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 †

Now I know I need to start slouching toward La Brea! I remember using candlestick phones…….
Sad. Such a simple technology but they are so inexperienced and unexposed to history.
Hint. A basic Telegraph key can also be used on a dial system to “dial” a number.
Actually, one can dial a number with just the two wires. If you have a handset wired in series, you’re on line.

“But they’re all so cute…”
? ?
Just like pit bulls are so nice and would never hurt anyone. Right?
Usually, right.
However my neighbor’s pit bull is a very gentle female. She readily rolls over for strangers to give her a belly rub. Not sure she’s the best guard dog…but a great pet.
Not to argue, but I wonder what all those babies, children, and adults who have lost their lives, along with other animals, too, would say right now about the gentle pit bulls that attacked and killed them, and if society even cares to listen.
I’m not challenging the normal characterization of staffordshire terrier behavior. My point was to note an exception to that behavior in one particular dog.
TY for explaining, GB Bari. I apologize. I wasn’t arguing with you but it does sound that way after re-reading my comments. I just shouldn’t have watched the video and shouldn’t have commented. God keeps telling me to not post and I really, really need to listen to Him. I appreciate your kind responses.

Is the God of Islam the God of the Bible?
By Pastor Ricky Kurth
“Is the god of Islam the God of the Bible?”
There are countless ways to show that the god of Islam is not the God of the Bible, but since there are two faiths that have come from the Bible, Judaism and Christianity, let’s just consider two verses that show that the god of Islam differs from the God of both of these Bible faiths.
First, remember that the Lord told the Samaritan woman, “Ye worship ye know not what” (John 4:22). There was no creed on the planet at that time that was more similar to Judaism than the religion practiced by the Samaritans. There were countless similarities between the two faiths, and yet it was the Lord’s assertion that the Samaritans didn’t know what they were worshipping, any more than the pagans who worshipped “THE UNKNOWN GOD” at Athens (Acts 17:23). This indicated that, in His opinion, they did not worship the same God. So in view of the countless differences between Islam and Judaism, it is difficult to see how it can be said that Muslims worship the God of Judaism.
To this must be added the testimony of the Apostle Paul, who declared that “the things that the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice unto devils, and not to God” (I Cor. 10:20). From these words it seems clear that the gods of the different religions of the Gentiles were not the God of the Christian faith that God used him to establish here on earth (I Cor. 3:10). This is especially so when we consider that Paul was quoting Deuteronomy 32:16,17, where Moses called the gods of the heathen nations “strange gods…and devils…new gods that came newly up.”
In light of these two verses that show that the god of Islam is not the God of either of the two faiths of the Bible, it is certain that the god of Islam is not the God of the Bible. It is still true that “he that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father” (John 5:23), and “whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father” (I John 2:23). No faith that denies that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died to pay for the sins of all men can be said to worship the God of the Bible.
https://www.bereanbiblesociety.org/is-the-god-of-islam-the-god-of-the-bible/
John 4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
Acts 17:23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
1 Corinthians 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
1 Corinthians 3:10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
Deuteronomy 32:16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
1 John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
The Islamist scholars themselves reject the idea that the Christian God and ‘Allah’ are the same as they wholeheartedly reject the concept of a triune God. We don’t have to argue it, they’ve already decided it.

I will admit that upon finding out Willie was a communists I was left stunned. With Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash dead, that leaves Kris Kristofferson and Willie the two surviving members of the Highwaymen. Both survivors communists. I recall when Willie and Waylon told Kris to knock off his left wing rants on stage…now I find out that Willie is a leftie also. Breaks my heart.

seriously consider Green Light Laser surgery.
They are scheduling for surgery but it won’t be the green light procedure. Besides the restriction due to a swollen prostate I have two pockets (diverticulum) on my bladder that also must be reduced so the surgery will be done the old fashioned way because those pockets cannot be reduced any other way.
Otherwise the green light procedure is exactly what they would have done.

WINNING INTO FREEDOM
“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John viii. 36
If there is any remnant of individual conceit left, it always says “I can’t.” Personality never says “I can’t,” but simply absorbs and absorbs. Personality always wants more and more. It is the way we are built. We are designed with a great capacity for God; and sin and our individuality are the things that keep us from getting at God. God delivers us from sin: we have to deliver ourselves from individuality, i.e., to present our natural life to God and sacrifice it until it is transformed into a spiritual life by obedience.
God does not pay any attention to our natural individuality in the development of our spiritual life. His order runs right across the natural life, and we have to see that we aid and abet God, not stand against Him and say – I can’t do that. God will not discipline us, we must discipline ourselves. God will not bring every thought and imagination into captivity; we have to do it. Do not say – O Lord, I suffer from wandering thoughts. DON’T suffer from wandering thoughts. Stop listening to the tyranny of your individuality and get emancipated out into personality.
“If the Son shall make you free…” Do not substitute ‘Saviour’ for ‘Son.’ The Saviour sets us free from sin; this is the freedom of being set free BY THE SON. It is what Paul means in Gal. ii. 20 – “I have been crucified with Christ,” his natural individuality has been broken and his personality united with his Lord, not merged but united. “Ye shall be free indeed,” free in essence, free from the inside. We will insist on energy, instead of being energized into identification with Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
November 18th Devotional
Amen, we become one with the son. That’s what it means to pray ‘in Jesus name’. That’s why it is so important to shed any guilt or shame, they may be what you have done but not who you are.
When you see in that manner you are empowered to sin no more. It is a matter of change or cleansing. But, in guilt and shame you become powerless and separate YOURSELF from the son. It is an excuse to repel responsibility.
Think of Jesus when he said Philippians 2:6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. We are created in God’s image!
How much responsibility did Jesus take on with that statement? Are we willing to do the same? It’s ‘pious’ that pushes that away.

John 14:1-4
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
God instructed Noah to build his Ark BEFORE the flood. So that he was prepared for when the flood came. If he had waited until the flood came, he would not have been able to fully prepare, as instructed by God.
Noah had to build a physical object to survive.
Jesus has prepared a room for us in his Father’s house.
I suggest you prepare for the “flood” by “putting” as many Spiritual Truths as you can in that room. Know that room. Picture yourself in that room, listening to that still small voice. Practice sitting in that room. Reach out. Don’t ask for what you NEED. God knows what you need.
Ask for wisdom, understanding, love, faith. To know that heart that was in Christ Jesus.
Don’t wait for the flood.
Remember, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego survived the furnace because they didn’t see fire.
John 15:7 if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.
Job 22:28 thou shalt decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee, and a light shall shine upon thy ways.
John 14:13 and whatever you ask in my name, that i will do that the father be glorified by the son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it.
Word out wandering the street is that Kim Han Sol (half-nephew of Kim Jong-un) and his family have ‘disappeared’ enroute to Amsterdam and is in CIA custody. The news is just getting out now though the ‘disappearance’ occurred in 2017.
Kim Han-sol is the son of Kim Jong-nam, the eldest son of the late Kim Jong-il and was considered to be his heir to the North Korean ‘throne’. Kim Jong-nam was assassinated in the Kuala Lumpur airport by NK agents using VX nerve gas.
FAILING TO LISTEN TO GOD
“We know God clearly speaks to us through:
•His Word,
•the Holy Spirit,
•our circumstances,
•and other people.
He does this so we will:
•understand the truth
•and be conformed to it
•and share it with others.
Be sure you’re listening to God by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior, reading His Word, and fellowshipping with a church that teaches the truth of Scripture. Also, evaluate your life often to be sure you are constantly listening to God.”
Based on Genesis 3, we learn the consequences of failing to listen to God:
-We listen to the wrong people. We are bombarded with many voices daily.
-We’re easily deceived. It’s satan’s nature to lie and deceive (John 8:43-)
Satan told Eve enough truth, distorting God’s words. He can’t tell the truth because he is by nature a liar. All lies can be traced back to satan for he is the father of lies.
-We’re expressing pride and independence. The ultimate root of all our sins is pride. We disobey God because we think that we know more than God.
-We make decisions that appeal to the flesh.
Eve saw that the fruit was good, attractive, would give wisdom.
God gave us desires but He also gave us the Holy Spirit to control our desires so we don’t become slaves of the flesh.
-We excuse ourselves and blame other people.
-We suffer the consequences.
In the garden we see the justice and the grace of God.
-We cause others around us to suffer.
-We miss out on God’s best.

Beautiful post Val!
When we believe God, we trust Him, and when we trust Him, we obey Him. Unbelief is the sin that underlies all mankind’s disobedience and the sin that condemns us to hell. Every time we don’t believe God, we insinuate He’s a liar and liken His motives to those of satan.
Unbelief is the sin Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden and the sin that Jesus was victorious over (by not committing it) in the Garden of Gethsemane when He strove against unbelief to the point of shedding His blood there in the 2nd Garden, doing so on our behalf.
Luke 22:41-44
41 And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 Saying, Father, if Thou be willing, remove this cup from Me: nevertheless not My will, but Thine, be done.
43 And there appeared an angel unto Him from heaven, strengthening Him.
44 And being in an agony He prayed more earnestly: and His sweat was as it were GREAT DROPS OF BLOOD falling down to the ground.
Hebrews 12:1-4
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin (of unbelief) which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith; Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
3 For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
4 Ye have not yet RESISTED UNTO BLOOD, STRIVING AGAINST SIN (unbelief).
John 16:7-11
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you.
8 And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 OF SIN, BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE NOT ON ME;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and ye see Me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without FAITH (believing Him) it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE THAT HE IS, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

Germans are comparing the current WuFlu decrees from their parliament to that of 1933’s Enabling Act. Yes, comparing the current crop to the Nazis.

Sounds like a current crop of governors and assorted leftists here. https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-can-germanys-infection-protectionlaw-be-compared-to-the-nazis-enabling-act/a-55649748
In the quivers of every ‘democratic’Western government are documents akin the the Enabling Act. Here it’s the PEADs, or Presidential Emergency Action Documents. The PEADs originally started out as emergency measures the POTUS could unilaterally take in the event of an all-out nuclear war but, as anything reeking of power does in government, they done growed like Topsy.
The PEADs allow the POTUS to basically do what the POTUS wants, Constitution be damned, in the event of a Presidentially-declared national emergency. What is a Presidentially-declared national emergency? T’aint no tellin’, it’s what the POTUS says it is. Clinton made some 17 declarations of national emergency,Bush 2 did 13, Obama 12 and Trump 7 so they’re not that uncommon. Just imagine what the team of Biden/Harris as cheered on by Obama, Schumer, Pelosi, Feinstein, et al will have the potential to do.

I am pretty angered right now. I’ve been looking for some truth on the matter of the state-wide mandate in California. The wepbage of the CA Dept of Public Health shows numbers of how many ‘cases’ and how many hospitalizations from the COUGH-1984. While some percentages are showing, most telling is the lack of percentages of cases resulting in hospitalizations.
So I filled in the blanks. Firstly, it must be said that what is not shown is exactly how a ‘COVID case’ is defined. There are many instances of false positives. There are instances of employees being swabbed every day or every week which increases the incidence of false positives from one person. Therefore, the total ‘COVID case’ number may reflect a smaller number of persons who were tested.
Anyway, the numbers* straight from the CDPH website are 1,037,978 ‘cases’ and the number of hospitalizations** of ‘confirmed COVID’ is 5,204. This results in an incidence of 0.005.
*the numbers as of 1300 PST
**hospitalizations include all admissions including ICU.
Check my work but this is equal to one person getting sick BECAUSE the Wuhan flu 2,180 times before they would require hospitalization.
What is really suspicious is how the cases by age group breaks down.
I understand it can be misleading to play loose with numbers and statistics. But it seems no matter how its cooked the entire state is subject to a mandate via a politically charged response.

NOVEMBER 17, 2020 | JUDICIAL WATCH
An ISIS terrorist indicted by a federal grand jury for providing material support to the militant Islamist group has been released by federal authorities in Oregon. Even for the famously liberal west coast it may seem unbelievable, especially since a Republican appointee heads the Department of Justice (DOJ), the agency that made the bizarre decision.
The defendant is Hawazen Sameer Mothafar, a 31-year-old U.S. resident charged with two counts of conspiracy to provide material support to a designated terrorist organization and one count of providing and attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2339B(a)(1). Mothafar has also been charged with making false statements—denying his terrorist ties—in an immigration application and one count of false statement to a government agency.
