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 †

Rio?
yes ? 👀
…… good morning ♥️
Mornin! I am wired in a good way tonight, I might actually get some work done on my “book” about the Medical Marijuana Cartel.
Most nights/early mornings my back is too bothersome to write several pages and be able to achieve my “flow state” when the words and thought streams come easy.
I got a fair amount of stuff done today despite my lack of restful sleep last night.
that’s really awesome to hear ♥️
Beautiful annie…..Absolutely Beautiful !!
good morning ed ♥️
The Catholic Catechism:
# 1996 – Our justification comes from the grace of God. Grace is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life.
#1987 – The grace of the Holy Spirit has the power to justify us, that is, to cleanse us from our sins and to communicate to us “the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ” and through Baptism …
Faith:
#154 – Believing is possible only by grace and the interior helps of the Holy Spirit. But it is no less true that believing is an authentically human act. Trusting in God and cleaving to the truths he has revealed is contrary neither to human freedom nor to human reason.
162 – Faith is an entirely free gift that God makes to man. We can >>>lose this priceless gift, as St. Paul indicated to St. Timothy: “Wage the good warfare, holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting conscience, certain persons have made shipwreck of their faith.

Charles H Spurgeon was a Calvinist Protestant. … Free will is part of the teaching of the Catholic Church. … God gave us shepherds to help us read the Bible.

So much excellent journalism and commentary here at the Treehouse. It should be part of curricula.
Our lion:
“Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.” – I Corinthians 1:26-30

morning garrison ♥️
Mornin’ dear annie . . . 🙂
Thanks, Garrison. And thanks for the Berta Rojas from yesterday’s offering. I play La Catedral only, of Barrios, but have resolved to learn another or two before I die. So many wonderful lyrical pieces. I love South American guitar (my favorite of all time – Villa Lobos).
Wishing you a relaxed, peaceful day with the right elements so that you could spend some enjoyable time playing your beloved instrument – the guitar.
Thanks for the kind words. La Catedral is a favorite. 🙂
Morning, Garrison 💕☕ When all is upheaval, what a gift to have the stillness and beauty you bring each day with these performances. Hugs for little Tink….take a few for yourself please🤗🕊

Bets,
I am admittedly biased, but………the best maple syrup is found at little farm stands in Vermont: the kind we visited when visiting Grandma. My cousin sends me some every year – brings back such nostalgic wonderful Old memories. ❤️
Betsy don’t mess around!

Good Monday, Annie.
Patience,
This photo is mesmerizing! Our eldest grandson was married close to that location – sans cougar!
Sans cougar?
Well, now wait a minute…..
Is his wife older than him?!?
😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂 😃 😀
Good one Greg!
😃Saw an opportunity.
Even if she’s ONE MINUTE older, your grandson has bragging rights.
Dad was a bit over a month younger than Mom.
Dad and I were working in the yard when I was about 15. A sweet little old lady was visiting with Mom and asked if those were her boys working in the yard.
Dad got MILEAGE out of that!
For YEEEARRrrrrs……
Ha ha, Greg. Ima bit older than Lloyd, as was my mother older than Dad. Cougars Rule!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!
Back to merit based reality
Great song….Thank you, Sir !!
Good morning
Good morning Monti !!
Good morning, Monti!
Good morning GrandpaM
God morning, Treepers,
Saw this posted on yesterday’s thread and gave it a listen. Whoa… on so many levels. Resharing, as this message needs to move forward
Prophecy is real and alive and this is proof of it. This was posted MARCH 14, 2024… and it foretold the assassination attempt on Trump’s life.
I encourage all to listen to these fascinating accounts and prepare accordingly. The part about the green horseman.. gave me chills for obvious reasons.
@Aggiegirl, I did see your message from about 730 pm yesterday, but not until really late. As this video discusses, maybe it is time to move past “oh wow” and start doing some recording. Look for affirmations and confirmations. The prophets here mention keeping journals by your bedside.
I have journals on my writing desk, but not next to me at night… and since my night and days are split now… this is something I’ll need to practice.
It is not for each of us to fully understand why we receive Words from God through the Holy Spirit, only to be obedient to the message therein… knowing, in time, we will either share them with others… or have a notable reaction to an event.
The prophets are the watchers on the fence. The heralds and the advance parties. It is God’s Gift of preparation.
Please… take time to watch. Even if you don’t believe in this now… the time will come when this will be meaningful to you and those you love and steward over. You don’t have to understand everything… the Clarity will come.
Peace and love, dear friends. I wonder when we will sleep again?
mornin’ woo ♥️
❤️ blessed morning, Annie
Morning JWoo, And thank you for the link, and am glad you saw my post… insomnia now due to thunder storms, the dogs are restless…I imagine you will see them, the storms, in a few hours. Lots of rain and thunder bumpers
I like the idea of doing the journals…have wanted to also go back in time and record the many miracles that I have had bestowed on me…I will put both on paper…
Am going to watch the link later…am going to try to sleep. Again what was disturbing, the clear thought about danger on Saturday…and I pooh poohed it because “nothing has happened” other than once before. Thinking the SS would be adequate given Trump is also a former POTUS and entitled to it…then….some one else posted something which got me thinking about the “temps” on his detail because the first and second “ladies” were also in PA (talk about a smack in the face) at what, the same time??? Causing a change in Trump’s detail and since he is not even official yet, made him low man on the totem pole for weekend detail.
Obviously, there needs to be big changes in how they measure “Risk versus Threat” determinations for when planning Trump events. And again…Mrs. Trump was almost widowed and Barron almost, fatherless. My dad always had an issue with JFK and that event…because of the two small children left fatherless.
Oh well, good night for now…
Aggie,
I’m still awake too. Apparently sleeping is “optional” now???? Really??? Thought it was bad when kiddo was an overproductive infant who only needed four hours of sleep and I dragged my wagon for days. Guess that was just “conditioning” for the future ahead!
I’m sorry for the forboding feeling you had. It is disconcerting. Sounds like God Was directing you where to target your prayers.. and how thankful we are for The Lord’s Shielding. It is shocking how close we came to losing Trump.
However, God Has said that we will not be able to help but know that it is Him… and only HIM… Who Saves. He Is going to be very OBVIOUS to us. It was only Divine Intervention… and can be attributed to nothing else.
How many came to know The Lord as their personal Savior through this moment? Trump is a living testimony to God’s Provision and Goodness.
Hallelujah!
I am praying now for Trump’s hearing… and thinking of Jesus healing the Roman soldier’s ear.
Praying for the attendees, the life lost, and the lives forever changed.
I’m praying for our country as fewer and fewer can stay asleep to the crime ravaging within. The organized crime syndicate has made themselves too obvious and now it’s up to us to learn just how far down the food chain this goes.
Welp. Just got weather alerts so it is out to move the plants to prevent them from becoming projectiles.
Is it just me… or have the storms been much more… angry?
We here in N Indiana are just getting what we missed in the Spring.
This rain is trying to kill our potted Hyssop. I keep having to turn the third cut barrel to drain since there are no drainage holes. Ugh.
On the I-80 corridor, just west of the IN border…we are having heavy rainstorms, very warm temps and storms with lots of wind…for us, its more than usual…
Projectile plants…..
Could be worse.
Are they cactuseseses?!?
Snapdragons, Nasturiums are secured to the shepherd’s hooks (but suffering from a terrible black bug infestation – sprayed them – now put Diatomaceous Earth on them – to hopefully get the suckers off of them, tomato, Japanese and Jalapeno peppers, and some spearmint, thyme, and rosemary herbs.) My location gets lots of high wind – nothing to block it, so it’s move low to the ground anytime weather kicks up.
That’s a lotta stuff!
Most of it would be welcomed if I was on the receiving end of the wind……but not cactuseseses! (Think Mathew Perry and his cactus experience in Fool’s Rush In!)
I am unfamiliar with Japanese peppers. Based on your cooking descriptions I gotta go with “they are good”.
I used to work in a steak house when I was a kid in college. I’d roll a handful of jalapeños in flour and deep fry them a few minutes and eat them like candy all night.
Good stuff.
At the time, it never occurred to me that I was using the same flour for battering fish……
We sold a lot of fish, who knows, maybe the jalapeño juice was the “secret sauce” in the fish batter?
Ha ha!!! Jalapeno fish – the “secret” ingredient. You left, and suddenly their fish sales dropped!
Japanese peppers – were a fun little plant we picked up at the local nursery. Think the greenhouse peppers (red, yellow, orange dipping pepppers) in the store. Very mild. Thinner skin. Good. We like to try new things.
You would like Escabeche, Greg1. Well, this is a variation of it. You can add carrots, cauliflower, jalapenos, etc… I use carrots and fresh jalapenos.
3/4 apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup water
3 tblsp sugar
1 tblsp kosher salt
1 clove garlic (optional)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
10 large jalapeno peppers – cut the top off – scoop out the seeds, and cut into 1/4 inch rings (use plastic bags or gloves to cover your fingers while removing seeds – or you will be very unhappy later!)
4 large carrots – peeled and cut into 1/4 inch chips
Zest of one lime
dash of bold and spicy BBQ dry rub seasoning
Combine water, vinegar, sugar, salt, garlic, oregano, lime, garlic in a saucepan over high heat. Bring mixture to boil. Stir in jalapeno peppers and carrots and remove from heat. Let mixture cool about 10 minutes. Pack into mason jars, cover with vinegar brine, and refrigerate. Serve cold with tortilla chips or your favorite tacos. Yummmmo.
If you try to pressure cook these, they get too mushy. I like these crispy. I would not process more than 5 minutes – but I have NOT mastered this technique yet.
Oh yeah, that sounds good!
Sorry about the late response!
Great reminder of “Jesus healing the Roman soldier’s ear.”
Gifted little remembering Bible chapters, books, sentences. Bible stories I remember.
Bible stories rich vectors in sharing God’s Word.
“And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.” Luke 22: 50-51
The story of Haman & Mordecai shared the most. Haman, an evil plotter built gallows for Mordecai. God made sure the story ended with Haman hung with his own gallows. Mordecai untouched.
“Immediately the king sent and gave orders to hang Haman and his sons upon the gallows. The king said to Haman: “Get up, take Haman your enemy and the enemy of all the Jews, and garrote him and hang him on the gallows which he himself set up, and I hope you will torture him as severely as you can.”
Haman’s Disgrace

Good morning, dear Sis, Poyeema,
The Righteous and Brave Esther. Thank goodness for the Bible stories that we can easily recall. Verse and passage comes in time – usually with great use – over and over again.
Love and hugs.
Mornin’ Woo and Aggie
Insomniacs are some of the nicest people in the world. Ask me how I know: any time, day or night!
Not bad, not bad….actually a good and true line. And you’ve got options!
I’mma gonna give you, outta the *GOODNESS* of my heart……a line.
Make yer statement and if applies to you, follow it up with “if you don’t believe me just ask me!”.
Almost always gets a grin outta people.
.
.
.
……..if you don’t believe me just ask me!
Too funny! I love it! I am grinning…
Ha ha, Corny…
Any time day or night – we can just convene at the little local tea tavern known as the Treehouse.
Yes!❤️
Hello…am here and then gone…and then back…When one works days, you ask what time it is…when you work nights, you ask what day it is….I am good for Monday…as I went to church yesterday so that helps the memory….
Aggie
Every little hint helps! Being on call also messes with your mind. Going to work in the dark, coming home in the dark, and being in an OR with no windows is quite disorienting. Even retired, all my timepieces are on military/medical time. It’s just more precise.
That makes so much sense, Corny. I may have to switch to military time.
I think I said a prayer for Trump, earlier that day or maybe on Friday…Hmmm….
Ephesians 6:11, the time of the shots fired…6:11…and the Roman’s ear…I had forgotten that…
I am so worn out…it is so easy to get wrapped up in the armchair quarterback role….
I so hope that will be the last of it…am looking forward to his speech.
Aggiegirl,
Those numerical affirmations matter. I believe there is a difference between being an armchair quarterback and a WITNESS to events. I’ve decided to forego the public shaming and the labeling as a “nut job” and go full bore John the Baptist (to the exclusion of eating locusts) and shout from the roof tops:
“Prepare the way! Prepare the way! For the coming of our Lord!”
I am getting super comfortable being the chicken in the hen house squawking because there is a wolf outside!!! If it saves even one life. If it awakens even one person. Then so be it. I can take the criticism and I would rather walk alone with God than in an exulting parade of non-believers.
There is not a person in our sphere who doesn’t know exactly where I stand and it’s given me privy to things I would never have thought I would witness in my lifetime.
All who decide to watch or listen to the video, a serious point to make. The Words within may seem confusing and, quite frankly, scary. In my prayer time this morning, I mentioned to God that it “makes it hard to plan a future” and He immediately placed in my mind the following:
“What plans?”
“For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
Hence the Scripture I posted above. God does the planning. We do the obeying and abiding.
FEAR NOT. For He Is with us until the end of time. He upholds us with His Righteous Right Hand and we take shelter under His Protective Wings. We belong to Him and our destinies are already written in His Book of Life for those who believe and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
We have God our Glorious Engineer and Facilitator
Christ our Defense and Absolution
The Holy Spirit as our Counselor and Communicator
God’s Angels our Protectors
Psalm 34:7
The Angel of The Lord encamps round about them that fear Him and delivers them.

Very inneresting

Good day, Woo💕
p.s.
I like to think of green as hope
Good day, dear Patience and Ma!!!
This “green” is a different kind of green and it isn’t the goodly kind. Well maybe it could be, if for no other reason than the shepherding in of our Lord and Savior.
It’s definitely a PREPARATION video.
Comforting bible verses…!
A somewhat irreverent saying….Man makes plans and God laughs….
A line from a favorite hymn…”He will bear you up on angel’s wings lest you cast your foot against a stone…”
or “life is what happens while you are off… making plans”
It’s a reminder to lift our eyes up to the sky and keep watching for HIM. He’s coming! He gave us His Word as a road map – and every letter of The Word is coming to fruition – just like He Said it would.
@Aggiegirl – when the Sycamore leaves start to leaf out… (spring time) Very near to you. Maybe a small exodus out of the area during that time for your safety and your loved ones. (We are not far from you.)
Not sure if it’s on US media.
I picked up the shooter before shooting on Israeli Social media.
YouTube is messing with my content and deleted what I posted yesterday related to the Trump rally shooting . Will see about this one.
https://youtube.com/shorts/7pfwetDZvDk?si=QwQe87geiWYOZjOc
Yes David, we have examples of that. Sad my friend. Easily prevented, possibly malicious and intentional lapse in security.
Stay Strong my friend.
🇺🇸❤️🇮🇱 David: I did see this still photo Sundance presented, which could have come from the video you are showing here:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/07/14/assassin-identified-as-thomas-matthew-crooks-20-year-old-from-bethel-park-pennsylvania/
Thank you for taking your precious time in the midst of the War Israel is fighting on 7 fronts to assist us here.
We are blessed to have you as such a good friend of the USA.
🙏❤️🇮🇱 God Bless you and all of Israel.
Amen
💪😃🇮🇱🇺🇸 Shalom to all Israelis. 🇺🇸🇮🇱🎶🙏
😅🤔😅 David: Speaking of mainstream media (or legacy media same thing), I saved this from awhile back.
I think you’ll appreciate it, too:
https://x.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/1776334401233637578
Thanks.
Appreciated.
Thank you. It is an important video. When possible “look, don’t listen”.
David: I just turned the sound off and I noticed more that way.
I’m not sure what you want me to see.
I saw the uniformed officer walking near the building.
And, of course, I saw the people trying to notify the officer of the perp on the building
What did you see that you want to point out to us?
I am not trying to show anything specific. The video shows a time lapse in which the shooter could have been stopped. The whole thing requires an investigation of the protection people. There is some basic negligence. Trump is one of the most threatened people in the world and securing roofs is very basic.
A top Israeli protection expert who used to protect Prime Ministers also said that the Secret Service stood him up back to the line of fire too fast before it was 100% sure that there is no second shooter or other threat. Should have been on the ground some 10 min before confirming that no other threats exist. He said it’s a basic too.
David: I agree with you 100%. The people investigating will be the same people responsible for this imo.
Securing roofs is USUALLY done.
There have been several interviews of a few people, 2 of them who each saw this from OUTSIDE the perimeter and waved at security personnel who seemed like from their viewing angle they could not see the perp.
Another interview was with a guy who said he’d been at the Butler PA MAGA rally a few years ago with his daughter in a similar venue where there were lots of rooftops (airport hangar) and they both remarked to each other a few times back then about how many SNIPERS were on all the rooftops there.
So, the thing this guy noticed THIS time was the ABSENCE of snipers on most of the various rooftops.
I think most of us on CTH and beyond know in our hearts that this was an OBiden attack.
One excuse that was used this past weekend was that Jill Biden and KH (in 2 separate locations) were campaigning for Biden and their need for the BEST trained Security people (Secret Service) at their respective events took priority over PDJT.
Those of us 70 years old or over remember JFK, RFK, MLK assassinations and the LACK of transparency in the investigations (since they were VERY
likely “inside jobs” as we say).
I am very grateful that you are pointing to this video for us.
I agree that if it were a fair investigation that it would be a very important video.
Melania does read here on CTH (Sundance has told us), so hopefully she will show this video to PDJT.
A lot of comments here and on XTwitter have mentioned that PDJT should hire PRIVATE Security.
I don’t know if he is allowed to as a candidate now.
But I recall him having to let his Private Security go after he was elected in 2016 (I think that’s the law).
And this point you made above is important (I remember thinking this too)!
A top Israeli protection expert (who used to protect Prime Ministers) also said that the Secret Service stood him up back to the line of fire too fast before it was 100% sure that there was no second shooter or other threat.
Should have been on the ground some 10 minutes before confirming that no other threats exist. He said it’s a basic, too.
I agree. But they can’t hide the obvious. Most of it was on main media, I assume this video made it too and the testimonials. They will not found compromised people but negligence is too obvious.
🙏 David: I truly pray that you are correct.
I admire so much how thoroughly and honestly Israel does its investigations.
We are hearing that this detail was not a usual SS detail (they were from another govt dept.) and probably not familiar with protocols (am guessing on that)…
David: Here’s Citizen Free Press XTwitter link to this same IMPORTANT video:
https://x.com/CitizenFreePres/status/1812847506180489350
and he has a link on his web site to it under the title of:
New video shows … Crooks crawling into position as [PDJT] is speaking
Heavenly Father, thank you for taking that shell shock off of myself and the other Treehousers after we witnessed your Glory when you saved our Lion from the schemes of the enemy.
Please blind them that wish to harm your Vessel of Change and his family in the future and thank you for the reprieve of my back issues, in Jesus Name Amen
Amen

Amen
Amen!
The lyrics suck but like the music
One of their few mellow tunes. Love it !!
good morning monticello ♥️
Good morning Annie
Nice
it’s from the 2020 album power up .. angus said the album is a tribute to malcolm (2017)
back in black was a tribute to bon scott ..
and i’m finding it very very hard to believe, that 7 years has passed … since Sundance made a post about malcolm passing away ..
tick tock tick …….
We’re coming for ya.
Excellent
Good morning, Monticello,
Found some feathers of an adolescent one of these at the cemetery Kiddo has been practice driving in. Pulled over and collected them. I’ll have to ask her the type again. Adolescent male 8″ tail feathers. Looks like it was in a fight from the fragments we found. Likely guarding a nest.
Beautiful feathers, gorgeous birds.
It’s a Cooper’s Hawk. The males are the ones that protect the nest.
The photo above that i posted is of an Osprey or “fish eagle” at the moment it is about to grab a fish out of the water.
Coopers hawks are magnificent. I enjoy watching all of the raptors.
Wow, Monti, they are so similar! I told Savannah about your find and she wants to grab her feathers and post you a picture. Soon… a bit later.
https://feederwatch.org/community/participant-photo/coopers-hawk-tail-spread/
Mornin’ Woo
Yes Cooper’s Hawks are
beautiful and very vocal birds. We have many here. They drink and wash at our stock tanks. I try not to see what little critters they swoop in for.
Good morning, Corny! They are amazing and they can be a blessings in ways to keep your rodents down. Of course, there are those of us who think the rodents are cute too. Just depends. As long as they stay in their domain and out of mine – we are good!
Well put, Woo.
I make Lloyd empty the smaller stock tanks because it breaks my heart to see the little bones in the bottom. 😔
Ground squirrels…they are one annoying and expensively destructive critter…cute though they are…they can destroy a foundation, a sidewalk…if they winter in a garaged car…destroy wiring and the upholstery. And if in your basement, same damage.
Are they molting now? I found some rather big feathers in my yard…
We don’t know enough Aggiegirl about them. We found the feathers and a piece of a damaged nest nearby. Savannah looked into it as she found it was worth investigating.
She believes the male bird was protecting the nest and was attacked by a predator. We did not find a damaged bird, or anything other than some tail feathers and some of the very soft willowy feathers that make up the front of their plumage. But there was debris and it looked like a serious fight ensued.
The tail feather is about 8 inches long.
We left the fluffy willowy plumage there at the property, but here’s what we took home with us.
nice
Spectacular bird, spectacular picture!
Look at the intensity of the FOCUS!
The claws have me fixated….
When I first got my little 13 week, 6 pound sheltie puppy, back yard squirrels were his size……and then started hearing the owls….that was what I imagined hanging out in my trees….
I have a rather large pond off my back patio. Two summers ago, we spotted what appeared to be river otters taking up residence in one the draining culverts to the pond. (it’s a big pond). I was working at my desk with my back door open, screen door closed, and a HUGE bird of prey had one of the otters in its clutches and it “crashed” onto my andironback chair because it was trying to keep hold of its prey that it captured.
The otter was the size of about a 4 or 5 lb house cat. (I had an emaciated 5 lb house cat at the time – and it was pretty consistent with a back that was about five inches wide and curled around as the birds talons wer holding it in both clutches.) It’s fir was course, wet, dark black (I wondered if it were a rat at first, but it was too big to be a rat and I haven’t seen rats here) and it’s legs and face were turned way from me.
But that bird was HUGE and it was flapping its wings and landed not 12 feet away from me. And just as soon as I caught my breathe, that thing took off with its capture. I lament that it happened so quickly that I couldn’t get a picture of the thing.
I felt super bad about the otter, because I love wildlife in every shape and form… but that bird was a master hunter and it deserves its capture too. I pray we never reach a day where we see the extinction of such majestic creatures. I think that one was a red-tailed hawk because the wing span had to be around 4 feet, if not a bit bigger. I saw it flapping its wings and it was scrambling trying to keep its pray and rebalance itself.
About gave me a heart attack. Our cats don’t go outside for anything, but there are others around us who allow their small breeds to range a bit. They’re crazy.

Oh just pondering that one Christmas Day a laser beam from the sky came down and struck a building in Tennessee.
Have you ever thought about your soul – can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you’re dead you just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?
When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope – do you think he’s a fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I’ve seen the light and I’ve changed my ways
And I’ll be prepared when you’re lonely and scared at the end of our days
Could it be you’re afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love
Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?
I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don’t believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can’t retrieve
Perhaps you’ll think before you say that God is dead and gone

I barely remember the conspiracy theories around it. Just popped into my head for some reason. The unofficial videos people had were weird could have been fake. Those seem to be scrubbed from YouTube. I try not to go too deep into the web I try to stay positive when I can.
THE POINT OF SPIRITUAL HONOUR
“I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians.” Romans i. 14
Paul was overwhelmed with the sense of his indebtedness to Jesus Christ, and he spent himself to express it. The great inspiration in Paul’s life was his view of Jesus Christ as his spiritual creditor. Do I feel that sense of indebtedness to Christ in regard to every unsaved soul? The spiritual honour of my life as a saint is to fulfil my debt to Christ in relation to them. Every bit of my life that is of value I owe to the Redemption of Jesus Christ; am I doing anything to enable Him to bring His Redemption into actual manifestation in other lives? I can only do it as the Spirit of God works in me this sense of indebtedness.
I am not to be a superior person amongst men, but a bondslave of the Lord Jesus. “Ye are not your own.” Paul sold himself to Jesus Christ. He says – I am a debtor to everyone on the face of the earth because of the Gospel of Jesus; I am free to be an absolute slave only. That is the characteristic of the life when once this point of spiritual honour is realized. Quit praying about yourself and be spent for others as the bondslave of Jesus. That is the meaning of being made broken bread and poured out wine in reality.

Juststevie, I thought of you during a reading in sunday Mass, regarding your personal story you shared the other day.
it was Amos 7:12-15.
in part, “…I was a shepherd…the Lord took me from following the flock and said to me ‘go, prophesy to My people Israel’.”
Mornin’ all!
Oh my word, WeeWeed. You are the master memester. LOL
Good morning all. A couple things. There is no doubt in my mind that the attempted assassination of Trump was an inside job. There is no other rational explanation. Far too many coincidences. As far as I’m concerned those that cannot see that fact are the ones living in La La land and not me.
The plan was to kill Trump and sneak Niki Haley in to be the candidate at the convention.
MSNBC has pulled Morning Blow and his Ho for the week because they are afraid of what they will say.
MSNBC cancels ‘Morning Joe’ this morning because: Guests might make an inappropriate comment on live television that could be used to assail the program and network as a whole.

Spot on, rah.
Their agenda is apparent; instigating liars.
Truth
-should have no agenda.
What I don’t understand…is how do ‘they’ convince him, someone to be the shooter? Even a 20 something must know it means certain death. And that death is a rather permanent condition.
After all the wacko and hateful stuff we’ve sees these leftist kids saying and doing over the last few years?
These kids don’t have consciences. They are devoid of any faith, or any element of value towards human life. Sociopathic and pathological.
For God sakes, they can be convinced they are cats and pretend they are “furries”, or declare themselves a different sex, or even non-sex. The mental illness is remarkable.
This is not normal. It is demonic. It is why I removed Savannah from her school. We are witness to some of these kids and their behaviors. The attacks on the other kids show a completely remorseless, sociopathic, antipathy for human life… and they are ramping up significantly.
They do not have normal human emotions and they have zero risk assessment or critical thinking skills.
WeeWeed
No joke!

RSBN will have their normal great coverage.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. – Romans 12:1
A simple song often found in preschools sparked a dance craze in the 1950s. The Hokey Pokey directs participants to use certain body movements. “Put your right hand in,” and later, “Put your left foot in.” By the end of the song, dancers are told “Put your whole self in. … That’s what it’s all about.”
Dancing the Hokey Pokey has likely never been included in worship services, but in Romans 12:1, Paul says putting “your whole self in“ is requisite to worship. God calls you to total commitment. Such complete devotion is sometimes called consecration.
George Bush, an American biblical scholar, pastor, and academic—and distant relative of both presidents with that name—wrote, “For spiritual victory we must be willing to separate ourselves from all that might defile us, so that we can be set apart for God’s purposes in our life.
In addition, before God can do in our lives what He wants to do, we must become clean vessels for Him.” Evangelist and author Vance Havner said, “God wants self before substance and service… Self, service, substance is the divine order, and nothing counts until we give ourselves.”
Being consecrated does not mean cloistering yourself away in some monastic order. H.M. Miller calls it “handing God a blank check to fill in with your name signed at the bottom.”
In the Old Testament, Joshua called on all the people to “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you” (Josue 3:5).
It is through and because of the mercies of God that you are able to be “all in” for His Kingdom and the Gospel, and God is rich in mercies (Ephesians 2:4-5).
Pray for believers serving in government office to live in such a way that their full commitment to the Lord is revealed.

Verse of the Day for Monday, July 15, 2024
✟
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.”
1 John 4:7 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
I agree whole heartedly for prayers answered and blessings received. God was with us through the NW AR. tornado on Memorial day. My husband and I are in our 80’s. We are limited in what we can do physically. Thank God we were not hurt and our house was not damaged, but 100 year old trees on our property fell, damaging our fence and an additional structure in the yard. We were but one of hundreds of people in this area who were left wondering what to do. But….we have a BIG GOD who is BIGGER than any problems that we might have. Once the shock wore off, we were given the info about Samaritan’s Purse Disaster Team arriving and we immediately signed up. Long story short 16 of God’s Angels showed up over the course of 3 days. 2 Angels came from Louisiana and Arkansas to assess the damage. 12 Angels came from a church in South Carolina to saw the trees, pick up the debris and haul it to the curb. 2 Angels came from Michigan and Minnesota to act as Spiritual Councillors. What a blessing!!! THANK YOU GOD!!!!
This report brings me GREAT JOY to the point of TEARS. Praise God through Whom all blessings flow and praise God for the volunteers who give so greatly of themselves to minister in times of need. Whether it be bandages, lemonade, fresh water, a warm hug, a chain saw, strong muscles, and the might of God Himself working through their hands and feet! SO GOOD!
As Mr. Rogers would say in times of tragedy – we look for the helpers.
YEAH!!!!!! GOD’S ARMY! WOOT WOOT!
Oh Lazy,
Thank you for sharing this Good News. They truly are angels on earth. God Bless them and you. 🙏
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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
BY THE STORMY SEA
Mathew my friend in faith come forth to Me
Be undeterred by the sturred stormy sea
Do not look back come forward without fear
I guarantee you that I will be here
Taking those steps are frightful to many
Their faith is weak and some have not any
With each trial in life we’re asked to be
So strong in our faith by the stormy sea
The mountains are high – the valleys are low
Sometimes there is no path no way to go
At other times we are told there is no hope
After deciding the depth and the scope
God instructs us to trust solely in Him
To lean not on our own when times are grim
To acknowledge Him in all of our ways
To give Him all Honor and Glory and Praise
Well if that is the case why go to man
For a purpose solution and a plan
What does man know that God does not
Why believe man’s predictions on the spot
God speaks to His prophets on the daily
Anointed appointed to set up the bailey
Guided by God to speak truth in His name
With warnings and platitudes of the same
Listen My people to what you must know
What you must do that to you I will show
I AM who I AM and ever will be
I will guide you safely by the stormy sea

Now you see why DC Swamp put up their fence again.
Wow – I did not see that.
Well, we can look at it two ways – 1) to keep us out; or 2) to keep THEM IN. Certainly would make it easier to round them all up for prosecution, wouldn’t it?
Guaranteed – first day our President Trump is back in the White House – the fences come down. That’s the People’s House.

PROPHETIC WORD:
JGM – THE ATTEMPTED MURDER OF MY SON WILL BE EXPOSED – [15 July 2024]
[Prophetic Word heard – July 14, 2024]
For I the Lord this day am telling My children in the land of My eagle, you shall live and not die as a nation. Your enemies tried a great attack on your country by trying to end the life of My David. Well, they did not and could not succeed. I’ve intervened for this nation, and I’ve intervened for My David. My children, your warring and your constant prayers were heard by El Shaddai. An awakening has begun in My nation but now it will explode everywhere. I will destroy the evil that you’ve seen in your land and the nations around the world. My children, I will expose this plan. I will expose the murderous plot. I will show you where the instructions came from and who ordered the hit of My David. I told you the ravenous wolves were coming out of their caves to devour any truth or any freedom you had left in this nation. I will unmask these wolves and these treasonous traitors in your country.
I told you My children President Trump had traitors in his midst, and this should prove to you that that is true. Things were allowed to show you who these traitors are. Some close to him are working for this other side. Those that were to protect him let things slip through the cracks ever so subtily to make it look like they were doing their job, but they weren’t. Some are there for the right reason, and some did their jobs. As I told you, I have infiltrated the infiltrators, and I’m smoking them out of their holes and their hiding places, and they will be revealed who they are. My David’s real protection comes from Me saith the Lord of Hosts.
Secret details of your enemy’s plan to take down My David as they were taking down your nation. They failed. This nation belongs to Me, says the Lord. My David is Mine. He’s protected by Me. As your enemy’s desperation has grown in this time, I told you they would overreach. They would make mistakes.

“Hmm…this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else.”
The famous nineteenth century preacher Henry Ward Beecher once took on forces of corruption in his city of Indianapolis. He did more than identify the sins-he named the sinners, calling on the leaders of the industries to repent.
One night, as Beecher was walking through the city, one of these unsavory characters stepped out of an alley and pointed a gun at him. “Retract what you said Reverend, or I’ll fire” he growled.
“Fire away,” said Beecher and kept walking. “I don’t believe you can hit the mark as well as I did”. The assailant put his gun down.
You might be wise to reconsider having any more injections of the mRNA ‘Vaccines’ ( ie genocidal material.) Warn people that you know, family etc., about the dangers, I know it is difficult, maybe not as difficult as it was to get people to listen, some have been slowly realizing they were lied to by people they trusted. However, there are still many people who will just keep trusting the system.

EVENING PRAYERS
Prayer for Serenity 1: When Things Seem Out of Control
You did everything you could to assure a positive outcome, but it didn’t turn out the way you wanted or expected. We’ve all been there. It tests our faith. Maybe you accept the outcome or maybe you’re frustrated. God wants to help you put the situation into perspective and remember that he is always in control of every situation—even those you so desperately want to control.
Dear Lord, It feels like everything is out of control in my life right now. I know good things are happening too but the stress is overshadowing them. I wanted a better answer, things to change, but my hopes are dashed. Many people try to comfort me by saying that you’re in control, but it doesn’t bring me comfort. It seems condescending.
Lord, I want to understand and discern the plans you have for me. Father, restore my faith as I trust that you’re omniscient and I’m not. Envelope me with your peaceful balm to soothe my questioning mind. Remind me that you hold the whole world in your hands and all things work for good to those who believe in you. I do believe! Amen
Prayer for Serenity 2: When Anxiety Overtakes Rationality
God didn’t create doubt, anxiety, or worry. Satan did to rob us of our joy, peace, and sleep. God knows common sense can flee when we’re under stress, so he gave us a remedy when we experience mind hijackers: “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). Charles Spurgeon advised that, “Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength.”
Lord, you know how irrational I can become when I’m anxious. I can’t reign in my thoughts. Instead of expecting the best, I worry and wonder. I fret. My stomach churns, my heart races, and I can’t take my mind off the issue. I know you don’t want me living in a constant state of turmoil. It’s not good for my physical or mental health. It makes people around me miserable and keeps me living in a perpetual state of chaos instead of calmness, which I crave.
Father, you tell me in your Word to cast all my anxiety on you and so I’m doing that in this prayer. I lay at your feet the things I’m struggling with and I implore you Lord to free my mind of concerns. Remind me please to take deep breaths and trust that you can make a way even when the path is not visible to me. Father, please lead me to refreshing Scriptures when I feel anxiety approaching. Holy Spirit fill me with the serene peace and joy of the Lord. Amen
