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 †

Thanks for sharing! I never read a word of the new testament until this year. My husband is a Christian and I am not (or was not). I had this huge desire to open a bible and just start reading. My husband and I are having deeper conversations than ever before, my children dance to worship music, we’ve been visiting church, daily scripture, it just feels right. I haven’t been baptized yet, but I feel like I’m on my way there. I love Jesus and his messages.
Thank YOU for sharing! That was wonderful to read. You’ve made my day ?
Ceak, you are indeed on your way — not to baptism but to saving faith in Christ. I’m reposting this just for you. Blessings.
Jesus is alive and the Bible is true! Seek Him while He can be found, call on Him while He is near! Glory!

Thank you so much for posting this . . . one of my favorites of all times.
I would like to post this youtube video of a “nature film” set to “Finlandia” . . . showing the beauty of Finland . . .
I post it on a somewhat regular basis on twitter, while trying to get the word out that the new BRI (Belt and Road Initiative project) currently in the works should really be carefully considered . . . BRI, that means the PRC . . . “helping” the people of Estonia and Finland by building this train tunnel between Tallinn and Helsinki . . . what will become of the great treasures of nature . . . Peter Vesterbecka (the Angry Birds guy) is working to help see this project through . . .
Vesterbecka seemed puzzled, perplexed, why would people be worried about China doing this great thing? What’s the worst that could happen? China could shut down the tunnel.
China’s BRI should be rejected wherever it is “offered”. It is merely a lure to sucker unsuspecting and or greedy officials into opening the door to the PRC gaining control over critical infrastructure and the targeted country’s economy. That will lead eventually to the PRC using that infrastructure to extort more from the nation until it is under PRC domination and communist control. Extortion, bribery, and coercion are the tools of the criminal enterprise.
Socialist nations such as Finland are increasingly on the brink of financial ruin as they have for too long been spending more national wealth on socialist “benefits” than the country can collectively produce. They and poor countries whose economies were run into the red by dictatorial despots are China’s primary targets for BRI “offers”.
Isaiah 11:11 And it will be in that day, LORD JEHOVAH shall add his hand the second time to purchase the remnant of his people who were left from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathrus, and from Cush, and from Ilam, and from Seir, and from Khamath and from the islands of the sea.
(note:) Jehovah (/dʒɪˈhoʊvə/) is a Latinization of the Hebrew יְהֹוָה Yəhōwā, one vocalization of the Tetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH), the proper name of the God of Israel in the Hebrew Bible[1][2] and is considered one of the seven names of God in Judaism.
Isaiah 11:12 And he shall lift up a sign to the nations, and he shall gather the wanderers of Israel, and he shall gather the scattered ones of Judea from the four edges of the Earth.
Remember our little “argument” over the “tribes”?
28/7/10:10
Reminds me of Mathew 24:31. ESV.
Great days await! ✝️
And oh, no “argument” from me✌️

Watched an evening of the Olympics tonight. The thread that ran through all of it, that seems to be the theme of this Olympics, was the constant yammering about how much pressure the athletes are under, as if this was something new. “The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat” appears to have been replaced by “the pressure of expectations and the relief that comes from quitting.”
I expect product advertising to follow suit. Will Nike’s slogan “Just do it” be changed to “Just quit” or maybe “Just emote over it”?
But I suppose it was only a matter of time. In fact, it is rather surprising it took this long. What other result can be expected when participation medals are awarded for coming in second and third?
Will Nike’s slogan “Just do it” be changed to “Just quit” or maybe “Just emote over it”?
Just Spew It
Hasn’t Nike’s real motto always been ‘just pretend’.
Just Posture
The new slogan.
Colin’s always ready to take one for the team.
“just quit”
Yeah, I understand that perspective
But I watched her speak about it a bit on TV and commentators mentioned a bad landing she had
I’d speculate that she got a real scare
Like a sensation on that landing (and/or maybe others recently) that she may have had a foreboding of being a hair’s breadth away from catastrophic injury
And that may have shaken her to the point that she no longer had self-confidence
Honestly coming to grips that she was no longer 100%, I think she reasoned that the rest of her team would be better off competing without her in the later team event, that she felt she might jeapordize THEIR concerted effort as a team as a result of her loss of confidence
She’s 24
She’s not as flexible and springy as those little chicks are at 15, no matter her level of training
Like I said, I think she got a potential catastrophic injury scare, or at very least came face to face with the realization she could no longer go flat out 100 percent
… and that put her off her own self-confidence, the kind that’s necessary to go flat out
Speculating, of course, but I think she made an honest judgment and assessment and then decided
I’ll take it as an honest athlete self-assessment
YMMV
… it’s unfortunate she worded it in terms of “mental health”, as that comes across as kinda snowflakey
but I’m still thinking about the underlying motives the way I described above
Good point. Over at Fox, the commenters are not being very open to other ideas.
Their is heavy emphasis on the ‘quitter’ idea, that she kept a spot from another athlete and mental weakness in an Olympian.
There was a prior push, oh about 15-20 years ago or maybe longer, to not have such young kids, like Nadia Comeneci, competing in gymnastics…I think there was a youngster who broke her neck on the uneven parallel bars…
Flexibility aside, I remember long ago, in my horse competition years…at 12 and 14, I climbed back on and continued what I was doing prior to finding myself on the ground. At age 25, I was a little more realistic and had a hard time “throwing my heart over the fence so my horse would follow”. Finding lost confidence, is hard to do, IMHO.
You might be on to something…given those high aerials Simone is known for.
I had a catastrophic, life changing injury a year ago. If I’d had one glimpse of what was to come I’d have given up almost anything at all to stop it.
I wish her well and hope she remains healthy and strong. If she felt as you describe she was wise to seize her chance to save herself.
Read a description of “the twisties” and could relate. One of my kids did tumbling/gymnastics and cheerleading for a bit.
I was very relieved when she had to leave off cheerleading because they were doing dangerous stunts that were inappropriate especially on hard surfaces.
Every activity has cost/benefit calculations.
I wish the best to Simone Biles and if she were my daughter I would be thankful that she made a healthier choice in her situation.
There are always excuses available to justify quitting. The short of it is, she lost her nerve. It happens. But it has gotten to the point that she is being rewarded for it. And the famous swimmer would still have gone through what he went through had he been an accounting major, gone to work for a big accounting firm, and never ever even entered a swimming pool. We are who we are, and we do what we need to do to get by. But we are reinforcing a “do karate maybe” attitude, and seeing the result.
Just quit
Try telling your boss that you didn’t land an account because trying to close that sale was just too hard, too stressful, too much of a strain on your nerves, so you had to stop trying. Surely his response will be “that’s OK, here’s a silver ornament for your desk for coming in second.” Yeah. That happens all the time. And The Masters awards a pink jacket to the player who comes in third, right?
Everyone gets knocked down. The test is whether you get back up.
Agree 100%.
What if our soldiers, sailors, and airmen had had a sense of foreboding and “just quit” in a battle??
Increasingly over the past 5 decades I have watched more highly-seeded athletes drop out of competition claiming various minor injuries, personal problems, or now, whatever mental confusion distracted them. We are becoming a nation of wimps who are so inwardly-focused that they cannot fathom and support a cause greater than themselves.
We will pay a terrible price for this trend if it continues to be excused, exhorted and applauded by the pop culture.
Try this on for size. Is giving up, surrender behavior deliberately being modeled to us?
Sure. Of course thats what the Global Fascists want – they want us to get used to kneeling down for their commands. No pushback whatsoever. The totalitarian’s ultimate dream.
Now I am actually looking forward to watching the olympics tonight just to see how loser/quitter/surrender behavior will be modeled. Maybe sympathy and support for those who don’t win? More encouragement of quitting? Maybe more elevation of participation silver/bronze loser medals as if they have meaning? So how long before the message becomes “why even try?” Hey! That’s it! The new Nike slogan. Why even try?
The new Nike slogan – The government will tell you what to do. Just do it.
Ahhhhh. Now I get it. What is being modeled is what has been modeled all along: a lack of faith, and the fear that results from it. They have been hard selling fear and faithlessness for 18 months, but it didn’t take. So now they are hard selling it again, masks for everyone. Face fear flags.
Remember you are talking to several generations where many received ‘participation trophies’, got ‘passing grades’ for misspellings and math errors, and have been rewarded for getting ‘studies degrees’ from ‘elite’ institutions by being allowed to scrounge off their parents into their 30’s and 40’s.
Dear Heavenly Father ..As the lost and demonic forces rage against the body of Christ and as their persecution increases and intensifies.. Please dear God..hear our plea for relief and vindication. We pray that You will protect and defend your body here on earth Lord..and strengthen Your people Father so that we are ready for the spiritual battle that is growing more intense by the day. In the Holy name of Jesus I pray.
AMEN
Reminds me of Revelation 6:9-11 ESV. ?
Massive thanks for your prayer(s). ?
Amen.
Amen…..
BUFFALO SOLDIERS DAY
Buffalo Soldiers Day on July 28th commemorates the formation of the first regular Army regiments comprising African American soldiers in 1866.
Congress established the first peacetime all-black regiments in the regular U.S. Army after the end of the Civil War. The Buffalo Soldiers (one of many African-American regiments raised during the Civil War) were the first instituted.
Since they were frontier regiments, Buffalo Soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalries protected unsettled lands as pioneers moved westward. They also faced the hardships of the Wild West. During and after the Civil War, Army desertion rates remained high. However, among Buffalo Soldiers, low rates prevailed. They were also noted for their dedication and commitment during the Spanish-American War and other engagements during the late 1800s.
During World War I, each unit received stateside assignments, with some exceptions. Yet, neither unit saw action during World War II. In 1944, the Army activated both regiments and transferred service members to other units, as integration in the military began.
Someone put joke glasses (the type with a nose) on a wig, and the wig started singing and strumming.

This is interesting. What is the first Rock and Roll song? Some say Rocket 88. Some say Caldonia. Some say Sh’boom. I say “no” to all 3. If we define rock and roll as essentially boogie woogie with no half beats, none of the above are rock and roll, but are all boogie woogie. See the next 3 videos. First the analysis, then the other 2 songs. Hear the difference? So, what is the first rock and roll song?
And on a very sad note, that lil’ ole’ band from Texas just got littler.

Oops.
What was he thinking?
Mornin all.
Up and ready to take that Nestle’s load but apparently the trailer is not loaded yet. The trailer was supposed to be loaded at 03:00 and I am supposed to depart with it at 05:30. This is not uncommon for Nestle’s. They have often failed to meet the schedule they set in the past and of course don’t give a damn about the drivers or his/her operating hours. This is one reason why the company I work for has cut way down on the loads they haul for them.
So I called into dispatch to ensure the trailer was ready and they in turn have to send an e-mail to Nestle’s to find out why it isn’t and when it will be. I won’t go in until it is ready since I only live 15 minutes from the terminal and Nestle’s is just across the street. Dispatch is supposed to call me when the load is ready.
The other thing Nestle’s does is schedule the majority of their pickups in a narrow time window. Thus it is not uncommon for there to be 20 or 30 trucks lined up from the gate then outside the facility and down the street in front of of the entrances and exits of our facility. There are signs out informing the drivers not to block our company drives, but many of the dumb suckers do anyway.
And people wonder why the country is short by about 40% of the Class A trucker drivers they say are needed?
God bless Nestle Truckers on Chocolate Milk day!

Wondering how many people that took the shot feel betrayed and understand they were lied to?
Sat next to a lady who informed me her 2nd jab was hurting and she was definitely feeling it (flu like). So in the spirit of sarcasm mixed with pity and a mental (you idiot) I joked that as long as she didn’t grow an extra pair of fingers (which may come in handy if you’re a keyboard player) besides actually dying, she shouldn’t have much to worry about. Look it this way I advised, it’s like taking the lotto or entering a draw. You’ve got 1 in 1000000 chance of winning, and in this case it’s the same, except it’s the 1 in 1000000 that you die. Funny that look of dread in the eyes once the computation takes place. How is it we laugh at the winning chance, but are filled with the sure knowledge that OUR 1 in a million is a sure winner – and death? appears math is definitely subjective when fear is the overriding equation.
Mornin’ infidels!
AFTER OBEDIENCE – WHAT?
“And straightway He constrained His disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side…” Mark vi. 45-52
We are apt to imagine that if Jesus Christ constrains us, and we obey Him, He will lead us to great success. We must never put our dreams of success as God’s purpose for us; His purpose may be exactly the opposite. We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal; He is not. The question of getting to a particular end is a mere incident. What we call the process, God calls the end.
What is my dream of God’s purpose? His purpose is that I depend on Him and on His power now. If I can stay in the middle of the turmoil calm and unperplexed, that is the end of the purpose of God. God is not working towards a particular finish; His end is the process – that I see Him walking on the waves, no shore in sight, not success, no goal, just the absolute certainty that it is all right because I see Him walking on the sea. It is the process, not the end, which is glorifying to God.
God’s training is for now, not presently. His purpose is for this minute, not for something in the future. We have nothing to do with the afterwards of obedience; we get wrong when we think of the afterwards. What men call training and preparation, God calls the end.
God’s end is to enable me to see that He can walk on the chaos of my life just now. If we have a further end in view, we do not pay sufficient attention to the immediate present: if we realize that obedience is the end, then each moment as it comes is precious.

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.
Thank you duchess for all your posts. Always glad to see you!
This morning I happened onto Psalm 5 (BSB) on Biblehub.org and it really encouraged me –
Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.
Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God,
for to You I pray.
In the morning You hear my voice;
At daybreak I lay my plea before You
and wait in expectation.
For You are not a God that delights in wickedness;
no evil can dwell with You.
The boastful cannot stand in Your presence;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
You destroy those who tell lies;
The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
But I will enter Your house
by the abundance of Your loving devotion;
in reverence I will bow down
toward Your holy temple.
Lead me O LORD in Your righteousness
because of my enemies;
make straight Your way before me.
For not a word they speak can be trusted;
destruction lies within them.
Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.
Declare them guilty O God;
let them fall by their own devices.
Drive them out for their many transgressions,
for they have rebelled against You.
But let all who take refuge in You rejoice;
let them ever shout for joy.
May You shelter them,
that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
For surely You, O LORD, bless the righteous;
You surround them with the shield of Your favor.
I’m praying this today. It almost sounds like an attorney making a plea before THE JUDGE, doesn’t it?
One more verse for good measure –
Matthew 18:19
Again, I tell you truly that if two of you on the earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Amen ?

Regarding Simone Biles’ withdrawal, starting with “trapper” at 2:04am and including “Marquis”, “Jim”, “Mopar”, “Nimrodman”,
“aggiegirl”, “flyover”, “menagerie”, “GB Barri”
On another thread
somebody?? “dococc”??
recently expressed displeasure at ?”USWGT Coaches”?? and ?”IOC”??
for “forcing” out “the greatest gymnast in history” for woke reasons.
I had questions about that.
Now I got my answer:
Breitbart Headline:
“Simone Biles Drops Olympic All-around Competition to Focus on Mental Health”
And way down in the last paragraph: “Jade Carey, who finished ninth in qualifying, will take Biles’ place in the all-around.”
DING!
I thought (and so did the Announcers) when it happened that Carey’s score was a rip off, explainable (to me, they were merely angrily baffled) only by a desire to purge the only Nordic from the Headline All Around.
But I slandered Biles and, perhaps, some of her teammates in believing she/they were “down” with that.
Now I think Biles courageously and shrewdly took the only course open to her to redress that injustice.
interesting
thx for posting that, Hermit
This early article clearly mentions she suffered an injury on that vault landing … this or other articles also inferred that she realized she wasn’t at top competitive level
Olympic Champ Simone Biles Out of Team Finals
TOKYO (AP) — Reigning Olympic gymnastics champion Simone Biles is out of the team finals after apparently suffering an injury during the vault.
The 24-year-old U.S. star, considered to be the greatest gymnast of all time, huddled with a trainer after landing her vault. She then exited the competition floor with the team doctor.
Biles returned several minutes later with her right leg wrapped.
She took off her bar grips, hugged teammates Grace McCallum, Sunisa Lee and Jordan Chiles before putting on a jacket and sweatpants.
And on another note back a couple days.
Breitbart says “Japan accused of ‘Lying like [a dog]’ about ‘mild’
summers.”
Geesh! Any watcher of Japanese Anime knows it gets hotter than Gehenna there in Summer.
Somebody got “gulled” or somebody got graft.
Probably both.

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…
