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.””
Samba Pa Ti
A cold front is comin’ to Texas so it’s time to celebrate approaching wintertime. Let’s hope we don’t have a massive pipe-breaking freeze like last year . . . It’s time to think about Christmas lights and, gulp, Christmas presents. When my mom died a number of years ago, I found in her Christmas tree collection the little string Santa that I’d made in 1st grade. She’d kept it all these years. On uncountable Christmases we put that humble little Santa on our trees. The approaching season invites us to think about past Christmases as well as those in the future. Lyle and Kat are having such fun this performance that I think it well worth our seeing it again. Enjoy, Treepers. . . Don’t know about you, but when I finish this glass sippin’ Bourbon I’m gonna’ sleep like a baby tonight.
Kat Edmonson is Perfect!
Lyle is well known for his consummate good taste in choosing people with whom to work. Yep. Kat was a perfect choice (I also like Francine Reed) . I’ve gone to his large band concerts when he’s here in Texas. He always puts on a great show. Usually, with the large band, you’ll get a full two hours.
. . . 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.
The Trisagion Hymn

50th Psalm (Septuagint)
BLEST BE THE TIE THAT BINDS OUR HEARTS IN CHRISTIAN LOVE
LUCY AND HER BABIES Part 4
… We finally caught on and stayed by Lucy to cheer her on. Later that day, we moved her nest to an out of the way corner of the living room, a place she found acceptable.
Lucy was an excellent little mom, and her babies thrived. Several weeks later, it was not hard to find homes for them. When the last one was out the door, Lucy lmmediately lay down on the sofa and took a very long nap.
I had wondered if Lucy would be sad to give her babies away. I shouldn’t have worried. Soon as her nap was done, Lucy was a carefree kitty again, with chirps and purrs for her people and her brother. I didn’t know it at the time, but Lucy and her brother were little bits of God’s grace given to brighten our lives. And God had put a bit of grace into Lucy’s life to help her not long for the babies she had so recently devoted every minute to.
… To be continued
THE TRANSFIGURED LIFE
“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Cor. v. 17
What idea have you of the salvation of your soul? The experience of salvation means that in your actual life things are really altered, you no longer look at things as you used to; your desires are new, old things have lost their power. One of the touchstones of experience is – Has God altered the thing that matters? If you still hanker after the old things, it is absurd to talk about being born from above, you are juggling with yourself. If you are born again, the Spirit of God makes the alteration manifest in your actual life and reasoning, and when the crisis comes you are the most amazed person on earth at the wonderful difference there is in you. There is no possibility of imagining that YOU did it. It is this complete and amazing alteration that is the evidence that you are a saved soul.
What difference has my salvation and sanctification made? For instance, can I stand in the light of 1 Corinthians xiii., or do I have to shuffle? The salvation that is worked out in me by the Holy Ghost emancipates me entirely, and as long as I walk in the light as God is in the light, He sees nothing to censure because His life is working out in every particular, not to my consciousness, but deeper than my consciousness.
Oswald Chambers
November 12th Devotional
At first, the Holy Spirit was new to me and I loved his presence. It was the closest most trusted entity (I say entity because to describe something like this is only for after we are out of these bodies, I simply can’t, it’s more like coming home or being back with family)
First, a hunger for anything of God, Bible, books, teachings, I understand Jesus saying “ I must be about my fathers business” you must.
Over the years I have realized he is always influencing me or there, right there. “Let me help” it’s not “no” it’s more like “there is a better way”.
Mean Pinball Kid, the pinball wizard……

“That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.”

Boom boom boom!
Wait for the end, it’s priceless.
The LA Times yesterday “admitted” that The Vaccine rapidly loses most of its effectiveness. My interpretation is that this will be used as justification for infinity “boosters”. Setting aside the fact that a putative vaccine couldn’t possibly confer immunity to a virus that doesn’t exist, this admission is only the latest in a series of such. In the beginning, in the Before Time, Both Fauci and the Chinese admitted that they didn’t have a virus with physical actuality, only a digital construct. Fauci actually said we don’t need one, inferring that fake, illusory, virtual pandemics are ever so much more manageable than real ones. In any case a real pandemic would have died out long ago. He also confidently predicted that mortality from the “novel” virus would be no worse than seasonal flu, 0.1-0.01 percent, being well aware that COVID IS the flu with a scary new name. Then the CDC in April admitted that 94 percent of all “COVID deaths” had better explanations (old age, cancer, diabetes, death by doctor, etc.) than some innocuous (“mild to moderate cough and fever”) cold virus that no one can seem to find in even a single patient. And the CDC admitted as well, as reported in the NY Slime, that the PCR tests being used produced 90 percent false positives, millions of “asymptomatic” cases, cases of nothing. Since PCR has long been known to be diagnostically worthless, they announced that they will be discontinuing it’s use by the end of this year. So there has been a pattern of the pharma/medical cartel putting the truth right in front of our faces – no virus, no pandemic, just normal seasonal colds/flu, worthless tests, and a non-vaccine that doesn’t work. But by some majick The People have perceived this truth as the exact opposite. Incidentally, they will be replacing the PCR tests with a new “COVID antibody” test, the Serological Assay via Tripartite Nanoluciferase (SATiN) which employs the enzyme Luciferase, allegedly developed at MIT with Gates funding. Luciferase is one of the 11 secret herbs and spices in the non-vaccine. So it would seem we are dealing with a supernatural level of deception being waged by a powerful and implacable Adversary. In the temporal realm we are overmatched. Only the Most High can defeat this deception. So be aware, coalesce into groups of the like-minded, stay vigilant, and pray without ceasing

My Dad’s music……………..still great after all these years.
Did you have one of these in your living room growing up? A prominent piece of furniture in every American home.
First heard rock n roll FM one one of these – Allison Steele Night Bird. Played the Beatles White Album till the grooves worn out. My sister rocked herself out to the Beach Boys.
oh, yeah. sachmo on mine. went everywhere with me in back of two tone big fin desoto. magnavox
I saw them in other houses but ours was built into the wall in our living room. I heard my first Bob Dylan song on it and remember playing Telstar by the Ventures on it.
More than two decades later I took my wife to see the Ventures play at the NCO club at Ft. Devens. I also played my first Beatles album on it and my second.
A bit more on how Grosskreutz is now claiming he lied in court. For reference, here’s what he said in court:
Corey Chirafisi: Now, you’d agree your firearm is pointed at Mr. Rittenhouse. Correct?
Gaige Grosskreutz: Yes.
CC: Okay. And once your firearm is pointed at Mr. Rittenhouse, that’s when he fires his gun. Yes?
GG: No.
CC: Sir, look, I don’t want to – does this look like right now your arm is being shot?
GG: That looks like my bicep being vaporized, yes.
CC: Okay. And it’s being vaporized as you’re pointing your gun directly at him. Yes?
GG: Yes.
CC: Okay. So when you were standing 3-5 feet from him with your arms up in the air, he never fired. Right?
GG: Correct.
CC: It wasn’t until you pointed your gun at him, advanced on him with your gun — now your hands down — pointed at him that he fired. Right?
GG: Correct.
Now compare that testimony with his interview on ABC:
Oh and just for completeness’ sake, here’s the photographic proof that Grosskreutz is lying:
&f=1&nofb=1
Outside a court of law or in Congress, one can say anything.
Gage inserted himself in violence against Kyle. Kyle on the ground choose to defend himself. Deep in the Gages brain stem he’s thankful Kyle only fired once instead of moving his barrel two inches and fired again, while Gage’s pistol was still in his hand.
He’s doing exactly what our entire media and political office holders do – they all lie through their teeth when they’re not under oath or under any penalty of law for being dishonest.
Too many people still think that these people are honest when they say anything on TV or radio or to a newspaper journalist. However if one assumes the opposite, then one will be far closer to the truth the majority of the time.
Your right, but this time, it ain’t gonna work. Too many people watched the trial on TV. This lie, like that about CRT, is only going to hurt every dumb sucker that repeats it as fact or that does not repudiate it when it told.
I await the FEDs trying to get in on the act of persecution when this trail is over and does not produce the results they wanted for their narrative.
Yes this case has reportedly attracted a huge following of people from all political stripes and backgrounds. The prosecution’s perfidy has been on vivid display.
Recent discussions this last week had brought this to my mind, and I thought it would be best to share it.
