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 Song for you. Happy Birthday JoeJoe!
Juanita. . . what are you up to . . .
list=RDEM0JRk7FposeS8VZkSq7csGw&index=2
One of the most underrted and underappreciated bands… but also a personal favorite. I can only wish there was a much more extensive catalogue of their music because it was unique, fun and well done.
Was wondering’ awhile back if anyone here (CTH) ever listened to Little Feat…. Got my answer now!
Glad you pulled these out of the closet for us today, Garrison!
?
Big Feat fan here.
Small L.A. band laid down some of their best studio work, right up the road from you @ blue seas studio, a converted houseboat on the Patapsco River, near the harbor. It burned down during the session, and the tracks were completed in a house in Cockeysville. The product was 1974’s Feats Don’t Fail Me Now, I’ve been hooked on Lowell George era Little Feat since the WHFS (“feast your ears”) days, as well as when they got airplay on WAYE 860 AM radio.
Rock on, GB.
Md. has a pretty cool history, in music as well.
Better than Bonnie, IMO.
Oh yes. Heres a great recap of that. I remember seeing the house barge that they had moved into moored at one of piers along Pratt Street.

Found you in the bin…. 🙁
Well thank you Ma’am!
Guess my hyperlink didn’t meet the AI censor’s approval… ?
Nah…it was found in the spam bin, so it was a totally random thing…IMO.
Well ok then. ?
That’s really neat, I hadn’t read that account before, thank you.

Amsterdam sure has had some stunning acts perform there – Deep song, beautifully sung. What I did manage to hear from the words, it is one of those that make one go hmmmm??? I love those, kinda like playing Sherlock Holmes, trying to fathom the “meaning”. Usually though, like good poetry, one can “lift” almost anything that, in some fashion fits “your” life, or life experience – that’s the point isn’t it?? – really good heart felt, soulful writing IS true to all of us in some or other way.
Nice.
Heartfelt wonderful song.
I love ice skating! So graceful. She is very good. I have watched it for years until recently.So, I have never seen this skater before. Thanks.
In figure skating, she’s the world’s greatest spinner. As you can see she’s relatively tall which is probably part of why she’s not a good jumper (center of gravity is too high), but the spinning is beyond belief. You can also see she’s had incredible ballet training and it shows. She is incredibly elegant, connects all the movement, and is very musical. When she spins, though, it’s as if she’s in another world. Sadly, she’s suffered a brain injury from it, as other skaters have where they measure the G-force and what’s happening to their brain within their skull is not good. Anyway, she’s one of my favorite skaters. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
A little off topic, but Hollywood actress puts Hillary Clinton on notice (Gateway Pundit). Rose McGowan might want to disappear for a while before Hillary has her “suicided”.
7 September 1958
Georgia Gibbs performs “The Hula-Hoop Song” on The Ed Sullivan Show, boosting the craze that is sweeping North America. The song would be the last of nine Top-40 hits for Gibbs.
7 September 1974
Elton John is awarded a Gold record for “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me”. The single was #2 on the Hot 100 for four straight weeks, but was kept out of the top spot by John Denver’s “Annie’s Song”, Roberta Flack’s “Feel Like Makin’ Love” and Paper Lace’s “The Night Chicago Died”.
7 September 1988
Barry Sadler, who scored a huge 1966 hit with “Ballad Of The Green Berets”, is shot while riding in a Guatemala City taxi. Whether someone shot him or the pistol he carried accidentally discharged, will probably never be known. Sadler was hospitalized for 14 months before dying of his injuries.
katie sunshine ( hula hooper)
I could watch her hoops all day….. ?
That’ll be a *great* memory for that woman to hang on to when her mother passes.
That exchange is so amazing. The tenderness, vulnerability, and love was so palpable. What a gift for the daughter to have, as you say, as one among an infinite number of memories of her Mom. And what a gift to others to share the video.
How about this..The British Empire using the English language was chosen by G-D and tasked to spread The Gospel of Salvation to a world of godless pagans. For the most part despite great opposition that mission has been accomplished.
As The Gospel spread an evil cynicism descended upon the western countries. A diabolical force so evil that it drove our once Christian nation to the point of depravity that it allowed the murder of 65 + million innocent children. Through enacted law this evil force was able to twist reality and so darken the collective conscience that mass murder became acceptable.
That acquiescence to evil has brought us to where we are now.
The soul can never go astray if the Bible is ones treasure trove of moral virtues, wisdom, etc.
Let’s pray for America that we corporately turn to God and away from our personal sins and national sins so offensive to Him.
HE is our only hope. ✝️
Please compare British vs Spanish empire’s results in spreading the gospel. It seems to me that Britain transplanted Christians more than spreading the Gospel, and Spain converted natives to Christianity more than transplanting Christians. And both did what they did while also committing atrocities.
The evil you speak of, is just the fraction that has occurred in America. It is much bigger than that throughout the world. Not just in the lands Britain once ruled. Nor just in those once ruled by Spain. That evil has spread through most of the world.
And, while it was growing via enacted laws, it was forced on the country as a whole via unenacted laws. Nine Men in black robes voted and the majority declared that they could see it hiding in the Constitution. (In reality it was left to the states.) Making it a law that wasn’t passed by any legislature nor signed by any President. A grotesque usurpation of power.
Yes, the evils keep a coming. And yes, even those who don’t partake acquiesce.
Astute observation Jim. The Spanish, and to a lesser extent the Portuguese, were spreading Christianity to every continent in the 15th and 16th Century, before there was a British empire. Disaffected British subjects were transplanted Christians, but over all Protestant evangelization outside of Europe and America wasn’t prevalent until the late 18th and early 19th century, when they made real inroads in the few parts of Africa not already evangelized by the Catholic church.
2 Thessalonians 1:5-12 ESV.
He. Sees. Perfectly.
After watching a hilarious (to my mind anyway) Rickie Gervais stand up show on Netflix – I know, I know, the man is a self confessed and “proud” atheist. I still find his (British humor) blunt, honest, in your face sense of comedy refreshing – I mean he will trash anybody regardless – at least he is being dead honest – to hell with all the thought and speech “offense” police.
Anyway one of the things that stood out to me was what I would assume to be a perfectly logical question coming from an atheist – “if God is so powerful, can do anything,,right….why doesn’t he just KILL the devil – boom like that – evil gone. Fair question I suppose, then it came to me – Rickie, the reason is – God is so pure, so perfect, so kind, so merciful, He needs to use guys a little less perfect to enact the ass kicking, shaking, and general wake the hell up duties. (those are the fire and brimstone prophet types) – I assume their “ass-kicking” sins will be forgiven later on. Then for the more “sensitive” and logical folk, we have the Saul/Paul righteous and Godly examples to follow. Don’t know if that will satisfy the mans curiosity, but I like to think of it that way.
O sorry, forgot to answer the mans question. Actually, I danno, I would have, for sure. But to be honest I don’t really dwell on the afterlife stuff – what’s it like, will I meet aunt Tilly, my alcoholic Father, my beloved yorkie?? Too much unknowable stuff, and I firmly believe that dwelling on evil, evil spirits, satan, the devil, witchcraft, “the other side”, whatever is NOT something us humans should be playing around with. Personally I’m certainly not equipped to deal with it, spiritually or otherwise – I’ll stick to the good side, thank you very much. Although I always wanted to meet a “ghost” – assuming of course that I survive the initial encounter, and have a good old sit down about what the deal is “over there”. Nowadays of course it doesn’t bother me at all – I’ll take the word of people far, FAR higher than me spiritually – they certainly seem to have absolutely NO doubt as to the potential “good times”.
Like this.
SPRINGS OF BENIGNITY
“The water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water.” John iv. 14
The picture Our Lord gives is not that of a channel but a fountain. “Be being filled,” and the sweetness of vital relationship to Jesus will flow out of the saint as lavishly as it is imparted to him. If you find your life is not flowing out as it should, you are to blame; something has obstructed the flow. Keep right at the Source, and – you will be blessed personally? No, out of you will flow rivers of living water, irrepressible life.
We are to be centres through which Jesus can flow as rivers of living water in blessing to everyone. Some of us are like the Dead Sea, always taking in but never giving out, because we are not rightly related to the Lord Jesus. As surely as we receive from Him, He will pour out through us, and in the measure He is not pouring out, there is a defect in our relationship to Him. Is there anything between you and Jesus Christ? Is there anything that hinders your belief in Him? If not, Jesus says, out of you will flow rivers of living water. It is not a blessing passed on, not an experience stated, but a river continually flowing. Keep at the Source, guard well your belief in Jesus Christ and your relationship to Him, and there will be a steady flow for other lives, no dryness and no deadness.
Is it not too extravagant to say that out of an individual believer rivers are going to flow? “I do not see the rivers,” you say. Never look at yourself from the standpoint of – Who am I? In the history of God’s work you will nearly always find that it has started from the obscure, the unknown, the ignored, but the steadfastly true to Jesus Christ.

Does anyone doubt that the same people that stress over COVID to the point where they wear masks when driving a car alone or when outside alone, are also true believers in catastrophic human caused “climate change”?
That the majority of those that object to genetically modified crops for food also are proponents for everyone to get the COVID shots to modify their mRNA?

PSALM 95
O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

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.
I have heard the theory that the flood was necessary due to a genetic destruction of the human race.
When angels interacted with women they produced giants which would eventually spoil all human genetic purity, therefore Jesus would not have a pure host such as Mary. Only the purest lines of human species would be saved, Noah and his family.
Trying to put together “why” God does what he does is impossible, Satan has been trying forever.
The Bible does give account for the angels and giants, also the destruction of mankind. There are no giants today for a purpose.
My thought is this, if men are again attempting to genetically disrupt mankind I believe Gods hands will soon appear.
“Where sin abounds grace does much more abound”
We can mess up lots of “stuff” but ultimately it is God who fixes it.
I look at men who achieve financial superiority to a degree unimaginable, but never touch on the issue of God, Jesus, or any issue beyond themselves, as if they believe they are Gods or something. It never occurs to them the riches could be used to project mankind into a future based on Gods principles.
Not a single one?
Imagine if Gods principles were used in all areas of life. Leave out religion if you wish just use what God teaches.
Our achievements would be unlimited, literally.
But men, for whatever reason, cannot allow individuals to be independent of their influence. They must be better or rule over the other and it is not their place.
Money seems to be the one thing that reveals the enemy in all his ways but people never look at him they only see the money.
“My thought is this, if men are again attempting to genetically disrupt mankind I believe Gods hands will soon appear.
“Where sin abounds grace does much more abound” – spot on. I have it on good authority that THIS is definitely the darkest generation, the darkest hours, with man now capable of destroying life as we know it – maybe a few species will survive a nuclear winter, or 1000 year fires as foretold by the Prophet Isaiah, I think. What would those be other than the ME oil “lakes” burning due to same. As for the “humanoids”, I believe that is EXACTLY what Fauci and Co are attempting.
So you can take it to the bank (well maybe not), that God has/is/will and always has/d THIS time, this generation in mind. I firmly believe THIS is it – and now it’s up to us to “prepare the way”, become worthy if you will, cleanse ourselves as best we can for the day.
“A title given to Messiah: “Sar Shalom.” It means “Prince of Peace.” More than that, it means, “Prince of Shalom,” Prince of fullness, wholeness, completion, perfection, well-being, soundness, blessing, and prosperity. “Sar” means “master” or “ruler.” Messiah is the “Ruler of Shalom,” “Master of Shalom.” He rules and commands shalom. If you belong to Him, you are called by His name, so live as a little version of Him, a little ruler of peace, a master of shalom. Become an authority on shalom, one who dwells in it, understands it, uses it, applies it, an expert on shalom. You are empowered to become a ruler of shalom. Messiah ruled shalom; He commanded it. He said, “Shalom be to you.” In the same way, you are to command peace; rule shalom. No matter what the situation, you have the power to command the peace of Messiah into it. Whatever you are going through, you have the power to command the shalom of Messiah upon it. Take up your scepter, act with authority, His authority. You are called and empowered to be a ruler of peace; a master of shalom.
“I have heard the theory that the flood was necessary due to a genetic destruction of the human race.”
This theory you’ve heard doesn’t make sense to me.
If the reason for the flood was to purify the genetic code of humans, then how, after some millenia, were there Nephilim still in the land of Canaan when Moses sent the 12 scouts, as recounted in Numbers 13.
Genesis 6 seems clear, Noah was saved because of his righteousness, and humanity wiped out because of the wickedness and evil, no mention of genetics.

Well, it was a wonderful day today. I shopped in a village, near my little “dacha on the steppes.” The sunny skies reflected the calm, happy ambiance of the quaint village, with well-cared-for streets, homes, and businesses. Joyful it was that very few masks were seen, nor did I need one. All were friendly, and the store shelves were well-stocked. We must enjoy each and every day like this, and cherish them for all that they are worth.
Indeed, as echoed by the one and only Van de Man – Days like this.
So RINO Lindsey Graham wants to lead the RINOs in a reinvasion of Afghanistan following the (fraudulently elected) Biden administration’s most bungled withdrawal in world history?
I have a better idea, let’s replace the RINOs with patriots who have their heads screwed on straight. In fact, let’s replace the Democrats too with patriots who have their heads screwed on straight.
This is America First, not some RINO’s military industry complex stocks first.

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.
Amen.
Amen.
Biden essentially pulled a Trump by pulling out of Afghanistan.
The disaster us pullout was no so much a result of Biden”s incompetence, but more of the result of the 5-eyes deep-state punishing him for daring to make that move.
They made the pullout as messy as possible because it was not in line with the endless-war doctrine of the British oligarchical establishment.
Think about it, who expected Biden, of all people, to do something so damaging against the British Empire as shutting down Afghanistan? They are still freaking out, calling for his head and questioning the “special relationship”.
There is more going on than meets the eye.
The giveaway is, they are not mad at Biden for the execution of the Afghanistan pull out, they are mad at him for the pull out itself.
