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 †

Beautiful. And doesn’t she know it!
I stake my eternity based on what’s revealed in Scripture.
Great post.
But certainly, Climate Cultists, we here on earth have control of the climate.
A conceit so egregious, the brazenness of it takes my breath away.
“Thou shall have no other gods before me.”
Six days of creation are six stages of our salvation, The process.
All the words are simplified for our limited understanding but it is the process where we are joined with God. Sunday=day of rest.
My point is, to understand the Bible you must put all these pieces together. Each piece enlightens us more, it’s not a coincidence it’s the process.
If anyone sat down and explained all this in one setting you would be unable to understand it and most would be “pearls to swine”.
Again, all your love or focus must be on God because every day, every second, every moment, God explains these things. The Bible is our verification that it is his guidance but, the Holy Spirit is the one revealing his plan.
“Never leave you or forsake you” fits right there.
The very best learning is hands on, we are in school and every issue matters. With a positive faith that God is in control, we can be enlightened.
It is no wonder all the negative that is thrown from these issues of late. These issues are the pressure needed to form gems, diamonds.
If eternity is the goal, all this can be taken in with faith, without…..I don’t see hope, it would be dark.
NATIONAL CHOCOLATE DAY – 28 OCTOBER
Chocolate comes from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Humans have been cultivating cacao for at least three millennia. The plant grows in Mexico, Central America, and Northern South America. Historians document the earliest known use of cacao seeds at around 1100 BC.
Unsweetened baking chocolate – cocoa solids and cocoa butter in varying proportions.
Sweet chocolate – cocoa solids, cocoa butter or other fat and sugar.
Milk chocolate – sweet chocolate with milk powder or condensed milk.
White chocolate – cocoa butter, sugar, and milk but no cocoa solids.
NATIONAL FIRST RESPONDERS DAY
October 28th sets aside National First Responders Day to honor the men and women who act quickly when an emergency is at hand.
First responders dedicate their lives to save lives. They are the people who run toward a crisis while the rest of the world flees. According to the Department of Homeland Security, 4.6 million career and volunteer first responders support the communities where they live. They are firefighters, police, emergency medical technicians (EMT), paramedics, and 911 operators. In an emergency, they’re the first on the scene. These dedicated professionals answer the call when a crisis arises, often putting their own lives on the line.

IN THE GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER
This mass scored by Josef Haydn is cued to start at 12:30. Three minutes of Haydn at his joyous, glorious best. If you like the Hallelujah Chorus, you’ll probably like this. It carries these words …
For only You are holy; only You are Lord; Only You are most high, Jesus Christ.
You only, O Christ, with the Holy Spirit, are most high in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.
If you want to listen from the beginning, great!
Haydn composed this musical setting in 1798, a time of great convulsion and fracture in Europe. Although it is usually known as the “Nelson Mass,” Haydn originally titled it “Mass for troubled times.”
The trouble of the times is reflected in the first section, the Kyrie Eleison (Lord have mercy). This part of a mass setting is usually somewhat quiet and meek, as suits a prayer for mercy. This Kyrie of Haydn is anything but quiet and meek. Apparently Haydn was trying to portray the desperation and anguish that people felt.
If the tone were desperate and anguished all the way through to the end, it would not carry the Christian message very well. But the feeling after the first four and a half minutes becomes more peaceful and harmonious. Peaceful, but definitely not commonplace.
Thanks to some very gifted Norwegian musicians. Enjoy.
Thank you 1530! Of course, I had to start from the beginning. Always enjoy a beautiful Kyrie Eleison. The timing of Nelson’s victory over Napoleon on Aug. 1st. was indeed a blessed coincidence.
Thanks, Ad rem. Skipping ahead is like skipping dinner for dessert. But it is so tempting.
No Garrison again. Very worrying. I’m hoping all is well with him. ?
That’s been on my mind too.
Yes. We notice when family members don’t show up.
Thanks for that,
and I say
AMEN!
From a performance I did a few years back. We encored the Resurrexit Amen at the end of the service.
Thank you Walrus. Were you playing, singing, or conducting?
official arm waver.
Walrus, to very good effect. Thanks for sharing that lovely amen. Amen.
One of my most favorite masses ~ The Lord Nelson Mass! Thanks for posting…?
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.””
28 October 1958
Buddy Holly appeared on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand, where he lip-synched “It’s So Easy” and “Heartbeat”. It would be Holly’s last major TV appearance.
28 October 1977
Steve Perry makes his first concert appearance with Journey at the Old Waldorf in San Francisco. He would lead them to 17 Billboard Top 40 entries over the next ten years.
28 October 2014
The Allman Brothers Band played what they said would be their final show ever, at New York’s Beacon Theatre, ending their forty-five year career.

Celebrating having what was stolen returned to you makes some sense, but thinking of it as a gain?
And even Yoko Ono tracks will start looking better than any year under FJB. He has already made Carter look competent.

Sundance? A new “non-binary” Battlefield character? I dunno… is this good or bad for business…
I known it’s a macabre interpretation but the first thing I thought was I am seeing biojabbed children transporting Herr Doktor Fauci’s and Peter Dazak’s remains to the Gates of Hell. If you look at it in that way, I’d say it’s a picture of poetic justice.
It seems odd that two of the most effective horror memes are dolls and clowns.
Not odd at all when you realize that the communists have turned every positive aspect of our culture into a negative. Movies which once used to promote American, faith, and family values, are now almost all violence, dark motives, doom and gloom, and dystopian themes. Music went from joy, romance and love to anger, soulless sex, and angst. School went from teaching how great this country is to teaching how criminal this country is. Church went from praising and glorifying God to teaching how bigoted we are if we don’t expand our tolerance for perverted lifestyles that God has specifically warned against in multiple scriptures and how we should forget our sovereignty and allow everyone to violate our borders and laws.
Dolls (children, family values) become objects of evil. Clowns (fun, comedy, silliness) become perpetrators of evil.
Very consistent theme…..
JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH
“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.” Romans v. 10
I am not saved by believing; I realize I am saved by believing. It is not repentance that saves me, repentance is the sign that I realize what God has done in Christ Jesus. The danger is to put the emphasis on the effect instead of on the cause. It is my obedience that puts me right with God, my consecration. Never! I am put right with God because prior to all, Christ died. When I turn to God and by belief accept what God reveals I can accept, instantly the stupendous Atonement of Jesus Christ rushes me into a right relationship with God; and by the supernatural miracle of God’s grace I stand justified, not because I am sorry for my sin, not because I have repented, but because of what Jesus has done. The Spirit of God brings it with a breaking, all-over light, and I know, though I do not know how, that I am saved.
The salvation of God does not stand on human logic, it stands on the sacrificial Death of Jesus. We can be born again because of the Atonement of Our Lord. Sinful men and women can be changed into new creatures, not by their repentance or their belief, but by the marvelous work of God in Christ Jesus which is prior to all experience. The impregnable safety of justification and sanctification is God Himself. We have not to work out these things ourselves; they have been worked out by the Atonement. The supernatural becomes natural by the miracle of God; there is the realization of what Jesus Christ has already done – “IT IS FINISHED.”

The happiness is overwhelming!
Her cup runneth over with joy!
Always know when I have been running hard when I start to get decubiti on my posterior. Saddle sores are what they are. Catch them early and apply triple antibiotic ointment and a bandaid and drive on. Came in the door at 06:00 this morning and go back out at 03:00 tomorrow morning for a 3 stop milk run up in Michigan that runs a total of 573 miles. Tough week this week with multiple screw ups.
When I get a chance I have been reading Ships of Oak and Guns of Iron by Ronald D. UTT on my Kindle. Excellent general history of the war of 1812 that does not get too technical or mired in trivial details but still offers interesting information.
The war of 1812 was really when citizens first began to think of themselves as Americans and not just citizens of their individual states. Forcing the British Empire, the greatest super power of the time to give in and offer favorable terms served notice to the Old World that the United States was a power to be reckoned with.
I will here transcribe a passage from a Brit named Michael Scott who had been a merchant in Jamaica, and wrote from his own experience.
I don’t like Americans. I never did and never shall like them. I have seldom met an American gentleman in the large and complete sense of the term. I have no wish to eat with them, drink with them, deal with or consort with them in any way; but let tell the whole truth-nor fight with them, were it not for the laurels to be acquired by over coming an enemy so brave, determined and alert, and every way so worthy of one’s steel as they have always proved.
In gunnery and small-arm practice we were as thoroughly weathered on by the Americans as we overtopped them in the bull-dog courage with which our boarders handled those genuine English weapons-the cutlass and the pike. In the field, or grappling in mortal combat on the blood-slippery quarter-deck of an enemy’s vessel, a British soldier or sailor is the bravest of the brave. No soldier or sailor of any country, saving and excepting those damned Yankees, can stand against them.
Great quote. Thanks much
Rah… recently I spent time with an older civil war historian who has a massive library and knows all of the details.
One of the problems of the War of 1812 was domestic iron production. Then after the War of 1812 ended, people who had invested in domestic iron and weapons production went bankrupt as tariffs against England were rolled back.
Historian friend said that the tariffs were a hot issue; agricultural areas (like cotton raising South) benefitted from low tariffs, while industrial areas (mostly Northeastern) benefitted from high tariffs.

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.
