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 †

Still need a moisture barrier and intended to use 6 mil thick Visqueen.
May I recommend using a much heavier “Visqueen” … 10 mil. It costs more … but you’re protecting that finish flooring. And tape all the joints. https://www.whitecap.com/p/husky-10-mil-20-x-100-black-poly-16624/cf1020b/4321020b
Not going to use it at all in the sunroom. Using a product made specifically for the purpose having a much higher insulation value among other advantages,
Better building through better technology
In the living room I’ll put the 6 mil plastic right
On the old oak floor. Then screw down the 1/4” thick luan subfloor. Then use the same stuff used in the sunroom before laying the vinyl planks.
33 deg raining with gusts up to 24 mph here at my Indiana home.
So wet, so rainy… but I am delighted with this over ice any day!
3 mil contractors garbage bags sure come in good use over an ortho boot. Lol
How’s Nikki doing? Still praying for her, friend.
Hanging in there. Has now gained enough weight to qualify for admission into any of several clinical trial programs at Mayo.
That is such good news, Rob. What a fighter, she is! Grateful for her and your granddaughter.
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!! ❤️❤️❤️

Verse of the Day for Sunday, January 28, 2024
✟
“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Hebrews 11:6 (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
TIME AFTER TIME
When all seems lost notice what happens next
God suddenly halts it at its apex
God said for us He will make an escape
Just as He promised in His Word takes shape
He will never abandon or leave us alone
To face problems without solution shown
When we put our trust completely in Him
The problem will no longer seem so grim
We might find answers thru advice of friends
Or maybe thru our thinking God will cleanse
Clarify and correct less the emotion
To help us strive and stop the commotion
Some days are plagued with sorrow and pain
We simply must manage stay safe and sane
One mishap after another to knock us down
Somehow we remain afloat and not drown
It is easy to see when we have faith
Just as in His Word He simply saith
For without faith we sure cannot please God
Cause faith is the substance of hope unflawed
When you lean not on your own understanding
You’ll see His power exert expanding
Acknowledging Him brings Him close at hand
His knowledge and wisdom at our command
Time after time God has proven His love
Definitively infinitely from above
Remember He resides inside of you
To assist abet with all that you do

Mornin’ all!
Oh Lord have mercy!
The locusts are most assuredly not welcome!
It’s the killer bees they warned about!
Is that where Indiana thinks it’s going to find its $100M in qualified workforce for our participation in the global economy?
What makes them think if they ignore the laws of immigration, they’ll obey the laws of commerce?
Good Sunday to you JWoo.

Oh what a beautiful story. For all dog lovers, this will tug your heart.

My eyes are leaking….a beautiful little story! Thank you for sharing….!
One of my fellow competitors has a 3 legged border collie (cancer)…he runs agility better than some with four legs!
I have agility dogs….I had to send my best boy, (not a champion but my hero rescued from certain death…) to the bridge, two years ago in April…..the day before…he could hardly get up but when he saw me run his baby brother thru the weave poles in the yard…he struggled and struggled to get up and then he walked thru all 12 perfectly and looked at me when done as if to say….’see I can still do it for you’….
They have fun…and the canine is ever so eager to please…
Nikki Haley, a woman with no principles whatsoever.. ugh!

” I’ve always said I trust the American people. They know how to make good decisions and So I think that they’re going to see this for what it is…( they sure will,
unlike the moronic so-called jury.)
“They see that he’s completely distracted. (No, he is calm and doing rallies. OBiden is the distracted one.) They see that he’s going on these ‘rans about’ ? (Illiterate)how he’s the victim, (he is! many times over, and by backstabbers like you,) and I think that’s exactly what we don’t need a strong leader to be.” (What? a fighter against evil?)
So you know, these court cases will keep happening one by one. ( Nikki’s new owners told her.) We’ll keep seeing him in a courtroom ( a kangaroo court.. a farce) and we’ll see him come out and do a press conference and that’s not what a president should be. ( What isn’t? a accused person proclaiming his innocence against false accusations? ) That’s not what we want Russia to see. That’s not what we want China to see and not what we want Iran to see.” ( Who is ‘we’ the W.E.F. ?)
Despite your, and your ilk’s best efforts to destroy him, he grows stronger, and more admired, and missed, everyday. People call out to him that he is ‘loved’. You have failed miserably.

“The Chinese are increasingly angry with Iran. Reuters has reported that Chinese officials have asked Iran “to rein in attacks on ships in the Red Sea by the Iran-backed Houthis, or risk harming business relations with Beijing.”
“The Iranians, who energized the Houthis to carry out attacks on Red Sea shipping, have to a degree cut off their nose to spite their face. They have been behaving in a more ruthless manner in the region, sponsoring the Hamas war, promoting Hezbollah, putting Revolutionary Guard personnel in Iraq and Syria, supplying almost all the weapons for these forces, and basically running the Middle East because Washington no longer cares, except to pretend it is a great power and to issue (pronouncements) which it has has no intention of enforcing. “
ROFL. Is that the best they can drum up? Biden ‘won’ the last one by hiding in the basement and boasting in-your-face fraud. He was barely sentient then. Soon they probably will be reducing his medication, as his usefulness is over.
” President Joe Biden’s campaign is trying to organize a first-of-its-kind fundraiser that officials hope would be lucrative and headline-grabbing, but also energizing for Democratic voters who so far have not shown enthusiasm for the party’s 2024 ticket, according to four people familiar with the planning.
The idea is for three Democratic presidents — Biden, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama — to appear together at a fundraiser this spring…”

…Put a cork in it. Give something to Bibi to work with…
Ironically, I was going to talk about Red-winged Blackbirds and I saw a handful of them today mixed in with some detested Cowbirds & Starlings.
Only 3 birds have ever divebombed me, Mockingbirds many times, a Screech Owl once (I felt very lucky/blessed) and for a few years in my old yard a Red-winged Blackbird.
Red-winged Blackbirds primary habitat is wetlands/near water ponds,lakes,marshes, rivers etc. When their numbers are abundant, they have to stake out breeding territories in secondary habitat, like the large White Pine that was adjacent to the rear of my father’s beloved garden that was in the backyard. For around 3 Springs, a male Red-wing had my yard as its breeding territory and the white pine was where the nest was, so if my poor father or myself went back their he divebombed to drive us away. It was a truly spectacular event & sight to see this beauty which I greatly admired, not so much my father who liked Birds, but was more into playing around in his prized Garden where he grew vegetables that went right to our table (Italian String beans were incredible).
After those three years, he & his mate never showed up again. This was a reflection of the abundance of that species then, but not now. At one time they were one of the most common birds in North America.
Their being a habitat specialist, and dependent on small farms/fields/wetlands for breeding, their numbers shrunk as the federal government tax grabbed many multi generation family farms (Gordon Kahl) and destroyed wetlands for “progress’. Sadly I hardly ever see them in their secondary habitat, (fields,small farms, my white pine tree etc) and now only in their primary habitat and their gigantic flocks are not seen as much.
So when I was a kid Common Grackles who are habitat generalists were much less common than the abundant Red-wing, and now the situation has done a complete reversal. Red-wings are much more graceful and their Kon-ke-ree song not heard nearly as well.
I was ecstatic when 1 male was attempted to set up a breeding territory in a large fenced in retention basin area in front of a Home depot on the way to work because I really do not see them anymore.
Good stories!
I promise I will not scare away the r-w blacks anymore 🙁
LOL I am glad you enjoyed them friend. It was a special for JWoo, but of course for all here. I have had a special fondness for those beauties since those days. I would always hear & see them when fishing since they love water. Kon-ka-ree is their song and one of the easiest bird calls to master imo.
Cheers!
The starlings……I’m sure all birds have their purpose but I equate them with the lowly vulture in their habits. I’ve been dive bombed by an owl on two separate occasions. The owls are brave and superb flyers. I have also had several night time flybys which is reaally startling when they occur because you cannot hear them coming.
These svelte little mini falcons (kestrels) are everywhere lately. They are usually spotted on electrical power lines employing low energy hunting from a high perch. So colorful!
(photo credit Cynthia Kidwell)
Oh BTW the mating pair of bluebirds successfully raised two hatches in the canopy/roll bar of my tractor this year that was initially discussed this past Spring
Wow, that would be scary to have a night time fly by!
Oh they weren’t aiming at me, but it will wake you up. What’s really scary is almost walking into a skunk in the dark because the little guys think you’re being aggressive when you’re only being clumsy and operating more blindly than they. Close encounters of the olfactory kind.
There are few creatures to fear with four legs or wings in North America……there are many 2 legged predators to watch for.
What a gorgeous bird!
Kestrels beautiful falcons. I occasionally see them in the farm fields on my trip to work.
Ty for your post and be well Monti
Be well Colkitto
Wow! What a pic. What kind of Kestrel is that?
The closest thing we have are white tailed kites. Called kites, because they literally hover in one spot in the sky … flapping their wings while looking for rodents running in the grasslands below.
Yes, Colkitto, our Red Wings are found at our favorite walking spot… a beautiful park in West Carmel, Indiana with a lily pad-filled pond. They balance like pros in the reeds and call to one another. Both red and white stripe wings. Only occasionally do we catch them in the farmland here.
Love them so much. Lovely story, friend.
The red wings as Colkitto mentioned are great companions when fishing. I dearly wish I could return to those carefree dawns on the river while fishing beaver ponds in the high country of Colorado. Seems a lifetime and a great distance away at this point.
There is a great beauty in the high up mountains, a majestic harmony, a peace that you can meld with.
Sounds almost like Medwyn’s Valley in Pyrdain. Wish I could see them friend
That sounds like a Tri-Colored Blackbird. Your lucky I have never seen one.
I’ve always wanted a real pond since I was a kid. I have to settle for a Koi pond with a waterfall which does attract the birds as I planned. Oh well. Life is a river and you never know what it will bring.
Always a pleasure Jwoo.

Ok , I’ve never written on this thread before but today I feel I have to –
3 years ago today , Jan 28 , 2021 , my youthful looking wife of 49 plus years , died at the age of 72 from an aggressive form of Acute Myeloid Leukemia after a “short clinical course” of about 90 days
Fortunately she was able to see our daughter’s first grandchild born in August , 2020 , a little boy , and was able to enjoy him for a couple of happy months before she received the fatal diagnosis in November .
My daughter has several pictures of her holding the baby and tell’s her son , now 3 , that GG is heaven . I was over there today to spend the day and my daughter told me that , her son , on his own , after talking about GG being in heaven the other day , said he would get a rope and pull her back down for us
From the mouths of babes …
Blessings come in many ways and blessings shared are encouragement for us all. Thank you for sharing and aren’t grand kids great Nycjoe!
That blessings come along with sorrow is the bittersweet that is life.
Condolences for your loss. May you and your family receive Our Lords Blessings in this time of trial. Be well, friend.
A bittersweet story, Joe. Thank you for sharing!
Sincere condolences for the loss of your lifelong mate. My wonderful sister in law also succumbed to a virulent short-duration cancer a few short years back.. But she and your wife both were able to see and hold their grandchildren before departing.
And there is hope that your grandson will eventually “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18) and understand where GG is resting.
Sorry for your loss. Yet 49 years? That alone is worth celebrating. Good on your little grandson for inviting GG to the party!
Deepest sympathies to you all, Joe. I know your heart is broken and your life has turned inside out. It’s a blessing that your wife and little grandson could be together, although briefly. May God continue to strengthen and comfort you and your family.
“ The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.”

As predicted … a fantastic, competitive game. But TBH … Brock Purdy just has the “it” factor. Even when the throws aren’t there to make … he used his legs at crucial times. Ironically, earlier in the broadcast … the mental midgets in the booth were mocking Purdy’s “inability to run” … but ONLY to be a good scrambler in the pocket. IDIOTS.
I feel sad for Goff and The Lions … because if they had won, I would have tipped my MAGA cap, and said “congratulations”! Hell of a game.
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
