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 †

It must be in the heat of the day cause they also enjoy the sun. So precious!
My dad used to say “Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noon day sun.”
Mine too! 🙂
The Lord is a sun and shield;
The Lord will give grace and glory;
No good thing will He withhold
From those who walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11
I personally enjoy the sun. Love being tanned. Song of Solomon talks about it too. It grows our food, you know.
Caturday.
Samba!!!
1. Other-worldly musicianship.
2. Simply joyous.
3. Just great.
Thank you ?
Yep. Brazilian jazz musicians are the best of the best. 🙂
Salsa ain’t Samba! 🙂
For deaf ears only
[think the beat from Dirty Laundry]
You got all the tunes
You got autotune
You got Looney Toons
You got toons [NBC chime here]
You got history
But you don’t hear a word
Word
You don’t need no education
When you’re runnin’ with the herd
You’re telling me to mind my P’s & Q’s
‘Cause a virus
You can’t even see
You think the Gods will descend from Mt Olympus
To set you free
You like to quote St. Anthony
Book, chapter, and verse
You say things will be better
But it’s only getting worse
Joe B took prosperity
And shoved it in a Hearse
And that’s no lie
And when you take a mortgage out
Just to buy a loaf of bread
Remember
Please remember
It was you

Yankees-Red Sox Game Postponed After Three Fully Vaccinated Pitchers Test Positive For Covid-19
Fully? How’s that working out for them?
Oopsy.
I guess the vaccines weren’t “fully” effective.
Oopsy. ✌️
My question would be are the positive tests really an infection? I had a specific response after I was vaccinated that was bad enough to see a doctor, my ENT. He agreed that the vaccine was a possibility and he suggested a course of action. He specifically said to not get a Covid test as the test can be positive because of the vaccine and not because of a Covid infection.
NATIONAL YELLOW PIG DAY
National Yellow Pig Day on July 17th honors the unique attributes of the number 17 and its significance to mathematics.
If you don’t think the number 17 plays any role in our lives, consider these facts:
Hmmm, not a fan of the 17th, part of the “Progressive” Death of America, diminishing the role of the States.
Also, today, in the same vein, I saw in these very threads this ominous tidbit:
F – 6
B – 2
I – 9
=
Q – 17
I’ve never really understood the objections to the 17th Amendment. Who today believes a state legislature would choose a more honest and incorruptible Senator than the state’s voters ? On average I’d bet the state legislatures are likely as corrupted as the US Congress. If I recall, it was precisely that problem that led to the 17th.
The 17th led us to all but ignore our state legislatures and dilute if not destroy Federalism. I’m pretty sure Sundance could write up a mean post or several on all the evils that stem from it.
NATIONAL PEACH ICE CREAM DAY
National Peach Ice Cream Day on July 17th sweetens the day with a few scoops at the peak of peach season.
While Georgia may be the first state to come to mind when we think of peaches, California actually leads the nation in production. In the United States, 20 states produce peaches commercially. Besides California and Georgia, the other two top producers are South Carolina and New Jersey. Pennsylvania and Washington grow a lot of peaches.
NATIONAL STRAWBERRY RHUBARB WINE DAY
National Strawberry Rhubarb Wine Day on the third Saturday in July
In July of 2010, Maple River Winery in historic downtown Casselton, North Dakota, proudly accepted the Double Gold Award at the Indy International Wine Competition for its Strawberry Rhubarb Wine.
It may be difficult for the common person to classify rhubarb. Is it a fruit? Is it a vegetable? While technically rhubarb may be known as a tart perennial vegetable, combining it with strawberries creates a unique flavor. Some even consider it the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Rhubarb even went to court over the matter. In 1947 in a customs court in Buffalo, New York, the court ruled that since rhubarb is used as a fruit in the United States, for the purposes of regulations and duties, it was to be counted as a fruit.
Strawberry Rhubarb makes a mean pie!

Yes, if the first thing you do when someone is in trouble, is pull out your phone to record it, you are a jerk.

Saturday of the Fourth Week after Pentecost
July 4th on the Patristic Calendar of the Orthodox Christian Church
(July 13th on the civil or commercial calendar)
Epistle of the Holy Apostle Paul to the Romans 6: 11 – 17
Holy Gospel according to the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Matthew 8: 14 – 23
Among the many Saints and Holy Martyrs who are commemorated today are these:
Saint Andrew, Archbishop of Crete (+ 740), who wrote the Great Canon of Repentance that is prayed during Orthodox Great Lent.
Saint Ulrich, Bishop of Augsburg in Bavaria (+ 973)
Saint Andrew / Andrei (Rublev), Iconographer, Moscow (+ 1430)
The Holy Royal Martyrs of Russia: Tsar Nicholas II, the Royal Family, and those martyred with them (+ 1918)
Readings for the Holy Royal Martyrs – Romans 8: 28 – 39; Saint John 15: 17 – 16: 2
In 1934 Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco (+ 1966) wrote about the Martyrdom of the Russian Royal Family from a perspective unfamiliar to most Americans.
That article linked below includes an additional note at the very end from the website manager about the sin of slander.

In 1981, Saint Philaret of New York wrote an epistle just before the Glorification of the New Martyrs of Russia under the communist yoke.
That article is linked below and refers to the Martyrdom of Tsar Nicholas. (It is a blogspot site that might issue a security note even though there is no problem.)

Also, the site on Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagles is current and active.

I remember when she came out and openly supported then Candidate Trump; her family tried to take control of the organization she formed because they all supported Candidate Cruz; she had to take them to court to keep control of her own creation.
Her daughter Anne Schlafly Cori has spoken in defense of her Mother in recent months in several interviews.

THE MIRACLE OF BELIEF
“My speech and my preaching was not with enticing words.” 1 Cor. ii. 1-5
Paul was a scholar and an orator of the first rank; he is not speaking out of abject humility; but saying that he would veil the power of God if, when he preached the gospel, he impressed people with his “excellency of speech.” Belief in Jesus is a miracle produced only by the efficacy of Redemption, not by impressiveness of speech, not by wooing and winning, but by the sheer unaided power of God. The creative power of the Redemption comes through the preaching of the Gospel, but never because of the personality of the preacher. The real fasting of the preacher is not from food, but rather from eloquence, from impressiveness and exquisite diction, from everything that might hinder the gospel of God being presented. The preacher is there as the representative of God – “as though God did beseech you by us.” He is there to present the Gospel of God. If it is only because of my preaching that people desire to be better, they will never get anywhere near Jesus Christ. Anything that flatters me in my preaching of the Gospel will end in making me a traitor to Jesus; I prevent the creative power of His Redemption from doing its work.

Verse of the Day for Saturday, July 17, 2021
✟
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 10:9 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
BE MY VOICE
Amen.
Simple ain’t it! A decision with eternal consequences.
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.
Mornin all
Got the call Thursday. Go up to a place at Peoria, IL and do a relay with a team doing runs to Lincoln and Seward, Nebraska. Done this several times in the past and have also teamed doing the other end many times in the past. Peoria is close enough that I could do the relay and then return home without taking a 10 hour break.
When I got to the gravel lot behind a McDonalds on Washington street the team was not there yet. Eventually I got a call from dispatch. The husband of the husband and wife team had a “medical issue” and couldn’t drive. I would have to drive up to a small truck stop southeast of Des Moines . That is where the wife of the team was parked and I would trade trailers there. By her starting out further west, she would be able to complete the run by herself the next day.
So off I went taking US 36 across the state to the little BP truck stop. When I got there at about 03:00 EDST the trailer was there and there was one empty slot. I backed in and dropped the trailer I brought and put the paperwork in the back. Then I hooked to the trailer she had brought and she had put the paperwork in the back. I did my Pre-trip inspection and then shut it down and took my 10 hour break.
Got home Friday at 23:00. Josh, my dispatcher, said “boy did you get screwed”! I replied that if you call working 4 1/2 days and getting paid for 6 getting screwed then I guess your right! I pointed out I would be paid more than a dollar a mile for this weeks work.
So much about doing well consistently is about attitude and understanding how to look at such unexpected events with the right perspective.
That’s the spirit. MAGA

Ha! This last week was a National DOT hit week. Twice a year they get out there and work real hard. During these hit weeks DOT officers certify regular state troopers for making DOT inspections and so the chicken houses are full with cops inspecting rigs.
If you recall Thursday last week I went over on my 14 hour maximum duty day by about 25 minutes getting home. The inspecting officer can go back 8 days in your log book. So I was kinda sweating it the last week but now that violation is history as far as my personal liability is concerned.
Interesting 20 min. video by Post 10; he put together a little demonstration to test the burn ability of the different types of wall insulation materials:
Water wars reaching the tipping point. Nothing ‘grand’ about it. https://www.egyptdailynews.com/detail/sudan-says-water-arriving-from-blue-nile-down-by–due-to-gerd https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2021/07/egypt-disappointed-russian-stance-nile-dam-dispute
Ethiopia officially informed Egypt on July 5 that it had started the second filling of GERD reservoir, a move that was unilaterally rejected by Egypt. The disputed dam is the largest hydroelectric project in Africa, with a cost of more than US$4 billion.
Ethiopia did not fund that dam, yet neither article mentions the dragon in the room.
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
Amen
Amen…
Amen.
Amen.
