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 †

Love the Shape Note singing at the beginning of this.
Nice!
So amazing to hear that voice come out of a toothless mouth!

Oh boy, that’s making me kinda hungry.
Linda did her homework by listening to Rosemary . . .
In an odd way, this scene from The 3rd Man reminds me of events that may be taking place at the moment in Kabul . . . Definitely,that is a place I wouldn’t want to be in right now.
This is the ending scene to the best spy film ever made. if you haven’t watched The 3rd Man I definitely recommend it. I’ve watched it at least a dozen times and it never seems to grow old.
We were all taught in grade school that wars are won and lost on the battlefields and with surrender ceremonies. What a childish view of the world.
I have to listen to this album again. Been a while!
Hey How’s your day? Are we shooting for lyrics or rhythm today?
My day was ok….how ’bout yours?
Hmm….Lyrics or rhythm….How about both!? hehe! 😉 (Love me some Scorps)
Good one…those Scorps make ya feel the sting…lol…Have a Great Night!
Beautiful paintings.
I have been seeing a number of Treepers frequenting sites and commenting around the platforms where Devolution is discussed, I am curious (Sundance if You are listening) since recently finding out Patel
Patriot will be speaking at a General Flynn participating in conference (rally) in Vegas soon …. Is there more of me in here following the Devolution Theory ?
You would spend your time more productively by reading and re-reading Sundance’s articles here on how the current government actually works than by chasing daydreams.
The US government is a massive behemoth whose direction can be modified, if done with nuance. Trump made significant course changes, and the …. whatever you want to call them …. are now frantically trying to put America BACK on their original autopilot course. But their attempts have no nuance, no subtlety, and therein lies their inherent flaw. They will lose. They can’t HELP but lose, and they don’t even know it.
Faith, brother. It will be alright.

Do you realize how cultish that statement sounds? I don’t know anything about devolution but I would surely hate telling somebody which articles would better serve their time. It is that persons time to be served as he or she sees fit. That’s called individual freedom and that’s something our founders cherished. Asking a simple question about devolution doesn’t deserve a response insinuating for all to see that in your mind that persons intellect is somehow inferior to yours.
i had read the first 7 parts weeks ago. Thanks to you i just read part 8. I have no more ‘proof’ than anyone else, but my brain says the possibility that any of it is true is the best hope we have going forward.
I do not believe it is in President Trump’s nature to let this travesty of justice go unavenged.
The other thing i find encouraging: Lin Wood, General Flynn, Sidney Polwell and other fighters are still going forward relentlessly.
People smarter than I am see signs that Devolution is happening.
I remember seeing this show when I was little (not this episode). What a hoot!
1965. Gorgeous Teacher
Car w/o a motor.
Thanks for the memories, Sunnydaze!
Ok. One more and I promise I’ll stop. Wish they’d bring back re-runs of this show.
24 August 1963
Stevie Wonder became the first artist ever to score a US #1 album and single in the same week. Wonder was at the top of the LP chart with “Little Stevie Wonder / The 12 Year Old Genius” and had the #1 single with “Fingertips part 2”, which was also the first ever live recording to lead the hit parade.
24 August 1995
Microsoft’s Windows 95 was released using a commercial featuring The Rolling Stones song “Start Me Up” (a reference to the Start button). Microsoft paid Mick Jagger and Keith Richards twelve million pounds for the use of the song, which Microsoft detractors were quick to point out, contains the lyrics “You make a grown man cry.”
24 August 2017
The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville hosted an invitation-only memorial for Glen Campbell. Among those appearing were Jimmy Webb, who played a piano/vocal version of “Wichita Lineman”, as well as Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and the current Beach Boys line-up who performed “I Get Around”, one of numerous titles that Campbell played on as studio musician.

August 24, 2021 Charlie Watts passes at 80.
The Rolling Stones long time drummer from shortly before they became famous till now. He married his current wife in 1964 and passed on groupies and remained faithful to her all his life. Has been voted “Best Dressed” in more than a few polls.
Fingertips II !!!!
The audience is so chill and blase listening to that. LOL
Back in the early 70s I lived in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. After midnight many of the local radio stations went off the air. I would get in my car and drive around listening the the radio. Wolfman Jack’s show would come through loud and clear along with a country and western station from somewhere in Texas. The Texas station played a lot of Glen Campbell. It was great for those times when I was feeling homesick for the good ol’ USA. Thanks for the memories.
Dear Heavenly Father hear our fervent prayers for relief from this well deserved chastisement. Our leaders have led us into the wilderness. Many followed them blindly. All seems lost as we wander and wonder what will become of and those we love. Hears our petitions Father and change the hearts of those yet in power and show them the error of taking this path to destruction. In the Name of Jesus we humbly ask.
Amen. Beautiful Mr Budreau.
Heavenly Father..We know you hold the devastated people of Tennessee in the palm of Your Hand. Give them strength to endure this tragedy and rebuild during this time of great need. In Jesus name we humbly ask for Your favor.
THE SPIRITUAL INDEX
“Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Matthew vii. 9
The illustration of prayer that Our Lord uses here is that of a good child asking for a good thing. We talk about prayer as if God heard us irrespective of the fact of our relationship to Him (cf. Matthew v. 45). Never say it is not God’s will to give you what you ask, don’t sit down and faint, but find out the reason, turn up the index. Are you rightly related to your wife, to your husband, to your children, to your fellow students – are you a “good child” there? “O Lord, I have been irritable and cross, but I do want spiritual blessing.” You cannot have it, you will have to do without until you come into the attitude of a good child.
We mistake defiance for devotion; arguing with God for abandonment. We will not look at the index. Have I been asking God to give me money for something I want when there is something I have not paid for? Have I been asking God for liberty while I am withholding it from someone who belongs to me? I have not forgiven someone his trespasses; I have not been kind to him; I have not been living as God’s child among my relatives and friends. (v.12)
I am a child of God only by regeneration, and as a child of God I am good only as I walk in the light. Prayer with most of us is turned into pious platitude, it is a matter of emotion, mystical communion with God. Spiritually we are all good at producing fogs. If we turn up the index, we will see very clearly what is wrong – that friendship, that debt, that temper of mind. It is no use praying unless we are living as children of God. Then, Jesus says – “Everyone that asketh receiveth.”
Oswald Chambers
August 24th Devotional
What we ask for is not what we desire or Gods best
The world’s measuring stick is corrupt.
In job there are many questions God asks job. when we can answer those questions I say we have a chance to ask of God and receive the answer. Or more truly, understand his answer.
I do not believe he does not answer any question or prayer.
And that is the whole point of his son and word which are one, to teach us of our creator.
Day 10 of 30 Collective Fast
The Lord hears us when we cry out to Him.
Lord, hear us now as we pray for the healing and restoration of our nation.
Heal the divisions created by men, that we would be again One Nation, Under God, Individisible, with Liberty and Justice for All.
Mornin’ infidels.
the additional pic at the top of the post sort of says it all today.?
one of the saddest things about benghazi, among all the sadness there,
was the thought of those men on the rooftop waiting for help which would never come.
not only which would never come, but was never sent….
and it may be those waiting for rescue from Afghanistan being added to this sorrow. Heartbreaking doesn’t begin to describe this.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Amen ?
The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.

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.

Great Paraklesis or Canon of Supplication to the Theotokos this evening
hoping this link works, when first trying to share it had that really long string after the URL’s question mark (?) and the page immediately went real wide, so following a Treeper’s comments, have deleted everything past the question mark, and then deleted the question mark, and the CTH page went back to normal size.
If the link doesn’t work, not sure how to then post it so it doesn’t mess with the size of the CTH page, but, if anyone else follows the bad cat, el gato malo’s substack page, it’s a pretty good look into the consequences if the politicians (governors) and businesses (hospitals) don’t stop mandating vaccines for healthcare workers.
If the link posts, then thank you for the Treeper that mentioned how to delete the string after the “.jpg”

Excellent, good to pass along to others
Guess the price of Avocados produced in south Florida is going to go up; in today’s Federal Register the Agricultural Marketing Service of the USDA has increased the price ten cents per 55lb bushel – is this just to give the employees in that division of the USDA a pay raise or a backdoor means to hurt Florida businesses? Is this normal to raise rates like this during a declining economy, i.e. business as usual?
Asking because the prices of avocados farmed in California or other States aren’t being raised.

More bad news from the music world… Charlie Watts has moved on from the world today… Rest in peace, Charlie, you were the ties that bound, most certainly.
There’s no way they could have earned ” the greatest rock n’ roll band ever” moniker without you.
Trump Rally – Cullman AL 8/21/21 – some numbers are emerging.

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.
