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 †

Can’t resist posting this. In ’83 Linda Rohstadt appeared in the Pirates of Panzance in Central park NYC.
By jove, that bloke is brilliant!
Very nice!
Pretty good ear for a deaf guy!
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.””

8 October 1957
As a follow-up to his six million seller, “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On”, Jerry Lee Lewis records his biggest hit, “Great Balls of Fire” at Sam Phillips’ Sun Studio in Memphis, Tennessee. When released a month later it will sell over a million copies in the first ten days, eventually selling five million more. The record will peak at #2 in January, 1958, being kept out of the top spot by Danny And The Juniors’ “At The Hop”.
8 October 1977
Debbie Boone’s “You Light Up My Life” begins an eight week stay at the top of the Cash Box Best Sellers chart. The record also led the Billboard Hot 100 for ten consecutive weeks, becoming one of the most successful singles of the 1970s. In the UK, it peaked at #48.
8 October 1988
Pink Floyd‘s “Dark Side Of The Moon” finally falls off of Billboard’s Hot 200 Album Chart after a record 741 weeks. It has sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide.
Danny And The Juniors’ “At The Hop”.
“Well you can rock it you can roll it do the stomp and do the strollin’ At The Hop Hop Hop…Hop!”
In the top video, @ 2:11 the blond on the right is “Frannie” – consistently voted most popular American Bandstand dancer (and a certain teenage boy’s heartthrob ?).
In Money, I wonder how many recognize what that sound is at the beginning?

NATIONAL PIEROGI DAY
On October 8th, National Pierogi Day recognizes an international dish that is a type of dumpling.
The Eastern European immigrants popularized pierogi in the United States. At first, immigrants served pierogi to only their families. However, ethnic restaurants also served pierogi. After World War II, ethnic churches sold pierogi as a staple fundraiser. By the 1960s, grocery stores marketed pierogi for the frozen food aisles in many parts of the United States. In fact, grocery stores still sell them today.
While many eat pierogi as a main dish in other countries, Americans typically consider them a side dish.
Can still see Grandma rollin’ out the dough. Mushroom soup and Pierogi was our meatless, humble Christmas Eve meal.
And we are in a panic over some empty shelves.
NATIONAL FLUFFERNUTTER DAY – 8 OCTOBER
In 1917, Archibald Query of Somerville, Massachusetts invented a sweet marshmallow-like spread called Marshmallow Creme. Before that, in 1913 during World War I, Emma and Amory Curtis of Melrose, Massachusetts invented Snowflake Marshmallow Creme. And then they published a recipe for a peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwich, the earliest known example of a Fluffernutter.
Query sold his recipe for Marshmallow Creme to Durkee-Mower, Inc. in 1920, who renamed it Marshmallow Fluff. Over 100 years later they continue to sell it under that name today.
Where did the term “Fluffernutter” come from? Well, the advertising agency for Durkee-Mower created it in 1960 in an attempt to effectively market the peanut butter and marshmallow sandwich.
Alexandra now has her own website where one can purchase her debut album as a CD delivered with loving care directly from the UK: AlexandraWhittinghan.com
Mine arrived today and the above is the first track, and I immediately realized that one of my most beloved Mannheim Steamroller Christmas songs, Los Peces En El Ri0, cribs the intro from this classic!
Thanks to Garrison for the introduction!
Oh, that’s not right!
that may have been for a grooming show….
but if somebody actually requested that – yuck!
Just in time for Halloween!
Neither is this!
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Amen ?
The Prayer of Jesus
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)
From Ikos IV of the “Akathist to Almighty God for Help in Trouble”:
O Lord, my Lord, bestower of understanding, grant me understanding, that I may be able to escape the cunning wiles and wicked treachery of those who hate me!
Slavite Gospoda
Psalm 135 (136 in KJV)
An Orthodox Christian hymn in the Serbian tradition is sung by the University of Arkansas Schola Cantorum.
Praise ye the Lord. Amen
Beautiful choir, very moving.
Thank you Sepp.
I’ve been saddened by the news of Casey DeSantis’ cancer. What a terrible thing to happen to that beautiful family.
I remembered another woman in the public eye, Sandra Lee, who had a similar diagnosis, and I looked it up, it was back in March 2015, and she appears to be doing great today.
I hope when walking through the fire, Casey can keep her eyes on the other side, the bright and once again healthy future that awaits her.
THE EXCLUSIVENESS OF CHRIST
“Come unto Me.” Matthew xi. 28
Is it not humiliating to be told that we must come to Jesus! Think of the things we will not come to Jesus Christ about. If you want to know how real you are, test yourself by these words – “Come unto Me.” In every degree in which you are not real, you will dispute rather than come, you will do anything rather than come the last lap of unutterable foolishness – “Just as I am.” As long as you have the tiniest bit of spiritual impertinence, it will always reveal itself in the fact that you are expecting God to tell you to do a big thing, and all He is telling you to do is to “come.”
“Come unto Me.” When you hear those words you will know that something must happen in you before you can come. The Holy Spirit will show you what you have to do, anything at all that will put the axe at the root of the thing which is preventing you from getting through. You will never get further until you are willing to do that one thing. The Holy Spirit will locate the one impregnable thing in you, but He cannot budge it unless you are willing to let Him.
How often have you come to God with your requests and gone away with the feeling – Oh, well, I have done it this time! And yet you go away with nothing, whilst all the time God has stood with outstretched hands not only to take you, but for you to take Him. Think of the invincible, unconquerable, unwearying patience of Jesus – “COME UNTO ME.”

Hi sorry duchess01 – I posted a question about your artwork, then realized I was posting on yesterdays thread. Interested to find out if you are using a similar technique I sometimes use to “layer/ghost/texture your background – if it’s not a trade secret that is – lol.
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.

Wonderful ending for the children and families !
A 3 yr old Canadian child. Jude Leyton, was also lost in March in dense, forest in northern Ontario. The temps ranged from 16 to minus 2…The child was lost for 3 days ! After a night of cold and rain, searchers found him eyes closed, lying on the wet ground.
Jude wandered away from his Grand father’s fishing camp.
Another wonderful ending !
Perhaps this man is saying “I don’t want my children taught in school that they are evil because they are white.”
Who the hell does Merrick Garland think he is?
“America First Legal published a letter to Inspector General Michael Horowitz to investigate improprieties related to Merrick Garland’s October 4th threats to American parents of school children.”
Copy of letter link:
“On Thursday Mark Levin broadcast a letter with insider information on the teachers union, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and the FBI who met and organized how to combat America’s parents who were speaking out at local school board meetings across the country. The parents were outraged at the COVID masking and vaccination rules, critical race theory indoctrination and open porn disguised as literature promoted in American schools today.”

“’The Merchant of Death’ is Back: Nobel Prize becomes the Soros Prize”
“Alfred Nobel is spinning in his grave: After the Nobel Prize in Physics went to scientists claiming a direct link between human carbon dioxide emissions and global warming, the Nobel Prize in Literature went to an obscure Tanzanian writer named Abdulrazak Gurnah, whose main qualification seemed to be being a Muslim-African POC who criticizes colonialism (despite living in London instead of his native Zanzibar). The Nobel Committee once again bypassed more well-known candidates like Salman Rushdie, Margaret Atwood, Thomas Pynchon, Michel Houllebecq and Milan Kundera.”

Please pray for my beloved Lilly.
She is my little, feisty Border Collie of 15 years.
Her body is finally failing her spirit.
My little girl has been through so much.
And the Rainbow Bridge is in view.
We will hopefully carry her to heaven from home.
My wife is a RVT, and we’ve given the Lord our animals from home before.
But it is still rough on my wife. Lilly is her dog too.
Pray for a safe and peaceful transformation from earthly soul to a heavenly one.
God Bless and keep us all.
We will all meet after crossing the river & walking across the Rainbow Bridge…
Sorry to hear ackman. I feel your pain so much; they are precious in our every day lives.
Just prayed. We have a 14 year old Border. I get it.
Thank you for your prayers.
I remember Lilly herding my toddlers around the house.
When she wasn’t herding chickens or ducks in the yard.
She nipped my kids more than she nipped my birds.
God Bless You
The “feminine entity” of God has been used to describe the holy spirit, so I often wonder whether many songs or lyrics may be in fact “misinterpreted” as being about an ‘earthly woman”. Funny, now that I play that “game” many, many songs I always thought of as the usual “she this, her that’ when “interpreted” or thought of as “she” being the feminine “holy spirit” some of them take on a completely different meaning. Take this oldie from way back.

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.
