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.””
—
Micah 6:8 — “He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”
John 13:34-35 — “A new commandment I give to you, that you should love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love among one another.”
Mark 12:29-31 (cf. Deut. 6:4-5, Lev. 19:18) — “Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘Hear this O Israel: The Lord our God is One Lord, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is not another commandment greater than these.”
Thank you.
arent those the group of eff-bee-lie metrosexuals?
Lol
Nope. I think those are the FBI’s toxic masculinity club members. That’s as good as it gets there.
🙂 🙂
Oh, great. The FBI has infiltrated them too. (Those are the same guys, right?)
Making rabid feminists’ and gun controllers’ heads explode all at once
The claims for rounds per minute are outrageously elevated. The TEC 9, for example is claimed to fire 700 rounds per minute (with a 32 round magazine?) You better be very quick at changing magazine. The actual stat is 210 rounds per minute.. a ssuming you have converted the semi-automatic weapon to full auto. (thus violating the law)
I have three grown daughters and a lovely wife.
THAT is some great video.
There wasn’t much room to pin medals on those gals, but I love their grit.
17 October 1964
A British group known collectively as Manfred Mann had the number one single on the Billboard Pop chart with “Do Wah Diddy Diddy”. The song was sung by vocalist Paul Pond, who used the stage name Paul Jones. Keyboard player Michael Lubowitz would retain the band’s name and continued to turn out chart hits until the mid 1980s.
17 October 1964
The Zombies‘ “She’s Not There” is released in the US, where it would become the band’s highest charting single, reaching #2. In the UK, it went to #12.
17 October 1979
Fleetwood Mac‘s two record set “Tusk”, an experimental set of songs that cost the band a then record $1 million to record, is released by Warner Brothers Records. “Tusk” peaked at #4 in the US and achieved sales in excess of two million copies, spawning two Top Ten singles, “Sara” and the title track. It reached #1 in the UK and achieved Platinum status.
I love Fleetwood Mac! Thanks for this post…
ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons helping Rodney out. This is Rodney’s latest album. I was given “Texas” as a Christmas gift and I’ve damn near wore it out listening to it. The whole album—every song— is evocative of particular time that defines much of what most people equate with Texas culture. I lived on that side of Houston during those years and so listening to these songs make all the more real for me. It was like going home. Well, yes, you had to be there. . . .
Drummer knows how to drum ?
I bet Billy misses Dusty something fierce….Thanks for this post. I love this stuff – hope I can find the album somewhere…
It’s available on Amazon, I think. Billy’s lead guitar is a perfect fit.
NATIONAL PASTA DAY
October is National Pasta Month, and October 17th recognizes National Pasta Day.
Pasta lovers celebrate!
While we find noodles all over the world, pasta is a type of noodle of traditional Italian cuisine. The first reference dates to 1154 in Sicily and was first attested to in English in 1874. Typically, it is made from an unleavened dough of durum wheat flour. The flour is mixed with water or eggs and formed into sheets or various shapes. It can then be served fresh or dried to be stored for later use.
NATIONAL MULLIGAN DAY
National Mulligan Day is observed annually on October 17th.
In golf, a mulligan happens when a player gets a second chance to perform a specific move or action. The day offers an opportunity for giving yourself a second chance or, as some people call it, a “do-over.”
There is not a one of us who has not wished for a Mulligan. If we’re lucky God in His mercy provides them. And, if we are aware, we give eternal thanks for them. Deo Gratias.
Blast from the past…..
Did I see (and hear) june carter in there??
Sure did.

The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.

My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection the Holy Spirit. O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.
Really windy day here – PERFECT for us surfing and sailing types. Sand And Rain And Heaven/Hell – just depends on how you manage to navigate it I guess. Anyway One of my favorites. Dark Star – CSN

The 50th Psalm (Septuagint)
Psalm 51 (KJV – Masoretic)
“with child-like humility and simplicity”
is part of the answer to the question on
“How Should One Read or Listen to the Sacred Scriptures?”
that was in this pamphlet translated from pre-revolutionary Russia.

Thank you, Sepp. This is so beautiful. I always try to remember when praying for others and those I love, that God is doing better things for them than I can hope or pray for, even and especially when I can’t see how. That is the centre of my faith which I cling to during these uncertain and distressing times.

Thanks rah.
I’m not going to stop trying to understand all of the 6uild 6ack 6etter stuff.
But I’m certainly trying to better prep for the days ahead. We are fairly squared away as far as getting through 3 months.
Any links on prepping “how to’s” from fellow Treepers may help more than just me and mine.
Any input will be greatly appreciated, implemented, and passed on. ?✝️???

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.

Sadly funny.
God Bless America, 🙂
GREATER WORKS
“And greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.” John xiv. 12
Prayer does not fit us for the greater works; prayer IS the greater work. We think of prayer as a common-sense exercise of our higher powers in order to prepare us for God’s work. In the teaching of Jesus Christ prayer is the working of the miracle of Redemption in me which produces the miracle of Redemption in others by the power of God. The way fruit remains is by prayer, but remember it is prayer based on the agony of Redemption, not on my agony. Only a child gets prayer answered; a wise man does not.
Prayer is the battle; it is a matter of indifference where you are. Whichever way God engineers circumstances, the duty is to pray. Never allow the thought – “I am of no use where I am;” because you certainly can be of no use where you are not. Wherever God has dumped you down in circumstances pray, ejaculate to Him all the time. “Whatsoever ye ask in My name, that will I do.” We won’t pray unless we get thrills, that is the intensest form of spiritual selfishness. We have to labour along the line of God’s direction, and He says PRAY. “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.”
There is nothing thrilling about a labouring man’s work, but it is the labouring man who makes the conceptions of the genius possible; and it is the labouring saint who makes the conceptions of his Master possible. You labour at prayer and results happen all the time from His standpoint. What an astonishment it will be to find, when the veil is lifted, the souls that have been reaped by you, simply because you had been in the habit of taking your orders from Jesus Christ.

If You See a Blue Twist Tie on Your Bread Bag, This Is What It Means
Bakers have Wednesdays and Sundays off, remember, so if you’re a freshoholic, you might want to avoid buying bread on those days. For the freshest bread, check out the (not-so-secret) color codes:
Monday – blue
Tuesday – green
Thursday – red
Friday – white
Saturday – yellow
you remind me of a poem i lost years ago called Monday is Blue
i have forgotten the colors for Tues and Thurs …
Monday is blue – turning to purple after 5 – 5:30 – 6 – 6:30 as the case might be
Tuesday is ???
Wednesday is green
Thursday is ??
Friday is black – all day. It does not change color
Saturday is red – a bright red – swinging red – red Saturday
Sunday is White – a beautiful white that only Sunday can be
Ha!
UN Climate Change Conference Reportedly Using Diesel Generators To Charge Teslas Being Used As Shuttles | ZeroHedge
Saw this, rah. Multiple eyerolls. These frauds are incapable of recognizing their own hypocrisies. And I can tell you from my own experiences of observing the British politicians and all that they spew, they cannot recognize how absurd they look. Benny Hills, all of them.
Mornin’ infidels.
I’m sure Rush will be there in spirit.
Today I will hand-write letters to my children on stationery I designed with our family coat-of-arms and printed from a color laser printer. (Regular ink is fine also, I’m not a printer snob).
I’ll talk about plans for family gatherings, Thanksgiving, Christmas. And also routine things of the week.
So that when I’m gone (I am old) the family will have a tangible touch-point to connect generations, maintaining our heritage and family history knowledge.
Highly recommend this to whosoever feels so moved. Have a great Lord’s Day!
It might be a good idea to make a copy of each letter to keep a complete archive in one person’s hands that could be handed down as the original letters would be scattered.
Good point – I’ll start doing that, thanks!

“The launch of the international proof of vaccination is a key step towards safely reopening international borders and supporting Australia’s Covid-19 economic recovery,” said the Minister for Employment, Workforce and Skills, Stuart Robert.
The certificate features a QR code to prove vaccination that is internationally recognised and can be printed or uploaded to compatible Covid-19 travel apps, and can be created through Medicare online and the Express Plus Medicare app.

Here is a link to enlightened thoughts on the Lord’s Prayer by Ivan Sikorsky. Though he wrote this many, many years ago, it really rings true today:

How cool is this? I’ve never heard how the periodic table came to be. I love that he predicted elements yet to be found.

There is currently no TS activity in the Atlantic, Caribbean, or Gulf and none is expected for at least 48 hours. It will probably be longer than that. If we see some TS activity develop the Western Caribbean is the most likely area for it to happen and that not until later this week or early next week.
It is looking more and more like the first half of this winter from November through New Years is going to be considerably colder and stormier than we have seen in the east for the last few years. The models are projecting a significant area of stratospheric warming over the Arctic late this month or early next month and that will drive Arctic air down into the midwest US. At this time it looks like the states bordering the Great Lakes will see the coldest weather from this. While October for the US will end up being warmer than average, November and December are likely to considerably colder and stormier than average and especially so for the states around the Lakes.
Please don’t shoot me. I’m just the messenger!
Agreed. I’ve noticed the waterfowl around Houston, Texas have been flying in formation for a month already. They intend to be as far South as they can get, and early. They endure the weather up close and personal, so they don’t mess around.
What do other Treepers see in the fly-ways of North America?
Texas BTW, has had one the coolest and wettest summers on record. In fact ever since those snake oil salesmen that call themselves “climate scientists” predicted a “permanent drought” during the last dry spell for the SW, Texas has been wetter than average nearly every year.
As for the birds here in central Indiana. The doves, sparrows, nut hatches, tit mice, Jays, Cardinals, and the downy, hairy, and red breasted wood peckers are showing up at my feeders. Most of them will stick around all winter. The Robins headed south at the end of August. Most of the European Starlings are gone. The red headed woodpeckers moved on.
There are still some Canada honkers and a few ducks around but more and more are heading south now.
But heck! My silver maple trees, Chinese Elms, and the apple trees in the back field have not even really started to change though the red maples across the street sure are and they are beautiful. My willows have already shed most of their leaves and my Cotton wood is almost completely bare. The Oaks are turning and have been shedding since last week.
We had hummingbirds late this Fall, perhaps due to warm Oct here in MI (southeast). I dont know enough about flight patterns to recognize, but more about presence.
solar flares for next 10-15 years will be less causing colder temps thus snow birds increasing and oil prices predicted to go up by 57% so much for climate versus causes(facts)
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.
