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 DESSERT DAY
People around the country indulge every October 14th on National Dessert Day! Celebrated by way of the local bakery, grandma’s house or chocolate shop, desserts include candies, pies, ice cream, fruits, cookies, pastries, cobblers, and donuts, too.
Oh! Yum, yum!
STARTS TOMORROW
A barely noticed (by me at least) giant of history in the Holy Land Rabbi Akiva, a leading Jewish scholar and sage, a tanna of the first century. He is also sometimes credited with redacting Abraham’s version of the Sefer Yetzirah, one of the central texts of Jewish mysticism. He is referred to in the Talmud as Rosh la-Hakhamim “Chief of the Sages”. Another legend according to which, the gates of the infernal regions opened for Akiva is analogous to the more familiar tale that he entered paradise and was allowed to leave it unscathed. He was also executed by the Romans. Wise and holy speeches. “I will tell you a parable. To what can this situation be compared: A fox was once walking alongside of a river and saw swarms of fish going from place to place. He said to them: ‘From what are you fleeing?’ “The fish replied: ‘From the nets that people throw to catch us.”
Thanks, that was an interesting Rabbi hole I just dived into to learn of this man. Important enough to be remembered, but those memories were twisted into myths to justify certain things centuries after he died. The formation of a form of Judaism that would survive. And here I am millennia later, wondering what parts are true.
Kind of like wondering what Moses, who was raised as an Egyptian could tell the descendants of Israel about what Abraham their forefather was like, centuries after the fact.
It is – what it is now
Of course had the good Rabbi been here today, he’d probably describe it (paradise) as “The Great gig in the Sky”
THE KEY TO THE MISSIONARY
“All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations.” Matthew xxviii. 18-20
The basis of missionary appeals is the authority of Jesus Christ, not the needs of the heathen. We are apt to look upon Our Lord as One Who assists us in our enterprises for God. Our Lord puts Himself as the absolute sovereign supreme Lord over His disciples. He does not say the heathen will be lost if we do not go; He simply says – “Go ye therefore and teach all nations.” Go on the revelation of My sovereignty; teach and preach out of a living experience of Me.
“Then the eleven disciples went…unto a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.” v. 16. If I want to know the universal sovereignty of Christ, I must know Him for myself, and how to get alone with Him; I must take time to worship the Being Whose Name I bear. “Come unto Me” – that is the place to meet Jesus. Are you weary and heavy laden? How many missionaries are! We banish those marvelous words of the universal Sovereign of the world to the threshold of an after meeting; they are the words of Jesus to His disciples.
“Go ye therefore…” Go simply means live. Acts i. 8 is the description of how to go. Jesus did not say – Go into Jerusalem and Judaea and Samaria, but, “Ye shall be witnesses unto Me” in all these places. He undertakes to establish the goings.
“If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you…” – that is the way to keep going in our personal lives. Where we are placed is a matter of indifference; God engineers the goings.
“None of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself…” That is how to keep going till we’re gone.
Oswald Chambers
October 14th Devotional
As a missionary do you think they study before going into a new land?
We are all missionaries when we accept Jesus as our Lord and savior.
Wisdom is when knowledge and experience are joined.
Meaning this: you may not always hit the bullseye but in persistence and studying of Gods word you will succeed. Even as young Christians God will help with any deficits we may have. It’s just the steps forward we are responsible for.
I was thinking about the term “missionary” when I posted this and thinking we are all missionaries. We may not go to a foreign land in all instances, but we become missionaries when we live our everyday lives totally for God which then becomes the witness and testimony of God’s grace and provision before others.
True. I had a coworker who was a “missionary”. She had a difficult life. One of five children in a single parent household… dad and later, first husband were alcoholic … she had infinite problems that she managed with grace and humor.
She died suddenly a couple of months after retiring; she had lived with unusually high blood pressure all her brief life.
But what a delight she was to be around. And she never hesitated to direct anyone’s attention to her love of Jesus. Remembering her brings me joy

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.

I have been trying hard not to look at Casey DeSantis’ recent diagnosis in terms of what it means for her husband’s career.
It just occurred to me though, that she may well be thinking along those lines herself. I hope not, but she’s so obviously the kind of woman who backs her man all the way.
Anyway, still thinking of her and wishing her a speedy recovery.
Yes. Let’s be praying for her and for her family.
Mornin’ infidels.
Morning.
There are two types of natural immunity, both ignored. There is the kind you get from having the disease and recovering. Then there is the type that prevents getting it at all.
Your eight words sums up perfectly one reason why the Administration is CROOKED.
Nice job.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Amen ?

LIVE: FDA panel to vote on Moderna Covid booster shots — 10/14/2021
A key Food and Drug Administration panel is holding a meeting Thursday to discuss and vote on the use of booster shots of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine.
Depending on how the meeting goes, the agency could make a final decision within days, handing it off to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and its vaccine advisory committee to make their own decision.
FDA scientists declined to take a stance on whether to back booster shots of Moderna’s Covid vaccine in an unusual move Tuesday, saying the data shows currently authorized vaccines still protect against severe disease and death in the U.S.
Public school bureaucrats in Spring 2020: “The consensus from experts is remote school learning will be safe and effective”
Public school bureaucrats in Fall 2021: “You don’t actually expect the hold us to the effective part, do you? Speaking of effective, pay no attention to the CRT and LGBT curriculum and library books or to the guys strolling into the girls bathrooms.”
Rest of civilized world: “OK, you win, build your wall“

I was going to buy a small loaf of rye bread at Safeway this morning. Changed my mind when I saw that I would be paying over $6 for it.
Where is your Safeway located? We shop at one in north central MD and the prices are getting there but not quite there yet. Currently a loaf of rye costs anywhere from $2.50 to $4.20.
