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 †

Very good video duchess
Everyone should be aware of the satanic cult of freemasonry
Thank you
Hey, Molon . . . I finally checked the Chronicles issue you asked about. It was indeed the April issue. The whole issue is devoted to various articles analyzing Marxism and woke “cultural Marxism aka the Mao cultural Marxist version”. If you call the Chronicles back office I’m sure they’ll sell you a back issue.
Thank you so much my friend
For remembering
I have a hard time remembering some things on a daily basis
You know how one day just seems to roll onto the next
Thanks for doing that
This tree
Has a great
family
Thanks bro

Thank you, duchess!!!!!🙏🏻😘
You do know that G. Washington was a Mason and sworn in as the first President with a Masonic bible? That many founders were Masons, including Benjamin Franklin who had his name on the pews of 8 different churches in Philadelphia because he was a benefactor? That the all seeing eye on your dollar bills is a Masonic symbol.
Not news to me, rah !!! Been a veracious researcher for many years !!!
DC is an evil place – has been since the onset – symbolism evident !!!
This might be of interest.
David Barton researched and wrote a book about this topic.
“The Question of Freemasonry and the Founding Fathers” was published in 2005.
They say that D.C. is laid out in it design with specific Masonic symbolisms.
Do you think that has anything to do with what kind of spirit presides there today?
No, but it does speak to the intent of the founders. My Dad was a Shriner, I am a Mason and so is one brother. The highest ranking Mason in Anderson is one of the largest benefactors to the Church of God, my Church. What Freemasonry is has nothing to do with the creatures which are running this country now.
Autumn, or The Grape Harvest by Francisco Goya
Cyd Charisse – Pas De Deux (Tchaïkovsky)
GOYA is very good at depicting human faces – and
his figures and background are well- balance, too !!!
NICE – Thanks for bringing forward !!! 🥺
Oh, and the dance – Exquisite !!! 💜
Brought me back to my Art Humanities class back in the day at some unnamed Ivy League school.
Goya: look at how he emphasized the eyes!
Really enjoyed that class way more than I care to admit. And many many years later, I still remember seeing paintings of Goya in person at the MET.
Thank you Molonlabe and Dutchess01 for throwing me back into the past. Thank you for reminding me of one of my favorite artists: GOYA.
Portrait of Senora Berm sezne Kepmesa by Francisco Goya
Auntie Mame – The Flaming Mame – Are We All Lit?
Nice Pairing – Auntie Mame is a real fruitcake !!!
Not wild about the painting, tho’ –
Not quite sure if it is the subject or the colors – 🥺
the colors of the dresses
in both the vid and the pic
the attitude of the subjects
thought they were a good match
all in fun
Good Point, MO – I can appreciate that – Thanks !!! ❤️
After all – you are so good at this !!! 💚💚💚
Me – I just write poems – ☺️ – and the words
and inspiration are not mine !!!
Don’t ever use the word just
When describing what you do my friend
☘️☘️☘️
Yes, Sir !!! ☺️
I adored her as Auntie Mame. One of the funniest movies ever.
Who is she, Bet ??? Never saw the movie – just this little snippet !!!
Pardon my ignorance – I am working on improving movie savvy !!! 🥺
Hi Duchesso1…and hi to Betsy and MO… Rosalind Russell actress in this video..asBETSY said very funny movie..😂👍..
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Afternoon, Jim!! So glad you seconded my recommendation, my friend. A real good way to spend a couple of hours. An absolute delight, when movies were worth watching😘 Smiling just thinking about it…
Thanks, Jim !!! Appreciate the info – God Bless !!! ❤️
Hi Jim Burns
☘️☘️☘️
Duchess, do seek it out!! You will love it. A real free spirit.
Here is the trailer!
Sounds like fun, Bet !!! Will check it out !!! Thanks !!! ❤️
I found a review of sorts – where the reviewer played
various parts of the film – gives one an idea of her
character and her life – a bit annoying because the
reviewer talks throughout – However
I got enough of the story and its humorous parts
to see how Miss Russell made her character come
alive – how she looked at life and made it fun !!!
Here is the review – I enjoyed it interruptions and all
First Time Watching *AUNTIE MAME* (1958) | SPC
Movies With Mia
Hope you and others enjoy it just the same – HUGS !!! ❤️
Thank you😁!!
She really was awesome. There are some actors who when they are acting I see them not as the role they are playing but as themselves pretending.
Rosalind Russell was, on the other hand, every bit Auntie Mame. I forgot she was an actress. She just was the woman she portrayed in every way.
Hope the mess above makes some sense😎😉
Most definitely, Bet !!! Like the part was meant for her !!!
I was able to piece the story together from the review –
and I must say she makes the character come alive !!!
Not. everyone can do that kind of part
with a straight face, either !!!
Delightful lady, Bet !!! Really enjoyed what I saw !!!
Thanks so much !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Welcome! 😁
Had one of the best General Contractors in town come out to take measurements and get the info to bid adding a 18′ x 17′ sunroom that will come off our living room at the NE corner of the house and to add a 30′ x 24′ two car attached garage coming off the Dining room coming off the south side of the house.
Today called to get a work order for moving the gas meter from the southside of the house to the front of the house to get it out of the way for the new garage. Garage will have a 10 ft. concrete apron.
Sunroom will be on a slab and have all windows with a short wall except for a 5′ sliding glass facing north. Access to the sunroom from the living room will be via double pocket doors. It will have it’s own separate electric A/C and heating unit.
I had them bid the garage unfinished because I’ll insulate and finish inside myself. Don’t want not drywall. 5/8″ plywood walls is what I have in mind inside. Garage will be heated by it’s own gas fire radiator. Going with two 9′ doors.
I will be upgrading my electrical service from 100 amp to 200 amp service.
I am also on the market for a used gas powered golf cart that I will convert into a utility vehicle for doing yard work and stuff. will put a bed on the back. Use it for picking up sticks, hauling tools for yard work, etc.
Those are the first projects. After that is getting rid of the carpet and putting new hardwood flooring in the living room or possibly a simulated wood vinyl tile flooring.
Then after that is putting a shower in the back bathroom making it a full bath and a total remodel of the main bathroom.
Going to have plenty to keep my busy.
Trust me Rah ..keeping busy is the key to happier retirement..🤣👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Good that you could retire.You have to keep busy. I am in SW Indiana, GM at a small company and 69. Entertains me to still work. I would get bored trying to be retired.
JS
Sunrooms are bits of paradise. Good for you all to make this improvement
Don’t want to sound like a conspiracy nut…
But I think we’re being watched!
LOL
They can watch me anytime as long as they don’t get any ideas about my little dogs!
For Donald Trump:
Sorry about the adds……..
thank you aggiegirl
Thanks, Aggie – our folk group sang this song often !!!
Great memories – ❤️😃
betsy, if you’re out there i need help again!😂
is it my imagination, or do people get awfully hot under the collar awfully fast nowadays?
or are there just so many more hot button topics?
or fanatic ideologues?
or just plain crazy people?🤣
having a DISCUSSION is getting harder and harder.
objective truth, not the current fad of “your truth/my truth”, seems to be grounds for rather unbecoming conduct.
besides becoming a recluse, have you got any advice?
i ask because i’ve never seen you lose your temper,
and i really want to lose mine….🤭

That actress , playing Agnes
Real good
She played many bit parts
In many dif movies and shows
Very funny lady
She was quite good, MO !!!
Good character actress –
if that is what they call her part
‘supporting actress’ ???
Do you know what her stage name is ???
Thanks !!! You guys are great – and
so knowledgeable !!! 😃
Agnes Gooch in both the stage play and also the 1958 movie was played by Peggy Cass. She had a good career in movies and TV herself. Most boomers and many Gen-X folks will remember her face and pleasant personality….

I know how crazy it is out there
That’s why I’m here
☘️☘️☘️

Not your imagination at all, zoom !!!
However – we must keep our peace and
composure for our own health – and
not allow them to destroy our joy !!!
You Can’t Take My Joy
PEACE BE WITH YOU, ZOOM !!! ❤️
nice!!!!!
thank you!😊
I’m here.
And I’m afraid I have to answer that while I see it everywhere, I’m not seeing it here, zoom.
Where I see it most is in comments on various sites.
Here is how I approach my commenting.
The first thing I think is I have no idea what someone who is being particularly stroppy, as I call it, is enduring in (usually) his life. I assume something is going on, and heaven knows these days? It could be anything., it might be big or small or nothing.
But I always assume it’s something which makes them so unpleasant.
And I figure the best way to answer such a person is to meet anger/whatever by being the complete opposite.
Because I have to live with what I say, I always taste my words before I spit them out. And I don’t want anyone to see my name and associate me with anything unkind or short tempered.
I can think of only two times when I came very close to gently saying exactly what I thought to an unpleasant post directed towards me personally. In fact I typed something out but didn’t post, then walked away for a spell, thought about it and what could be gained from it, walked back and scrubbed it.
For me it is that simple, my friend.
The familiar question “How would Christ answer?” is the foundation of anything I post. It has served me well.
Does that help? I pray so🤗💕
actually, yes – a lot!
i usually try to figure out where a person is “coming from”, too.
but my angst level increases when i see self-destructive behavior promoted to others as a worthy course.
you have put me back on an even keel (again), and i thank you!
i copied your reply to re-read as needed, probably a lot.😂
now do you bill, or should i just send a check?😊
You are so welcome, zoom.
Life’s too short and peace too precious. There is no currency in losing it over any issue.
And 😂😂😂….I don’t charge family😉💕
One more thing…it helps if I can find even a tiny point to agree with in a disagreeable post, zoom. If I can’t in all good conscience do it, well, I won’t compromise. Often I find that alone can defuse a lot of unpleasantness. No charge for that either😎
100% 👍🏻.
that is a “rule” i absolutely believe in –
got to establish some common ground if you want to advance the conversation.
and a sincere compliment is always a good way to let someone know you’re not just trying to be hateful,
rather, you’d like to understand more about their perspective.
agree with GB Bari’s comment below.
“Betsy’s Guide to Courteous Commenting”?
it’s got a ring to it!😁
Your a good egg Z
See
You got nothin to worry about
It’s all in
How you
look at things
☘️
❤️. Betsy, your post ought to be added to Sundance’s Rules for posting. I am not patronizing you nor exaggerating. It’s that good.
And…. we know from the New Testament that Jesus did not always speak gently and kindly to those who He knew were evil in their hearts and acting on Satan’s behalf….
Examples from scripture: You hypocrites… Woe to you, you Blind guides…. You fools and blind men, ….You serpents, you brood of vipers…. You are of your father the Devil… A liar like you….
Of course he was 100% correct in every instance; the Son of God did not and could not lie.
But he did not spare the verbal wrath when He knew someone was deliberately behaving badly.
Amen goes right there, GB !!! ❤️

I am still enjoying the warmth and the flowers
blooming all over !!! 🌹🌼🪴
Not looking forward to falling leaves when
everything here is so lush and green !!! 🪴🪴🪴
Bring on October’s Texas cold fronts—AKA “Blue Northers”. Tems can drop tens of degrees in mere minutes. Campfire, good bourbon, good company, good dog at your feet. Reminds me of the Russel painting, “Laughing kills lonesome”. . .

So say I as well, Garrison!!! 👍🏻
Neat Painting, Garrison !!! Good Times !!! ❤️
We have cookouts – and backyard BBQ Pits in the Fall here, too !!!
Temps are cool in the morning – everything is dew-covered
and watered – but only 3 hours of warmth midday – best stay
by the fire in the evening when temps drop 10-15 degrees !!!
I can wait – maybe this year we will have an Indian Summer !!!
Last harvest late September – Mid October – Apples – Corn –
Wheat – and Alfalfa – Hay Bales in the fields are plentiful !!! 😃
Horses are happy in the Fall – no more summer heat !!!
Carriage Drivers hold their annual festival – and October Fest
is in the planning stage !!! 😃
Good Times !!! 💙🧚🏻♀️💙
If we had any of that I would as well. We are baking, the grass is yellowing, the trees in order to protect themselves are dropping their leaves as if they were in autumnal mode. One could make the argument autumn was here except for the debilitating heat.
But I hear ya, sis.
Our Welsh springs and summers were lush and verdant. Lots of rain to keep them so.
I do miss them.
☘️☘️☘️
☘️ In the 70s all day here
Feels good , lush ?
I think it is .
This is what I’m lookin at
I feel for you though B n G
Lived in the sub tropics for twenty years

Juanita is right as rain about that foreign reporter trying to assert outrageous lies about President Trump. I would not have been as polite and magnanimous as the Trump supporter….. which is probably why our Father did not put me in that location at that time…… 😁

Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
And prayers up for all political prisoners. Prayers up for Julian Assange and for all the protesters of January 6 who were or are entrapped in DC. And, please, Lord, we continue to pray for help for Pastor Pawlowski who is still being persecuted.
Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.
A prayer for members of the CTH that they remain strong and clear thinking and that the site remain a bastion of freedom and continue to spread the facts of our current dilemma to millions in this country and across the globe. That the light of freedom inspired by our Creator and enshrined in our founding never be extinguished by acts of man.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Amen

Verse of the Day – August 3, 2023
1 Samuel 16:7
“But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”
Samuel was a man whom the LORD loved and honored, and held in such high regard as Moses; as one whose words God would not let even one fall to the ground; and of one who could powerfully influence Him, in intercession for wicked people and undeserving of pity. (1 Samuel 3:19; Jeremiah 15:1)
Samuel had the Holy Spirit, and was a prophet; and was in fact the last of the Judges of Israel: so he was competent to see and discern what was, or was not of God. Yet he was also a man, and saw as a man, next to the things of the Spirit. The way Samuel looked at David’s elder brother Eliab, when he stood before him; was to look in his face, and size him up as a possible king for Israel. This was in fact how God picked Saul to be made the king. But when we go back to that point in time; the reason for the LORD having done that, was for giving Israel a king after their own liking; because they had rejected the LORD being their king: as it was said, There was no king in Israel in those days; but every man did what was right in his own eyes. (Judges 21:25)
Now however, God had given Saul every opportunity to take the right decisions and do what was right; but Saul wanted what was best for Saul, and for how he could be liked by men: and the commandments of God had to fall in line behind what he estimated to be more worth. This was not worthy of God, and would not be allowed for ruling Israel: and this is what He showed Samuel; that He was looking for a man after His own heart, who would fulfill all His will; and therefore not to look on a man’s face, or the height of his stature; which was no indication of his heart toward God.
Next to that, we saw afterwards, how that David’s three oldest brothers all went after Saul; even after they knew that Samuel had publicly told him, that God had rejected him as king; and they were watching as Samuel anointed their youngest brother king, in their presence. They may have been all excited and wondering between themselves, who is the greatest, and who would be anointed king; they were all happy to show some outward religious respects for what they might get out of it; but in their regular lives, they were not men after God’s own heart, and were not in agreement that God should reject the man of their choice.
John 13:20 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receives whomsoever I send receives Me; and he that receives Me receives Him that sent Me.”
Matthew 10:11-15 “And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire (examine strictly) who in it is worthy; and there abide till you go from that place. And when you come into a house, greet (pay respects to, welcome) it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.”
When we go to work for the Lord, and come to a city or town, or even a small group on a public forum website; we are to come with a welcoming and respectful manner; but before this, we are to examine strictly, who in it is worthy. Afterwards, just as the Lord has been kind and welcoming toward us, and has taken us at our word and received us; so we should afford others the same. But afterwards, when they have had the chance to prove whether they are like they put themselves out ot be, or not; we are then directed to take a course of action fitting to what kind they showed themselves to really be.
Does Jesus at any point imply that we do this after the sight of our eyes, or our feelings, by appearances? No; it is completely based on how He sees in their hearts, and His Spirit so guides us in discerning, by their words and actions. Showing up for religious events, does not make anyone a man or woman after God’s own heart; but the real life rest of their ways and behaviors.
Of course we know, that eventually all of Jesse’s sons passed in front of Samuel, until finally David was brought in. We have plenty of those who come for all the wrong reasons, and whom the Lord has not chosen; but that is not the end of the matter: God has His chosen and worthy ones, who are truly men and women after God’s own heart; who will fulfill all His will: and them He has anointed in the presence of their brethren.
His jealous and carnal brothers in a very short while after, would falsely accuse David of having naughty intentions, to come and see the battle; and many of his brethren and countrymen would take sides with Saul in persecuting David. The things of the days would eventually prove what was in every man’s heart toward God, by how they treated His beloved and anointed saint. When we see these things happening, we should keep with the Lord’s thoughts, and see as He sees; and look not at the outward appearances, but judge righteous judgment. What we, or man altogether sees or judges, must yield to God’s view, and His judgment; and we have provided to us all the means to know His mind on all things, if we have a perfect heart and a willing mind.
Jwoorrior, hope all went well at first school day for “kiddo”!
first day of her Last year
good job kiddo
Not quite… I wish. She’s a junior this year.
Sorry j
I misremembered
(Don’t you hate that word)
Lib teachers are brutal
I think kiddos attitude is gonna be key to this
She knows now what she’s up against
So jump in
Hold on
And get r done
Just stay outs my way
☘️☘️☘️
We will be here for backup j
Molon… no apologies.
I can barely remember yesterday.
Yes… the key I’m trying to adopt is not to get too emotionally invested in anything… except my daughter.
Today… what’s lie is truth and truth is a lie… so I’m staying focused on our faith and true north. No matter what the world says.. or what the liberals and nutjobs try to do… let them run themselves out of breathe and ragged with their schemes. It’s a house of flimsy cards and it will fall. In due time.
Like Betsy says… rejoice in the small things and I’ll add to circle our wagons and stay small.
I ❤️ the sweet friends here who keep me (and us all) grounded in reality. We are just the back up each other needs… you all and THE LORD.
Love you Treepers. Rest easy in God’s loving care tonight.
Hi Slowcobra….
Thank you so much for thinking of kiddo. She’s going in with a very detached attitude. A smiling one….a joyful one… but now of a conscientious observer.
She has TWO of the horrible liberal teachers… again… including the one who discriminated against her faith. So it’s going to be a year… but she’s seen miraculous things happen… so maybe they’ll change.
She’s a junior this year and has 31 of 40 credits… so we are shooting for early graduation senior year.
The sooner the better.
Just want that diploma.
Incidentally, the one who discriminated against her faith… that is her M.O. She’s apparently legendary with the kids.
Would love to see that mountain get moved.
Will be praying towards this goal of yours jwoo
FAITH like that of the mustard seed !!! 🙏🙏🙏
JWoo.. tell your daughter to take the abuse as a badge of honor and just keep smiling at “that “ teacher..🙏😀👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Awwww K9 sooooo excited to meet the Commander in Chief! 💘
