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 †

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 CHEWING GUM DAY
National Chewing Gum Day exercises our jaws on September 30th. Pop a bubble or freshen your breath with your favorite piece of chewing gum.
Various forms of chewing gum have existed since the Neolithic period. In 2007, a British archaeology student discovered a 5,000-year-old piece of chewing gum made from bark tar with tooth imprints in it. Presumed to be the oldest piece of chewing gum, the discovery took place in Kierikki, Yli-li, Finland. Made from bark tar, scientists believed the gum to have antiseptic properties and other medicinal advantages.
Wasn’t a huge fan of this song when it was around, but it’s pretty uplifting seeing /hearing it now.
Really liked the Edwin Hawkins Singers, so don’t know why I never knew they were the backup here!
song starts 1 min. in:
It’s pretty funny/disorienting watching 9 out of 10 in this Dutch audience not being able to catch the beat!
Kind of nerve-wracking, actually!
Thank You SO much for sharing this beautiful song and time, the 60’s, so much hope for change then, fast forward, and today we are on the cusp! PRAY!
NATIONAL HOT MULLED CIDER DAY
On September 30th, National Hot Mulled Cider Day warms our homes with the scent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and apple.
Backyard Hot Wheels mega track; a fun diversion:
Wait a minute! Hot Wheels don’t roll on tracks under water!!!
The author of this video admitted that a long push pole was used in much of the video, and a real hot wheels car was not used.
Gotta’ love Pat Metheny . . .
I do.
Beneath Missouri Skies: Pat Metheny in Kansas City 1964-1972

The complete playlist for the album Beyond the Missouri Sky by Charlie Haden & Pat Matheny:
I did not realize Charlie Haden had passed away in 2014.
I could not believe the effect “Spiritual” had on me when I first heard it and it continues to this day.
happy Cursday, Treepers!
THE COMMISSION OF THE CALL
“Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for His body’s sake.” Col. i. 24
We make calls out of our own spiritual consecration, but when we get right with God He brushes all these aside, and rivets us with a pain that is terrific to one thing we never dreamed of, and for one radiant flashing moment we see what He is after, and we say – “Here am I, send me.”
This call has nothing to do with personal sanctification, but with being made broken bread and poured-out wine. God can never make us wine if we object to the fingers He uses to crush us with. If God would only use His own fingers, and make me broken bread and poured-out wine in a special way! But when He uses someone whom we dislike, or some set of circumstances to which we said we would never submit, and makes those the crushers, we object. We must never choose the scene of our martyrdom. If ever we are going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed; you cannot drink grapes. Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed.
I wonder what kind of finger and thumb God has been using to squeeze you, and you have been like a marble and escaped? You are not ripe yet, and if God HAD squeezed you, the wine would have been remarkably bitter. To be a sacramental personality means that the elements of the natural life are presenced by God as they are broken providentially in His service. We have to be adjusted into God before we can be broken bread in His hands. Keep right with God and let Him do what He likes, and you will find that He is producing the kind of bread and wine that will benefit His other children.
Oswald Chambers
September 30th Devotional
salvation is an impossible process. Only God can achieve it in us.
It’s why the worlds ways are so futile and why it says “god laughs at us” in psalms 2 for trying without him.
Understanding that means everything.
Something else, every person has a place in the body. Imagine if we all were working under God’s manual. Limitless!

John 14:16 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
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.
Mornin’ infidels.
Mornin’ WeeWeed. That is purr-fect!
Spot on wee weed and disgusting. What use is our government anymore? This mess we all walk around is putrid and stinks so bad I believe it reaches heaven. Abortion, human trafficking, wars for money, every disgusting thing emits from our government.
This mess has to be cleaned up.
Can we all agree on one thing, morals do matter in any leader.

Blast from the past….
East meets West
Bob Hope and Roy Rogers
+ Jane Russell
The U.S. Government in cooperation with the CCP, jointly developed a bioweapon at the Wuhan Lab. The design of the weapon was such that when released, it would mutate rapidly and result in a high mortality rate amongst the aged. This will alleviate the burden of the aged resulting from China’s one child policy. The same result is happening in America, and it will reduce the future Social Security obligations. The Fed and the CCP did this by design. Prove me wrong!
I totally 100000000000% agree with you +++. They want and will kill the elderly and reduce their obligations to our seniors. It is the most disgusting and EVIL act I have seen in my lifetime. And I have seen a lot of evil.

Went to a small Texas club to hear Wynonna Judd; great show. She is the real deal country royalty. What a voice. Powerful on stage presence. Just her, her husband “Cactus” and a bass guitar.
2 hour set of oldies and new covers……………….the crowd loved her and she showed the love back in spades.
she ended the show with the “Pledge of Allegiance”……….Wow. The crowd all stood and recited with her. A.great night out.
I bought these tickets pre COVID and the tickets were still honored. This was my first big public event since COVID. A small club; nobody wearing masks. It was good times again in Texas !
That was great! Thank you for sharing! FABULOUS!
Hilarious! Get your laugh of the day.

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.

CTH, have you seen this analysis on patents related to COVID. The anecdotal events I’ve seen align well with this story. Worth a listen and consideration.

Will the prayer request page be fixed in order to post requests and/or reply to other’s prayer requests? I don’t comment often, simply click the “like” so people know prayers are being added, but would like to be able to reply when so moved to. thank you.
This is for Sundance and Ad Rem and staff. I was just at CFP and reading some of Kane’s story, I came across this comment, from some idiot, who denigrated Sundance and decided to lie, and smear him. FYI, I chewed him a new one, and set him straight.
“In fact most at TCT will shut anyone down if they have positivity. The site has turned vicious lately.”
That alone was worth a laugh, but he got a butt chewing anyway. You can call it what you want, but doom and gloom isnt exactly how you guys roll, however, the outlook is bleak, barring some sort of action by the good guys, if there are any left. He suggested that you guys ban anyone who doesn’t tow some sort of fictional line in that fools head….
I dont see doom and gloom here. I see truth, and facts. I guess he doesnt like the reality of the situation.
I defended you all, and asked him to show me 1 instance of you censoring anyone who is positive. On top of showing me, just 1 f’in time, that Sundance was wrong….
Im still waiting. :0
