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 †

Good Morning ☀️ WP. 🙋♀️
Good morning to you, Cat. Hoping for a calmer day after the storms of yesterday.
Good morning, Betsy. Calmer day here is on my prayer list for today.
Good morning, GrandpaM😊. Yes indeed. Emotionally draining. But what isn’t these days. Thank goodness for this place of rejuvenation and refuge.
It’s a new day, and some very good thoughts on yesterday’s events by Garrison, VibeMan, et all.
Have to do a run to San Antonio This morning so I’ll catch up with y’all later.
Have a blessed day! 🙂
First daughter was born in Methodist Hospital by the UT Health and Sciences Center.
SA has grown so much, I dnt think I’d recognize it.
San Antonio has grown to the North so the old downtown areas are still quite the same. Now the Medical Center is another story.
Good morning, FC.
Good Morning ☀️ grandpa!
Here’s hoping you have an easy relaxing day ❤️
Just got back from San Antonio and relaxing now. Actually, the traffic was light. 🙂
Same here. Enjoyed the magnificent sunset. Would have posted a pic but not quite that tech savvy yet
Nice to put the old dogs up and say ahhhh😉.
Just curious, no need to answer, how’s Dale?
Need to give him a call. Haven’t heard from him since our long talk.
Just finished playing with my Martin and Fender trying not to be too loud since wifey is trying to write. Made me think about Dale. We used to play guitars together and actually about 10 years ago did the worship music for our monthly church gatherings. We did it for a couple of years but got “fired” because we were rocking it too much. LOL! We were told that they would like to give different folks the opportunity to play which was ok with us but we haven’t played since. Got too busy with other things.
We had named our little 2 men band Rocking in Grace 🙂
Just spoke to Dale. He is coming along. Had his grandson for the weekend. They did a lot of things on the ranch that Dale manages and the kid didn’t want to go back but looks like Dale will have him for most of the weekends.
we decided that we’ll attend the Monday nights men’s group so I hope that between both of us we’ll remember. There are even some rumors about us starting to play music again…
Grandpa,
IMO, Rockin in grace is a perfect name to play noisily the praises of the Lord! And the two of you going to Monday’s men group meeting, walking in side by side, perhaps with your instruments slung on your shoulders is a delightful site in my minds eye. Will a Bible fit in your holster? 😉🤭
You started my WEDNESDAY with a mike wide smile. Thanks.
I’m loving it!🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

A brief observation . . . When you listen to this performance you’ll see a clear connection between the blues and religion.
What happened to the first link? Well, why you try to find another one, check out this version!
🙂
Garrison, I’d Rather Go Blind is genius. Absolute classic.
I recently discovered Beth Hart who also has an amazing version, though I won’t post what I think her best version is cause it was at some Kennedy Center event when we had a commie president and the camera’s sometimes pans him and his wife which ruins it for me. Anyway, I’ve posted a couple of Hart’s quieter songs the past few days. Here’s another one that’s so riveting. She is wildly wildly talented. Boggles the mind.
OK. Found a Beth Hart version of I’d Rather Go Blind that, although not as good as the Kennedy Center version, is still pretty gosh darned awesome. Unfortunately, the sound quality is poor cause it’s on someone’s phone, but she’s such a force of nature, it hardly even matters.
Her performances are often so raw and she unfolds the song with so much improvisation it’s almost as if the song just came to her be divine intervention. She is really a vessel for an amazing force of music and human experience. Hard to put into words. But just: WOW!
Guys. I think we got played last night. I went back and read Sundance’s commentary about the Novak Djokovic issue and found it to be honest reporting—very much in keeping what he’s done here for years, in fact. Then I look through the comments section. What I found was comments that were in context with what we would see in any other political comments section of the Treehouse.
So what happened? I think we got played. Frankly that’s entirely fair—you can say what you want on the Treehouse. But, when you do that, keep in mind that there are people here who know what you are doing. Don’t pee on our legs and then tell us it’s raining.
Well, we should file it away for reference. How do some insinuate themselves amongst us so they can attack and smear from the inside?
Really creepy how he was going to sell tickets to the execution of his overlords one minute and then attacking us because we criticized those same overlords the next minute.
And I doubt the play actually took anybody away from the site. We are so tired of faux outrage being used to dominate us. Of our good natures being used to make us marks and patsies.
A difference between Treehouse commenters and those on other sites is the level of astute, critical thinking. We are not manipulated or fooled…or at least not fooled for long. Whatever trolls there may be need to go play in somebody else’s backyard.
There’s nothing for them here.
Good Morning Garrison 🙋♀️😉
Mornin’ Cat!
As I remember the commentary, what I got was the warning to not let 5his happen here. The Australian commenters may have seen the criticisms of those Australians that supported the deportation as personal attacks. I can’t really know. I sometimes forget that even though Australians, British, and Canadians sort off look and talk like us, they are not like us. American exceptionalism is not that we are better. It means we are exceptions to the rest. I forget that.
Every man has within themselves the desire to live free. We define liberty differently than most of the world. To us, liberty may be the ability to live our lives free of any government interference. In many parts of the world, people have accepted the premise that their liberty is expressed by choosing the government under which they will live. Once chosen, there is an obligation to try to do what the government asks. We may see that as a surrender, when it is actually a vast improvement over the way most of the world must live.
We really cannot expect everyone to want to be like us. We think our system is better, but not everyone does. Almost no one in the world thinks like we do. We are the exception. To the rest of the world, we are the strange ones. Again, I forget that.
Maybe I am wrong. Either way, I hope they hang around. The information from behind the scenes is important.
IMO, very astute vibeman.
Good Morning ☀️
I think you are absolutely correct.. our Liberty and Freedom are not how they perceive their’s…
🇺🇸💪😀👍
🙂
Astute observations and, IMHO, accurate.
Someone needs to remind the Supreme Court of this. It appears they’ve forgotten their Constitutional law class 101, with the exception of Alito and Thomas, may God protect them and keep them healthy🙏🙏🙏.
Amen, that is the difference. That is why America is great. Not our gold and silver but our dedication to our Lord.
Too many have either forgotten or never knew our Lord.
The fabric of America was woven with the finest of Gold threads. It is why the satanic left try so desperately to destroy the fabric.
Right on..🇺🇸💪👍😀
I went back and read it as well, Garrison. I found the commentary to be as it always is. Nothing different. Same Sundance…thoughtful, critical, and informative.
All is well👍.
Good synopsis, Garrison. I was somewhat skeptical of the “discussions” in that thread and yet I recognized some of the commenters from “down under”. At first their indignation / claims of being offended seemed artificial. But
I concluded either they misunderstood that the majority of derision was directed at the Aussie Govt or they truly did not understand how serious Americans are about our liberties. Probably a portion of both applied to the emotions they expressed.
I agree that I also favor them staying in the Treehouse and sharing thoughts and information from their vantage point.
Cheers to all this cold Tuesday morning.
Good morning, GB.
I concur. Fraught, terrifying, and unstable times. Our Aussie commenters who show up are their country’s patriots, and by whoever knows what means, they have discovered this site, peopled by American patriots.
We are both of like characters and sentiments, but neither group has a true grip of each others’ day to day existences. The tyranny is real for both but much more advanced in now Stalinist Australia. Praying that that level of despotism is strangled here before its tentacles strangle us all.
There is plenty of room for misunderstanding, and the passions run high on both sides. But at least the free discussion was had, unencumbered by radical censors.
I’m hoping that over the next week or so, as the smoke clears, our Aussie friends will return… where they are always welcomed by us here. We are all of the same mind and heart. It is imperative that our ranks are not split.
Nobody says it better than Betsy 😘
Amen!
👍👍
The piccolo isn’t my favorite instrument or sound, but this Vivaldi concerto is so magical. I remember hearing it decades ago and found it so haunting, bittersweet, beautiful, and sad.
For some reason I kept hearing it in my head today and had to find it. I didn’t remember the number of anything so I just searched around and finally found it! Sharing it here for anyone who might also be captivated by it. To my ear, it’s like a bird in the sky, flying, perhaps free with a breeze under her wing allowing her to soar, or perhaps lost because her babies fell out of the nest, or perhaps something else entirely…….
I actually really like this piccolo sound, it’s a nice change from the music I normally listen to. Have never played one before but this song makes me wish I could learn.
Wonderful music, Sarah. Thanks for posting. 🙂
I don’t remember piccolos being so ‘nails on a blackboard’ eerie. Never gave me shivers in an audience or in the back seats of the Viola section.
I am thinking a resonance in the mic. Though it doesn’t get that clipped sound that comes from the mic’s amplifier getting too strong of a signal. (Think Heavy Metal rock). So I am not sure.
Maybe I just never had one played close to my ear before. Or maybe it is from my speakers?
I also noticed the “peakyness” of some notes. Digital recording and playback on small speakers usually lacks warmth and the correct balance of overtones / harmonics that we hear from a musical instrument (including the human voice) when listening live.
Yes, the entire recording and playback system is vulnerable to sympathetic resonances that unnaturally amplify some frequencies.
Smoothing out the peaky resonances and adjusting the relative gain of narrow bands of frequencies throughout the audible spectrum is the responsibility of the sound engineer during the original recording and final editing / mixing process.
Sarah, absolutely beautiful!
I’m curious, should I play this while forest walking in the spring, what I would be saying in bird language?
Perhaps I should wear a pith helmet lol.

Good morning ☀️ 1530!
IMO Excellent choice for today. And most fitting for the treehouse ❤️
Thank you 😘
FC, you’re always welcome.
Amen, 1530, and good morning!
Good morning to you, GrandpaM.
the tune is St Denio, from Welsh tradition:
ST. DENIO is based on “Can mlynedd i nawr” (“A Hundred Years from Now”), a traditional Welsh ballad popular in the early nineteenth century. It was first published as a hymn tune in John Roberts’s Caniadau y Cyssegr (Hymns of the Sanctuary, 1839). The tune title refers to St. Denis, the patron saint of France.
ST. DENIO is a sturdy tune in rounded bar form (AABA’); its bright character in a major key should put to rest the notion that all Welsh tunes are sad and in minor key. It bears vigorous performance with singing in harmony supported by solid organ tone. The final stanza is a jubilant profession of how God blesses–save the extra reeds and mixtures for it!
John Roberts (b. Tanrhiwfelen, Penllwyn, near Aberystwyth, Wales, 1822; d. Vron, Caernarvon, Wales, 1877) is also known by his Welsh name, Ieuan Gwyllt (Wild John) to distinguish him from many other John Roberts. He began conducting choirs at the age of fourteen and was a schoolteacher at sixteen. Ordained in the (Calvinist) Methodist ministry in 1859, he served congregations in Aberdare and Llanberis. In 1859 he also founded the Welsh singing festival “Gymanfa ganu” and compiled the important Calvinist Methodist hymnal Llyfr Tonau CynulleidfaolPHH 73) hymnal, Swn y Iiwvili (1874).
Thank you, Lonestar💓 for that lovely description. Memories flooding back of the singing and the places you mention. Because the Welsh are singers. Their music festivals are purely joyous. Llangollen, our small town in North Wales, hosts an International Music Festival every year. For one week, singers and choirs from all over the world meet at the local Pavilion, dedicated by Queen Elizabeth. We were all so excited when she came to open it, as one might imagine.
I was unaware that their songs were perceived as sad. I cannot recall one that wasn’t full of robust emotion, no matter what type. But in the main, they are uplifting as befitted the coal miners coming home from a day’s work in the dark and dank mines who nevertheless were joyful in their singing. Of course the male voice choirs are powerful, and the first time I heard one I nearly wept.
One of the most beautiful, soulful songs that I love very much is “Myfanwy”. The recording I treasure has Sir Bryn Terfel singing, with a male voice choir backup. Another is “Guide me, O Thou Great Redeemer” (which we all know of course), or in Welsh “Cwm Rhondda”
Whether one hears the latter in Welsh or English, it is instantly recognizable and very moving.
And as for the name “Roberts”? Along with the surname “Jones”, one can’t imagine the preponderance of it. Seven, at least, phonebook pages of them in almost every area of Wales.
Thank you for your post💓
Good morning, all. Thanks for the comments.
Our hymnbook has four Welsh hymn tunes, I think. My favorite is Bryn Calfaria. It is paired with two hymns: the Ascension hymn Look Ye Saints, the Sight is Glorious and Lord Enthroned in Heavenly Splendor. The tune gives the words the robust emotion you mention.
I believe this tune was sung in the movie How Green Was My Valley.
Marvelous! Thank you, 1530. Suddenly I have a yearning to revisit them all and that is on my things to do today.
A lovely film to watch also is “The Corn is Green”. Bette Davis stars as a spinster academic who inherits some property in coal mining South Wales and turns it into a school when she realizes that the young ones in the village go down in the pits wth no formal education. She discovers one older lad with potential, and it is their relationship which forms the centre of the story.
It is utterly delightful, and as it is befittingly in black and white, one gets the sense of the darkness of the times. I love this wonderful movie and recommend it every chance I get. If you’ve not seen it, I feel you would love it as well.
Thanks, Betsy. I saw the Corn is Green years (and years!) ago; don’t really remember it. I’ll have to look it up. For a long time now, How Green Was My Valley has been a favorite for me.
It was a good one.
I posted this with you in mind, Betsy. glad you enjoyed it.
I saw/heard Bryn Terfel at the Sydney Opera House on my trip to Australia.
Thanks, Lonestar!

MAGAs have turned away from the fed-centric, daily news flush out of dc and have turned their resources and time to their local / state entities.
Virginia is another prime example of what can happen at the state level when patriots take over their state.
The United States Constitution gives just a few powers to the feds, the majority of the powers go to the “we the people” and the states.
The MAGA state motto is “Don’t comply, nullify.”
“Ain’t nothing to it but to do it.”
God Bless President Trump, his family, the USA and the Conservative Treehouse.
If you are MAGA you are on the winning side.
“Let’s go Brandon!”
Blast from the past….
Glad All Over!
Good morning catus!
IMO, now that’s a tune to start a Monday reeeeeal good 😃 oh yeah!
😂😂😂silly me.. got my days mixed up again 😆
It’s Tuesday 😉
Still great way to start a TUESDAY !
Thank you catus ❤️
I know, FC, I’ve been wanting to join a Monday night men’s group at church but missed it again. My days got mixed up, too. 😂
Oh well, I guess a reminder on my phone will do the job.
You’re just saying that to make me feel good about my senior moment 😂
Thanks grandpa 😘

Good morning everyone ☀️
Pardon me if I’m wrong, thought this tune would be appropriate to repeat today, with a special dedication to our Aussie friends 😉
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.
Can someone straighten up my helmet? It got knocked around a little yesterday 😂

Good Morning Leenie 🙋♀️
Morning!!!!!! 👋
Bora da, Leenie!! Welsh…😉
Buenos tardy!! (Trying to be funny…I guess if you have to explain that you’re trying to be funny, you know you are not.) 🤭
How true!😂 It’s why I’m no good at sarcasm, at least in comments…or telling jokes. My husband is a brilliant joke teller because he has a good memory and can do all the accents to go with them to perfection. I leave it to him.
Buenos tacos, Leenie! Since my retirement my Spanish is lagging 🙂
Oh, my God!!!! Buenos nachos, Grandpa! 🎶 hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don’t
upset us…”🎶
We’re in silly hour!!!
We sure are! LOL!
The phone green, I pink it up, and I say yellow.
See what you started??? 😂. I’m putting on my serious face now.
If I am not mistaken, I read where Ashley Babbit’s body was cremated by the government two days after her autopsy without her family’s consent. If this is true, isn’t this a form of obstruction of justice? Does the family not have the right to an independent autopsy?
If the foul government was involved (which it was), apparently not. An absolute tragedy.
More appalling, if true, is he report on Epoch Times (cited and posted here by a couple of people) is new video that shows Ashli. Shouting at people trying to break the glass on the doors to stop!!!!!
via his twitter feed:
dexter passed.
8 years old.
lymphosarc with mets to all the vitals.
unfortunately, far too common in golden retrievers.
my sincerest condolences to the family.
Thank you so much for posting this zoom. So sad.
Lord, have mercy on Dexter’s human companions.
Oh dear…a day of sorrow. And for us who have lost those beloved members of our family, our hearts break into a million pieces. I am so so sorry.
I’ve always thought through my tears on such a loss that at least for as long as they were with us on this earth, they had the best kitty and doggie lives and were very much loved.
And that was comforting for me to the extent there was any comfort. He’s pain free now. God be with his people who loved him🙏.
Amen 🙏
Sorry to hear that, zoom. And yes, the Goldens are the number 1 breed for lymphoma/lymphosarcoma. There was a study a few years ago in Golden Retrievers which showed that the early neutering increased the occurrence of LS by quite a big margin. It was quite a difference statistically.
Prayers for comfort for Dexter’s owners.
you are correct, sir.
but that’s a fairly esoteric piece of information.
may i ask how you came across it?😊
It will reveal too much info to unwelcome eyes… May be one day in a private conversation I’d be happy to explain. 🙂
I wish we had the feature of private messaging but may be that comes at the expense of security.
no worries.

take care!

I sometimes wonder if the “BCCI Affair” from the 1980s still affects today’s political issues.
https://irp.fas.org/congress/1992_rpt/bcci/
Many of the geopolitical and economic issues found in today’s media “rhyme” with names/places of prominence in the BCCI Affair.
( i hope this works…)
This article in American Thinker this morning was about girls competitive swimming. (Don’t yawn just yet!). The second part of the article she outlines some suggestion for making it “fair” for a transgender women to compete with other women. (Now, it may be the time of day or a warped sense of humor, but I found it funny and thought some of you might as well…)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/01/boys_swimming_against_girls_is_just_not_fair.html
Well basically, to make it fair, the transgender women would have to swim as slowly as the natural born women …
I thought she had a brilliant plan for making that happen!!! 🤭
Check out the article!
Leenie, I already had a similar solution even before reading the article. Mine was instead of strap-on breasts, implant them with a pair of 4 Ds.
On a very serious note….this entire topic reeks of coercion. Everyone’s hands have been effectively tied. Protest the evident unfairness of men, competing as women in the high school, college and above competitions and you are branded a “transphobic.” Refuse to participate in these competitions be it swimming, track, or anything else and not only do you get to be labeled a “transphobic,” but you lose your scholarship, your shot at a scholarship, your shot at an Olympic chance.
While I found this author’s remedies funny, there is really nothing funny about it,
Title IX is now a joke.
One is left with the only evident conclusion: (sad to say). Women are under the bus. Higher in the order of “political correctness” are transgender women.
Oh, feminists! What have you accomplished in the goal of promoting women’s rights? This very issue demonstrates that you are and have always been a sham. Because, when push came to shove, you chose the men.
be gentle with responses …or NOT!!!!
I am with you, Leenie.
You are so bad!! 😂

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. And Lord please help the political prisoners. Especially Julian Assange; Pastor Pawlowski; and all the victims of the Jan 6 setup
