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 †

Comment from the Siccas Guitars Youtube post . . .
“Absolute excellence! Your playing is superb. The way you make all those guitars sing; your touch is like magic. Your tremolo is perfect. Beatrix you are in a category all your own. Thank you for this Siccas concert.”
This is our customary Treeper Church Sunday benediction. We post it here as a way of inviting our friends and visitors to experience the soulful experience of solace. This is intentionally a quiet place. We hope the presence of Our Lord will inspire a little faith. Our Lord loves us and want’s us to be a part of His Family. All it takes to do this is our personal acceptance of Him. Do this and you are in . . .
Thank you Garrison, for gifting us all with such a wonderful start to our Sunday
You are most welcome, benzy. It just seems ‘right’ to do this. Be blessed, friend.

oh my goodness Garrison what a beautiful selection of music.
a wave of peace entered. thank you dear treeper. Peace
Thanks, friend light. Every time I listen to the The Parting Glass, the words just seem more perfect for the closing of our Treehouse week. Same for the wonderful music supplied by Voces8. Having seen them perform in person I am even more impressed with their virtuosity. Truly great musicians. 🙂
Sir, I am not familiar with this symbol. Can you explain it for me? Thanks
I hope this quote helps.
There are other explanations available that I may find in books here. I still favor books.
“On icons, this Christogram may be split: ‘ΙϹ’ on the left of the image and ‘ΧϹ’ on the right. It is sometimes rendered as ‘ΙϹ ΧϹ ΝΙΚΑ’ (Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς νικᾷ), meaning ‘Jesus Christ Conquers’. ‘ΙϹΧϹ’ may also be seen inscribed on the Ichthys.”
Thank you sir!

It’s not just about Israel
https://rumble.com/v6xdc6s-its-not-just-about-israel..html
Wow! Forget the need for mental institutions, these people need to live on stupid farms, work the soil and feed themselves. They’ll be too tired for stupidity to enter their minds. Hungry for food, not propaganda.
It appears like Israel is having another front now with Europe. Germany announced an arms embargo on weapons that may be used in Gaza. Many others want to announce a Palestinian State in September. It’s very unsafe for Israelis in Europe.
As we say: “We got through Pharaoh, we’ll get through this too”.
About the EU:
https://rumble.com/v6xdv02-europe-is-falling-apart..html
The EU nations lack the kind of leadership to deal with their muslim immigrant populations, most of whom come from countries where extreme ethnocentrism is commonplace. So, in coming to the EU countries their experience of new cultures is unerringly hostile. The EU leaders—progressives all—are now too terrified of these new immigrants to move against them. They will easily sacrifice Israel to maintain their illusion of stability.
There a lot of treachery about right now. What should be done? Listening to idiots claim that the UK will be ‘conquered’ by a bunch of 3rd world barbarians is illustrative of their kind of of cartoonish posturing. Obviously the EU demographic experiment was a dismal failure. Trump’s solution, although drastic and expensive, is the obvious solution. Illegal immigrants, immigrants who are anti-American, who are criminals, have to go.
.
Good post!
The Progressives ruined Europe with their stupid ideology.
Here is the leader of the UK a couple of days ago. Should I use the word idiot?
https://rumble.com/v6xdzik-uk.-yes-they-actually-elected-him.-no-joke..html
Got it. Don’t say anything that might offend the muslims. In fact we’ll just make even casual critical email exchanges on social media illegal but only for non-muslim populations. As victims, they have every right show anger toward their EU oppressors. Free, Free Palestine!!!
David, if I were Jewish and lived in Israel, I would be doing what I could to keep my leaders from giving away land that belonged to the Jewish nation. I reject any false philosophy that seeks to disenfranchise Israel in any way, period.
Secretary Rubio is one of our better friends.

They complained about starvation. Really?
https://rumble.com/v6xczp6-hunger-in-gaza..html
Funny. Israel had only two executions in its history. One for treason by a firing squad in 1948 and one is the Nazi Adolf Eichman responsible for the extermination of Jews in Europe, he was hanged. I know it is a serious subject but the video below is funny. About the lack of experience. On the matter. Double click on the screen to be able to see the subtitles.
Around A.D. 58, the Apostle Paul explains how the person who accepts salvation exclusively through the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and not by exerting any personal effort, actually has Jesus Christ residing inside of him or her by the grace of God:
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
I am saved by Grace alone, thru Faith alone, in Christ alone. May my works give evidence of that fact.
Good morning. Perspective on air power. One reason why Trump says we have a military 2nd to none with no other country even close.

Next time you hear that the use of the A-bombs was not necessary, think about this. This is just one way they planned that the invasion of Japan would have be supported by air.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5Y_8iUJrD1A?feature=share
Against an entrenched, well armed Japanese army any traditional invasion of the home islands would have resulted in massive US casualties. After the island-hopping campaigns, the Japanese were well acquainted with American tactics. They knew what was coming and were just waiting for us . . .
Sure would have, but the Japanese casualties would have been many times worse Just has they had been in all the island battles before where 10 Japanese dead for each American KIA was not unusual staring with Guadalcanal. And I’m not just talking people being killed by direct action, starvation and disease would take their toll also.
Like I’ve pointed out before. From mid 1944 on the average Japanese civilian’s caloric intake was 20% below that required for mere sustenance. They were gathering and boiling acorns.
I read at one point England only had enough food for one more week.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

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 Sunday, August 10, 2025
✟
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.”
Hebrews 13:5 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR HEBREWS 13
“Exhortations to various duties, and to be content with what Providence allots. (1-6) To respect the instructions of faithful pastors, with cautions against being carried away by strange doctrines. (7-15) Further exhortations to duties, that relate to God, to our neighbour, and to those set over us in the Lord. (16-21) This epistle to be seriously considered. (22-25)
1-6 The design of Christ in giving himself for us, is that he may purchase to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works; and true religion is the strongest bond of friendship. Here are earnest exhortations to several Christian duties, especially contentment. The sin opposed to this grace and duty is covetousness, an over-eager desire for the wealth of this world, with envy of those who have more than ourselves. Having treasures in heaven, we may be content with mean things here. Those who cannot be so, would not be content though God raised their condition. Adam was in paradise, yet not contented; some angels in heaven were not contented; but the apostle Paul, though abased and empty, had learned in every state, in any state, to be content. Christians have reason to be contented with their present lot. This promise contains the sum and substance of all the promises; “I will never, no, never leave thee, no, never forsake thee.” In the original there are no less than five negatives put together, to confirm the promise: the true believer shall have the gracious presence of God with him, in life, at death, and for ever. Men can do nothing against God, and God can make all that men do against his people, to turn to their good.”
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Verse of the day – August 10, 2025 | Colossians 4:5-6
____________________________
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

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
D01: 07/25/2023
SIMPLE SERENITY
When searching for simple serenity
The falsehood mask obscures verity
No way to determine or to perceive
The secret agenda there to deceive
What clues are provided for clarity
When relevance becomes a rarity
Has something been lost that cannot be found
Does the back and forth go round and around
We can’t move on when we do not let go
Of memories past tugging to and fro
We cannot go back to where we began
We must decide to move forward again
There is a direct path and place to be
That God has decided for you and me
To serve Him in this world until such time
We have completed our duty divine
It might not be what we wanted to do
Or probably something we even knew
Our lives are not written for us to view
To modify beforehand in the queue
What does it take to keep on going
How can we stop this to and froing
It takes faith in what can never be seen
To quit returning to where we have been
God wants us to prosper and live our lives
Free and happy and no longer take dives
Into a world of pestilence and pain
With no hope of happiness ever again

So now India has released this image of the Apollo 11 site. Think it will change any of the knuckle heads minds? Of course not.

I rely on camera in auto mode, a long lens so I don’t have to get out of my seat😅, and a gracious God that lets his gorgeous creatures come my way.
Beautiful!!
I’ve had the joy of watching a piliated woodpecker mom feeding her two youngsters at my suet feeder this summer. Unfortunately, I’m not a photographer.
The best part of bird feeding and watching.
Witnessing mom and pop bring the fledglings around. Showing them the ropes…the bird cafeteria.

Matins & Divine Liturgy | 10 Aug 2025
St. Mary Orthodox Church, Wichita Kansas
As a boy, I recognized that the beautiful natural world and abundant life were created and felt awe, joy and appreciation. As a teenager, I spoke, from my heart, to God to express my gratitude for his creation, my life, and sending his son Jesus for our redemption; to ask forgiveness of my sins through Jesus and repent; to make my heart pure for Jesus to live and shine his light, truth and courage through me; and guide my life. The next day, I arrived home to find that my father had left. I felt stunned but also calm. One year later, I was injured playing a sport, ending all school athletics for me. I began to live only within the confines of the tangible world and popular culture while neglecting my spiritual dimension, drifting away from who I am as a person with little inner happiness. My life was off course and going nowhere. Then, I received a tremendous gift of love from my future wife coming into my life. Soon after, a phone call with my mom regarding the continuing bad effects of their divorce caused me to clearly see and feel the true sadness of my family break-up, and I sobbed uncontrollably, finally releasing my pent-up feelings. I earnestly prayed to renew my relationship with Jesus/God and specifically and clearly asked for guidance for my life. A few weeks later, my future wife asked me what I really wanted to become. The answer came up out of me as if it had been there all along waiting to be acknowledged as though I had been hardwired to follow a course but was only then realizing it. From that point forward, all I needed to do was my best through the challenges and sometimes struggles that awaited me, and I was provided with the strength and support to succeed in a career and provide for my future family. During our wedding ceremony at the church, I was unexpectedly overcome by what I believe was the Holy Spirit, the power and intensity of which felt stronger than love. Witnessing my children being born granted a rare glimpse into the miracle and truth of creation, with no faith needed, and that love is the most powerful force on earth as I would give up my life, in an instant, without any hesitation, to protect my child and spouse. When each of two elderly family members passed away, there was a surprising sense of peace, a holy peace, that permeated the entire room at the moment of death, and for several minutes after, that all those present felt and acknowledged in whispers. Right after my mom’s funeral driving home, I received a clear, telepathic communication in her voice that said, “It’s okay honey, I’m alright”, which is exactly the way she would say it. Looking back, it is clear to me that a path was provided for my life that was beyond chance or self-realization. The contrast between before versus after receiving the gift of my wife, renewing my relationship with Jesus/God and asking for guidance was too great to attribute to me alone or random events.
Hey everyone, I put up a new video on my youtube channel “Dirt Road Bushcraft”. I’m very new to creating videos and they look pretty rough, I expect to get better as I keep trying. My reward is that it gives me the extra motivation to get outdoors and enjoy it and to live my best life. It is also a great way to get away from politics, well mostly at least.
This video is about the dirt road numbering system used in the national forest and a few other dirt road things.
Very interesting!
Never knew any of that, on the numbering.
I did a thumbs up (didnt know it would let me w/o a disquis acct).
Also laughed at the signage for detroit at the end (that’s where I am).
Very beautiful country!
Thanks for the thumbs up. Which Detroit?
I thought there was only “the” detroit (haha), the one in michigan.
but now that you ask, it may explain why the sign indicated it only being a short distance.
I was confused by it, but it flashed by without me really thinking about it till just now. (I think it said 30something)
There’s a Detroit Lake here in Oregon with the small town of Detroit near by it.
Oh! never knew that either 🙂

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
Free with ads R
Steve Carell and Keira Knightley lead an all-star cast in this clever and heartwarming comedy that explores the crazy things people do when humanity’s last days are at hand. Set in a too-near future, two neighbors, Dodge (Steve Carell) and Penny (Keira Knightley), react in their own unique ways to the announcement that a 70-mile-wide asteroid is en route to the Earth. He wants to return to his first love. She just wants to get back to her family. As the unlikely companions’ respective journeys converge, their outlooks – if not the world’s – brighten in surprising and hilarious ways. The feature directorial debut of screenwriter Lorene Scafaria (Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist), Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is being hailed as “funny and wonderfully poetic! Steve Carell and Keira Knightley are superb”.(Claudia Puig, USA Today)

Nikki’s swelling has reached her lower abdomen. Tomorrow I’m getting the suitcases down and we’ll pack what we can. The call is going to come soon. I feel it in my bones. Our house/dog sitter is on standby. I will drive straight through to get there when we go.
GOD GO WITH YOU BOTH – PRAYERS UP – 🙏 🙏 🙏
HELP IN DISTRESS
Jesus said: “I will be with you always!”
And thus – He is worthy of – all praise;
When we are weak – it is He who is strong;
He will not abandon us – all day long!
We go day to day stressed and strained;
All helter-skelter – our efforts restrained;
By one failure and foible after another –
The buffoonery boggles – sorely smother!
We start and stop till eventually;
We’re just spinning our wheels unusually;
What did we forget to consider or try?
This is not working – but we don’t know why!
Did we pray and ask and did we receive?
His gifts, fruits, and wisdom – did we conceive?
Or did we just think we could do without?
Ask not a question or wonder or doubt?
After all, we are smart – we can do it ourselves;
We can order and sort and arrange on the shelves;
Why would we need any assistance at all?
We’re ready, willing, able – to answer the call!
When we try to do anything on our own;
We reap only partially what we have sown;
Without Jesus Christ – our success is nil;
When we attempt to succeed – by our own will!
Through prayerful reflection – dedicate your day;
Relinquish your effort – send your strife His way;
Prayerfully – carefully – just listen to Him;
Without His assistance – your chances are slim!
So next time you venture out into the world;
Take care to pray, first – lest you be unfurled;
Through the self and its plagues of centeredness;
You get dire deception and pigheadedness!
Remember what Jesus has promised He’d do;
To always be with you – send His Spirit, too;
When you are distraught and distracted someday;
Your Help in Distress – is the Truth, Life, and Way!

Rah, I suggest you go now. Time is not on your side. It is headed for her liver & kidneys. Same thing happened with my mother with breast cancer. Ask them to check her urine color. If dark or darkening, you don’t have much time. My prayers go with you.
Thank you.
Prayers, rah . . . Its a good thing you can be there, my friend.

Truth:
Empowered Women?
you wanna watch those Wonder Woman movies, I think the 2nd one (Wonder Woman 1984?) the open shows the women competing in their olympics-style competition and is a nice portrayal of their women-only island
one sequence shows Wonder Woman as a young girl in competition and she’s tempted to take dishonorable shortcuts to win and gets caught and scolded for it
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
