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 †

The conformist does what he is told regardless of what is right
The moralist does what is right regardless of what he is told
Be the moralist.
Amen, griever. Thank you. To God be the glory!
I’ll second that. 🙌
I’ve always called myself a conformist. I was kind of proud of it growing up. Youngest of seven. Moved to many
different towns/schools all my life. Always avoid confrotation and never ever spoke up for myself.
The times….they are a’changing me. I love your posts. Saved the words to read over and over.
Thanks griever
Have more than you show, speak less than you know.
It took me decades but I finally learned to speak up when appropriate. And sometimes when it wasn’t. 😉
Good morning, griever. Short, simple and true.
Good morning, Betsy, hope you slept well after the dental adventure 😀.
Good morning, G💓 Yes, thank you, I did. My pearly whites were so white that we thought the security light had gone on several times. Next adventure on 6 months😁
Good morning, griever! One of the most important things that I’ve tried to teach my children is that you’ll never go wrong by doing what’s right.
THE truth!!!

Good morning and amen, WP, says one of those sheep.💓
Pepe’ Romero is arguably he greatest living classical guitarist . . .
Oh, well. Two versions of the same piece. Pardon my bad editing . . .
It is nice that he lives in Del Mar, CA north of San Diego. He still gives impromptu concerts I think around town. Too bad it is not 1964 again when he, his father, and brothers played together. There is an album of them playing in Carnegie Hall. Still not sure how they make guitars sound like that. Physically impossible.
Pepe’ always credits his father, for his musical abilities. Celendonio’s nurturing served to create virtuosity in both flamenco and classical playing in all of his sons. The blending of the two techniques lends a distinctive precision to their playing so that you can tell a Romero recording just by listening to it. And then there’s their choice of guitars. Celendonio introduced his sons to Cordoba luthier, Miguel Rodrigues who’s classic instruments have a sharper “southern Spain” sound when compared to, say, the rounder”Madrid sound” of Segovia’s Ramirez.
When I was in Britain, I purchased the Boccherini guitar quintet and quartets, performed by the Romeros, on Deutsche Grammophon. It remains a prized possession for me.
You’re excused, said one who has no skills in editing whatsoever!😉🤗
Good morning Garrison.💓 And how coincidental you should offer us Pepe this morning. Yesterday when I got back into the car from my dental visit, the Giuliani Grand Overture was just starting, Pepe Romero playing. A seemingly simple piece. Listen closely and it is anything but. It seemed he had gown additional fingers to play it so intricate was it. And I thought immediately and strongly of you.
And look! Here you are this morning with the man himself. Some celestial communication? Might be.🤗
Pepe’s Giuliani recordings are the absolute best. 🙂
Giuliani is much ignored. It’s a pity, because his works are so enjoyable. Light, happy, tuneful, and the artist playing them has to be perfect in his execution.
I know it’s a strange metaphor but it really is like basic good cooking… there is no place to hide if mistakes are made.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
Amen!
Prayer of Saint Ioannikios the Great of Bithynia (+ 846)

50th Psalm (Septuagint)
Psalm 51 (Masoretic)
I think we are past time trying to “legislate” our way out of this. The adversary threw out the rule book, the Constitution, the baby, and the bath water. We need to lock them out of the Statehouses and take away their pens. When a tyrannical machine is in overdrive, remove its fuel.

On weekend leave from marine training, The Everly Brothers appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show. Wearing full uniform and regulation cropped hair, the duo sang their new single, “Crying In The Rain”

After a short series of minor hits, The Buckinghams score their first US Top 10 smash when “Kind Of A Drag” reaches number 1.

The third time would be the charm for a Topeka based group called Kansas. After scoring Top 40 hits with “Carry On Wayward Son” (#11) and “Point Of Know Return” (#28), “Dust In The Wind” entered the Billboard chart on its way to becoming the group’s only Top 10 hit.
Awww. Bunny is accessorizing ❤️
Good morning, Cat🤗
Good morning, Cat. Reminds me of a time quite a few years ago. At the gun shop I frequented at the time I had my eye on a beautiful Dirty Harry gun. A Smith and Wesson in .44 Magnum. That was before all the other big magnum calibers showed up. So as our anniversary day approached my bride went in and asked to buy it. The guy was quite shocked and tried gently explaining to her that probably it was not a good idea, that it was too much gun for her. She had to let him in on the plot.
So I still have that gorgeous anniversary present. Had to change the walnut grips with rubber ones, though. Otherwise every time I shot it I got the checkering imprinted on my hands. 😁❤️
😂 I really like your bride’s style, choice of weapon and purchase presentationgrandpa ❤️
Good Morning to you both! I’ll be chuckling over that vision allll day long 😂
Ha!!! What a woman your bride is, as I’ve commented before. Shame about the grips but as it is a working piece, glad you did the necessaries. I can just see you, gun in hand sayng, “Well do you, punk?” should the occasion arise (hoping it won’t, of course)
So believable was the actor in the antagonist role in that iconic movie, he said he couldn’t get hired for anything else IIRK.
IIRC!!! NOT K…🙄
I maybe saying also, go ahead, make my day! 😁
Practice in front of the mirror so you get the facial expressions just right. You might be hauled off to the asylum, but at least you’d be in character.😁
😂
My hubby loves his S&W too. I am partial to my Colt 357. Lots of power there too.
357 Mag is a very versatile cartridge if your hand and wrist are up to it. And one of the great advantages is that you can practice with .38 special all day long.
I use the .38 special to practice with. My hand and wrist do not take kindly to too much practice with the .357. My hubby reloads so I can do some shooting. Getting supplies to reload has been a problem but that is getting better.
Finally, the heir to Mony Python’s Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, aka the Vorpal Bunny.

Thank You Jim in TN. That was great. I really miss Monty Python. I don’t remember this one but I did like the one with “just a flesh wound”. Have not seen any of them in a few years. You brought back some great, funny memories.
Shocked that Kansas only had 1 top 10 hit… they’ve recorded some great songs.
Nice bunny. Beautiful gun!!
Good morning everyone!
Winds came thru from Texas last night. Thought I’d repay the favor 😉 🎶 🎵
Happy demon hunting !
I read your posts on yesterday’s OT, to late to respond though.
My paw is ok, I’ll talk to ms ‘lucky’ idaho about it , and no Leenie I didn’t slip on my kennel step !
I left a few posts on mp1 running amoke mungrel style you mob might like.
The “device” used in Canberra is a “listening” device, that’s it, I was correct in my first post about this, my source is military.
However I discovered a more sinister mind control plot, I’ll try to explain,two examples of many, miss salty burnt kissers, sunburnt, ok word gets out that a “super weapon” was used, well a usefull idiot at best because only the fear of ” something negative” wanting to happen happened, egotistical wannabe patriots hero.
Second example, the kid filmed getting jabbed at school, in the vid she collapsed to the ground and all reports said she dropped dead from the jab, not true, the mother of the child put out a video of the very much alive kid explaining that she had fainted, that then bourgeois forth the amount of people that do actually faint after an injection of any sort.
Don’t get me wrong here the jab to me is the devil’s poison.
Point is the dissimformation by used by both sides at “egging” on the other with false narratives has taken on a new twist in the propaganda war.
Although stupid and unaware of the big picture dangers girl one played right into their hands, unwittingly I believe but nevertheless helped fuel confusion.
Woman two, although extremely ignorant still had to dispell the obvious fact that her was very much alive.
The situation then arrissers of both government and domestic trolls trying to enforce one projection or another, this in turn leads to the obvious division between the “people” ignorant or not that pertains to the evil planetary takeover.
Don’t get sucked in to either side.
Mungrel is unique ( no ego) .
God gave me, me, I really don’t have to look any place elsewhere !
I can explain if any you mob want to go there ?
But in the meantime never get sucked in to the balls of confusion that rattle around other people’s heads.
P.s am I ostracized now 😜
Morning/evening mungrel. ❤️
Thanks for the best intel. 💋
Off topic, wanted to catch you, very intrigued on the atomwaffle division. Is that a new breakfast? 😉
Midnight 01 here, so l suppose it’s just “Goodaye” as usual .
Poster on MP looked em up for me, you know the “Atomwaffen” I responded according to mungrel protocols without Adrem hassles so thats one good.
Left a song reply on MP for you, it ill bring your claws out I know, but they will retract when you see the funny side ( l hope 😒)!!!! .
I’ve had an birthday anniversary you wouldn’t believe, like most of my Mungrel life my barkers eggs tend to fend off all preditors one way or another !
Betsy knows a bit about my youngest pups but the subject of mother is unprintable here, I’ll post more here soon, I’ll just have to snuggle up in my kennel for a while, you know how it is with your catnaps an all .😛
About that song…left you msg on mp. Check it out after your slumber.
Sleep well, heal well. 😉
I do know. It’s a shame about the other. Such are the complicated relationships that we never plan for.
And this is only one reason you are a treasured tree dweller with us, M. To add context and truth to so much which is out there. A completely trusted “spy in the camp”. Thank you for that. Unique you are, a one of…or “off” if you’re a Brit😉 We wouldn’t change a thing about you. You are indeed are as God made you. Bless your mungrel heart…💓🙏LBT
Good morning Betsy ☀️
Think I heard mungrel growling that he had a good birthday. Does a heart good, huh? ❤️
Note to self….schedule a refresher sewing class. 😉
Oh I’ll say it does! Don’t sign me up for that class!!!
In junior high school I was president of our home maker’s club. Half the year was dedicated to sewing (which I hated because I was no good at it), the other half to cooking (which I loved because I was good at that). Every curse word I know came from my struggling with sewing, and because I irrationally expected to be able to put a couture piece together and look as if I belonged on every famous catwalk in the world.
It didn’t help that my BFF at the time could actually do that. At our end of the year modeling show, there was I in a dress which required seams and a zipper only, while she stood there in a Vogue pattern tweed suit with matching hat…she was tall and statuesque, and I was (as I am to this day) short and definitely not model-y.
My oldest granddaughter at 13 has her own sewing machine, and last year for Halloween turned out the most delicious fairy costume…yards of netting and satin, complete with her wand and wings. Perfection. She did NOT get her abilties from me, I assure you.
So you go ahead and sign up for that refresher course. My name won’t be on the class roster😉💓
Good evening, mate and good night. May your sleep be healing and your paw back to normal. Great to have someone like you on the ground that can separate the “sh!t from the clay.” 😜🙃
Cheers
Okie, doky, wish I had a auto trans at the moment !
Know exactly what you are talking about. When I had my right rotator cuff operated on I had a 02 Mustang gt with a manual. Shifting gears for a while was very interesting to say the least but helped rehab it faster.
I bet pressing the clutch or the break is a lot of “fun”. Hang in there, son. Eventually it will get better. 🙏🙏🙏
Bloody sore I’ll tell ya that, read your above post, I had a 357 once, got rid of it, not legal, heat was onto me over fighting a peodophile ring and I couldn’t take the risk.
I see you got your new mancave happening, cool, every second bloke here has a mancave, some refer to it as the “marriage keeper” ! 😜😜
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.

“The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?”
Psalms 118:6 (KJV)

BABY LIVES MATTER
Mornin’ infidels.
The internet is forever. He seems to have forgotten.
He doesn’t care.
As is obvious.
All the little hitlers seem to think that they are exempt from judgement day.
Both in this world and in the next.
Most little hitlers fail to escape judgement in this world.
And we have it on good authority that no one escapes judgement in the next.
Amen, Jim! You finished my thought. And I might add the lesser the judgement in this world the bigger the interest that accrues for the next one.
Yes, for them there is only the here and now. Like those who actually believe they are immune from death. But if by chance they have to go, they can take all their wealth with them. And by their wealth, I mean “their wealth.”
Bore da, Treepers!
Glory to God for all things.
Goodaye LS! Blessed be His Holy Name!
Good afternoon, Lonestar😊

Happy Friday Everyone!
Joe Dan Gorman of Intellectual Froglegs has released a fabulous half hour interview with Pastor Greg Locke. Enjoy!
Conversation with Pastor Greg Locke
https://www.intellectualfroglegs.com/blog/conversation-with-pastor-greg-locke
P.S. Joe Dan’s Auntie Jean made it. Still 93. Still above dirt and kickin’!
Someone recently shared this story with me, and I tho’t it was well worth sharing with everyone here. Right after reading this I got an alert from Epoch Times with an article about how the best way to stave off dementia was to be around positive people. Timing is everything! I tho’t the two go hand in hand. I will share that link at the end of the story.
“I was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing I noticed was the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for me.
He handed me a laminated card and said, ‘I’m Wasu, your driver. While I’m loading your bags in the trunk, I’d like you to read my mission statement.’
Taken aback, I read the card. It said, ‘Wasu’s Mission Statement: To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest, and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.’
This blew me away. Especially when I noticed the inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!
As he slid behind the wheel, Wasu said, ‘Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos of regular and one of decaf.’
I said jokingly, ‘No, I’d prefer a soft drink.’
Wasu smiled and said, ‘No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, lassi, water, and orange juice.’
Almost stuttering, I said, ‘I’ll take a lassi since I’ve never had one before.’
Handing me my drink, Wasu said, ‘If you’d like something to read, I have Good Housekeeping magazine, Reader’s Digest, The Bible, and a Travel + Leisure magazine.’
As we were pulling away, Wasu handed me another laminated card, ‘These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you’d like to listen to the radio.’
And as if that weren’t enough, Wasu told me he had the heater on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for me.
Then he advised me of the best route to my destination for that time of day. He also let me know he’d be happy to chat and tell me about some of the sights or, if I preferred, to leave me with my own thoughts.
‘Tell me, Wasu,’ I was amazed and asked him, ‘have you always served customers like this?’
Wasu smiled into the rear view mirror. ‘No, not always. In fact, it’s only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard about power of choice one day.’
‘Power of choice is that you can be a duck or an eagle. If you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you’ll rarely disappoint yourself. Stop complaining! Don’t be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.’
‘That hit me right,’ said Wasu. He continued and said, ‘It is about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other cabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.’
‘I take it that has paid off for you,’ I said.
‘It sure has,’ Wasu replied. ‘My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year, I’ll probably quadruple it. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on it.’
Wasu made a different choice. He decided to stop quacking like ducks and start soaring like eagles.
I hope we all decide to soar like an eagle and not quack like a duck.”

To Cut Your Dementia Risk, Grow Old With an Optimist?

My mother died of early onset Alzheimer’s brought on by a broken heart. I missed a lot of years with her because of some very evil people who still walk this earth. I do my best to avoid pitfalls such as pessimism and unhealthy habits, so that I can keep my mind and body clean and clear. It is good to have reinforcements once in awhile. 🙂
😊 ☺️ 🥰 ❤️

no more quacking for me
Oh Lord love him!!!!! That is one powerful piece. I’m so glad you posted that! Bless him. He’s one smart guy. And I bet he feels better in himself for it. I absolutely LOVE this!! Thank you💓
I’m so sorry about your mother. There is no grief like thinking about what might have been. You are so right. We could all use reinforcements at different times in our lives. What you have posted is a good one, and it will stick with me. Bless you #45.

Hmmm, I wouldn’t want to be in the chinese gubmint place for all the money in the world.
I posted this on the other thread as well:
Don’t disappear! Give this website address and your log- in info to someone you love and trust, so that if you can’t connect, someone will be able to.
( Anyone see a flaw in that… I couldn’t find one…)
Hi folks, just wanted to share what happened to me yesterday. Tried to get in to see primary doctor for 3 days. The place where I go has ct scanner onsite. Finally got in touch with a nurse she said doc went home sick. Told me to go to ER. As much as I didn’t want to go that route I felt it was urgent as I have had diverticulitis/diverticulosis before, and afraid I have it again. Got to ER Doc came in and I was watching a livestream of Ottawa on my iPad. He was inquisitive and I told him about the mandates and how the truckers were there protesting. I said I had done considerable research on my own and made a choice for myself based on all that I had read. I didn’t say if I was jabbed or not. I said my body my choice. He got very upset and said he was a doctor. I’m pretty sure in his mind he wanted to say, “I am THE doctor. He has 2 little ones and can’t wait till they can take the jab. He then said that when I was dying of Covid as he looks down on me, he said you will have wished you got the “vaccination”. I was gobsmacked at that statement. After CT scan I asked the nurse to remove the IV. He said that wasn’t protocol and he couldn’t do that. I asked him again to please remove the IV. Not until I would leave with that needle in my arm did he then pay attention. He said to me I had been running the show from the beginning. I have no idea what this person was talking about. Perhaps the loss of control over another riled him. The needle was starting to really hurt but he didn’t even acknowledge. So much tunnel vision.what surprised me was the doctor had no idea what was happening in Canada! Anyway I left without seeing the good “doctor”. I went to local mental health care, crying and upset that I was treated or in essence abused by the facility I had come from. They suggested I might talk to the admin of the facility to let them know how I was treated. I was so shy as a girl, very much an introvert if you will. Confrontation was never my thing. I have nobody, friends gone, family gone, neighbors doing their own thing. Might sound like whining but just stating how things are in my little community. Read the summary of docs notes. Said he had tried to explain how important it was to take the jab for my health. Wrote that I thought Covid was hoax and the virus was poison. I did not say those things. In ending he wrote not sure if I was upset or not when I left. He did call my phone later and said I did have diverticulosis. I didn’t answer, voice mail. So this is long and boring and I thank whoever reads this. I will not comply. I weep for humanity. Watching the live streams in Ottawa, days ago kids in bouncy castles, food being cooked for whomever was hungry.The hugs that were given, the prayers that were said, the love for each other was amazing .This is only the beginning. Folks being arrested for just walking down the street. This is our neighborhood too. The world is watching. Where we go one we go all. Love to all you wonderful people. Blessings
Ginny, you are not alone. People here (me) care. ❤️
Forgot to say, had the unfortunate luck, 6 months ago,to be treated by the other partner at my doctors office. Idiot proudly said “I bet you a years salary I’ll be living longer than you because I got the vaccine and you smoke.” Since then, I’ve been staring him down with smiling eyes. He breaks gaze first. I’m figuring on collecting on the bet and cheerfully remind him he might have to pay up. Stay strong Ginny. There’s people and then there’s people. Sounds like you’re our kind of people ❤️
Good for you, Cat. A Cheshire cat smile is a good weapon. It deprives him of any oxygen for his sneering pontificating. You go girl!!
Stay with us, Ginny. Unload when you need to. You have to have some sanity in your life. I assure you we are all that. I am so sorry about your wretched encounter with that arrogant condescending jackass.
I have experience with the appalling uncaring NHS across the pond. They killed my father in law. There is no other way to put it. This was 30 years ago and I remember thinking that the US had better health care. Then I moved back her to the US. I couldn’t believe what greeted me health “care” wise.
I no longer trust any medical flunky…and that’s what doctors have become who work in the system (not your bless-ed hubby, ms idaho I hasten to add).
But I am glad you found your voice. We are own advocates. Never be afraid to use it. Never! I pray for your good health. All blessings to you.
If you have the time visit the latest threads on Canada Sundance has put up. You’ll be bolstered by the incredible support and prayers we all offer all of you.💓B
Betsy
Doc and I have devolved since those wonderful years and are now as much at the mercy of the system as anyone else. As we age and develop various problems we gulp with the rest of you.
I wanted our lawyer to add words to our living wills that we will not be tested, we will not be treated for Covid. He didn’t want to do it – we had to write it in ourselves. Dunno how that will hold up going forward tho.
Overall we are better off than most of the folks in our Senior living apartment – but we are not without a need for care. Hoping and praying we can avoid the hospital.
My sense is that we are safer in Idaho than most other places – but you have to have a real problem to discover how good or bad things are.
Ginny is proof positive how bad it can be – hugs Ginny
Yes, age comes to us all when we will eventually be at the mercy of others, hopefully kind people. From the looks of it that’s not going to happen. The medical establishment have their marching orders from Dr Death himself, Ezekiel Emmanuel.
If your living wills are notarized, I can hardly see how they can be ignored. But then this assumes ethics and morals on the behalf of others, and those two things seem to be in very short supply.
I remember my surgeon father saying ( when I was 8…that’s how much of an impression it made on me) he prayed that this country would never adopt the British system of medicine. I never thought we’d see it, but this is exactly what we have done.
The good Lord knows the number of our days. But
I am terrified for my children and grandchildren if we carry on with state sanctioned murder. And this is exactly what is happening. All we can do is leave it in His hands. And trust in Him.B🙏💓
Ginny – you’re my hero – you kept to your beliefs (and trepidations around the lies we’re being sold.) Everyone should read the story of Grace.
https://ouramazinggrace.net/Tragedy-hospital
Ginny….thank you so much for taking the care and time to type this all out. You are not alone….many others have written of similar experiences when they sought out medical care.
You are in the right Tree…we are The Last Refuge, and you are among kindred spirits. ❤️
Ginny, hang out here with us. Praying for you.

Betsy,
did you see where Wales is getting hit by a bad storm this weekend?

I have, Lonestar. I do thank you so much. It’s awful. Go to the Daily Mail UK for better coverage. They can be a bit yellow in their journalism, but when there is any disaster they are the best for detailed coverage and photos.
In 1987 the country’s top BBC weatherman was in the middle of his report when he stopped and said (paraphrasing) that he’d had an email from some woman who said there were ferocious storms in the South of England, trees down, roofs coming off, power lines dangerously down.
He ridiculed her and said it couldn’t be so because it couldn’t. Then the facts came flooding in by others. Oh yes it was true. The most damaging destructive storm ever to hit. This one is way worse. I’ve seen the footage of the winds and the damage. We will try to get in touch tomorrow with my sis in law. Her phone service is very dodgy.
Once we’ve talked to her, I’ll give an update. Bless you for taking the time to post, cariad.
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, G💓
Actor: Slighting Christianity Is the Sign of an Ill-Read Mind
Excerpt:
“We seem to forget that Christian civilization has made the world a better place than it ever was. One of the great glories was the abolition of slavery. And there is still slavery and that makes me very mad.”
He goes on to credit Christianity for the many freedoms we enjoy:
“All the things that we value, the right of free speech, the right of the individual conscience – these evolved in first and second century Roman Christendom where the individual Christian said, ‘I have a right to believe what I believe and not what the emperor tells me.’ And from that our whole idea of democracy and the equality that we have has developed.”

Quip O’Day – Friday February 18, 2022
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts… So in old England , when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them “Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down.”
It’s where we get the phrase “mind your P’s and Q’s”
Home safe and sound. Took on a good load of Chinese food for an early dinner. Belly is full. I’m tired and am going to take a nap.
Already know that I will be in Missouri all week next week, doing the run I did a few weeks ago. Leave out noon on Sunday.
Qurterly bonus was paid this week. Always nice to bring home over $2,200 in a week.
Now it’s nap time. Maybe later I will get up and feel like writing something worth reading.
HOORAH, rah!!! Wow! That is a bundle. Well deserved. You earned every penny good sir. B
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
Amen.
