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 †

I could so easily become a crazy cat lady.
Since it would not be detrimental for your health and there does not appear to be any downside, I’m hear to urge you on and say: Go for it! Life is short. Why not become a crazy cat lady when you have the chance to do so??!!!
It seems that I have been chosen to care for special needs kitties. This hasn’t been by my choice or my design but they have been entrusted to me to take care of them and love them for as long as they are with me.
With these special needs comes high financial responsibility so I don’t take on more than I can comfortably afford to give the absolute best care I can. It also takes emotional toll but I wouldn’t trade it. There is a very special bond that forms between myself and them.
Yes you’ll do, cousins.

I think the Earls do a bang up job of channeling Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. I used to stay up late listening to WSM—50,000 wats out of Nashville—just to here the originals. These guys can capture the spirit of those late-night broadcasts.
Terrific fiddle, banjo and steel guitar playing there my friends!
A New Body
By Pastor John Fredericksen
The older we get, the more our bodies wear out and are filled with aches and pains. It reminds us of our heavenly home, and helps prepare us for the time when we step into eternity. In the fall of 2013, a dear saint in our assembly was having increasingly severe health problems. One day he stood and said to us all: “Enjoy your aches and pains now because one day soon we will be with the Savior in heaven. There we will be given new heavenly bodies. We will have no pain, no sorrow and no death. A glorious future awaits us. Rejoice in this.”
The above expectation is right on target. When John the Apostle explained the physical eternal state, he wrote, “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (I John 3:2). Gospel accounts of our resurrected Savior describe Him with a body similar in appearance to His previous state. We would surely expect that as God Himself, the Savior no longer experienced any pain. Revelation 21:4 confirms this when it refers to the eternal state of the kingdom saints. John wrote, “And God shall wipe away all tears…there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away.”
The Apostle Paul explains there will be vast differences in our new eternal body. It will be a “celestial” body (I Cor. 15:38-40), meaning it will fitted by God to thrive in the atmosphere of the heavens. In contrast to our physical bodies that are weak, degenerating and eventually corrupt, our new bodies will be “raised in incorruption…glory…power…[and as] a spiritual body” (I Cor. 15:42-44). Paul continues his explanation by saying: “…flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God…behold I show you a mystery…we shall all be changed” (I Cor. 15:50-51). To summarize our change he says, “…as we have born the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly” (I Cor. 15:49).
Whenever you get weighed down with physical pain, remember, one day our Lord is going to give us new bodies without weakness or pain. Believe it, rejoice in it and look forward to it with thanksgiving. Keep looking up for His return in expectation and faithfulness until He comes.

1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
1 Corinthians 15:38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
1 Corinthians 15:42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
1 Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 ¶ Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1 Corinthians 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Happy Caterday, Treepers!

THE SPIRITUAL SLUGGARD
“Let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works; not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.” Hebrews x. 24-25
We are all capable of being spiritual sluggards; we do not want to mix with the rough and tumble of life as it is, our one object is to secure retirement. The note struck in Hebrews x. is that of provoking one another and of keeping together – both of which require initiative, the initiative of Christ-realization, not of self-realization. To live a remote, retired, secluded life is the antipodes of spirituality as Jesus Christ taught it.
The test of our spirituality comes when we come up against injustice and meanness and ingratitude and turmoil, all of which have the tendency to make us spiritual sluggards. We want to use prayer and Bible reading for the purpose of retirement. We utilize God for the sake of getting peace and joy, that is, we do not want to realize Jesus Christ, but only our enjoyment of Him. This is the first step in the wrong direction. All these things are effects and we try to make them causes.
“I think it meet,” said Peter, “…to stir you up by putting you in remembrance.” It is a most disturbing thing to be smitten in the ribs by some provoker of God, by someone who is full of spiritual activity. Active work and spiritual activity are not the same thing. Active work may be the counterfeit of spiritual activity. The danger of spiritual sluggishness is that we do not wish to be stirred up, all we want to hear about is spiritual retirement. Jesus Christ never encourages the idea of retirement – “Go tell My brethren…”

Good morning America, 😉
I just came here to tell Sundance and those who work with him that I think you are amazing in what you do and how you do it.
Thank you and God bless you, one and all.
Verse of the Day for Saturday, July 10, 2021
✟
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
Ephesians 6:11 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
BE MY VOICE
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.
Who is behind Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau??? They have the same agenda. They are both Morons and without a doubt are not in charge. Both believe in open borders. Both are in Islam’s pocket. Both allow race riots. Both are very dishonest. Both are anti oil and gas. Both are pro green energy. Both are pro China. They both control the press and social media. Both believe in no freedom of speech. Both are gun grabbers. There are so many similarities that is is becoming very obvious that whoever is controlling one is also controlling the other. Whoever that is, is after North America, not just Canada or the United States. This is a very dangerous situation for conservatives and liberals alike even though the liberals think they will be the rulers. Not. Be careful who you vote for. Stand up for your rights. Keep your families safe. God Bless all Patriots on both sides of the northern border.
Update to above. Dominion voting machines CEO is a donor to Justin Trudeau and the liberal party of Canada. I would imagine they backed Joe also.
Mornin all
Hope you all are doing well. Have not had time to do much reading online, let alone posting anything.
Another week of trucking and another over time day. Toyota and Honda are going gangbusters. Toyota dumped 40 new routes on us and everyone is scrambling. Even before that happened we were busy. I can’t figure out what this stuff about a microchip shortage effecting car production is all about because we service GM and Nissan also and there is no slow down or parts runs for any of them or the tier 2 manufacturers and in fact things have gotten even busier!
Construction and the traffic backups associated with it are adding hours to runs on top of everything else. I have been running various state highways and some county roads to avoid Indianapolis when I can. Sometimes it helps, other times it doesn’t work as planned.
So I’ve been doing a lot of hard trucking. Three out of the four calls this week were “come in as soon as you can” types. The runs are coming so hard and fast that I am having trouble remembering all of them I did this week.
Tuesday 04:30 depart for a 4 stop milk run. Skokie, IL, and then to a place on the NW side of O’Hara then two stops at Elk Grove Village on the west side of O’Hara. Back to the Anderson, IN terminal to drop it in a door. Done at 18:00. This was the only run this week I had forewarning for.
Wednesday, got the call to come in ASAP at 04:00 and was heading out of the terminal at 05:30. Hook to trailer with a Honda rack load at the drop yard near the Anderson terminal and take it to a facility in Holland, MI. There they unload the empty parts racks and reload the trailer with racks full of parts. Long back ups near Indy on US 31, then on I-74 east heading to the Huge Honda plant at Greensburg, IN. Long line of trucks at the gate to get into the facility. Despite using every trick I know I went 25 minutes over on my 14 hour duty time. Had the shipper gotten me in the door on time I still would have made it but they were an hour late doing so.
Thursday 08:00 it was up to Waukegan, IL with an empty trailer to be loaded with replacement parts for Toyota and return that to the drop yard near the Anderson, IN terminal.
Friday it was another Honda load. This time up to Denso in Battle Creek, MI with a trailer of empty racks picked up at the drop yard, then to the Honda plant in Greensburg with a trailer load of loaded racks, and then back to the drop yard near the Anderson terminal with a load of empty racks.
I really can’t complain. I worked 4 days and got paid for 6. But for example on that last run, when I got on I-74 eastbound I noticed that I-74 westbound had a back up of over 10 miles due to construction. So once I went into the Honda plant and dropped my loaded trailer in slot B-198 and then went to slot 137 to get my preloaded trailer and hook to it and headed home, I opted to take Indiana Hwy 3 to avoid that backup I had seen. Of course I got behind some guy dragging a piece of farm machinery and then once he pulled over to let us pass I came on another of the same.
So anyway here is my trucking song for this week:
That is incorrect! The reliable high temperature record was set at what was then called Greenland Ranch, now called Furnace Creek, in Death valley on July 10th, 1913. Temperature recorded was 134.1 deg. F.
World Meteorological Organization’s World Weather & Climate Extremes Archive (asu.edu)
I would dump that source you got that info from because for those of us that pay attention to such things, that guy doesn’t know what he is talking about.
A little education on such things. Furnace creek in death valley is over 200 feet below sea level. The lower a piece of land is the higher the atmospheric pressure. The higher the atmospheric pressure the hotter it can get. That is part of the reason Venus is so hot. The atmospheric pressure at the surface of Venus is almost 90X that at sea level on earth. The temperature at the Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon is 22 deg. F warmer than that of the North rim of the canyon at times. It’s the difference in elevation and thus atmospheric pressure.
Now I’m just another dumb truck driver and I know this stuff, but your source doesn’t?
I really have to laugh at the morons that speed up to try and cut me off when I turn on my turn signal to change lanes. As long as my rig is fully in the lane before they get there, they will be a fault and if I make the move, it will be. One has to wonder about the stability of a driver of a 2 to 3 ton vehicle that thinks they can intimidate the driver of 20 to 40 ton vehicle. And if they do hit me I’ve got a 53 ft. air bag behind me!
Got a call from our safety department Friday last week. Now usually no trucker wants to get a call from their safety department. But this time I was called because they wanted to pat me on the back. Twice in the last few weeks the dash cam on my truck recorded near collision events when I had to hit the brakes hard or pulled too many Gs in an abrupt maneuver. Both times I was avoiding stupid acts by another driver. They just wanted me to know they had reviewed the video and judged that I done exactly the right thing and to tell me my personal safety score had been well below the 100 point threshold since they started such scoring a few years ago.
That’s great rah!
There is more to it than that. There is an extra sense! There are times a voice comes through saying “back off now” or a feeling that something isn’t just right. I trust that voice and it has been right more often than not. There is a higher power looking out for me. I sent that post above to a friend of mine. He was an Air Force Reserve pilot flying C-141 jet transports and a commercial pilot. In the later part of his career he was a trouble shooter that was sent off to recover jet transports and airliners from air fields in 3rd world countries that has supposedly be repaired. Any way one cuts it that is hazardous duty that requires a pilot with extensive knowledge. And that fits in with how I met him. A friend of mine that is now gone, retired from the Air Force as a Flight Engineer. He wrote the first technical operations manuals for UPS when they started flying Boeing 747s as transports. He told me Donny was the best pilot he had ever flown with.
Here is what Donny said about it: “I would agree with that whole heartedly. I was the same way in my day, even tried to communicate how it worked to the young guys.
I was looked out for for 35 years by the same higher power, strong connection with it for me.”
Sometimes that still small voice screams.

Have you ever wondered why those that want to force people to get COVID vaccines and carry a card saying they have had one have not said that those who have had the infection and survived and thus have the antibodies also need a card?
And have you ever thought about how the same people that say “It’s the woman’s body and thus her choice” if she has an abortion now say it should not be your choice to not get the vaccine?
Just some observations from SE Wisconsin, Kenosha County.
Still see Trump for President 2020 signs out. Pence’s wasn’t crossed out, oh well. NOT small, maybe 4×8 or 5×10 ft signs. Might be larger.
Saw a anti mask signs. “Unmask our children”
Was in a restaurant for breakfast. 95+ percent of the patrons were unmasked. So that was encouraging.
Stopped at Sam’s for somethings. Yeah I know.
Couple of points.
1 If one doesn’t use their card for more than 90 days, they deactivate it. Was surprised since there was a $200.00+ credit on it.
2) Was looking at the racks, 25 to 30 percent empty. Strange for this time of year.
Ever since Sundance gave us the supply chain lesson. Have been paying more attention to that aspect of stores and warehouses.
3) Also 95+ percent unmasked. That is a goodness.
4) Was looking for rubbing alcohol, Sam’s brand is 91%, most others are 70%.
Pharmacist showed me where the alcohol was. Buried at the bottom racks.
Than wanted to know if I wanted the Jab? Asked him why I would put an unapproved product in my body. Didn’t have an answer. Oh well.
Just some observations from the ground. YMMV

Interesting story; Russian robots will be deployed to deliver food on U.S. college campuses. These units have all types of sensors, mapping technology, etc.
