The Still Hour – Saturday’s Verses and Prayers
Treepers Prayers and Prayer Requests
No matter what life throws at you, despair not, for the Lord they God is with you.
Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.
Jeremiah 32:17

Never give up!
Alex Zanardi stood on top of the racing world.
A Formula 1 driver.
A two-time CART champion.
A man who had already conquered dreams most people never even dare to chase.
Then…
One crash changed everything.
Twisted metal.
Screaming sirens.
Silence.
Doctors weren’t talking about racing anymore.
They were talking about whether he would survive.
When he woke up…
Both of his legs were gone.
The world wrote his ending that day.
Everyone believed the story was over.
Everyone…
Except him.
There were no cameras.
No cheering crowds.
No trophies waiting.
Only pain.
He lifted his arms.
Pain.
One more repetition.
More pain.
One more.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Thousands of repetitions.
Thousands of moments where nobody was watching.
He wasn’t fighting another driver.
He was fighting yesterday’s version of himself.
Most people never saw the hardest race of his life.
Because it happened long before he ever reached another starting line.
Years later…
Paralympic Games.
Silence.
Three…
Two…
One…
The gun fires.
He explodes forward.
Not with legs.
With relentless will.
Every turn of the handcycle buried another impossible.
Every painful stroke became an answer to everyone who said it couldn’t be done.
The finish line gets closer.
The crowd rises.
Gold.
Then another gold.
Then another.
Then another.
Four Paralympic gold medals.
The crash took his legs.
But it never took his courage.
It never took his purpose.
It never took his dream.
And on that finish line…
Alex Zanardi didn’t just win a race.
He proved something far greater.
The strongest part of a human being…
…has never been the body.
It’s the soul.
More large scale fraud of taxpayers…
Nick Shirley personally confronted an “adult daycare” to their faces in NYC with THOUSANDS of GHOST MEMBERS despite receiving taxpayer funds — they instantly PANICKED
SHIRLEY: “It’s public tax dollars you are receiving. Do you gave 7,000 members?”
STAFF: “No.”
SHIRLEY: “So, why did you bill for 7,000?”
“Are you committing fraud?”
STAFF: “Leave, sir. LEAVE!”
SHIRLEY: “We are sick of people defrauding our taxes.”
“$12.9 MILLION dollars.”
Thank you Harrison. I’m been feeling kind of ill since the Molotov cocktail re Mandami (sp) was “elected” as the Mayor of New York.
Thank God for Nick Shirley. I hope I live long enough to witness President Trump giving him a MEDAL OF HONOR for all he has done to expose corruption and theft.
I’ve been grieving about New York since September 11, 2001. Don’t know who exactly or what or why evil spirits from all walks of life are intent on destroying the first “Melting Pot of America.”
I went to Ellis Island many years ago with one of my sisters. We have copies of my Grandparent’s LEGAL entry into the US, where they traveled in steerage class below decks to arrive here.
Really chaps my *ss that theft is now legal in New York.
This song calms me down at times.

No doubt the WWII veterans that were at the July 4th celebrations in DC were very appreciative of this (it’s the memorial they were sitting at watching the fireworks display in the pic I shared last weekend).
My father was a WW2 vet. I went to see that memorial not long after it opened. It was beautiful. I thought it was perfect the way it has an Atlantic side and a Pacific side. The communists do so many things that infuriate me, but seeing what they did to that monument tested my patience like few things ever have. Thank God for President Trump.
Police officer shows what it means to be human…
That’s great. Dogs are amazing and that man has a good heart.
As valid today as it was when she made the argument. May she rest in peace.
The trillion-dollar campaign to conquer the West

And by the natural rights conferred unto us by God we are entitled to take any action necessary to rid our own land of such invaders. God wills us to protect ourselves from invaders, He does not will us to submit. The brave and the strong must rise to protect our land from evil, no matter the cost. No man can evade this calling and still call himself a man, much less a man of God.
Trump has a kill switch…

Trump wasn’t flip-flopping on Iran when he went from calling their leaders “rational” to “scum” in a day. If the New York Times could actually think for a moment, they’d realize that’s how Trump works.
Here’s what I think is happening. Trump isn’t looking for a moderate in Iran to play nice with. He’s looking for an Albert Speer. At the very end of WWII, when Hitler wanted to burn Germany to the ground, Speer looked in the mirror and decided he wanted to live. He betrayed the regime to survive the aftermath.
By unleashing hell and squeezing Iran to the brink, Trump isn’t trying to convert the whole council. He’s making the regime look so completely doomed that, hopefully, one self-interested insider will decide it’s better to help the outside win than to get taken out by a bomb in the middle of the night.

Iran privately told Trump advisers “they made a mistake” in shooting at ships in Strait of Hormuz
Excerpt:
The Iranians have told the U.S. that the attacks on ships were initiated by an errant entity in their system who wants to undermine the deal.
The Trump administration, however, maintains that the ships were targeted for another reason. The U.S. believed that a southern lane in the Strait of Hormuz, the one along the Omani coast, would be open under the memorandum. But Iran was caught off guard by how rapidly traffic was moving — and how much of the oil and gas traffic was moving through the southern lane — and that is why they reneged, one of the officials said.

According to a high-stakes report by Axios, the United States has issued a definitive, final ultimatum to Iran, giving Tehran until Saturday to publicly condemn the recent hostile attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and explicitly declare the vital waterway open for unrestricted international maritime transit.
Washington has coupled this strict deadline with an ominous warning of severe, devastating consequences should the Iranian regime refuse to comply. The diplomatic standoff has reached a knife-edge, with U.S. forces in the region positioned to act immediately upon the expiration of the deadline. Underscoring the extreme gravity of the situation, a senior U.S. official delivered a blunt, uncompromising warning to Axios, stating: “If this is not their position by tomorrow, it is not going to be a good day for them.”
This explicit threat signals that the Trump administration is prepared to abandon diplomatic channels and deploy overwhelming kinetic and military force to secure the world’s most critical energy corridor, pushing the Middle East to the absolute brink of a major regional conflagration.
