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 †

Spectacular colorized film of the beginning of the German occupation of The Netherlands during WW-II
I just watched Ben Stein say that we in the US are living in an occupied country, akin to the Germans occupying Paris during WWII. I have no argument with that.
I agree, Bet (and good afternoon to ‘ya darlin’) 🙂 The hidden leftists who actually run things in the Biden government have plans for a totalitarian society organized along the lines of contemporary China. Biden famously, although increasingly obscurely, has said in public that he intends to “transform” American society. A few months ago he bragged that he planned to institutionalize so many changes that no subsequent government could change things back.
I laughed at his hubris because he drastically underestimated what Trump is planning to do to the Deep State. I’ve read the same books his leftist radicals have read. I truly believe if we don’t have Trump we’re very likely to lose our country to a totalitarian-fascist style state. Once that happens you can forget about freedom and liberty.
Garrison, yesterday I listened to a US functionary, a woman of course, addressing the European Parliament explaining what the WHO is intending to inflict on the whole world when Biden finally signs our sovereignty away via the new amendments to an existing treaty which has already been approved long ago, thus not requiring new Senate authorization.
I tried to find the source of the tweet in which I found her explanation of what is coming but could not.
There are few in this country who are even aware of it. I found it terrifying.
Dictatorial powers which are legally water tight, internationally speaking.
If we are ever to rise up, that may be the moment when it will happen when the next orchestrated “pandemic” as defined by the satanic WHO rears its head.
I’ll keep my eyes open for that video in postable form. In the meantime, we ain’t seen nothing yet.
Hi Betsy, very interesting. This discussion, re. will Biden do it or won’t he?, has been going on for sometime… I rather think he will do it . What has he got to lose, from his perspective. It is indeed terrifying to think of, giving one’s sovereignty away. I assume it is meant to be permanent, but if it is for a period of seven years, it might take on more meaning. In Daniel 9. 24 – 27, There is a reference to a pre-existing Covenant, being renewed ( of course it may not be this one) and there will be many participants, and it will last for 7 ( years?) referring to End Times. This organization reaches its tentacles into many nations, like a horrific One World Government takeover.
https://dailyclout.io/biden-is-handing-us-sovereignty-to-the-w-h-o-and-c-c-p-in-2-weeks/
Oh he’s doing it all right, jb. Or whoever will shove the pen into his hand and documents in front of him. And yes…permanent. And yes, it is the glorious dream finalized. One World Government through the tyrannical WHO which will have the power to shut everything down, require mandatory biopoison vaxxxxines and the rest.
I am not aware of the covenant you mention.
Bergoglio, for his part in this satanic monstrosity, is busy arranging a One World Religion, where Christianity will be made equal to all the other religions. He has started in earnest, relegating our Saviour to one of many, which I can only call blasphemous and damning.
The first time this “treaty” was put forward for approval by 197 countries, it failed because of opposition from African States. I suspect a price was paid to those hold outs to secure their, uh, cooperation with the upcoming vote.
I simply cannot believe this is anything but the final nail in the Constitutional coffin. A Republic no longer. But as we are borderless now, we can’t even call our self over a country anymore.
Thanks, my friend for the link.😊👍🏻

1965 Bluegrass/Mountain Music TV Special. A Beautiful Time In American Music History
Iconic music, sync. Thank you for this.
The accents and culture is so familiar. My great grandmother sang the Child Ballads. The culture survived and even thrived in my little corner of Oklahoma. Evan as a child I understood that going there was like stepping back in time. And so it was.
Memory lanes are never paved over, are they, my friend. Thank goodness😍
wow, I totally get that, Betsy. every time I feel like I’m getting close to the creator (whoever, whatever) it scares the shit out of me and I back off.
You can only in our mortal frame imagine, merry. And yes, to be in His Holy presence with the intensity with of a Light like that? It frightens me as well, and fills me with awe. Put that way, the Biblical phrase “he fell to his knees” takes on a whole new and unimaginably powerful meaning.
it is not only the light but the noise
Merry, my favourite work written by Berlioz is his Requiem.
I feel closer to God hearing it. You speak of sounds.
Near the middle of this majestic, beautiful work trombones are played and their sound is discordant.
The first time I heard it I had to stop what I was doing to draw breath…because to my ear what I was hearing was the return of our Lord and Saviour, so powerful we’re they. Even though they were not trumpets.
I’ll leave a link here for you and anyone else who would like to hear it. Jussa Pekka Saraste, the sublime conductor, delivered perfection. The choirs left me overwhelmed.
As I said it will for me forever remain, no matter how many times I listen to this masterpiece, as spiritual and heavenly as any written.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6cFwAcKxAvQ
PS….the ending of this magnum opus makes me weep simply because it is so reverential and peaceful.
Not even Bach, whose works I adore, has ever made me do that.
Saved to listen to later
It’s so beautiful, Patience, and moves me beyond words. Be sure to watch Maestro Saraste’s face on the last note.
He knows what a sublime performance he, the orchestra, and the perfect voices in the choir delivered.
the requiem is beautiful. however, the sound I hear is more like the DRY cycle when I finish in a car wash. big wind sound. Is that the Holy Ghost sound?
It sounded otherworldly to me, merry.
There is a song asking “in Gods presence will I stand or fall” you will fall. Your being is so unworthy of his glory you will weep and fall as a dead man.
There are so many reasons why we cannot be in his presence but it all comes down to this. We are dirt, unworthy, flawed, full of ignorance and evil. IF you know him, you will fall in recognition of his glory, if you are out of his fold you will know and fall from weight of your evil.
Our bodies will burn away, as all evil cannot be in his presence. The parts of us that repel Jesus are exactly the parts that condemn us to eternal separation, hell. The need for ego. That lie is not able to submit to our lord and is rebuked.
The angels were condemned immediately, we have this life to train our spirit and cleanse it. To live in righteousness.
Also, in this body, in this life, if you do gravitate to our lord you will find it proportional to the degree you are righteous that you will find this world difficult to live in. This is not your home, heaven is, and we will become homesick.
The knowledge that is imparted by Gods presence begins to reveal all and who and what motives and hearts belong to our lord. It will become more difficult to interact with the ego’s and you will seek truth, purity. One reason we are not to marry the pagans, “unequally yoked.”
Palerider, while I agree ego is a huge burden for all of us. ( Maybe that is why we love dogs so much as they have no ego.) I disagree that I am “dirt, unworthy” that parts of me “repel Jesus.” I know Jesus loves all of me and thinks I am a good kid. and I think he is super duper. we get along well but I get scared when I get too close because it’s like falling into the sun.

Really nice Betsy…🇺🇸💪👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
I know you as a Navy man (if I remember correctly?) appreciate it, Jim. My son is also a Navy vet. He was proud to serve and his service completely changed his life for the better. But he and I have had many discussions about where we are now as a country.
He wishes his CoC had been President Trump instead of the traitor O. He is relieved to be out of it now.
I have grandson in Navy.. 😀👍.. hope he can make it next 5 plus years and get out …🙏

I will keep him in my prayers, dear friend 💕
They did the Statue of Liberty in 1918….
Here’s a write up about it.

Oh cheers for this, my friend. Hope you and your birdie are keeping well💕
A very happy Wednesday to you Betsy!
We don’t have a bird, but we do have two inside-only cats: a sixteen y.o. male orange & white tabby (Rufus), and a four y.o. female ‘mackerel’ tabby (Sophie Rose). They are our current house family.
We also had Sophie’s litter sister, a bicolor white and grey named Emmi Lou up until March of this year but she died suddenly in my wife’s arms of a sudden fatal heart attack (according to the vet, posthumously). That was a very tragic experience for my wife since Emmi was seemingly very happy up to that instant.
Emmi had been 95% blind since about 6 mos old. due to a genetic condition. But she was a full part of our house family. We’ve previously lost cats to old age, cancer, feline leukemia, and being hit by cars, but never had one drop dead while being petted like that. It was hard to believe for a while afterwards that she was gone. And the other two cats kept looking for her around the house. Such is life with pets….
GB, as a lover of all cats and dogs my heart is breaking. I know the tears we’ve shed for our now departed furry family members and the feeling in our chests which I can only describe as if an unexpected blow has been physically delivered. The shock for you both, but especially for your wife since she passed away in her arms…well, it doesn’t take anything to understand that shock and grief. And for your other two beloved companions as they searched for her.
The only thing I can say is that had that happened to me and after a period of grieving, I’d have to cling on to the comfort of knowing that she went so suddenly and didn’t endure what so many pets do, which truly breaks my heart, too soft.
It’s why I cannot read about or watch videos of little animals suffering even though there are happy endings. I just can’t do it.
And yes….that is life with pets. We sign on to their care and loving knowing full well it will come sometime. We’ve gone through it so many times, which is one reason we are hesitant to do it again. Having said that our home as was with our animals in it has returned to being a house only. We do miss them dreadfully. I am on the verge of weeping thinking about it.
I am more sorry for your and your wife’s loss than you can imagine, dear friend…🕊
Thanks so much for your kind thoughts and caring, Betsy.
Yes, we were somewhat consoled by the fact tht Emmi died so quickly, right before our eyes, despite my wife’s desperate attempts to revive her by some sort of CPR. She tried pulsing/massaging the cat’s little chest and even once tried to breathe air down Emmi’s little mouth and nose a few times. We had hoped our cat had just passed out or was temporarily unconscious for some reason…but that hope was proven futile as more minutes passed by. All that was left was prayer for Emmi’s soul to go to a good place, and thanking God for gracing us with Emmi’s life however short it was..
I have a pet cemetery in our backyard with 4 markers in the ground over the pets’ashes: 2 dogs and 2 cats over 27 years. We had a pet cemetery at our former house where we raised our children and lived about 18 years- that had maybe 4 or 5 cat remains. Seeing those markers when I go outside reminds me of our many pets and the circle of life..
I wish I’d saved a meme I had… with a cat door in Pearly Gates…one can only hope💔
I’m posting something which I hope will bring a little peace… give me a minute💕
“Since she is mortal, as am I,
My cat too must someday die,
But being flame while I am clod,
It will be she who goes to God..
Go bounding up the golden flight,
Slit-eyes undazzled by the light,
And pause before the golden chair
To lick the stardust from her hair.
Await afraid (yet without fear),
As goddess once, before God appear;
A gentle touch from hand Divine,
She will be God’s cat as she was mine.
~Richard Lockridge~
Written at the time of theme Gettysburg Address
I found so much comfort in this lovely poem, GB, and keep it permanently.
I hope it bring as much peace to you both as it did for me🤗💕🕊
By the way…I meant bride of course…I really mist disable autocorrect!!!
Ahhh. I was wondering why you thought I had a pet bird….. 😆
Yes, I DO have a bride.🥰….. of 51 years next month…by the Grace of our Heavenly Father.
And I couldn’t figure out why you referenced a birdie…until I reread what I wrote to you!😂😂😂😂😂
OMG that’s funny. 🤣
Teehee!!
How devastating…. for your wife.
-So sorry, Bari.
Oh, but how wonderful for Emmi Lou to have been in such loving arms.
Thank you Patience. Yes it was *very* devastating for my wife. That is the most appropriate adjective to use. But it was heartbreaking for me too, – I’ll not soon forget that feeling of helplessness I had, seeing the cat expire in front of us and not be able to do anything to reverse it. But I quickly became more concerned with consoling my wife’s anguish.
It has been a bit over 4 months now, but we both still share iPhone photos of Emmi with each other from time to time…..
Here is Emmi about 1 yer ago:
Oh sweet, sweet girl💕
Oh yes.

Oh MYYYYYYYYY, GB!!

Shortest Summer on Record In The Arctic | Real Climate Science
Looking like it is on track to be the shortest summer on record for the Arctic and Greenland.
After 45 days above freezing, temperatures at the North Pole have dropped back to the freezing mark. This is about two weeks shorter than the 1958-2002 average.
That is really interesting, thanks for posting.
