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 †

Great job Pat!
4 October 1966
Bobby Hebb received a Gold record for his US #2 hit, “Sunny”. It reached #12 on the UK chart. Hebb wrote the song after November 22, 1963, the day US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and Hebb’s older brother Harold was killed in a knife fight outside a Nashville nightclub. Hebb would later say “All my intentions were just to think of happier times, basically looking for a brighter day.”
4 October 1969
Creedence Clearwater Revival started a four week run at the top of the US album chart with “Green River”, the group’s first number one LP. The album contained two of the band’s biggest hits, “Bad Moon Rising” and the title track, and in 2003, was ranked number 95 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
4 October 1980
Queen had their second US number 1 song when “Another One Bites the Dust” hit the top of the Billboard chart. Earlier in the year, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” also went to the top of the hit parade.
NATIONAL VODKA DAY – 4 OCTOBER
NATIONAL TACO DAY
Get one, two or three on National Taco Day. On October 4th, the day recognizes the savory tortilla stuffed with fillings.
The history of tacos predates the arrival of Europeans in Mexico. Anthropological evidence shows the native people living in the lake region of the Valley of Mexico traditionally ate tacos filled with small fish. At the time of the Spanish conquistadors, Bernal Diaz del Castillo, documented the first taco feast enjoyed by Europeans. Hernan Cortes arranged this meal for his captains in Coyoacan. It is unclear why the Spanish used the word taco to describe this native food. One suggested origin is the word ataco, meaning stuff or to stuff.
In 1964, Roberto L. Gomez established The National Taco Council. The council sent a 55-pound taco to President Johnson in 1967.
Here’s an audiocast of this week’s service at the little church where I’m organist. The sermon is based on Mark 10:2-16. If you haven’t gotten to church this week, you might find this a nice way to start your week. If you scroll down from the playback controls, you’ll see text of all the readings and hymns.
https://stjames-lcms.org/2021/10/03/the-necessity-of-faith/
From the sermon notes:
“So Jesus reminds us to have childlike faith. To keep it simple and pure. Know that He died for our sins. Know that He rose from the dead. Know that He redeemed us with his own blood and righteousness.”
My favorite part this week: the beginning of the Communion service, starting at 47:00 and running about six minutes. I love the singing in this part. It starts with this praise, connecting us through the centuries with our ancestors in the faith.
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth;
heaven and earth are full of thy glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord
Hosanna in the highest.
I hope you have a wonderful week. Praise the Lord!
NATIONAL CINNAMON BUN DAY
National Cinnamon Bun Day on October 4th sweetens us up with a Scandinavian pastry.
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.””
” Now I’m calling on citizens from all over the world ..
This is Captain America calling ……
I bailed you out when you were down on your knees..
So will you catch me now I’m falling….
the kinks
Great choice Annie.Thanx!Captain America could use a helping hand ’bout now.
I was the one who always bailed you out
in your depression and difficulties,
I never thought you would let me down
but the next time your in trouble
better not come runnin’ to me.
What’s up with that?
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Amen ?
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.
The 50th Psalm (Septuagint)
Psalm 51 (KJV – Masoretic)
“Our heart is like the darkened earth; the Gospel is like the sun, enlightening and giving life to our hearts. May the true sun of Thy righteousness shine in our hearts, O Lord!”
From page 240 of “My Life in Christ” by Saint John of Kronstadt (+ 1908).
Blast from the past…
This week in 1871 the deadliest fires in US history peaked and I bet almost none of you here know about that and the majority will be surprised by where the the worst one was.
“A Trifling Investment Of Fact”Posted on October 4, 2021 by tonyheller
“A Trifling Investment Of Fact” | Real Climate Science
“There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture from such a trifling investment of fact.”
-Mark Twain, Life on the Mississippi (1883)
The scientific community has brought this problem upon themselves by not following their own rules and procedures. Scientists have ‘cried wolf’ too many times,
https://jer-skepticscorner.blogspot.com/2009/05/trifling-investment-of-fact.html
The term “scientist” has now come to mean “fabulist” for me…entirely of their own making.
The problem is primarily “climate scientists” and the “soft” sciences such as sociology. People like Mann, Dressler, Hayho, and the plethora of others have jumped on the gravy train and drive it. Also many of those at NOAA and NASA GISS that work under Gavin. They have all given “science” a bad name. And the fact is that those working in any even remotely related fields have to put in statements about “climate change” in their papers to continue to get funding for their work. Climate Science “Peer Review” is worse than worthless because it has become a gateway by which truth and facts and those that present them because they don’t tow the “catastrophic human caused climate change line” are discredited and silenced. And then there are the “Science” publications which also censor dissenting data and voices.
The late Dr. William Gray from Colorado University was the founding father of modern tropical storm forecasting. Bill Gray – Hurricane Pioneer | Real Climate Science
When Al Gore asked him to speak at one of his climate propaganda events. Bill told Gore that he would be glad to speak but he did not believe in what Gore was selling. From that time on Dr. Gray never saw a dime of Federal Grant money. Tony Heller, whose site I linked to about the fires was good friends with Bill and promised him to fight the scam and continues to do so today.
How right you are, rah, to differentiate. It always fascinates me the hubris of those power mad people (because it is about the transfer of wealth and the power that goes with it…not “climate”… that’s just the vehicle) who seem to think they, the near undetectable specks in this God made universe, can control our atmosphere. That they have chosen carbon dioxide as their villain just shows their absolute ignorance about how nature works. And of course those who are shut down are in the same category as the true medical worthies who have exposed the vaxes.
You mention the hyper inflated egotist Michael Mann. Mark Steyn, the prolific and knowledgeable author, raconteur, debater, and broadcaster is currently in the 7th (I believe) year of a lawsuit brought by Mann because of his truth telling about that fraud, in the DC courts. The powers that be mean to financially break him, thus the dragging out…and out and out. Very much a Jarndyce vs Jarndyce situation.
Those who point out the utter fallacies of the snake oil these grifters are pushing, such as Dr Gray and Mr Steyn are silenced by hook or crook(s).
when I watch how so many fields of science lay back and allow these charlatans have their way, I wonder about the rest.
when I watch all the disciplines involved in the frauds committed in the name of covid, I am convinced, science and medicine are no longer about science or healing.
you are right, government funding has destroyed both.
as the man said, power corrupts, and government is power. it is very hard to resist the corruption that is government power. that corruption spreads as government exercises the power to take money and hand it out on it’s conditions.
just look at all the charities that encourage good people to brave the elements and criminals so that they can break laws to come here. corrupted by government money, given so that they can help the survivors.
If you can corrupt churches with government money, what hope do scientists have in comparison? Or doctors. government has them all by the balls, promising to not crush anything if they behave.
Government money = OUR money. They’ve produced nothing to earn it..as is said, all taxation theft.
mrs. Oleaey’s cow?
just a very gentle correction in case somebody wants to look it up….
“mrs. o’leary” !??
top o’ the morning to you, flyover,
and have a great day!?
Here’s an older book which asks about the shortcomings of science based on facts. Some great writing. I don’t know exactly where it ended up because I haven’t finished reading it. But it’s some first class Socratic analysis.

Dear Heavenly Father.. You are our Great Physician and we gratefully praise Your Holy Name. You alone can
heal our land Father.
You alone can heal our broken bodies and spirits and return us to a proper relationship

THE VISION AND THE VERITY
“Called to be saints.” 1 Cor. i. 2
Thank God for the sight of all you have never yet been. You have had the vision, but you are not there yet by any means. It is when we are in the valley, where we prove whether we will be the choice ones, that most of us turn back. We are not quite prepared for the blows which must come if we are going to be turned into the shape of the vision. We have seen what we are not, and what God wants us to be, but are we willing to have the vision “batter’d to shape and use” by God? The batterings always come in commonplace ways and through commonplace people.
There are times when we do know what God’s purpose is; whether we will let the vision be turned into actual character depends upon us, not upon God. If we prefer to loll on the mount and live in the memory of the vision, we will be of no use actually in the ordinary stuff of which human life is made up. We have to learn to live in reliance on what we saw in the vision, not in ecstasies and conscious contemplation of God, but to live in actualities in the light of the vision until we get to the veritable reality. Every bit of our training is in that direction. Learn to thank God for making known His demands.
The little “I am” always sulks when God says DO. Let the little “I am” be shriveled up in God’s indignation – “I AM THAT I AM hath sent thee.” He must dominate. Is it not penetrating to realize that God knows where we live, and the kennels we crawl into! He will hunt us up like a lightning flash. No human being knows human beings as God does.

October 4th Devotional
Sundance (and/or Admin):
Is there anyway you can find to limit the sheer volume and size of videos/links? Though I can appreciate the open feeling of the board, it almost feels as of late like this comment board is being nearly hijacked by 2-3 users who are FLOODING it with pictures and links that slow the page-load down to a crawl. Maybe like 3 links or large videos/pics a day? It’s your blog/site as it should be, of course. But, shouldn’t it be- your page, more than any one other user’s?
Cheers, btw- and thanks, as always for the great insight AND open forum. Both are refreshing, these days. Many are working to make the regular base, for you. Bookmarks aplenty 😉
Mornin’ infidels.
Also catnip and fennel tea.
Pandora Papers: An offshore data tsunami
https://www.icij.org/investigations/pandora-papers/about-pandora-papers-leak-dataset/
A 2.94 terabyte data trove exposes the offshore secrets of wealthy elites from more than 200 countries and territories. These are people who use tax and secrecy havens to buy property and hide assets; many avoid taxes and worse. They include more than 330 politicians and 130 Forbes billionaires, as well as celebrities, fraudsters, drug dealers, royal family members and leaders of religious groups around the world.

Death cult – these politicians are all members of some strange death cult. If they can’t kill people with abortions they’ll get them through forced vasectomies.
Let me guess – he’s a Democrat.

“The Process Of Demoralization Is Complete And Irreversible” | Real Climate Science
Verse of the Day for Monday, October 4, 2021
✟
“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Acts 2:21 (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.
Hello —
Just fyi Pluto (free streaming app) has cut ALL conservative channels from its lineup. What is even more strange is that I cannot find press releases about this change, and the channels involved are STILL listing Pluto; therefore this seems like a total stealth move. I have informed as many of these channels as I can
This includes Newsmax, Real America’s Voice, Blaze TV and The First.
So…..looks like on 10/4 we all need to have Cinnamon Buns for Breakfast, skip lunch, and have Tacos for Dinner washed down with Vodka. AWESOME 😉
Where’s that nimrodman ?
I don’t think i have seen any comments around here or there lately….
Anyone know ?
No but i’ll keep an eye out now.
good!
Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger have all been down for over one hour and counting…
Wonder if China is moving on Taiwan now…
Facebook, Instagram and WhatApp all have been down over an hour and still are,
Amazing how prophetic some well known songs mostly from the 80’s, late 70’s, possibly a good few of earlier vintage as well.
Take these two by Chris Rea – Looking for the summer (my guess is where we are now) and The Road to hell (where we’ve probably always been).
I’d like to add a 3rd to mix with “Let’s Dance’, but I guess that’s still a bit premature AND up to US.
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.
