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 †

“The greatest enemy to human souls is the self-righteous spirit which makes men look to themselves for salvation.”
CHS
…..and is merely a continuation of the “war” that led to – not began at – the tower of Babel. Where that same self-righteous spirit, AKA the evil inclination, AKA satan continues his role as the greatest enemy to human souls, seeking it appears, to turn them into Hyena souls. Remember, the sole purpose of the “tower” was to reach a place where we humans would be at a place “next” to God, IE equal, and hence in a position to make war with Him, to “defeat” our need of Him through our reliance of ourselves.
We are in that same moment again today as on one hand we applaud our great and “amazing” advances, increased investment (soon to be absolute reliance) in Ai. Today even the most illiterate, concept lacking, word deficient plunky can ask Ai to generate a business proposal or poetic prose, you’d think originated from some seasoned veteran (of life) or Shakespearean with all the wisdom and empathy only a life of humility and at the very least a “faith” in the belief of a single Creator /“God” /Being,/ Entity,/ Existence,/ Divinity, /Holiness, /whatever our limited minds can conceive – of the “box” what IS an impossibility for us to grasp. We can only hold onto our unshakeable knowledge and understanding that as the lucky few who have FELT with unmistakeable evidence, the hand of God in our lives. Of course our obvious and greatest enemy is to actually BELIEVE that a Power so beyond our mental capacity to understand would be interested in our mundane, often pathetic existences – wallowing in a world of addicted self created realities of increased indulgence and minimized responsibility. Most are completely oblivious to the dark wings that if unchecked, will completely enveloped mankind into the darkness of a self created, self righteous spirit. Satan (ourselves) will then have succeeded in convincing ourselves the HE (The Creator) – not he (satan) does not exist – we will BE satan.
Of course we know that that is not going to happen, we KNOW there is a Power Greater and beyond ourselves. We have the evidence for that written on the bones of our lives and those of our ancestors, and is carved by God Himself into and on to our souls, hearts and minds – That is why it is imperative that as we establish this potentially wondrous technology, we remain even more vigilant in our ongoing war of good vs evil. Remembering and recalling in sharp focus that we are but dust in a passing wind, a single grain on the sea shore, and that, for some reason (our) Creator cares enough to Love, Cherish, Bless, Provide, and, yes rebuke, even punish – but COMMUNICATE – as every good, loving parent the world over would do.
WHO AM I
Who am I that God cares for me
Who is it I am supposed to be
What is it I am called to do
What makes me so worthy of You
Have you ever pondered God
Have you ever wondered broad
Have you ever concentrated
Have you ever contemplated – God
Did you know that you are blessed
With gifts and talents and zest
Have you ever considered why
You are the apple of God’s eye
We have jobs, titles, and responsibilities
Accountabilities acceptabilities permeabilities
No matter how confusing it all may be
God has a purpose and plan for thee
When guided by the Holy Spirit
We are inspired if we can hear it
The voice of God from within
Where to go when to begin
We believe and we receive
Thus we are able to achieve
Because God wills it all for us
We obey – He gives us the plus
We are here on an eternal quest
On our pathway we are but a guest
This life is our test to be worthy
For where we will end this journey
Have you ever been asked
To do something over tasked
Impossible for you but not for Him
God did not choose you on a whim
God knows the beginning and the end
It is your free will that may not bend
To His Will we must be fully aware
Only way to know is through prayer
Whatever He asks of you on cue
You must be willing and able to do
You must obey His daily demand
It is not a wish – it is a command
So if you are daily thinking
How to God’s plan you be linking
Listen to what the Spirit asks of you
Then you will know just what to do
If failure plagues you – anxiety too
If life in general is making you blue
If you are lost without a compass
Get off your bum kick up a rumpus
The trick to making the duress stop
Is to get up and move till you plop
Override the mental with exercise
Be not fearful – just be otherwise
God has a remedy for whatever ails you
Tap into His Spirit – sit not and just stew
For greater is He who lives within
Than he whose goal is to mire in sin
Know that God wants only what is best
For you to successfully complete the test
Develop those gifts and talents for your story
Give Him the effort He deserves for His Glory

You get it sister. One of the lucky few. There is no doubt God speaks through you – be honored and blessed.
Remember, when Joshua, still a “student” of Moses, came with angst to tell his teacher (Moses) that there were reports of prophecy being made within the ranks of the public of Israel (12 tribes), and that he (Joshua) was concerned that his masters position would and could be challenged. The reply by Moses, immediately showing his humility and genuine love for the people, was that as long as the Creator chooses to remain in contact with His people, he (Moses) would wish ALL the people of Israel would receive the power of prophesy. It would have been the happiest day of his life, and would have probably resulted in the final Complete Redemption happening already back then. Our Lord and ultimate teacher had other plans instead. We (humanity) and specifically Gods chosen (not just the Jews) but ALL of His promised – they will recognize themselves – now stand in similar fashion. Do we listen and try to understand the messages God is continually sending us, do we in all humility and respect also understand that if the greatest prophet who ever lived would be most happy if God decided to bless humanity by opening the “paths” of wisdom and prophesy to many. Unfortunately our concept of a “Prophet” IE somebody who walks around in a long beard, wearing sandals and sackcloth, with deep mysterious eyes, and is otherwise a pretty scary person. Back then there were just ordinary people who God touched and did what they almost had no other choice, but do. There were and are Lady prophets too. Sarah, wife of Abraham is accepted as having greater prophetic “powers” than her husband. This applies also to many of the “leading ladies” of the Bible. If it be Gods will and would result in our long awaited redemption (for all Creation), then by all means let all of us see the path/s opened.

Hola, Garrison! I really enjoyed the last two pieces, most especially!
As you might know, I have the greatest affinity for guitar compositions based on frequently repeated themes / melodies. These are closer to and most often what we might call the “popular” or “folk” music of the countries of the composers’ origin (Ramirez and Villoldo are both from Argentina). My wife and I can listen to Argentinian tango music for hours….
Ha!
Watching a Sopranos re-run on cable
Tony Soprano, the mob boss, is at the hospital. His mother – who he hates – has had a stroke and two orderlies are wheeling her down the corridor lying flat on a gurney.
Tony grabs at her and yells some hot-headed accusation and one of the orderlies pushes Tony’s arm away and says to leave her alone, she’s had a stroke.
Tony:
“Hey George Clooney! If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stay the hell out of this!”

MMW – so fitting you would follow RUSH with ‘The Thrill is Gone’.
Everything RUSH is the soundtrack of a very regrettable choice to partner with a RUSH-obsessed guy and the subsequent life segment.
God works in very mysterious ways to maneuver me onto a path that sooner or later submerges me in “Never. Again.”clarity. Story of my life.
So. Perfect. Carry on; just continue to “Do that voodoo that you do so well”
Oh, so he was the guy @ every concert I went to that stood the entire concert SCREAMING Lifeson is G-d.
Quite possibly.
Had I ever seen that we might be having a very different conversation today…
seeing that would have got me to “Never.” in one efficient step.
But, alas.
Israel Update:
Gaza:
Not so good.
-almost daily rockets into Israel. A couple a day. No casualties. It’s all comes from North Gaza. The IDF is into a stupid operation basis of : spotting the area from which the rockets came, evacuating the area, terrorists move out, demolishing the area, and the cycle begins again elsewhere. There are some reports that Hamas recruited thousands of new terrorists.
Eventually this will be handled. We are regularly killing the terrorists in tens per day and demolishing more facilities related to them. Eventually it will end.
-The IDF increased the pressure on Gaza and is heavily after those who are involved in taking the humanitarian aide for Hamas. Also getting better and better Intel about locations of terrorists. A few days ago they had intel of hundreds of terrorists in a hospital. They surrounded the hospital and now there is an improved way to spot terrorists amongst those who evacuate. Hundreds were captured and in one night when it was raining Hamas tried to move out and attack, the IDF was ambushing them and killed 102 terrorists. Other days also 50 killed then 60 then 40. We are pressuring them. Some reports are saying that the rocket fires are because we are entering those areas and they try to use it before it is captured.
We still get about one or two killed per week and 2-4 injured. Mainly anti tank RPGs and IEDs (explosives). Today 2 IDF soldiers killed and a couple badly injured. It happened in a new area that the IDF is clearing.
-Trump said again that if the American hostages will not be let out there is going to be “hell and chaos in Gaza.” Note that he didn’t say “Americans” but the question was about Americans. Here is what I think can happen:
I don’t think that there will be US forces on the ground. But, he will enable the Israeli “Generals Plan” that Biden prevented.
This plan is to evacuate North Gaza completely and clear it. Done by not letting any humanitarian aide to get in there. Then possibly doing the same on central Gaza.
This makes Hamas lose grounds and squeezing them badly. Also Trump will warn Qatar and Turkey and Iran that any aide to Hamas will carry debilitating sanctions. The ultimate pressure on Hamas would be enabling a way out for refugees. Into Syria or anywhere.
This is the worst nightmare of Hamas. Everyone will want to leave. This is less likely but all forms of pressure are needed to release hostages and they don’t care about human lives nor property. They care about lands and Palestinians leaving. On the other hand Israel is willing to let them out to Iran or anywhere they want if they give the hostages. Israel is also willing to let hundreds of terrorists out of prisons in exchange.
Lebanon:
-Israeli Defense Minister suggested that if the Lebanese army is not dealing with Hezbollah infrastructure as was in the deal, then we will not withdraw Lebanon. To remind you the deal was structured to take place (withdraw) before inauguration. Israel was forced to agree under extreme pressure.
-Biden sent his representative and again under pressure the IDF withdrew one village as a pilot, Lebanese Army is moving in. The point is that the Lebanese army is useless and the Lebanese government is pro Hezbollah.
-Israel until yesterday was still very slowly moving towards the Litani River. Finding lots of munitions and weapons. Note: Israel must hold a secure zone up to the Litani River to secure its borders. Israel is expecting Hezbollah to withdraw in order to complete this deal.
Note: The whole deal was a Biden’s lie. Hezbollah is going to wait and let the IDF withdraw and then slowly return. A complete bogus deal. The UN enabled Hezbollah and Lebanese Army is the same. I also came across reports that Israel is working on making some 12 or so outposts of IDF inside South Lebanon. Preparing to stay there to keep the area clean of Hezbollah. Hezbollah just stated that it’s “losing its patience.” (A threat).
We will see how it goes after the date of the withdraw because the Lebanese Army is not doing their part. Israel may decline the deal and we may have more rounds of war with Hezbollah. But remember that we now have positions in Syria around the border. The IDF is able to cut them around the side. I wouldn’t be surprised if we just keep all the way to the Litani River, there is a lot to do a lot more munitions and weapons. With Trump in office we can cut a better deal which enables us to secure the buffer zone properly.
-I don’t know exact date but Lebanon is pushing for elections in days or so.
They are afraid that if it is done in Trump times , there may be a Pro US new President.
The US has its own preferred candidate. I didn’t dive into it and I should.
-I mentioned before that the Syrian Rebels have a bill to revenge against Hezbollah.
A couple of days ago there were first fights between them and Lebanon army on the border and some soldiers of Lebanon killed. At the same time Sunnis in North Lebanon are parading and demonstrating and want a Sunni takeover of Lebanon. It is possible that what we saw in Syria will happen in Lebanon. Israel could be the least problem of Hezbollah. The Syrians are basically an incarnations of Al Qaeda. They will slaughter Shias mercilessly.
This is why Israel must control South Lebanon security wise. We could have Al-Qaeda both on the Syrian border and the Lebanese.
Judea and Samaria(West Bank):
-We had a weeks in which the Palestinian Authority was fighting Hamas. Not super intense but a few got killed and we saw videos of PA abusing people who they arrested.
-Today a terror attack on Israelis in Judea and Samaria two women and a man killed.
IDF on a manhunt. We always get them sooner than later. Hopefully they won’t surrender.
Note: We have over a half a million Jews living in Judea and Samaria (West Bank) in 150 towns. About 5.2% of the total Israeli population. Arabs in the West Bank are around 3 millions.
Internationally:
-Brazil issued an arrest warrant against a 20 years old IDF soldier on vacation. He managed to flee back to Israel. He was a survivor from the Nova festival by the way.
There is also a litigation against another IDF soldier in Thailand.
There is an organization that is headed by two Hamas supporters and a Hezbollah supporter who are running this operation. We expect more of it. Note: Israel will have to solve this. Problem. IDF soldiers traditionally travel the East , Thailand, India, etc… after they finish service.
Hostages:
-Again a lot of extra media about “the deal”. Mossad Chief was supposed to go to Qatar to discuss the deal and he delayed it. Note: In my opinion all his trips , a few of them, are a waste of his time. It’s not his job, he is not a negotiator. He is a warrior and a spy.
I told you before that Hamas is manipulating it and playing with the families of the hostages and with Israel, using the Israeli MSM. All those “almost deals” and then a Hamas Senior announces again that “only if Israel leaves Gaza and let Hamas survive there can be a deal.”
Yesterday a Saudi media published a list of 32 potential Israelis who can be released on the first stage of a deal. Israeli media went crazy. Office of the Prime Minister said that they didn’t get this list and it looks like a list that we gave Hamas months ago.
-Hamas published a propaganda video with a hostage young female slodier talking and blaming Israel. The family asked not to publish so it was not circulating. Apparently she looked terrified and shaky.
-The reason that the hostages are not released is that Biden forced us to give humanitarian aide to Hamas. Half of the hostages were released when we started a siege on Hamas at the beginning of the war. He stopped critical munitions and equipment and threatened us with the UN every step of the way. Now the clock is ticking for Trump’s Inauguration.
There is a 5 million dollars reward and a flight for anyone in Gaza who would provide information that will help release hostages. No one came forward. Even Blinken two days ago in a rare moment of truth said that the pressures that they applied against Israel was the reason why Hamas wouldn’t release hostages. They thought that the US would force Israel to stop the war and retreat. So they thought time is on their side. Soon the hostages will be returned. Trump will work with Israel to actually do what must be done to get them back.
Shalom and God bless Israel and America.
Continued prayers for Israel and her people… and for somehow a resolution that will hold to the endless conflict
Amen.
David,
Really appreciate these comprehensive and understandable reports you prepare for us. And, please – let your vacationing IDF soldiers know that the United States will welcome them with open arms………after January 20th.
Thank you.
I don’t understand how so much munitions are still there? The funding must be astronomical while the people live in poverty, and yet they defend the people starving them. They believe it’s others doing it.
America is very close to this with the censorship and propaganda, few know any truth and nobody knows all of it. Even f it was told nobody would believe it.
From reports I’ve been hearing, Hamas is being resupplied with munitions smuggled through the humanitarian food aid programs from surrounding countries. Maybe that is why the Biden administration has taken the stance to fully support Hamas? Israel has been under severe threats from the US since the massacre took place on October 7, 2023 and the pressure has remained throughout the current administration through a promise of hostage negotiations w/ Blinken. Blinken has tried to make Israel submit to a 2-state solution by not supplying the weapons that were needed to get those hostages returned.
Blinken’s stunning confession
Whenever there has been public daylight between the U.S. and Israel, Hamas has pulled back from a ceasefire and release of hostages, the secretary said.
https://www.jns.org/blinkens-stunning-confession/
Note this excerpt:
Under harsh questioning from the Times’ anti-Israel reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro, Blinken revealed that U.S. pressure on Israel began immediately after Oct. 7, 2023, and became a central feature of U.S. policy in relation to the war from its very earliest days. From the outset, the provision of unlimited supplies to Gaza—euphemistically referred to as humanitarian aid—has been the constant focus of U.S. pressure on Israel.
It’s worse. Look at Iran. They suffer from energy shortages. Their power shuts off frequently yet they sit on one of the largest oil fields in the world. There were tunnels in Syria which the Iranian built with missiles manufacturing equipment inside which are tremendous. It must have been billions to build it. Hezbollah had something of the order of 150,000-200,000 rockets. A lot of it from Iran. It’s expensive. They are obsessed with destroying Israel at the expense of their own people. What they built in Yemen is also in the billions.
‘What Biden did when he lifted the sanctions on Iran when they were struggling to survive gave them hundreds of billions of dollars from oil sales to China etc… This resulted in 10/7. There is a direct relation. Hamas would have been in financial trouble.
The bottom line is something that a Westerner can’t easily grasp. It’s their Islamic views which motivates everything that they do.
They consider Israel and the US satanic factors that prevents world’s spread of Islam which means for them peace.

Ignacy Łukasiewicz
(1822-1882)
Polish engineer, businessman and inventor who built the 1st modern oil refinery and invented the kerosene lamp, dies at 59
Biography: Ignacy Łukasiewicz is one of the most important figures in the history of Polish industry and technology. He was born in 1822 in the village of Zaduszniki, in the Polish region of Galicia.
After completing his schooling, he worked in a pharmacy in the city of Lviv. He then went on to study chemistry in Vienna and Krakow. In 1845, he returned to Lviv and opened his own pharmacy.
In 1856, Łukasiewicz began experimenting with distilling petroleum, and by 1858 he had successfully produced kerosene. He then built the first refinery in the world to produce kerosene on an industrial scale.
Łukasiewicz’s kerosene was used to light the streets of Lviv, and later Warsaw and other Polish cities. It was also exported to other countries, including the United States.
Łukasiewicz’s work helped to transform Poland from a largely agricultural country into an industrial powerhouse. He is considered one of the most important innovators in the history of the oil industry, and his legacy continues to this day.

Nikola Tesla
(1856-1943)
Serbian-American physicist, electrical engineer and inventor who developed alternating current and the Tesla Coil, dies at 86
Biography: Nikola Tesla made pioneering contributions to the development of modern electricity. He is best known for his work on alternating current (AC) electrical systems and for his numerous inventions that shaped the 20th century, including the “Tesla coil.”
Tesla began his career in Europe, studying engineering and physics in the 1870s. He moved to the United States in 1884 and briefly worked for Thomas Edison. Their relationship soured due to disagreements over electrical systems, leading Tesla to set out on his own.
In 1888, Tesla developed the AC induction motor and related patents, which were licensed by Westinghouse Electric. This work formed the basis for the widespread adoption of AC power systems. Subsequently Tesla continued his research, conducting experiments with mechanical oscillators and electrical discharge tubes.
Tesla demonstrated one of the first radio-controlled boats in 1898, showcasing his forward-thinking approach to technology. He also pursued ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution. His ambitious Wardenclyffe Tower project, however, intended for intercontinental wireless communication, failed due to lack of funding.
Throughout his career, Tesla befriended notable figures such as Mark Twain, who praised Tesla’s induction motor. Tesla was also known for his public lectures and demonstrations, often amazing audiences with his inventions. He possessed an exceptional memory and spoke eight languages fluently.
In his later years, Tesla lived in New York hotels and adopted a vegetarian diet. He claimed to require minimal sleep, stating he only needed two hours per night. Tesla died in 1943 at the age of 86, alone in his hotel room.
In 1960, the scientific community honored him by naming the SI unit of magnetic flux density the “tesla.”
Thank you, MMW. Appreciate each addition to my education/knowledge.
James Burke’s Connections series also does an immense amount of dot connection for early inventors improving on prior inventions…. hence the connections name … exposes you to a great amount of “light bulb” moments of understanding.
He started them in the late 70’s & they still apply to this day. He made a new series in the last few years but I have not seen it as of yet. (I do not think he ever touched on this guy in particular tho)
Most of his series is on youtube.

This is a bit harsh but important. The hypocrisy of the world against Israel.

I left a comment in today’s article on EU not being happy with Elon Musk tinkering. The commenters on here Open thread are less cluttered and more focused on support, and I got carried away into spiritual introspection that is more appropriate on this thread, so I am copying a link to it.
I consider the Open Thread of CTH as sort of the back porch or den of the treehouse, where we can relax a little more, be a little more real, bring some burdens to share and be understood. A place where we are able to give and receive some more encouragement.
My work as a physician, and the paperwork and insurance BS required to connect into effective relationship with my patients, is made less relevant each day. As I was responding and reflecting, my comments morphed into a meditation of hope that I wanted share here.

Hum, for whatever reason, your link only takes me to the topic page, I do see that it has the comment # in it but for whatever reason does not work for either of your posts.

IDK if it may omit that before it adds a page 2 when you get the link.
MMW – TY for the direct link to the comment!
Doc, besides that comment being a most excellent comment under the EU-Musk article, IMHO you did not violate any topic-related “boundaries” of discussion in that introspective essay.
But I had missed it (and most everything else on CTH yesterday) and am most grateful you both mentioned it and linked to it from here today. 👍👍

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Tuesday, January 7, 2025
✟
“Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.”
Psalms 27:11 (KJV)
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
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.

In the misty morning – at the break of dawn;
With sleepy eyes and – muddy mind I fawn;
Send your assistance and blessing my way;
Dear Heavenly Father – teach me today!
I fall on my knees to give glory and praise;
I sing with the angels – our song we raise;
In thanksgiving – I thank You for all I have;
For Your comfort – consolation – and salve!

To be servant of all – just like You;
Help me to learn to be humble and last;
Help me let go of mistakes of the past!
Teach me compassion – for my neighbor today;
Help me understand – his distress – if I may;
Help me bring comfort – condolence to him;
Lift up his spirit – when his faith is slim!
Help me be more like You – assured in love;
With confidence in my Father above;
With trust in Your steadfast faithfulness;
With fidelity – teach me – gratefulness!
Teach me – to invite – the Spirit within;
Through repentance and grace – let Him in;
To guide and chide me – when I should fall short;
Help me – to His wisdom – quickly resort!
Teach me – not my will – but His will be done;
Through Him and with Him – the battle is won;
Teach me – acceptance – when I find it hard;
To repent – reconcile – and pride discard!
Teach me – patience – a gift of the Spirit;
A virtue through which – I can endear it;
Give me Grace to hang on – and persevere;
Through fasting and prayer – help me volunteer!
Teach me – hope – a gift – to which I must cling;
Patient hope – endurance – blessings will bring;
Goodness and longsuffering – grant me these;
Precious gifts of the Spirit – grant them please!
Teach me – faith – that I may share it with all;
To lighten the burden – what might befall;
Calm my fears – and brighten earthly sorrow;
Increase my faith – childlike trust in tomorrow!

TEACH US TO PRAY, LORD
Our hearts, minds, and souls are distressed
No wonder with daily life we are stressed
What the enemy has wrought upon us
Is nothing short of a binding truss
Whatever is sacred whatever is true
They have stripped and turned us blue
They have jailed the innocent and they beat
They have stoked the fire turned up the heat
And thus we come to Your Heavenly Throne
Begging for mercy Humbly to atone
We are drugged discouraged and drowned
While weak You are strong we cannot back down
Teach us to Pray, Lord – Teach us to Pray
Help us get through each troubling day
Raise up our spirits and Heal our bodies
Help us shake off these poorly clad shoddies
Give us the words pleasing to You
Help us speak victory out of the blue
Deliver us from all that is plaguing us
Break us free from this binding truss
Tether our words with the Word of God
Break our chains Let us not be flawed
Send us a prayer written by Your Scribe
Unite us together in Your Holy Tribe
We know not how to pray as we ought
The Spirit moans the battle is fought
Jesus gave us a prayer the best of all
Our Father in Heaven to Him we call
We pray on the Armor of God each day
To keep the enemy and his friends at bay
We feel protected by the Heavenly Host
The Army of Angels we need the most
Teach us to Pray, Lord – Teach us to Pray
Remind us to come to You ev’ry day
Help us to trust You with all of our hearts
Because it beckons to You and imparts
Our understanding is no match for Yours
Vengeance is Your way to fight the wars
Acknowledgement is critical as well
No one wants to end up in Hell
We thank You, Lord, for chatting with us
For clearing the air and silencing the fuss
To You, Lord, we give Honor and Praise
And Glory, Lord, for the rest of our days!

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve finished listening to this podcast and will listen to it again. It is one of the most important developments in the treatment of PTSD, drug addiction, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, depression, and anything in the sphere of psychotropic medications to alter or repair the human mind.
I thought I would stand, woot, and applause at the conclusion of this 2-hour presentation. This is worth contacting our representatives and demanding this initiative.
Give it a listen and GOD BLESS former Governor Rick Perry for giving this momentum (Why isn’t this guy a future Presidential contender??? I would love to see that ticket with maybe a Clay Higgins as a kick butt V.P.!!! Remind me why Rick isn’t a plausible and exciting contender for the future?)
Getting Ibogaine approved for medical use – approved in other countries, but not in the USA (yet). Must be medically administered by trained professionals with hospital privileges due to risk of cardiac response which can be mitigated with proper dosage and coupling with Magnesium.
Come on, Texas! Git ‘er done!
Rick Perry mandated HPV Vx for all TX girls to attend school while he was gov. – he facilitated the maiming & murdering of countless women & girls with that stroke of his pen.
I *Never* trust a pHARMa sycophant.
AmaraGrace,
Thanks for telling me. I didn’t know that. Didn’t make sense to me where he’d “gone”. I find high schools violating a students medical information privacy by publishing VAX records on high school transcripts especially egregious!!! Yeah, sure… no college is going to discriminate based upon someone’s vax status / sarc.
I am so sorry to hear this about the HPV vaccine. One can only hope that we can still attain medical breakthroughs from an industry who has lost all integrity and the trust of the American people. Tired of propping up industries that are “too big to fail” and making people all the more sicker for a profit. Do we have the cure to cancer but the cancer industry is too lucrative to favor saving lives?
Sad state of affairs.
Hi JWoo!
He also pushed hard to turn 281 into a toll road but the people pushed back harder and stopped it. So we finally have a freeway from 1604 N to Borgfeld Road in San Antonio but happened after a lot of delays due to the toll road fight. That and the HPV fiasco would be a definite NO on any presidential ambitions by the gov.
“… One can only hope that we can still attain medical breakthroughs from an industry who has lost all integrity and the trust of the American people….”
If you’re referring to the Vx industry, there has never been one iota of integrity, and all Trust from the American People has been misplaced from the start. That iteration of the Rockefeller ConMedpHARMafia cult has produced absolutely nothing but iatrogenesis & iatrogenocide.
*All* benefits have been privatized, and *all* risks have been socialized.
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”
Matthew 7:15
There are many Bible verses that reference “by their fruits ye shall know them” … all apply here.
Oh & yes, there are half a dozen cures for cancer – more preventions – all suppressed & villified as “quackery” by the Rockefeller system of MDs’ education & marketing.

EVENING PRAYERS
Does Pope Francis realize that apostasy and malice are not considered examples of Christian behavior?
“Pope Francis is appointing Cardinal Robert McElroy—a noted progressive cleric from San Diego—as the new Archbishop of Washington, D.C., succeeding Cardinal Wilton Gregory. Cardinal McElroy previously gained attention for his outspoken opposition to President Donald J. Trump’s policies regarding illegal immigration.
In addition, McElroy is known as an outspoken apologist for the LGBT community, even being accused of breaking with Church teachings on the subject.”

Blinken makes shocking admission about hostage deal
Caroline Glick’s “In-Focus”(Jan. 7, 2025 / JNS)
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken reveals the real reason why the hostages aren’t back home from Gaza; a soldier in the Israel Defense Forces narrowly escapes imprisonment in Brazil after an arrest warrant for “war crimes” is put out; and the U.S. presidential election results are ratified by Congress, officially confirming Trump’s return to the White House in less than two weeks.
JNS senior contributing editor Caroline Glick reveals what Trump needs to do to change course in Washington’s relationship with the Jewish state. All this and more on “In-Focus!”

DARK EAGLE – USA hypersonic missile test at Cape Canaveral.
The authorities claim the test was successful.
As with all gov’t announcements, we’ll wait and see what, or if, any of it is true.
Link:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/science/space/2024/12/12/u-s-military-launches-dark-eagle-hypersonic-missile-from-cape-canaveral-space-force-station-florida/76943770007/
If you’ve got a swimming pool at your house in Pacific Palisades …
… you also should have:
— Briggs and Stratton 3-1/2 hp “trash” pump (water pump)
— 10 ft intake hose
— 20 ft outlet/spraying hose and dispensing nozzle
— coupla 5-gal cans of gasoline
— Scuba tanks and backpacks
— full wetsuits, including gloves and hoods
Prior to fire arriving, spray down your entire house and property so they’re soaking wet … use city water as long as possible to save your pool water
If fire gets imminently on you, hop in the pool and continue your spraying operation from there
If fire sweeps your position, simply submerge while it sweeps across … it’ll only be a minute or so with the 65-mph winds
Emerge from underwater and continue spraying at any residual hotspots
Good luck
Say a prayer
Maybe a couple
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
