled “Friday Hope: Luteolin: Binding Prevention of the Spike Protein and Blocking Cancer Development”

This author provides links to his source material so people can do their own digging into things.
Strange isn’t it, how so many people are starting to hate Christians. I know some people always have hated Christians for various reasons, such as their being of another religion and perhaps believing their hatred is justified. However I am thinking of people who a few years, decades ago, would not have thought of hating Christians. Even relatives separate themselves from you, relatives who used to exchange Christmas cards, get uncomfortable if faith is even mentioned, and make it clear that they think you are eccentric and maybe even a little mentally unstable for hanging on ‘old fashioned ideas’ or that ‘unscientific nonsense.’ Something weird is going on.

Yes, jb, it is.
Suddenly.
Everywhere.
But it’s almost like prophesy, isn’t it.🙏🏻
in France, this has been going on a long time as their Muslim populations rapidly increase and as the French people (as were) are persecuted for not falling down at the feet of their invaders. One wrong word can send someone to prison. The banlieus are no go areas for the police, and they are spreading, especially around Paris.
Belgium is the first Muslim European country, this courtesy of an article on Gates of Vienna not so long ago. You know what follows.
Mark Steyn, author, observer, analyst, historian, and writer extraordinaire wrote in his first book, America Alone (2006), that Osama bin Laden said once, “The West has all the watches, but we have all the time.”
And Mark made a very astute point. Islamists recognized that their goals could be more easily reached if they dropped their terrorism tactics and simply infiltrated Christian countries…their seats of government, their communities, their schools.
And that’s what bin Laden meant with his remark about time. Patience and stealth.
Many Western countries’ which have always called themselves Christian have, with vigour, invited their invaders in. Look at Sweden for a start…followed by Germany and the UK and others.
Right now the UK allows Sharia Courts. Insult Mohammed? Off to prison you go. Pray silently outside a murderous abortion clinic or read publicly from a Bible? Same. Would that happen to someone reading from the Koran? Absolutely not.
Tremble at that.
Bergoglio himself has offered an extended hand to a “religion” antithetical to Christianity and is actively working with Islamists, Hindus, and other religions in this world to form what is called a “One World Religion”.
In other words, in the machinations to bring such an abomination about, Christ is marginalized into a mere equal” with all the other “gods” of nonbelievers.
Yes, Christians are being persecuted as Christ Himself foretold. Aided and abetted in many ways by “Christians” themselves from many denominations.
Of course, the main driver of this now is the WEF led by satanists. I can call them by no other name. The devil’s acolytes in that monstrous organization have elevated themselves to gods. See Yuval Noah Harari and listen to that abberation say publicly that there is no “god” in the clouds and that they are the “gods” now.
Hear him say it and feel the sickening chill in your soul.
Right now there is an AI project which is “rewriting” the Bible. The obliteration of our Lord and Saviour and all His followers is the point.
But I will say that I do not know why people are shocked at the burning of a Cross. It has been happening for a long time everywhere. And churches. What of the rebuild of Notre Dame Cathedral? Apparently it is to be made into a multi faith entity.
Perhaps these shocked people didn’t think it would happen in their communities. Perhaps they are not paying attention at all. I don’t know.
I apologize for rabbiting on, and here I’ll stop.
All of this was foretold. All of it.
Matthew 10:22 KJV
“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake; but he that endure th to the end shall be saved.”
Armour up! All for the glory of God and His beloved Son who died for us…and life everlasting. Amen🙏🏻
For anyone who may be interested. You will not see this anywhere else.

As unpleasant it is to hear, does any really think that the warnings given through the holy scriptures are merely some history lesson? Do peoples and nations not understand that the rules, advice, commandments and ways of life are just as relevant and in play today as they have ever been. Ezekiel shows us just what the Lord can and will do when His anger is roused – and to His chosen people no less – what possesses us to think we will somehow escape? There is only one solution. Long post but maybe we all need a stern dose of truth BEFORE He issues His decree.
The curse of blood
Falls upon this nation
I wash my hands
And hang my head in shame
I pray for peace
And forge the crooked valley
This dreader fear
Held prisoner inside me
I search the stars, still I find
No rhyme or reason
I can’t see a thing
That’s gonna make it right, oh make it right
You’re still walking at midnight
Alone with voices in your mind
You see the world in black and white
You know until you see the light
There ain’t no end, no end in sight
I can’t justify
The cleansing of society
The human race
It ain’t no race at all
I breach the flood
Of political insanity
Where hope once stood
Is filled with lies and shame
I search the stars, still I find
No rhyme or reason
I can’t see a thing
That’s gonna make it right, oh make it right
You’re still walking at midnight
Alone with voices in your mind
You see the world in black and white
You know until you see the light
There ain’t no end, no end in sight
POWERFUL, OLD !!! THANKS FOR POSTING !!! ❤️
Thank you for this, Oldspeak. The lyrics themselves are…well…potent. And considering when this song was written exceedingly pertinent as we have come to know. Or at least some of us.
The answer to your question I believe is that most view history as yesterday, and that’s it. Before yesterday, and the day before that and so on is of no importance to those who have no faith in anything except themselves, if they even have that. Very poor receptacles for something as precious as true faith should be.
I truly believe we are getting a stern dose of truth right now. And it is horrible to see and wonder how can so many NOT see. So I keep wondering how much more before His anger shows itself once more.
We can’t know and we dare not presume. One final chance to right ourselves with Almighty God before this period of grace is withdrawn? Suddenly and finally?
As more and more is exposed and evil continues unimpeded, it is a matter on which I contemplate daily.
God the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow is not relevant to those who give His Word no thought.
Keeping watch with my lamp filled.
Thy will be done🙏🏻
Well said, Betsy. Yes, it was prophesied. However, I think many of us are aware of the evil all about us, and it international and growing. However, the extent of the evil seen close up ( eg. during the ‘covid’ loss of freedoms ) maybe even in a small community where people often know each other, is disturbing. When the quiet cold hostility from people you never would have thought capable of such thinking, creeps up on you. It’s more personal.
I enjoyed reading your posting, it was excellent, and you are very well informed. I did not know about Yuval Noah Harari I will look into that. Bergolio doesn’t even pretend to be a Christian any more . The False Prophet?.
I had a related thought today, specifically about the people who “lead” Christianity but fear to condemn the things going on around us lest they run afoul of some tax law. Christianity was a lot healthier, and the sermons a lot more impactful, when it wasn’t a profit-making venture, and those delivering them were less concerned with offending ne’er-do-wells in their flocks. IMHO.
All the fashionable ideologies have crept into our churches, Mark. His houses of worship are not places for any of it. And I am appalled by all of it.
Here it comes: https://news.yahoo.com/palm-payment-technology-coming-u-184400009.html
and soon business leaders, perhaps politicians, will tell you how convenient it will be, when you can do even more things by just waving the palm of your hand over some reading device. It will save you so such trouble in the future, when by having just having a chip implanted in your hand or your forehead, with your social credit score and complete I.D. you can buy and sell anything, travel the world etc (with certain necessary restrictions of course which they will decide.)
It will be sold as the new, shiny, technologically up to date thing. Wait for the propaganda and the sell.
Those who celebrate this do not know their Bible.
Pretty.damn.scary
Shocked faces all around
Oh lawd! That is such a good one!
Good day Betsy!
Howdy, monti🤗 Hope your Saturday has been full of good things…and maybe even one for the memory books😉

Question The Moody Blues Live At Red Rocks
QuestionThe Moody Blues
Why do we never get an answer when we’re knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?
‘Cause when we stop and look around us, there is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed
Why do we never get an answer when we’re knocking at the door?
Because the truth, it’s hard to swallow, that’s what the war of love is for
It’s not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It’s more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be
And when you stop and think about it
You won’t believe it’s true
That all the love you’ve been giving
Has all been meant for you
I’m looking for someone to change my life
I’m looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it’s done to me
To lose the the love I knew could safely lead me through
Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And she’s waiting there for me
But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose
I’m looking for someone to change my life
I’m looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it’s done to me
To lose the love I knew could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew
To learn as we grow old the secrets of our souls
It’s not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It’s more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be
Why do we never get an answer when we’re knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?
‘Cause when we stop and look around us, there is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed
Why do we never get an answer when we’re knocking at the door?

Blake Shelton Cancels $30 Million Project With CMT: “Jason Is My Friend”
Excerpt:
Country Music Television (CMT) is still paying the price for canceling Jason Aldean’s video “Try That In a Small Town.” In what may be the most crushing blow yet, country megastar Blake Shelton has announced that he’s backing out of a $30 million project with the network.
“Jason is my friend,” said Shelton, “He deserves better than the disrespect shown to him by CMT.”
