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.””
“When my spirit grows faint within me, You know my way”. Psalm 142-3

Awwww
If you start addin’ up what counts Tanya Tucker fits right in . . . Not too many people can sing heartbreak like Tanya.
The tour bus parked near the house trailer says it all . . .
Thanks, Garrison.. a nice trio of songs… but it did strike me that the last one (Texas when I die) did seem to have borrowed fairly heavily from Buck Owens song.. They”re going to put me in the movies
Thank you for the songs from Tanya Tucker, brings back memories.
Major crush on TT in my youth……….Good tribute song to Texas; but IMO the unoffical state song, played at closing time of many honky tonks, is:
Thank you Congressman. Tell it like it is to all those who embrace the climate change scam.
Worth a listen
Cjzak, thanks for posting this video.
Congressman Donalds is a breath of fresh air in the sea of insanity out there.
Boom!
Rep. Donalds (paraphrased): “If you don’t get energy from us [referring to U.S. natural gas-powered electrical generation, which the DemoCommunist green idiots are trying to curtail], you’ll get it from China and Russia [who primarily use coal to generate electricity] And they don’t care about climate activists …”
TE DEUM – WE PRAISE YOU, O GOD
A hymn confessing faith in Christ. The text goes back to the fourth century AD.
We praise You O God; we acknowledge You to be the Lord.
All the earth now worships You, the Father everlasting.
To You all angels cry aloud, the heavens and all the powers therein.
To You cherubim and seraphim continually do cry:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of Your glory.
The glorious company of the apostles praise You.
The goodly fellowship of the prophets praise You.
The noble army of martyrs praise You.
The holy Church throughout all the world does acknowledge You.:
The Father of an infinite majesty; Your adorable, true, and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.
You are the King of glory, O Christ;
You are the everlasting Son of the Father.
When You took upon Yourself to deliver man,
You humbled Yourself to be born of a virgin.
When You had overcome the sharpness of death,
You opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You sit at the right hand of God
In the glory of the Father.
We believe that You will come
To be our judge.
We therefore pray You to help Your servants,
Whom You have redeemed with Your precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with Your saints
In glory everlasting.
O Lord, save Your people and bless your heritage.
Govern them and lift them up forever.
Day by day we magnify You.
And we worship Your name forever and ever.
Grant, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let your mercy be upon us, as our trust is in You.
O Lord, in You have I trusted; Let me never be confounded.
They just changed the rules, moved the goalposts, and altered another definition:
From the Washington (com)Post:
___________________
You’re not ‘fully vaccinated.’ You never will be.
All of this boils down to, essentially, an ongoing attempt to define “fully vaccinated.” Who is “fully vaccinated” against covid-19, and for how long? The honest answer is that the target is moving before our eyes.
Until 2021, “fully vaccinated” was not a standard phrase, any more than “fully married” or “fully graduated from college.” Typically a person is considered “vaccinated” or “unvaccinated.”

NATIONAL DEVILED EGG DAY
National Deviled Egg Day features a favorite hors-d’oeuvre or side dish for parties, holidays, family reunions and potluck dinners. Deviled eggs shine as the star of the show each year on November 2nd.
The first known print reference referring to the term “deviled” about food, appeared in 1786. By the 19th century, devilish referred to spicy or zesty food. The term also applied to eggs prepared with mustard, pepper, or other ingredients stuffed in the yolk cavity.
My wife makes the best according to everyone in my family. The key is the bite obtained by the right proportion of yellow mustard and vinegar. No measurements, done by taste.
We’ll take two dozen to the family get together at Thanksgiving and bring zero home.
At the Baptist church potlucks we call them dressed eggs. We don’t do deviled anything. At least not in public or on purpose.
NATIONAL OHIO DAY
On November 2, National Ohio Day recognizes the 17th state to join the United States known as the Buckeye State, the Mother of Modern Presidents, and the first state to enter the country from the Northwest Territory.
Elaborate and pre-historic remains of a civilization who created mounds can still be found in parts of Ohio. By the time Europeans began to arrive on the continent, Ohio was primarily populated by Kickapoo, Erie and Shawnee.
This Great Lakes State’s northern border includes 312 miles of Lake Erie shoreline. For Ohioans, that’s both an economic and recreational boon. It’s also a natural resource. As the 12th largest lake in the world, the consumable food and water it provides are invaluable.
2 November 1963
The Beach Boys‘ “Be True To Your School” is released. The record, which includes the University of Wisconsin fight song, will peak at #6 in the US.
2 November 1968
Appearing at Madison Square Garden on their farewell tour of the US, Atco Records presents Cream with a Platinum disc for $2 million worth of sales of the double album “Wheels of Fire”.
2 November 1974
Bad Company‘s first Billboard chart entry, “Can’t Get Enough” tops out at #5. The British quartet would go on to place eight more songs in the US Top 40, but only one, “Feel Like Makin’ Love”, would crack the Top 10.
I wonder what these by now “good ole boys” think about the Five Finger Death Punch rendition of possibly their (and my) most memorable track – “Bad Company” – More important today though, I would imagine, is how the brave, perhaps some of them no longer with us, soldiers who were there, feel about what went down in Afghanistan – memories that will last forever. “We” appeared so invincible……………and we STILL are.
Thanks for that. I never realized the Wisconsin connection in “Be True to your School” before. And that’s after having been in the UW Marching Band and probably played “On Wis” a few thousand times. (Heck, I’m sure I could pick up my bone now and play my part from memory, if my chops could hold out.)
So the NHC decides that the Nor’easter that hit Along the NE coast then wondered off into the central Atlantic is a Tropical Storm and names it Wanda. Never mind that it did not form in the tropics and is well north of the tropical band.
Pure desperation in my view. They so want to be able to hype the number of named storms because this years hurricane season has offered little else for them to point to as being exceptional.
Good point Rah.
Propaganda is an amazing thing.
Sort of like how “vaccine” means what they say it does. But for folks outside of New Orleans, 2021 will not be forgotten.
AUTHORITY AND INDEPENDENCE
“If ye love Me, ye will keep My commandments.” John xiv. 15. R.V.
Our Lord never insists upon obedience; He tells us very emphatically what we ought to do, but He never takes means to make us do it. We have to obey Him out of a oneness of spirit. That is why whenever Our Lord talked about discipleship, He prefaced it with an IF – you do not need to unless you like. “IF any man will be My disciple, let him deny himself,” let him give up his right to himself to Me. Our Lord is not talking of eternal positions, but of being of value to Himself in this order of things, that is why He sounds so stern (cfr. Luke xiv. 26). Never interpret these words apart from the One Who uttered them.
The Lord does not give me rules, He makes His standard very clear, and if my relationship to Him is that of love, I will do what He says without any hesitation. If I hesitate, it is because I love someone else in competition with Him, viz., myself. Jesus Christ will not help me to obey Him, I must obey Him; and when I do obey Him, I fulfil my spiritual destiny. My personal life may be crowded with small petty incidents, altogether unnoticeable and mean; but if I obey Jesus Christ in the haphazard circumstances, they become pinholes through which I see the face of God, and when I stand face to face with God I will discover that through my obedience thousands were blessed. When once God’s Redemption comes to the point of obedience in a human soul, it always creates. If I obey Jesus Christ, the Redemption of God will rush through me to other lives, because behind the deed of obedience is the Reality of Almighty God.
Oswald Chambers
November 2nd Devotional
For All Souls’ Day, a Requiem from (perhaps) an unexpected source: operetta composer Franz Von Suppe’: some of the finest music you will ever hear.
Johannes Brahms was himself an admirer of Suppe’s religious works: the Tuba Mirum part of the Dies Irae is especially not to be missed! It is one of the most enigmatic and beautiful pieces ever composed.
For only the Tuba Mirum: easily worth 7 minutes of your time!
. . . 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.

Psalm 51 (KJV – Masoretic)

Good Afternoon Treepers!
Just got home from voting here in SW PA. Nobody was in line waiting. Nobody asked me for my I.D. I offered it anyway and when the following woman got her ballot she didn’t give her I.D. I asked why they didn’t check her I.D. and the nice old lady told me they were not allowed to ask for it. I asked her who said you can’t ask for it and she said Gov. Wolf!!!! WTH! After the fiasco that was 2020 what the heck are we supposed to do to stop this madness? We have the illegals everywhere and now refugees are coming from all over and no I.D. required?
Sorry, I just had to vent. May God richly Bless You All! Have the Most Wonderful Day Ever on PURPOSE!
A month or so ago, there was a discussion about buying new windows in an open thread. Does anyone remember the recommended windows? Or the thread? We need to replace quite a few and this will be a big expense for us. Looking for recommendations. Thanks.

Thanks so much!
Looking forward to the seasonal recipe thread!
This might not be exactly applicable to what your situation is, but for owners of historic buildings it might be helpful.
Original wood windows can be restored and good storm windows can be used.
I have seen many buildings with original windows restored and improved with insulating materials.

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.
