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 🙂
Oh… that looks soooo good❣️
-Sadly…. Having a bad hair day.
Good morning Patience! ❤️
Hello there, Pa❣️
Good afternoon, M.
Hi JWoo!
Howdy Patience seems like those two cabinets should be miles apart 😂🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
https://media.istockphoto.com/photos/the-toilet-room-is-littered-with-old-unnecessary-things-landfill-and-picture-id1189357315?k=6&m=1189357315&s=612×612&w=0&h=-6ZzQ3H1DJWg3ZwX-Kg2nWhSfYqZH_4B_0Rn5L6GX9w=
You think that’s bad???
You should take a look at any “junk drawer” in any kitchen! Don’t know where it all comes from😂
(By the way…no WAY does my bathroom look like that!! 😎)
We call those
“hell drawers” in my house. 😝.
My mil used to casually, yet, intently😳, open drawers
under the guise
of checking out the wood joinery. 😂
Boy was she surprised (shocked!)
when she found
that my kitchen hell drawer had been neatly compartmentalized. 🤭
Also:
Would —almost rather die than keep a bathroom
any where
near that clutter and yuck!
😂👍🏻!!
Ohhhh we had junk drawer reorganization recently. I bought these – now our drawers look FABULOUS!
Amazon.com: SMARTAKE 29-Piece Drawer Organizer with Non-Slip Silicone Pads, 4-Size Desk Drawer Organizer Trays Storage Tray for Makeup, Jewelries, Utensils in Bedroom Dresser, Office and Kitchen (Clear) : Home & Kitchen
Nice!!! I would and might yet…BUT!
I have organized mine, nobody to go look for something and find “someone” has also gone to look for something, or add something… and, well, you know… 🙁
Oh! I need to order that to organize my knife drawer. My Dear One keeps buying knives. There are so many now they’ve over flowed into the buffet silverware drawer. 🤣😂😾
Ohhh they are SO NICE and my drawers look beautiful. My garage storage is the same… nice and organized.
When you live with a human tornado… these things help to set a standard… if you know what I mean!
I do know what you mean. I have 2 daughters. One is an organizer of everything except her bathroom counter. The other is a procrastinator so her countertop is the same.
I bought my first NICE set of knives about 2 years ago. Wow, game changer for sure. Love slicing and dicing now, as long as it’s not my fingers.
Leaving that object on the floor below the left cabinet door would never be allowed at our house :p
🫣
Excuse me, Patience? How did you get a picture of my teen daughter’s bathroom?
Kidding – she’s not THAT bad – but it does take a small act of Congress to get her to clean off her counter! Geez – well, maybe not “Congress” because they don’t really work anyway.
As a young teen
the theme song to my room was Climb Every Mountain.
Ma used to say that theater would be a good place for employment; as whenever she chose to expose me to shame, the room was pristine when opening the door.
Eventually she learned the magic trick: look under the bed and behind hanging clothes in the closet.
She way amazed her first few visits to my first home, saying, “ I didn’t know you knew how to clean!” Haha
She pert near fainted when she opened cabinets, especially the one with spices, towels and – oh my… the pantry.!!!!
Organized clutter is the name of the game.
Hee hee!!! Kiddo and I got into it the other day and she was sulking in her room. She set about organizing her bureau drawers and she was so PROUD of herself. Her socks – her 1,000’s of socks – all lined neatly side by side instead of piled in a heap. She LOVES it. Now… about the REST of her room!!!
Purpose is necessary to feeling ‘alive’!
Often times it seems that it’s the smallest of accomplishments that garner quite a bit of satisfaction; especially when they, at first seem mundane yet tedious… those ‘little’ things one often puts off for another time … and is then dreaded.!
It always feels so calming when things are in good order. Daily maintenance is key, of course, yet so easy to fall behind
-without the simple discipline of use it and put it back.
Good for Kiddo
Ok – now this is something I would totally do! Ha ha!!! Hi, Patience!
Morning, Mr Jay!! Bless you for getting up so early to prepare this feast! Much appreciated, my friend. You really are a treasure😉😘🌞
Maidin Mhaith Betsy rattling pots and pans seems to get me moving 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Haha!! Amazing how much louder they sound in the predawn hours!
Good morning Bet! Quiet morning here. Busy Litzy had to take a friend late last night to the ER. Didn’t get back until after 5 this morning. Now catching up on some sleep. I’m waiting on a phone call, then will try and make a room in the rain water pump house for a new chest freezer that is supposed to arrive tomorrow. After that will head to work out in the early afternoon and finally will pick up Nipper from school and we’ll have a Nipper evening. ❤️😘
Morning, dear friend💕 Oh no!!!! I hope she’s all right. What an angel your beloved is🕊
Busy Lizzie?? Busy YOU!! But we seem to be the same all of a sudden. My visits here have become sporadic. Yesterday I was unable to get back during the day for all we are doing in readiness for when the weather will be getting colder.
Chili with the grands and their mom last night. They keep growing, I keep shrinking. Good you’ll have Nipper. I know you treasure being able to pick him up from school. They were the best times when I was doing that. Now the lads drive themselves and their sister, a newly minted provisional driver is following.
Chris is going to be taking her out to teach her the way he did the boys. I’m already pummeling her with instructions about being aware of her surroundings when she fuels up (for example)…doors always locked, don’t get out of the car until she assesses who is around her, lock up while she is fueling, etc. Times aren’t what they used to be….
Make it a good one, bro! Off to do some minor shopping with a mental list of what I need…which means I’ll forget at least one thing.🤔 Adieu!😁💕
Hope that you remembered everything dear sis.
My pump house is clean and ready to receive the 6 foot freezer. They are supposed to deliver tomorrow but haven’t got the confirmation email yet.
I see to remember to by milk for Nipper after I pick him up. Right now I’m at the health club. ❤️
Getting stronger every day? Excellent. O bought milk today, then got to the car only to find I’d somehow left it.
Went back and the checkout lady whom I know well had missed it. Instead she checked it out to the guy behind me. We pulled it out, she cancelled it off the man’s tab. But bless him, he said don’t worry about that and was prepared to pay for it.
Well I couldn’t have that! But I thanked him profusely. What a kind thing to offer. There are some really good people in this old world of ours.
Had she and I not been chattering like two magpies I would have noticed. I don’t have an off switch…so my fault 😂
Don’t forget Nipper’s milk!!!😉😎💕
Ha ha, I finished my workout a little early and went by HEB first. Got milk and strawberries for his pancakes, and a small bottle of chocolate milk waiting for him in the cup holder of the rear seat. And I’m sitting in the truck waiting for the school to get out. Yesterday I asked him witch car should I pick him up with and he wanted the Titan truck. Miss V and he decided a couple of weeks ago that it was the perfect truck to fight off the zombie apocalypse. 😂😂😂
We’re finally getting an HEB!! The only one anywhere near us in Tarrant County is their upmarket one called Central Market. Loan headed to shop there.
Ok, so check!! Milk bought. Now we know why Titans are the preferred mode of transportation in the minds of farsighted young people like Nipper and Missy V. Both clearly in possession of critical thinking skills 😂. I want to be in their platoon when the zombies decide to strike!! Hugs to both of your gorgeous grands, dear friend, from the invisible Auntie Bet 😉🤗💕 all y’all have a super evening!
Howdy jay! I’ll take the top one.
Howdy Gramps lots of choices 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
But, but, but … Jayyyyy! A streaming radio station I listen to has a “Public Service” message on a continual loop (I hear it every day) … that informs me that ALL my meals NEED to be mostly fruit and vegetables FIRST … and a small amount of proteins and breads after that. I’m afraid your breakfast photos are “not in the Public’s Service” … as deemed acceptable by … “experts”.
Yeah … the nags and scolds have also never convinced anyone of anything … so glad we are “Nanny-free” here!
Both my grandma’s said bacon is in the fruit category 😁
Phew! That’s a relief
I like your G’mas Jay.
😁😁
Gottabe!
Somewhere I have a link that in California a bee is a fish!
Well, now hang on a minnit while I rummage through some notes.
Rummage, rummage, rummage…..
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/05/31/california-court-rules-bees-fish-protected-endangered-species-act/
See?!?
If bees are fish it is an undeniable fact of life that bacon is fruit!
If you don’t believe me just ask me!
And never, ever, ever argue with your Mamaws!
Gospel!!!!!! Never!!
Yep, and my dogs are people too🤪🤣
Put a cork in it, Kenji!!!! We don’t take any of that mal, dis, or mis-information here.
This is an EAT MEAT zone! HA HA… JUST KIDDIN’ YA!
Mmmmm steak and eggs … mmmmmmm
Jayyyyyy…. I’m starving. I haven’t had breakfast or lunch today – so going on 18 hours of fasting – unintended fasting. Just how my day is going. Your post makes me hungry – the steak and puff pastry looks delicious!
JWoo, count it an intermittent fasting day. 🤣
I just ate 200 calories of sardines in olive oil… high omega 3.
Pulled out some frozen carnitas meat from the freezer and I’ll reheat it and fry it with some tortillas or a ciabatta roll.
It’s been one long, drag my wagon day.
Seriously good choices, jay:-) Thanks, dude
🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Howdy, G!
Hi, ‘Woo, darkin J-) Urgent care x-rays show fractures in both fingers—GP office completely missed ’em.
I hope they’re getting taken care of! Expression of concern! (Since there’s no image) Get well soon!
Oh my gosh!!!! Nooooooo!!!! So sorry to hear it Garrison. I suspected such with your dramatic swelling causing the removal of your ring. You must have taken one heck of a fall. You didn’t hit your head? Nothing else out of place?
So sorry for your paw. Hopefully they were minor breaks and just a brace needed, or are they fitting you for a cast?
Maybe you can post using voice activation in the meantime? We all speak auto correct here.
Any word on the low blood pressure? I know first hand that blood pressure can be tied to pain, but it usually goes up in response to pain.
Hmmm… you’re a mystery, G.
Using finger splints, ‘Woo. Heart rate was 75 about an hour ago. 🙂 Hqed to write more at the moment. Sorry.
No apologizing, G. None. You are here and amongst us – so you just take it easy and no herculean efforts for a while, okay? Eaaaasy.
Oh goodness, Garrison. I pray urgent care has taken good care of your hand after seeing the x-rays. No wonder you’ve been in so much pain.
🙂
Howdy Garrison 🙂
🙂
Timed out. Here’s one of Brower’s more famous concert pieces . . .
Good morning, Garrison😘
Splendid choices as usual. Thank you!
I didn’t get back till late late yesterday and saw you’ll get your x-ray today. Praying for a positive outcome and a course of action which will see your hand recovered and pain free, dear friend💕
Please see my above to “Woo 🙂
Morning Garrison! Saying a prayer for a favorable X-ray result.
Thanks 🙂

Jimmy was truly amazing. What a loss to the music industry. But his life was a cautionary tale. Not just drugs, but a personality and irresponsibility so grating that nobody from Wings bothered to attend his funeral. Talent isn’t enough. We should all work on our “goodness” … which, of course, flows from God’s Word and Love …

great song, played it in a bar band in ’75
That must have been a blast. But the warm tone and nuance of McCartney’s vocal performance is hard to duplicate.

‘Tea bag’
Hey, jb!!! Yes!!! We had a sweet Jack Russell who adored tea! We’d always save her some from each cup. I can see her right now slurping away.
So sorry I didn’t get back yesterday afternoon but saw your Jaffa cake post.
Those were something I never did learn to like. My husband on the other hand?
Pretty sure we can get them at our nearby World Market. Or certainly at The British Emporium also just a short drive away. Of we are going to splurge, I’d prefer Walker’s shortbreads.
I am able to get my Oxo beef stock cubes there which I cannot do without. I use them for my pot roasts. The American stock cubes are WAAAAAY too salty.
When we first came back to the States, I used Wyler’s…the same number as I would the Oxo. I had to throw it all out. I hate waste but it was inedible.
The Oxo cubes are pricey, my goodness they are…but there are just some things that are worth it.
Hi Betsy, I understand about the jaffa cakes 🙂 I think they are an acquired taste. I remember my mother was crazy about them.
Jack Russells are little balls of energy aren’t they.
My husband is long deceased, sadly, died young . I, after taking up the hobby of genealogy, and looking into his family, found he had a cousin he would not have known about. I did not know much about his family, and even he did not much , as his parents had divorced when he was little and it was never discussed.
This cousin, he is close to my age (getting on a bit) 🙂 and on old pictures looked so much like my husband when he was young. He and his family lived a long way away, in a remote place. They invited me to visit them. They had an acreage largish, near a lake The cousin loved animals and they had some livestock (not a lot but enough to be self sufficient. They also had a much adored Jack Russell called Daisy. She was adorable and bouncy and loved to sit on knees ( for a few mins then she was off again. )
That brave little dog gave her life trying to protect her person (the cousin)when he was out in a wilderness area, luckily always armed as there are a lot of wild animals. He did not see what was coming up near him but Daisy did and she took on a cougar and fought him bravely . The cougar was shot, I think, but Daisy was so badly injured she did not survive, despite what the vet could do when they got back. Daisy was so loved and I am sure had the pleasure and pride of knowing she saved her person.
Yes, oxo cubes used to be a must in every house when I grew up. Like HP sauce and Worcestershire sauce ( what’s this here sauce? 🙂 English hot mustard Colman’s and Keen’s. I haven’t used OXO cubes for a while. Maybe I will pick some up next time I am out. I did see they have a chicken stock which I have not tried. They are very good. Sometimes on very old pictures of the UK you will see billboards and posters on old buses advertising Oxo. You are right about some things being worth it.
I always get if I can find them, they are not as easily found as they used to be, P.G. Tips tea bags. As you probably know it is the best selling brand of tea in Britain and has been for a very long time. I really like that tea. I drink it English style with a little milk in the cup first, from a teapot of course. But I kill the mood by drinking copious amounts of it from a large mug, not an elegant fragile china cup, just as you probably do with your much-loved coffee. It tastes just as great that way. I like coffee too. But I NEED that first cup of tea in the morning or I cannot function, and I look like that flustered wild-haired dog you posted a picture of a few days ago. 🙂

Yesterday in Washington our Home Secretary Sueella Braverman, gave a powerful lecture on the international refugee/economic migrant/illegal alien situation.
I cannot find any unbiased coverage of her great speech except in the UK paper Daily mail.com.
All the usual Murdock and Bill Gates supported biased media give it their usual slant.
Of course our Marxist bbc give it their take.
It would be interesting if her suggestions were to become policy to address this international problem. I am surprised I cannot find any coverage in the US media. Can anyone enlighten me?
After muchco searching I found a clip over at Whatfingernews on something called X. Better than nothing I suppose as she could/should be next British Tory leader.
Good morning, Patrick. I hadn’t seen you in so long and was distinctly thinking of you per many things British we in this house always keep up with.
Dear SueElla… what can be said of her and her gormless comments about …in that maddening phrase “something MUST be done!!”…the illegals flooding into your country whose people I love. Could you hear our massive eye rolls from where you are?
There is little coverage here of your situation, but plenty of ours, which is the same. A coordinated erasing of borders throughout the Western world is how we read it. Look no further than a WEF which fired their starter’s pistol, signaling to the rest of the world immigration laws were a thing of the past – come one, come all.
Of course any sources of accurate, unbiased info in Britain are close to nonexistent, especially with the odious online censoring bill about to be implemented, with the full force of law.
I’ll leave you with a site I visit daily to get further insight into the absolute train wreck Europe has become, and getting worse…though it focuses main on the continent. And one more which seems to be putting in articles about Britain’s descent into out and out fascism…under a “Conservative” government.
We here are with you, Patrick, and your countrymen. Put on the Armour of God, my Scottish friend. I have few hopes that most there understand yet what’s at stake. The very existence of a country so dear to my heart. I keep watching and praying. Godspeed and blessings always 🙏🏻🕊 Bet

Thank you so much Lady Betsy for your felicitations
I do visit the Gates among many others.
Just like yourselves, we have become a banana dictatorship especially with the new censorship laws.
I do think you should listen to Suella Bravermans speech as weak as she may be,she is the best example
we have of a conservative politician.
I remember after the 45 day wonder PM Truss who was dumped for Sunak, Tradesman resigned and then was reappointed.
I see Rees-Mogg was knighted today. Don’t know what you think of him as a potential PM. We can’t abide Sunak but Starmer would be worse.
We truly grieve over the lack of Brit politicians who aren’t climate worshippers. So much change there since we came to the States and none of it any good.
I miss the Queen…
Today I saw the most beautiful sight that anyone will see. It was just at the shopping centre – a dad hugging and kissing and playing with his baby. And the pure joy and love on the faces of dad and bub.
However, if someone tilted me at the angles that kid was moving, I would surely throw up 😂
That’s how it oughta be, Rach.
Gotta love on your babies and play with them!
Hope you can get some sleep.
Exactly how it should be!
Almost 7pm here. I have plenty of time before bed. And I have a late start tomorrow morning, too.
Hope you have a wonderful day, even if you have to get up in the middle of the night to start it – 4am is definitely the middle of the night!
Good morning Rach! That made my day. Cheers!
Good afternoon/evening. It made my day, too!
And then, knowing Almighty God is in charge of the things we are not, try to develop one of these… thank you, wodiej 😊🙏🏻
?w=600&h=713
Lovely painting too.
Bright, isn’t it!😁
Yes it’s very cheerful, Its very well done. It’s confidently done but it is also delicate and dreamy. It looks like its done with watercolors which I am usually not that crazy about, but this one I like. Of course it could have been done with acrylics with the paint much diluted enabling the layering.
Thanks Wodiej these days I have to remind myself on a daily basis to calm my anger and remind my self let his will be done he has ultimate authority be well God bless
R.D.
I love this wodiej. Thank you for posting.

Are You Washed In The Blood
Good morning, Phflipper. Loved this! Praying that our America which we love and see here will rise again, with the merciful help of our Father to Whom we humbly give all praise and glory.
Good morning, Betsy. I pray His will be done, as more and more this world is unrepentant. However, I do know the community here is not the world at large.
No it isn’t, my friend. What a blessing of such magnificence that we’ve somehow all found our way here. So grateful🙏🏻💕
Another tourist who didn’t read…
That is funny.
I can see his friends telling him to be completely still so that they could get the picture.
Well, they do call it bird watching. This time it is bird watching bird watcher from his binoculars.
Makes me wonder if it thought that was a good place to find some juicy tidbit crawling around.
Haha…in the UK, which I’m betting where this was taken, avid bird watchers are called “Twitchers”. Such people who, like so many of us, love seeing winged creations big or small are endlessly mocked…which I never understood.
Which reminds me. I want to watch again that wonderful movie with Jack Black, Owen Wilson, and Steve Martin about a bird watching competition. It’s about life as much as it is about birdwatching.
But thoroughly enjoyable. I recommend it to anyone who needs a break from life in general and who wants a couple of hours of a jolly good movie.
The Big Year Trailer
A scene from this happy movie
And finally!! A brief video of what a Big Year is by people who did one😁
It would be worth spending some time outdoors with binoculars to catch sight of one of these…but with his dinner??
Oh my!!
Loved that movie!
I will watch for it. Sounds good.
“No dear, I haven’t spotted any yet.”
🫣😁🤣
She made me think of AOC.
The woman with the ponytail getting pulled.
I’m not sure AOC can read…so an apt comparison 😂
There is definitely a likeness. 🙂
“There’s the smoke signal!
Let’s go visit Betsy”
Good morning, Miss P and Ma!! 🌞🌷🌞 Please bring some that lovely autumnal weather with you. So glad you saw the “invitation”! 😉

Ahhhhhhh 🍁🍂😌
PRAYING…🙏🙏🙏
It will get here😘…it always does😁. Bless, girl, and thank you!
I love that picture. It reminds me of a Scottish saying; ‘Lang may your lum reek.’ Long may your chimney smoke!
I’d not heard that one. And now I’m remembering our oh so lovely sweep who would clean our chimneys in Wales… Rhys the Sweep.
I’d always prepare a mug of tea and something to eat for him when he came. A gentle soul and very good at his job.
Aww that sounds so lovely. I love the way the Welsh people do that Rhys the Sweep, Daffyd the Post. etc.
Verse of the Day for Wednesday, September 27, 2023

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.
For our Warrior Wednesday. We all kneel before You, O Lord, our strength and our Redeemer. 🙏🏻🕊💕
Amen goes right there, Bet !!! ❤️
Stevie would like this one I’m certain, duchess 💕I can hear her saying the same…AMEN!🙏🏻
Amen, for sure!

Good morning, sis😘 All are precious in His sight💕🙏🏻🕊
A groom surprises his bride…I am moved beyond words. None are possible😌
Please pass the tissues !!! Tears of Joy – Mind you !!!
🧚🏻♀️ 🧚🏻♀️ 🧚🏻♀️ 🧚🏻♀️ 🧚🏻♀️ 🧚🏻♀️ 🧚🏻♀️ – Angels at the Wedding !!!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I wasn’t looking for as many tears (of joy) as I wept. Or the joy that filled my heart either. A welcome unexpected gift🌷😘
Here you go, Duch… have some of my box that I needed to wipe up the flooding from my eyes!
Showed kiddo – “Wait to marry the guy who would do something like THIS for you!!!!”
Yes, Woo!!!! Just like him!!! My tissue supply ran out while I was sobbing away. There is someone out there already who will eventually treasure your Savannah. Count on it🙏🏻💕
I’ve been praying for him for a long time. As The Lord wills it.
I pray the same for my precious granddaughters. Trying to teach them to value themselves enough to wait for that one person who recognizes who they are and will treasure them. In His hands be it🙏🏻
Morning Betsy.. what a beautiful addition to this couples wedding ceremony.. love it..😀👍😘
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Wasn’t it WONDERFUL, Jim?? I had to watch it several times. The bride obviously loves her little charges. And the groom loves her and understands how much those precious littles mean to her. I predict a lifelong happy union for them both and wish for them all the blessings He can bestow.
(Lucky man who won her heart💕)
AMEN – so many prayers of blessings on their union.
I’m sure Almighty God will smile on them both🙏🏻💕
Retired Special Education Teacher here, I cried because the video reminded me of how much I miss my students.
They do win your heart, Dave. And Lord love yours for what I know you brought to their lives.
I was struck also how the photo above with the little girl with Down’s Syndrome appeared for me just as I was getting ready to post that video. Coincidence? Not a chance!
Thank you Smelly Dave for all your work and attention to our kids. Blessings
Thank you Besty…
1st time donning makeup in weeks: am like a black river
-Just lovely💖
Welcome, dear friend. Of course this would be the day for makeup. I swear by waterproof, but I think even that would have taken a heating had I put any on…💕
…beating…
Awwww… who needs make up! LOL Not you. I’m sure you’re gorgeous just the way The Lord made ya!
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗!!
Beyond words. What a loving and precious gift. That man is definitely a keeper. Pure love.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
JOY IN THE MORNING
When the day is done you take your rest
Do you feel distressed do you feel blessed
It depends upon the problems you faced
Were they debased or were they erased
In your night prayer were you of calm mind
Or was it impossible to unwind
You cannot get a peaceful night sleep
If you cannot release the pete and repeat
What voice do you hear as you pray intently
Is it the voice of one loving you gently
Or does it accusingly press you down
Reminding you of past ploys abound
The enemy attempts to derail you
Finding fault with whatever good you do
Making you feel unworthy of God’s love
Distorting your status in heaven above
Do not believe him – he constantly lies
God will forgive you a word to the wise
Have faith in the God who loves you in spite
Of each foible and failure or minor slight
Repent of each sin and/or opt offense
Jesus always comes to your defense
He loves you more than the enemy can
He’ll never leave you it’s part of the plan
His anger endureth but a moment
While weeping/wailing may indeed foment
Remain in his favor and please repent
There’s Joy in the Morning for time well spent

So many prayers…
Good morning brothers and sisters! Great to see you this morning. Prayers for you all and for US all!
Thank you for being a reflection of His glory! A City on a Hill! A light in the darkness! Competent to Counsel! Full of Grace and Mercy and inspiration.
Thank you all for being God with skin on
In you, the Word can walk around in the flesh still, and my faith strengthened with you in hope.
Good morning, Doc.

Morning Doc! Have a blessed day!
Blessed be your day, Doc. Lucky are your patients who have an Oath Keeper as their physician.
So beautiful, CountryDoc, thank you for posting it and blessing us reciprocally. You are such a dear one!
I wish to live up to half of the kindness you say – because this girl is fighting HARD and when I am in the presence of evil – my blood boils over.
I only pray for The Lord’s approval when He looks at me and says “Well done, my good and faithful servant”

Psalm 91. The most powerful prayer from the Bible. Pray it seven times. God’s protection, healing.
This is not a cure, but it may give some hope to people :

What happened to having Christian messages and illustrations of Bible stories in the stained glass, even just images of beauty.

Chester Cathedral, images of their stained glass. Chester, county of Cheshire, was a Roman city.
Here is the missing link (sorry) for Chester Cathedral:
Sick. The people who thought this is appropriate for a church are truly sick in their hearts and heads.
Good afternoon.
Plumbers are at the house installing new gas lines for when the additions are put in.
I have to have the gas company move the gas meter but to do that I have to have plumbers put in new gas lines under the house. New meter will provide twice the supply the current one does because when I have the whole house on demand generator I will need the extra volume.
So there is a 1″ stub end coming out of the foundation in front where the new meter will be. A 3/4″ stub end being installed that will supply gas to the garage. And later, after they get the stainless steel flexible pipe, there will be a 1″ stub end coming out the block foundation at the back where the generator will be installed.
All of this work costs $2,416.00.
As soon as their done I will call the gas company to come out and install the new meter.
Tomorrow at dinner I am having an old employee from my family’s business come over to meet the dogs and cat. He will houses sit for me when I drive down to Florida to get Sherry next week. She is ready to come home.
Never a dull moment.
Hi Rah,
I hope Sherry’s visit was a good one and the girls are doing okay. Bless you, brother!
Thank you.

“Depleted uranium (DU) is a byproduct of the process to enrich uranium for use in nuclear fuel or weapons. The United States has vast stocks of the material, which is essentially nuclear waste that is 60 percent as radioactive as raw uranium. Beginning in the 1970s, the material began to be tested in sabot rounds — dart-like projectiles fired from tank cannons designed to pierce the solid slabs of frontal armor used in Soviet tanks of the time.”
Yes … sometimes “soft rock” also called “yacht rock” in today’s parlance can be really good. I mean REALLY, REALLY good …

Lyrics: RIGHT DOWN THE LINE
You know I need your love
You’ve got that hold over me
Long as I’ve got your love
You know that I’ll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you, woman
Right down the line
I know how much I lean on you
Only you can see
The changes that I’ve been through
Have left a mark on me
You’ve been as constant as a Northern Star
The brightest light that shines
It’s been you woman right down the line
I just wanna say this is my way
Of telling you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of telling you
That every day I’m loving you so much more
Cause you believed in me
Through my darkest night
Put something better inside of me
You brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams
I put them all behind
And it was you woman
Right down the line
I just wanna say this is my way
Of telling you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of telling you
That every day I’m loving you so much more
If I should doubt myself, if I’m losing ground
I won’t turn to someone else
They’d only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you woman
Right down the line

Londoners Fight Back Against Anti-car Restrictions with a New Army of ULEZ “Blade Runners”
“The attacks on this network are only increasing. Not only are the public against the fines but they are also against this new level of surveillance. Sadiq Khan operates a network of 1544 Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras. ULEZ will add another 2700.
This level of intrusion is too much. Enough is enough.”
And even though
I asked you to go
I miss you every day

Thanks for sharing !!! SHALOM !!! ❤️
new Substack article by Mattais Desmet where he adds his interview that he had done with Tucker Carlson about one year ago; a nice reminder of where we were just one year ago in comparison to what we now are more fully aware of what our world is being made to endure:

“Business tycoon Elon Musk said that he would rather land in prison than dismiss workers for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
“My concern was more the outrageous demand that people *must* take the vaccine and multiple boosters to do anything at all. That was messed up,” Musk wrote in a Tuesday post on X”
