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 †

Perennial favorite – happy Caturday, y’all
Incognito 😜 Perfect 😁
Just in case the word “insouciance ” needed a visual 😎
Dang Betsy! You sent me right to the dictionary … and that doesn’t happen with me very often. What a great word … now … if I can only learn to pronounce it
One of my favourites, Kenji. It is exactly as it sounds. And that’s the word that came immediately to mind when I saw this devil may care feline😁
😎
My oh my what a wonderful day…… 😁😎
Funny. But Crazy Horse was still Young’s BEST accompanying band.
Zuma is a really good lp
“Southern man don’t need him around anyhow.”
Neil is a great musician. Sadly, he is not a nice man. Not at all.
Agreed … politically. But he’s done some really charitable things, such as his “Bridge School” concerts for the last 30 years
https://www.bridgeschool.org/concert/
But … yeah … his belief in global warming (communism) and the money he’s spent fighting fossil fuels is really fighting against wealth and prosperity for all … except him.
Sadly true.
You got that right. Neil Young is rude and crude. I saw him in-person at Ste. Michelle Winery and was shocked how rude he was to his fans. I was never a fan. Just went because my boyfriend liked him so much. Go figure.
LOL
I seen ’em
Whatever happened, it was the cat first to the lookout.
I LOL’ed!
👍💕
Bobcat and kits
Gonna have to go to the store and stock up on meat, and meat by products …
No wonder she’s so thin!
This is from Swedish Martial Metal band Sabaton from their Carolus Rex album, this song is A Lifetime of War, about the Thirty Years War that torn Europe apart, cool stuff, the entire album tells a story. Lyrics on the video, there’s one line in Swedish, it is Dopass Och Do I Strid*, which means Baptised And Died In Battle. *Please forgive my lack of Umlauts, I can barely get my ears and tongue around those, let alone type them with a standard keyboard.
I was just introduced to this Finnish group, Nightwish, an intensely orchestral symphonic metal band, the songstress is a classically trained opera singer, decent choral section, fairly epic, I bought the CD the very hour I first heard this one, will probably get most of their oeuvre. While intense, this isn’t dark for the sake of dark or harsh for the sake of being metal, it’s very well done, the band is a product of the turn of the millennium symphonic rock movement in Europe. My musical obsession began largely with Electric Light Orchestra back in the day, so my ear appreciates a lot of instruments going at it!
I quite liked this, Maquis. This is an idiom I’m not familiar with. Still, I “get” it. The anguish reflects our dangerous times. The composers and performers of this music might be dead – – – a day, a month, a year from now. It. Just. Ain’t. Fair.
Great music outlives its creators!
It’s like bringing forth children, in a fashion, a part of you that may never die.
I’m glad this was well met, it’s great to swerve into a fabulous group that has a twenty year deep history of albums to catch up on, one of my favorite parts of exploring music around the world, haphazardly for the most part though it be, serendipity sees me through.
Yep
When I was younger, I aspired to be the greatest drummer of all time. Of course, I knew this was futile. But, one must have a goal.
Neil Peart of RUSH was who I studied. I loved the insane complexity of their sound. Before Neil died, they did add a live symphonic sound with live performers as a background which I was anticipating for so many years.
So, this is a wonderful find for me and I’m grateful you are here to help us discover new possibilities in musical genres.
This track also reminds me of Dream Theater. You may know them, but if not…give them a listen.
You and Garrison and so many others here have a hold on the greatest material we have to love….and I certainly appreciate it. Thanks so much for your excellent contributions.
I love Nightwish! Their song Gethsemane helped me get through my mother’s final illness. It has a chord progression that rivals anything Beethoven wrote, but only for a few measures. Sublime! And on that same album there is a song that has some drum solos in that are insane – gotta be 180 tempo! It’s hard to believe it’s not computerized, but it isn’t; he must have some seriously fast twitch muscles!
I believe they changed genres and lost that lead singer, went to ballads instead. I didn’t care for the growly heavy metal songs.
When people ask me what my favorite kind of music is, I’m at a loss. Classical? Symphonic metal? Celtic harp? Techno? Hmmm…
Heitor Villa Lobos is a famous Brazil composer whose music is played by virtually every internationally known guitar virtuoso. Here we get to listen and watch his famous Guitar Concerto. In my experience, this wonderful music was first made popular by an iconic John Williams LP recording. Unfortunately, I was unable to find a live Williams performance. Still, this performance by Pablo Sainz-Villegas hits all the marks. Enjoy Treeper friends.
Good morning, Garrison and to all our dear friends…and of course little Tink, sweet kitty.
Coffee please…
ok, i lol at the poem.😂
almost got a haiku thing going there!
Mornin’ zoom🤗 😁
One more coffee I just might get there😉
Mornin’ Bet 🙂 ‘Tink sat at my feet while I had my morning Bustelo. It was obvious she was “looking after” me. Sure, she expected her morning pats . . . but still . . . Good kitty.
I love her, Garrison. Just thinking about her devotion to you makes me smile 🤗
I said “NO foam”!!
TOO LATE!!!!!!!
Garrison, I wish to give you high thanks for all your musical devotions here. We really need it and your efforts are widely appreciated by all.
And so say all of us!!!!!😍
A day without Garrison’s musical contributions just isn’t right. 💕

Argh.
In order to get maximum beauty sleep for my lovely brain cells I’d really like to know when the man is actually expected to speak.
I am having an increasingly difficult time finding such information.
“is actually expected to speak.”
That is tough. At 1:00 p.m. ET RSBN normally will give an approximate schedule ……
RSBN always has it available for replay ……. that might be your best bet if you need your beauty sleep.
Have a great MAGA Saturday!

Happy Caturday everyone! And a special thanks to our friends Colkitto and Betsy Jones for your very kind words to me yesterday.At least now,I don’t feel like such a freak for caring for our beloved animal friends.As to me and my wife,they are part of our Lord Almighty’s kingdom.They too deserve the love,compassion and mercy that He has bestowed upon us all as well.
The birds,squirrels,fish,turtles,etc. that we feed I think are most appreciative as well.
Many blessings to our treeper friends,past and present.Amen. Casco 🙂
No, no, NO!!!!! You are NOT afreak, dear friend😘.
How we treat animals says everything about our characters and our souls. But I know you, Casco. Your good heart shows itself, and makes you precious in the sight of St Francis and God. The pages in your Book of Life will attest to that in due time. Bless you now and always, kind and generous sir🙏🏻🕊😘
Good morning. Home safe & sound.
The boss vetoed the route through the Smokies. Said “get me home ASAP.” So It was I-95 to I-295 (Jacksonville bypass) to I-10 to I-75 to I-24 to I-65.
Departed a little after 03:00 yesterday and arrived home a little after 18:00 yesterday.
Good Morning,
Shortest time but I usually do anything to keep from routing through Atlanta
Passing through Atlanta this time was much better than it was coming down. In fact I lost more time on I-24 coming out of Chattanooga than I lost in Atlanta. Traffic did not clear up until we got to Mont Eagle. Nashville (which I call Crashville) was as screwed up as usual.
Sherry is as happy as can be to be home with me, her fur babies, and her normal routines. And so am I!
Today is a day of rest for me. And Sherry will not be cooking because she is going to be busy getting her house back together. Going to pickup a couple of Big Sir subs from Pizza King for dinner.
Tomorrow I tear out the castle rock so the final prep that I have to do for the new construction will be done. I will mow also. Not that the yard needs it that much, but to grind up leaves to keep ahead of them. Better to mow the leaves several times than to wait and try and do them when they get really piled up.
Fall is upon us. Highs in the 50’s and lows in the 40’s for the next week or more. Time to bring in the plants.
Glad for your safe return

I have good reason to thank Mr Carrier…
My son who had badly lost his way but through his own efforts, aided by the mercy and grace of our Lord and Saviour, joined the Navy, then went into the Texas oil fields for a while, but eventually became employed by an Austin HVAC company while he attained his certification. He was then poached by a well known national HVAC name and excelled to the point with industrial HVAC he was named national technician of the month and invited to speak to the annual corporate meeting.
So he, and I, have great reason to thank Mr Carrier for his invention for more than one reason. God rest his soul.

Good morning all!
Mask madness is upon us again!
The way to advertise that you are stuck on stupid, watch the MSM and are afraid to live is to wear a mask in public.
I guess I should pray for the mask wearers as they are also most likely vaxxed and boosted and their time here is short

MORNING
The meek will he teach his way. Psa. 25:9
Blessed are the meek. Matt. 5:5
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill. Ecc. 9:11
A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps. Prov. 16:9
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God. Psa. 123:1, 2
Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Psa. 143:8
O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. II Chron. 20:12
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. James 1:5
When he, the Spirit of truth, is come he will guide you into all truth. John 16:13
EVENING
O Lord God, … with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever. II Sam. 7:29

Making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding. – Proverbs 2:2
Have you ever tried to define “understanding?” It may be harder than it sounds! For example, you have probably met a person who has a firm grip on the facts of a situation yet still misses the larger meanings and implications involved. That person has knowledge, but not understanding!
Most philosophers and theologians agree there are components of reason and judgment involved in fully understanding anything. Jesus Christ addressed His disciples after speaking about His death and resurrection, repeating the mandate from Moses for living the life of faith (Deuteronomy 6:5), “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” (Mark 12:30). That incorporates every element required for spiritual understanding.
Followers of Christ live in a place of daily discovery, both in the attributes of triune God – Father, Son, and Spirit – and also with yourself, observing and coming to grips with your own individual traits and tendencies. Spiritual growth takes place when you allow God to use every area of your life to teach you.
Much of the time this will be through circumstances, prayer, and Bible study applied to your real-life experiences that will provide new insight. When you make a conscious decision to yield yourself completely to His instruction, mere knowledge grows into understanding!
The Holy Spirit is eager to help you grow and progress, but you have to desire it and actively focus on it! Pray that those serving America in positions of authority develop Godly understanding for themselves, and apply it to the job they do.
Ask God to touch the hearts and minds of Americans to repent and return to Him so that the U.S. is again “One Nation, Under God” – a culture showing spiritual maturity and Godly understanding.

The Golden Gate Quartet – The General Jumped At Dawn
1944…..a year before the end of WWII …..
There was a lot of “jumpin’” in 1944.
“Goin’ to have a BBQ in Berlin.”

Cactus: How did we get from this, to rap?
Thats an interesting story. But without going into a long explanation, know that it was NOT organic. In a vry short time period between late 1980s and mid 1990s, almost ALL traditional Motown music (i.e. like the 1960s Temptations, Four Tops, Otis Redding, Supremes etc) quickly disappeared from radio stations, and was replaced by hiphop and rap. No more love songs, but instead angry, hostile, distressed vulgar lyrics barked out to a beat, without any “melody ” or much musical accompaniment at all.
It was a deliberate move by spiritually shady powers within the industry done in order to usher in hate, anger, and division among the black population.
They’re great! And wouldn’t you know, the shortest, skinniest one has the deep bass voice!
I Will Sing Of My Redeemer
Prayers for our friend David in Israel. May he and his family be safe.
May peace come quickly to Israel and may losses be minimal.
AMEN, Rach, AMEN 🙏
Also agree..🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😀👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
🙏 🙏 🙏 Amen!
I am late because I got caught up in Menagerie’s thread on the unwelcome devastating news.
I immediately thought of our beloved Israeli Treeper David who posted yesterday.
Father, bless Israel and her people who are beset on all sides by Your enemies and hers. Protect all being terrorized so that those who witness Your mighty righteous Power will know You are Almighty God. Amen 🙏🏻🕊
Rach: Count me in.
happy “cartoons and cereal day” everyone.
for levi, and all other silent tree-branchers who are in our thoughts and prayers.
After reading Menagerie’s article on Israel, I thought my tribute to levi today seemed , well, almost trivial or something. But no, it’s not; it’s even more reason to remember the importance of tradition and relationships.
peace to all who gather here… thank you Jesus, for our joy in being together.
I think I found a picture of Levi..the source for his gift to us.
Cartoon and Cereal Day…
(Betting he sneaked a few of the Saturday western in as well😉)
Prayers always for our Missing whose branches we keep swept and tidy. Until we meet again🙏🏻💔
That was literally me at 5yo after I got a “Fanner 50” toy *gasp* GUN and holster set. Even in 1960 … little boys wanted to hunt down bad guys. Now … anyone who has that thought … is the bad guy.

And me, Kenji, at 7, of you can believe that!!
On Saturday mornings I couldn’t wait to get up to watch the Roy Rogers Show. I laid out what few cowboy clothes a little girl that age had the night before and could barely sleep in anticipation.
And I, too, had a “gun” which looked remarkably like the one you’ve shown!
Those really were the days…😌
Hmmmm … a Tomboy, eh? You were obviously “begging” for “transition” to another gender, eh? I’m so, so, sorry they didn’t hand out puberty blockers like Halloween candy as they do today. /sarc.
A girl like you, when I was age 5 ? We might have even let you into our fort …
A distinct honour I would have been proud to accept!!😍
👍
clever young cowboy there … knows to prop his hat up as a decoy as he fires from cover a little lower
My favourite part of this wonderful artwork, nim😉👍🏻
Nice pick up !
And “That’s all folks!”… 🙂
……..sigh…..
Honey! Remember, we’ll be flying south soon.
Whatevs…
Pack your bags kids!!!!
ROAD TRIP!!! 🤗💕
Haha! ARE WE THERE YET!?
Gonna miss the li’l buggers…
I know you are, my friend. We find ourselves noticing day in, day out, which of God’s feathered creations who have found that our house is THE place to be for food and bath show up.
We can’t lay claim to hummingbirds, alas; but it’s not for lack of trying.
Mostly noisy jays, little wrens with their sweet songs and chatter, cardinals (Mr and Mrs, permanent residents though no offspring), the odd Texas sized robin, dove…and that’s it.
We miss dreadfully our little British birds…blue tits, small robins, nuthatches, and non feathered little hedgehogs …and our magnificent peacock who landed one January day and adopted us.
What an ornament he was to our garden! We fed him on dry cat food of which we had an ample supply of because of the numerous barn cats which also adopted us from the surrounding farms.
Joey, as we named him for no particular reason, would let me know it was feeding time by appearing at our kitchen window…or I should say his head appeared, as he was just tall enough for me to see his beautiful crested crown. He’d strut and preen and spread his magnificent, colourful, expansive tail feathers in the large garden to let all the others who lived there know that it was only his beneficence that granted them the privilege. He was King…and that was that.
But all lived in harmony with one another…Squirrels, birds, cats…all reigned over by Joey.
Now see what your beautiful pictures have wrought, my friend???
Memories, memories…
All of them delicious mental cocktails. I am positively drunk on them. A sincere thanks for that!
Best to you, ERROR, and your beloved Kim😊😘
Mornin’ all! She’s baaaack….
Morning
How many different ways can SHE say “deplorable”
Exactly. But in just as many ways as I can say ‘hag’ (and I cleaned that up).
Verse of the Day for Saturday, October 7, 2023
✟
“But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.”
Habakkuk 2:20 (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.
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
A repeat worth repeating.
Pure joy!!!💕
ADORABUBBLE !!! ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️
Who could fail to smile with them?? Wonder what’s made them laugh so 💕…
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
GO TO THE QUIET
When the turmoil around us becomes too great;
When the burden within us is all deadweight;
When we tarry and trod with no end in sight;
We must ‘Go to the Quiet’ – and set it aright!
Our Father – who reigns in Heaven above;
Send forth Your Spirit – send us Your Love;
Bring us to the place – where Peace can renew;
Forgive us – correct us – refresh us anew!
No prayer – no petition – no noise – just peace;
The chattering – thinking – complaining must cease;
For God knows the heart – to the heart He speaks;
When we ‘Go to the Quiet’ – it is God who critiques!
Without God – we are nothing – and thus – remain;
So from doing it ourselves – we must refrain;
We simply cannot know the mind of our God;
How He touches hearts with a poke and a prod!
Do you feel frustrated – weighed down – and lost?
Have you calculated – or even – noted the cost?
Have you cried in the night – petitioned the Lord?
Have you strayed – and paid what you cannot afford?
Have you made deals with God for blessings received?
Do you know how greatly you have been deceived?
Can you even imagine what God thinks of you?
Racking your brain – as you think what to do?
Please STOP – and ‘Go to the Quiet’ today;
STOP writhing and wrangling this wrongful way;
Jesus is waiting to connect with you;
So STOP what you’re doing – right now – please do!
In the Quiet – peace and comfort – you’ll find;
Free of turmoil and strife – rest for the mind;
LISTEN – to what God wants to tell you – please;
HEED – to His Spirit – and feel the release!
Give up your control – let Go and Let God;
Quit trying to be what you’re not or defraud;
Just LISTEN and HEED to His QUIET advice;
God minces no words – He is very precise!

Dearest duchess, my sweet sister, if ever there was a need for your beautiful poem, it is today
Be still and know I am God.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
WOW !!! THAT IS AN ASTONISHING VIEW !!! ❤️
Duchess, I was busy looking at the architecture and the juxtaposition of the ancient edifices and wondering why they were built that way…
And then suddenly I saw!! I can not tell you how overwhelming and powerful and moving it was for me to finally realize how far reaching was the vision of those who knew exactly what they wanted to accomplish.
In this chaotic world today where evil is all around us, the message is clear.
LOOK UP! LOOK UP!!
ALMIGHTY GOD IS IN HIS HOUSE!!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
AMEN AND AMEN !!! ❤️
Nave, apse, transept … in the form of a cross … is how the Roman Basilica and later medieval churches were planned. And as stone building technology (flying buttresses) improved (by trial and error) the heights of the High Gothic Nave soared to the heavens and were lined with clerestory stained glass … flooding the space with the rainbow of God’s creation
I am overwhelmed by the sheer beauty of what you’ve written, dear friend.
Poetry….😌🕊💕
You flatter me … I was just trying to provide a brief history of church-building. I was fortunate to have been taught Architectural History by Spiro Kossoff
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiro_Kostof
… and his understudy Stephen Trobriner
https://ced.berkeley.edu/people/stephen-tobriner
at UC Berkeley. When either of these men finished their two-hour long slideshow/lecture … the entire Hall of 250+ students rose to their feet and gave them a standing ovation. They were THAT good. Every lecture. And every lecture was THAT good … engaging and oh so informative. In fact I learned far more about WORLD History from these Architectural History courses than I did in straight History courses.
I know, I know … I’m just a dirty communist hippie from UC Berkeley. Actually, my Fraternity nickname was CoOp … because when asked by the brothers where I’d live if the Frat didn’t select me … I said “maybe in the CoOp (read: dirty hippie) housing. They never let me forget it. I’m one of a very, very, small subset of Berkeley grads … a diehard conservative. Go figure.
And as much as I liked most of the guys in the Frat … I ultimately moved out because I received a “blackball” in my little black pledge book that we had to keep in our Mail cubbies so the brothers could give us stick by writing up blackballs in our books. TRUE STORY: I brought a girl from class over to the house to work on a project … and when I was looking for any new Mail … she pulled my black book out of the cubby and said “what’s this” … I explained it all to her and she opened the book and read: “Dude, this blackball is for bringing an ugly girl into the house”. She thought it was written about her (she’d been here before). She left the house immediately almost crying, and never returned and barely spoke to me again. I liked her too. Yeah, some guys don’t know how to act. Esp. in the Greek system.
sorry … but I’ve got stories to tell … 🤦♂️😜🤷🏼♂️
Well that just makes me sad for her, Kenji…and you. Who knows how that affected her the rest of her life.
And yes…people, especially at that age are horribly cruel.
This story you told about your professor has fascinated me. And it makes me shout, “MORE!! MORE!!!”
I don’t know if you ever read the most wonderful stories by our Treeper brother by the name of Texian. We don’t see him anymore and I’m sorry about that.
He was a diver for the oil companies in the sixties and regaled us with his memoirs which were so compelling I can’t begin to tell you. You would have appreciated them.
So you wouldn’t be the first to regale us with yours,my friend…
Give it a think….😎
Oh … I was pissed. I liked the girl a lot. She was a VERY strait laced Catholic girl from San Francisco- when such things existed … of HARDCORE Irish extraction. I’ll tell you … those were the days in SF … pre-DiFi … when the private Catholic schools: Saint Ignatius and Sacred Heart … in SF were at the absolute pinnacle of scholarship. Yeah, I think it hurt her a lot…. and sadly, our friendship was over … because I associated with people who would say such a thing. I learned later that she had married and had children, then died of cancer at a very early age … like 38 or so. Which made me even sadder.
The note was written in retaliation of my refusal to start a relationship with a cute PI Fhi coed (our sister house, next door) who I had taken to a formal dance at the SF Rowing club weeks earlier. Without going into all the hormone-driven activities … I showed the girl a good time. Well, while we were dancing at the Rowing Club … she … without any helpful warning … puked all over my shoes, and pants. Seems she got quite a head-start on the drinking at her Sorority. Oh well. TBH … although she was a cute little rich girl from Marin Co. … I kinda lost interest … which is really surprising because I liked nothing better than a girl who liked me. But this was one of those almost “reverse providential encounters” … a message from God to seek deeper, more meaningful relationships. Who knows … but in hindsight … I could have ended up “marrying well” … and taking over daddies business or some other soul-sucking endeavor.
Our house “social director” … a clone of “Otter” from Animal House … only far more arrogant and a total a-hole wrote the note on behalf of the puking Pi Phi date. He was pissed that I dumped the date he had set up. He married a DROP DEAD GORGEOUS girl from the PhiPhi house had two adorable girls … was living the high life (literally high on coke all day) … and ran HIS daddies business into the ground … bankrupt … and his life fell totally apart … divorce and all. Well … sometimes the arrogant pricks pay a price for their toxic personalities.
Just to finish up the story 🤦♂️
See? If you had married her you wouldn’t be here now I doubt. “Ifs” are irrelevant. Your road was known to God even as you weren’t sure where you were headed.
(My older daughter was a member of Pi Phi at Baylor. But she is the prettiest, sweetest, most loving, hardworking, funniest, kindest woman you can imagine…then and now.)
Something tells me your daughter never ‘ralphed’ on anyone’s shoes … 😂. Although there was probably NO DRINKING at Baylor … 😂😂😜
So you’re a Texan? Not sure I know your locale …
When you’re down, flat on your back, look up and see this…believe in the spirit that lifts you up.
How can one not believe?? He is all around us!!!!🙏🏻🕊
Amen goes right there, Bet !!! ❤️
My American friends, Today is a very sad day for Israel. We had a surprise attack with terrorists from gliders from the sky, boats and ground. The situation is not fully understood yet and there is a lot of media confusion. Not all is published but there are over 40 dead (probably a lot more), over 750 injured and citizens are donating blood as there is scarcity. And there are hostages. I don’t know how many, Hamas is claiming 35.
They managed to occupy about 7 towns and army bases or a base and at this time about 3 towns are still in heavy combat. I saw footage of terrorists shooting at Israeli vehicles and killing families with children. There are thousands of rockets fired at Israel. I saw a footage of Israeli national counter terror unit negotiating and preparing and assault at a hostage situation in a town. During the years Israel had rounds of operations on the Gaza area. This one was declared as a war, not an operation.
Israel has called its reserve forces and tens of thousands of soldiers are now on the way to the areas.
We are also preparing at the north border with Hezzbolla to prevent them from joining the situation and there are soldiers moving to the West Bank as Hamas is calling a wide attack. In the past Israel attacked the near areas to the border at Gaza. I think this time we will have to go all the way in.
And they prepared it so there will be many explosives in the houses and under the roads. It could take a heavy toll from Israel but there must be a response that will be remembered for decades or Israelis will replace this government. Yes we need prayers for the hostages the dead, injured and those who lost family. I will give you more precise information and footage later. Shalom.
PRAYERS UP 🙏🙏🙏
SHALOM, DAVID !!! WE ARE HERE FOR YOU !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!

There is a long thread here today entitle, “Pray for Israel.”
I hope you also posted this on that thread.
Stay safe!
Thank you!
You’re very welcome.
Thank you for providing first hand information, and especially for letting everyone know you are safe & sound.
Take care.
David, thank you for taking the time to give us your perspective. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your country.
Prayers for you and Israel David.
Prayers and Godspeed David.
Thank you, dear David🕊
We are watching the ongoing monstrous news . You will know every one of us are praying for those under attack, those held hostage, and those who have been slaughtered by the terrorists who do not understand that Almighty God will never abandon her.
We await any news, dear friend, which you can give us. You are in our hearts and always in our prayers. May Almighty God fortify those who are called to protect Israel with the unflinching courage and abilities they are known for the world over.
Shalom🙏🏻🕊
Thank you Betsy !
God is with you, my friend, an advantage denied to your enemies….As it has always been 🙏🏻🕊
Prayers for Israel and prayers for you, David. The American people stand with Israel. Shalom, my friend.
Prayers for you David and your family and for Israel. Thank you for this update.
David: When I visited JPost (yuk), Times of Israel and A7 this morning, I could not believe what I was reading. I thought it was some kind of joke; April Fool’s Day in the English language Israeli media. I was wrong.
This looks like Yom Kippur ’73, all over again, but with unconventional warfare.
Am Israel Chai.
Right.
My prayers for swift and terrible military retribution flow toward Israel. I hope today’s Israel has the same fortitude as 1967 Israel. This is no time for peace … that can only come after the EVIL enemy is thoroughly vanquished.
Thank you. We don’t have the 1967 spirit but they just United us. So maybe it will be different. The nation is still in shock.
Will it take the same to unite this country with the deliberately engineered disparate factions which have been pitted against one another?
I fear it may well…
🙏🇮🇱🙏🏻🇮🇱🙏🏻🇮🇱🙏🏻🇮🇱🙏🏻
🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
The answer is unfortunately “yes”.
Something has to. We are at each other’s throats here, as intended. I’d hate to think of would take something as devastating as what has happened in your beautiful country…but I fear something like it will come at some point.
And my love and compassion for the Israeli people exceeds my anger and quest for righteous retribution
I read this in the news this morning (west coast California) and was horrified. I immediately thought of you. So glad to know you are well. Have been and will be praying for you and all of Israel continually. May God protect you all from all evil.
Holding you and our brothers and sisters in Israel firmly in our hearts and minds through prayer, dear David. Our United States government does not represent the people here. We are a people of peace, as I know you are as well.
Holy Father in Heaven,
Send them in, Father.
Send them in.
We plead Your warrior Angels to put on their armor,
mount their steeds,
and make haste!
Let no fear come over Your people.
Let them stand firm and square
and yell “NO MORE!”
May their enemies quake at their resolve!
Give Your children supernatural power
to rise, fight, and protect their homes
and one another.
Father, come quickly.
Please come quickly to our aide.
Surround our friends with our shields
those formed from our prayers
to protect their bodies, souls, and minds.
Let no weapon formed against them prosper.
May Your Vengeance be poured out
on the evil, the weak-minded, and the coward.
Root them out and reveal them and
their wicked ways!
You Will punish them with a fury
a mere mortal mind could never know.
Eternity is a long time.
May the taste of victory be sweet
and the sting of defeat bitter forever
that no one would dare rise against You
or Your Chosen again.
Unleash Your Fury, oh Glorious, Sovereign, and Just God
on those who seek to harm Your faithful children.
Make miraculous the battles ahead and
that satan be crushed under foot
and banished into the pits of hell forever.
In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
Love and solidarity to you, David.
Romans 8:28 All things work for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His Purpose

October Eye Candy
American friends, I can’t sugarcoat what’s going on. This is the “Pearl Harbor” of Israel. We have never seen anything like this. Over 100 bodies in their cars and homes and over 1000 injured. You see streets with bodies. There are also hostages including women and children taken to Gaza.
Israel is calling in the reserve forces and tens of thousands of soldiers are on the way. There is a strong possibility this will spread over to the North border too where Hezbollah has over 200,000 missiles and rockets.
Israel was going through a huge political and civil division. A few minutes ago the leader of the opposition stated that he is “willing to join an emergency government for the purpose of the upcoming extended war until we defeat the enemies.”
I am saving you the horrifying images of civilian bodies spread in the streets.
Thanks for your support!
God bless.
HANG ON, DAVID !!! ❤️
God is sending an Army of Warrior Angels to Israel to assist !!!
Please know God is in charge and He WILL see you through !!!
PRAYING UNCEASINGLY FOR ALL. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks. Looks more like a punishment. A few days ago the Yom Kippur prayer was violated in Tel Aviv by secular Jews and LGBTQ. The liberal Court decided to prohibit the traditional separation between men and women in public prayers in public spaces in Tel Aviv. The whole subject is under discussion at the Supreme Court. So from a religious perspective it could be a punishment. But I wouldn’t pretend to know the ways of God. This situation also brings unity to the people who were very divided.
Understand perfectly, David !!! BUT GOD !!!
He can foil their plans by raising up the most
unexpected warrior to fight the good fight !!!
Things are not always as they appear to be !!!
Protection for the righteous – Punishment for the wicked !!!
God will have the last word !!! This will NOT stand !!! ❤️
Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish year1. It is also known as the “Day of Atonement”1. It is not the day of justice and judgment, but rather the Day of Mercy2. God’s judgment can be overturned if we appease him with teshuvah, tefillah and tsedaqah: repentance, prayer and almsgiving2
GOD BE WITH YOU !!! ❤️❤️❤️
I often think what we are enduring here, while not as yet as terrible as this sudden war in Israel , is a punishment for this country having turned its face from God and embracing all which is blasphemous and immoral.
As you say, however, no one can know the truth of it or not….we watch with deep concern and prayer🙏🏻
We have made our peace with God by overturning Roe V Wade – AND
Israel will make her peace with God for this atrocity, too !!!
In his ABUNDANT MERCY – God will come to the aid of His People – AND
the VICTORY will be GLORIOUS !!! ❤️❤️❤️
ALL of the souls that have been lost have already been taken to Heaven
by the Angel Army – to suffer no longer – God will not be mocked – AND
He will NOT ABANDON ISRAEL in her hour of need !!!
OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD !!! ❤️❤️❤️
God does not have to do the punishing. When one chooses the course of evil and unrighteousness there are consequences set in motion the same way that the planets are set in motion – the laws of the universe. The choice is ours.
It is a beautiful and deeply moving experience to sit with the the women behind the curtain in the Shul and worship G-d and be one with the family of the community. So hard to imagine that Israel is fighting the same battles that we are here on many levels. The battle of darkness rages. The horror of this day is unimaginable. It triggers the fear that cannot be underestimated. My heart and prayers are for the people and country to vanquish the evil of the enemy.
Oh my dear Lord!!!!
I can’t help but feel the dirty fingerprints of the US administration’s Deep State are more than likely all over this, David.
Lord, have mercy🙏🏻
Suddenly it’s our fault?
Fault is not the word I would choose. And if I may say so a very poor amateurish attempt to bait.
When weakness is perceived the enemy will rush to fill the vacumn to exploit. This never would have happened under President Trumps watch. Peace through strength.
Deep State on this one? Yes. Israel has its own Deep state and its connected to yours.
This I know, my friend. Alas.
This is the “Pearl Harbor” of Israel.
Then the retribution should be the same. Until it is, Israel will never have peace.
And Americans should realize something their press will never tell them. Biden sends billions in cash to Iran and Iran is the primary funder of Hammas. Connect the dots.
Looks like our governments money supply going through Ukraine into the “deep pockets” is drying up.
So now there is a new conflict to provide money for the “deep pockets”.
Yes, and they know a huge segment of MAGA supports Israel.
In 20 minutes you can know as much about Sea Level Rise as you will ever need to know.
Why hasn’t Tuvalu been completely swallowed up by the ocean? Al Gore made $ Billions telling everyone Tuvalu would be long gone by now
DAY # 6 – MIDDAY PRAYER
Psalm 91. The most powerful prayer from the Bible. Pray it seven times. God’s protection, healing.
Update from Israel. The number of murdered is over 200. The injured over 1100. The number of kidnapped into Gaza is unknown but could be 30-100. Hard to tell. There was a huge nature festival in the area with hundreds of young people dancing. Many got murdered and some kidnapped. Hamas is also kidnapping bodies of children. Israel is calling in more reservists than I said perviously, hundreds of thousands. The main opposition parties are saying will join the coalition on an emergency basis until we defeat the Hamas. Israel shut off the power and internet in Gaza. We may just have to wipe off the Hamas once and for all even it will mean hundreds of casualties in urban war. There were hundreds of Hamas terrorists in Israel from the air sea and land. They burned civilian homes and killed families. There is a hostage situation with 50 hostages. There is no media to tell the outcome. There is a rumor that they captured an Israeli General. There is an image but I am not sure it’s really him.
This is going to be long and there is going to be a lot of liberal and Arab footage of the “poor Gazans.”
Israel will not have mercy this time.
Israelis are very sensitive to kidnapped people and this is very painful to all of us.
Remember the response of the US to Pearl Harbor. This is worse because most of the casualties are civilians.
God Bless.
David, thank you for updating us. We care greatly to know what is unfolding. Many here don’t trust our American, propoganda-driven media, so your on the ground, personal reports are a gift.
David stay safe, hold on. May Israel prevail quickly and decisively against these monstrous, horrific attacks.
Horrible!!!
For those who encourage war THIS is what it looks like..
I have seen the stripped dead body of a female member of the Israeli military being paraded around Gaza in the back of a truck. A mother holding her two young children, captured, Lord only knows where they’re being taken.
“O my God, make them like dust turning in the wind, like parts of the grass that have no worth and are blown away. As the fire that burns up the trees and spreads over the mountains, so go behind them with Your storm. Make them afraid of Your storm. Fill their faces with shame, so they will look to Your name, O Lord. Let them be ashamed and afraid forever. Let them be put to shame and lost. Then they may know that You alone, Whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.”
~Psalm 83:13-18~

Just read a tweet from Visegrád 24 who is reliable.
He says this young woman I mentioned is actually a German citizen…30-yr old Shani Louk, who was a tourist in Israel attending a festival.
For peace!
What say you, Germany??
So far I’ve seen nor read nothing…
Full sized Billboard seen in Georgia yesterday driving up I-75.
Jesuse Loves us all.
Even Democrats.
I am Israeli, Thank you for your support! It touched my heart. This is one of the worst days since the founding of Israel. The numbers keep rising. Now it’s about 300 murdered and 1600 injured 300 seriously. The worst is that there is an unknown number of kidnapped civilians and soldiers.
There are various numbers running on social media anywhere from 20 – 300. There is no sugarcoating it. It’s a Pearl Harbor level incident.
I personally watched footage of women and elderly bleeding and dragged into gaza. I was just crying after I watched a footage of a 5 year old child that looks like an angel taken to Gaza and abused by Gazan children. It brings back images of the Holocaust. I don’t know how to take footage from Social Media and post it here but it’s better not to watch anyways.
They managed to occupy about 7 towns for some time and go house to house and set fire and shoot at the families.
I saw a footage of terrorists holding a family hostages. I saw footage of terrorists shooting at a car with a family inside. I saw footage of a large nature festival with young men and women get attacked and some killed and some missing. The local police station in a border town was taken and there was heavy combat and about 20 police officers killed and 20 are missing. At some point one terrorist was still alive and the army simply took a huge bulldozer to cave the building on him. There are images of 40-70 terrorists tied up and stripped (they strip them to make sure no explosive belts). They managed to occupy the central command of the Gaza area and I saw a list of some very high officers who apparently died. This is not fully confirmed but it was published that a head of a Brigade is dead. There is a picture of a hostage taken and there is speculation if the guy is a certain General or not. If he is a General it would be a disaster by itself. He is as close to being the Chief of Staff as can be.
Israel is calling in the reserves and we are talking about more than tens of thousands. I see a lot of footage of tanks being mobilized to the south border. There are calls inside Israel to go all the way and collapse and defeat the Hamas. It is going to be complicated as they are holding the hostages inside their combat tunnels. The opposition of the government seem to agree to join an emergency coalition for the purpose of dealing with the disaster. If Hezbollah will join the war they have over 200,000 missiles aimed at Israel and many of the strategic locations like air force airports, electric plants etc…. If that happens Israel will have to damage Lebanons infrastructure badly.
Many fathers are now on the way to Gaza. I hear they are motivated but they don’t want an “operation” or another “round”. They want to eliminate Hamas and put an end to it. I am 59 years old so I can’t join or else I would.
The media is censored in Israel at war times. We don’t know how bad it is but we will know in a day or two. There are rumors of 600 murdered but I don’t know. Again thanks for your support and prayers. we need prayers for the murdered, the injured, the kidnapped, the families who lost their dears and the soldiers who are on the way into Gaza which is ready for them so it wont be a walk in the park.
God Bless.
🙏 🙏 🙏 😢
You have our prayers and petitions to God without asking, David. We all remember 9/11 so understand completely what you are saying.
If you have not, please go to the other Israel threads our Sundance and Menagerie have had up all day. We are all praying my friend for everyone.
I am glad Netanyahu has been directed by God to be the head of your country for this time. We know his fighters pedigree and that of the brother he lost.
God will give him the strength and the wisdom to deal with the savages which attacked, maimed, killed, and kidnapped so many.
Our hearts are broken with yours and your compatriots. Bless you for keeping us apprised. We need to know so that no one can deny the spiritual war is raging.
Try to get some rest, dear sir. We are always here for you and your beautiful country🙏🏻🕊😔
David….
Our prayers for you, your loved ones, and the entire state of Israel shall be unending!
It must be more than difficult for you to tell us these things – you’re having to relive them all over again. I am so grateful for your explanations showing us the different factions inside of Israel. Many of our readers view Israel as a “monolith” in belief and opinion.
You are a wonderful ambassador for your country! 🇮🇱 🇮🇱 🇮🇱
Hello to my 🌳🏠 family! Stopping by with a ‘friend’ that says…Happy Caturday 🤗😁

INTERESTING ANALYSIS
TV7 Israel News – “Sword of Iron”: Israel at War – UPDATE 07.10.23
Update: Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant (he was a well known Navy Seal in Israel): “Today we saw the face of evil. The Hamas started a vicious attack without distinguishing between women and children, elderly and adults. They will realize very quickly that they made a serious mistake. Hamas will pay the price. 15 years ago as the Commander of the South front I was close to breaking the neck of the Hamas and I was stopped by the Political level. This will not repeat itself. We will change the reality in Gaza 50 years forward. What was is not what will be. We will act will full power. I am asking the citizens to be patient and back up the IDF.”
He has a mission to finish and has been given a second chance. Godspeed, Mr Galant.
I see electricity has been cut off to Gaza.
And that the IDF has rescued 60 hostages.
All praise to Almighty God🙏🏻
True.
May God keep you and Israel safe throughout the night….
Amen to that
Good Night Psalms. Heavenly Father, as I lay down to rest, I find solace in Your presence.

American Friends, I wasn’t sure that I wanted to share this one but I think you should know what we are dealing with. I managed to copy it from social media and post it on YouTube for you. On the Social media thread many wondered if the hostage family survived and a soldier commented that they arrived to his base and they are well. Aside for their 18 old daughter who didn’t make it. I think it was the National Counter Terror unit that released them.
Heartbreaking and terrifying….. “Daddy, why are your hands so full of blood?”
Thank you so much for taking the time to upload this.
David, I would ask one thing, if possible, if not, no fret; there are many what we call ‘prayer warriors’ that I believe would appreciate something along these lines:
Is there a prayer that is traditional, or accepted by those of your faith that those of other faiths (am a practicing Christian) can use toward the blessing of the souls of those suddenly and violently departed from this life, that they find the Light and Love to guide their souls? Something that we can incorporate that the departed may find strength and guidance in their sudden journey so as to not be akin to a lost sheep on a mountain top with no direction but instead find an assist to be peacefully guided to their place of eternal joy?
(in my particular tradition I have one that is used for Christians, of course, invoking Jesus Christ, so am assuming your tradition has one that is acceptable without treading on your own traditions by a non Jewish offeror.)
Pray to our Righteous Father , the almighty Lord G-d.

Thank you for sharing, this is along the lines of what I was looking for, knowing that the more hearts and minds are focused upon similar thoughts and words, the greater impact.
