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 †

Howdy Garrison!
Howdy Gramps!!! 🙂
GOOD morning, my man Garrison. 😎
yowza…. ! Its cold
Really, really enjoyed this very talented gal.
Thank you.
-💞
Mornin’ dear Patience . . . 🙂 The Siccas guys really knocked it out of the park with this choice. You’re right. She’s very, very good.
Having a balmy morning here in Texas. The cold front arrives later today. Gotta make sure my pipes are dripping before it hits. Gonna be in the mid 20’s looks like.
🚰
Slow drip ; yes and open a vanity / sink door.
Stay well
Sink door open. Gas range burners going. Warm kitchen.
Mark 8:11-13
“The Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, asking him for a sign from heaven, to test him.
And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
And he left them, and getting into the boat again, he went across to the other side.”
Jesus, you cared for the hungry, for those who sought your word.
Those who tasted your Bread were never hungry again.
Those who sought your voice heard your Word.
When I look upon all the gifts of creation surrounding me,
I marvel not only at each of these, but at your love that allows me to experience this amazing life you’ve given me.
Random Akbar! | Frontpage Mag
It’s another random act of violence that has nothing to do with Islam
It’s another one of those “random” acts of violence..
“23-Year-Old Man Stabs 5 People in Austria, Killing 1 in What Police Describe as a Random Attack” – Associated Press
“A 23-year-old man stabbed five passersby in southern Austria on Saturday in what police said was a random attack that left a 14-year-old dead, and four others injured,” Voice of America.
What could possibly have caused this latest attack of entirely random violence for no reason at all?
You will be shocked to learn that the “23-year-old man” was actually a Syrian Arab Muslim migrant who shouted “Allahu Akbar.”
And he did it for the Islamic State.
So it’s another one of those “random” acts of violence by a Muslim “refugee” in Europe which seem to randomly happen every week.
This comes days after an Afghan Muslim refugee ‘randomly’ drove a car into people in Munich, Germany, from which a 2-year-old girl and her mother just died, another Afghan Muslim refugee stabbed a 2-year-old in a park.
It can’t be Islamic terrorism. It must all be random while the random perpetrators shout “Random Akbar”..
Seems pretty satisfied with himself.
This fine young man is the life he took, this is the trade the Communist Conspiracy made, willfully, knowingly, purposely:
Terrible!
Only 14 (heavy sigh)
Likely indoctrinated in his school to accept everybody… especially those posed for his destruction.
No… do not just accept everyone. God gives us Discernment for a reason. evil exists and it’s not acceptable and we should not coexist with it. Light drives out darkness… it doesn’t give it EBT benefits and free rent.
That cop shoulda shot the b@st@rd right between the eyes !!!
Was she even allowed to have the pistol loaded?
Regardless……yeah, he does look proud of himself.
And utterly unworried about her and the pistol.
She is required to protect HIS “rights”.

My brother was in the CT National Guard during the early 70’s riots in CT cities. The NG sent those kids out with rifles – but, no ammo! Wouldn’t want to hurt some savage throwing Molotov cocktails!
At that point in time. CT wasn’t quite as commie as it is now, and the parents of those young men brought ammo to their kids in the street – including my dad. Bravo!
In early ’71, I was at Ft. Devens, Ma. and I had to guard Finance building with only a tent peg! Not even an empty rifle!
Well, they had to have known your capabilities!
After all, in the Bible, Samson slew 1,000 men with the jawbone of a donkey.
Can you IMAGINE if he’d had a tent peg?!?
That’s a lot of faith the brass had in you!
Good on the parents who brought ammo, Corny. They tried to protect their kids.
The problems would have compounded immensely had they needed to fire, even in self defense.
Sending the National Guard out with arms and no ammo is making them less than irrelevant, it makes them targets for the mob as soon as they realize they have no ammo.
And that would be worse than not having them there to begin with.
It used to be, as I always understood it, that in Britain the police could be in a circumstance where they had arms, but no ammo.
This just begs for problems, especially nowadays.
Here in Texas being armed is legal. More people are discretely armed than one might think. I’ll admit I’m not always armed but, when I am armed, I never ever broadcast that fact. There’s a strong liklihood that in Texas someone actually would have shot that guy.
We need you here Garrison! Please, Always be armed – I carry 100% of the time, because the need to defend yourself doesn’t come with a warning. ❤️
Sigh . . . And every time I go to Lowe’s or Walmart and see the “clockers” outside looking for victims, I think exactly what you are talking about, dear lady.
How does one stab five people and have no blood on himself? I would be thinking he’d be covered.
Either way… no religion of PEACE lauds the killing of innocent people or the lying to manipulate them into placing themselves in danger. Their creed alone cries out fraud and contempt for man created in God’s Image.
I’m so OVER not calling a spade a spade. Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining.
Says a lot about Muzzies, no? Religion of peace? No, more a cult of violence!
Pa Hermit,
Anyone who can substantiate lying to create a false sense of security in their victim – should be horse whipped. Then expelled from our country. I’m down for tossing a whole buncha people outta here.
Perhaps they should be called faithful followers of the quran and hadith.
In short: murderous deceitful muzzies carrying out the instructions of their religion. ✝️

Mornin’ Patience.

Israel Update:
Gaza:
-As you know the 3 hostages returned last Saturday. Their condition looks better than the 3 before them.
The remaining of Phase 1:
2/20: 4 bodies of kidnapped people back to Israel.
2/22: 3 released alive. (Saturday).
2/27: 4 bodies of kidnapped people back.
By 3/8: the decade long hostages Abra Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed will be released, along with another 10/7 abductee alive.
The fate of the Bibas family doesn’t look good. Mother, baby and young child. The husband was released about a week ago. He is not believing Hamas and is hopeful. May God help him and his family. Israel is pushing for a faster exchange process and more hostages to be exchanged, even if it means extending the Phase 1 as to get a few more hostages.
-Egypt is freaking out about Trump’s plan for Gaza and so does Jordan. They both issued an alternative plan without displacing the Gazans. Pretty useless superficial plans.
The main interesting progress is that a Senior Hamas person in a meeting with Egyptians said that they “may be willing to hand over Gaza to the Palestinian Authority if their managers will remain in their positions or receive pensions.” Hamas is responding to Egyptian pressure that is a response to Trump’s new plan.
Note: The chances to disarm Hamas by diplomacy are very very slim.
The Palestinian Authority are Fake moderates. They also desire the destruction of Israel.
They educate children to be terrorists and they pay terrorists with blood on their hands.
-Bibi again promised that “Hamas will not be controlling Gaza and also the Palestinian Authority won’t.” He is saying also that he is “committed to Trump’s plan for Gaza”.
Bibi also said yesterday that he is “100% coordinated with Trump about everything”.
Note: The Biden Administration with the Globalists from the EU pushed for decades a Palestinian State under the PA. American money was used to train them and arm them too.
They (the PA) are doing artificial actions to pretend that they are “reformed”.
This is all a scam that some in the West and the far left of Israel may buy but not the majority.
We know who they are. I may assemble a video about them if it’s becoming a main subject matter. They are a part of the problem, not the solution. I am pretty sure that Trump understands it. But I am sure that Trump will examine this option as it is a part of the Second Phase of the deal which is supposed to end the war and return all the hostages and start the rebuilding of Gaza.
The problem with this phase is that Israel refuses to have Hamas left in power and armed, nor the PA. There are various forces involved including some inside Israel (media, the left, some center left, some in the IDF) who prefer to stop the war at any cost so long as we get the hostages back. Most of Israel will not agree to have Hamas left in Gaza in any form or name. Also note that Gaza is not only Hamas. There are a few terror organizations there.
-The shipment of the heavy bombs that Biden denied Israel arrived to Israel now. About 1,600 heavy bombs and bunker busters. Also the bulldozers are on the way. Trump is good for Israel.
Lebanon:
–Israel is supposed to withdraw all of Lebanon today. The problem is that the deal included that the Lebanese Army will take over and Hezbollah will not be armed in South Lebanon. We are still seeing violations and we just captured tones of explosives on a truck and we just blew up another tunnel. So this was supposed to be a Lebanese army job now.
The new President of Lebanon which Biden and his people pushed to office with a lot of money and pressure just said that “The Israeli enemy is not to be counted upon to withdraw as planned”. Notice the language, “Israeli enemy”, he speaks like Hezbollah.
-Israel coordinated with Trump’s people to keep 5 positions inside Lebanon until the time that the Lebanese Army will take over as expected. This is somewhat deceiving as four of the positions are only hundreds of meters from the border. I guess it’s a pressure on Lebanon to do their job, and it does give some points from which to observe the area.
But overall this deal was very aggressively forced on Israel by Biden and Israel should have used the support of Trump to hold South Lebanon and secure its border properly.
Eventually Hezbollah will likely be on our border again unless we go to war again.
Or unless things in Lebanon change, which is possible.
Judea and Samaria:
-The IDF is operating there. Many arrests and here and there a dead terrorist.
This is a drop in the sea. The West Bank (Judea and Samaria) is not less dangerous than Gaza aside for the lack of tunnels and rockets (there could be some tunnels but not much). It’s more populated than Gaza, the West Bank contains a bit over 3 million Arabs and 760,000 jews (250,000 of them in East Jerusalem that is usually considered a part of the West Bank). The numbers of Gazans is disputed. I would say 2 millions plus minus 200,000.
-Trump gave a hint that he may let Israel declare sovereignty over the West Bank (Judea and Samaria). He said that we “will hear about it shortly”. This could be a big deal. I bet that he is seriously considering it as some may call it “illegal” considering that the UN have other resolutions which are calling it “an occupied land”.
The truth is that it’s not an “occupied land” but a “disputed land”.
“Jews” are not new to “Judea”. In Hebron city of the West Bank there is a cave that contains according to tradition and writings, the burial place of Adam and Eve, Sarah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Lea, there is a tiny Jewish community there under tight IDF protection but there used to be a large Jewish community which was massacred in 1928.
There are the Dead Sea Scrolls in the West Bank (The oldest Biblical and other Hebrew Scriptures, 15,000 scrolls from before Christ and after), and of course East Jerusalem is the location of the First and Second temples and The Tower of David and numerous Jewish historical places and graves and communities.
Geographically East Jerusalem is in the West Bank but has its own disputed status, East Jerusalem has about 250,000 jews and some 370,000 Arabs. As I said, we were there first, they conquered and/or migrated to there and made sure that their holy mosque is on top of the Jewish temple.
We then were less when we were expelled by Rome and then started to come back again. As I said, a “disputed area.” If you ever travel to the area you see all the Jewish archaeological sites, from Jerusalem to Masada, to Jericho to the Scrolls to Hebron and much more.
By the way I just realized that the names below are all in Hebrew and trace back to Israel, usually things that happened in the Judea and Samaria or East Jerusalem area.
So the haters, if their name is below would be wise to know some history and Etymology
(The derivation of words):
Jacob, Issac, Sarah, Lea, Rebeca, David, Aaron, Adam, Asher, James (variation of Jacob), Noah, Ethan, Benjamin, Simon, Joseph, John (from Yohannan), Johnathan, Nathan, Eli, Elon, Emmanuel, Gabriel, Matthew, Anna, Elizabeth, Jessica, Judith, Maria, Ruth, Sharon, Tamar, Ariel, Jordan…
God bless you my friends.
David,
I can just about guaran-flipping-tee you that there are fewer living precious humans alive under the wonderful watchful care of your neighboring palestinian PUNKS than they say.
Brace for more sorrow and anger in the immediate days ahead. 👊✝️👊
Thanks.
Thank you for the report. Interesting and historical.
❤️
Now some hours later Hamas said that they will release all the 6 living hostages on Saturday. On Thursday they say that the Bibas family dead bodies will be returned with other bodies. For this accelerated exchange Israel agreed to let them enter thousands of mobile homes and a lot of heavy equipment (bulldozers). Apparently the mobile homes and bulldozers were in the writings of the deal (shame). They are not suppose to start reconstruction actions until ALL the hostages are back home.
We are not happy to see the mobile homes and bulldozers (the like of what they used to breach the fences on 10/7). Minus points to Bibi. If their war resumes those bulldozers much be blown up. The mobile homes should not be used to give homes to Hamas and its families, it should be restricted to humanitarian areas.
❤️ 🙏
🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
By the way, can you explain how do you manage to post images on this thread?
I use an App that I don’t like and looking first a better way.
Hi David
I’m laughing a bit because I am soooo unable to do most techie things. Probably the least adept in the Treehouse. I still havent mastered videos or linking anything.
But, I use post image for pictures I have stored in my phone(and often struggle with it).
I got directions from JWoo (thank you Woo) I’m hoping she will come to the fore or any other Treeper who gets this stuff so much better than I!
In the meantime I’ll search for the directions I printed out. Get back to you soon! ❤️
Hi Sis and Brother David,
I learned how to Post Images from Bruce (My Magic Wand). I’ll share what I know. Lady, I think your images may be set to “expire” which I never click on the option for the image to expire. If it’s on your phone, it may be a pre-set / autofill thing – or some-other-ma-jig in your cache that’s causing it to default to expire – which would explain the big bad blue boxes. Just a hypothesis.
Here’s what I know (this does not require a registration or login credentials):
Go to the website: https://postimages.org/
Select the drop down box to resize your image to 640 x 480 (message boards)
Next choose and expiry date -I just leave mine at no expiration because I have images uploaded that I don’t really care if they stay on the internet indefinitely
Click Choose Your Images and find the image you want to upload from your computer or phone photo gallery
When your image uploads – highlight with your mouse and Copy the “Direct Link” https link on the second option listed, and Paste it into your online post… leaving one space (carriage return) before and one space (carriage return) after the link address.
And wah-lah… you have Washington State Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and hopefully no blue boxes. But technology is only as good as the techno gods allow.
Tel Aviv. Just tested your imaging system. It works. Thank you.
Not mine, friend. I’m merely a tutor and spreader of knowledge. After I learn it, of course! What a picture!!!
Thanks
Typo: “first” = “for”.
David: Maquis provided this info just a few days ago and I copied it:
Images
postimages.org.
Just go there, click the upload image button, which will open a window on your device to select the image you wish to upload,
once that is done you will see your image on their site, with a list of available links to that image,
choose the second in the list, direct link,
all you have to do is click the button at the end of that and it will be copied to your clipboard,
then, come here, right click and choose paste and it will deposit that link here in your comment block,
the image will then populate after you post your comment.
Sorry – I Hear You Now – I duplicate posted. I hadn’t scrolled down to read all the comments – so my apologies for the double post. You’re the bestest to help out, friend. Big hugs atcha!
Thanks.

Good morning annie !!
The Beatles played at the former thoroughbred race track in East Boston, Suffolk Downs, when I was an infant. My parents house was about a quarter mile from an entrance to the parking lot, and told my brothers and I when we got older and started listening to The Beatles, that they could hear the music and the roar of the crowd that day.
ed
Great memory for your folks.
My girlfriend saw the Beatles in NYC (MSG, if I remember). She somehow managed to get to the Beatles dressing room and retrieved a used coffee cup!
Patty was 18 y/o at the time and in the throes of metastatic cancer. By that time, she had been through an amputation and the loss of a lung. I have yet to meet a sweeter more beautiful soul. I literally never heard her complain about her pain.
When I hear myself whining about aches and pains, I think of Patty – and try to stop!
My friend died at the age of 20 having outlived the predictions for 8 years! Patty had eloped with her boyfriend about 10 months prior to her death, and I know her husband still had the coffee cup then – maybe still. ❤️

Archbishop Vigano on President Trump
“Abp. V: The Trump administration is well aware of two things. First, there is a subversive supranational power that constitutes a concrete threat to the sovereignty of nations and to all humanity. Second, there is a group of people and agencies that support this power because they derive an advantage from it in terms of power and money.
Cutting off funds to the accomplices of the globalist criminal system and its deep power means depriving the elite of the instrument of control and propaganda. Not even Judas would have betrayed Christ without receiving the 30 pieces of silver from the Sanhedrin: without the pretium sanguinis, the incentive to commit crime is also lost, and with it the blackmail of those who are said to have committed it.
An excellent move, therefore, which is already having significant repercussions at the global level, has been the interruption of USAID’s funding, accompanied by the grotesque jeremiads of those who have been dutifully deprived of it (I am thinking of those of activist Father James Martin, S.J.).”
I am not catholic but this Archbishop has a firm grasp of the world situation
Oh yes. I’m a solodfan pf his, and know for a fact that Betsy Jones & Menagerie are both very strong “fans” of Vigano for his no-holds-barred criticism of the globalists, the communist Pope Francis (Bergoglio), and Vigano’s steady, well-articulated support of President Trump.
Thank you Lord!

We are all having our minds blown by the ever-increasing amounts of tax-payer monies that been thrown into the gaping maw of government spending.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/whoa-doge-reveals-4-7-trillion-taxpayer-money/
It’s not a question of a simple opportunistic pilfering of the public purse. It is a culture of moral rot, of depravity, that declares itself both entitled to covet, then steal, what is not rightly one’s own, as well as to remain unaccountable for those sins.
It’s not a government thing. It’s a spiritual thing.
When people decide to use what they’ve grown up/surrounded themselves within – their culture – as the excuse to cover their sins and unrighteousness, this is the end product: graft, debauchery, and, ultimately, murder to cover it all up.
Our political and social issues right now are the product of stripping God out of our society, and stripping away His sovereignty to govern the basic functions of how we govern ourselves (Commandments 5-10, Exodus 20:12-17).
Our spiritual issues right now are the product of conflating our sundry cultures within our religious institutions with “being right with God”. To say we are not included in Christ’s words to the Jewish Pharisees of the day, that the outward appearance looks beautiful and right, while inwardly we are full of rottenness, is to deceive ourselves.
What has happened in our government and society is what happens every time people think they can express the carnal nature in the name of “rightness”, justify it, and seek to cover it up.
This thought should humble us. Spurgeon’s words are appropriate here: “There, but for the grace of God, go I.”
Facing the situation before us is daunting. Facing the situation within is even more so.
Positing the concluding thought: no matter the area of life, none of us escape accountability. Thinking we are right to indulge our carnal side in the name of what is right within our own eyes will inevitably lead us down a slippery path.
Absolutely
prayer request.
I have a wonderful, caring Angel friend who slipped on the ice last week and hurt her back on concrete steps. She says her MRI imaging is bad.
I sent her the 3 lovely Angels 0f Love, Hope and Joy to work on easing the pain.
Methinks she also needs a boost from your powerful love
Please
-‘feeling’ optimistic
✝️
PRAYERS UP – 🙏🙏🙏
My honor, ms Idaho. 🙏
So very sorry for your friend, ms Idaho. Will certainly pray for her. Not knowing the condition of her MRI, but having had some rather difficult journeys pain-wise… might I suggest a little contrast therapy for her? It is what sports doctors use to heal impact injuries.
15 minutes ice
20 minutes moist heat (thick hand towel – wet it – wring it out – place in microwave for a few moments to heat it up)
15 minutes ice
Repeat. The ice helps the swelling and pain. The moist heat increases the blood circulation to the injured area to aide in healing faster.
I pray her back injuries fully healed and her good health restored. Also, Magnesium supplements help rid of lactic acid which can also help with pain reduction in stiff and aching muscles. High Omega 3 – 4 Grams per day – is a good thing, too.
thank you for both prayers and suggestons
Praying for your friend with Love. May she heal quickly and fully. May it be so in His will. Amen
thank you
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, February 18, 2025
✟
“Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)
Commentary for Proverbs 4
14-27 The way of evil men may seem pleasant, and the nearest way to compass some end; but it is an evil way, and will end ill; if thou love thy God and thy soul, avoid it. It is not said, Keep at a due distance, but at a great distance; never think you can get far enough from it. The way of the righteous is light; Christ is their Way, and he is the Light. The saints will not be perfect till they reach heaven, but there they shall shine as the sun in his strength. The way of sin is as darkness. The way of the wicked is dark, therefore dangerous; they fall into sin, but know not how to avoid it. They fall into trouble, but never seek to know wherefore God contends with them, nor what will be in the end of it. This is the way we are bid to shun. Attentive hearing the word of God, is a good sign of a work of grace begun in the heart, and a good means of carrying it on. There is in the word of God a proper remedy for all diseases of the soul. Keep thy heart with all diligence. We must set a strict guard upon our souls; keep our hearts from doing hurt, and getting hurt. A good reason is given; because out of it are the issues of life. Above all, we should seek from the Lord Jesus that living water, the sanctifying Spirit, issuing forth unto everlasting life. Thus we shall be enabled to put away a froward mouth and perverse lips; our eyes will be turned from beholding vanity, looking straight forward, and walking by the rule of God’s word, treading in the steps of our Lord and Master. Lord, forgive the past, and enable us to follow thee more closely for the time to come.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ABUSED, MISSING, AND TRAFFICKED CHILDREN

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.

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Is anyone else having trouble watching warroom.org this morning??
Hi Maggie
I watch War Room on Real America’s Voice – no problem this am. Don’t know about the website.
(RAV streams free)
We have two big pots of Sherry’s Beef & Vegetable soup on the stove. Some for Steve & Betty and some for our neighbors two doors down to the south, Todd & Terry. Tod & Terry lost their youngest daughter to suicide three days ago. The girl, who has 3 kids from different fathers, was living with them and got violent. Todd called an ambulance and she was taken to the psych ward. She killed herself by hanging later that day. Obviously they failed to observe her properly.
Todd and Terry are great people and their other kids are doing fine.
😢- prayers up for Todd and Terry. 🙏
You are a true friend, rah. ❤️
Oh Rah,
I am so, so very sorry.
Father God,
Touch this gentle family with Your Loving Hand and draw them closer to Your Heart. What a terrible, terrible tragedy to lose a daughter, mother, and friend. Father, set right within us Your Holy Spirit to keep us all in sound mind and sanity as we watch the bleakness of these days where satan is throwing all and the kitchen sink at us to distract us, discourage us, and distance us from You. Help us to see Your Glory and Holiness… and deeply devoted Love for us.
This life is not easy – it is harder for those who stand with courage. Let us never take our eyes off the prize of the work You have set before us until You call us to our Eternal Home.
Father, I pray for the soul of the young woman. Bless her, Father, and accept her into Your Care. Bless her children as they grow and carry this history with them and may they bloom in the knowledge that they, too, are loved. the devil was just too strong on this one and Lord, he seeks to prowl and devour us. May the children grow strong and lead productive and fulfilling lives with good health and happy families that their Momma would be proud of them. We all have choices.
Bless Todd and Terry as they mourn. Thank you for Rob and Sherry and their time of ministering to the family.
We pray this in Jesus’s Holy and SAVING Name, AMEN
Amen
✝️
Amen!
Amen

Michelangelo
(1475-1564)
Italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet of the High Renaissance (David, Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel), dies at 88
Biography: Considered one of the greatest artists of all time and a leading artist during the Italian Renaissance. Michelangelo was a painter, sculptor, architect and poet. Considered the original ‘Renaissance Man’ Michelangelo’s career developed alongside of, and was often compared to, that of his elder rival Leonardo da Vinci.
Born within the Republic of Florence, Michelangelo began his career as an apprentice to Florentine artist Domenico Ghirlandaio. Two of his great sculptural pieces were completed before he was 30 years of age – the Pieta, now in now in Saint Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City, and his statue of David for the city of Florence.
Michelangelo is also celebrated for his paintings in the Sistine Chapel within the Vatican. The ceiling, on which he worked for four years, depicts scenes from the bible’s Book of Genesis. He later competed The Last Judgement on the back wall.
Michelangelo’s architectural work comes mostly from his later career. It reached its peak when he was appointed architect of St Peter’s Basilica in Rome in 1546. Building on the work of earlier architects for the church, such as Bramante and Bernini, Michalangelo was responsible for realizing its layout, including its massive dome, the tallest in the world.

Charles Lewis Tiffany
(1812-1902)
American jeweler and founder of Tiffany & Co, dies at 90
Biography: Charles Lewis Tiffany along with his friend John B. Young established the jewelry company Tiffany in 1837 as Tiffany, Young and Ellis. They settled in Manhattan selling imported high class glassware, silverware jewelry and porcelain.
The company began designing its own jewelry in the 1850s, relocating to Fifth Avenue and opening branches in Paris and London. Tiffany adopted the British silver standards, establishing the term “sterling” in the US. By 1858 he had sole ownership of the company. His son Charles Comfort Tiffany succeeded him as director and led the company to become one of the leading proponents of the Art Nouveau style.

Robert Oppenheimer
(1904-1967)
American theoretical physicist known as the father of the atomic bomb (Manhattan Project), dies of throat cancer at 62
Biography: J. Robert Oppenheimer was an American theoretical physicist and the scientific director of the Manhattan Project during World War II. His leadership in the development of the atomic bomb earned him the nickname “father of the atomic bomb.”
Born into a wealthy Jewish family, Oppenheimer displayed exceptional academic talents from a young age. After completing his bachelor’s degree in chemistry at Harvard University in 1925, he went on to obtain his doctorate in physics from the University of Göttingen in 1927, studying under Max Born.
By 1936, he had become a full professor at the University of California, Berkeley, where he made notable contributions to quantum mechanics and nuclear physics, notably the Born–Oppenheimer approximation and research on electrons and positrons.
Oppenheimer’s scientific prowess led to his selection as the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory in 1942, part of the top-secret Manhattan Project tasked with creating the first nuclear weapons. His leadership was integral to the project’s accomplishment, culminating in the Trinity test, the world’s first detonation of an atomic device, in July 1945. This test was a prelude to the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August that year, which remain the only times nuclear weapons have been used in conflict.
Following World War II, Oppenheimer took on the role of director at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and became the chair of the General Advisory Committee of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. He used his position to advocate for the international control of nuclear energy and controversially spoke out against the hydrogen bomb’s development.
Oppenheimer’s advocacy for arms control, combined with earlier ties to the Communist Party USA, led to an intense political controversy that resulted in the revocation of his security clearance in 1954, effectively severing his connections to the government.
Despite this setback, Oppenheimer continued to educate, write, and contribute to the field of physics until he was awarded the Enrico Fermi Award in 1963, symbolizing a belated acknowledgement of his scientific contributions. He passed away from throat cancer in 1967.
Throughout his life, Oppenheimer’s work intersected with that of other luminaries such as Enrico Fermi, Ernest Lawrence, and Edward Teller, and he left a lasting impact on theoretical physics, including the first theoretical description of black holes and neutron stars.
For those of us with little wee ones around… grown daughter and I were eating lunch today and this song popped into my mind from wayyyyy back when.
Our little barn cat adoptee is almost fully grown but she’s still a petite but sturdy little thing. Savannah calls Maggie Moo our little “nugget” and was all sing song and syrupy… well, brought this to mind.
I played this for her when she was 2 years old or less. She’s 19 now, hasn’t heard it in years… but she suddenly started humming it and she found it on YouTube and sent it to me.
So sending it you as a drive-you-crazy ear worm… but I just LOVE IT. Sorry, not sorry!!! 👶 ❤️ 🍼
We need to play this often for the sweet little babies in our lives.
I caught daughter’s cold and so propped up at the kitchen table, I taught her to use the pressure cooker and make bone broth from scratch. Someday, she’ll make it to soothe her own family… and she’ll cuddle her wee ones to this song.
Happy nourishing times.

WOW 🚨 For everyone who still thinks “cloud seeding” weather modification is just a conspiracy theory…..
Here you go: They’re showing you exactly how it works, custom installed switches in the planes and then showing the chemicals being activated and sprayed into the air via wing-mounted burner/nozzles…….
Weather modification by cloud seeding is not the same thing as what the chem trail conspiracy theorists have been claiming is going on.
The UAE has been doing cloud seeding for years to increase rainfall.
I think we in the US needs to experiment with it more for hurricanes. Though the original experiment/testing was deemed unsuccessful, people like Joe Bastardi and the late great Bill Gray, the father of modern tropical weather forecasting have been proponents of trying to weaken the storms by cloud seeding to weaken the storms. It think it’s a matter of when and where. Disruption of the eye replacement cycle is the key.
NOAA denies it has any program for seeding.
The far left is fretting over the loss of 1.5 trillion tax dollars over the next ten years if Social Security benefits return to being non taxable. We never paid any income taxes on Social Security benefits prior to 1984. It seems fair that some of our benefits should be taxable but the calculation should be brought into the 21st century. A $25,000 threshold for single taxpayers and a $32,000 threshold for married taxpayers were both introduced in in 1984 to determine how much of the benefit might be taxable. Unfortunately, despite 40 years of inflation, those two thresholds remain stuck at $25,000 and $32,000. Maybe it’s time to double those thresholds and see where it takes us.
Taxed on a tax because Congress always needs more money to spend on themselves.
