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 †

Sweet little tabby cat, can you find that blue piece that should fit in that upper left hand corner? The space is sticking out like a sore thumb and we really need to find that piece. I know you can do it. And since blue is your favorite color, I think you’ll spot it in no time.
Help solve the puzzle, or help make a mess … that is the question. 🙂
Haha! Ain’t that the truth!
Kitty doesn’t want to solve the puzzle or make a mess of it. It is resting in preparation to pushing all the little pieces over the edge of the table.
Where they will all fall into place as a completed puzzle thus proving, once again, the absolute genius of cats!
Astor Pizzolla was an Argentine musician who single handedly created a new form of tango music by blending modern jazz influenced motifs into traditional tango idioms. The result was called “tangeo nuebo” and became internationally famous. But traditionalists hated what he’d done and, reportedly, there were threats on his life. Fortunately, traditional tango survived and floujrished . . . but so did Pizzollas nuevo tango compositions.
For awhile Pizzolla earned a living composing music for Argentine detective movies. In this music you can sense the tension and danger of stories centered on the docks of Buenos Aires . . . Piazzolla’s chozen instrument was the bandoneon, an accordion-like instrument with a distinctive sound. Classical guitarists, however, were immediately attracted to Piazzolla’s music and so numerous guitar transcriptions were produced. Here are three particularly good ones . . .
One more . . .

Sorry, guys. For some reason the software wouldn’t let me transfer an image of Piazzolla’s performance. Don’t know why this happens. Still if you click on the above link Youtube will play the performance. Sometimes good intentions get defeated by technological realities.
I tried it as well and it didn’t show the image. Technology eludes me! But it’s easy enough to copy and paste.
Garrison….I tried posting it here and got nothing as well. So, I tried posting it on my private site, and I got this…
Apparently it’s only viewable on YouTube. Whatevah…..
Whoa. That quintet was awesome. The music itself was very intricate but full of emotion.
Thanks for bringing it to CTH this morning.
This genre of music is such a mystery to me. While I find music to be a universal language, this really seems like actual language because I get the feeling something is being said and I can’t understand it. Maybe because of how the melody and rhythms almost seem like they arrive in sentence-like structure. Dunno, but it’s very intriguing.
And that story about the composer is downright crazy!
I totally agree!! Tango itself is a very emotionally expressive art form both in music and dance. Being married to a woman of direct Spanish descent, I was quickly “schooled” in both flamenco and tango. My 4′-10″ tall mother-in-law, whose parents immigrated here from Spain (actually so did my father-in-law’s parents), was an impressive dancer and pianist.
A little more background on the artform………..
https://www.heritageinstitute.com/danceinfo/descriptions/nuevo_tango.htm
How wonderful!! I’ve always considered the tango to be a very sensuous dance. The dancer I always felt must feel an intensity so deep, it would be hard for nonmusical people to understand it.
You are again spot on Betsy.
Here is a very good explanation of the feelings expressed though the tango dance:
https://www.tangonorthside.com/single-post/2019/04/23/the-feelings-of-tango-from-a-lead-s-perspective
It’s a funny thing, GB… just reading his explanation, I can feel exactly what he means. First the feelings, then through dance, the body interprets. A language that needs no translator. It really is the language of humanity, isn’t it? Thank you for that link💓.
Where’s Rah?
Down below!!! A.bunch of times😊
Wow, that is so interesting. I love flamenco dance and music even while finding it all completely mysterious, but perhaps that’s part of the draw. Thanks for sharing that link it is packed with information I will devour! Meanwhile, have you seen this little dynamo?! She is simply amazing! Raw talent!
Please look up HUAPANGO, composed by Jose Pablo Moncayo.
There is a stellar and rousing performance of it at the Proms, the two month musical festival which takes place every year in London at the Albert Hall. Concerts every night from the middle of July through the middle of September, culminating in the wonderful Last Night of the Proms.
Also available is a performance with Domingo conducting. A real joyous piece. That’s the adjective that describes it best. I thought of it as you posted Pizzola this morning.
Good idea, Betsy. I’ll put Hupango up tonight. 🙂
WONDERFUL!!!! Thank you, G. It really is a marvelous happy, beautiful piece.💓
Also, Garrison, for your entertainment, on the Last Night of the Proms, the final piece performed ends with RULE BRITANNIA.
There is always a singer of note who performs at every Last Night, and everyone looks forward to seeing what that operatic star does with Rule Britannia.
Laughter, applause, flag waving, cheering …and of course the massive patriotic audience all join in on the reprises. It really is a most wonderful evening.
I think if you search, you’ll find so many wonderful clips of Rule Britannia at the Last Night of the Proms. I do believe they will make you smile, as they do me. Simply exhilarating! 💓
Amen Dubuyuh P!
It is close to the Holman Christian Standard Bible, but not exact. It reads like a direct translation from the Greek by the author.
Bible gateway has an interesting feature for a single verse. If you search a single verse, you can then click a link to see all of the English translations of that verse.
This first verse above is here:
https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/2%20Peter%202:4
Amen, W_P, and thank you!
It’s close to the Berean Literal Bible…. but I have not seen “Tartarized” used in any Bible I could find online.
https://biblehub.com/blb/2_peter/2.htm
The Greek is tartarus. For examples see the NAB (1971), the New Greek-English Interlinear New Testament (Tyndale 2020), others.
Strictly means to “hurl into Tartarus.”
There is no exact English equivalent.
Oh yes, WP, I was aware of that – the Greek’s darkest deep pit / underworld, worse than (below) Hades, where the worst, most evil people were sent….
Don’t know which translation was used, however it is literal and correct.
For all to enjoy, with a special nod to Garrison for posting the beautiful works that Newman has composed for films. Here’s another composer who wrote for films. It’s a piece that, much like what Garrison posted yesterday, is incredibly expansive and feels like either you’re moving through beautiful images or else you’re still and beautiful images are moving past you or something is indistinguishable as to whether it’s breathtaking nature in the world that is seen or something deep within. At least that’s some of what comes up for me. Hope all enjoy…
John Barry. Give me a Smile.
“Expansive” is the right word for his music, Sarah. Thanks for posting this. 🙂
You know all those Canadian Convoy videos where the truckers drive by, or are parked, blowing their horns? And the historic importance of this moment in time, not just for Canada but for the world?
And remember all those reports of people hearing mysterious “sky trumpets” in Canada years ago? Like in 2012? The first is from Terrace, British Colombia in 2013. Two of the videos below are from Alberta, Canada in 2012 (Conklin and Banff), the third is from Ontario in 2018.
Take a listen … don’t the “sky trumpets” sound eerily similar to the Canadian convoy trucker horns? Who knows … maybe those convoy horns have been echoing back and forth through space and time, like a premonition or a prophecy … Kinda makes you wonder.
We can in any case take it as a sign to pray for Canada, especially now.
There was also one from Quebec in 2016 that I didn’t post the video for because it contained some rough language but you can probably find it if you look for it.
Eerie. I’ve never seen or heard of these before. Creepy. Sad. Mournful yet angry moments.. I don’t know what to make of these.
Same here. I’d never heard about this but after listening to what the phoenix posted the sound is quite eerily similar… not quite fog horn, and darned if it doesn’t often sound like the trucker’s horns… Very odd…
Goodaye Sarah, I have lived bush without human contact for months at a time, I have seen and heard much that I cannot explain, imagination does tend to run wild in these circumstances I would be first to admit.
There is much to this phenomena that most do not understand.
I was taught “Dreamtime”
by Australian Aboriginal Elders and their perception on this subject I have found to be the best.
I can explain more if you like.
Feral here scratches me sometimes, and doesn’t like my fleas, but I do surround her forest with barkers eggs to protect her!
Hello, hahahaha, huh, yes Dreamtime, and what???!!!
I have posted on this site three times now about “Dreamtime” , I can again, just not now, I put my mind to finishing Granny’s Solace for tonight, hope you understand.
I actually know a bit about Dreamtime (probably from waaaaaaay back in the day when I was a hippie). But the rest was a mystery. You must explain forest barkers!
I’m sure Feral cat will fill you in 😂 !
Psychedelics are a little offtopic here but definitely do fit the “Dreamtime” analogy. 😜
Upon reading the stories, I see the analogy between psychedelics fitting in Dreamtime. Good thing for you it does, one could think you’re calling me a crazy cat at first glance. HSSSS 😜
Is not every natural growth on our planet a gift from the creator .
Rrr=rrrrrr, woof, rrrr, 😊
I liked the crazy cat cartoons, was he your tomdad, 😎 seems Feral has mungrel closet family!
It’s ok , you can come out !
Here, kitty, kitty, kitty 😁
FYI. Feral does not respond nice to kitty calls. Might draw blood on the first swipe. They’re for the domestic ones, the ones who depend on humans for everything. I find them a bore. No taste for the treasures in the open world
And I just had my claws done, don’t want me to break a claw do you? Kinda necessary for critter defense don’t ya think? 😉
Many scares I hold of feline encounters !
Most with full fang Mungrel hound pride 😛
You are sooo funny!!!!!!!
Hi mungrel!
“Dreamtime” perception by the aboriginal elders is beautiful! I started with this one:
The serpent:
https://worldstories.org.uk/reader/the-rainbow-serpent/english/253
Thank you for something to do while we are waiting for your epilogue ❤️
Curious which group of elders were your teachers? You don’t have to answer if it’s personal.
“Keep your eyes on the sun and you will not see the shadows”
Sorta describes current events perfectly 😉
Garinji.
Feral most impressed with the garinji. Past as well as present time. You’ve been extremely well lessoned. Between garinji AND Granny you are a most formidable mungrel. Truly a pedigree above all other pedigrees. ❤️
The writing of the botanist Joseph Banks on the Captain Cook ship called the Endever upon entering Sydney Cove are the best white fella words of description regarding “Dreamtime”.
In essence he described how only a few hundred meters of shore the ship took anchor, the natives or Aboriginal’s on shore went about their daily business without flinching, woman weaving, men fishing, children playing, ect,ect.
Fact is they never saw the ship as life is a dream and the illusion is only created.
They lived in the dreamtime.
Hope this helps.
I like this thinking ❤️
Thanks, it does and it will assist in my lessons
Tell us more, please.
Havn’t got time at the moment but will later.
Hi!! I’ve been waiting for you to show up!!! Ever drive a big rig? 😇
Morning, Leenie. I believe he did at one time.😊
Hi Leenie, good to see you again!
Hi grandpa! I’ve been getting into trouble with my big mouth on the other thread. Came here for some respite!!!!
We are a lot more relaxed bunch here. 🙂
I know!!! 🥰
Howdy Leenie, I personally love your style,
I should come over the other side sometimes and join the fray !
I know exactly what your talking about.
Outside of computer world you are what I call ‘my kind of people’ 😜
Mungrel, at 5 feet tall, 102 pounds, (I’m a Teenie Leenie!) I don’t have the physical clout to push people around. But I have gotten into tons of trouble with my words!!! Believe it not, I’ve mellowed with age… 😇
In Aussie venacula you would be called a ” pocket rocket” 😜
You came to my defense a few weeks ago, you thought about my point instead of jumping to conclusions or jumping on the bandwagon like nearly every poster did.
I was ultimately proven correct and as a result so we’re you.
Yes I get into trouble too, not as much as I used to of course.
If you want to gang up on a troll or two give me a yell and we’ll have a bit of fun !
“Pocket Rocket!: I love it!!!!
I’ve surmised that you and I are about the same age, although, you have been around the block a couple of more times than I!!! (You run in “faster crowds!”)
But one thing we are lucky to have in common is some degree of wisdom…and discernment.
Many people here in the treehouse have that same quality, which is why we value the treepers’ opinions.
Considered, articulate, and most importantly sited! (Oh, and did I mention passionate and spicy and funny?). Off to bed!!! Good night!
…I do have to say you slightly exaggerated “like nearly every poster did…”
You Treeper friends didn’t do that. It was an unfortunate and sad event to see unfurl. But eventually, all parties came to a detente, mended fences and we all go forth!
I wouldn’t know troll if it bit me on the…um…nose!
I will give anyone the benefit of the doubt…once. I am not big on ganging up on a troll…after all engaging is their goal, right? I just choose not to play.
Now seriously!!!! Going to bed!!!!
I’m never far away…
Yes but not as a professional driver, in my own work capacities only which are pretty extensive.
Was in a convoy once that broke through state lines, that was over toll tax, I wasn’t driving though.
Also grew up in and around trucks, o’l man was a truckie.
Seen Rah lately?
The only issue I might have with explaining these sounds via “Dreamtime” is that these sounds were captured by mechanical devices (video cams) and recorded.
Those devices are purely mechanical in capturing sound and cannot use any level of human brain perception or genetically-inherited ancient memory to re-create them. So the audible / physical sounds actually occurred at the times they were recorded.
That said, I looked up Dreamtime thanks to Mungrel’s reference to the concept ad find it quite fascinating and no less valid than many other spiritually-attained connections to the universe’s past, present and future.
Good on you, Mungrel. I learn something new every day here in CTH.
GB Dreamtime is fascinating isn’t it? The trumpets you speak of…I find your interpretation fascinating as well. So much to ponder on this dreamy Saturday and all my tree friends are responsible for it ❤️
Well perhaps we could split the difference GB Bari,
… and classify this as an X-File. 🙂
👍
“X-file” is certainly possible = no specific cause or origin has yet been identified for the phenomena that were observed / heard / recorded.
Pardon me, would you consider a stupid pondering of mine? Possibly another episode? Starring the Egyptian artifact that resembles the space shuttle of recent years. Often fantasized it was a symbol of men traveling back to a much earlier century . 🤷♀️.
Tongue in cheek humor, maybe classify it as a XXX file? 😂
I know, go back to my forest….
🥸😎🤣
Hmm. Very interesting comment…
Yep, I understand your point, however I think the metaphysical and physical barrier can be crossed, this is one hell of a difficult subject to tackle as words defy descriptions even before you start.
The Dream analogy works of the principal of the externality of relations is an illusion, this is difficult to understand as it makes no sense if looked at objectively.
The only reason I understand is because I am a Lateral thinker !
If this makes sence I can go further if you like .
Great reply .
Cheers.
Cornua Borealis?
Dear gldn2th! 🙂
Amazingly enough, you may have just hit upon a connection I was thinking of based on something my father once told me … He was speaking though of “aurora borealis” aka Northern Lights.
What my father said (way before the Internet was available to Google information so I just accepted this as ancient lore) … is that allegedly way back in the distant past, there was a war going on in a Scandinavian country that manifested in the Northern Lights, with the aurora taking on the shapes of warriors in the sky … and the men in their Viking ships, hundreds of miles away, watched it at night.
So you never know.
Thank you for your awesome guess! 🙂
Holy cow, those are some weird sounds alright.
Reminds me of an old, scary svengoolie movie soundtrack, or, something out of the heavens.
I would’ve been scared if I was alone in the bush hearing that.
Funny you should mention the bush, Slowcobra …
So there’s going to be an Australian truck convoy?
Here are some sky trumpet videos from Australia years ago … Sydney from 2015 featuring horns and Queensland from 2012, which sounds almost like truck motors and creaking:
that first one sounded like someone torturing a giant violin.
Wow, and also another one in 2012 but 1/2 way around the world.
Wow, Flyover, I’d sure like to see the size of those Moose! 🙂
Happy Caterday, Treepers!
We’ve got a long way to go
and a short time to get there.

Granny’s Solace :
The pig harassment continued, Granny kept picking up the boy from the copshop sticking it up the pigs anyway she could.
I was arrested again on a trumped up drink driving charge, at nine in the morning three pig cars surrounded mine as I walked out of a shop, used a breathalyzer the switched the little bubble thing.
A setup.
Lost my Liscence.
In the meantime the other side had set about destroyed my name on the streets, this situation got worse, at one point one of my GOOD mates dropped in to see Granny and inform her that “The boys on the inside were looking forward to seeing me ” this was actually good as it ment that I had good standing but Granny took it a step further “tell them that -mungrel- is looking forward to meeting them !!! Yes Granny was naive in some ways !
Nobody calls Mungrel a rat.
Young mungrel and I travelled by all other means, this activity led back to the place where I grew up, this was the “old crew” Mungrel was welcomed, young mungrel introduced.
I related earlier that in my family’s history we looked after the veterans of both world wars, all I’ll say is absolutely nobody messed with this mob.
I’ll cut this short,I received a phone number,
A few days later I rang.
A meeting insured,
One of the biggest heroin dealers in town.
He gave me another number , before I go any further it must be remembered that my old mob were not involved at all with the drug trade, they just knew who was who.
The second number was a big city barrister, we arranged a meeting at his office the next week.
Granny was thrilled wanting to know his name, I obliged, Granny smiling said she knew him?
Whatttt! , a few days later she sat me down and told me to tell this beak everything and it would be ok, I was hesitant to say the least, she turned her picture of Jesus that always stood in the table middle face down and scolded me.
The meeting went well, I done what Granny asked, I now know that this was a test, I liked him and him me, we had a “nip” in his office, he even related what a bitch his thirteen yr old daughter has been lately , we both threw humour at each other.
A meeting was set for next week and I was to bring all paperwork.
Granny gave me God bragging rights.
The next meeting absolutely blew me away,
Barrister was actually a Queens Council !!!!
In this country the best of the best!! The next appointment for most is not Supreme Court but high Court, and beat this as for system law all are required to take three cases a year pro bono, my case would be for free, no cost, with the best peasants can’t buy 😊 !
This now was a Federal Court case not state.
Granny didn’t wear out rosary beads anymore, I wondered why.
Court,Federal, full hog.
The scene : the other side, most of the idiot family, two lowlife make a name barristers, 4 or five legal hangers on plus some dicks I don’t know .
My side Mungrel and his QC, nobody else.
Judge enters, bowing crap, then spots my QC , greets him by first name and state’s what a privilege it was to have him in his court !!
Game over.
The judge didn’t put up with any bullshit, the whole thing lasted half an hour, the kidnapping worked.
Judge in other words stated young mungrel had made the decision himself, all else was moot.
A week was given to pack young mungrel up and give him to Boss Mungrel.
Granny was elated beyond measure , we had beat them all, the next week she devolged not all but enough, her prayers were delivered she said.
This part is mine and I will never say more about our conversation ever.
I had young mungrel finally at the country house , Granny rung, the conversation was short, God bless she said, we would catch up later.
Here last sentence I didn’t take much notice of, here it is,
” I can die happy now ____ is where he belongs”
Those were her last words spoken to another human being.
She died that night .
Her Christian names are/were Pearl Margret .
Solace is a gift given to me.
Not a day goes by when I don’t think of Granny’s Solace.
❤️
Mungrel my mate, can you please help me?!?!
I have now seen a few short videos of our politicians being served papers. The explanations that go with it are not enough for me to understand what’s happening. Do you know about this, and what is actually happening?
I’m going to need it explained like I’m an idiot… slowly and loudly, too…
Thanks! And sorry to change the topic.
I’ve also now discovered that there’s an Aussie truck convoy to Canberra. I’m going to see if I can go out and support them tomorrow.
And apparently a European truck convoy too
You made it back from Alice then, good their hitin hard there now , Kimberly is much worse.
The papers are all suppeners, meaning a court appearance, although I hate lawyers some are Patriots.
When and I say when on purpose this mandate covidcon shit ends all involved will be hit hard by law first.
Dictator Dan is shiting himself, talk is as soon as he gets outed jail awaits.
Queensland Ricci, look him up, ex SAS Patriot plus says it the Aussie way.
Hanson too is coming into fold again, the A1 party broke ground on the fence sitters with that Serb sellout tennis POS, most of the yanks here don’t understand why.
F*ckin elite deep mole that one.
Word is truckers are going to the evil hill, they got changhided last time, from what I’m hearing they want to make amends . to there credit though they did try first, to many sheeple stopped them.
Aussie soldiers below major rank have also joined the fray, I cannot go further on this as mum.is the word.
Big danger in WA cowarder is going full commie ching with the mining richers, won’t be too long before the WA mob cut sick on this scumbag.
Covidcon will be the excuse to stop elections we know that.
As the Canadian Patriots are doing well we now get the heat behind the scenes, that’s all good, resolve is stronger as a result.
They are broken and they know it.
Don’t give in, remember us Aussies do things differently than the rest, most on this site don’t understand how.
The OT mob here are pretty good free thinkers, I only post here now.
Any more info on OZ I post here if you ask.
Son of the Southern Cross.
Cheers.
Thanks mate – do you know any further details about the subpoenas? I realise it’s to do with covid, but do you know anything more specific?
I also liked how McGowan has made compassionate grounds for entering WA, which includes members of parliament. A happy coincidence that it is right when he needs to go to the east coast for a judge ordered appearance in court.
I hope all these evil bastards get either a life sentence or a death sentence.
Anyway, no need to tell me any of the secrets going on. I wish you the best of luck – we’re going to win!
Ok, so I’ve just seen this – not sure if it’s related to the politicians having subpoenas. I guess now we watch to see if anything comes of it
https://m.facebook.com/784422089/posts/10160088643582090/?d=n&ref=share&__tn__=R
VERY MUCH appreciate your inside perspectives, Mungrel.
I have come to understand that we States-siders should not judge you Aussies’ actions and motives because we are two different cultures despite speaking a similar language. But there are definitely idioms in each culture’s dialects that are quite unique.
Glad to have you in the Treehouse.
Thanks, it’s a pity more don’t see the difference, I have come to think that the mind control crowd use the divide against both sides.
Thank you for sharing your story with us 😊
Thank you.
Mungrel, thank you for sharing. Kleenex indeed!
Eternal peace be with granny.
Thank you for your story, Mungrel
Blessings
Thanks son! Your pop’s glasses are fogging up again.
God bless her, Mungrel. 🙏Yes…tears. Your guiding star was and I suspect still is Pearl Margret. And something tells me she will be waiting for you.
In spite of eveything, it’s impossible for me to think that God has not been your Bless-ed Companion your whole life. Thank you, dearest friend, for trusting us with your story, and hers. Words really do fail me. LBT.💓
Goodaye Betsy, there is a lot I had to leave out as the whole story is just to long.
Should I write an epilogue?
Oh absolutely!!!!! No question, M💓
That would be splendid, son! It would be a fitting way to end your tribute here to Granny aka Pearl Margaret.
These people have twisted themselves into pretzels.
Morning Ya’ll , 🙂
Good morning, jay💓
🙂
I watched this yesterday. It was so terribly sad.

Greetings beloved Treeper hangout!
My verse for the day…
Acts 20:24 ESV
IMO, Very fitting Frank.
Thanks and have a blessed day, my friend ❤️
Good morning, Cat! Just stopping by for a quick review of the OT. Heading out to a second celebration of life service in as many days.
‘Glad you got them claws all done, the forest will be safe. And M is circling it and dropping his barker eggs, so I don’t have to worry about y’all. 😁
Will try to check in later today. Blessings! ❤️
G, as you may now know my linking deficits are unlimited.
BUT!! On the National Pulse which is the site run by the incredible, admirable Raheem Kassam is an article which I found on the site REVOLVER entitled
“Here’s Why Texas Governor Greg Abbott Is Tanking”
The man is an out and out RINO which I knew, but this article names his hard-core anti Trump advisors. He is tanking. He was way ahead a few months ago, but Colonel West has surpassed him now in the polls (for whatever they are worth which is not much I know). The poll I saw had Huffines barely making a ripple.
If you have a spare minute, this article would interest you I think. It’s good to know the players. I hope Mr Trump knows, but unfortunately I think he will endorse this RINO snake tonight at his rally.
Checked out this morning Alan West’s site and Huffine’s. West has a lot of generalities. Huffine has a lot more details.
Guess at this point any one of the two will do but Abbott.
I will check the article later and report.
Betsy, just read the article. Another snake in the Texas Republican Party that needs to be purged. There are so many of them, it is hardly believable.
By the was, did you know the name of Rove’s ranch? Cinco De Mayo. He can go and be consultant to the cartels, if he is not already.
No I did not. I believe we don’t know the half of it, G…Btw Abbott has just made a speech at the Trump rally. If he’s the nominee, I’ll vote for him of course. The alternative is unimaginable.
Same here, and President Trump endorsed him but that won’t stop us from trying to primary him.
Amen, brother!
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.
Amen.

“The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”

morning Treepers
Morning LS!
Today’s lectionary reading about David and Uriah the Hittite is one that I have thought for a long time describes the arrogance of the elite against the poor, workers, and humble. There is no end of the rapaciousness of the rich and powerful. Will a Nathan emerge with the authority to challenge the king?
Reading I 2 Sm 12:1-7a, 10-17
The LORD sent Nathan to David, and when he came to him,
Nathan said: “Judge this case for me!
In a certain town there were two men, one rich, the other poor.
The rich man had flocks and herds in great numbers.
But the poor man had nothing at all
except one little ewe lamb that he had bought.
He nourished her, and she grew up with him and his children.
She shared the little food he had
and drank from his cup and slept in his bosom.
She was like a daughter to him.
Now, the rich man received a visitor,
but he would not take from his own flocks and herds
to prepare a meal for the wayfarer who had come to him.
Instead he took the poor man’s ewe lamb
and made a meal of it for his visitor.”
David grew very angry with that man and said to him:
“As the LORD lives, the man who has done this merits death!
He shall restore the ewe lamb fourfold
because he has done this and has had no pity.”
Then Nathan said to David: “You are the man!

Good article.
Too many of the comments under that article are a sad commentary of contemporary coldness of heart towards wildlife.
The commenters who figuratively shrugged their shoulders and criticized the actions of the people in the article, exhibited a complete misunderstanding of natural wildlife. Those ducks were not natural indigenous wildlife in that area, a fact totally lost on the ones who took the attitude – “let them be eaten by hawks or other predators.”
So beautiful! A choir of angels on earth🥰
Thank you dora ❤️
That was so lovely and moving, Dora. Thank you.💓🙏

maybe add some prayers for Canadian Truckers?
Good morning to all my dear friends in the branches. I am woefully late to the party. Got stuck on the amazing and uplifting Canadian trucker thread.
Saturday blessings to one and all 🙏💓
(My Kindle thinks I don’t mean what I type…it translated into “Samurai” blessings! So those,too. We need them for our ongoing fight for righteousness!!🙏 )
Good Morning Betsy!
Indeed, the birth of a worldwide movement was was a beauty to witness. Sundance is outdoing himself every day. Now, if we can only keep up the momentum as well as keep our diamonds forever. IMO, that is the question, can we keep it?
My phone keeps adding repetitive words . I’m constantly rechecking my posts. Try as I may, the dumb phone does what it wants. I’ll be watching for the samurai’s to show up!
Thanks for tip to be on the lookout 😂
SO annoying. Plus my Kindle is an ignorant thing. It doesn’t recognize perfectly good words and often changes them into Alice and Wonderland nonsense.
He has arrived.
The autocorrect is why I prefer my laptop but it handicaps me with the lack of emojis. 🙂
That’s the only one that I know how to do.
Hi Grandpa! Kept missing you today to say hi. Hope your day went well, under the circumstances. Thought about you all day.
Hope you and the missus are having a warmer day than we are. So cold, I’m amazed the birds aren’t freezing in mid flight.
Got my fireplace going, hubby making dinner(I make steak chew like leather(purposely shhh, best mistake I made in the early years)) 😂 , and a Texas Trump date via tv tonight!
Hope you and mrs grandpa have a kicking Saturday night as well. Perhaps a little flamenco 💃? Garrison supplied the music earlier 😉
LOL Cat! the flamenco will have to wait. She had to go across the valley and feed SIL. Our day was quite warm, got to 61. Almost went outside to clean some toys but it was a little windy and since my throat was a bit sore last night I used it as an excuse to do nothing.
Last night I did some herbal tea with honey and a pretty nice pour of shine in it. Did me good and after a dose of Ivermectin this morning my throat is much better.
I always like to cook my steaks medium rare. Get the grill very hot and do just a few minutes per side, seals the juices then let them sit covered for 10 minutes and I am making myself hungry.
But you’ve got it figured out and your secret is safe with me.
Bon appetite!
So glad your throat is better. Oddly, today I read a whole article on what to do for a sore throat…on Natural News
“Get Rid of Sore Throat Fast with These Home Remedies”
I read that you did o e of the recommended ones but there are more, amongst them a few surprising ones. Cartoon with pickle juice is one, though Listerine kills viruses I strongly included Covid it has been reported.
I’ve heard the one about the Listerine. The great thing last night was that wifey didn’t mind me using the shine as medicine. The mash was 4 grain and the finished product very smooth and quite powerful.
That momentum mustn’t be allowed to wither, Cat. It is key, the soul of what is going on, awakened now and powerful…a power which oppressors cannot understand. And those who possess it have to realise what a mighty weapon it is. Mightier than anything our enemies hold.💓
😉
Amen 🙏
Good afternoon Betsy and Cat! And Samurai blessings to both of you (waving my katana/I do have one). I’ve had emotionally draining 2 days so I’ll just vedge for a while.
And if I feel like it later I’ll clean and lube a couple of my remote chipping devices.
<insert heart emoji here>
Afternoon, G. It’s a thing to recognize how our emotions do affect our physicality. And the ones that really deplete our physical abilities are hard to recover from. Sometimes, for me, these drainings take place when my landscape changes forever. I call them markers. And we all face those as life is never static. I do hope that’s not too cryptic an explanation for the times I as well feel as if I can’t summon my normal self.
So do chill, G, have a meal, chill some more and get a good night sleep. Doesn’t always work. But I hope your mojo will be revitalised. 💓
I’ve been Bet NM. Waiting on the Trump rally. 🙂
It’s gonna be a barn burner!
Should have scrolled down before posting ⬆️. Take it easy, rest, and charge your batteries up. After all, we’re retired.(used to think of it as an honor, now I found out it means that my tired gets retired again and again Go figure. 😎 ❤️
The way I was thinking was that I wasn’t really that tired so why am I getting retired. 🙂
Replied to your other post, too.
Visions of the Heavenly Father: Revelation 4 I made a horrible choice this morning. I drug out of bed late, and instead of looking first to the Word of God, I proceeded to check the morning news as I had my sweet roll and coffee.(That too is not a wise choice, but oh well.) As I considered the insanity of the systems of this world, much of it totally inexplicable to an intact moral mind, let alone one born from above by the Spirit of God, my outlook for the day wasn’t very bright.
So as the spirit chastised me, I turned to Revelation chapter 4, which has become my usual mouthwash to wash the taste of this whole world out of my inner man, my soul. In my more prudent, and obedient yesterday morning, I was led to the statements of the Spirit to the overcomers in Revelation 2 and 3, but was particularly taken by 3:21, ” to him that overcomes will I grant to sit with Me in My Throne even as I also overcame and Am sat down with My Father in his Throne.”
And this is the Spirit’s carefully planned preface and context of chapter 4, the Father’s Throne which is promised as the dwelling place of the overcomers in the Bosom of Christ Jesus upon His Throne. And as I read chapter 4 in this context this morning, I couldn’t help but see the similarities and contrasts with chapter 19 of Exodus. Both occasions are proceeded by a trumpet call. Hebrews 12:18 graphically portrays the contrast of The shadow of Exodus 19, with the fulfillment which we have in Christ Jesus, which is beautifully, figuratively, and prophetically portrayed in Revelation 4 and 5.
In Exodus, at the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, a voice that they didn’t want to hear, the people begged Moses to do the talking for them, and they would do what God said.(Ex. 19:8; 20:19) But even Moses their mediator, said, “I exceedingly fear and quake”.(Heb. 12:21) That fear and trembling was because, “for they could not endure” that which was commanded by such a holy and righteous and fearsome God. But praise God for Hebrews 12: 22!!! “But you are come unto Mount Zion, the City of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels” etc. blessedly through Vs.24. This is the vision of Peace, Comfort, and Joy that is revealed here in Revelation 4&5.
In Exodus 19, the lightning and thunder and the quaking and the voice of the trumpet scared the socks off of the people of Israel. But in Revelation 4 we first encounter 24 seats arranged around the throne, and upon the seats 24 elders sitting on them, clothed in white raiment, with crowns of gold on their heads. Then we encounter lightning and thunder and voices proceeding from the throne. Apparently the elders remain seated, undisturbed by this “storm of Righteousness”. And then there are the beasts. Hebrews 12 reminds us, ” if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned or thrust through with a dart.” Yet here in this Throne vision, ” and in the midst of the throne and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.” Granted, the beasts are different, the latter prefiguring a great truth, but here we have welcome beasts as opposed to destroyed beasts that stand before Mount Sinai. For here we are coming to the Throne of Mount Zion, the promised destination of the overcomers. And the throne is enshrouded in figures of covenant promise and fulfillment which is Gloriously revealed in the Victorious Lamb who alone opens the book of God’s eternal Will and Purpose.
Hebrews 3:14 reminds us, “For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.” Be overcomers, beloved, sink your faith deep into the Victorious Lamb of God. May we start our day with “Jesus, the mediator of the New Covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel.” Hebrews 12:24
Thank you for that marvelous post.
And I agree with you. Normally I stop here first to refresh my spiritual batteries with friends. On the very rare days I go elsewhere first, my day is not started on the best footing. On returning to this comforting, loving thread, all becomes right with the world.
I too must make a conscious effort to focus on the word of God upon waking. Should I slip, I miss my happy feelings towards the day too. Personally I try to make a practice of starting off here and enjoying my morning ☕️ with the dt posts. Dan and WP are an excellent daily beginning personally to me. There also was someone, juststevie, who posted daily’s from the Oswald chambers, who was very influential. Spurgeon and Oswald have become part of my favorite daily routine. Perhaps you may like them. Betsy’s one of our experts on spurgeon. She’s always happy to talk about him.
I’m trying to say, find what speaks to you so strongly you want nothing but more knowledge of the writings upon awakening and always get back on the bicycle ❤️
I do miss her…and TM. I AM always happy to talk about Dr. Spurgeon, whose writings and sermons can lift the spirit as no other. Food for the soul, as this thread is and as are the people who contribute to it…looking at you, Cat😘
Beginning to get out of practice reading his books I accumulated, must confess.
I spend most of my religious schooling at the treehouse. It has such an eclectic excellent mix ❤️
Perhaps i should ask you for assistance on kicking my butt and once a month,if it’s not too much trouble, select a video topic you think some may enjoy as well as myself?
Your library is quite extensive on all things life 😉
Just a thought

Happiness isn’t something you experience; it’s something you remember. ~ Oscar Levent
This trucker is just happy he isn’t going east or north on Sunday. I’ve driven in enough of that stuff. A few years ago they sent me into Boston to pick up a load the morning after they had received more snow in 24 hours than any time on record.
That same winter on another trip, brokerage tried to send me down into Connecticut into the teeth of a fast approaching Nor Easter. When I called in and told them that I would go but don’t expect to see me for a couple days because I would be stranded and besides I was sure the shipper would send their people home well before I got there, even if I did make it. They called the shipper and sure enough they said they were shutting down because of the weather.
Another time I was blasting across the I-90 MA turnpike when it was supposedly closed. There was no one out there but I was getting through just fine. When I made it to the place I was to deliver they were working but to dock one had to back up an incline and that had not been plowed. It took me a dozen tries to get into the dock and when I did I hit it pretty hard. There was no choice. If one slowed too much one would slide off to the side.
Before I was on e-logs I trucked out of Kansas City headed to my terminal in Indiana in a blizzard at night. Had to use the rumble strips to be sure I remained on the paved surface. I did not see a salt shaker or plow all that way across Missouri until I got to the St. Louis area. Not even on in Columbia. Took me 14 hours to make a trip that usually takes 8.25.
Many a time while driving in those conditions I have tilted the steering wheel up, then slid the seat up all the way, then opened the window and reached out with my left arm and grabbed the drivers side wiper to pull it away from the windshield so it slaps back and knocks the accumulating ice off the end of it so the wiper blade can again contact the glass. Even with the defroster on 100% heat and fan it can’t keep your blades from accumulating slush that freezes.
One time heading up I-79 in PA heading for Tonawanda, NY (North and NE side of the Buffalo area) the Jumbotron said that the I-90 Throughway was closed at Hamburg going into the Buffalo area due to heavy and fast falling lake effect snow. I diverted down I-86 and then cut north on US 219. My intention was to go north as far as could and then go east and work my way up to come into Tonawanda from the east. I got there and when I backed into the door at the Unifrax facility on Fire Tower road there was not a flake of snow on the ground or in the air. This when 14 miles SE as the crow flies they were in a snow emergency. Lake effect snow is some strange stuff.

The problem with being the guy that always get through is that of course you get more than your fair share of that kind of driving. And so I don’t feel one bit guilty that the younger drivers are getting the bulk of that kind of driving and it seems now days I get sent away from the worst of it instead of being sent into it. It takes a lot of endurance to deal with that kind of driving for hours on end and to be quite frank, though I can still do it, it takes more out of me now and takes longer for me to recover. One has to be quite careful at night not to get hypnotized by the snowflakes that are lighted up in the brow lights of the tractor.
So this Sunday at 21:30 I depart for Spring Hill, TN. There I will take a 10 hour break and then deliver in the morning. After that I will take the empty down to the BASF/XPO facility by the airport in Huntsville, AL and pickup a trailer full of catalyst as used in catalytic converters and then bring that load back to the terminal in Anderson, IN.
I’ve been waiting for you…but it seems you are very busy doing what you do. Wondered if you were thinking of convoying….
Not at this time. Still doing what the company wants me to do.
Please keep us posted if you decide…
Hope this works. You are my friend.

It worked but which video were you trying to point to? There are several – all good. The first two are the Rottweiler and the baby girl, and then the “Fail” dashcam crash compilatilon,…
The Baby and Rottweiler was titled: You are my Friend I believe.
Great video. The AKC entry for Rotties describes why that video is not at all unusual as being representative of the breed.
https://www.akc.org/dog-breeds/rottweiler/
I’m blaming you for the reason I want a little rottie pup again Just gotta find one near me 😉
So big(statue and heart), smart and loyal and they scare to bejeebers out of strangers. Used to say Black Lives Matter before the dirtbags. I meant my dog. 😂
Thanks ❤️
LOL. But seriously, get your rottie pup from a well-known and respected AKC-registered breeder. And unless you already have experience training them, get good guidance on that too.
I have a close-by neighbor with a mature female rottie and the dog is lovely around her family, but seriously defensive of them to all outsiders. They have a daughter with two boys and I’ve seen the dog around the toddlers and they are great together..
😂. Feral Cat wants a Rottie?! Wish I was a fly on that wall!!!! Ever thought about a tiger or a lion cub?
On a slightly more serious note, we don’t have guns in the house but we do have two big dogs. (Amazing how many people are afraid of dogs!!). We are getting to the point when our Pups are REALLY no longer pups…(side bar: and if they die in the night on your sofa, what are you supposed to do?!)
At 60-something, do we really want to do the Puppy thing again? Maybe an older dog…
I’ve always been leery (as a kid, terrified would be a better word) of dogs. But NEVER been leery of a dog I got as a puppy.
Keep us updated!!!!
(Sorry guys, that was a bit of a ramble!)
Amen!
Val – you give me the perfect opening for what happened to Lucky.
I feel I owe all you wonderful treepers … lest you get the mistaken idea that Lucky is a quitter.
Yes, the experience of dealing with the situation in FAA headquarters was high stress. But, that’s life, is it not?
It took 5 years before Lucky was to discover WHY the tractor sank in the swamp Think of it this way – Lucky had been able to fly (think butterfly). Suddenly she was in a cage. The bars were the job. That cage was in a room with poisonous fumes.
Upon return to Colorado, Lucky began a search for her future. The door to flying was firmly closed. How can that be, you might ask? Because Lucky’s brain had basically ceased to function. She was full of anger, hate and frustration for the abrupt change in a life / career that had held so much promise.
After a number of attempts at different jobs (you have to stay busy or go crazy), Lucky ‘lucked into’ selling nutritional supplements. The main clients were health care providers. Many of them were Chiropractors. A group of MD’s specialized in what is called Chelation Therapy. Another group were Clinical Ecologists AKA Environmental Medicine Specialists. Lucky was able to find support from this unique group practicing alternative approaches to health problems (while developing ‘clients’ for sales). 🙂
One of these doctors used a specialized form of allergy testing using sublingual drops. The test involves a ‘challenge’ below the tongue with a known allergen. Patient reactions (or non-reactions) are noted. Headaches (for instance), could be neutralized with a serial dilution of the allergen. Similar to a homeopathic remedy, but very specific.
One particularly kind doctor ran his tests on Lucky. Foods – eh. Mold – eh. Petrochemical – WOW!. reactions reversed, treatment drops prescribed. Mental review of history – FAA Building on the Mall in DC – wall to wall traffic from morning to night. Sealed old building recirculating used air. Well, you get the picture.
Then, Lucky was tested for formaldehyde. For all intents and purposes brain function ceased. Like throwing a switch. Nothing the doctor did (including Vitamin C IV and more) would reverse the reaction. It took 3 days for the effect to ease up.
More mental review. The apartment in DC was sprayed 3 times in 9 months for cockroaches. Anti cockroach paper in the pantry, under silverware and under plates. Want to guess what is the main ingredient?
Unlike the choice to avoid a food which gives one headaches, formaldehyde is ubiquitous and hidden. The only way to know one has been exposed is to be able to recognize the symptoms. That problem is compounded by the fact that exposure is accompanied by the brain shutting down. There is no way to describe the effect.
Fast forward 40 years. Toxic chemical exposure still happens. Plus age, which sneaks up on all of us who keep rising each morning and giving thanks unto the Lord.
I would not want you to get the idea Lucky was a quitter. She just had to learn how to fight a different war.
Thank you Val for the comparison – ‘they inject their poison into us’ – is a very apt description. Ps near as i can tell formaldehyde is a common additive to most injections.
I am equally sure Lucky is not the only person walking around with unknown symptoms form this poison.
WOW! Thank YOU!
And Amen!
More Snow Is Less | Real Climate Science
The BS hype is never ending and it is all supposedly based on climate models. I can’t understand why anyone that pays attention believes that climate models are the gospel when even the forecast of weather models quite often are dead wrong when forecasting more than 3 days out.
rah, methinks that the global cooling/global warming/climate change was the original vehicle to BrokeBackBetter.
Yep! A long term attempt in pushing the government authority to implement the “Great Reset”. If you think about it, virtually everything in the common mans life can be regulated or taxed based on the claim it is harmful to the environment or climate.
Stupid is as Stupid does.
Watch as a snow plow driver launches a spray of slush into oncoming highway traffic, leading to a 40-car accident on the Ohio Turnpike (msn.com)
When I was assigned to a team in Co. A, 3rd Bn., 10th SFG(A) I was a PFC fresh out of the Special Forces Qualification course. I was a medic and the rank for my slot was SSG. The lowest rank on a team is Sgt.
Since I was the ONLY private on a team in the whole Battalion at the time I got stuck with crap details. One of those was going to Bus driving school to become an instructor so that I could train other guys in Bus driving and thus the Battalion would not have to rely on support personnel which may or may not be available to transport teams to training or to an Air Force Base when being deployed.
So when 3rd Bn, did it’s annual winter warfare training I would drive a bus load of us from Camp Ethan Allan to Smugglers Notch for downhill ski training and then back after the training day was done. Of course I was also taking part in the training on top of driving and making sure that the Bus got started during the nights when the temp dropped below zero. Thankfully it had ether start.
So one day on the way back to our billets I was behind a big “V” plow that was throwing a lot of snow. I could not believe it when some moron in VW behind me decided to try and pass us and the plow.
The car disappeared in the solid wall of heavy snow and then reappeared about 30 ft, off the road half buried in the snow. We kept going and everyone on the left side of the bus that saw it was laughing.
My sweet, considerate, honest, honourable, hard working, master of all things, generous,kind husband drove buses, repaired buses, taught newbies to drive buses, drove all over Europe and the UK for a tour company (which is how we met), managed a regional coach company in Wales…all of that. Every time he got behind the wheel, he knew he was responsible for the lives which sat behind him. He took his job seriously because it was a serious job. And before he did that was the equivalent of an American paramedic in the UK.
I gained a keen appreciation for what he did, rah. Your job wasn’t a “crap” job. Had you not done your job right, which I’m certain you did, who knows how many down the road would have been negatively affected.
And one day, I’ll tell you the story about how I came to be married to a bus driver, or at least how a conversation I had with my roommate at the University of Texas in 1972 was almost a prophesy to a turning in my life 14 years later which was probably the biggest blessing God could have given me.
I know from whence you speak. Meeting and marrying any one of these incredible loving, caring men is indeed the biggest blessing God could give.
I self identify with the song from Sound of Music: Somewhere in my youth and childhood I must have done something good.
Sweet Betsy, he probably feels the same way about how you are a blessing in his life….
He does, ms idaho. There is no one else for him nor for me. When I go for days without makeup and then put some on if I’m going to the store, he says that he doesn’t understand why I’m bothering because I always look beautiful to him. Utmost trust and love. You know…I love your analogy. God has been good to you and to me.
hug each other for us
🙂
And I am happy that you are happy. My spouse has enriched my life, my thought processes, and my very soul in the 38 years we have been together. I can’t imagine life without her.
We are joined at the hip, as you are with your lovely bride. So fortunate. 😊
Awwww. I got to read love stories tonight and they aren’t fictional. The real deal 💗 I’d be at at loss if I was made to pick just one.
Glad I don’t have to cause they all are special and remind me of what truly makes the world go round.
Thanks for the romantic Saturday night theme. Now how about a little tango or flamenco music? 🤭
Either/or😊
you too – hug each other – when you get home
meanwhile – mental hugs from us
Like so many things in life – it’s hard to describe to someone who has not had the experience
It was a detail NOBODY wanted. And I had several other details that I did because they were judged the worst of those that had to be done. But your right. It wasn’t crap. A crap detail is being detailed to burn out the the 1/2 barrels of a burnout latrine. Now there is a crap detail.
😂😂😂…I won’t argue there!
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 bring relief political prisoners everywhere. Praying especially for Julian Assange, for the January 6 prisoners (President Trump finally spoke of how horribly they have been treated!)
Also please shelter Pastor Pawlowski and all other people of religion who have had the temerity to speak their minds, here and abroad.
Amen.
rah’s snow discussion jogged my memory
One of my ‘dads’ took his new family (us) on a summer trip to Calumet Mi. It is located on the Keweenaw Peninsula – a finger that juts up into Lake Superior.
At the entrance to the drive north stands a ‘snow thermometer’ that has a max measured snowfall of 390.4″. As we drove into Calumet we noticed that all the houses had 2 stories, and they all had doors from the 2nd story.
Apparently there were times when the snow was so deep the houses were covered to that level. They put boards over the sidewalks as the snow built up so they could walk to town. Alternatively they tunneled.
Time to keep a close eye on Cairo and N.Africa again. The toads in D.C. are once again up to something. https://www.timesofisrael.com/days-after-massive-arms-deal-us-halts-egypt-military-aid-over-human-rights-concerns/

Wandered over here seeking solace after being a bit beat up on another thread, knew I’d find it here. So glad to see Mungrel. Blessings to you all.
