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 †

Morning Ya’ll 🙂
nice antique java accoutrement, there, Jay
🙂 🙂
I have Gramma’s;
it was her mother’s.
Howdy, nice to have a special piece like that to cherish 😁😁
Morning, Mr. Jay😎
It sure is.
Morning Patience! ❤️
Hi there, Pa❣️
Am so glad you’re well🫠
-💖
Hey, isn’t that thing on the right a prototype for the upcoming Tesla Truck? /s
Grandpa in TN had a grinder similar, don’t think they ever had a fancy electric pot, just a pan on the stove & filter.
😂😂
Tesla Trucks are so ugggggly. Was that really the best use of their R&D department?
Good morning JWoo! Didn’t even know there was such a thing as Tesla Truck. I try not to keep up with the EV industry. 😆
It’s horridly fugly…..
https://www.tesla.com/cybertruck
GB, that thing is fugly as a bucket of a..holes.
👍 🫣
I guess my comment ended up in the bin. I said the thing was ugly as a bucket of posterior orifices.
LOL! Apparently the Admins found it and posted it. So yes, you agree with my opinion of it. And I might add, the opinions of many others – I’ve read several articles over the past year or two since it was introduced, and people either love it or hate it… not much in between.
You’re a smart man. But, I always knew that GrandpaM.
We thought Teslas were cool, especially when we saw one at a dealership that could play and “dance” to a Christmas song. I enjoy the technology behind Teslas, but only as a novelty item. Would never want to depend on one to get me to work during wintertime in Central Indiana.
I have what used to be a friend that is completely sold on everything Tesla and Elon. Voted for Bidet and is fully vaxxed, too. Fortunately he moved out of Texas so one less commie voter.
I hope you put a tracker on him. He’s loose amongst us in another state. Lol
Maybe algorithms can be made for that? Lol
The design is cold, machine-like, inhuman. Like A.I.
They are trying too hard to look futuristic and edgy.
It is unappealing.
Good morning, Jay 1776.
Tiramasu… yum.
I believe the flowers are Impatiens which are rather “impatient” with me. I stopped buying Impatiens when they required my daily attention in favor of hardier plants and flowers that didn’t need daily watering. I still avoid them, but am now back to daily attentiveness with the plants I foster.
Winter is coming, though, so their time is short – but they are beautiful. We’ve been blessed by our tomato yield from our two patio pots. I have two 8″ bowls and one 12″ bowl stocked full to the brim on our countertop.
Blooms on a Dogwood tree but I also have Impatient flowers. Which cast a lovely aroma 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Maybe I had the wrong Impatiens in mind – I don’t remember mine being aromatic. Pretty blooms on a Dogwood, though.
Howdy jay!
Howdy Gramps EV trucks soon to be stranded out in the flyover country without a 100 miles of extension cords 😂😂😂
Yep! Go 100 miles – charge for how many hours? Let’s get real.
Or – install a charging station in your 30 plus year old home and watch your house go up in flames.
Or tow your generator behind.
Ha ha… I do have have a lovely indoor reciprocating model that might work. I bet the inrush on that sucker is huge.
The site is acting up. My posts keep disappearing. I said they can tow a generator to recharge.
Your posts are getting here, M.
I bet you’re on of those special 3 letter lists though… as I must certainly am.
Ah . . . Frank Frazetta paintings . . .
He did masculine men so well.
🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Jay … I’ve posted this recently … and just heard my streaming HS radio station KVHS just play it yesterday. I absolutely LOVE this cover for its ethereal guitar sound and really sweet vibe … Deep Purple were versatile if nothing else.
Oh … OK … how can I not include a little of my boy, Donovan …
I do go on … don’t I … 🤦♂️🤷🏼♂️
You can also do THIS with your hurdy gurdy …
cats in the sun, doggos frozen out
that’s ok, they’re bigger animals, bigger heat generators, the one with his tongue out looks like he’s trying to shed some heat anyway
They are the cutest ever. Of course, I am partial. We have two dopplegangers with the Russian Blue and the blonde domestic shorthair cats who are spitting images of our Daniel (RIP buddy) and his brother Timmy. Everyone is happy and content in this picture. What a sweet little family.
Gotta keep my hands tied not to run out and adopt more, more, more. Need to get us into a more permanent living arrangement to have more freedom and space.
one cant have too many puds. prrr.
I knowwww… it’s a sickness that I don’t want to be healed from. Ha ha ha ha!
Would not dissuade Buckely. He would go over them like weren’t there!
David Russel recorded all 4 of Bach’a lurw suites. Originally intended as lute transcriptions, they were also transcribed for guitar. Both the transcriptions and David’s playing are exquisite. If you’d like to explore all 4 lute suites, let me know in the comments section and I’ll post all of them. 🙂

Howdy, jay 🙂
Please note: The Youtube link appears to work despite the image not showing. If you’d like hear all of the lute suites, I’ll next post #1 followed by #3. Enjoy, Treeper friends . . . 🙂
I always enjoy them. Thanks Garrison.
God morning, Garrison.
I was only able to hear a brief portion of it, as kiddo is still sleeping. I heard a little bit of it and it was beautiful, so I’ll look forward to listening to it in its entirety later today while I work. I often have something playing in the background.
Thanks for sharing it.
Hope your hand is feeling better and you’re typing with both now.
Afternoon ‘Woo love 🙂 Going to my doc tomorrow morning for a PT referral. Hand is stiff bur improving a bit. Balance is way off, however. Thanks for asking.
Keep us updated, friend. Praying you well and back in order… all calibrated… and good as new.
Morning Garrison!
Afternoon, Gramps 🙂

Jacob Grimm
(1785-1863)
German philologist, folklorist and editor of “Grimm’s Fairy Tales”, dies at 78
Very interesting, about the Brothers Grimm. Thank goodness they collected those old stories , gruesome as some of them were. It would have been tragic to lose them forever. I can imagine their being told around a medieval fireplace on winter nights, the wind and the wolves howling outside. Thick dark mysterious forests, hiding what mysteries? What a different world it was then: a very scary place.
I had an old copy, a big book of children’s stories by the brothers, Grimm . It had scary illustrations in it like black and white engravings, I loved those old stories, just as much as I loved wildlife and forest stories like the works of Thornton W Burgess. Most of my books were used, I loved them, they were like old friends to me.
I don’t know where they came from or what happened to them, they were gifts to me obviously, maybe Christmas presents.
I don’t know here they went either I probably passed them on. I did not have a lot of toys but I did love reading. I had a library card when I was too young to have one. I got special permission. I still remember the Grimm stories, some of them. they made a big impression on me.
John Masefield wrote a book for children called ‘the Box of Delights’ it was made into a very simple and delightful movie about 1984. You can still watch it I think, if you can find it online free, it was free and available a few years ago, at Christmas is a good time to see it, (along with Alistair Sim in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol) as it is set in an English village (1930’s) it is in 6 parts. The work is very simply made, few special effects, and those in it dated and childlike. It also has shades of ‘the old times’ in it ‘when the wolves were running’. Giant rats, mysterious castles.. There’s nothing like a good story when you are a child, snug and warm in your home, maybe in bed, with a crashing storm outside and hearing strange thumps and creaks 🙂

Since they never mentioned the song he wrote that even the artist gave him credit for in the song, I will post it as a bonus.

I’ll Have To Say I Love You In A Song
I like his music.
The BEST lyrical rhyming of ‘wrong’ and ‘song’ ever in a song
” Every time I tried to tell you, the words just came out wrong, so I’ll have to say “I love you” in a song.”
Love him. Love his voice. Really relaxing and one of my favs.
The perfect Country & Western song. 😉😎
I’m not a karaoke person but DAC You Never Even Called Me By My Name will get me up on the stage.
The perfect Country & Western song. 😃😉😎
I like the bonus song, MMW.
However, being a lifelong train enthusiast, I am partial to the City of New Orleans tune, and most decidedly Arlo Guthrie’s rendition…..
FACTOID: The Chicago-to-New Orleans route of Illinois Central’s “City of New Orleans” passenger train was the longest daylight run (~16 hours; 921 miles) for a passenger train in the U.S. at the time (1947). It was, by any standard, a modern streamliner in every aspect. To this day, Amtrak still operates an overnight (sleeper car equipped) passenger train on the same route and under the same name.
Good songwriters don’t always make good singers, same for singers who end up writing a few of their own songs.
I have a Pro songwriter that occasionally visits the town here, he is a pretty good singer, not sure if he has written anything famous.
Tried looking at ASCAP but, he has a very common name and there are dozens listed.
If I ever hear a commercial jingle he told me he was working on for someone, that I can reverse look up.
9/20/2023 – There is a reason why things are happening the way they are now in the world
2 Chronicles 36:14-17 “Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which He had hallowed in Jerusalem. And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by His messengers, rising up continually and carefully, and sending; because He had compassion on His people, and on His dwelling place: but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised His words, and misused His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, till there was no remedy (no healing). Therefore He brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: He gave them all into his hand.”
There is no real difference between the people then and now. They had the same kinds of attitudes about God, and about their own lives in the world; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they married, and were given in marriage, they builded, and planted, and acted like their time would go on like it was for ever.
Many believed, then as now, that if they simply don’t care about God and religion, then it doesn’t apply to them. They thought that they were safe, to be anonymously mingled among the multitudes of likewise “No God” minded people; indifferent and unbelieving, and living only for themselves, and for today.
This has been in the world from the earliest beginnings, before the flood, and again in the new world after the flood. It remains to this day, as the natural man’s core belief about his life altogether, and the irrefutable system of his self identity; that he is alone in the world. But the part that men simply to chooses to ignore; (although they are easy to demand it of others, if they commit a crime;) is that thoughts, words, deeds, all actions have consequences. Time has no power to “heal” anything; there must be a reckoning with everything done; even if it doesn’t come out for many generations, or even centuries after. Not only will we feel the effects ourselves, after we depart this world; but the effects left in the world behind us, still continue, until payment or amends is made.
Judges 21:25 “In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” The generations which came, well after Moses and Joshua; who knew not the LORD, nor all His mighty works that He had done among them; vainly imagined that the “old religion” of their ancestors, was nothing they had to take seriously for themselves today. They held the same views of “no one tells me what to do,” as every “unchurched” person today. “Our tongues are our own. Who is Lord over us?” They truly believe, that freedom means, insubordination; and liberty is for despising lordships. So, God eventually stops sending to those kind, and gives them what they want, what they insist upon; then how do they howl and beg for God to come and save them!
1 Samuel 8:7 “And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto you: for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.”
1 Samuel 10:19 “And you have this day rejected your God, who Himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and you have said to Him, No, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.”
The reason for the kind of times at the end, and the complete abandonment of restraint; is for a people whose ancestors once feared God, and covenanted with Him, their lives and property and sacred honor; to whom God had respect, and showed them His favor, with great blessings of grace and knowledge in Christ; the generations now of their children, have forsaken the Lord, and all restraint, for the sake of letting hypocrisy and immorality kill their conscience. The reason for the times, is apostasy, and for the transgressors coming to the full. There is a reason why all these things are happening the way they are now in the world.
Jeremiah 25:28-33 “And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then shall you say to them, Thus says the LORD of hosts; You shall certainly drink. For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by My Name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says the LORD of hosts. Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and say to them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter His voice from His holy habitation; He shall mightily roar upon His habitation; He shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with the nations, He will plead with all flesh; He will give them that are wicked to the sword, says the LORD. Thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be *dung upon the ground.” (In other words, their carcasses shall be eaten by the birds, and the beasts of the field).
Don’t forget….there’s a good person and a treasure to everyone right there inside of you….

Mother’s Milk
One of my friends was breastfeeding when she was mandated by work to take the covid shot.
Even though she was not attending work due to maternity leave, she had to get the shot or lose her job.
Her milk turned a greenish colour. And she was telling me that the same thing happened to someone else she knew who took the shot while breastfeeding.
I don’t know if she stopped feeding or not. I’d hope she permanently stopped so her bub didn’t get any of the shot – but I don’t know.
I pray safety over your friend and her friend and their children. Not a bird falls from the air without God’s Knowledge of such. Blessings on you and yours, Rach.
Thank you, I appreciate that.
She felt she couldn’t say no to the shot because she has a big mortgage and a young family and would lose her home.
I was lucky enough to be able to lose my good income, and still get by ok.
Yes, that’s what “they” were counting on… for people to get the toxxine because of the threat of what would happen if they didnt get it. As if the threat of getting it wasnt as important!
We all had something to weigh in our voluntary decision to roll up our sleeve.
It sickens me that so many people caved.
I’m annoyed at those who got the shot early and for stupid stuff. I had a few co-workers who wanted the shot just for travel.
If half the people held out, they couldn’t have made it compulsory. In my previous job of around 30 staff, I’m the only one who didn’t take it. I knew a handful who took it but didn’t want it.
And I’m still upset from one young girl, around 23yo at the time, who contacted me on the last day it was required – she said she was getting the shot soon and if she doesn’t die from it, she’ll probably never be able to have kids. This doesn’t really sound like she “chose” to take it – as we keep hearing it was optional.
I was wondering about nursing babies being infected by their mom’s milk too.
However,if the Covid vaccine needs to be administered with a shot, can the spike protein that might be ingested by the baby through drinking mom’s milk be toxic?
Or is it destroyed in the baby’s stomach?
I remember that we were given the polio vaccine on a sugar cube, but that was different.
https://www.passporthealthglobal.com/2022/01/flashback-vaccination-with-sugar-cubes/
I don’t remember ever seeing a study on this specifically.
If you’re on twitter (I’m not), you could pose the question to the most excellent covid science account Jikkyleaks? I’d bet they would know.
Tweets by Jikkyleaks
However, I do remember a study that showed unvaccinated kids living with vaccinated parents were found to have the vaccine nanoparticles. They were breathing it in rather than it going through the stomach, though. But it is interesting to note.
Rach, I have seen multiple reports of the significant dangers on babies getting the covid quackcines OR still breastfeeding AFTER their mother as been jabbed.
Dr. Peter McCullough has begged parents and especially mothers to NOT get the vaxx because of the heart-damaging or lethal effects its had on large numbers of infants and children.
Here is the most recent article in Michael Shellenberger’s “Public” Substack column I have saved:
https://public.substack.com/p/covid-vaccine-mrna-in-breast-milk?
Unfortunately, the government and government-aligned “health” agencies and NGOs have flooded the internet with lies and disinformation that actually encourages breastfeeding after being vaxxed and even tell baldfaced lies that covid antibodies are passed on. Of course these same liars are advocates for jabbing the babies too.
It is horrendous that so many uninformed mothers are going to rely on these government lies and very possibly permanently harm their babies as a result.
Thanks – I’ll check out the link a bit later.
I worked for NT Health, which is the state level health department for the Northern Territory in Australia. We got an email sent saying that the vaccine is now safe for pregnant women based on real life data. At the time, the vaccine was first released overseas and only about 7 months earlier. I have kept a copy of this email.
I had to spend so much time explaining to my coworkers who were medical scientists that it’s not possible to know if it’s safe based on real life data, because it’s not possible to have real life data because it’s been less than 9 months.
I wish I had replied to that email and challenged it. And of course, I wish I had “accidentally” selected reply all to everyone in the state.
I’ll stop here, but I could go on and on about this topic.
Yes, I totally “get” your point. I personally have a long list of “coulda, shoulda, woulda” regrets that occurred to me after many life occurrences…..

….” Watch as a steam engine installed in 1908 comes back to life after sitting abandoned for 85 years! Our friend Alex Karnes will be our guide to the workings of this beautiful machine, as well as to many of the other mechanical antiquities that can be found within the walls of the water works.”…..
What an amazing look back into History, Invention, Creativity and Technology!
Awesome! I have forwarded this video to my brother in law who I know will find it fascinating as I did.
Thank you Sunnydaze for posting this!
YW, GB.
I’ve also forwarded to a couple people who are interested in all things mechanical.
I think it’s pretty amazing that even I- someone who (I thought) could care less about machines, engines, etc.- find this vid fascinating.
That steam engine machinery is a work of art!
My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed. – Psalm 71:23
The mandatory retirement age for generals and flag officers in the U.S. military is 64. Many states have mandatory retirement ages as well, some tying it to the age at which a person must begin withdrawing from the IRAs or other retirement programs, currently age 72.
However, God has no retirement age for you! You are intended to continue to persevere in the faith, serving in the battle of spiritual warfare. In fact, in your dotage, you have an even greater responsibility to testify to how the Lord has delivered and sustained you across your lifetime.
Even though aging brings discomforts of various kinds, the Lord is your constant Sustainer. Isaiah 40:31 promises renewal for those who wait, trust, and hope in the Lord. Some have suggested that verse reflects on the periods of life: you soar like eagles when young, run without growing weary in your middle years, and walk without fainting in the later years of life.
Plan to center your retirement years around praising and serving the Lord. Recall with regularity how the Lord has demonstrated His faithfulness to you throughout all the seasons of your life. Exult in the victories He has given you. Praise Him yet more and more. Intercede on behalf of generals and flag officers who are facing retirement to find a way to continue in service to the nation. Pray for those who are believers, that their service will include a response to the Lord’s goodness to them.

Extremely Common Rarities
Extremely Common Rarities • Watts Up With That?
You here the “news” and weather people claim there is evidence of this or that, or that storms, or floods, or wild fires, etc are getting worse due to “climate change”. They will say that “the science” has been settled on that.
Well the IPCC says they’re a pack of liars that have no idea what “the science” is. I would suggest that those that deal with true believers copy and keep this chart summarizing the conclusions of the most recent IPCC report.
Unlike the “reporters” and TV weather propagandists, the IPCC must put their claims in writing.

Mornin’ all!
Folks in Florida know Hurricane Season isn’t over yet – by a long shot.
They still have their eyes on the tropics – especially this big red blob:
Please keep praying!
Recovery is still ongoing in rural N Florida – Idalia hit the poorest counties and citizens in N FL and S GA
Power is largely restored, thanks to many brave hard working power linemen, but many roofs and buildings still have to be repaired or rebuilt.
Invest may make it to the Bahamas, but at this time is forecasted to recurve back into the Atlantic.
The yellow will bring some wind and rain to the NW coast of Florida, but is expected to strengthen and develop by Saturday at is moves up the coast. It is possible it will get strong enough to be of real concern to the outer banks as it moves north.
Impact to east NC may about the same as Idalia’s was. This system will likely move right up towards Cape Cod.
For some reason a little XTC seemed to fit here …
Faith is the Victory
oh, glorious victory that overcomes the world!
Thanks Flyover; I’ve always thought that the whole Book of Ecclesiastes is very interesting and important; but many times I’ve heard a small number of Bible teachers refer to it as being only Solomon’s carnal and worldly view of life.
It was an eye-opener to me some years ago, to learn the meaning of the word, Ecclesiastes, or, the Preacher; which is more closely understood as, the Summoner to assembly. So when we look at the many various proverbs from the view instead, as of the Holy Spirit Calling and Summoning to assembly; and using all the many aspects of life that we are all familiar with, to make us look at what they all really amount to, and whether they really fulfill us.
Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 “Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor that he takes under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him: for it is his portion. Every man also to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God. For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answers him in the joy of his heart.”
God made us in such a way, that we are happiest when we work hard and do good with our life. This is not put as something that conflicts with being a devout and spiritual man, walking perfect with God; but rather seems to me, to simply talk about the joy of doing our best and being blessed enough to enjoy the results of our work.
The part at the end pretty much sums up the whole point, as far as I can tell: for the things we do well in this life, and get to enjoy the results, is the reward from God for those things; but they will not be remembered when we depart this world. I think the idea implied, is that of where we are pinning all our desires for happiness and fulfillment. If its only for this life; then when we do right, God will give us fairly for what we put into anything; but that will be all; and when this life is done, all the happiness and rewards we received (be they all well and good;) shall not go with us out of the world. So its a friendly and fair way of getting us to look farther than the temporary; even the good and right things; to what we shall take with us out of the world, when we come to meet our Maker.
Verse of the Day for Wednesday, September 20, 2023
✟
“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?”
1 Corinthians 15:55 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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.
RISE UP PRAYER WARRIORS
In the morning when you arise
Thank God for the lovely sunrise
Thank God you have the eyes to see
Thank God through Him you are set free
So many are suffering in various ways
From family problems to general malaise
From discouragement to deep depression
Hearts, minds, and souls suffer repression
Each day God asks you to boldly come
To the Throne of Grace and beat the drum
Sing Praise to our God – Sing Praise
To our Deliverer – Our voices we raise
God told us to pray unceasingly
Give Glory Honor and Praise to He
Bring our petitions and lift them up
So that all may drink from the Blessing Cup
When you are troubled the Body suffers
Take it to God and pray for others
When we reach out and pray for one another
We bless father mother sister and brother
Our own concerns become less of a bother
When we reach out and touch another
So Rise Up Prayer Warriors and shout
Defeat the enemy roundabout
Send him back to the dry places of doom
Back off and prevent his message of gloom
Declare your victory over all that prevails
Defeat his plan and all it entails
Our nation has been attacked mercilessly
Over a long span of time most relentlessly
It is time to defeat that father of lies
It is time for Prayer Warriors to rise
‘Go To The Quiet’ if it need be
To replenish and refresh on bended knee
You must be courageous and strong
To fight this battle all the day long
Rise Up Prayer Warriors and come to their aid
For many who are lacking let hope be staid
For those who are allegedly down and out
Sing Praise – Declare Victory – and Shout
Decked in your Armor fight the good fight
Send our enemy and his minions to flight
Give it your all and you will soon see
And taste the blessings of Victory!!!

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
HOLY SPIRIT POWER
Whoever values the world – is not of God;
The Spirit cannot dwell in him – he is flawed;
Seek ye first the kingdom of God – in His Word;
All will be added to – have you not heard?
The Power of the Spirit is immense;
Indwelled with the Spirit is intense;
There is no comparison – none at all;
To anything worldly – the world is too small!
His Spirit within you empowers – protects;
He convicts you of sin – and He corrects;
No power in the universe – can compare;
Anytime – anyplace – or anywhere!
Trust in God – keep close contact – let Him in;
Pray He will send His Spirit to dwell within;
When the Spirit indwells – He guides your way;
Whatever you do – whatever you say!
All bad feelings – all hurt – attendant pain;
He will dispel – till you are free again;
He will guide your heart – so free you will stay;
The demons that pursue you – He’ll keep at bay!
All turmoil – torment – they seek to create;
He will disable – and surely abate;
Keep in obedience – and He’ll bless you;
With His gifts and fruits – that’s what He will do!
When you are tempted – by the evil one;
Think not twice – ask Him – and it will be done;
Take this thought from me – please take it away;
In Jesus’ Name – it has no power to stay!
In all that you do – what you encounter;
He will assist – and put it asunder;
Fear not the evil one – his power fades;
With the Spirit inside – His power aids!
In the supernatural war – we fight each day;
There’s no greater power – to keep them away;
Than His Spirit inside you – strengthening;
Protecting – their distance He’s lengthening!
Come – Holy Spirit – within me – I pray;
Keep all evil from me – keep it at bay;
Keep my heart – and my thoughts – pure with Your grace;
Indwell in my heart – shine Your light on my face!

DAY # 3 – MIDDAY PRAYER
Psalm 91. The most powerful prayer from the Bible. Pray it seven times. God’s protection, healing.
Looking at today’s world, you see how it rhymes with the times of Pope Gregory I… back in the day.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/seven-deadly-sins
BLM & Anitfa wrap themselves in these 7 deadly sins.
It is said that the 7 heavenly virtues will overcome the 7 deadly sins. That is a big ask.
PS, Gluttony seems to be the big ticket this time around…
It just doesn’t get any kewler than Fat Angel … a psychedelic song about a dead Mama Cass …
Sorry … my bad … Mama Cass didn’t choke to death on a sandwich until 1974. But can you imagine writing a song about a fat person being fat? In related news … the Queen tribute band no longer plays Fat Bottomed Girls as it might offend some girls.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
The 50th Psalm
Septuagint
Prayer of Saint Ioannikios the Great of Bithynia (+ 846)
My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection the Holy Spirit. O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.
From Small Compline
Rejoice Virgin Theotokos, Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, for thou hast borne the Savior of our souls. (Thrice)
Sitting out on the deck with two wet dogs. I gave Geisha her medicated bath first and towel dried her and put her out on her lead outside. Then Buckley got his bath, towel dried and then out on the lead. It’s 80 degrees, sunny, with a nice breeze. Can’t think of a better way to get them dry.
I think this new medicated shampoo they proscribed might be working on the skin gunk poor Geisha is suffering with. Allergies is what the tell us is causing it.
I have to do my two cats – you’ve inspired me. The boys get baths about 4 times a year.
Oh… I can’t breathe. Lol’ing.

My American friends, I am Israeli and a supporter of Trump and love the US. The following video is extraordinary about technology and biblical prophesy in Israel. A remarkable inspirational and educational video. It is about technology and innovation from Israel so as a prefix I will mention just a few developments from Israel that you probably used and don’t know its origin: Many of the computer brains (microprocessors) which are in PC computers were developed by Intel in Israel, many of the Window softwares from Microsoft are developed in Israel, CT scan technology for imaging, Instant messaging technology (Whatsup, Messanger etc..), all new cars which have alerts if you go off the road or too close to a car, cherry tomatoes, Waze GPS, the way all online banking security works in the world is Israeli innovation, and more. Enjoy the video.
Substack article “A Radiation-Mimicking Disease of Access: The Only Reason Why We Initially Believed SARS-Cov-2 Was a Respiratory Virus is that the Respiratory Tract Is The Initial Point of Access” with links to the studies cited. It talks about how the virus mimics radiation pneumonia:
https://wmcresearch.substack.com/p/a-radiation-mimicking-disease-of
the final sentence of his article really captures one’s attention:
“I will continue investigating SARS-CoV-2 and its Spike Protein and how the Spike Protein looks more and more like a “transmissible radiation weapon” – without, of course, using actual radiation.”

The ‘sedition hunters’ they call themselves
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/09/here-you-go-america-gateway-pundit-uncovers-troves/
“The Gateway Pundit recently obtained THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF J6 FOOTAGE from the Sedition Hunters online crowdsourcing group.
Sedition Hunters define themselves as part of an anonymous group that tracks, identifies, and reports Trump supporters and protesters who attended the January 6 protests in Washington DC to the Federal Bureau of Investigations”
Methinks ‘Sedition Seekers’ might be a more appropriate name for these ‘citizen groups’ who take pleasure in injustice. The initials would be fitting: S.S.

No matter how hard they push these EVs , it will still depend on the potential customers thinking to themselves before they drive away in one: will there be enough convenient places to recharge? what will the recharge cost? how long will it take?and how can I afford the replace the very expensive battery, when the time comes?
( I think I will keep my gas-powered vehicle.)
