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 †

Three in One, WP. Jesus is Lord.🙏
O God, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom; Defend us thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely, trusting in thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
Amen!
Good morning, Jeff💓
Amen 🙏

Hi mungrel. Saw you yesterday, trouble is, I can’t decide which one you are. The one in drag, or the great protector? 😂 perhaps leaving me a barkers egg will help me decide 😜
Mungrel was tv star once , master got me job ☺ , so good reality star, got contract 😊 !
Stage name ‘ Wilfred’ sort of drama with a bit of laugh stuff😁
You would like ‘Kat’ episodes 😂 !
You avoided the question. Unless you played both parts 😝 or was grandpa playing a part? 😂
Hi grandpa 🙋♀️
Hi FC, grandpa don’t wear no pink stuff. 😜❤️
So you’re saying the pink stuff is mungrel’s? 😂 I sorta saw you as the great protector type 😉 when I first watched it.
Glad you’re getting some good things your way today. Meaning your stepdad and stuff. 😊 ❤️

And mungrel, your taste for wearing a pink bunny suit will be our secret🤫 it’s okay. I think it’s cute on you. The suit highlights your eyes 😘
I just wanna know! Where are the lovely boards coming from?
Saw Norah live performance in 2o12 in St. Louis. Couldn’t get decent tickets anywhere on east coast…so went to St.Louis to see her for wife’s b-day. Norah was fantastic. We had orchestra seats in the 12th row back from stage, in the center.
Great B-day gift!
Was just thinking about Mose Alison a couple days ago!
Saw him live once at a tiny venue and it was a great show!
🙂 Definitely a jazz icon. Check out the Seventh Son performnce. Ultimate cool, I think . . .
Which reminds me . . .
One more . . .
I’ll definitely be listening to some Mose Alison tomorrow!
Thanks again. 60 years ago, I enjoyed covering Jerry Lee Lewis on the piano for friends. A best friend introduced me to ‘Your Mind’s on Vacation’ and I stole it for every party forever. This version is the best. RIP Mose.
Seriously cool. Thanks for posting! Really takes me back!
Such a fun album!
Good Morning sunny!
This sums up my thoughts on all your postings ❤️ 🎶
Ive got a jar of sunbeams in my pocket 😊
Mungrel interruption ,
Much good 🌞
aw, thanks for that song. Nice wind-up to what’s been a great day.
This song was a fave of me and my sister when we were in elementary school.
Happy Cursday, Treepers! You gotta’ love successful rescue stories. But, really now, you have to celebrate the devoted dog rescurers. Theres no money in this. It’s not a paying living. What make this work is selfless dedication. The dogs and the people who rescue them are heroes!
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

Decreasing for His Purpose
He must increase, but I must decrease. —John 3:30
If you become a necessity to someone else’s life, you are out of God’s will. As a servant, your primary responsibility is to be a “friend of the bridegroom” (John 3:29). When you see a person who is close to grasping the claims of Jesus Christ, you know that your influence has been used in the right direction. And when you begin to see that person in the middle of a difficult and painful struggle, don’t try to prevent it, but pray that his difficulty will grow even ten times stronger, until no power on earth or in hell could hold him away from Jesus Christ. Over and over again, we try to be amateur providences in someone’s life. We are indeed amateurs, coming in and actually preventing God’s will and saying, “This person should not have to experience this difficulty.” Instead of being friends of the Bridegroom, our sympathy gets in the way. One day that person will say to us, “You are a thief; you stole my desire to follow Jesus, and because of you I lost sight of Him.”
Beware of rejoicing with someone over the wrong thing, but always look to rejoice over the right thing. “…the friend of the bridegroom…rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:29-30). This was spoken with joy, not with sadness— at last they were to see the Bridegroom! And John said this was his joy. It represents a stepping aside, an absolute removal of the servant, never to be thought of again.
Listen intently with your entire being until you hear the Bridegroom’s voice in the life of another person. And never give any thought to what devastation, difficulties, or sickness it will bring. Just rejoice with godly excitement that His voice has been heard. You may often have to watch Jesus Christ wreck a life before He saves it
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The great point of Abraham’s faith in God was that he was prepared to do anything for God.
Good morning, Cat💓
I think Mike Lindel is such a person who could be a very good example of the above. I’m pretty certain he’d agree. Blessings for your day, girl🙏
Good morning Cat and Betsy! Getting ready to leave the hospital today which makes us very happy. Blessings!
Good, good, the best, morning, G!!!
I was absent yesterday and have not looked back on this thread. It seems you are well after your procedure, and now this wonderful news! Deo gratias truly. 🙏💓 Blessings to each and everyone of you. B🤗
Didn’t take my ibuprofen at 10 last night and my foot was hurting though the vein that they layered was from the knee up. So had to take it at 2:30 and didn’t get any sleep.
The kidney doctor gave his ok to leave now waiting on the hospitalist. I told the nurse that we were leaving today one way or another. Stepdad getting very antsy and difficult.
Pain at night is worse I think than in the day, my experience anyway. I’m so sorry. My husband is like you. If he is suffering any discomfort from colds to bad back and all in between, I ask him if he has taken {fill in the blank}, and the answer is always “no”, or its close cousin “not yet”.
The axiom is if you stay on top of your meds, then discomfort is supposed to be lessened. Not wagging my finger, mind😉😘…
I hope you’ll exponentially feel better as the day goes on and reap the benefit of a good restorative sleep tonight.🙏
And I pray that as soon as you spring your stepdad from his confines today, he’ll feel immediately better and tremendously less fraught. What an advocate you are💓
Bro! Read Betsy’s reply again. It is the wive’s lament. She is exactly right …as i have had similar conversations with Mr Leenie…
Someone, please explain the male reasoning regarding health issues! “I hurt, I have a fever, I pulled a muscle, I don’t need to take the Advil, the Aleve, the Tylenol, I don’t need to ice it, I don’t need to elevate it…I’m going into work even though I feel like crap because, “I’M A MAN!!!”
I am NOT a Man Basher but this one has always had me flummoxed!!!! (My Dad was the same! And my Mom was a Nurse! drove her nuts! He wouldn’t even take an aspirin for a headache!)
Bro, Ibuprofen is not a gene altering injection! You said you had to get through til Friday…do it!
❤️. Leenie
May I make a request? Can you tell me the first initial of your first name? Bro sounds stupid and you are not my Grandpa! 🤣. I need another thing To refer to you by …🥰
What if he gives a first number?
I’m dense, I don’t know what this means !🤣
How many letters are in the English alphabet?
Letter M is which number?
He is Grandpa 13. Yes?
It’s right there, it is M. 😂
❤️ M!!!!

One More From Rodney
Like I said FID (Foreign Internal Defense) is one of the missions of SF. And UW (Unconventional Warfare) is why the US Army Special Forces exist. No others in the US military train in setting up a UW campaign and the clandestine organizations, communications, and methods of operations necessary to conduct such a campaign.
The US Army’s Green Berets quietly helped tilt the battlefield a little bit more toward Ukraine (msn.com)
BTW Green Berets are hats and no Special Forces soldier I’ve ever known has called himself a hat!
But that is what you get from Hollywood and the press. A press that usually doesn’t even grasp the difference between Special Forces and Special Operations Forces. The former being a Branch of Service in the US Army.
Special Forces is a Combat Arms Branch equal to the Infantry, Armor, Artillery, Air Defense Artillery, and Engineers.
Special Operations Forces are all units from all the Branches of the Military which are tasked and trained to conduct special operations.
BTW the Marine Recon are not Special Operations Forces. Their mission is tactical and not strategic. They, and some other Marine units are however designated as “Special Operations Capable”, meaning they have the skills and training to provide back up and support for Special Operations.
“If you kill for money, you’re a mercenary. If you kill for pleasure, you’re a sadist.
If you do both, you’re a Green Beret.”
Excerpt from Edward Abbey’s “The Monkey Wrench Gang”
BTW the Tornado that cut across Kentucky Dec. 10 last year was not the longest (As reported by multiple media sources) or even the 2nd longest in the official record.
The official survey is in. It comes in third at 167 miles.
There was a second tornado across parts of Arkansas and Tennessee on a similar path. The two were added together to get the “record” as it was originally thought they were a single tornado. It is a record that we would rather not have. In December, there were three clearly different tornadoes that the news reports made sound like one. There was one in Illinois that made the news because of the Amazon distribution center, the one that leveled Mayfield and the one close to me that hit the US31W bypass area in Bowling Green. Now, they have discovered it was at least four. Even in Bowling Green, there was a point that the track splits into two paths (maybe two separate tornadoes) with one continuing for many miles and the other ending just after hitting north east Bowling Green.
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.
Thank you for the beautiful prayer… Loved “Faith my fears!”
It’s National Cheese Steak day. No place around where I live is noted for their Cheese Steak Sandwiches. But it sure sounds good to me! Maybe I’ll make my own later today.
Don’t drop any on the floor!! If you have a 4 footed companion, remember…the 5 second rule doesn’t work if you have a 2 second dog. Blessings to you. Enjoy!
About two and a half hours E.N.E. of my house is the home of some of the best cheesesteak subs on the East Coast – South Philadelphia, PA. Unfortunately the Democrats have destroyed the reputation of that area, so I opt for Philly-Style cheesesteaks around my area. The good news is that there are excellent copies of Philly-style AND original recipe cheesesteak subs close by my village.
But if you ever happen to be in South Philly…here is a guide…

Good morning, duchess.
I saw this and thought why doesn’t some clever lawyer use it in arguments before the Supreme Court (now, in my mind, a discredited ideological institution) when arguments are heard on abortion coming up.

Amen and amen.

Supposed to get down to freezing or below every night Friday through Monday in my neck of the Indiana woods.
Yesterday down in Huntsville when I parked to go to sleep I left a window cracked open when I laid down in the sleeper and was listening to a Mocking bird go through his repertoire of calls. Pretty extensive too!
Yeah. Looking at two sub freezing nights here in Kentucky.

Salutations for a Blessed Day. I’ve been wanting to post this song for a while now. I had never heard it (that I can recall) until a few years ago and I was blown away by the lyrics and his voice when it comes to the part ‘where the mountains make love to the sky’. It is not the best-produced song of his – several changes in volume and all. But I love it. Hope you do too.
A beautiful share parichute ❤️ You’re so right….mountains meet the sky…..love the phrase and to me, it’s a companion piece to his other songs. Thanks so much for this 😊
Hi Cat – thank you so much for giving it a ‘go’ and taking a moment to write – the ending is beautiful as well… somewhere to find me a place that I can call home, Faith farm and family … somewhere to grow older, etc.
I still feel the loss of his leaving us far too soon…
BTW – I truly enjoy your banter and rhapsodies with Mungrel! You two were made for each other, poetically, of course. 🙂
Good afternoon, parichute💓. That was a lovely, longing song of his I was unfamiliar with. He really did have a very distinctive voice, didn’t he? And yes…he, among so many lost in light aircraft accidents, is really missed. I’d call him iconic because I think that adjective suits him… and his writing and performances. Lovely.
Glad you enjoyed it Betsy – and I agree, iconic suits him perfectly. When you have another moment, listen again to the last part of the song, its so poignant. I truly enjoy reading your excellent repartee as well as Feral Cat and Mungrel – so much poetry and wonky vernacular (them of course, not you). I still haven’t figured out the emoji thing yet – lazy I guess.
Ha…I don’t mind being put in the wonky vernacular category…sometimes the shoe fits. I’m finding a lot of lyrics more poignant these days, poetry in themselves. Perhaps it’s age. In fact, I’d say it most likely is.
That’s why a couple of weeks ago when Garrison was posting a few selections of Simon and Garfunkel, I was reminded of their “America” and “The Boxer”, which Cat was kind enough to link to (both). America and life in America that the further away from where we were we move…and at a speed I never thought possible… make me weep. Such is change which is always occurring. But in this case the direction of it is ugly and ungodly. We’ve got our memories, nevertheless, and songs like Denver’s and S&G’s and so many others are a great comfort to listen to and remember. Blessings to you, parichute🙏
Ah I remember that post with S&G and your words could have been mine, 2 great songs plus Kathy, some of the best. I wonder if you might like this one by Neil…
Parichute! One of my favorite ones of Neil’s.
Hope you don’t mind me returning the music favor with one I favored in the good old days.
I knew it well, p, and had forgotten it. More trips down my memory lanes. Thank you for those more stable times💓
Morning Ya’ll , 🙂

Missing our great FLOTUS…………..
Just Fabulous !!
What is a woman, the question asked of the wholly disreputable Marxist and paedophile supporter in line for the SC.
THIS is a woman! A genteel, feminine, smart, compassionate, America loving lady. And completely suited for the role she held.
I miss them so much, my heart aches.
Good afternoon Betsy, She certainly is a Woman!!
I miss them too.
Good evening, Marti💓
It is what it is. I try to not think about it. But when I’m reminded by a picture such that one of Melania, I am taken unawares by the intensity of the melancholy I feel. Nothing is permanent. But it is the outright blatant stealing our choice from us that reawakens those feelings…and others. Ah well…sigh.
Our beautiful 1st Lady. WOW!! We miss her!!
I had a thought: Re Will Thomas.
I understand how scary it is for an 18-22 year-old young woman, who would not want to throw away years of training, love of a sport, scholarships, job opportunities, endorsements and the path they saw for their life in exchange for ridicule, death threats, being ostracized… I understand why parents, college administrators, coaches would want the “go along to get along” attitude.
What if all these young women realized that this moment WAS their life’s mission. All that sacrifice and all those hours in the pool and training and discipline led to this moment…. Had nothing to do with swimming or scholarships, or championships or medals. It had to do with this: Integrity, honesty, common sense…
Just wonderin’
Sometimes right thinking people have to stand for what they believe or the freaks of the world are going to take over.
Integrity…had they all, as one group, walked away leaving him standing by himself on the mark to swim, they would have had buckets of it. The girls are as yet too immature to understand how much power they have if they coalesce.
Imagine how much commie freak propaganda have they had to endure in their short lifespan.
Ok, folks. I’m gonna jump in here with something I saw concerning Hunter Biden in “We the People USA web site. Apparently, March 21st, Hunter was arrested in his Malibu home and is being charged with foreign interference and possession of child porn on his laptop. The mainstream media is silent on this latest development; the story is unconfirmed from what I can tell so far.
Has anyone else seen this?
I haven’t, Joe.
It really is sickening. One can only hope these girls have parents at home who can counter and it all…and only hope the girls will listen to them.
Morning, Leenie💓 I don’t know how we, as a country, crawl out of the sewer we find ourselves in…on this and all other Sodom and Gomorrah issues.

From here I go to Loisville where I trade trailers with another driver and then get loaded there.
Then back up here to this place in Columbus to get unloaded and then go home.
