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 swap!
May the the Lord richly bless you with expanding joy because of it.
You helped kickstart my day because of it.
Thanks

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.””

Please please please label your YouTube videos? Just a word or two? I so appreciate your posts but I use my phone to watch and it’s difficult to go back and forth.
NATIONAL GUMBO DAY
On October 12th, the menu spotlights National Gumbo Day for food holidays. This heavily seasoned, stew-like dish fills us up on chilly fall days.
Originating in southern Louisiana during the 18th century, Gumbo typically consists of strongly-flavored stock with meat or shellfish, a thickener, and seasoned vegetables. The seasoned vegetables may include celery, bell peppers, and onions. In Cajun cuisine, the trio is known as the “holy trinity.” Most people serve Gumbo over rice. Gumbo also falls into different categories based on the following types of thickener used:
Thx, Rebel – oh man, that looks good !
I won’t get out tonight but tomorrow a blues guy I like plays at a restaurant up the street that serves gumbo, think I’ll get out of my crib and get some dinner out
Been to New Orleans couple times in the 90s and aughts, would always go to Patoots Cajun Cabin, sit at the bar with gumbo, bread, and couple beers and watch the cajun / zydeco bands. Great band called Mamou infrequently and regular house band Mitch Cormier and the Can’t Hardly Playboys
The gumbo was good enough, haven’t had gumbo enough to be a judge
Went to one restaurant closer to the river, they had a gumbo sampler so you could try 4 different kinds …. would like to try that again or go to a gumbo fest where I could try a buncha different ones
thanks maw
that’d be the fellers
at first glance I thought “maybe that’s his son carrying it on, he’s way too young to be the Mitch I saw”
then I saw the date on the video – 1995 – that’d be the same year I first saw them – so 26 years ago
thanks again, that’s a real blast from the past
NATIONAL FARMER’S DAY
National Farmer’s Day on October 12th offers much-deserved praise to the hard-working farmers across the nation. In the midst of harvest-season, the day pays tribute to the men, women, and families who put food in the grocery stores and on our tables every day.

NATIONAL VERMONT DAY
On October 12th, The Green Mountain State is recognized on National Vermont Day. It is the 14th state to join the United States. The state derives its name from French words vert for green and mont for mountain.
Populated primarily by Abenaki tribes before French and English settlers arrived, Vermont is a densely forested mountain state. Claimed by the French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1609 for France, Vermont’s first European settlement was established in 1666 at Fort Ste. Anne. The first English settlement was built in 1724.
It should come as no surprise that Vermont produces more maple syrup than any other state. While Pennsylvania has more covered bridges than any other state, Vermont has more per square mile.
Sit back, close your eyes, and prepare to be transported.

Then They Came For Your Mind: The Untold Story of Psychosurgery
This is long, but I found myself glued to it all the way to end. It was disturbing and yet there is “nothing new under the sun.” It was a story of competing ideologies: the inalienable rights of the individual focused on one’s relationship to God vs. the idea that the individual should be sacrificed for the greater good of a utopian society and man’s desire to replace God. This Dr. is a treasure. The world needs more like him.
He is describing the evils of men akin to Fauchi and Dasak and, unfortunately, countless others, that are now engaged in such vile acts on a global scale intended to touch, if not destroy, the life of every human on this planet.
Thanks, this was mesmerizing.
By the way, this gentleman reminds me of the angel Clarence, with a PhD. 🙂
. . . 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)
GETTING INTO GOD’S STRIDE
“Enoch walked with God.” Genesis v. 24
The test of a man’s religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights (cf. John i. 36). It is a painful business to get through into the stride of God, it means getting your second wind spiritually. In learning to walk with God there is always the difficulty of getting into His stride; but when we have got into it, the only characteristic that manifests itself is the life of God. The individual man is lost sight of in his personal union with God, and the stride and the power of God alone are manifested.
It is difficult to get into stride with God, because when we start walking with Him we find He has outstripped us before we have taken three steps. He has different ways of doing things, and we have to be trained and disciplined into His ways. It was said of Jesus – “He shall not fail nor be discouraged,” because He never worked from His own individual standpoint but always from the standpoint of His Father, and we have to learn to do the same. Spiritual truth is learned by atmosphere, not by intellectual reasoning. God’s Spirit alters the atmosphere of our way of looking at things, and things begin to be possible which never were possible before. Getting into the stride of God means nothing less than union with Himself. It takes a long time to get there, but keep at it. Don’t give in because the pain is bad just now, get on with it, and before long you will find you have a new vision and a new purpose.

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.
Pray for The Light, my friends. It is now shining in those dark corners of clouded minds that have been afraid (or just too satiated with stuff) to see what is happening.
Spread The Light, The Word. Just in one man’s humble opinion- that’s what it’s all about.
<3 to you all
“Just in one man’s humble opinion” – I assume you refer to yourself here – however humble that opinion may be, it has and is still shared by men and woman of tremendous courage, faith, determination – without whom, and without their sacrifice, sometimes the ultimate – our world would have probably ceased to exist thousands of years ago – or at the very least be unrecognizable as a place of sentient beings, placed here by the Creator. Shine that light my friend – NOW – In the Living years – Mike & the Mechanics.
RIP Paddy !
Early snow this year in Logan, Utah. Lot of power outages because the trees still had their leaves on them.
The Lord’s Prayer. I am a Catholic so ours doesn’t include the Doxology by default.
Noticed they are using the guitar passage from this song in a yogurt commercial.
Anybody here know whether or not this is more MSM/CDC ‘staged/propaganda’, or..???

The implausibility factor alone screams that it is indeed vile propaganda.
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.
Amen.
I may have missed it, but where are we at with the $600 in your bank account, coming for you, money monitoring situation? Is that still a thing? Saw something vague about it on Fox…
That was going to be part of the stalled infrastructure deal, so, it hasn’t gone anywhere yet.
Just drove across the U.S. from Oregon to North Carolina. SUV, no motorhome. Gas costs varied: $3.79 in SE Oregon; $4.59 in Wendover; NV; $3.79 in Lander, WY; $3.19 in Wall, SD; $2.94 in Mitchell, SD; $3.29 at Morton, IL; $3.05 in Chillicothe, OH; and $3.18 in Beckley, WV.
Hotels were welcoming though more expensive than last year. Touted their extra cleaning and sanitizing efforts. Housekeeping upon request or every three days. We only stayed one night at most so it was no problem for us. Signs on doors say masks required, vaccinated or not – no enforcement. Suggest family only in elevators or 6 feet apart. Some chose to ride alone. Hot breakfast is being served again, tho one place offered only a to go bag of muffin/bagel/yogurt.
Tons of trucks on the highways. Construction slow downs, the worst being on Hwy 77 in NC, north and southbound. The biggest Costco in the world in Salt Lake City was packed with products. No shortage there. Checked the local Walmart where we are in NC, no Augason Farm bulk dehydrated foods. None. Only a 6 ft section of bulk size foods. Pathetic.
Will be driving westbound in a few days.
