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 †

As we can see, there are so many gods of this age, all of them false and unholy.
Isaiah 8:19-20
We are told to “fear nothing but the loss of Thee.” The most terrible loss of all.
Thanks much for citing Scripture in your post! ✝️
The vid is 79 minutes. Can you please give a summation?
Sure – the Marvels movies were used a vehicle to spread anti God propaganda in the same way the devil peddles misinformation about God and levels untrue accusations.
In the films, everything is inverted. Tony Stark is a Christ figure who is narcissistic. Black Panther is the ruler of Necropolis who eats fruit from a tree that gives him godlike powers. Thanos is actually supposed to be God, and they treat him like this (short scene):
There is so much more to it than that brief summary, Frank, but that will give you an idea. Guys if you can scrounge up 80 minutes, the video in my OP is well worth your time.
Thank you griever. I am so glad you’re on this thread💓
Thanks Betsy, glad to be here! =)
You are so welcome, sir.🤗
Just one more reason to dislike these films. The first Superman and Batman movies were ok. But now this films are rolled out constantly like a Pixar cartoons. Hollywood has very few original ideas for movies. It is all remakes and sequels. Maybe it is hard for them to be inventive when they are too busy doing commie work. Like so many other things, I haven’t been to the movies in a very long time.
Oh how I agree with that! I’ll give you three to see that won’t require you to pay astronomical prices…all available on either Prime, Britbox, or Acorn.
Hector and the Search for Happiness, About Time, and What We Did on Our Holiday.
All British, all original, actors you’d know, sweet, funny, and all in my top 10. Pure enjoyment.
There is a reason the communists can never come up with anything original – in art or in life in general.
Yes, for them if they just tweak their communism or fascism jesssst a little, this time it will different. Because of course it will.
I watched. Thanks.
2 Corinthians 4:4-6 ESV
Amazing verse, thank you, that says it all really. Thanks for taking the time to watch that, Mr. Field.

Good Morning WP! ❤️
Good morning, Cat! 🤗❤️
Gracious good morning, G💓 Winds are whipping up. Not yet spring.
The winds here have switched direction, now coming from the west. At least not blowing directly at my bedroom door.
Sounds draughty. I know all about that. We had sash cord windows in our 1869 house windows long ago. Thank goodness for coal fires which we kept burning 24-7. And good old fashion radiators. And a house built to last. In fact I’d say we were warmer in very much colder winters there than we are here with what I’d call moderate cold ones.
Ours is 17 years old, very tight. Just the people that painted it 2 years ago and replaced the door frame did a real crappy job with the seal. One more thing on my list.
Thank you, W_P! Humility is that precious treasure about which you can’t write a book named “How I became humble “.
Good Morning grandpa ❤️
I am exited cause I’m getting my workshop shed delivered and installed today. Finally! Had it scheduled for the day when all was frozen so the got around to it. Get to move a bunch of tools out of my closet. 😎🔨🔧🪛
My hubby would be jumping up and down as well. You should see all his equipment in our garage. Woodworking. A lot which he has engineered and built. Enjoy!!!
I’m waiting for the building to be finished so I can get all my tools there and then buy sone reloading equipment.
Oh sweet. Now I know my son would be jumping up and down as well. Though with their new house, I bet he has a dedicated room for his😉
Niiiiiice. Your husband sounds like a ubiquitous guy. I find it great pleasure to read your posts dear sis.
Thank you, Frank. I don’t want to bore. He is fascinating. Jack of all trades, master of all. I think you would like him, and he you. There has never been an issue we’ve faced he couldn’t make right…up to and including reupholstering, sewing draperies for me, refurnishing, plumbing, computers (including building them) electrical, anything to do with cars (inc!uding superb body work) building etc. And he’s a darned good watercolourist to boot.
It all comes from having grown up in post WWII Britain dirt poor, in a way a lot of Americans would have been horrified with. No question I am very fortunate with this good loving man.
You forgot he’s a sheep rescuer. What a amazing couple you two sound like🥰
Hahahahahahha!!!!! Shame on me, Cat😂 What a memory you have. 💓 Bless you.
Yay grandpa!!!!! When you get done, stop by and help me reorganize my messy tool shed. Only kidding, if tools were in their proper place I can’t seem to find them 😜
the installer left an hour ago, didn’t want to work on the shed’s roof in the high wind. I don’t blame him. Said will be back on Sunday to finish.
Everything today gets half done. I decided to try and change one of the high headlights of my James Bond car (not really, it’s a 96 Jaguar XJ6) that had a broken lens. After watching a video first I was able to pop the old light out and was very humbly proud of myself. However the replacement light (a used one, can’t get any new ones) was the wrong one – the low beam headlight. .
On the bright side when I called the guy I bought it from he said he was shipping the right one today and I could just keep the other.
The one thing I did accomplish was drive to the post office and mail some stuff for my bride who is getting pretty overwhelmed taking care of her sister’s things.
But God doesn’t give us anything that we can’t handle.
sweet grandpa! Doing cool guy stuff, getting a bargain indirectly. Awesome!
You’re awfully sweet to that gal of yours. Must be a real special lady and I bet she looks real good riding in that jag! Be careful someone might try to turn her head when you’re not looking 😉
She sure is, Cat! And nah, I’m not worried LOL!
She must be exhausted, G. What a very good and compassionate woman you are married to.
It has taken it’s toll but we keep on trucking. 🙂
Niiiiiice
Howdy!
Good .morn, WP. This one is wonderful🙏

Thanks for the post Sepp.

Yes, we are. Good morning, Betsy. Looks like you didn’t get much sleep.
My dental appointment was suddenly moved up a week for today. Just a cleaning but I always stress before.
I have the most wonderful dentist. The sign outside his modest office says “Gentle Dentistry” and it really is. His office staff are so sweet. Good ole Texas gals. Hugs when I go in. And he has country music playing! We all have such a laugh.
But I had 20 years of British dentistry. You can’t imagine. It leaves a mark. They put up with me though, and I love them all. I spend more time chatting and laughing with them than I do actually in the chair. Super people.
Happily a good part of “mythological Texas” is completely true. It even works its magic on newcomers. Why I live here. 🙂
You chose well, Garrison. And you are, of course, absolutely correct!🤗💓
Hello G! I’m a Texan by choice. Glad you are!
Oh Betsy, I can imagine. Having “enjoyed” Eastern European dentistry for almost 30 years, I had to have quite a few implants done. Now I get the cleaning every 6 months. Have a great dentist in Fredericksburg and the lady that does the cleaning has a “magic” touch.
Needless to say I got over the dental PTSD long time ago.
Oh good….and I mean that, G. I’m talking myself down off the ledge as I write. It’s nonsensical I know. I should know better. My dentist has three dental technicians, all of them gentle. Sweet as they can be.
Ok…I’m back. Pearly whites cleaned and polished. And the most wonderful visit with my dentist’s peeps. Lots of laughs and catching up. My dentist was away at a family funeral so I didn’t see him I’m sorry to say. He’s a good ole country boy with a ready laugh. One of the nicest most easy going people I’ve ever known. I love each and every member of his staff.
Wonderful, Sis! 😁
When I think of all that is being endured by millions right now, I am ashamed of my attitude. And thinking about this on my way there, I asked for forgiveness for my self centred focus. Everything needs a perspective. I lost it, but I got it back.🙏
Betsy glad your ordeal is over and such a nice visit you had. I think it was nice of you spreading happiness around. Too many eyores in the world. Think they need someone like you to bump into their life to pick up their mood They’ve forgotten how to not be depressed or sad. You’re very much needed ❤️
It’s not hard, Cat, when the people I see are, like you, so sweet and generous with themselves. And like Leenie, you are a treasure. I am fortunate, so fortunate, our paths crossed. You are one of those unexpected blessings gifted to me. 💓
Betsy, here is a reply from a sister, who’s been there.
Your greatest impact, with your kindness, is in a circle of the people that surround you., who you interact with on a daily basis…even if it is on line.
I think is is not a “self-centered” focus.
We can make a choice. Do we bear the burdens of all the injustices and cruelties all over the world, against which we are impotent, or do we choose to affect what we can, in our very limited sphere?
❤️
Thanks, Leenie💓. You are right, and I’ve had no end of conversations with myself on just this point. I have made a few comments here and there stating that we must work within our spheres wherever they may be and hope whatever good we can do will spiral outward for the benefit of others. We can’t solve the world’s problems. So here I am not following my own advice. Thank you for putting me back on track. You really are a treasure.🤗
❤️. The cruelty, and the temptation, is to fall into despair and self-doubt regarding all the problems in the world over which you and I have no impact and no control. What we do have control over his how we present, in our small corner of the world, and the impact we make in our small ways. The blessing is when enough people do that, there is a world-wide impact! Sleep well friend!!!! ❤️
👍
Bro! Good for you!!!!
🙂
Great post. You crack me up
Bets, I have a dentist that my family has gone to for 20 years, My husband and all 4 of my kids. My kids still call him, (he tells me, when they call, but tells me he can’t say why they call but, “Mom! Everything is okay!”
His staff is the best! Also 20 year relationship and the fact he can keep staff for 20 years tells you something! Dental appointments have become keeping up with friends! Who’d a thunk?
During the height of the pandemic, when they were all suited up, my dentist came in after the “cleaning” and I wasn’t wearing a mask (obviously) I said, “I miss your smile!” He pulled his mask down and grabbed my hand and said, “Okay?”
Peels of laughter coming out of the exam room!
I would have been in tears I think. What a kind man. How fortunate were you to find and keep him. How fun to have that laughter. And I know what that’s like because my dentist’s office is EXACTLY like that. We were squealing today. And he doesn’t care, often joining in himself.
I started to say the same as you did about keeping his staff. A real sign of what type of person he is.
The first time I saw him, per my daughter’s recommendation when we came back, I said to him that the first thing he needed to know was that I was a victim of British dentistry. He howled. I knew then I was in the right place. I am beyond grateful.
Agreed sis
Betsy, that is very sad. BUT: new voices are rising, we just need to have the discernment to listen to them.
Time moves naturally on, and takes people with her. That can’t be helped. I’m constantly listening for the next compelling voice, whether vocally or in writing.

Just like in the novel it’s the only way to defeat the tyranny in our western governments today.

Mungrel, this pup is only warming your throne. Some of us are waiting for you to say hi 😉
https://www.theepochtimes.com/australian-police-confirm-use-of-lrad-sonic-weapon-at-protest-against-covid-19-vaccine-mandates_4280693.html
I more than second that, Cat. Come out, come out wherever you are, Mungrel. Don’t make us worry🙏 I’ll start making up my own stories, which is never good.💓🙏LBT
I’ve been in hospital twisted me back paw, the problem is not so much the paw but finding a hospital that would take in a dirty heathen Mungrel that hasn’t had he’s shots!
I’m waiting test/x-ray results.
Hope all’s well your end.
Cheers.
Oh no!! And they let you in? I am so sorry. I hope you’re not in too much pain😬. But at least you found one, and I hope you didn’t have to go far. Strapped up then?
All is well here so far. Praying for you and Canada which needs to rid itself of its monster.
There you are!
Hang tuff, dog! 💪🙌✝️💪
Mornin’ M, they wouldn’t take you at the vet’s without shots? Glad that you found a place. We’ve been wondering what happened to you, now we know.
How’d you do that???!!!
Sleeping !!!!!
Broken my foot twice while sleeping. The doctors are amazed!
Don’t tell anyone! Once when chasing a deer, while bare foot, who was eating my bushes and the second a VERY vigorous attempt to kill a big roach in the kitchen. Of course all while I was sleeping!
Sis, you got to watch them killer deer. 🦌
The radiologist damn near fell down on the floor laughing….my good deed for the day 🥴
😂
Found him!!👍
Good morning Betsy, your up late ! Is that Feral teaching you night hunting skills ?
I am…can’t sleep. Just as well or I would have missed you💓. A glass of milk seems to work, so I’ve had that.
Just saw a video on bitchute where it has been asserted microwave weapons are being used in Australia now. One crying woman with blisters around her mouth was interviewed. She said there were many more like her. Someone was out with a piece of equipment measuring and the results were off the charts. Nothing would surprise me.
The whole “blistering” thing I don’t really know but personally I think it’s fake, son of mungrel was there.
At this time of year (late summer) the weather is hot but takes on a dimension of what we call “sun heat” meaning that the direct sun rays are very hot, hotter than normal, it’s very easy to get sunburnt, especially if your not used to sun, at the higher altitudes the sun heat is more potent .
At night is is super cold as well, Canberra sits in high altitude.
A more interesting point that I can confirm is what looks like “chem trails” in the sky above the crowds !
I’ve seen the pictures and they don’t look like anything normal to me.
The photos I’ve seen are ridgy didge as I know the photographer.
We only know of a fraction of the weapons they really have.
Cheers.
I saw the million?, or so resisting in Canberra.
Very glad
Hi Frank, that’s very encouraging news.
Here’s the cloud mention 🤷♀️
https://www.theislanderonline.com.au/story/7623359/the-mushroom-cloud-hanging-over-canberra/?cs=12
I can only pray you’re right. Her tears at what she saw happening were real enough.
Son, we’ve been chemtrailing here almost daily for years. This morning the sky is clear, we’ll see what happens later.
I’ve simply never seen any definitive proof, no whistleblowers !
I’ll list some Aussie words for the nipper when I get a chance, believe it or not , it’s hard to find any that havn’t got “adult” connanotions !!!!
Cheers pop
👍😂
Not we, THEY. Grrrr
Any up-dates on this?
How are you doing?
Cheers Leenie, I’m heading back for results now, only vet I could find is 100k away !
Did you just type 10o,00o miles or 100 kilometers? 🤭
How did this happen?
WHOA!
Hi Leenie!
Hi!, Sweetie! All well?
Absolutely! 😃
Ms Idaho put me on the trail. Hat tip
How’s my favorite Feral !
Good I hope ☺
The article above is correct.
The top Fed pig got a hammered on questioning in the Senate, giving no definitive anwsers and skirting questions to one senator he thought he was off the hook, then another senator showed him a picture of the spy/weapon? He couldn’t backtrack with that evidence and made a fool of himself trying to walk back what he had previously said.
The good part is that now more people are waking up to the fact that all is not was is said to be.
Some serious questions are now being asked.
I didn’t read the article as I don’t go through the give them email crap.
I did however watch to grilling of the head pig on rumble.
My reply to Betsy below explains posting.
Hope you been keeping you nails sharp 😜
MUNGREL!!!!!!you mangy mutt ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ big grin!!
First: I’m 😢 you’re hurting. Happy you responded. You used up one of my nine lives today. One I gladly gave up 😊
Second: The epoch article I could read in entirety last night. Today email wall. Most of what I could remember was it described event feb 12, using lrad sonic weapon. Someone on gab, name salty Sheila has a photo posted with accompanying description of three blokes had serious injuries. Unsure if sonic was the only crowd control method used.
Odd observation in woods, not much to indicate if it’s anything yet. Will keep on alert status. Hopefully it’s just the foolish observations of an old person. 😉
Update on my earlier post to you about the microwaves.
Just saw a tweet with picture from the protests. Clearly seen is something called LRADs, a sound weapon, by the AFP, “in order to deter protesters at long range. Those at close range can be badly burned and suffer other serious side effects. This is a weapon of war is used against Aussies.” Exactly what that weeping distressed woman was telling a reporter.
Keep your ears and eyes open for any more about this. If true, Mungrel, I’d say the term “war crime” would be appropriate. And I’d say also it would not surprise me that this would be true. LBT
I’m checking more into it, same old bullshit trying to sort the “shit from the clay” ! Hey I wonder if pops nipper would like that saying. 😜😜😝
He’s heard the word definitely! Last week I was trying not to say it so I was saying “shiite”. He said, “Grandpa you are saying the s word.” My reply was, “I’m not saying it, I am saying shiite.”
He, “what is shiite?’
Me, “I kind of muslim, it’s when you don’t want to say the s word.”
Maybe will keep that one for a bit later. 😆
🤭
Methinks it’s a little outside his age range….so no is my advice.😉💓
Please! Your research would be much appreciated! (Then we’ll scrounge around the “inter webs”..it’s what we do!)
When you’re up to it…
“There was a moment when Moses had the nerve to ask God what his name is. God was gracious enough to answer, and the name he gave is recorded in the original Hebrew as YHWH.
Over time we’ve arbitrarily added an “a” and an “e” in there to get YaHWeH, presumably because we have a desire for vowels. But scholars and rabbis have noted that the letters YHWH represent breathing sounds, or respirated consonants. When pronounced without intervening vowels, it actually sounds like breathing. YH (inhale): WH (exhale).
So a baby’s first cry, his first breath, speaks the name of God. A deep sigh calls His name – or a groan or gasp that is too heavy for mere words. Even an atheist would speak His name unaware that their very breathe is giving constant acknowledgment to God. Likewise, a person leaves this earth with their last breath, when God’s name is no longer filling their lungs.
So when I can’t utter anything else, my cry calls out His name.
Being alive means I speak His name constantly. Is it heard the loudest when I’m the quietest?
In sadness, we breathe heavy sighs. In joy, our lungs feel almost like they will burst. In fear we hold our breath and have to be told to breathe slowly to help us calm down. When we’re about to do something hard, we take a deep breath to find our courage.
When I think about it, breathing is giving him praise. Even in the hardest moments!”
Especially in the hardest moments I think.
Union of prayers!
There are millions crying out to Him now, O Lord, hear our prayer🙏
Good Morning sleepyhead ❤️
Howdy do, Cat. What a lovely post you left us with. Truly beautiful, girl. 💓
Shucks, I’m only a messenger. Kinda like a relay race. At citizen free press, beer for my Texan horses handed me the baton. Hopefully the baton was exchanged to the next runner. 😉
Cat, just read it to my bride. She loved it.
🥰 that makes me especially delighted. ❤️
😍
Grace to you Bet n good morning ☀️
And to you, my dear friend, as always.
With Him all things are possible
Preach it! ✝️
Go girl!
This is great, FC! 🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for the Sibelius, Garrison.💓. Most know him for “Finlandia”. But for me, this is his masterpiece, and I’ve loved it since I first heard it. It’s not hard to see those new and making their way in the twilight, in the mists. One of the most stunning pieces ever written.
Of course I meant “see those swans”…😊
Back when I had to make an all-day drive to my mom’s house I found that I really enjoyed listening to Sibelious’ symphonies. Good sound system, sunroof open on a bright, cold day and his 1st or 2nd symphony playing really made the long miles go by quickly.
Good choices. You might like Nielson’s. The names that have been given to them are inspirational. I can’t remember which number it is but one is called “The Inextinguishable”. Powerful name, powerful symphony.
But for sheer peace and reflection, you can’t beat what you posted today.
🙂

Morning Ya’ll , 🙂
Morning, jay💓.
I only recently learned that this song, “Crazy” was written by Willie Nelson, sort of jump started his musical career.
He did? Wow! Saw his live performance of crazy in the 80’s. This info made it more endearing ❤️ thanks 😊
Wifey and I saw him in the early 90ies in Houston. There was that bar that opened on 1960, it was called “Willie’s Nightlife” or something like that. Could have been associated with him. So that weekend he did several shows. The one that we went to wasn’t too crowded, we were 5 yards from the little stage. He and his band went non-stop for 2 and a half hours. The people were buying him shots. Willie made sure to dip his lips in each one and then passed them on to the band.
Grandpa at the time wasn’t a grandpa and drank iced tea only.
Years later when Willie decided to show his politics it kind of spoiled it for me.
Truth be told a friend had extra concert ticket. Not really a fan of willies but No one would go with my friend . Felt bad for him so I rearranged things and went. Turns out, I enjoyed the concert
17 February 1962
Gene Chandler had the top tune on the Billboard Pop chart with “The Duke Of Earl”, the first of his six US chart hits.
17 February 1966
The Beach Boys begin recording sessions for Brian Wilson’s masterpiece, “Good Vibrations”. Multiple layered overdubs spread out over eleven sessions would make this the most expensive single ever recorded to date. Although the record would top charts around the world and sell millions of copies, it would be The Beach Boys’ last to reach the Billboard Top 10 for ten years.
17 February 1971
James Taylor makes his TV debut on ABC’s Johnny Cash Show.

I saw a meme the other day , it has made me SMILE ever since, it said :
Face the days challenge with all the confidence of a four year old , wearing a Batman T – shirt !
🙂
You made me think of a question my 9 year old granddaughter asked her mother, my daughter.
She said, “Mama, who is the First Lady?” And before it could be answered, her 7 year old sister said, “Dolly Parton.”
My daughter said she wouldn’t be correcting her.
Ahhhhh. First laugh of the day.
What a joy!
The one who thinks Dolly Parton is the First Lady is a pistol. I would expect no less of her, one of the triplets. The other two are boys. She’s got her hands full.😉
Triplet fun!
No kidding! We know who’s the leader of the pack. There’s always one, as you know😉
And by she, in this case, I mean the 7 year old keeping her brothers in line.
😂 it’s true 😉
😂
How fun!
Happy Cursday, Treepers!

That is really cute.

No one articulates the spiritual battle we are currently in worldwide quite like Pastor Danny Jones of Northlake Baptist Church. This is a Wednesday night Bible Study. Lesson begins at 4:35 mark. I have been listening to Pastor Danny Jones since his first COVID sermon back in April of 2020. He did the digging and research WELL BEFORE anyone else began looking into the COVID pandemic and his video was viewed by millions. God is good, and like He did through His prophets of old, He is warning. Will we listen?
Thanks much for your informative post. ✝️

By the way, I was going to boast about my humility after reading your devotional post above, but my pride kept me from doing so.

Sitting at the terminal waiting for my load to be ready. They say they’re short dock workers.
But I suspect the real reason is they hauled a lot of dunnage trailers here from the Vandalia terminal to sort the dunnage because the cross dock there was overloaded.
Rah and other Traveling Treepers:
be safe out there and I hope your route is not thru the northern end of IL, weather looks to get nasty…! I was surprised to see the ‘state flower’ of IL, blooming in winter, orange and white construction barrels…lots of road construction I-57 northbound just over the Ohio River Bridge.
The I-80 route thru New Lenox area to the I-80-I-55 junction…construction and its a huge mess. And newly laid asphalt is already full of pot holes. Go figure…
Ground report: The troopers were issuing lots of tickets in Georgia. Lots or trucks on the rural exits, resting at night. Overnight, Official rest areas full of trucks! My impression out of the arrive alive state, more trucks heading south than north on my departure day…I did notice more plain containers rather than corporate types moving along.
The Good Lord and the second amendment… still revered in TN & KY.
Not too much convoy interest verbalized by the folks I conversed with, at Loves and Flying J. “one short haired friend of Jesus in a cherry red micro van” made it home, LOL.
This trip always humbles me and leaves lots of time for contemplation and always thankful to my heavenly co-pilots, that see to my safety while traveling.
Godspeed and safety to all the “Traveling Treepers”, who do that to make a living and keep the economy roaring!
Great post AG!
Texas A&M Aggie?
Great post btw. Same to you.
Serious questions:
What is a cross dock, and why so many dunnage trailers?

Greetings Treepers!
Last eve, while scanning yesterday’s OT, I read about your armadillo experiences. Here’s my first:
After I got out of school, I went to work for a Texas based outfit. We gave away “Armadillo Droppings” in hospitals, doctor and nurse conventions, at sales meetings for distributors, etc.
You should have seen the looks I got when I asked if they’d ever had an armadillo dropping.
Marketing 101. Lots of fun. All part of Texas beauty and tradition, of course.
About 7? years later we moved our little family to Texas.
https://armadillo-candy-company.myshopify.com/products/armadillo-droppings
Kinda like barker eggs!!! 😂
And oh we are the richer for your being here, Frank.💓
You should check out the link I left because the Armadillo Droppings are made in Austin…your alma mater town.
It’ll sweeten your day.
Pwomiss
As long as they taste better than mountain oysters, I’m in!!
PS!! I have disowned my alma mater. They’ve gone to the darkest dark side😉
And I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of armadillos on the side of the road (roadkill), on their back with a beer can stuck between their legs.
Yeehaaawww.
Magnificent ❤️
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.

Good Morning ☀️ treepers!
FYI, I’m keeping my stiletto heels off my feet to tiptoe around. Don’t want to disturb any late sleepers today. 😎
Good morning Feral and friends.
“This is the day the Lord made. Let us rejoice and be glad!”
Good Morning old school. Been reading your posts, love your spunk! ❤️

Amen, oldschool.💓

We had essentially nothing rain-wise. But that old wind is whipping up. We inch ever closer to spring, but not yet.

The initiative against depression
https://utmost.org/classic/today/
If we do a thing in order to overcome depression, we deepen the depression; but if the Spirit of God makes us feel intuitively that we must do the thing, and we do it, the depression is gone. Immediately we arise and obey, we enter on a higher plane of life.
Why pay a therapist? This help is freely given and much more effective, right Cat?
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
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
and the
50th Psalm (Septuagint)
Psalm 51 (Masoretic)
Reading the recent reports from Sundance – one by one, the conspiracy “theories” are proving to be grim reality.
It is now beyond all doubt that the Lockdown was intended as the coup d ‘grace for Liberty and her Deplorables in the US, Canada and Australia. Liberalism, wokism and bipartisanship were just a slow creep to force these last bastions of freedom, into submission as global nation-states.
But the ugly face of Fascism cannot be hidden from a freeman – eventually the totalitarian must put a gun to our head.
so sorry – posted on wrong thread
No matter. It’s an horrific disturbing truth that needs to be seen and repeated…often…for those who are in the dark about what they cheer on.
It belongs here too! Thanks 🙏
Mornin’ infidels.

Great post 👍
Hearing rumblings of boa and chase financials getting shaky. First hand account of shakiness 🤷♀️
Keep an eye a close one on your bank info. Got it again.. last night. Earlier this week.. it was my capital one acct, and my boa checking/debit card. Then boa double ach debits on one vender from my checking. To now my boa credit card.. forgiven transaction fees and Netflix. (Netflix was never given my credit card #.) It’s an ACH out of my checking. Boa sd. It’s a different vender taking money than the normal one that withdraws from the correct acct. So now.. all my cards and accts are frozen.
Cant hurt to check stuff guys just saying
Prime tried that on my telephone man, so he canceled them and went after the bank that was trying to get into his account 😛
My son recently a multi-thousand dollar tax garnishment put on his bank account from a county he does not even have property in. The Bank refused to correct the “error”, neither would the county who placed it. Bank says they have no power to remove a government garnishment. The county says they have no power to open an inquiry into the bank’s records.
Thank you, Cat!! Moving funds out of BoA to a state bank anyway., for whatever safety it may give us. Don’t trust a big bank anymore, especially one whose CEO donate heavily to BLM and Planned Parenthood.
Catl! Are you okay? I’m sensing more than a little distress from your post, girl. You ARE in touch with your banks, yes??
Awww…I’m fine. I got played by money world late last year. Nipped that one. This was my friend’s discovery today. Suggested to my treehouse friends to keep an eye on finances This is the second occurrence for them. In two weeks. Gets a little edgy since knows the in and outs of banking and credit industry. 😉 ❤️
Good…banks are necessary evils. The big ones in particular.
We use smaller local banks and credit unions.
Good morning from the southern USA. I need the opinions / suggestions from my fellow Treepers on the best possible or most trustworthy email service.
I am planning to change my internet service and I currently use their email service. I understand Proton mail is supposed to be good however I have read they have willingly turned emails over to governments. I may be wrong about that information so any & all suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
This article has reviews about alternative services for numerous products. Excellent info for the email services is included.

Thank you.
This one, Flyover, is a needful reminder for all we endure today. “The Lord is there” will be repeated by me many times this day, and all the days after.🙏
Say it Loud
Say it PROUD
Dear Lord, may i have a word?
please protect the canadian truckers and their allies.
they are leading the fight against
those who foolishly fancy themselves kings.
these are straight-forward people,
no guile, no pretentiousness, no manipulativeness.
they wage this fight with eyes wide open,
willing to face the consequences of their actions,
yet never raise a hand to their persecutors.
they ask for the freedom to work hard, support their families,
and provide goods to a nation.
their demonstration has awakened millions to the tyranny of the usurpers.
please strengthen them and guide them to victory over their enemies, one and all.
🙏
Lord, hear our fervent prayers.🙏
Amen!
One word from God!
Ever see a bad switch flicker the power off and on?
Once this world gets the connection AGAIN the power will be on and Satan will be dealing directly with God and his angels.
The step of faith is key, truckers took it. THAT is what scares these evil minions, not the guns, God.
That step is far greater than you will ever TRY, it is only in faith you can make it.
I’m liking your thinking palerider ❤️
One year without Rush Limbaugh – 5 lessons he left us on how to handle the left
.
Of this I am sure, whenever news hits, millions wonder, “What would Rush say?”

This may seem obvious but it is not. Doing good works to be righteous is futile, it’s the love of God that produces good works. When man attempts anything on his own it is as filthy rags. In Christ it is blessed and reaps a blessed harvest. Applies to giving and all things. The law is gone, it is love that must motivate.
When a man is one with God his actions can be blessed, beauty for ashes, oil of joy for mourning. His ways become righteous acts and that is why Gods word states “if God be for you who can be against you.” All good comes from God, in Christ we become one with God.

A thought about the Russians on the Ukraine border:
Putin does not have to invade Ukraine. As long as the US and EU keep pushing the threat of invasion it will massively help Putin by helping keep the oil price high and rising.
The US solution is not to heighten the alarmist invasion narrative but to bring down the oil and gas prices by taking off all the stifling regulations and restrictions that have been imposed since Jan 2021.
The EU solution is to encourage the importation of gas from the new Israeli fields and abandoning their foolish 100% renewables strategy.
Neither will be done because it would mean relinquishing a lot of government control to the private, job creating sector and reduce dependence of many on the government teats.
I had a thought yesterday that the real Russian collusion was the Bama/biden administration enriching Putin and Russia by drumming up the threat of invasion of Ukraine. Paying Vlad to keep silent?
For another similar theme, do a search for the phrase “Kings of the Earth.” Here is a sample:
2 Chronicles 9:22 Thus King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.
Psalm 89:27 And I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.
Isaiah 24:21 On that day the Lord will punish the host of heaven, in heaven, and the kings of the earth, on the earth.
Ezekiel 27:33 When your wares came from the seas, you satisfied many peoples; with your abundant wealth and merchandise you enriched the kings of the earth.
Revelation 6:15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. . .
Every single one is equal at the foot of the cross.
One of my competitors died 3 days ago. Godless.

Just a heads up, friends!!
This morning we saw an ad for a candidate who spewed all the right talking points for those of us wanting principled conservatives in office. Education, immigration, spending, ethics etc.
What was missing, however, was his political affiliation. Nowhere did he say which party he was representing. Republican? Democrat? We are none the wiser.
This what they are doing. Dems running as Republicans. Check on all candidates you might like to BE SURE each declares a party affiliation. There’s no guarantee certainly. But this is a telltale tactic which has been used by wolves in sheep’s clothing, and no doubt will be used this election as well.
Forewarned is forearmed.
good advice!
this is done all the time in illinois –
d’s spout r talking points and
r’s don’t identify with a party affiliation at all!😂
one has to dig REALLY deep to find out what party they represent before elected….
whereupon they turn into a severe, or even worse, a pelosi democrat.
(see sean casten, il 6, now point man for gun control.)
Here in Texas, I’m looking at the reprehensible Dan Crenshaw, a Dem in all but name. Ben Sasse ran as a tea party candidate. He even fooled Mark Levin as I remember. Research must be done.
well, i think we can call that a congressional district tie!🤣🤣
(although i give you the edge on crenshaw’s smarminess….)
Thank you. He really is a piece of work. He thinks we can’t see him. I surely do hope his constituents have his number.
I-65 south, mm 235, Indiana. Major pile up. Both lanes at a standstill.
And I was making darn good time too!
I’ve got 5:05 on my 14 and 4:29 on my drive time. It’s a snowing and blowing but I am sure that if others would quit plying bumper cars I could make it.
Still sitting. I hr and 25 min now.
My British husband who has driven big vehicles in the worst sort of weather, snow included, in Britain and on the Continent was horrified when we moved back to observe how people drove here in rotten weather with the dangerous roads. I’m so glad you are stationary as opposed to being in the middle of it all🙏
Still sitting. Been 3 hrs and 10 min. Cannot make it home now and will have to find a place to park and take a break once we get rolling.
Dang, rah…I am so sorry.
Hey! I’m not driving for miles. It all pays the same. I’m safe in a rest area to take my 10.
I feel sorry for those ongoing north bound. Between the 235 mm where I was stuck in that backup to here at this rest area where I’m parked which is a distance of about 45 miles I passed three total road blockages.
About a dozen big trucks and I don’t know how many 4 wheelers involved.
Based on what I saw it looked like following too close or not breaking early enough to get stopped.
In conditions like these back off until you think your good and then back off some more.
Saw a dry bulk carrier completely demolished. Three big trucks with their whole front end torn off or smashed in. Three big trucks side by side like they were parked at an angle with their noses in the cable barrier in the medium. Plus I don’t know how many 4 wheelers banged up and/or in the ditch or the medium.
Our Republican Governor sucks. Typical machine politician with microscopic testicles.
There really is no excuse for these road conditions on the major north-south interstate in Indiana. Pathetic!
That’s a relief. I had visions of you stuck in a long queque. Dear Lord!!!! Too close indeed.and on unforgiving roads. This way disaster always lies.
Glad that you are safe. Sweet dreams.
Ouch. Glad you posted. I already know will – hang tough. Stay safe. 🤛
Drone footage of the New Zealand Freedom Convoy outside Parliament. Canada needed this boost. https://gettr.com/comment/cnzewd2891
Great footage. Best scenery in NZ are freedom lovers who won’t take a knee.
Thanks again
