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 †

Benjamin Banneker
(1731-1806)
African American astronomer, mathematician and surveyor of Washington, D.C., dies at 74
Biography: Banneker was a largely self-educated, free African-American scientist. He is most famous for his widely published almanacs (1792-1797) for which he calculated the daily locations of stars and planets and accurately forecast lunar and solar eclipses. His almanacs also included opinion pieces, literature, and medical and tidal information.
Banneker was an outspoken anti-slavery supporter who corresponded with Thomas Jefferson on the topics of slavery and racial equality. He included the correspondence between himself and Jefferson in his 1793 almanac.
His other achievements include constructing a wooden clock despite having seen only one other timepiece in his life, and assisting Major Andrew Ellicott in surveying the borders of the original federal capital of the District of Columbia.

Oskar Schindler
(1908-1974)
Austrian businessman and subject of the novel “Schindler’s Ark” and the film “Schindler’s List”, dies at 66
Biography: German industrialist, German spy, and member of the Nazi party who is credited with saving the lives of 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his enamelware and ammunitions factories, located in what is now Poland and the Czech Republic.
His story became famous through the historic novel “Schindler’s List” published by Thomas Keneally in 1982 and by the film of the book made by director Steven Spielberg. The film starred Liam Neeson and won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1993.
09 October 1988 Felix Wankel, German inventor (Wankel rotary-piston engine), dies at 86
Biography: Felix Wankel is best known for inventing the Wankel engine, a type of internal combustion engine that uses a rotating triangular rotor instead of the more common piston design.
Wankel faced financial difficulties in his early life and was unable to afford a university education. Despite this, he taught himself technical subjects and conceived the idea for his unique engine design at a young age.
During the 1920s and 1930s, Wankel was involved with various radical anti-Semitic organizations and had a complicated relationship with the Nazi Party. He developed seals and rotary valves for German aircraft and torpedoes during World War II.
After the war, Wankel continued developing his engine design. It gained attention through its use in vehicles manufactured by NSU and Mazda, such as the NSU Wankel-Spider and Mazda’s RX-series of cars.
Wankel’s engine design proved successful, and he secured licensing agreements with several major automotive manufacturers worldwide. He sold his share in the licensing royalties for a substantial sum and later sold his Technical Development Center to Daimler-Benz.
Throughout his life, Wankel was a strong supporter of animal rights and opposed animal testing. He also received numerous honors and awards for his work, including an honorary doctorate from the Technical University of Munich and Germany’s highest civilian honor, the Grand Federal Service Cross.
New design promise as the main problem with Wankel’s engine is the dreaded EPA …. Emissons

We have all been behind this person, unless you are this person:
I used to feel that way. Always on the lookout for speed traps. Constantly cursing the slowpokes only mildly speeding. Dreading the horrible slowdowns that happen inexplicably at hills. (Everyone, even the trucks are speeding yet the group slows way down.)
Then I figured out that slow was much more relaxing. Those mild speeders had it made. Mostly stay in the slow lane because there are rarely slower people. Drive through speed traps without even needing to slow down.
Still had to accept that up hill slow down tangle. Though most of the time you form the traveling island as faster cars que behind you to let speed demons through.
And more time is taken getting from here to there. But I now have much less chance of dying of a heart attack while speeding.

Good morning Mo Peace 🤗🙏❤️
Again very grateful for your beautiful art and postings 🫂😇✝️🙏
Wind shear is not having the anticipated effect on ISAIAS and it has become a CAT III (Major and still strengthening). Obviously not good news. The NHC has kept shifting their track warning cone a little to the east at landfall and into an ever sharper swing east after it comes ashore as I and many others expected it would.

Good Morning:
I’m interested in hearing opinions regarding Secretary Hegseth’s decision to publicly execute Nadal Hassan. My initial reaction was “Oh, Good Lord! How can we do that?” I admit, I’m torn on this, but my gut says it’s a mistake – a tear in our soul. I’m all for executing that man, but publicly, not too sure.
God Bless.
Personally – I wish we still had the dock, where we could throw eggs, tomatoes and insults at an offender. Even if we only ‘observe’ the humiliation, it’s a good deterrent (imo)
Wikipediai”
Are we really better off ‘shielding’ ourselves (the public) from the ‘violence’ of punishment – or are we ‘happier’ hiding criminals from public view (in prison)?
A companion question: is it fair to the public and the convicted murderer to delay ‘private’ execution for years?
This
“Public executions began to decline in the 19th and early 20th centuries as societies shifted towards private executions, largely due to growing distaste for the spectacle and concerns about the brutality involved. This change was influenced by a desire to shield the public from violence and to promote more humane treatment of prisoners.
I personally believe the objective has always been to inflict more crime on us.
The activists never stop. There is always something else to demand. Ban the death penalty claiming life is better and soon lifers are put back on the street. Some even got furloughs and used them for crime sprees.
Thinking while reading your summary I wondered if banning public punishment has been part of our increased crimes. Definitely dragging out the death sentence for decades has ‘removed’ it as a realistic consequence. And turns the wait into cruel punishment. Which was obviously by design, since those dragging it all out are the very people using that cruelty as a reason to ban it.
But now we have total infliction of criminal on the public. No bail while awaiting trial. Light sentences. Early release. Eternally torturing victims with parole hearings. Justice is never served,
I won’t argue with a single word you wrote.
In Idaho the man who killed students in college in Moscow plead guilty to avoid the firing squad. Now he says he did not understand and was coerced.
I wish someone would pronounce him guilty and hustle him in front of ‘the squad’ for his horrendous crimes.
Same for the women who are murdering their children.
Or am i being too harsh?
No you are not too harsh….it is a very harsh but real situation…people who like killing…except themselves being killed.
I am now more and more leaning towards thinking that the Christa Pike ‘botched’ execution, was an intentional ‘botch’….(and she ain’t know angel…a few years ago, she got charged with attempted murder of another inmate, and also tried to escape.)…there are some that do not need to be walking around in society.
I suspect to same thing. Am waiting for the rule of the old west hangings to make the news – if you survive you get to go free.
Does it stem from the ‘fad’ from years ago – thou shalt not punish your child for bad behavior – ???
I heard she dehydrated herself with the intent of botching it.
Christa Pike demanded and got a DEI execution team. They failed (of course!)
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
ms:
NO!! You are not too harsh. Murder is still murder, no matter how you look at it. The Death Penalty is still and always will be the BEST deterrent and puts an end to repeat offenders. Firing Squad or Hanging are good choices.
I think that the botched execution was intentional! There is no reason for such a thing to happen.
Hi Ms. Idaho:
I can’t tell you how many times I wish we’d brought back tarring and feathering. But the stocks will do.
If Hassan’s execution is broadcast, I’ll watch; to honor the memory of those who he murdered and those whose lives he changed forever.
I have a son living in Idaho. A little over a year now. He’s liking it very much!
Ecclesiastes 8:11
“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
King James Version (KJV)
In 2009 Hassan KILLED 13 people, including a baby in the womb, and injured 32 people while shouting “Allahu akbar”.
This was the worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9/11.
He had been in the military for YEARS, receiving medical training at taxpayer expense but did not want to deploy. He had a lot of negatives on his record.
I approve of Secretary Hegseth’s decision to live stream the execution………I wish it could be done in front of the building where Hassan KILLED 13 people and wounded 32 more, and wrecked countless other lives by the effect of what he did.
This should have been done years ago.
Let him become the example that provides deterrence.
Yes, I am an Army veteran.
I will simply finish this post how I started it, because these words are TRUE.
Ecclesiastes 8:11
“Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
King James Version (KJV)
Hi Greg: I have absolutely no problem with the death penalty. I’ve always believed it to be a response, not a deterrent. My only question was should it be public? So far, the few responses I’ve received say yes. As an aside, Mr. Hegseth said it will be at Fort Hood, on the date and hour the murders took place. Fitting, I think. Thank you for responding.
Should have been done 17 years ago
Hi Joe:
i agree. I sometimes feel the Chinese have the right idea. Guilty, then out back and one round. Over and done.
Hate and violence … blatant lies, theft and oppression to and of innocent citizens
has become the new norm
…on full public display.
At the (televised) State of The Union
elected officials; law-makers,
shamelessly displayed
their lack of compassion, concern and
respect for
the life of
the savage
physical, mental and emotional abuse…., and horrific murder of a young girl‼️
…. They did not applaud;
not to mention
—even stand up
for that child’s mother‼️‼️‼️
By comparison,
a public execution
is just what might shake and wake up people!
Am not a good person to have an opinion on this….I favor the death penalty right up to the moment before its implemented…a bit of a simplistic thing–“thou shalt not kill”, (but its over my head, theologically, as that relates to civic laws)…that said…
Many function under the idea it will deter serious crime.
That said…Mr. Hassan is supposedly a ‘good muslim’ and had ‘switched to the other side’, against the US Military…so I ask this question…in the purview of the Quran…
He should be thinking he is going to be ‘martyred’ for Allah? That is supposed to be a ‘glorious’ thing, in Islam…
Why the hunger strike then? And why the appeals?
And yet…still one of God’s children whom The Son died for…misguided, nonetheless…..with the blood of 14 people on his hands…
Hi Aggie:
reading your response – I couldn’t agree more. I think the American people have been slowly groomed into a kind of social malaise. We put up with almost anything now. Perhaps Patience is right. We need to be shaken awake. Mr. Hassan worked hard for his martyrdom. I’m happy to see he gets it.
God Bless. I always enjoy your common-sense comments.
he is going to be ‘martyred’ for Allah?
Every bullet
in every gun
on the firing squad
smeared in bacon grease
Thank you, thank you … I’ll be here all week … try the veal …
Our country’s strength is from God who our founding fathers knew had to follow laws, order to survive and thrive. Many evil have ignored the rule of law, some now believe it should be defunded, abolished.
A civil society cannot exist without it.
We are seeing proof daily of this.
Our President is showing what he promised to the world.
We will make America Safe Again, reestablish law and order.
I only wish the other terrorists who want to destroy our country, would be in line with this evil scum.
Thank you. I couldn’t agree more.
This is a needed discussion you have started.
We Americans used to have a different outlook. With the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, there was little public opposition. We had recently fought and won WWII. There was a much more rigorous adherence to the law, and belief that the judicial system and due process could be trusted.
So, I think we should look at the shift in our American psyche that makes us ambivalent about the death penalty and public executions.
Treason always costs lives, that is why the penalty has always been death since
ancient times. Maybe we were more clear about that a couple generations ago. I think we were made of sterner stuff.
I think it is also worth noting that the outrageous miscarriages of justice by the foreign-born and/or Soros-installed judges form a psychological operation on the American public. Literal murderers are turned loose on the streets. It is very demoralizing.
Dear Appeal: thank you for responding and for not jumping on me and calling me a Democrat and Charlie Kirk hater because I brought up a question and a comment. I have no problem with the death penalty for traitors and pedophiles, or deportations of illegals or hard time for criminals.
You make perfect sense. Something has happened to us. Somewhere along the line we became the bad guys.
We’ve lost our resilience and I do believe Soros and his ilk have chipped away at it over the years. Like the frog in the pot, we just didn’t realize what was happening. One day we wake up to the Balkanization if the country. I don’t know what it will take to turn us around. I don’t even know if we can.
Personally I think the intention is correct. Obviously there are going to be several legal battles to be won before it can actually happen.
In the meantime Hegseth is doing other great things. Height and weight standards are back as are specific regulations bringing back the old military standards for haircuts, nails, false eye lashes, fingernail length or color, female ornamentation, facial hair, and physical fitness standards. Not a single one I disagree with.
A whole lot of dead weight is going to be hitting the door. They will be QMPed or drummed out under UCMJ, or reduced in rank via UCMJ and remain in but working extra duty until either they clean up their acts or their term of enlistment expires. And it’s not just the enlisted ranks getting cleaned up either.
The TicToc “influencers” who have been dramatically harp about how they aren’t going to comply while wearing the uniform are being dumped in large numbers.
Hits the nail on the head!
I simply asked a question and you accuse me of being a Democrat and of cheering Charlie Kirk’s murder. Neither could be further from the truth.
I did not post the above in reply to you or anyone else. Please learn to read the board dear lady.
He is being executed at Ft. Hood, undoubtedly by the members of units whose members he murdered. Justice delivered, albeit far too long after the event. If it troubles you, don’t watch!
“People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”
Excuse me, Sir. I said I was going to watch.
I posed a question; asking what others thought. If my postings trouble you, don’t read them.
A little history. Maj, Andre was head of Intelligence for the British Army and the contact for Benadict Arnold in his treason.
Andre was captured with papers hidden in his boot outlining the plan for Arnold to turnover the fort near West Point to the British.
Andre was sentenced to death and Washington ordered him hung as a spy. Andrea had pleaded with Alexander Hamilton, an aide-de-camp and personal secretary Wasington to be executed by firing squad which was an honorable soldiers death and not hung as was the fate of criminals and spies.
Hamilton first tried to arrange an and exchange of Adre for Arnold. When that fell through he pleaded with Washington to grant Andre’s request for execution by firing squad. Washington refused and Andre was hung, Alexander asked Washington for a command because he did not wish to serve in his HQ anymore. There was none immediately available but eventually Hamilton got his wish.
So by the old standards this mass murderer is being granted a soldiers death. I have no doubt that Washington would have ordered him hung instead.
Dear Rah: I’m well aware of Major Andre’ and his story. I miss your point. I’m perfectly ok with Hassan being executed by firing squad and it being televised. I simply posed the question to readers about what they thought of the public aspect. It is a departure from practice, and worth talking about what it means for us. I wouldn’t mind seeing the same for Fauci, but we can’t have everything.
My point is quite simply: What would George Washington have done? I believe his execution would be by hanging and streamed.
The only way I think it is just to have it by firing squad is if the soldiers that were there and lost loved ones to the scumbag were allowed to be on the firing squad.
My concern is it will make this filth a martyr to other certain filth who should not be here.
This scum should be snuffed out in darkness as suits its filthy dark soul and all of its persuasion.
Then message is not received.
So beautiful!

Our trees are turning – but the leaves that fall are crisp (dead) and devoid of color. Our drought is hurting the trees – and everybody else.
When I pause in my walk to hold a branch and say ‘Hi’ to a tree it feels sad and imparts minimum energy. I have to lend some of mine??
Hopefully they’ll spring to life after winter.

“Right now about 1.1 million people work in America on temporary permits. Every one of them holds a seat. Nobody in government has ever tallied how many of those seats belonged to an American first. ”
Because I had an Online Store I worked with lots of tech support. The tale of woe described in this piece was related to me years ago. EKO says no one keeps a count. He’s made a request:
“So let’s keep the count the forms never kept. If you trained your replacement, or mailed an application to a job that was already filled, reply and tell me what happened. If someone you love lost work this way, send them this.”

Verse of the Day for Friday, October 9, 2026
Hebrews 10:24
“And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:”
King James Version (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR HEBREWS 10
The insufficiency of sacrifices for taking away sin, The necessity and power of the sacrifice of Christ for that purpose. (1-18) An argument for holy boldness in the believer’s access to God through Jesus Christ, And for steadfastness in faith, and mutual love and duty. (19-25) The danger of apostacy. (26-31) The sufferings of believers, and encouragement to maintain their holy profession. (32-39)
1-10 The apostle having shown that the tabernacle, and ordinances of the covenant of Sinai, were only emblems and types of the gospel, concludes that the sacrifices the high priests offered continually, could not make the worshippers perfect, with respect to pardon, and the purifying of their consciences. But when “God manifested in the flesh,” became the sacrifice, and his death upon the accursed tree the ransom, then the Sufferer being of infinite worth, his free-will sufferings were of infinite value. The atoning sacrifice must be one capable of consenting, and must of his own will place himself in the sinner’s stead: Christ did so. The fountain of all that Christ has done for his people, is the sovereign will and grace of God. The righteousness brought in, and the sacrifice once offered by Christ, are of eternal power, and his salvation shall never be done away. They are of power to make all the comers thereunto perfect; they derive from the atoning blood, strength and motives for obedience, and inward comfort.
11-18 Under the new covenant, or gospel dispensation, full and final pardon is to be had. This makes a vast difference between the new covenant and the old one. Under the old, sacrifices must be often repeated, and after all, only pardon as to this world was to be obtained by them. Under the new, one Sacrifice is enough to procure for all nations and ages, spiritual pardon, or being freed from punishment in the world to come. Well might this be called a new covenant. Let none suppose that human inventions can avail those who put them in the place of the sacrifice of the Son of God. What then remains, but that we seek an interest in this Sacrifice by faith; and the seal of it to our souls, by the sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience? So that by the law being written in our hearts, we may know that we are justified, and that God will no more remember our sins.
19-25 The apostle having closed the first part of the epistle, the doctrine is applied to practical purposes. As believers had an open way to the presence of God, it became them to use this privilege. The way and means by which Christians enjoy such privileges, is by the blood of Jesus, by the merit of that blood which he offered up as an atoning sacrifice. The agreement of infinite holiness with pardoning mercy, was not clearly understood till the human nature of Christ, the Son of God, was wounded and bruised for our sins. Our way to heaven is by a crucified Saviour; his death is to us the way of life, and to those who believe this, he will be precious. They must draw near to God; it would be contempt of Christ, still to keep at a distance. Their bodies were to be washed with pure water, alluding to the cleansings directed under the law: thus the use of water in baptism, was to remind Christians that their conduct should be pure and holy. While they derived comfort and grace from their reconciled Father to their own souls, they would adorn the doctrine of God their Saviour in all things. Believers are to consider how they can be of service to each other, especially stirring up each other to the more vigorous and abundant exercise of love, and the practice of good works. The communion of saints is a great help and privilege, and a means of stedfastness and perseverance. We should observe the coming of times of trial, and be thereby quickened to greater diligence. There is a trying day coming on all men, the day of our death.
26-31 The exhortations against apostacy and to perseverance, are urged by many strong reasons. The sin here mentioned is a total and final falling away, when men, with a full and fixed will and resolution, despise and reject Christ, the only Saviour; despise and resist the Spirit, the only Sanctifier; and despise and renounce the gospel, the only way of salvation, and the words of eternal life. Of this destruction God gives some notorious sinners, while on earth, a fearful foreboding in their consciences, with despair of being able to endure or to escape it. But what punishment can be sorer than to die without mercy? We answer, to die by mercy, by the mercy and grace which they have despised. How dreadful is the case, when not only the justice of God, but his abused grace and mercy call for vengeance! All this does not in the least mean that any souls who sorrow for sin will be shut out from mercy, or that any will be refused the benefit of Christ’s sacrifice, who are willing to accept these blessings. Him that cometh unto Christ, he will in no wise cast out.
32-39 Many and various afflictions united against the early Christians, and they had a great conflict. The Christian spirit is not a selfish spirit; it puts us upon pitying others, visiting them, helping them, and pleading for them. All things here are but shadows. The happiness of the saints in heaven will last for ever; enemies can never take it away as earthly goods. This will make rich amends for all we may lose and suffer here. The greatest part of the saints’ happiness, as yet, is in promise. It is a trial of the patience of Christians, to be content to live after their work is done, and to stay for their reward till God’s time to give it is come. He will soon come to them at death, to end all their sufferings, and to give them a crown of life. The Christian’s present conflict may be sharp, but will be soon over. God never is pleased with the formal profession and outward duties and services of such as do not persevere; but he beholds them with great displeasure. And those who have been kept faithful in great trails for the time past, have reason to hope for the same grace to help them still to live by faith, till they receive the end of their faith and patience, even the salvation of their souls. Living by faith, and dying in faith, our souls are safe for ever.
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.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
PURE IN HEART
Hearken Ye – Blest are the Pure in Heart
For they shall see our God when they depart
The secret of the Lord is surely theirs
In Christ’s abode – their souls become heirs
Their lives give glory to the Prince of Peace
Their love for Him is strong – it will not cease
Like Him – they dwell in lowliness – with men
Like Him – their pattern for holiness – Amen
To the lowly soul – His grace He imparts
With His Spirit pure – He fills their hearts
For His cradle – and His heavenly throne
He chooses the Pure in Heart – they alone
Lord – Let us pray – Thy presence we seek
Lord – For we pray – Thy blessing unique
Give us – we pray – a pure and lowly heart
The Grace from Your Spirit that You impart
The temple within – we will surely refine
For the pure resting place of the Divine
Purify us, Oh Lord – that we may be worthy
To receive Your Grace – wholly and humbly
Give us this day Your blessing, Oh Lord
Keep us securely – surely in Your Word
Let Your Spirit abide within us today
For You are the Truth, the Life, and the Way
Blest are the Pure in Heart – the Bible says
For they are the ones who know God’s ways
Create in us all – a heart that is pure
So we will be servants of all – for sure
Let not worldly concerns sweep us away
Temptation and sinfulness – let us defray
For it is in giving – that we will receive
And the Pure in Heart – will ever believe
The Glory of God – will be theirs to enjoy
If they seek His face – in all they employ
Grant us – Oh, Lord – a heart that is pure
For the Pure in Heart – will surely endure

Are you in Pensacola?
I read Sundance’s article – very informative, yet frightening.
How are your pups? I hope they will not get anxious.

Trump announced a new press secretary
It reminded me … i really miss Tony Snow
A Visitor from the Past
by Thelen Paulk 1974
I had a dream the other night,
I did not understand
A figure walking through the mist,
with flintlock in his hand
His clothes were torn and dirty;
As he stood their by my bed,
he took off his three cornered hat
And speaking low, he said,
“We fought a revolution
to secure our Liberty
We wrote the Constitution,
as a shield from tyranny
For future generations
this legacy we gave
In this, the land of the free
and the home of the brave
The freedom we secured for you,
we hoped you’d always keep
But tyrants labored endlessly,
while your parents were asleep
Your freedom gone – Your courage lost
You’re no more than a slave
In this, the land of the free
and the home of the brave
You buy a permit to travel,
and a permit to own a gun
Permits to start a business
or to build a place for one
On land that you believe you own,
you pay a yearly rent
Although you have no voice in choosing,
how the money’s spent
Your children must attend a school,
that does not educate
Your Christian values can’t be taught,
according to the State
You read about the current news
in a regulated press
You pay a tax you do not owe,
to please the IRS
Your money is no longer made
of silver or gold
You trade your wealth for paper,
so your life can be controlled
You pay for crimes
that make your nation turn
from God in shame
You’ve taken Satans number,
as you traded in your name
You’ve given government control
to those who do you harm,
so they can padlock churches,
and steal the family farm
And keep our country deep in debt,
put men of God in jail,
harass your fellow countrymen
While corrupted courts prevail
Your public servants
don’t uphold the solemn oath they swore
Your daughters visit doctors,
so their children won’t be born
Your leaders ship artillery
and guns to foreign shores,
and send your sons to slaughter,
to fight other peoples wars
Can you regain your freedom,
for which we fought and died,
or don’t you have the courage
or the faith to stand with pride
Are there no more values
for which you would fight to save,
or do you wish your children,
to live in fear and be a slave
Sons of the Republic,
arise and take a stand
Defend the Constitution,
the supreme law of the land
Preserve our great Republic,
and teach each God given right,
and pray to God to keep the torch
of freedom burning bright…”

First reports out of Panama are that the canal is fully functional. They will have to do structural inspections of course but whew that would have been a great loss and increase to transportation costs.
