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 †

✝️ DAILY DEVOTIONAL, September 27, 2021
Thinking of “today”, thinking of “now”:
2 Cor. 6:2 (cf. Isaiah 49:8)
“For He says: “In the acceptable time I listened to you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Behold, now is the time of favor; behold, now is the day of salvation.
Isaiah 55:6-7
“Seek the LORD while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts. Let them turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on them, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.”
Hebrews 3:15a (cf. Psalms 95:7-8)
“As it has been said: “If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts…”
Revelation 22:17 (cf. Isaiah 55:1)
“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come, and the one who desires the water of life drink freely.”
Thinking of why:
Romans 6:23
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
John 3:16
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Romans 5:8
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
John 5:24
“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life.”
Thinking of how:
Luke 18:13
“And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’”
James 4:8a
“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”
John 6:28-29
“Therefore they said to Him, “What must we do, that we may be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you should believe in Him whom He has sent.””
Mark 9:24b
“‘Lord, I believe; help my unbelief.'”
Acts 16:30-31
“Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.””
🙂
The background singers transport me back to a time when I wasn’t even alive!
Makes me feel closer to Grandparents, Great Grandparents. Love it.
Plus, always liked Leadbelly’s singing.
27 September 1964
The Beach Boys make their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, where they perform “I Get Around” and “Wendy”.
27 September 1969
Carlos Santana had his first taste of success when his debut LP entered Billboard’s album chart. The disc contained his hit single “Evil Ways” and would eventually hit number 4, staying on the chart for over two years. His 1999 album, “Supernatural” has sold in excess of ten million copies as well as winning a Grammy Award for Best Performance By A Duo or Group With Vocals.
27 September 1975
John Denver‘s two sided hit, “I’m Sorry” / “Calypso” reached the top of the Billboard singles chart. It was his fourth and final US number one record, although he would place six more songs in the Top 40.
Liked the Beach Boys, loved Calypso and John Denver in general!
NATIONAL CORNED BEEF HASH DAY
On September 27th, National Corned Beef Hash Day adds flavor to every meal
Corned beef hash became popular during and after World War II. Since rationing limited the availability of fresh meat, corned beef filled the gap. Cooks became creative with herbs, spices, and leftovers. Nothing was wasted. In lean times, stretching a meal became a priority.
The Hormel Company claims it introduced corned beef hash and roast beef hash to the United States as early as 1950. However, World War II reporter, Betty Wason, lists a corned beef hash recipe in her Cooking Without Cans cookbook printed in 1943. Other forms of hash existed as part of the American diet since at least the 19th century. The numerous recipes available before that time also attest to the country’s love of the dish as does the existence of many “hash houses” named after the dish.
Are there any decent canned hashes? Being lazy, I eat the stuff, but I would really like something that looks like the picture. Most dissolve into mush once all the fat in the can melts.
Know what you mean. for me, it’s a gourmet dish. I start with a good brand of Argentine corned beef in the wind up can that sells for $6-7. That’s the main ingredient. A can will make more than one batch. The rest is diced potatoes and some onions. Slow simmer in a seasoned covered black cast iron skillet. Already salty but I like a bit of black pepper. No comparison to dumping stuff out of a can and almost as fast.
Think I’ll make some, I always keep some on hand, good corned beef is Essential in the preparedness pantry. Infinitely expandable with rice, shareable comfort food, and you never get tired of it there are so many ways to fix it
Growing up in a very modest income working class family in the ‘50s, my mother served corned beef hash (from a can) at least once every couple of weeks for dinner. It was generally accompanied by green beans (from a can) and apple sauce (from a jar). I learned to like the hash with ketchup. I think it was Armour brand, not Hormel.
As I grew up, our mom learned more cooking skills and our father brought home a more income. So our meals got a bit nicer and eventually the corned beef hash disappeared from our kitchen. My wife’s visceral reaction to my once suggesting she make some for us caused me to never repeat that request again. ?
We used to have fried spam for a special treat at lunch and also the occasional creamed chipped beef on toast. Both childhood favorites of mine!
Yes!!! Exact same in my childhood family!
Also occasionally mom would serve us kids “deviled ham” or “potted meat” spread on saltine crackers along with a bowl of Campbells tomato or chicken noodle soup!
And a glass of milk of course.
??
I loved taking a can of deviled ham and saltines to school for lunch. Haven’t had that in a long time. ?
Spam n eggs, 🙂
Memories are long and permanent in mothers. Thank goodness for it, because we live off them in out elder years…the good and even the ones that aren’t as good. They are all part of a tapestry.
?. So true, Betsy.
Creamed chipped beef (white gravy) on toast?
Oh Yes – see Lindak’s post just above and my reply
Quite satisfying.
never the dreaded tuna casserole made with cream of mushroom soup and topped with crumbled lays chips? i gag at the memory….
I don’t know if she put cream of mushroom soup in it but my mother did make tuna-noodle casserole many times. And we kids all gobbled it up.
Now I happen to have always liked cream of mushroom soup a lot, so no bad memories here…?
Go to the 49:30 minute marker in this video to catch the very start of an awesome song called “Kingdom of Light” … If the craziness of the world is getting to you, you’ll want to take a listen to this! You’ll want to blast the volume all the way up! Sing! Dance! Drum along with the drummers! Wake the neighbors! 🙂
The song lasts about 11 minutes, from 49:30 until the 1 hour mark. It includes the best drum solos I’ve ever heard, and the lyrics are inspiring! It’s a South African song that very much applies to the United States today!
I see a better tomorrow
Peace for the nations
A bright future for you and I
Together we stand with power
We can and we will make a change!
I see a people united
with everything in us
We cry out “God bless our land!”
Hand in hand
Nothing can stop us
We can and we will make a change!
May the blessing of Yeshua rest on us
United as a nation hear our cry
And pray shape our future with your light
Come come kingdom of light
Come come kingdom of love!
Kim Clements made some very amazingly detailed predictions…. that came to be true years after he passed.
NATIONAL CHOCOLATE MILK DAY
Each year on September 27th folks enjoy a tall, frosty glass to celebrate National Chocolate Milk Day.
In the late 1680s, an Irish-born physician by the name of Sir Hans Sloane invented the chocolatey beverage. When offered the position of personal physician to an English Duke in Jamaica, Sloane jumped at the opportunity. Jamaica interested the naturalist in him.
While in Jamaica, Sloane encountered a local beverage. The locals mixed cocoa and water together. However, when Sloane tasted it, he reported the flavor to be nauseating. After some experimentation, the doctor found a way to combine cocoa with milk. The creamy combination made it a more pleasant-tasting drink. Years later, Sloane returned to England with the chocolate recipe in hand. Initially, apothecaries introduced the concoction as a medicine.
There is always a minimum of 1/2 gallon of WHOLE Chocolate Milk in our fridge. The only time we use white milk these days it for cooking or cereal.
A note on Nestle’s Chocolate and Strawberry milks. I haul refer loads of that stuff sometimes and a plant where they make it is just across the street from my home terminal. Nestle’s processes their milk in a manner beyond just pasteurization to increase it’s shelf life and make it last longer before spoiling even if not refrigerated. I have delivered their milk to Distribution Centers of vendors that have no refrigeration capability before.
Everyday is Chocolate Milk day for me. I prefer to mix my own using Hershey’s Syrup.
Chocolate milk contains electrolytes and protein and is better for your young athletes than Gatorade or other flavored drinks. My son was a competitive swimmer and had many long workouts . We always supplemented his meal time with chocolate milk. Good to drink during competition days too.
Something cute and funny.
One of the saddest things for us to witness are all the good people leaving essential jobs like nursing because they are forced to take vaccines they legitimately don’t want to take. There are many Americans who, on the advice of their doctors—and for entirely legitimate medical reasons—should not risk their health by submitting to getting a vaccine that may well do them harm.
If you have a legitimate medical reason for not getting an exam (sorry, religious beliefs don’t apply–although they should), here’s what you can do.
The American With Disabilities Act has a provision called a “Reasonable AccommodatioN”. It is specifically designed to allow people with disabilities to have “equal access” to employment. If you have a medical condition that is in conflict with a vaccine mandate, then you automatically qualified as a “disabled person” under the ADA. Basically this means that you can make a formal request to have a “reasonable accommodation” which will permit you to keep working without getting a vaccine. The way the ADA is written, the law is on your side. Just make the request and then sit back and watch what happens.
That is so kind of you to care and take the time to post that for anyone who might benefit from what you shared.
I think the woman (forgot her name) who was the Ethics professor at a Canadian University said it best when she said something to the effect of: Why should I be forced to put my health at risk (re: vaccines) in order to reduce your risk (re: contracting covid)?
When she said that it really hit me. It was a perfect, succinct summary of the situation.
Even sadder, we seem to be on a path that will make the vaccinated who are sick a greater danger to those around them than the unvaccinated who are sick.
We already have reports of some vaccinated carrying and spreading a greater viral load than the vaccinated.
Of course there are ‘trust the science’ denials to real science, but like every ‘trust the science’ denial before this, they will silently switch, all while claiming the real scientists were and still are wrong.
Interesting you said this. I had just that kind of discussion with a guy who demanded that I wear a mask (I’ve had both shots-my choice) to protect him because he has an auto-immune problem. He was attempting to make me responsible for his problem. If he’s that vulnerable he should stay home.
Although the vaccinated may shed virus, I do not think that this is a permanent condition, nor do I think it is as virulent as the actual disease. Maybe there is someone who knows for sure? But I believe as the efficacy of the vaccine wanes, so does the amount of virus shedding, wane.
In any case, I recently learned that those vaccinated for measles can shed the measle virus to the unvaxxed. I had the actual disease so natural immunity does not shed virus to anyone.
That is a very interesting story and exactly the kind of example that highlights the issue of where one person’s responsibilities and risks begin and where they end. I’ve told my family that, among other things, for those who are at increased risk, they need to determine the best course of action to take, whether to get vaccinated and/or wear and N95 in certain situations and/or to limit their exposure to others. But we cannot, as a society (she said with no power at all to say “cannot” and while watching society do the very thing I claim we “cannot” do) shut down the lives of health people who are not at high risk in order to protect every one to some “nth” degree that doesn’t even exist.
I also think, and I don’t mean to sound callous because I don’t say this in an off hand or glib way, but eventually we are all going to die and we’re going to die from something. At this point in time, it probably makes sense to add covid19 to that list.
Evangeline is her name.
I’m waiting on an update from her.
I should add that if you decide to make a reasonable accommodation, have your doctor write a cover letter describing your condition and why, in his medical opinion, it is improper for you to be be vaccinated. It’s also worth noting again that ADA law is written so that the law is on your side and not on the organization. The organization can’t, for instance, demand “prior verification” which means it comes up with impossible demands to invalidate your request for an accommodation.
You are in charge of your disability and not the company or hospital. So, when you furnish a statement from your physician that makes your reasonable accommodation request legitimate.
I mention this because the vaccine mandates have turned hundreds of thousands of people with medical conditions or pregnancies into disabled people as defined by federal law. And finally, since we talking about federal law, If you decide to make a accommodation request you are automatically protected against retaliation.
Purity and beauty.
Just. Beautiful.
(and I’m not even a *huge* Opera fan!)
Thanks!
I’ve ALWAYS loved her voice. I have a recording of Richard Strauss’s FOUR LAST SONGS, in which she delivers the most ethereal performance. So many have sung this magnificent work, so moving.
I always grieve when we lose a voice. Ones that come to mind at the moment include hers, the bass baritone Dimitri Horostovsky (which broke my heart into a million pieces), Fritz Wunderlich, the German tenor who died falling down the stairs right before his Met debut, Joan Sutherland…and others. And recently the phenomenal Jessye Norman, whose performance the The Four Last Songs is my favorite. Thank you for posting this, Sarah.
And for those interested in this genre, a little bit of trivia… If anyone is has watched “Lewis”, the sublime British detective series on PBS (which I can highly recommend), the gentleman who plays the eponymous detective, Kevin Whately (he with the Geordie accent) has a daughter Kitty Whately, with the most beautiful soprano voice. She won the Kathleen Ferrier Prize when she was studying voice at the Royal Academy. She doesn’t have much on YouTube, but enough to understand why she won.
Aaahhh, Betsy, my heart is soaring to read that you love classically trained voices, as well! If you wander back over to this thread and see this, here’s a little gem for you if you’ve never heard it (or even if you have). I am tempted to list other amazing voices and pieces, but it will be too long. But I will post a few more gems over the coming days should you visit this Open Tread and look out for some from you, as well, should you be so inclined!
You have the knack of finding and posting such beauties. Tech has passed me by on my little Kindle.
So if you would look up and post the following I think you’d fill your soul with the beauty of these incomparable English voices.
The group is VOCES8… The pieces they sing are William Byrd motets “Ne Irascaris Domine” and “Civitis Sancti
Tui”
I have never heard such a oneness in so many voices, none drowning bout the others. My gift to you, Sarah.
William Byrd was a genius who showered this world with so many gifts. I just looked up and listened to what you recommended. Absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for sharing that, Betsy. I look forward to listening to many more performances by this amazing ensemble.
Kathleen Ferrier died with breast cancer if I remember
correctly at the age of 39. A tragedy. All of Britain mourned. Her contralto voice was just right for so many British composers, as was Janet Baker’s, also a contralto. I so appreciate your posting this.
Also a winner of the award in her name was Sir Bryn Terfel (nee Jones) who shortly after winning it, won Cardiff Singer of the World’s Lieder Prize. The winner of the competition that year was Dimitri Horostovsky, whom I mentioned above. It was such a close run thing, with Bryn a local favorite to win. In the end both went on to global acclaim. I watched the whole competition on the BBC. One of THE most thrilling evenings I have ever spent.
Janet Baker recorded Elgar’s Sea Songs. She had the perfect voice for them. A mesmeric performance.
Just looked this up and listened. I’d never heard her voice before. Oh my goodness. So warm and resonant. Just so so so so beautiful. Thank you, Betsy! This has been awesome!!!!
I enjoy sharing beautiful music. Of course, not everyone’s tastes are the identical, but everyone appreciates, I think, beauty of performance.
I’ll leave you with one more I posted for Sepp the other day. I think you’ll enjoy it.
Sir Bryn Terfel and Simon Keenleyside, both bass baritones, but with completely different sounds.
AVE VERUM, by the Welsh composer Sir Karl Jenkins.
what is this pbs of which you speak? akin to NPR?
On television. The Public Broadcasting System. The one in my area is KERA out of Dallas.
Here’s an audiocast of this week’s Sunday service from the little church where I’m organist. The sermon was chosen for the Epistle reading, James 5:1-20. Beginning at 26:10 on the recording, the sermon is about prayer, especially the Lord’s prayer.
https://stjames-lcms.org/2021/09/26/the-lords-prayer/
If you have a few minutes to listen, I’ll suggest a part of the service that I particularly liked — seven minutes at the end, from 1:03:00 to 1:10:20. It begins with the last few verses of the communion hymn (Just as I am). This is followed by song of Simeon (Luke 2:25-32), which we sing every week after communion:
Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace,
according to Thy word,
For mine eyes have seen Thy salvation,
which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people,
A light to lighten the Gentiles and the glory of Thy people Israel.
This in turn is followed by the closing hymn for the day, To God the Holy Spirit Let us pray. The last stanza, my favorite, is
Shine in our hearts, O Spirit, precious light;
Teach us Jesus Christ to know aright
That we may abide in the Lord who bought us,
Till to our true home he has brought us.
Lord have mercy.
If you didn’t make it to church this week, you might find the whole service comforting. If you scroll down from the control bar, you’ll see words for all the hymns and readings.
Incidentally, if you are a son or daughter of Wales, you might like the hymn at 51:38.

THE “GO” OF RENUNCIATION
“Lord, I will follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest.” Luke ix. 57
Our Lord’s attitude to this man is one of severe discouragement because He knew what was in man. We would have said – “Fancy losing the opportunity of winning that man!” Fancy bringing about him a north wind that froze him and “turned him away discouraged!” Never apologize for your Lord. The words of the Lord hurt and offend until there is nothing left to hurt or offend. Jesus Christ has no tenderness whatever toward anything that is ultimately going to ruin a man in the service of our God. Our Lord’s answers are based not on caprice, but on a knowledge of what is in man. If the Spirit of God brings to your mind a word of the Lord that hurts you, you may be sure that there is something He want to hurt to death.
v. 58. These words knock the heart out of serving Jesus Christ because it is pleasing to me. The rigour of rejection leaves nothing but my Lord, and myself, and a forlorn hope. “Let the hundredfold come or go, your lodestar must be your relationship to Me, and I have nowhere to lay My head.”
v. 59. This man did not want to disappoint Jesus, nor to hurt his father. We put sensitive loyalty to relatives in place of loyalty to Jesus Christ and Jesus has to take the last place. In a conflict of loyalty, obey Jesus Christ at all costs.
v. 61. The one who says – “Yes, Lord, but…” is the one who is fiercely ready, but never goes. This man had one or two reservations. The exacting call of Jesus Christ has no margin of good-byes, because good-bye, as it is often used, is pagan, not Christian. When once the call of God comes, begin to go and never stop going.

Hurricane Sam now heading off into the Atlantic. NHC warning track started shifting gradually East yesterday and continued to do so. Where before the track had the hurricane passing to the west of Bermuda it is now so far East that Bermuda could be out of the path of the warning cone soon.
Since Pfizer was given a get out of jail free card from the US government, absolving them of any legal liability associated with their “vaccine” or it’s effects, they don’t have to honest here. But when they sell overseas it is a different matter altogether and they have to cover their legal butts. Here is the contract with the country of Albania for the sale of the Pfizer vaccine.

may be adverse effects of the Vaccine that are not currently known.”

Concerning the so called Truckers shutdown.
The company I drive for is not shutting down and neither am I. However on Friday Josh called me and told me that all the loads were covered through Monday with only a few short ones uncovered on Tuesday that he thought would get covered. So the only way I would be called would be in the event of a call off by a regular driver or something unusual like a truck or trailer recovery.
Not a single one of the 9 on call drivers are on the road now as far as I know. Any of you that have been reading my Truckers Reports know that this is highly unusual. The exact opposite of the way it has been since I came back to work from my illness late March this year.
Believe me, the break is welcome!
Thanks for the report Rah, and enjoy your time off.
Thanks,
I talked to Josh a bit ago. There is only one of us out due to a call off. That means I am on the bubble if there is another or if they don’t get those little local runs covered for Tuesday morning.
As you are in a position to know, rah, as things escalate, please keep us informed on any and all developments in your profession. You can be our “inside man ” as it were. Always enjoy your posts.

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.

“They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and worthless for any good deed.” -Titus 1:16 (NASB)
Translation: “The arrogant claim to be God’s people and to superior holiness, while all the while they were denying God by their evil deeds, and bringing dishonor upon his Name.”
Creator God ushered in a new covenant with Jesus Christ. When Christianity came to Greece, they made it a philosophy. When it came to Rome, they made it into an organization. When it spread throughout Europe, a new culture was established. But sadly, when Christianity came to America they turned it into a business! (see John 2:12-17).”
Video:
As gauche as American Christianity can be, there is no comparison to the wealthy business of pre modern era European Christianity. I see claims that the Church had ~1/4th of England’s land when Henry the Eighth took it away. And claims that it owned 6-10% of French land before the revolution. Big business.
And the Roman Catholic Spanish Habsburg Church owned about half the land in Mexico, and held an enormous amount of debt.
Under a different French dynasty in the early 1800s, those debt was called in — caused a lot of misery in Mexico
Your post made me immediately think of the govnor of NY.
So much for time off. The boneheads in Paragould had an unservicable trailer loaded with TENNECO product and hauled it up here to Anderson. There a regular driver was to take it the AutoZone DC in Kuntztown, PA. Well since the trailer has to be put out of service and the product transloaded to another trailer the regular driver will not have enough hours to deliver to Kuntztown once that is completed and so they called me.
The problem with this load is when one delivers in the late night or early morning hours there is no parking within range with the hours remining.

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.
