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 †

I swear, deb….I pulled a favourite Laura Ashley dress from my closet which is yonks years old and which I bought when living in Britain. It was always long as was the fashion of the day. I loved…still love that dress.
But when I held it up it was trailing on the floor in front of me! By a mile…

How to End Well
In every season of life,
God calls us to serve others.
If Jesus called you home today,
would you—like Paul—be confident
that you lived well until the end?
Good early morning Annie !! Great way to start my Friday, love Chicago !!
Hope you’re all healed up. I’m still recovering after two trips to the operating room.
I see the surgeon again at the end of this month…if he thinks I am healed sufficiently I will get the all clear to return to work, just over two months into my leave from work.
Jogging will be completely off the table until the spring, most likely. Actually looking forward to getting back to work and being a regular night owl at work and reading The Treehouse five overnights a week !!
Hope you’re well and doing great !!
Thanks, Annie… what a band! A good way to start any day,. including Friday
Happy Friday, Annie❣️

Great selection Annie

Totally off topic, but you asked after I had left last night about ham radio bands. I couldn’t remember, but my husband says it was 2 meter and also a uhf – 70cm.
There are a fair amount of repeaters in our area that we are able to “hit”.
Years ago, our truck which was parked at the entrance to the garage, caught on fire. Our landline wasn’t functioning, so I used the radio to reach someone who could call 911 for me. Saved our garage. A little tip – always tell firefighters about ammunition you may have in your glove compartment! 😉
OK. Thank you for responding. I was curious because you mentioned using the equipment in lieu of cellular. The UHF band 70cm is 420-450 MHz and is in one of the same bands as the equipment that RixSix and I discussed yesterday. The difference is that mesh network equipment class does not permit voice comms whereas your 70cm UHF equipment does.
2 Meter was very popular 40-50 years ago when CB was all the rage (CB is in the 11 meter band), because 2 meter was licensed (Tech license) and always much more regulated and monitored by the local users. So in the urban area in which I lived (not far from Baltimore), there were plenty of repeaters to enable reliable 2-way comms from almost anywhere in the surrounding counties.
As far as ammo in the glovebox, I’ve always avoided that…. 😎
Howdy Garrison 🙂
Howdy, jay . . . 🙂
Morning (just), Garrison 💕 Just passing through on my way to gwelli…
It might be a bit crowded but I’m only little 😎
Morning, Bet 🙂 Busy, busy very stressful day. I spent hours going over my IRS extension tax folder. Admittedly, I’m not good at this so very high stress . . . I think I’ve got everything collated and properly organized. Fortunately, I have an excellent, very understanding, tax attorney who has successfully helped me through many years of this.
Fact is, due to dyslexia, I don’t do numbers well at all. Fortunately, he does. I’ll take this stuff to him tomorrow . . .
Morn’in Jay,Garrison and Betsy… I couldn’t sleep either Bet so I came down and made snack 🤣..eggs,grits,spam,English muffin… not as fancy as Jay’s but gives my tummy something to work on…🤣👍… hope you all good rest of today 😀👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
🙋🏻♂️🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Wow!!! Small snack!!!! Good for you…bet you drifted right off 💕 I thought about having something, but in the end didn’t. I do love me an English muffin…with plenty of butter. Or if someone is doing the cooking, Eggs Benedict which I haven’t had in deacades.
And now I AM honnnngry!!!
Blessed he your day, dear replete Jim 🙏🏻😘
What a tyrannical agency is the IRS. I am all sympathy for the stress it has caused you, Garrison. I’m sure they deliberately make everything so difficult so they can better expand their chances of terrorism, the only thing they are good at. God bless you, dear friend, and your tax attorney who has you by the hand and knows what he is doing 💕
A good portion of my angst is my own fault, I fear. I tend to put off things I don’t like . . . like now. Doing this just prolongs the stress. Gonna’ make an effort to get my taxes ready for regular tax time this year.
Garrison
It’s shameful that a government agency that only in theory works for its citizens, can terrorize those very citizens, and cause such distress. I am truly sorry.
Can anyone tell me the artists name on this print?
I see a scribble, Just. But try as I might I cannot make it out I regret to say.
Isn’t it lovely??
If I were decorating a child’s room, I would be looking for a LARGE print to put on the wall. I love it 💕
Great minds, Bets
I made my comment re: how great this would be in a child’s room before seeing yours. Wonder if the new great grandson would eventually love it.
Looks like: Pratt P C

Thanks for the info. 😊
Love this, Bets. Wouldn’t it make great artwork in a child’s room?! (Or mine!)
Beautiful, Garrison… thanks for making our Friday so pleasant
Afternoon, benzy. Great music like this always brings me solace. Started listening to Segovia LP’s just after HS. Later, when I could afford it, I got a better higher-end playback system: Linn tonearm,
Klipsch speakers. What a difference!!
Morning Garrison!
Afternoon, Gramps!
Good morning, my man Garrison.😎
-Well that certainly brought my little world alive.
It gave pause to really notice simple loveliness.
With the end of the season nearing
the potted flowers spilling over… bursting bright for their last hurrah
Tomato plants with their final fruits…leaves starting to brown… while some tiny yellow flowers seem to have hope
-thanks
💖
Afternoon, dear Patience. Putting up these guitar performances is great fun. Sometimes small pleasures can be the most enjoyable. It just takes the right attitude—which from your description you so obviously have.
The music and sequence took me.
-thank again
I mentioned before that militarily time is on our side because Hamas is losing its assets and people, but also they can’t train new recruits while new generations are joining the IDF regularly. In all the darkness one must locate the positives too. The new generation that was called “The Tik Tok generation” is proving itself to be better than all previous generations. I’m not spending much time on reporting it but there are hundreds of heroic stories emerging from our soldiers in Gaza. Many gave their lives to save the lives of others, many got wounded and came back to fight, it’s common.
This is an amazing generation! Until 10/7 the front line of the confrontations with terrorists was mainly done by the Border Police which is over Jerusalem and the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). You probably didn’t know but there are daily confrontations for years.
What I’m saying is that the number one most popular recruit option was The Border Police. This generation wants to contribute.
Now after 10/7, the most contributing (arguably) are the Combat Engineers who enter the tunnels and explode them and the Armored Corps
(those branches happen to also be the most dangerous), so now the number one most wanted recruit option is Combat Engineers and number two is Armored Corps. This generation wants to be on the front regardless of the danger. We are blessed with a great generation!
Following is the latest swearing ceremony of the Armored Corps. Note: If you didn’t know military is mandatory (Man from 18 years old to about 21 and women 18-20).
David I love it when you drill down on subjects. Is “The Tik Tok generation” the same generation that dominated those injured/killed on 10/7 or is that irrelevant? If the same is it a result of very perceived personal threat? Our all voluntary military has missed most of its recruiting goals. I have always believed that patriots in the USA are driven by love of country; which is severely being tested in the USA.
God bless you, the IDF, Israel, and USA.
Jeff
I don’t understand the question. ‘Dominated those injured/killed” means “had the most”? Or means “responsible for the failures “?
If it’s the first option then maybe if you count the Nova Festival which were mainly young.
As to responsibility then no, there were tens against hundreds , most who fought didn’t have enough munitions to sustain long battles.
There is huge number of testimonials about heroism from that day, I could easily present some.
The Command base that was taken and lost tens of soldiers was utterly surprised and soldiers were still in night clothes from bed.
The failure is squarely on the higher command which ignored the warnings of the observers and others and which didn’t prepare for the situation.
When I said that this generation is amazing I am basing it on multiple reports from the older generation. Many many high ranking people both on the ground and in Israel are saying that this generation is the best.
I noticed in quite a few ceremonies before soldiers take a refresher their high commanders are talking to them and saying that “they are the best generation of soldiers”.
At the final end the results of the war are at the hands of the politicians and high command.
They will decide when to end the war and the strategic moves that make or break.
Whatever the soldiers will be asked for they will do.
Shalom and God bless. Israel and the US.
Note : When I say tens against hundreds I refer to single locations. Overall we know of about 3,000 terrorists and I just read a report that says that with civilians it is maybe 6,000. Not sure about this one.
❤️💪🇮🇱 David: This is deeply gratifying and encouraging news to hear.
Thank you for translating the very powerful Swearing Ceremony of the Armored Corps.
This new generation of young Israeli Warriors is showing a strength and commitment that is very rare in modern times.
What a miraculous blessing from God; such absolutely perfect timing — supplying Warriors needed for this existential War on 7 fronts!
I’ve been stunned and so glad at the strong desire and willingness of many of the wounded Israeli soldiers to RETURN to BATTLE — just as you mentioned in your report above.
I’m so very proud of the parents who RAISED these new brave and willing Israeli Warriors.
🙏🇮🇱🇺🇸🙏 God please continue to keep Israel and the USA safe and protected from all those who wish them harm.
Amen 🙏
Amen. ❤️
PILOTS vs MECHANICS
After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a “gripe sheet,” which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then the pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
• P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
• P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
• P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
• P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
• P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
• P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
• P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
• P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That’s what friction locks are for.
• P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
• P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
• P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to: straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
• P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
• P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
Really funny Nim.. thanks for laugh..😂👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
thx, Jim
I like “Live bugs on back-order”
“Cannot reproduce problem on ground”…
They are all funny!
👍
P: “Evidence of leak…..”
S: “Evidence removed “
Sounds like these maintenance guys could work for the EffBeeLie…
Except they (the maintenance guys) actually need to be competent at their jobs.
While this may be attributed to UPS….it sounds like write up gaffs from the USAF. These gaffs could probably be found in the RAF also but IFF and target radars are military gear. IFF in OFF position is one of the oldest jokes in USAF.
Thank you! These are great! I sent it to my SIL, when he was in the service he wanted to be a pilot but h was too tall. I had not known that there was a height restriction.

Richard DeVos
(1926-2018)
American businessman who co-founded Amway, dies at 92
Biography: Richard DeVos was an American businessman who co-founded the multi-level marketing company Amway (now known as Alticor) with Jay Van Andel in 1959. The company sold cleaning products and later expanded to distribute goods worldwide.
DeVos was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to Dutch American parents who worked with electrical equipment. He served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II prior to entering into business.
He became very wealthy from Amway, although the company has been criticized as a pyramid scheme and even banned from India due to their business practices. In 2012, Forbes said he was the 60th richest person in the United States with an estimated net worth of $5.1 billion.
In 1970, DeVos and his wife Helen started a foundation that supported education, healthcare, the arts and conservative political causes. DeVos donated large sums of money to the Republican Party over the years.
He served for a period as the finance chairman for the Republican National Committee. DeVos was also close friends with former President Gerald Ford and his wife Betty Ford and, when Ford died, DeVos was an honorary pallbearer at his funeral.
In 1991, DeVos bought the Orlando Magic NBA team in 1991 for $85 million. He had previously tried to get a Major League Baseball team in Orlando but failed to do so.
After being denied a transplant in the United States as he was deemed too old and unhealthy, DeVos went to the United Kingdom for a heart transplant in 1997. He wrote about this experience in his book “Hope From My Heart” (1997).
Father of Betsy DeVos (education under Trump), Erik Prince (owner of Blackwater special forces contractor), and another daughter who is the owner of Hudsonville dairy out of Michigan. I can’t remember third daughter’s name. She is also some sort of pastor and religious leader on a few faith boards, but it is hard to find much written about the second daughter.
Thanks woo! I did not know he was erik’s dad. I will look it up because I’m wondering why erik has a different last name.
and I often buy hudsonville ice cream, and did not know the connection!
Sorry – I messed that up. They are a complicated family and it’s hard to keep track with all the articles on them.
Richard, I believe, is Betsy’s husband. Her maiden name is Prince. Hudsonville is owned by the 2nd sister.
Erik Prince is the son of Edgar Prince who started Johnson Controls. Edgar died when Erik was 11 years old. Their mother was Elsa.
Okay – Richard, Sr. and Richard, Jr. Betsy is married to Junior.
Ah yes, I see that, as I just now looked it up.
regardless, didnt know betsy and erik were siblings!
It looks like edgar prince’s dad died when edgar was 11 (edgar lived till 1995).
thanks!
A prayer for President Trump…

The real secret service…
Good morning.
I have a HISSY MISSY. Zero MEOW. ALL HISS. It’s her love language.
Be thankful your place isn’t in front of this supertyphoon.
September 6
MORNING
Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. Lam. 3:41
Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! Psa. 113:5, 6
Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. Psa. 25:1
I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Psa. 143:6-8
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. Psa. 63:3, 4
Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. Psa. 86:4, 5
Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do. John 14:13
EVENING
Watchman, what of the night? Isa. 21:11
It is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Rom. 13:11, 12
Learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: so likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Matt. 24:32, 33, 35
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Psa. 130:5, 6
He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly, Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Rev. 22:20
Watch…. for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Matt. 25:13

Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor. – Proverbs 21:21
President Abraham Lincoln once said, “Kindness is the only service that will stand the storm of life and not wash out. It will wear well and will be remembered long after the prism of politeness or the complexion of courtesy has faded away.” Though an article in Psychology Today cites research showing that “being kind is good for one’s physical and mental health,” one wonders whether it is a valued currency in today’s social economy.
In addition to pursuing moral and right living, in today’s proverb, King Solomon says the pursuit of kindness is another essential in life. Kindness is defined as “the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate.”
How would you grade yourself on being kind? Do you bother to smile at the grocery store checker, even though you are disturbed by the prices you are paying? What words did you speak to the person who held a door open for you? Or did you perhaps hold open the door for another? Are you kind only to those who are special in your life or those who can benefit you? Have you helped an overworked mother of toddlers or taken a plate of cookies to an elderly shut-in neighbor? Kindness can cost you…time, energy, effort, money.
Theologian John Piper says, “Christian kindness is not merely an external change of manners; it is an internal change of heart… Christian kindness is tenderhearted. If the heart is hard on the inside and the manners are meek and polite and helpful on the outside, it is not Christian kindness.”
Kindness is among the fruit of the Holy Spirit. It is He who gives you the power to be kind even when you don’t feel like it.
Consider how kind God has been to you, then go about reflecting that godly kindness to others. It will have its reward… for you and for the one you bless by being kind.
Pray for believers across America to show kindness to others during this tumultuous election season.

Verse of the Day for Friday, September 6, 2024
✟
“Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.”
Psalms 26:2 (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
LOVE IN ACTION
Unexpected kindness touches the heart
A listening ear can yield a fresh start
When in a quandary of the feeling kind
Tis hard to explain what we left behind
Feelings are not facts justified away
Kept hidden from view for another day
Sooner or later they come into the light
Where the future is happier and bright
Where circumstances have mightily changed
And our flawed thinking has been rearranged
Angels surround us of the human kind
That reveal the truth to the human mind
When we speak from the heart no sound returned
We will find what God planned to be learned
We cannot know the perfect mind of God
We can only concur it is to be awed
His ways are not our ways nor ever will be
And His thoughts not what we can foresee
Where there seems to be no possible way
His love in action brings a brighter day
The sadness and loneliness is lifted
With a new sense of purpose we are gifted
Happiness returns and we’re flying high
To hopeless heartache the end draws nigh
God knows the beginning and the end
He knows recesses of the heart bend
When healing occurs and we are set free
The promise of tomorrow comes to be

This is a great passage in Scriptures and is more familiar to some of us in a newer translation:
“Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
(New American Standard Bible 1995)

Ned is a Good Boy! We never had a doggie who didn’t allow kitties to crawl all over them. Such wonderful animals.
When we take new dogs into our home, the first thing that happens is the “Kitties Rule” lecture!
They let babies batter, yank and lay on them as well… and abide the big humans.
I could never be a dog . 🤔

This is an amazing and very thought-provoking and deep conversation about the physical / geological / meteorological changes coming in Earth’s future ….. not the distant future, but possibly starting in April 2025!
How can this be predicted??
Because it has happened repeatedly in the past! (PS – it’s NOT an end-of-the-world prediction)

Reposting this on the Proper Thread.
Wondered if anyone else would appreciate a post dedicated to sharing favorite fall recipes.
I was looking at my recipe for pear preserves that was in my last letter from my grandma that passed at 86 and wondered.
I’m 69 now but it was the best I’d ever found.
Peel and core a sack or two of pears fresh from the tree and cut them into slices. You want to pick them when they are just a bit green and the flesh is still firm and crunchy.
For every 2 quarts of sliced pears cover with one pound of sugar. (2 cups) Cover and let the pot stand overnight. At least 8 hours. 12 is better. You should come back to a pot of pear slices floating in the melted sugar and natural juices of the pears.
On slow heat cover and simmer the pears until they are almost translucent – stirring often so that they don’t stick on the bottom and burn.
Once cooked remove the pears from the syrup and set aside. Allow the syrup to simmer until it is reduced almost by half.
Return the pears to the syrup and bring back up to a slow boil. Spoon the fruits out into hot sterile canning jars using a slotted spoon. Once the jars are packed full with the pears top with the syrup to 1/2 inch head space. Process pints and quarts for 25 minutes in a boiling water bath.
There will be plenty of syrup left in the pot once the pears are spooned out. Ladle it into hot jars and process it along with the jars of preserves. This syrup will make the most amazing glaze for duck, goose and pork when slow roasted. Add some hot chilies and garlic and brush it over the meat in the last 15 minutes of roasting.
Tennessee home cooking.
When it’s cooked down it will have the consistency of thick honey.
OMG 😱
Yummy!!!!😋
What a great recipe!
The instructions are wonderful. So complete.
Thank you so much for sharing. I particularly like plain recipes that don’t depend upon a multitude of spices.

DECLARATIONS, DECREES, AND DEFINITIONS:
It looks like you’re surrounded and troubled by the enemy, but God! God is your way out and your victory.
The enemy wants to knock down God’s people, but keep trusting and relying on God.
God’s Glory is His presence, power, and goodness.
Be focused, willing, ready and have an open heart to what God is doing.
Your enemies don’t triumph over you.
Do not be afraid of your enemies. You need to stand firm and earnestly remember Who God is and what He has done.
God will have His way and the final say.
Jesus is the head and you are part of the body, and the enemy is under your feet.
God will always give you hope in your final outcome because of what Jesus already did for you on the cross.
Do not limit God by murmuring, groaning and complaining-like the Israelites did.
Don’t let guilt, shame and condemnation get in your way.
Put the breastplate of righteousness on every day.
Don’t let Satan keep you in your past. If you stay in your past you can’t receive the present (gift).
The enemy will try to shake you with fear, condemnation, chaos, and stress. That’s why you need to stand on the Word of God!
God is going to do even greater things than what He did in former days.
The darkness is a foreshadowing of the enemies’ fall. It is not for you.
Jehovah Jireh – The Lord your Provider.
Jehovah Nissi – The Lord your Banner of Victory.

PROPHETIC WORD:
JGM – LIVE – [6 September 2024]
[Word heard – 28 August, 2024 on prayer call]
My children, the children of the Most High God, this is the time to walk into your Promised Land. This is the time of your freedom. This is the time of great RESTORATION. This is the time of GREAT CELEBRATION. This is that time of a GREAT AWAKENING and just as I had written in My Word in Joel, in Acts, I AM POURING OUT MY SPIRIT UPON ALL FLESH. ALLOW ME TO POUR OUT MY SPIRIT UPON YOU IN GREATER MEASURE. DO NOT LIMIT ME. I’M AN UNLIMITED GOD. I’M READY TO POUR OUT MY SPIRIT. I JUST NEED WILLING VESSELS TO RECEIVE IT. Whilst you see the storm that’s barrelling down against your enemies and when you see their complete devastation and catastrophic damage done to their establishment and their foundations, their foundations will be brought to nothing. As you see these things, remember I DID THAT FOR YOU. EARNESTLY REMEMBER WHO I AM AND MY LOVE, BUT ALSO REMEMBER MY FAITHFULNESS. I AM FAITHFUL TO A THOUSAND GENERATIONS. You are part of that faithfulness. You are part of the generations that will see My hand move. My hand that no foe can withstand. My hand that shatters your enemy. My hand that restores and renews. This is that time that I have waited for you. Many things are going to try and shake you. Many things are going to try to get you off of My Word and away from it. It’s always the darkest point before a breakthrough and before the brightest part of your life. You will see a lot of darkness and you see what looks like a lot of despair. I’m not done. That’s not the end. It’s the end for your enemies. It’s the end of their plan. It’s the end of their power. It’s the end, not for you. Do not back off from Me but PRESS IN MORE TO MY WORD. PRESS IN AND ASK ME FOR MORE REVELATION. IF YOU ASK ME FOR MORE REVELATION I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU. IF YOU ASK ANYTHING IN MY NAME I WILL DO IT. ASK ME FOR MORE GLORY. ASK ME FOR MORE PEACE OR MORE JOY. AND YES, YOU CAN ASK ME FOR FINANCES.
MORE…

WOW !!!
I am so blessedly moved by this. In Brand’s beginning, he would screech and move so fast one could barely understand a word he said. Now, he’s so centered, and in that prayer moment, so calm. A lovely, lovely prayer. What an honor to witness such metamorphosis. The change only our God could make. Jesus Is so Good. Hallelujah!
Peace and Tranquility Prayers
Prayer for a Calm Heart
Lord of Peace, as evening falls, I seek the calmness only You can provide. Quell the storms of my mind and replace anxiety with Your peace. As the world quiets down, let my heart do the same. May Your presence envelop me so that I may know tranquility tonight and always. Amen.
Serenity at Day’s End
Heavenly Father, with the closing of this day, I ask for serenity. As the night sky displays its vast beauty, let my soul mirror its peacefulness. Help me to let go of the worries of the day and trust in Your loving care. May Your peace reign in my heart and home tonight. Amen.
Prayer for Restful Stillness
Dear God, in the stillness of this evening, I come to You seeking rest for my soul. Help me to lay down the burdens I’ve carried today and find comfort in Your arms. Grant me peace that passes understanding and a rest that restores my spirit. May my sleep be undisturbed and my dreams be sweet. Amen.
Nighttime Whisper for Peace
Creator of All, as I listen to the night’s gentle whisper, I ask for peace to settle over me. Let Your tranquility wash away the noise of the day. In this quiet hour, I lean on Your promise of peace, a heavenly balm to my weary soul. Keep me in perfect peace as I keep my mind stayed on You. Amen.
Prayer for Gentle Rest
Omnipotent and Gentle Lord, at the end of this day, I seek the gentle rest that You so lovingly provide. May my mind be at ease, my body relax, and my spirit find harmony. Help me to release every concern into Your capable hands and sleep in the assurance of Your protection and peace. Amen.

🆕 Today, we’re introducing new features while phasing out a few outdated ones.
⛔️ We’ve removed the People Nearby feature, which was used by less than 0.1% of Telegram users, but had issues with bots and scammers.
🛍 In its place, we will be launching “Businesses Nearby”, showcasing legitimate, verified businesses. These businesses will be able to display product catalogs and accept payments seamlessly.
✂️ We’ve also disabled new media uploads to Telegraph, our standalone blogging tool, which seems to have been misused by anonymous actors.
☝️ While 99.999% of Telegram users have nothing to do with crime, the 0.001% involved in illicit activities create a bad image for the entire platform, putting the interests of our almost billion users at risk.
