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 †

✝️ Daily Devotional, September 18, 2023
Lovely, Dan!
I had such a wonderful week and a half with my grandson and my daughter!! I am truly blessed
to have memories to share with Virgil. We took them to the creek in town, down to the beach
on the Gulf one day, to the local playground, to Old Alabama Town ( a living history museum/park),
and to the local creamery for ice cream. I read stories to him every night, we played board games, and
my triplets played with him all day in our pool while they were here. My husband showed him how
to play ping pong. He is a loving, creative little boy. My daughter now wants to move here in a year or two!
Our God is a loving, merciful Father. He WILL answer prayers.

Thanks Cactus, loved it.
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Mornin’ jay 🙂 Typing’s a little bit better today . . .
Howdy Garrison been putting my hands in ice water for a short time seems to help when they’re stiff. 🙂
Oh I SAY!!! A proper fry up! And I mean proper!! Thank you, Mr jay😁💕 Now, the question is…do I show my other British half who misses his fry ups? 🤔 Yes…if I saw it he has to😉
It’s what the British call their breakfasts of this kind Mr jay has graciously served this morning, Flyover. I should have explained.
A properly cooked one is done all in one pan with lard (not much I hasten to add) including the fried toast in what’s left from cooking the bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes and eggs. When I first arrived, the idea of fried toast held no appeal for me…until I tasted it. Yum! All of it!
Good morning Bet! Now I’m really drooling. That cat must’ve been ringing a bell. 😂❤️
Morning still but almost not, bro😘 Our reaction as well. There really is nothing like a well cooked fry up. Breaks all the calorie and carb rules but WORTH IT!!!😁👍🏻
If I may add, Betsy, as my mouth is watering, add this to your ‘fry ups’ some times. Not just a grilled tomato which is often served with ‘ a full English’ as it is also called, but try a couple of ripe red tomatoes, cut up, fried in ‘streaky bacon’ fat, (it doesn’t need much fat, it’s for the flavor) fry tomatoes till mushy, in other words, cook the tomatoes, they do not need to look nice, adding black pepper. The pepper and bacon flavored tomatoes are magic together. This works better with streaky bacon rather than back bacon. Eat with toast, or with the rest of a ‘full English’ as a full breakfast like this is also called(it is equally delicious in a ‘full Welsh’.)
Other things often added, depending on where you are in the British Isles,( as each area has its own local special things) like local cheeses and sausages, is pork sausages, big fat ones called ‘bangers’ and if you haven’t tried fried cheese or melted cheese in your ‘fry up’ you might like it. Betsy, you mentioned ‘fried bread’. Yes, to those who haven’t tried it, it sounds off-putting but it can be delicious as you said, fried to a crisp on the outside in the flavored remains of fat left in the bottom of the frying pan. Yum is right. 🙂
With a real breakfast like that you are set for the day! Great if you are travelling you probably will not have room for lunch, just a large coffee?
https://www.truebites.co.uk/blogs/ask-the-butcher/streaky-bacon-vs-back-bacon
Of course, I should have mentioned just having bacon with the fried red tomatoes and pepper with toast is great. I do realize that some food items are an acquired taste, but give it a try sometime.
Bon Appetite!
Afternoon, jb. Now you just stop it!! 😂😂😂
I will tell you, my friend, that the best tasting dishes I have ever had…and that includes desserts…were not the prettiest or most appetizing looking.
I could quite happily have your tomato and bacon concoction and be in heaven.
When I first arrived in Wales for the happiest twenty years of my life, I had to make some adjustments in my expectations…which I was more than pleased to do. One of them was no streaky bacon. Eventually I did find some at our local butchers and was glad to have it because I needed the bacon grease for many of my recipes. And for BLTs, of course.
But I was quite content with a bacon butty in lieu.
As for that delicious bacon/cooked tomato dish you described?
I think I may try it on top of cheese on toast…you know what that is I’m sure. The best I ever had was in a little cafe in Salisbury. I couldn’t get enough of it. And while I make it from time to time here, it’s impossible to find the right cheese…a good mild English or Welsh white cheddar, or my favourite Cheshire crumbly cheese.
There is a grocery store here (a massive upmarket HEB)which has all sorts of wonderful cheeses and occasionally I could find Cheshire, expensive as it was. I need to go back and do some foodie reconnaissance.
Anyway, rest assured I am going to try it on what is a delicious, simple quick meal…with a salad I think.
YUM!!!!
As for the varieties of sausages? My husband adored the little thin ones we always ate. Alas we’ve tried many here and found none which can compare. Still looking.
Oh, and speaking of sausages thank you for that link 😉😁👍🏻
Haha you started me off! LOL “thank you for the link”, Britain has so many different kinds of sausages and they are from the thin ones you mentioned I remember those, I think they had a bacony flavor? to big fat ones with different herbs and flavoring in them, each area has its own, and they even have sausage competitions and prizes. I know there was one competition in Devon at some kind of country fair not that long ago I will see if I can find the ‘link’. (Can’t find it so far, will get back to you if I find it later some time)
And how they could pick just one for a prize, I don’t know as its all a matter of personal taste.
You are right too there is nothing like a real bacon butty. 🙂 Try one with melted Cheshire cheese on it. You can use a bit of butter to cook with you need to coat the pan.
As for cheese, you are right, Cheshire Cheese is excellent. It has won many awards in the past. But you are preaching to the choir as that is where I was born. When I was a child I thought that was the only cheese in the world.
(I am a bit out of touch with things there nowadays )for cheese lovers, it is described as having a ‘nutty’ flavor. If you see it in a store it should be white to be real Cheshire cheese not yellow. I think for a while they were putting yellow coloring it for overseas sales. (Some people think all cheese should be yellow).. I too love its crumbly texture. I also love a Yorkshire cheese called ‘Wensleydale’ nice creamy taste, and they recently made some with blueberries added which I tried and it was delicious, but a bit too sweet for me (they sweetened the blueberries) nice for a desert though. I have never tasted Welsh cheddar but I expect it is excellent. Lancashire cheese is quite nice but it has a sort of vinegary taste. I like it though.
As you know there are many different types of bacon available in the UK but a lot of Brits love Danish Bacon. It comes in large slices. now I have whet your appetite or I have turned you into a vegan. :-))
Maidin Mhaith Betsy cast iron cookware is my personal choice seems to work with everything when I’m frying 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
YES! It’s a must ! Absolutely!
I almost put that in, dear friend, but our resident feral was calling rather urgently and I was summoned and had to attend.
Fried pound cake
-in butter!!!!
I hear that some people eat fried Mars bars or other some chocolate bar. Icannot even imagine how weird that would taste.
To eat that breakfast … I’d have to go out and work 60 acres … feed the cows, run the horses, and slop the pigs … then spend 45 minutes on the treadmill … 😜
My kitchen has no calories don’t you know 😁😁
That breakfast is mostly low carb , except for the toast or fried bread, and the tomatoes have some . But you could eat most of it with a clear conscience if you were watching the carbs. Hash browns and ketchup would be forbidden. :-))
But, but, but … ohhhhhhhhh mommmaaaaa … the saturated fats! The cholesterol! We’re all gonna dieeeeeeee!!! Aiiieeeeeeee!
Hahahahahaha … looks absolutely delicious
LOL Me too. That’s probably how it got started. Feeding hungry farmers when so much work was manual.
Howdy jay!

Please note: I’ll keep posting these guitar performances as long as you guys enjoy seeing and hearing them. As long as it’s fun . . . 🙂
Not only is it Fun , Garrison ,
It is Interesting , Enjoyable and a Good Learning Experience !
I Especially Enjoy Your Introductions to the Music You have Posted !
I Always Learn from Your Sharing of Knowledge about Guitars ! Your Familiarity of the Subject is Immense !
I Hope Your Hand is Feeling Better Day by Day !
Thank You , Garrison 😊
You are most welcome. 🙂
Morning, Garrison💕
I look forward to your choices each and every day. They are eclectic… different genres, different talents, different eras, different extremely talented artists.
And different and varied works and songs.
That’s the most wonderful aspect of music of all kinds. One never knows when a discovery will be made that makes the hairs on the back of the neck stand on end. A treasure to be listened to over and over, or a memory revived. As evidence for me I give you our Sunday benediction which, until you posted it, I was completely unaware of and which I love so much.
That’s the miracle of a
musical journey. The well of music just waiting to be discovered is deeper than we have time to delve into.
Keep it up, dear friend. I know I am not alone in appreciating your wonderful postings. Long may you continue! 😍🤗
Morning Betsy and Garrison..I’d like to add my thanks for enhancing my music education…actually to all on this branch that post music of all sorts..👏👏😀👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Good Monday morning, Jim😘 I can’t think of another site that even comes close to this one and especially nowhere near this beautiful gathering . First stop in the morning for me to scan, maybe a good morning or two, then a hefty dose of the stuff that keeps me going (coffee 😎), then back to catch everyone else. Blessed be your day, my friend.🕊💕
🤣👍😘
🇺🇸💪😀👍
😘!!!!
tree, kittycomittee, coffee, tree. like you, bets, no better place to be.
Ohhhhh….what a smile you have given me. I sincerely thank you 🤗😘
It’s easy with all the beautiful souls living in our Tree💕
I always read this thread, though seldom post. This is the only site I ever post on. I can’t get here until I’m off work, and Pacific Time Zone, so it’s evening, and I have time to only scroll through once.
This is a lovely community. I find peace here and an occasional answer to a spiritual question.
Thank all of you on your branches.
🙂
Mornin’ Bet. 🙂 If you ever get a chance, pay a visit to a guitar maker’s shop. Fascinating places.
Oh I’ll bet it is! Chris actually made a few dulcimers when we first arrived in Texas (I once more and he for the first time) I know her enjoy a visit like that 👍🏻 The instrument is all. There is artistry in every different one.
My husband built me one from a kit. They had the fret spacing wrong and it sounded horrible. I still have it (widowed 19 years now).
I heartily agree. I sample all of Garrison’s “hunted and pecked” collections. Me? I admit I like more popish tunes … not quite what I’d call “pop” music … most of that is dreadful … but pop-sounding tunes … that have beautiful structure and melodies. Those are the songs that most people like … because they truly resonate with our souls.
👻👻👻👻👻❣️
🙂
I really like the lute. I am fond of old music too.
🙂
What a beautful choice for a Monday morning musical treat… very calming and relaxing. It put me in mind of an old piece from Rod McKuen and the San Sebastien Strings. I hope you enjoy it as well
🙂 Thanks.
Good morning Garrison!

We have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. I Cor. 2:12
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand. Psa. 139:17, 18
O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

Thanks … you’re SO faithful in retrieving my musings. Thank you, again
The hope of the righteous brings joy. – Proverbs 10:28
The people of Judah had been taken captive to Babylon under the hand of Nebuchadnezzar. The prophet Jeremiah sent them a message of hope from the Lord: “When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:10-11).
At another time, Isaiah warned the nation of Judah of the judgment to come, but added, “Tell the righteous that it shall be well with them, for they shall eat the fruit of their deeds” (Isaiah 3:10). As a child of God, your righteousness is a result of your belief in Christ as your Savior, and your trust in and your obedience to God with whom you have a personal relationship.
Your hope has a divine foundation, “built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness… On Christ, the solid Rock [you] stand. All other ground is sinking sand” (Edward Mote). That fact should arouse hope in you that brings you joy.
Though difficulties periodically arise in your life, you can have confidence that God hears your prayers and will carry you through. Cheerfully accept what He has given you with thanksgiving; He is your keeper and provider (Proverbs 10:3, 6). Joys unspeakable await you in heaven (1 Peter 1:8, KJV).
The contrast between the expectations of the righteous and the wicked is stark (Proverbs 10:28). As you hope in the Lord your Rock, you can expect His joy, both in this life and the one to come. Pray for the people of this nation, especially those in government positions, asking the Lord to draw them to know Christ as Savior, and have the hope and joy of the righteous.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
Good still morning, dear friend. I am so late returning into say hello. But Chris started his next project of sanding, patching, and glossing the front door early and I was….ahem…”helping”😎.
And while I was doing that I had a look around at the part of the house we seldom see and OH MY!!! If I say Mrs Haversham would have felt right at home, I’m not kidding!! 😂
So it was out with the vacuum and furniture polish and once again it is company fit. A restorative cup of tea and now I have returned to wish you a terrific Monday and a chaos free week, sis.
And as always, YES!! Praising our Father for all the beautiful blessings He bestows and for all prayers which he answers in His own way and in His own time… and for His enduring patience with his flock who often stray but who are forgiven as He gathers us back into His fold.🙏🏻🕊💕
Oh, I hear you loud and clear – if it can happen – it does !!!
Whoever coined the word multitasking knew exactly

WHEW !!! Feel like I have worked a full week already !!!
Time for tea already – still on my second cup of octane –
Tea would only slow me down – and I would be ready
for a NAP !!! YIKES !!! Many miles to go before I sleep !!!
Amen to both of your beautiful memes !!! ❤️
HAVE A BERRY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️💙💜
HI, MO !!! STILL MISSING YOU !!! 💚💚💚

(Ditto, Mo💕)
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.

Just a word of warning. This hurricane season is far from over. According to the models, conditions will change to allow the possibility of a long track hurricane staying south and coming into the Bahamas.
As things warm up again in the eastern half of the US relative to averages there will be a persistent ridge of high pressure over the NE US and that is what Joe calls “A bridge over troubled waters” that is the typical pattern for tropical storms to stay south instead of recurving out in the Atlantic.
New England will continue to get pummeled by excessive rains as the low bringing storms to the west coast of Florida now lifts up to the north and bring storming conditions to the coast.
Update on Niki.
On Wednesday she had a surgery to get a pain pump. They sent her home and then she had a very bad night with an extreme headache. The doctor that did the surgery had them take her into the ER and then admitted her.
She remains in the hospital and they think that there is a leak of synovial fluid causing the imbalance that is giving her the headache. If the leak does not stop on its own she will do a procedure to induce a blood clot that it is hoped will allow the leak to heal.
On the upside, Sherry visited last night and said she seemed better. But my girl just can’t seem to get a break.
PRAYERS ONGOING FOR NIKKI AND ALL OF THE FAMILY !!!
🙏 🙏 🙏
I hope she can get a break, and soon.
She and your family are in my prayers.

The Moment We’ve Been Waiting For – FIKE
There is coming a day when all the world will see You shine
And a final embrace when Heaven’s Groom will meet His Bride
With bated breath, we will wait until that reckoning day
When all the world will know who You are
And in that final embrace, our God, in glory and grace
Will light this world like a nova star (and we will sing that…)
Morning rise…oh, my soul, sing your song of praise to Him
(He’s brought about…)
The death of night. Oh, my soul, sing your song of praise to Him
There is coming a time when pain will never sting our souls
We will see with our eyes as Heaven’s King will take His throne
And with the parting of clouds, His eyes are on His Bride
The restoration is now, for She is lily-white
All of creation will shout
“This is the moment we’ve been waiting for!”
I guess it’s all about perspective…
gimme kitty.
Oh my … and what an absolute Dreamboat Annie was in the late 70’s. My heart still gets all mushy for a young Ann Wilson …
reprise
I almost forgot about the reprise version at the end of the lp … because my son “borrowed” my Nautilus pressing of Dreamboat Annie so I haven’t spun the vinyl for quite a while …

BTW … the cover photo of the girls is simply hideous. They looked so much better than that
The world is going insane:

More Insanity.. End Times, when good is bad and bad is good.

Good afternoon, my Treeper friends. I miss being more connected among you. There is much happening among us. Much to do. Much to prepare for. Much to help each other prepare. But God is good, and He will be with us.
Amen goes right there, Doc !!! ❤️

Two amazing border collies herding sheep
Fascinating interview with a homeless drug addict and prostitute. She is well spoken and intelligent. I pray she can save herself.
