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 †

Before & after. Awesome.
Sometimes wherever you are you just have to lay your head down and nap💕
…therefore now we know the why of the early morning wake up call😉
(Greg??? Your friend wants you 💕)
Great put together story!
That’s sometimes the way I end up reading.
I posted this in the wrong thread earlier. It’s better for Open Thread….so….
We have a local Secret Santa program that helps people in great need and this is today’s video posted….

I’m on the verge of tears today anyway, Justice, as I contemplate our beloved vets from all the many years and wars and what they’ve sacrificed, especially as those in charge demand more of our blood and treasure…
This story has sent me for my tissues…thank you. There are good, generous people in this world. God bless them all🙏🏻🕊💕
Our many noble war veterans and the stories I am seeing posted today from Menagerie’s thread have helped me greatly today. Sometimes, a good cry is necessary.
Then, I just watched President Trump and he made laugh. Everybody should watch today’s speech. Lots of good highly detailed stories to hear.
I’m so thankful for you too, Betsy. We all look forward to everything you provide to help us along the way.
I read those stories too, dear sir. I think in great part that is why I am where I am. You are right of course. A good cry because of the weight we see others carrying. We wish we could help with it, but in the end there is our Lord and Saviour who bids us to let Him carry those loads, which He does. And places in our paths people such as in your faith affirming story which lets us know He works through others to help lessen the trials all of us go through.
I love President Trump. I hadn’t realized he was speaking, so thank you so much for alerting me. I’ll hope on over and give a listen!!
And thank you, dear Justice. You’ve given me such a gift with your kind words. It’s so easy for me because I love everyone here with my whole heart. And so I receive way way more from our family of beautiful souls than I could ever hope to give. You are one of the best, my friend…don’t you doubt it for one second!! All His blessings I wish for you, now and always 😘🕊 B

Just one more for our Caturday…but don’t hold me to it 😎
(couldn’t resist 😁)
And finally…if only wars were fought this way…
Now that is an absolute purr-fect depiction of a cat!
Saving the Scottish Wild Cat.

“Dr Helen Senn, Saving Wildcats Project Lead and RZSS Head of Science and Conservation Programmes, said, “It is still very early in the process but the first release of wildcats into Britain has been a success so far. Life in the wild is full of risks and while most of the released wildcats are currently doing well, we must remember that these are now wild animals that are likely to face significant challenges as we move into winter, with extreme weather and a decline in natural prey expected.””
TOMMY –
by Rudyard Kipling
I went into a public-‘ouse to get a pint o’ beer,
The publican ‘e up an’ sez, “We serve no red-coats here.”
The girls be’ind the bar they laughed an’ giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an’ to myself sez I:
O it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, go away”;
But it’s “Thank you, Mister Atkins”, when the band begins to play,
The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play,
O it’s “Thank you, Mister Atkins”, when the band begins to play.
I went into a theatre as sober as could be,
They gave a drunk civilian room, but ‘adn’t none for me;
They sent me to the gallery or round the music-‘alls,
But when it comes to fightin’, Lord! they’ll shove me in the stalls!
For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, wait outside”;
But it’s “Special train for Atkins” when the trooper’s on the tide,
The troopship’s on the tide, my boys, the troopship’s on the tide,
O it’s “Special train for Atkins” when the trooper’s on the tide.
Yes, makin’ mock o’ uniforms that guard you while you sleep
Is cheaper than them uniforms, an’ they’re starvation cheap;
An’ hustlin’ drunken soldiers when they’re goin’ large a bit
Is five times better business than paradin’ in full kit.
Then it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, ‘ow’s yer soul?”
But it’s “Thin red line of ‘eroes” when the drums begin to roll,
The drums begin to roll, my boys, the drums begin to roll,
O it’s “Thin red line of ‘eroes” when the drums begin to roll.
We aren’t no thin red ‘eroes, nor we aren’t no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An’ if sometimes our conduck isn’t all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don’t grow into plaster saints;
While it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Tommy, fall be’ind”,
But it’s “Please to walk in front, sir”, when there’s trouble in the wind,
There’s trouble in the wind, my boys, there’s trouble in the wind,
O it’s “Please to walk in front, sir”, when there’s trouble in the wind.
You talk o’ better food for us, an’ schools, an’ fires, an’ all:
We’ll wait for extry rations if you treat us rational.
Don’t mess about the cook-room slops, but prove it to our face
The Widow’s Uniform is not the soldier-man’s disgrace.
For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Chuck him out, the brute!”
But it’s “Saviour of ‘is country” when the guns begin to shoot;
An’ it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ anything you please;
An’ Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool — you bet that Tommy sees!
Just perfect! One of my favourites. Thank you!
May these subhuman barbarians pay for all the misery and pain they have caused.
“It’s been 35 days since Hamas barbarians stormed into southern Israel, slaughtered 1,400 Jews and took another 240 Jews hostage. The list of hostages includes babies, children, women, men, soldiers, and seniors.”
and those evil imbeciles in the White house, are ‘advising’ Israel.

This picture reminds me of the horrors of the Nazi camps.
EVENING REFLECTIONS
UNBELIEVABLE !!!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!
OMG that’s really funny…..
Some of the men I had the honor and privilege to serve with.
Bud Odom, my first Team Sergeant. The most knowledgeable soldier that I ever knew. Vietnam Veteran 173rd Abn. Went DELTA
Jim (Sly) Sylvester. Commo man extraordinaire. Sometimes pulled from those above for temporary assignment for field testing of new CW (Continuous Wave) systems and radio wave propagation experiments. Vietnam, two tours, 75th Rangers. My best friend on my first team. Also went DELTA.
Captain Elliot Lash. Team Leader. A tour as a Marine enlisted man in Vietnam. Came back, went to college and got a commission in the Army. In Lebanon when things got hot, some US embassy brainiac wanted us to clear the parameter around the American University in Beirut. DELTA had told us there were eight different hostile Muslim Militias surrounding the University compound. Captain Lash asked that bone heat “Are you prepared to take responsibility for committing US troops to open combat in Lebanon? Because if my men are fired upon, and they almost certainly will be, that is exactly what is going to happen.” The embassy jerk stuttered and stammered, and said, no! Eliot died when he flew his private aircraft into some high tension lines one stormy night.
Fred Philon. Also known as “Filthy Freddy”. Two tours Vietnam SF. Team sergeant, but also demolitions man extraordinaire. Grew up setting demolitions with his father. On an MTT we were training the troops using grenades from three different countries. Some of them were duds and we had to do our own ordinance disposal. When I jumped over the sandbag barrier to help MSG Philon pulled out his command voice and said “get your ass behind that barrier Doc and get your M-5 bag ready, because your the only medic here and your responsibility is to be ready to take care of the rest of us if something happens” It was a lesson I never forgot. One has to think about their responsibility and showing that your not afraid to do what others are doing can be in certain circumstances shirking your responsibility.
“Corky” Shelton. My last team sergeant. Master combat diver. Two tours Vietnam as SF, DSC (2nd highest medal for Valor). Did deep LRRP missions into Cambodia and other places well behind enemy lines. Contracted a parasitic liver fluk on one of those missions. It took them 6 months at Walter Reed to figure out what it was. At Desert One and would have gone into the city to try and rescue the hostages had not the accident that occurred at the airstrip terminating the mission. The lessons in leadership I learned from him are too many to list. Corky passed away a couple years ago.
MSG Tommy Grace. NCOIC SOMED (Longest phase of the three phases of SF and other special operators medical training where I was an instructor) and my immediate boss.
Tommy was at SOMED because as a medic on a team in Honduras a Honduran soldier out in the bush had been wounded. A bunch of officers want to go along for the ride on the Huey so the chopper was full. Tommy was seated in what we call the “hell hole’ which is a recess beside the transmission at the rear of the cargo area in a Huey. Bad weather and the chopper flew right into the side of a mountain. It his so hard the remains of the pilots were found in front of the chopper still in their seats. The rescuers that got there that night found Tommy when he moaned when one them stepped on him. He was the only one still alive. The cushion of the bodies of the men seated forward of him is what probably saved him.
Tommy arrested three times in the ambulance that was transporting him from the hospital to the Nightingale flight to bring him back to Brook Army medical center at Ft. Sam Houston. About every bone on his left side was broken. Pneumothorax left lung from rib puncture. Pelvic girdle broken in three places. he should not have survived.
Tommy was the most knowledgeable SF medic I ever knew. He rewarded me for my hard work as an instructor by getting me sent down to the Key West to the SF combat divers school for training as a certified Dive Tech even though I had not gone to the SF divers course.
During my last APRT (Army Physical Readiness Test) Tommy had finally been cleared of all of his physical profiles and restrictions and he outran me on the two mile run.
Just a few of the exceptional people I had the honor and privilege to serve with or under.
Amen.
Amen

Third warning. This is not just rain, it is a storm.

Biden seems to have no awareness of what’s going on.
Obama probably enjoys the lack of respect shown by having a dementia patient ‘taking part’ in a solemn ceremony honoring the Fallen.
He is probably behind it. Remember the, ‘all this for a damn flag?’ comment. (and some people say it was not the word ‘damn’ she used.)
Yep, you can bet the kenyan is laughing.
Hiding behind women and children, beheading little babies, burning innocent unarmed civilian women and children, committing other brutal atrocities. Taking children and and small toddlers as hostages. Hiding in a hospital, behind women and children.
What brave honorable warriors are these so-called ‘Palestinians.’ But they think their god will reward them for such admirable acts of savagery. If god made all people why would he want these mouth-breathers to kill so many of them? Is he indecisive? What kind of a god is that?

I am just sick about Douglass Mackey and I am seriously praying for him.
🤬 We have a crime family in the Whitehouse. Who in the Biden crime family is not receiving payments from foreign governments?
Yet, there sits Diaper in- Chief and his 50 something, balding, grey haired “little boy” with no criminal charges, no indictments, and no impeachment.
Back to my topic. Mackey is facing 10 years for mocking Hitlery Clinton. 10 years for a meme!
This monstrous insult to womanhood everywhere– cackled her big butt off over snuffing Gaddafi. She whined about not being able to send a missile into the embassy and take out Julian Assange. She apparently ripped off everything not nailed down when Bill exited the Whitehouse. I won’t even belabor her evil ripoff of Haiti. Yes, the notorious Bleachbit B_ _ ch!
Yet, let an individual make what was an obvious joke about one of the most despicable women to ever waddle into politics — and he could serve more time than someone who committed first degree murder!
Pray for him folks! The Bride of Satan is breathing down his neck. 🧛♀️
As far as I am concerned Douglas Mackey is a warrior fighting evil (Psalm 109) and he is facing ten years in prison for the effort!
