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 †

The Lark Ascending
Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra
One of the truly evocative pieces in English music, and such a favourite for me. I can actually see the little bird soaring and dropping and soaring again. This is a tremendously uplifting piece and I am so glad you posted it. Beautiful.
I love this song as well. It is very evocative. I can always picture a lark ascending whenever I hear it. Beautiful!
I first heard it in Wales whilst I was in our rural garden. There are no words to express the feeling that overcame me in that setting. The beautiful Welsh valley and that oh so appropriate music in concert. A memory I draw on often.
An old favorite. Thanks, Sarah. 🙂
Heard this at a concert in ’68 or so. I still have the album. This is magic . . .
Oh my. I forgot about this song, but as soon as the first note played, there it was. Oh my goodness, so beautiful. She sang such melancholy songs.
and
~sigh
Oh my gosh, just when I think I’ve heard the song I remember the best, that resonated the most, you go and post these two and well, you said it best: “sigh.” Thank you for sharing these gems. Listening to them shifted my spirit, even if just for a few minutes…
Who Knows Where the Time Goes.
One of the 1st albums I bought as a kid.
Beautiful.
She’s still performing! And her voice sounds amazing. Really stunned by the quality of the sound at her age. Wow. (As much as I love Irish dancing, I can’t say the little dancer enhanced anything, but ok…)
The BEST
Oh, wow. That takes me back. Waaaaaaay back. I loved Judy Collins and think I owned every album she put out. The first song you posted was probably one of my favorite songs of hers, if not my absolute favorite. Listening to it again reminds me why I loved it so much. What a gift that you posted these!!!
“Who Knows Where The Time Goes” Was written by Sandy Denny (Fairport Convention back in the day). Reportedly she wrote the song when she was 18. There’s a demo tape recording of her accompanying herself on a 12 string guitar on Youtube. She very good. She was often accompanied by Richard Thompson, another great guitar player. That said, Steve Stills playing on Judy’s cover version adds much to her performance.
As 2021 continues, “Send In The Clowns” reflects the public presentation of the installed president.
“Threatened by shadows at night…
… exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.”
29 September 1959
Following a bit of a dry spell after their #4 hit “Tears On My Pillow” a year earlier, Little Anthony And The Imperials record “Shimmy Shimmy Koko Bop”, which will reach #24 in the US early next year.
29 September 1973
Grand Funk scored their first number one record when “We’re An American Band” hit the top of Billboard’s Hot 100. The song was sung by drummer Don Brewer rather than Mark Farner, who usually took lead vocals.
29 September 1990
Rick Nelson‘s sons Gunnar and Matthew have a number one hit on Billboard’s Hot 100 with “Love and Affection”, becoming the third generation of Nelsons to accomplish that feat. Their Grandfather, Ozzie Nelson, led his orchestra to the top of the chart in 1932 with “And Then Some” and Rick topped all others in 1958 with “Poor Little Fool” and in 1961 with “Travelin’ Man”.
I made three references in a thread to this yesterday but didn’t post it. A real fave among musicians of the period.
“One of the grooviest tracks ever” – Bernard “Pretty” Purdie, legendary session drummer
Recollections of the “Rock Steady” musicians:
– Chuck Rainey (bass) recollects: “Most people don’t know that “Rock Steady” is a demo recording. We recorded it before Jerry Wexler [Aretha’s producer] and Tommy Dowd [engineer] arrived. That morning, their limo picked them up late and ours picked us up early. Aretha sat down at the piano and taught all of us the song and Gene Paul [Les Paul’s son] recorded it for us as a demo to work on later. There were no overdubs. When the top brass finally arrived, they charted out the song and arranged it. We worked all morning trying to do the song their way, but we could not duplicate what we had done early that morning on our own. If you listen closely, you can tell it’s a demo.”
– Bernard Purdie (drums) recollects: “The famous drum break was an accident. We were playing, everything was good, and next thing you knew Aretha’s music came flying off the piano. Somebody had to come and pick it up, but while this was happening, she’s singing: ‘Rock… steady… rock… steady.” And I did a drum break. It just came to me.
“We had that song down. The key to it was Chuck Rainey’s bassline, which was very fat. That’s the kind of bass that lets me keep the beat but turn things around. I followed Chuck, but he followed me, too. The funny thing is, I’m on top of the beat, not behind. I was anticipating Chuck.
“It’s one of the grooviest tracks ever, and it’s constant. When I played it, I didn’t think I was doing anything special, but when I heard it back, I liked it. It’s funky. The tempo is there, the energy… Once you get a grip on that, you can’t lose.”
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.””
NATIONAL COFFEE DAY – 29 SEPTEMBER
While Brazil produces more coffee in the world than any other country, Colombia closely follows. Also, more than 50 countries around the world grow coffee, too. As a result, we choose from a bountiful selection of flavors for the indulgence of steamy cups of the black drink for connoisseurs to consume.
NATIONAL VFW DAY
On September 29th, National VFW Day honors the men and women devoted to this valuable organization and those members who have served our nation.
Members of the organization named Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) today hold a long-standing history of volunteerism in their communities. Not only have they served their country, but they continue to serve their fellow veterans, families, and communities by sponsoring scholarships, career fairs, mental wellness campaigns, and so many more excellent services.
The VFW was established on September 29, 1899, by a group of veterans from the Spanish-American War and the Philippine Insurrection. It has since grown to be the nation’s largest group of combat veterans. They continue “to honor the dead by helping the living.” The VFW promotes patriotism, goodwill, and youth scholarships. They also provide military assistance and community service programs, promote youth activities and volunteer many hours in their local communities.
One song from “Country Rhythm and Blues” album, which is a fantastic collection of songs and artists. They paired up artists with one from country music and one from blues for all the songs. The arrangements and voices and talent together are just amazing. There’s not a single song on the album that I ever want to skip over. And I’m not particularly into country music or blues, but this production is so exceptional.
One more!
She’s her father’s daughter all right.

Love BB and George. What a great combo.
A two-hit-wonder group’s song #2.
Live, in concert… of course for added riffs & jams.

The intention is to drive us all bat shit crazy, living in an asylum nation with no home left to return to.
Hebrews 11:8 and 11:10
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place…
For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
Dear Heavenly Father..the enemy holds Your people by the throat.
The evil beast system is even now deciding who will live and who will die. The beast uses fear
as a weapon upon us Your children and would have us turn from the promise of Your saving grace.
They would have us believe the age old lie.
Heavenly Father give us the discernment and courage to continue in Faith as the enemy
seeks out and destroys those that are not grounded in Your Holy Word. It’s in Jesus name
I humbly pray.
Amen ?
I remember my mother telling me when I was a child that hell was the absence of God. I was too young to understand it. But of course as adults we know that is exactly what it is. A place I do not want to experience, but that we are seeing all too clearly. Amen, Clay.
AMEN AND AMEN.
THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE CALL
“For necessity is laid upon me: yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel. 1 Cor. ix. 16
We are apt to forget the mystical, supernatural touch of God. If you can tell where you got the call of God and all about it, I question whether you have ever had a call. The call of God does not come like that, it is much more supernatural. The realization of it in a man’s life may come with a sudden thunder-clap or with a gradual dawning, but in whatever way it comes, it comes with the undercurrent of the supernatural, something that cannot be put into words, it is always accompanied with a glow. At any moment there may break the sudden consciousness of this incalculable, supernatural, surprising call that has taken hold of your life – “I have chosen you.” The call of God has nothing to do with salvation and sanctification. It is not because you are sanctified that you are therefore called to preach the gospel; the call to preach the gospel is infinitely different. Paul describes it as a necessity laid upon him.
If you have been obliterating the great supernatural call of God in your life, take a review of your circumstances and see where God has not been first, but your ideas of service, or your temperamental abilities. Paul said – “Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” He had realized the call of God, and there was no competitor for his strength.
If a man or woman is called of God, it does not matter how untoward circumstances are, every force that has been at work will tell for God’s purpose in the end. If you agree with God’s purpose He will bring not only your conscious life, but all the deeper regions of your life which you cannot get at, into harmony.

The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
Prayer of Saint Ioannikios the Great of Bithynia (+ 846)
My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection the Holy Spirit. O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.
From the Book of the Holy Prophet Obadias:
“4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence shall I bring thee down, saith the Lord.”
From the 50th Psalm (Septuagint):
“A sacrifice unto God is a contrite spirit; a contrite and humbled heart God will not put to shame.”
From Saint Silouan the Athonite (+ 1938)
“We suffer because we have no humility and we do not love our brother. From love of our brother comes the love of God. People do not learn humility, and because of their pride cannot receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, and therefore the whole world suffers.”

I tell this to my children. I’ve comforted strangers with this. Love doesn’t die.
After nearly a month of being so sick with wuflu that my hair is falling out from sustained high fever, I’m pretty sensitive to my mortality.
Stock up on therapeutics!!! We didn’t storm which is why we are still here. Hcq and ivermectin (yeah. We took horse stuff but my heart, my bio engineer husband was scared bc he didn’t know if the carrier gel was safe, official people stuff would have been better).
When you’re sick, it’s too late. Prepare. Initially we felt ok, then it hit. It has a timeline of symptoms. Inform yourself. The genocide of Americans continues. Jabbing healthcare and military to create a vulnerable population is clearly one step of many. (Dr. Malone and Belgium Dr on Rumble was/is Hubs obsession right now).
If I Was A Liberal.
Was or is an old-fashioned chest ointment rub of any help?
(I have heard people say it did give relief for them.)
We don’t really have chest problem. That’s part of the Storm, I think. Although! I couldn’t find mustard seed this summer for pickles bc Indians were using it for their chests.
Our deadly symptoms were lack of appetite/vomiting/horrid smell/foul mouth taste. We grew progressively more weak until daughter and Hubs realized it was degrading our bodies. I didn’t eat (drank water) more than a few bites for 4+ days at least bc of fever/nausea. I was just sleeping. Hubs was not as sick and he read something that clicked where he realized that we were heading downward.
Daughter wasn’t ever sick and she bought ensure (yuck!) And began making smoothies. After a few days, he was up and pushing food at me. We were sick from 8/13-9/16.
I was almost blind. I felt like I was looking through a very dirty window. I actually couldn’t see what they were giving me to eat.
😉 😉 Daughter says I was grumpy patient. But I don’t remember much.
My first comment on the prayer thread and possibly my last but here goes:
I pray that all the good people here on CTH and their loved ones get their Vit D3 levels to at least at 50. It is such a simple thing to test, and to do, and it may keep you and yours away from harm.

Here is the original article posted September 25, 2021:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.09.22.21263977v1
FTA “Conclusions The two datasets provide strong evidence that low D3 is a predictor rather than a side effect of the infection. Despite ongoing vaccinations, we recommend raising serum 25(OH)D levels to above 50 ng/ml to prevent or mitigate new outbreaks due to escape mutations or decreasing antibody activity.”
Without getting a test, what dosage would get you to that level–I take one 2500mg D3 pill each morning. Is this going to do anything for me>
I took 2-4,000 a day to get mine fr/ under 30 to 50 w/in a month.
It’s best to get a blood test tho and know what level you’re starting at.
And I’m not a Doctor- altho that doesn’t mean much these days, unfortunately.

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.

The story of the chosen Apostles and the first followers of the way of Jesus.
When we read in the book of Acts we follow along and witness the way the first followers of the way taught the people. In paying close attention to the words they used and the way they bore their testimony, we see that they used the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS to show PROOF and TO BEAR WITNESS that the MESSIAH HAD COME AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD.

POWELL COUNTERATTACK –
https://diannemarshallreport.com/powell-counter-attack/
Sidney Powell is pushing back in a big way. She has sued Dominion right back.
Every single day we see examples of Big Tech, or some other “big”, censoring, harassing and intimidating regular American citizens for writing or saying something that the elite left does not approve.
There are many, many stories of this, but what stands out and comes to the forefront reaking of vile lawlessness, is what an American corporation has done to Sidney Powell and to others.
They used the legal system as a weapon to avoid being shown to have lied and cheated in the 2020 election, and likely many past elections. It is breathtaking the lengths taken to keep Sidney quiet.
Now, Sidney Powell has sued Dominion right back. Read about the Dominion counterclaim and see links to the filing here:

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.

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.
