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 †

A Successful Church
By Pastor John Fredericksen
In our day, it’s easy to be wrongly programmed to equate numbers with a church being successful. Certainly, we want to grow. However, the Lord has a far different standard for success that we need to embrace as our standard. Paul said, “… it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful” (I Cor. 4:2). Faithfulness to the truth of the Word, rightly divided, is paramount, as is faithfulness in service and worship. The church at Thessalonica was extolled for two things. They had a genuine love for one another which the Lord wanted to see “increase and abound” still more (I Thes. 3:12). They also had a regular, consistent, aggressive outreach to the lost with the gospel (I Thes. 1:8). Before the Lord, may we strive to have this kind of successful church.

1Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
1Thessalonians 3:12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
1Thessalonians 1:8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
Here are two Graham Parsons and Emmylou Harris selections followed by probably the most famous Parsons song composed when he was with the Burritos.
Thanks ,again. Nice kid at Winter Haven High School. Everyone that knew him recognized his talent. It was sad to learn what drugs and drinking did to him 10 years later. We had the good fortune to know him in the early 60’s.
Happy Caterday, Treepers!
The start of another Grrrrreat MAGA day!
Happy Caturday! … no, wait …

Good morning, 😉
Tis silly, but the initial pictures of these videos look like they graduated from The Twilight Zone to Star Trek just like Shatner. Technology? Techniques? Make up artists? Lighting? Cameramen? Are there any videos that look like TJ Hooker?
As long as their pants aren’t falling down.
24 July, 1965
The trio of Dino, Desi and Billy achieve their first US chart entry with “I’m A Fool”, which will rise to #17. Dino, the son of Dean Martin, Desi, the son of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, along with Billy Hinsche would also crack the Top 40 with “Not The Lovin’ Kind” later in the year.
24 July, 1982
A Chicago quintet called Survivor started a six week run at #1 on the Billboard singles chart with “Eye Of The Tiger”. The song also topped the UK chart. Over the next four years, the band would place six more songs on the Billboard Top 40 and become an icon of ’80s Rock.
WoW!
So many bands like to think of themselves as tough. Some actually are. But that was a major fail, Survivor trying to act tough in that video.
“Eye of the Tiger” was the theme song from the movie Rocky 3.
Mans sojourn on this planet has entered a very dark and dangerous period unequalled in our history. Just as in the times of Noah..Enoch was translated before the flood..before the disaster. Enoch walked with God. Could he be a model of what believers will experience? He was raptured so to speak. Perhaps his “catching away” was an indication of what true believers in Yahshua can expect. When God was pushed off the planet and the counterfeit Satan took hold of the title, a day of reckoning was set in the mind of a Holy God. We are fast approaching the time when the title to HIS planet will be back in the hands of its Creator.
Something’s fishy here . . .

to all those who had such kind words in reply to my post on yesterday’s presidential open thread,
thank you so much.
had to step away for a bit to regain some equilibrium,
but your comments were read and appreciated.
a special thanks to poster alligator gar – believe it or not, your comments brought me more solace than i have had to date.
sorry it came from a place of such pain.
my best to you, too.
Have a good weekend Zoom. ? I appreciate alligator gar’s comments too. He or she ‘speaks’ with a ‘realness’ that one would do in the presence of friends. I Do hope I’m right.
Make the connection yet? I have!
I couldn’t help but apply a spiritual bend to this video! Our time spent for God and because of God is stored in heaven and is never lost or deflates in value…
Thank you for the reminder!

DISPOSITION AND DEEDS
“Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew v. 20
The characteristic of a disciple is not that he does good things, but that he is good in motive because he has been made good by the supernatural grace of God. The only thing that exceeds right-DOING is right-BEING. Jesus Christ came to put into any man who would let Him a new heredity which would exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees. Jesus says – If you are My disciple you must be right not only in your living, but in your motives, in your dreams, in the recesses of your mind. You must be so pure in your motives that God Almighty can see nothing to censure. Who can stand in the Eternal Light of God and have nothing for God to censure? Only the Son of God, and Jesus Christ claims that by His Redemption He can put into any man His own disposition, and make him as unsullied and as simple as a child. The purity which God demands is impossible unless I can be remade within, and that is what Jesus has undertaken to do by His Redemption.
No man can make himself pure by obeying laws. Jesus Christ does not give us rules and regulations; His teachings are truths that can only be interpreted by the disposition He puts in. The great marvel of Jesus Christ’s salvation is that He alters heredity. He does not alter human nature; He alters its mainspring.

You can see that look in ol’ George’s eyes “what we have here is the “tail wagging the dog”………the left coup plotters and their buddies in the demo, GOPe, Globalists and media…..say jump and ……
Well, in 2020 a lot of people said….”how high?”
2021 is a different story …… Americans and freedom loving peoples across the globe are rescinding the power they had given to their government …… and are circling around the federal government (infested with coup plotters at all levels) and shouting “we are not going to take it anymore.”
Excellent Spurgeon post ~ thank you!

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.
The Miracle (and Gift!) of Vanilla Ice Cream ?
Amazing ignorance the fake news media has and corrupt democrars of the election fraud that occurred in november. According to rhem there was no fraud, and thief Biden won it. Are they blind?? Biden only got 17% of county votes and black vote for him was not consistent across country. He got avalance of black votes in states where it was needed to get enough electoral votes to beat Trump. There arte duplicate votes and no paperwork for many ballots etc after getting in drop box,Trump was ahead election night, then all of a sudden it shut down and many dumps occurred F ace the facts, Trump won without doubt and scared democrats fight like hell to stop recounts or investigate the election . And lameduck supreme court did nothing to help Trump or investigate!!
Makes you wonder how many times your vote has been cancelled by the leftists.
Mornin all,
Long week doing the Marion, IL milk run. Start in Marion and do two stops there then drive to Princeton, IN for a stop there and then to Lawrenceville, IL for the final stop. Then take the trailer to the Loves truck stop at exit 16 on I-65 at Memphis Road in Indiana. There I trade trailers with a driver that comes from Hebron, KY. He takes the trailer I have brought loaded with Toyota service parts back to the big Toyota distribution center there and I take the trailer he brought which may be empty or have empty racks and bins to deliver to any of the four manufacturers that make the particular service parts back to Marion. There I take a break and then do the same again the next day.
On Friday I hit all the stops but instead of going to the truck stop I bring the trailer back to the terminal in Anderson, IN and the Hebron driver comes to Anderson to get it. The whole cycle amounts to about 500 miles but is a only about 350 on Friday.
Now here is the problem. The companies fleet of trailers are aging. They have a huge order for new trailers in with the manufacturer but they simply cannot make enough trailers to fill the order because they lack the employees to do so due to COVID and people getting paid not to work.
As the trailers get older and there are more problems that crop up, and doing an extensive pre-trip inspection becomes a necessity. Just checking tires and lights is not enough! There are structural problems that crop up that MUST be identified and fixed. There are air lines that rub on metal and over time develop leaks. There are brake components that wear and must be replaced. There are more times there is a problem with hub lube.
However many drivers have become spoiled because so much of the equipment has been first class and new or relatively new and just don’t do their damned job! And when the driver bringing you the trailer you will pull doesn’t do his job then what he should have found and had fixed becomes your problem! This week the kid that brings me my trailers out of Hebron even brought me a trailer that was not from our Company! The Toyota facility in Hebron and loaded an Extra Lease trailer that the company I work for was not leasing!
Randy and I that have been taking turns covering this run and have had enough. Both of us are on management to do THEIR job and address the problem. After months of searching the company finally found a driver that lives along the route of the this milk run that can do the run and still be home every night. The run will pay pretty well with nearly 500 miles and pay for three out of the four stops. And so after Randy does it next week we should not have to do this run again IF they can keep this new driver happy. But that new driver is not going stay happy if he is repeatedly being brought trailers that will not pass a DOT inspection and will probably quit eventually and then once again us guaranteed drivers will be doing the run and living out of our trucks for a week at a time.
Sunday at 11:00 I take a Nestle’s load to their warehouse in Breinigsville, PA. There I will drop the loaded trailer and hook to what ever empty company trailer I can find that is available. I will take a break and then the next day drive up to Ridgeway, PA and pick up auto parts and then take the trailer to the company terminal in Vandalia, OH where they will either unload it or I will drop it and hook to an empty to bring back to Anderson. The problem with this run is that if there are any hold ups I won’t have the hours to get back to Anderson without taking another 10 hour break.
And so it goes. We are busy as bees and there is no end in sight.
“…they simply cannot make enough trailers to fill the order because they lack the employees to do so due to COVID and people getting paid not to work.”
IMHO, the excessive unemployment money and alleged “covid relief” money is a deliberate plan by the Democrats / Uniparty to destroy American manufacturing and provide additional incentive for companies to take their needs to foreign countries. The Great Reset includes making America overwhelmingly a service driven economy.
Indeed. It occurred to me today that the architects of South Africa’s undoing of their entire system of production, from agriculture to manufacturing, through direct destruction, is akin to what those same architects are doing to America through the systemic economic destruction of the Fauxdemic, leaving only the Globalists standing.
They are not seizing the means of production, they are dissolving them.

Routine this week in the truck. First off let me say that a good front door is always appreciated on a dark two lane road in the dark in deer country (or elk or moose). Buggy out there and so when I got backed into the dead end where I took my breaks the first thing I did was pull the front privacy curtains closed and turned the AC up to max.
In warm humid air condensation builds up quickly as the curtains direct the cold air onto the inside of the windshield. I plug in my blue tooth headset to charge. Then as I waited for the condensation to build I change into my sleepers and started pulling out what I had decided to eat from the larder in my truck. After about 15 minutes go back up to the front seat and hit the washers and wipers. Then sit back down to eat or read as my meal was warming in the 12V tool box heater. Eat then back to the front seat and hit the washers and wipers again. No matter how bad the bug spatters are this cleaned 95% of them off within the area where the wipers swipe. Then put the truck on idle management and close the back curtains to the sleeper. Plug the phone in to charge and set it’s timer to wake me when I desired, turn off the life and cover up and go to sleep reading my Kindle. Usually wake once about 5 hours later to use the pee jug and then back down for more sleep.
I almost always wake up before the alarm. First thing use the pee jug. Second thing sit in the drivers seat and pour a cup of coffee out my thermos. Third crack the window and light a cigarette. Fourth, put on my blue tooth head set and start checking out the news, emails, etc on the phone.
After enough coffee and perhaps a 2nd smoke I climb back into the back and grab my electric shaver and return to the front seat and shave. Open the window and clean the shaver heads well using a little brush and then put it all away. Take off the sleepers and change underwear after cleaning the nether regions well with baby wipes. Deodorant and after shave next. Clean socks and shirt next but jeans I will typically only change every other day. Pull out the tooth brush and toothpaste and a large bottle of mouthwash to have the ready and then if hungry eat some breakfast usually consisting of a crumb cake and a can of Doles Tropical fruit or unsweetened fruit cocktail. Another smoke.
I brush my teeth while doing a walk around on the rig to check it out using the mouthwash to rinse both brush and mouth. Then once back in the truck put everything away and tidy up the bed.
Then it pull back the curtains, strap them back, and put the GPS in it’s magnetic holder and get it set to go. Take the truck off idle management and set it for fast idle and release the trailer brakes while leaving the tractor breaks on. After that I usually have time to burn and that is when I answer emails or post something on one of the several message boards I frequent or read more news etc until time to go.
Ah…. “put the truck on idle management”….always wondered how truckers kept their rigs running through the night.
This pretty much sounds like most of our glorious camping trips… 😀
It is kind of like RVing but without a bathroom or camp fire or shower. Gotta use a truck stop for some of those.
No, not all trucks have idle management. Some idle through the night. Mine you set it on idle management and the heater or AC in the sleeper and any lights run off a set of batteries set between the frame rails under the utility deck of the tractor., When the batteries start to run down the truck automatically starts until they’re charged and then the truck shuts down. Other trucks have a separate little engine and generator that provides the power for lights and environmental control.
When they put that system on reefer units decades back if the guy next to me unit shut off it’d wake me. So being used to noise , I’d flip the switch back to constant so I could keep sleeping. 😉
A long time ago we had throttle screw in cab twist left until desired idle just like lots of cars had a choke cable with a button in the middle to release, later you could buy a lil gizmo that hooked under the dash with small pole to put on foot pedal and adjust. Now I punch cruise control once for high idle and nap time.
Thanks for the education jay!
