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 †

“May God grant us the same level of commitment to the gospel and it’s propagation as that of Paul.”
This just became my prayer for today.
I fall woefully short.
I have great joy knowing Him. His attributes. His creative wonders. His infinite mercies.
I have sorrow in my slow process of growing in grace.
Good post. ?
Yours as well. I can relate
This is what I have learned: the source of condemnation is self-righteousness, therefore we must proclaim we have no righteous of our own but only the Righteousness that comes from faith in the Blood of Jesus Christ and His all sufficient blood atoning sacrifice on the Cross. That is when you can come boldly into the throne of Grace to receive mercy and find grace to help in a time of need. Yes and amen in Christ Jesus. Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

It was a white puddy tat that almost lost it’s 9th life to me last night. US 35 north going home hauling an empty trailer after a week on the road. Had a roller skate (flat bed) riding on my butt as I came into a little berg with a 30 mph speed limit. Caught a streak of white out of the corner of my left eye. It was a white long hair kind of loping along and it it didn’t stop. Jammed my brakes and the cat made it. I didn’t get rear ended either. No way I was going to hit some family pet if I could help it without wrecking and obviously the steering wheel holder behind me didn’t learn a thing because as soon as he caught up to me after being brake checked he was right up my butt again. I was glad when I took a left at US 36 and he continued north on US 35.
It was not a bad week but that is the best I can say for it. On the upside I learned I got a $100.00 a week raise effective the last week of October.
Glad you and the cat are safe. Congrats on the raise. Tailgaters really are the worst. Why do they do it?
Just aggressive wanting to try and force me to go faster? Or perhaps short on his duty clock trying to get home. Who knows? But what ever the reason it just isn’t worth it! In my POV I have tried an experiment. I can identify those that make a habit of tail gating pretty easily. As they start to close in I up the speed and continue to do so. Doesn’t matter how fast one goes, they are bound and determined to get on the bumper of the vehicle in front of them even it is going 30 mph over the speed limit!
Our neighbor’s daughter tossed hot peppers in our daughter’s eyes when they were 5 or 6yo. We had to rush her to hospital across town. (Potential cornea burn)
We ticked a fat SUV off somehow (I was dealing with my baby crying, didn’t see) and he slowed to 5mph under speed limit for several miles.
Couldn’t pass, couldn’t turn off. We don’t always know why people are bad drivers. Sometimes it’s a very very bad day.
Be safe. Kitty and kitty’s family thank you.
God bless you Rah! Sure you deserve the raise for the work you do. You strike me as what I like to call a conscientious worker. A conscientious worker is someone who takes the job seriously and works to -earn- their paycheck. Someone who can be counted on to show up every day and contribute to the the job.
Thumbs up for your insights and updates on trucking.
Keep on Trucking!
I do the best I can. There are some better and a lot others worse. Thank you.
You need to run for office like your fellow truck driving giant slayer out in Jersey. ?.
I enjoy your posts. Glad you’re a Treeper ?.
Thank you.
Pets are like people, part of our families.
I think many people tailgate for the same reason that so many blindly took the vaccine. They desperately need someone to follow.
I show people how fast they need to be going every work day on the road. Nothing like a big truck in the left mirror to get a driver situationally aware and hit the big peddle. That is fine with me as long as they don’t decide to match my speed if I get beside them and hang me out in the left lane.
article “Shortage of Truck Drivers…” on front page of yesterday’s wall st journal made me think of you, rah.
you guys are the best. 70% of what is moved done by you all. thank you

I married a redhead. Best decision I ever made.
Just sayin’. ?
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.””
Monkeys can learn to use money.
Capuchins that were taught to exchange silver discs for treats began budgeting for foods they liked, buying more of something when the price dropped, and started gambling.
Eventually, rich monkey even figured out they could pay each other for sex.
The experiment also had a “bank robbery” near the end.
One monkey tried to burn the whole system down.
OMG. ?
Where’d you come up with that? ?
You’re killin’ me!

In a related note that I will take the liberty to place under Garrison Hall, Leon Russell, AKA Hank Wilson, has passed on. “Singing This Song For You” resonated for me during my courtship days as one of many songs of personal influence.
May he RIP.
Yes, RIP Leon.

PSALM 23
The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul:
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
For thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
I would love to see this quartet live.
Lovely…just lovely. One man. I’ve saved it.

Where are you Dutchess01?
Dutchess can usually be found over at the qtree. She was once a daily poster here, but last I checked she did her daily blessings there. I miss her early morning posts here, but know she is well. I miss Deplorable Infidel too and not sure what to make of his absense. Pray for all those who come and go amongst the trees.

NATIONAL JERSEY FRIDAY
On the first Friday in November, express your fandom for your favorite professional players on National Jersey Friday by wearing your team’s jersey!
Not anymore for the NFL. They ruined it for me.
NATIONAL DONUT DAY
National Donut Day (also known as National Doughnut Day) on November 5th
History disputes the origin of the donut. One theory suggests Dutch settlers brought donuts to North America much like they brought other traditional American desserts. They receive credit for such desserts as the apple pie, cream pie and cobbler.
Donut shapes are as varied as their history. Was the original donut round? If so, American Hanson Gregory laid claim to inventing the ring-shaped donut in 1847 while working onboard a lime-trading ship. Only 16 at the time, Gregory claims he punched a hole in the center of dough with the ship’s tin pepper box. Later, he taught the technique to his mother.
?crop=1.00xw:0.878xh;0,0.119xh&resize=900:*
When I was working the midnight shift in my rural town, one of the few places open around mealtime was the local donut shop. That day’s donuts were just coming out of the fryer piping hot and were dipped in the sugar glaze that was not yet crystalized. Until you have had fresh donuts like this, you have not had donuts.
I can remember making donuts at home, with my Mom. I couldn’t have been any older than 5, but it was FUN helping her when my older siblings were at school, so I never forgot doing it.
Now I plan to do it with MY granddaughter before she gets “Too Old” to do that kinda corny stuff with me.
Maybe, someday, she will do those kind of things with HER daughters or granddaughters, too!
RIP PETE, TOM, & BROTHER MIKE

PARTAKERS OF HIS SUFFERINGS
“Rejoice inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings.” 1 Peter iv. 13
If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a multitude of experiences that are not meant for you at all, they are meant to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what transpires in other souls so that you will never be surprised at what you come across. Oh, I can’t deal with that person. Why not? God gave you ample opportunity to soak before Him on that line, and you barged off because it seemed stupid to spend time in that way.
The sufferings of Christ are not those of ordinary men. He suffered “according to the will of God,” not from the point of view we suffer from as individuals. It is only when we are related to Jesus Christ that we can understand what God is after in His dealings with us. It is part of Christian culture to know what God’s aim is. In the history of the Christian Church the tendency has been to evade being identified with the sufferings of Jesus Christ; men have sought to procure the carrying out of God’s order by a short cut of their own. God’s way is always the way of suffering, the way of the “long, long trail.”
Are we partakers of Christ’s sufferings? Are we prepared for God to stamp our personal ambitions right out? Are we prepared for God to destroy by transfiguration our individual determinations? It will not mean that we know exactly why God is taking us that way, that would make us spiritual prigs. We never realize at the time what God is putting us through; we go through it more or less misunderstandingly; then we come to a luminous place, and say – “Why, God has girded me, though I did not know it!”

Good Morning Treepers!
Apparently Emerald Robinson struck a nerve with her tweet about the ingredient in the mRNA jab called luciferase. Awesome write up by her with good info but twatter took it down. Lots of liberal rags coming for her now. Please read it before it is swiped from memory. I read it at CFP earlier. May God Bless you all and have a Wonderful Friday, on PURPOSE!

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.
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Your Name.” (Billy Graham Ministries)

Some buzz about fluorescent markers in the vaccines?
What is Luciferase?
How a firefly enzyme that glows might herald the end of the world
https://emeralddb3.substack.com/p/what-is-luciferase
You’d have to prove it is in there.
Assuming it was, could this be the marker Sundance was asking about in relation to novel blood test to detect if someone was vaccinated?
This substance glows under certain conditions. Could and create false positives in a PCR test? PCR test use light to detect the presence of whatever it is looking for.
There were some weird video circulating showing peoples veins glowing, after being vaccinated. I don’t know if that’s real or just some attention stunt, but more than one was published.
I wonder if anyone held each type of vaccine vial under an ultraviolet light to see what happens?
Good morning, 🙂
I thought this was an interesting list of *Recommended* Vaccines over the last 40 years.. The list more than doubled into present times (didn’t bother to post all).. I fall into the 1940 category and only had the combo DTP.. I am certain there was NO mask or vaccine *mandates* or lockdowns through out my school years (even with the Polio scare circa 1950s) and beyond…
Late 1940s | Recommended Vaccines

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.

Truckers Report:
Did the same run all week.
Monday at 11:00 got the call. Bobtail to the Vandalia, OH terminal and hook to the trailer there loaded with racks for Toyota parts and then on Tuesday I would do 4 stops and bring Toyota parts back the Vandalia. Of course the paperwork they gave me at Vandalia was out of date and at one stop I had to get them to e-mail the proper check sheets before they would load me.
First stop MAGNA Mirrors in Newaygo, MI. I drove up to that facility after hooking the trailer at Vandalia and found it in the dark despite my GPS being off on the address by a block. There I found I could park overnight to take my break before pulling into the dock at 09:00 the next morning. Had plenty of time to get there and had 12 hours before my appointment time.
Second stop CWC Textron Muskegon, MI. This facility does things a little differently. Every truck going in or out has to be scaled. One pulls up on the scale, goes in masked, signs in on a tablet providing more information than most places require, then goes down and backs into door #3. They make you put your keys and paperwork in a mailbox that passes through the wall into shipping office. They provide a plywood shack with table and chairs and an electric heater for the driver to sit in while being unloaded and loaded and to signs the paperwork.
The first day I was too full of product and dunnage for them to put anything on and so had to call back to Vandalia dispatch to tell them they would have to arrange for an expeditor to pickup the load or allow me to go to the other stops and then come back to pickup. I had a lot of racks and totes that went to the last two stops on the trailer is why they did not have the room to put their stuff on. Dispatch determined there would be too much freight in the trailer to pickup all the 2nd stop had so called an Expeditor.
Third stop Port City Group in Muskegon. They took off a lot of the dunnage and only put one palate on so I gained a lot of room in the trailer.
Forth stop Donnelly Holland in Holland, MI. Big facility I have been to before and thus know the set of docks I am to go to and the routine once backed in. I was full once they pulled off all their dunnage and reloaded me. This is the stop that required I have checksheets and I had to call and have them e-mailed to them. This is another instance where having the stamps for those forms paid off because there were about 10 of them and the guy was waiting for me and stamping the information is over twice as fast and filling them out by hand.
Then it was back to the Vandalia terminal where one drops the trailer in slots 1-30 and goes and parks out on the curb along Capstone way because though this is the companies largest cross dock they simply do not have room for parking for drivers not assigned there.
After taking my 10 hour break it was off again to do the same run again. This time I made sure the paperwork was right before I left and everything went smoothly except when I got to the last stop at Donnelly, I did not have room for all of their freight and once again had to call back to tell them to get and expeditor to pick it up.
After I delivered the trailer the Vandalia and hooked to an empty and hit the road for home and that is when I had my encounter with fluffy and the tailgater.
I got a text from Randy telling me he was doing that run this week and I called him and gave him the lowdown on all the stops though he has been to all but the first one at Newaygo before.
