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 🙂
Good morning Jay! 🤗 I see breakfast is ready…and so am I! Great start to the morning before I head to work! Thank you! 😉😁💝
Moghrey Mie , my pleasure 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Morning, sis!! 💕 I think we can officially call Mr jay an absolute treasure 😁 Hope your day goes smoothly and without a hitch…
Good morning, Jay 1776,
Blessings on you this morning and for the nice setting. Over vacation, I felt very emboldened and made homemade eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce. I had this amazing leftover ham to use and happened to have english muffins, too. They were soooo good.
Do you realize that hollandaise requires 1 cup of butter for 4 small servings!!!! Whoa. Despite the lemon, I also add a bit of mustard in mine to give it a little more zing. The whisking took forever. A lost art.
If anyone has a Metro Diner close by – their San Francisco Eggs Benedict is a yum-fest. They add tomato and avocado. Yummmmm – so hungry.
Time for my Cream of Wheat and hot coffee.
Morning, Woo!! 😘 ADORE eggs benedict! And if I do say so myself so make a casa a faaaabulous hollandaise sauce 😎! I add a dash of cayenne to mine.
In my glory days long past I would grill a steak on the Weber (to perfection) and serve broiled tomatoes, and broccoli with that golden sauce. The combination couldn’t be beaten.
My children always asked if we were having “tree” for dinner.
Ahhhh…and another mental cocktail enjoyed on this cold winter morning 😌💕
(We often have cream of wheat for supper with brown sugar and unwhipped whipping cream…or as it is called in Blighty, heavy cream. Yum!)
Afternoon, Besty Beasty Betsy!
Cayenne sounds fab! I love little kicks added. I do sprinkle a bit of smoked paprika on top also. I’ll have to try it with Cayenne sometime – but it is so rich – I simply just don’t make it often – once in a blue moon. So much expensive butter!!!
Cream of Wheat doesn’t get the credit it deserves. I love it with whole milk and I let it brown on the bottom and create that yummy crust. Daughter hasn’t developed an appreciation for it, yet, so it’s really just me that enjoys it.
Alas, I did not have that for breakfast because it escaped my mind that I took leftover Jasmine Rice from last night’s dinner and made an old-fashioned Rice Pudding last night, so it would not go to waste. A bit sweet, but delicious for breakfast.
I was weird last night and made a Cherry Pineapple Chutney and baked it atop Cod Filets. It was pretty good for this goofy foodie girl. Served it with Jasmine Rice, Garlic Green Beans, and Fresh Pineapple.
Here’s the weird concoction:
1/3 cup of cherry preserves
dozen or so frozen tart cherries cut into quarters
tablespoon or two of chopped fresh pineapple
dash course black pepper
teaspoon of honey
teaspoon of soy sauce
tablespoon of dijon mustard
Cook fish about 4 minutes from done – add chutney and bake under broiler heat for about 4 minutes until chutney is bubbly and fish flakes when forked.
I love swapping recipes – if it wasn’t so obvious. LOL
Pretty obvious all right, WooHoo!! 😂 I’ve always thought that the…THE!!!!…magic ingredient found in all lovers of cooking is…wait for it (drum roll please)…
AN APPRECIATIVE EATER!!!!
Someone who appreciates the efforts, the results, and tells the one who poured her (or his) heart and soul into presenting something that one can never get enough of.
On another note…you’ll remember this lass I think…I’ve decided to be this wee bairn this year. Maybe not the jewelry, but the attitude. I’ve gotten to that point 😎😘
Wish I had an “appreciative eater” – she’s spoiled and used to it. It’s the only reason I can’t wait for her to grow up, so she can learn herself the efforts made. Hopefully, she’ll pass on the care and concern to her loved ones – or earn enough to make good reservations!
Sending two to university and the wider world this year . First time apart in their lives, the twins.
No mother with them to prepare their meals. Gave them both some quick, cheap recipes last night. They’ll work it out.
I hope (crossed fingers)…
Afternoon, dear ‘Woo. 🙂 Yum!!!
Afternoon, Garrison!
“come on to mah house, come on to myyyy house”
Yer’ on! Pulling up outside at the moment . . . 🙂
Soups always on!!!
Funny story – back in my days prior to being a parent, I would always have friends randomly dropping by around dinner time. They always knew I would be cooking and I always cooked enough to feed others or have leftovers. They would just pop in for dinner and ask “What are we having?”
It was the best of times. I loved it. I miss it a lot.
Howdy sounds very tasty 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
It was good – but sooooo rich and expensive. Wow. New respect for restaurateurs who serve it every day.
There’s probably comes in a #10 can 😁
Just ewwww…. what do you think they use for the “butter” – polymer resin with yellow #0580 dye?
I’ll take butter with a side of butter for $500, Alex.
To be honest I know what they use I used to deliver an egg product to Greg’s golden soft the nastiest margarine in the world and you wouldn’t want to look at it and you didn’t want to smell it but it’s in it😂😂
Ewwwwwwww
Food should never be derived in a chemistry lab
Good morning, Mr jay, King in the Kitchen and the Master of Gracious Hospitality 😘 There is no one like you, dear sir…
(Looks as if I’ve found what I’m looking for this morning 😎👍🏻…and then some!!)
This morning I had the dogs out, brought in wood and started a fire in the insert, and made coffee before Sherry got up.
You really are a sweetheart, rah. I know she appreciates you,.my friend….so do we! 🤗💕
#relationshipgoals
You’re a good egg, Rah
Thanks. Been out helping Steve with the cabin since 11:00
Wish you could post PICS!! That sounds like an amazing project. I want to live there!

Many thanks for that restorative pot of tea, Miss P💕
How I got my Wednesday started…a nice cuppa will be a welcome change.
Oh…and this to all our friends!! Before too much of the year starts to fly by 😎😘
Guess I better get on that resolution list; and mean it (this time).
None for me, girl…like saying one is going on a diet (a horrid four letter word), for me making resolutions is setting oneself up for failure…ask me how I know 😉😎
😂 😂 😂 !!!

Howdy Patience 🇺🇸😁🇺🇸
Thank you jay 1776
My pleasure 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
I loved the musical choices you made today… thank you
Good morning, benzy 😘 Mr jay has delivered the full package…good music, an excellent repast. Both so much better with friends..blessed he your day 🤗
A little bit of songs to give time to reflect 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
It is working: thanks.
Thank you, Jay. Beautiful way to start the day. Great songs and great singers. Have a happy, healthy New Year.
I did listen to them about one this am, but didn’t get to give a reply til now. Busy day today.
My favorite hymn as a kid was (In my heart there rings a melody) always had me feeling great 🇺🇸😁🇺🇸
A great book of a powerful intercessor, ‘Rees Howells, Intercessor’! A treasured story of his journey of instruction and obedience by the Holy Spirit that prepared him for the deepest prayer to change the outcome and win a war. 🙏
A most timely and apposite devotional today as we scan the horizon and see reprobate minds in positions of power on this earth.
The volume is a bit low on this video. You might want to turn your system volume up a bit.
Howdy Garrison 🙂
Mornin’ jay. Hope you have a great day, my friend . . .
Morning, Garrison 🤗💕 Cold, damp from the all day rain yesterday, coffee and this to get my day started. NIIIIICE 😍🌟
Afternoon, Bet. Cold morning, warm bed, nothing pressing to do except 11am lunch with neighbor friends at a restaurant across the street.
With nothing much planned, except lunch and then P/T later, I decided I could get up late . . . so I did. The extra 2 hours were most welcome.
This morning equates perfectly with my estimation of morning bliss. I’m always reminded of morning in my Grandma’s drafty old house. I loved snuggling down under a stack of warm covers . . . and being able to see my breath in the cold bedroom.
I was, of course, also watched over by Little’Tink, my ever loyal little—formally feral—kitty.
Late morning Bustelo coffee tastes every bit as good as early morning Bustelo coffee. ‘Tink now sits next to me in the kitchen while I have my morning coffee. It took her 4 years to decide she’s now a “cat”.
She’s now begun experimenting with being a morning lap kitty. Her transformation over the past few months from being a feral kitty to a “cat” is remarkable. She loves sitting in my lap now so I can rub her chin. Good kitty. .
Oh sweet, sweet girl 😌 💕 She knew what you needed and has supplied. As for your memory…
It has been a season of memories for me, a retrospective trawl through my “mind palace” room by room. And your delicious memory has opened another door for me.
My oldest is 6 months old again, and I am snuggled as you were this morning, upstairs in a converted open bedroom attic. I’d taken my early riser first daughter downstairs to sit with her grandmother whilst I caught a few extra winks…though in fact I was lying there, listening to my beloved mother in law while she made breakfast, chatting away to my child…who was sitting in what was called a car bed conversing in her own unintelligible language, waving a whisk her grandmother had given her to make her happy.
I remember well saying to myself, “Make those memories, because nothing remains the same.”
I “recorded” those happy sounds and stored them. Because indeed nothing did say the same. I’m so glad I did… 💕
🙂

Afternoon, dear Patience 🙂 Hope you are well.
Thank you, my man Garrison.
Been a bit on vacation from myself; but am well over all.
The original World War Redit
The Duel
Eugene Field
1850 –
1895
The gingham dog and the calico cat
Side by side on the table sat;
‘T was half-past twelve, and (what do you think!)
Nor one nor t’ other had slept a wink!
The old Dutch clock and the Chinese plate
Appeared to know as sure as fate
There was going to be a terrible spat.
(I was n’t there; I simply state
What was told to me by the Chinese plate!)
The gingham dog went “Bow-wow-wow!”
And the calico cat replied “Mee-ow!”
The air was littered, an hour or so,
With bits of gingham and calico,
While the old Dutch clock in the chimney-place
Up with its hands before its face,
For it always dreaded a family row!
(Now mind: I’m only telling you
What the old Dutch clock declares is true!)
The Chinese plate looked very blue,
And wailed, “Oh, dear! what shall we do!”
But the gingham dog and the calico cat
Wallowed this way and tumbled that,
Employing every tooth and claw
In the awfullest way you ever saw—
And, oh! how the gingham and calico flew!
(Don’t fancy I exaggerate—
I got my news from the Chinese plate!)
Next morning, where the two had sat
They found no trace of dog or cat;
And some folks think unto this day
That burglars stole that pair away!
But the truth about the cat and pup
Is this: they ate each other up!
Now what do you really think of that!
(The old Dutch clock it told me so,
And that is how I came to know.)
This poem is in the public domain.
That old Dutch clock seems mighty suspicious. 🕰️
I don’t see the mention of God in this poem, but lately I’ve been seeing His fingerprints in many places.
For example, by chance my wife and I just came across a true story on DVD starring Mel Gibson and Sean Penn : The Professor and the Madman. Never heard of it, but I now don’t think I will ever forget it either. (don’t have a link….worth looking up.)
Also, last night watched an interview between Greg Hunter and Catherine Austin Fitts.
https://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2023/12/greg-hunter-catherine-austin-fitts-pushback-to-tyranny-control-increases-in-2024-must-video-3681802.html
Amazing man and woman.
Times of extreme chaos and confusion ahead. Critical quote by Catherine in this interview:
“The currency of the future will be relationships of trust.”
We had better get, keep, and perform the counsel of God (Carefully consider Psalms 107 and Isaiah 9.6)
Professor and the Madman Looks interesting;
<IMDB trailer>
<amazon prime page>
I always look for mention of God, too. even in casual conversation. thanks for the mel gibson mention.
Catherine Austin Fitts, a brilliant mind. She has been an absolute mine of information. Smart, forward looking, eloquent, and resolute. Any interview with her is worth whatever time it takes to listen.
As for God’s fingerprints? I do the same, look for them everywhere. And I am finding them! He is moving..make no mistake 🙏🏻
Oh, Dave! How I remember this one from my long ago childhood 😌 How it powered my imagination. I’m pretty certain the little book it was in had a wonderful illustration, the side dish to the main course. And all of a sudden I am remembering…what a gift!
Thank you for this, my friend 🤗
Dear Aunt Bet AND Read the Book,
Thank you both for your considered response. Read the Book reminded me of the importance of God in all things, and that set my head to spinning. Then Bet’s response reminded me that God is in all things; I can’t put him where he already resides.
In God’s time, I am not a loving Grendfather (kids call me “Book”).
In God’s time I am a child, a parent, a teacher, a grandparent. A custodian of God’s most precious gift, Jesus Christ, Emmanuel.
And here you are, Dave, with your lovely reply reminding me I had this. I can’t think of a better place to put it. In fact it is just perfect. I believe many which I save and post do not cross my path by serendipity.
As now…😘
Of all that you could have been, how blessed are you to have every one of your callings on your resumé 😌💕
Oh my
My reaction, too…
1/3/2024 – The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD
Proverbs 20:27 “The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.”
1 Corinthians 2:10-16 “To us however God revealed [them] by His Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. Who truly then of men knows the things of man, if not the spirit of man which is in him? Thus also the things of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God. Now we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things granted to us *by (under subjection to the authority of) God. Which also we speak, not in the words taught of human wisdom, but in [those] taught of the Holy Spirit, by spiritual [means] communicating spiritual things. But natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for to him they are foolishness, and he cannot he know [them], because spiritually they are discerned: but the spiritual discerns indeed all things, he however by no one is discerned. Who truly then did know the mind of the LORD, [that] He may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”
The Christian faith is based on facts done, as borne witness to by God; because of which faith, God deems it righteous to count it to us for righteousness. It is a fact done, that man is made in the image and likeness of God. It is a fact done, that God breathed into man’s nostrils of His own Spirit of life, and thereby made him a living soul. It is a fact of how we are created in the image of God, and made a living soul by His Spirit, that it is in our constitution, to know and understand God, and to reflect His nature and character.
The way we understand it from the Scriptures; there was something very terrible happened when our first parents sinned, that had greatly marred that image and likeness of God. However it is hard to separate and distinguish a lot of what has been damaged, and what has been left in tact; in large part because of the “natural” mind of this world, that is alienated from the Spirit and life of God.
Not that we no longer have the capacity, or spiritual faculties; but the condition of our inborn nature, that is estranged, tortured, and abused; taking away from how the LORD originally formed it in us; by the wicked influences of the traditions and rudiments of the world, and the deceits of the devil; the word of God finding entrance into man’s heart is MADE exceeding rare. For as the Lord illustrated in many examples; only in the case of a good and honest heart can the seed go down deep enough to take root and sprout and grow to what its intended to be. Every other way, which is resisted and opposed and contradicted by man, fails of its purpose. And the very fact that even one can go right, shows that all are capable, if they would.
“The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.” The spirit of man, the heart, the conscience, the secret place of the most High; here are made the thoughts and intents of the heart, and the imaginations of the heart: these all denote, “the inward parts of the belly;” where and how the LORD searches diligently till He finds, His lost sheep, His lost coin, His lost son.
The Spirit of Truth comes to us, even while we are yet in darkness, in the dungeon of our sins and alienated minds from God; and shines Light upon us, and upon our circumstances; exposing not only the outward conditions, of the shackles holding our bodies in sins; but also upon the cruel bondage of deception, working in the thoughts and intents of the heart; laying all naked and open to view.
But even in this, is the Lord very pitiful and gentle with us, so as not to reveal to us more than we could bear; but as it were, enough to convict us of our need, and allow us to take a decision, either for or against Him; providing space for repentance as our choice, to either do right and be blessed, or else let the sin which is lying at the door to usurp power over our will, and deceive us into turning away from God. So then, in “all the inward parts of the belly,” which the Spirit of God through our spirit searches; is where one man goes the way of Cain, but another follows after a good conscience with God as did Abel.
We may get some indication of what is in a man, by the things he says and does; and we can understand what is at the root of his decisions and course in life, as they reflect what’s in his heart on the subject of our Lord Jesus Christ coming and dying on the cross for our sins; by the fruit of their lives. This is what the LORD was talking about, when He told the serpent, that He will put enmity between him (the devil) and the woman (the elect), and between his seed (the ungodly) and her Seed (Christ); that the ungodly will bruise His heel, but Christ would bruise his head; meaning, breaking the power of sin and the devil over man. (Genesis 3:15) And this is what was immediately manifested when Cain and Abel came to present (give account of) themselves before the LORD, and bring their respective offerings; the entire ground of acceptance being the faith and the gospel of Christ.
To Abel and his offering, God had respect; for together with his presenting himself before the LORD, he brought a token for a Memorial, and instituted the sacrifice as a type of the LORD’s Anointed sacrificing Himself to save the world; for which he was counted righteous and blessed.
To Cain and his offering however, the LORD had not respect; and so the fruit which he produced, likewise reflected the choices he took against God, and against His Anointed. First, he rejected the counsel of the LORD to do what he knew was right, that he might be blessed, and that the sin which was lying in wait to ensnare his soul, he could maintain dominion over. Instead, he chose to harden himself in pride, and the delusion that he could be and do whatever he thought without God; and went out immediately to look for his good brother Abel to kill him.
Next, Cain let himself feel no guilt or remorse or responsibility for his brother at all; and had no interest in repentance, but took instead to disown his brother whom he had murdered. And when he heard God’s judgment, he could only think of how his punishment was more than he could bear, and left him nowhere to go to be free from it. And even when God hearkened to Cain, and granted that He alone would take vengeance on him; he simply departed from the Presence of the LORD, and took his wife to go dwell in the land of Nod.
The results of what started out in his heart against Christ, and broke out in the murder of his brother; produced a race of antichrist heathen and ungodly, who were the first builders of cities, and the fathers and inventors of all art and science and industry; whose single ideology was for making a permanent habitation for themselves in this world without God. Adding to this, they and their world-view became the temptation and causes of sin, which effected the apostasy of the children of God; drawing them away from their former convictions and loyalties to God, and the faith of Christ; to turn away in their hearts, and become calloused to the strivings of the Spirit; choosing instead to take their portion in this life; till all flesh had corrupt God’s way upon the earth, and the world was filled with violence.
This “fork in the road” which every man has to decide, which way he will go; is the place where the LORD uses our spirit to see, whether we will take the path of the good and honest heart like Abel, toward the LORD, and accounting of ourselves entirely on His appointed means of salvation, Jesus; or if we will go the opposite direction, in pride and willful delusion, away from Christ and all knowledge of God.
Now the fruit which Abel produced, in his work of faith; was in a sense the first example of Christ, given for a sign to all who should come after. The grain of wheat which falling into the ground died, his fruit is still being produced unto this day; in that the things which he saw by faith from a very far away distance, are the very things which Paul is here explaining; the things kept secret from the foundation of the world, and only revealed to God’s good and faithful believers.
This Gospel of Christ, in all its power being wrought in us today; are the things which Abel saw afar off and believed in; and for whose sake he became the first witness of Christ to suffer at the hand of a son of the devil. The reason for the enmity and persecution he endured, was because of his response to the Spirit of God, using his spirit to search all the inward parts of his belly. The entrance of His words gave Abel light; and he welcomed that Light, as that which manifested his works, if they were wrought in God; which also meant his acceptance and respect with God.
Now we, like Abel; our oldest brother in the Lord, next to the Lord Himself of course; do experience today the fulfillment of what he was told by the Spirit of Prophecy from his parents. His heart was open to God searching his innermost thoughts and intents of heart; for which he was given eyes to see those things still a great way off. And with the sight he received, he set his affections completely upon those things; accepting that the purpose and justness of God’s verdict, that we should bear the punishment of this time of probation in the world. For he knew that it was only a holding area for God’s children, until His Redemption was completely accomplished.
Proverbs 20:27 “The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly.”
1 Corinthians 2:10-16 “To us however God revealed [them] by His Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. Who truly then of men knows the things of man, if not the spirit of man which is in him? Thus also the things of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God. Now we received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things granted to us *by (under subjection to the authority of) God. Which also we speak, not in the words taught of human wisdom, but in [those] taught of the Holy Spirit, by spiritual [means] communicating spiritual things. But natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God; for to him they are foolishness, and he cannot he know [them], because spiritually they are discerned: but the spiritual discerns indeed all things, he however by no one is discerned. Who truly then did know the mind of the LORD, He may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.”

Josiah Wedgwood
(1730-1795)
English pottery designer and manufacturer (Wedgwood), dies at 64
Biography: Josiah Wedgwood was born into a family of potters, but in an awful irony couldn’t work a potters’ wheel himself after a bout with smallpox left one of his legs badly damaged. After his brother refused to make him a partner he set out on his own and established his own pottery in Stoke-on-Trent in 1769.
As he wasn’t a potter, Wedgwood was able to focus on design. He researched and introduced many new innovative types of pottery including his creamware, black basaltes, and jasperware, the later in new colors including his company’s signature blue known to the world today as ‘wedgwood blue’.
Wedgwood supported the abolition of slavery and in 1787 his firm designed a famous medallion depicting a bound black slave that was mass-produced and donated to the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade.
Wedgwood was also famous for his sales and marketing, using such familiar modern day techniques as money-back guarantees, illustrated catalogues, buy one get one free, and celebrity endorsements, selling to Queen Charlotte and Catherine the Great. He was elected to the Royal Society in 1783 and died in 1795. He is also the grandfather of naturalist Charles Darwin.

Walter Cunningham, American astronaut (Apollo 7), dies at 90 from complications after a fall
<1:45 oral history by Walter Cunningham>
How about this WEIRD bit of trivia !?
Remember Kim Darby (born Deborah Zerby) who played Mattie Ross in the 1969 film True Grit with John Wayne?
While her parents were performing at The Carousel Club in Dallas, Texas, young Deborah Zerby was babysat by the owner of the club, Jack Ruby, who would become infamous in 1963 for killing Lee Harvey Oswald.
She survived Jack Ruby as her babysitter …
Dodge did miracles. Sherman’s march on Atlanta may not have been successful without him.
He even had blacksmiths forging the tools needed for
Putting in the tracks when none were available.
God’s foreshadowing has a sense of humor.
Discover California, die of gangrene, and disappear in infamy.
What a shame he did not turn left instead of right (when he left Spain)
The national monument to him at the tip of Point Loma in San Diego is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. On one side there is the skyline of San Diego and the harbor and on the other is a glorious vista of the Pacific Ocean. This would be one of the few places I would return to if I visit California again.
Tineye has never seen this photo, did you take it yourself or via a friend?
Looks kinda familiar but might be a little to steep for around these parts.
hi magic
no, not mine …

Thanks, Within 150 miles anyway, as I said… looked familiar.
Sigh – makes me miss the backroads of California, Annie. Thanks for the memories. Listening to “Ventura Highway” by America in my mind.

it may be to late ⏰ for you to see this, but hello ♥️
i posted ventura highway about a month ago, and it’s hung around in my mind …
it means more to me now, .. in these times..
I saw your message… hurray!!!!! I feel I miss so many messages sometimes and it hurts to think that any would feel ignored by me. I’m only online sporadically and many times just by luck or Divine Appointment I get to see sweet messages like yours.
Hello, sweet Annie!
Agree with you. I love the America’s Greatest Hits album so much. Back when songs told really good stories. The mountains of California were my home in my youthful days in the early 90’s. Left there – eight blessed years in Texas – then back to California (hell-A) because apparently I didn’t learn my lesson the first time! Ha ha… don’t ever say you’ll never do something – it’ll happen!
I was a road warrior in my youth. Long commutes – sales – big territories and I got to spend long lengths of time in my car driving. I enjoy it very much and I think my daughter finds me weird for how many songs I know memorized word for word. (plus I was a singer back in the wee early days of high school – so music was always a way for me to communicate feelings and emotions)
I saw a lot of God and His Creation on those drives. The music brings back the scenery.
It makes me mourn to see such beautiful, God-created country ruined by government malfeasance. Mourn.
Dog catches fish for owner
Assassinated at Beirut Lebanon:
Saleh al-Arouri : Deputy Political Leader of Hamas and one of the Founders of its military wing. Also was lately over West Bank operations.
Additionally a Commander over Hamas operations in Lebanon and another one who was over Intental Security of Hamas in the West Bank. Plus a few associates. Overall 7 killed by a drone strike.
It looks like they were planing some terror for the West Bank.
High tension and anticipation to see if Hezbullah will get into a full war because the assassination happened in their neighborhood.
Here is the best footage of the attack.
Lebanese Officials Had Requested Arrest of Hamas Leader Killed in Strike: Report
He was Hezbollah and Hamas’s direct link to Iran

Bible in One Year:
Genesis 8-11
Recently the IDF moved the Givati Brigade to Khan Yunis in South Gaza. They are considered some of the best Infantry that we have.
I mentioned many times that when this city falls, Hamas falls. Since they arrived they killed many terrorist.
The following video shows intense fights from yesterday. The red outline shape on the floor is a body of a terrorist. It’s not graphic, blurred .
They tell us what they intend to do. We just need to listen. This is Al-Arouri who was just assassinated. You can see from the interview how Hamas messed up when didn’t coordinate with Hezbollah. Now not much is left of Hamas. It’s a different equation.

CLOUDS AND DARKNESS
“Clouds and darkness are round about Him.” Psalm xcvii. 2
A man who has not been born of the Spirit of God will tell you that the teachings of Jesus are simple. But when you are baptized with the Holy Ghost, you find “clouds and darkness are round about Him.” When we come into close contact with the teachings of Jesus Christ we have our first insight into this aspect of things. The only possibility of understanding the teaching of Jesus is by the light of the Spirit of God on the inside. If we have never had the experience of taking our commonplace religious shoes off our commonplace religious feet, and getting rid of all the undue familiarity with which we approach God, it is questionable whether we have ever stood in His presence. The people who are flippant and familiar are those who have never yet been introduced to Jesus Christ. After the amazing delight and liberty of realizing what Jesus Christ DOES, comes the impenetrable darkness of realizing Who He IS.
Jesus said: “The words that I speak unto you,” not the words I have spoken, “they are spirit, and they are life.” The Bible has been so many words to us – clouds and darkness – then all of a sudden the words become spirit and life because Jesus re-speaks them to us in a particular condition. That is the way God speaks to us, not by visions and dreams, but by words. When a man gets to God it is by the most simple way of words.
Oswald Chambers
January 3rd Devotional
John 14:21-23 “He that has My commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves Me: and he that loves Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him. Judas says to Him, (not Iscariot,) Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world? Jesus answered and said to him, If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.”
John 14:26 “But the Comforter (Paraclete; One called in to help), which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
John 16:13 “Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will show you things to come.”
1 John 2:27 “But the anointing which you have received of Him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in Him.”
I like the way he put it, “The people who are flippant and familiar are those who have never yet been introduced to Jesus Christ.” Whenever I hear such kind of irreverence and cool talk coming from either pastors or Christians themselves, I have the same strong feeling, that This person doesn’t even know the Lord; and definitely does not fear God, if he thinks he can be so “common-place” talking about Him.
I believe; and it has been my experience, that as we follow on to know the Lord; as we walk in obedience to the light He has given us; then He will give more light, and our knowing Him will also grow deeper. It has to do, I think, with learning how to walk before Him with a perfect heart; upright in our integrity, and avoiding evil. There’s so much that needs constant attention, and always old things that haunt our memory, from which we are still dealing with to be healed of. I know the Lord has forgiven me, and has truly set me free from all the power of sin; but there still remains much work in being transformed by the renewing of my mind through the Spirit. This I believe, is what David referred to in Psalm 5, when he talks about “the LORD hearing his voice every morning; and his prayer (literally, setting in order his account) before God; because the LORD is not a God that takes pleasure in wickedness; and no evil shall dwell in His Presence.” (paraphrased) In other words, coming to the Light of His word and His Spirit in our prayers, for the very purpose of examining ourselves and judging ourselves, our thoughts and intents, and the root causes of past sins, AND lingering tendencies; that nothing be hidden or overlooked and not taken care of before we come to meet Him face to face.
Thank you Stevie, for the very heart searching and thought provoking post.
John 8:12. (This is the Wycliff translation, but here there is little variation between translations.)
Therefore again Jesus spake to them, and said [saying], I am the light of the world; he that followeth me, walketh not in darknesses, but shall have the light of life.

…”We are deeply concerned at any potential for escalation that could have devastating consequences for people on both sides of the Blue Line,” United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon spokeswoman Kandice Ardiel told Lebanese state-run National News Agency on Wednesday.
Similarly, French President Emmanuel Macron told former Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz that it was “essential to avoid any escalatory attitude, particularly in Lebanon,” according to a readout of a call on Tuesday provided by French officials. Lebanese Foreign Minister Abdallah Bou Habib told the BBC that government officials are urging Hezbollah not to respond to Arouri’s killing…

Good morning all.
Real winter is coming. For those along the east coast it will start this weekend. And the NE is in for a good storm.
There are three of these storms lined up. Good chance for hurricane force winds along the coast.
January the 11th.
Is the day real winter is going to start hitting the lower 48. The NE gets a storm this weekend to kick things off but the Arctic air is going to flood into the heartland penetrating deep into the south and then expand eastward.
Many of us are going to see zero or subzero temperatures while even down to the Gulf coast places will have temps 30 deg. below normal.
The last week of January we’ll see a bit of a warm up most likely. Then the 2nd week of Feb the Arctic air is likely to invade again. The stratospheric warming over the Arctic that will cause the 2nd wave is starting now, just as the stratospheric warming that set up for this months coming Arctic invasion started at the very end of November.
Over all this is looking like it will be the coldest winter we in the states bordering the lakes and those to the south and east of us have seen in many years. Perhaps even since 78-79. Would not be surprised at all if at some point 46 or more states have snow on the ground at the same time.
What is your source for this info?
Weatherbell. I am a subscribing member. Both Joe De’Aleo and Joe Bastardi have been watching what is coming since the Fall. Now the weather models are catching up and starting to confirm their forecasts for the first wave.
Here is a taste of what the models are showing for snow in the current area of concern. First the European and below the U.S. model projections:
Understand this is not accumulation. There will be periods of rain that wash some of the snow away out east.
But but we were promised Catostropic Mann Made Global Warming – you spoil sport.
Ha! Europe is getting their share of Arctic air also. I hope they enjoy their EVs and heat pumps.
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2024/01/03/sweden-records-coldest-january-evening-in-25-years/
Earlier this winter when the first Arctic wave hit Europe, Moscow reported a low of -52 F and also had the highest 24 hour snowfall since records began.
thanx, rah. need to know.
Oh my word, I wish this would be a more “welcome” message, Rob. Extreme cold makes my joints ache. is there such a thing as a jacket water heater for a human? I guess my stainless-steel insulated tumbler of coffee will have to do.
I hate to sully this board with what is a complaint – maybe I am yearning more for expedient justice?
Epstein list coming out – well, haven’t most of these nefarious people on “the list” already been revealed. The Clintons must be close to death if this is coming out now. No time for real persecution or prosecution, because they’ll die of old age before ever being “caught”.
Is delayed retribution (if retribution comes at all) a remedy for corruption, or an encouragement? Organized crime isn’t scared of lagging justice. Only swift justice will do!!! Grrrr.
Bet you won’t find Obamas or Gruesome on these lists.
Hillary has been acting like she may try again. So out comes her (and her husbands) frequent flyer status on the Lolita Express.
And since they want to destroy RFK Jr. If his name were there, it would destroy him and his Children’s Health Defense. But I doubt that it is there. We would have heard about it already.

It’s three days into 2024 and I’ve been unable to say “Happy New Year.”
Happiness comes from pleasant happenings – which are far and few between for many.
However, God promises us “joy” in Christ – not happiness.
Spiritual joy is hard to define.
It comes from fellowship with God, given by His Holy Spirit.
Joy is a deep, abiding confidence in God’s Providential care for those who love Him.
I pray your hearts and minds will be saturated with His joy this year!
May God bless you all – drawing you close to Himself and ministering to every need.
(Jesus)
And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.”
Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
Revelation 21:5
(ESV)
Good morning, dear Della ( whom I’ve missed and who has been very much on my mind 🙏🏻 💕 ) Your heart speaks to mine, beautiful soul. I wish for all a peaceful new year, keeping in mind always our eternal home is not here in this world which seems to have abandoned our Creator, even and especially in His own houses. Happiness is quixotic and impermanent, as I told my oldest. Better to grow every day in the knowledge of Christ our Redeemer and seek to serve Him wherever He has planted each of us. Our one unchanging Hope. May we all draw nearer to Him and He to us we pray
🙏🏻
Bless you, Betsy, and may God be gracious to you!
Yes, so thankful we’re pilgrims here, just passing through …
Trying to take as many possible with me, too!
🙏🏻🥰
Howdy Della-ma’am!
I understand where you are coming from in such uncertainty. Didn’t help to have meeting with boss yesterday and him to be all “it’s gonna be a hard year. Gonna be uncomfortable. Not gonna like it.” Ugggh… give me one more reason not to stay, why don’t ya! Then, conversely he jumps on “I’m excited about the changes”…. yeah… I’m convinced!
It’s like carrying a dead body in war from battlefield to battlefield – pretty useless.
However, I am hanging my hat on GOD’S HOPE that HE gives us every day. I’ve been sure enjoying listening to the Julie Green podcast on prophecy. If anything, she is encouraging as all get out! She’s a realist for sure… and we are not going to like what we see or experience (we don’t like it now)…. but our stability and strength isn’t vested on what is seen and experienced… it is Hebrews 11:1 “faith is to be sure of what is hoped for in the presence of the unseen” (not a word for word quote – just my memory of it and its context).
Della, girl, I have to just DISMISS all the evil. DISMISS, deny, and replace with HIM, HIM, HIM – HE Is Who I am focusing on fully and still occasionally I am weeping and mourning over conditions outside of my control and feeling trapped by them. I certainly didn’t come so far and work so hard raising my daughter to have our entire lives and futures turned upside down.
But it is not my will to be done – rather our Father’s.
Incidentally – her father’s company was just taken over by Pfizer. Makes sense that our devil is now owned lock, stock, and barrel by the devil. Still praying over his deliverance from evil and a return to care and protection of my precious daughter’s heart.
That said, our circumstances… yours and mine… could be a LOT WORSE. I cringe at the thought.
Love you, sweet friend! Many blessings and HAPPY AND HOPE-FILLED NEW YEAR!
Woo, so grateful God has given you His wisdom and insight for living …
You and your daughter will prosper, under His tender care.
I love you, too, Woo, sister in Christ.
🙏🏻🥰
Della,
It didn’t come without skid marks and suffering… and daily it is a recalibration event to set myself of right mind. For sure.
Just hoping the devil’s pitching arm is getting tired. Geesh.
Yes, I understand. I have those marks, too.
You are right – each new day is a choice to think Christian-ly.
After all, we’ve been given the mind of Christ!
What a gift…
Sorry to be bearer of bad news – but the devil will fight till our last breath.
He’s probably just getting fired up.
😡
You’re not the bearer of bad news, friend… the bearer of bad news is the prince of the air of this world.
he’s extra special screechy because his time is short… those loud squeaky wheels are grating.
I get to the point that his attacks are so frequent; they are predictable. I’m over it. It helps when one has little left to lose. they can take everything I own and those who I love, but they will never take my salvation and station in Jesus Christ.
he (satan) will do his best at being his worst – but it will never be good enough to win. he’s defeated again and again and he’s a pitiful disgusting creature. his is a place of dishonor and eternal damnation.
Come, Lord Jesus, come!
Goodnight, sweet friend. So happy to “see” you today. Blessings on you and your home.
🥰
Verse of the Day for Wednesday, January 3, 2024
✟
“Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.”
Romans 12:14 (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.
⚔️🙏💕

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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT
You awaken in the morning – Praise God
You put the coffee on to perk – Thank God
You wash your face and brush your teeth
Make breakfast pet the cat down beneath
You are Precious in His Sight
You have food – You are blessed
Bacon sausage eggs the best
Pancakes syrup and sweets galore
Hash browns and fruit and so much more
You are Precious in His Sight
A nice hot shower or warm bath
Fresh clean clothes you do hath
A prayer here and a prayer there
Oh, give Him praise everywhere
You are Precious in His Sight
Wonder if prayers are responded
If something is mis corresponded
Maybe the answer is just hold on
Or not good for you now or beyond
You are Precious in His Sight
Sometimes it is hard to trust the unseen
So on your own understanding you lean
Just acknowledge Him in all of your ways
To Him give all Honor Glory and Praise
Because…You are Precious in His Sight
