Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Good morning, WP.
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who declarest thy glory and showest forth thy handiwork in the heavens and the earth; Deliver us, we beseech thee, in our several callings, from the service of mammon, that we may do thy work which thou givest us to do, in truth, in beauty, and in righteousness, with singleness of heart as thy servants, and to the benefit of our fellow men; for the sake of him who came amongst us as one that serveth, thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen🙏
All His Blessings to my family here in this most wonderful loving gathering place.💓
Amen 🙏
❤️
Amen, Betsy! I’ll check back later, that is if I have the time after my vein procedure. Have to go back and check on stepdad then have a 3 o’clock call with his doctor. Blessings!
🙏🏻❤️
I’m sending mine to you as well, G. Praying all goes well with everything💓🙏🙏🙏…I’m tripling up.
🙏🏻❤️
My vein thing went fine. Back at the ER with stepdad. His O2 level was down to 84.
You are tough, G. I’m so glad. But oh no…..San Antonio or where you are? I hope its something that can be sorted there quickly so he can return home🙏
Fredericksburg, getting a blood transfusion and the hospice with oxygen for home set up.
I’m glad he’ll be home in familiar circumstances. That might help him remain calmer, bless his heart. .
How is your mother? This no doubt is hard on her.

This is a hoot too, though sadly no Hooter Girl appears.
Interesting.
At 25 it momentarily changes to a natural looking greenish scene for me, before turning B+W.
Our minds/intellect interfere so much w/ our Visual Perception.
It’s what makes Realistic Drawing so hard.
Visual perception is more a function of the brain than it is our eyes, and I think there are lots of oddities going on before intellect kicks in, though I don’t doubt that plays a big role the variations we experience.
I typically mentally visualize an invention in an instant, it just pops up fully formed before I can think to name it, but I can’t draw to save my life.
Humans are weird.
If you maintain your fix on the black dot the scene stays properly colored for the duration.
Then again, folks are different.
Yesterday’s exercise with the audio perception being based on which text one viewed was actually deeper than depicted, with eyes closed thinking one word or the other I heard that particular word, eyes closed not thinking of any word but simply varying which way I turned my head, or turned my eyes without moving my head, produced the same either-or pattern, except when eyes were forward I heard the first part of the first word and second part of the second word, consistently and repeatedly.
Yet try as I might, I never heard “Hooters!” Imagine my disappointment.
Brains are weird.
😂 ..never heard Hooters HAHAHAHA
I’ll play 😝
Life is a dream and the externality of relations is an illusion !
“. . .The hold that she had was much stronger than the love that the had for me . . . ” RIP Mike . . .
Garrison, you indirectly provided the answer to a decades old quest to an oddity in my head. Long time ago, when hbo first came out, they played music videos to fill up the time between movies. One in particular was a nesmith video, of him roller skating thru somewhere in California and singing. When I played your selection, laugh kills lonesome (which was cool), I scrolled down and there it was!!! No nesmith action video, but my brain was at peace with finding that particular song. Feels like I cleaned up an old computer file. Thanks Garrison 😘
Sunset Sam
The video is on YouTube. I watched a bit of it last night while looking for songs to post. Nesmith has been said to have invented music videos or invented MTV . . . Don’t know if that’s true but certainly the first videos I saw were his.
Good morning, Garrison.💓
You’ll never run out of music to post, thankfully. And the memories that go with all of it? Really priceless. It’s hard to see the musicians of my youth pass on. In my mind I see them as they were. Those were the days…
And I keep asking myself, “Were we really that young?” 🙂
Imagining it is a stretch, I’ll allow. Bodily? Wow! It surely does sneak up on you. But in every other way, I feel the same. That’s why it’s such a shock to catch an unexpected glance in a mirror.😉 Time is not marching on. It’s positively racing!
Thanks GH – the answer is yes! I just love the song Joanne – I hadn’t heard it in ‘a hundred years’ until you posted it back when Mike passed away and I’m glad you posted it again today. I hope the coconut oil brings out a lovely gift for you and your bride today 🙂

Bore da Betsy – I learned a few bits about Wales this morning,,, Daffodils, Love Spoons and the popularity of Male Choruses. The link I’ve included has a nice list of songs – I played the Battle Hymn of the Republic first. Enjoy
Oh myyyy!!! Bore da to you as well, parichute🤗
The tradition of love spoons is truly Welsh. Most are manufactured now, especially the ones tourists buy as souvenirs. We used to sell so many in the little upmarket shop I worked in and later managed. But carving them is still done, and I invested in one of the most intricate ones I’d ever seen…a heavier, denser wood the handle of which is a Welsh dragon, a symbol in the culture of protection of the home. It is a work of art and hand carved, and I paid a bomb for it. But I love it.
And those Male Choruses?? Now you’ve touched my heart with the memory of them. Truly there is nothing like Welsh men’s voices. There are competitions there for choirs. The Treorchy Male Voice Choir from the coal mining Rhondda Valley is one of the better known. So I am THRILLED to see your link. Their “Cwm Rhondda” was sung at yesterday’s Memorial for Prince Philip. There are so many of these choirs but there is no confusing their sound as particularly Welsh.
Thank you so much, p, for this. Aaaand here come the glorious memories! I’m off to wallow in them through your link, and may shed a tear or two😉
Diolch, Cariad. What a treasure you are!💓
Parichute, I had to stop listening to come back and thank you once again💓
I scrolled through them all and started with two of the better known Welsh songs…Myfanwy, which is a woman’s name…and the rousing Men of Harlech.
Those two are so quintessentially Welsh, and if you ever saw the wonderful Michael Caine/Stanley Baker movie ZULU, you may remember hearing that one.
The choir is in excellent voce and is as I remembered it. What joy!!! So back I go to listen to more. What a marvelous playlist to refer to instead of looking up the songs individually. If you are so inclined, do look up their performance of CWM RHONDDA. You’ll recognize it instantly. B
Thank you and you’re welcome. It makes my heart happy that you and others are enjoying my ‘find’ today. I will listen to ‘Rhondda’ – I couldn’t imagine where I should start so I’m glad to have the suggestions. Funny – many just call me -P
“Cwm Rhondda” is the first hymn (as it is) which I always I think of when I want to listen to any of the Welsh Male Voice Choirs. “Myfanwy” is SO Welsh…poignant. In any event, I don’t know what inspired you to undertake this wonderful digging, but I’m so glad you did!
Well then…P it is!
Loved it!
So glad…💓

Good morning, Maquis💓. All blessings to you. B
What a great selection MMW.A very special song.
First,I’d like to thank you all for the lovely comments yesterday.You are all so very thoughtful and caring.I was really taken aback by your consideration.
Yes,I love my wife dearly,and when I took that vow,I meant it and will never leave her side…for better or worse.She is a wonderful person.The early onset of Alzheimer’s is difficult to witness.While she is still very lucid most of the time,the “between” is slowly dwindling.She’s not fully cognizant of the decline,but she knows that something isn’t right.
What keeps me up at night is who is going to look after her in later years if I’m not there.We don’t have any children and most of our family is now gone.The few members we have left would not be in any position to help anyways.
So for now I live for “happiness today love”.Tomorrow is in the hands of the Lord and there are people out there who have problems FAR greater than mine…and for them I pray.
She is my sunshine indeed,and I just loathe the day that my sunshine is taken away.
Thank all of you for your kindness and I pray for God’s blessings for each and every one of you.May the peace of the Lord be with you all. 🙂
I understand the hardships of Alzheimer’s first hand, ran dad back and forth to the neurologist for years as my stepmother couldn’t or wouldn’t.
He lost the battle in 2015 at the age of 79.
Good morning, CBB💓 You know, I’m certain, you are in the best place amongst all of us here. I’ve never known such a magnet for kind, truly empathetic people…each one with an unlimitless capacity to wrap their arms around anyone who needs comfort, advice (you just never know where that will come from!), or perhaps just a wee break from the issues (like yours) which overwhelm all of us in some form or another. I’m so happy you discovered this most beautiful site, as I did when Someone “nudged” me not so long ago.
I hope you saw ms idaho’s link to coconut oil last night. She (and her husband) is very au fait with all sorts of natural aids for good health, and supplements. But the coconut oil information caught my eye from Garrison’s post.
God truly bless both you and your loving wife. B 💓🙏
Thank you Mrs. Betsy.I’ve been reading here for many years.I just don’t comment that often…only upvote.You are truly a treasure!
Love,peace and happiness to you my friend! 🙂
And to you, sir. Like you, I read for many years also. Then one day when all here was a mess because Sundance was dumped off WordPress with almost no notice and we had to sign in to access the new forum, I thought, well…why not?
Best decision I’d made in ages. And that new dimension has added so much to my life in so many ways. But it’s the people I’ve met who have so enriched my life, and I’m so grateful.
I’m glad you’re here, CBB. I’m “Bet” to my friends, of which I will count you as one😊…or as Frank Field, another dear friend here has christened me, “Bet NM” (NOT Midler).
See you soon. Blessings to you and your bride.
Mornin’ Casco. We’re pretty much in the same boat. I don’t have any family to speak of and, like you, there’s just me to care for my wife. I think there are lots of us out there. As I mentioned awhile ago, we’ve had some success with coconut oil which has helped with my wife’s overall cognition. As I’m sure you’ve discovered Alzheimer’s isn’t linear—she still has good days and bad days. It’s just that with the coconut oil her good days seem better overall while her bad days don’t seem as bad. There’s a bunch of videos on Youtube that feature Dr. Mary Newport who is an authority on Alzheimer’s and coconut oil. Here’s a link:
Oh thank you, Garrison!
I will check into this…Blessings to you amigo and keep the faith!
CBB, my heart goes out to you…I took care of my beloved Mama who had Alzheimers until she passed two months short of 90.
We also had no family to help us.
God Bless you and your wife…sending prayers.
From my southern heart to yours…💓
Thank you SH and bless your heart. 🙂
CBB, praying for you.
Thank you Mr. M…much appreciated! 🙂
Woke up to the emergency tone on my phone last night. Then a nearby tornado siren started to wail.
National weather service says it’s “radar indicated rotation”
Truck facing the exact wrong direction to see if anything is coming from the SW. Trucks left, right, and behind.
Screw it. If it’s my time then so be it. Back into the sleeper. But no sleep Until after that darn siren stopped making all that racket. It went off 4 times,
A horrid sound, rah. We’ve got one two streets over. I’m so glad you’re all right. But in the end, your approach is ours. Not any place we could go that one serendipity or shift of a mercurial tornado couldn’t drag us out of. Just have to trust in His protection.
We can’t hear the horn here unless the windows are open and we don’t do that in a thunderstorm. We depend on weather apps. I have three set to give me warnings for the area my phone is in. Having “location” turned on has its positives.
Glad you have at least that VM. While we have apps available for general weather disturbances, which I check, the “There’s a tornado coming!” siren is ear shattering in its intensity. And of course there’s the testing which is done periodically, always on a clear day so there’ll be no misinterpretation.
I’m certainly NOT complaining. Forewarned is better than destruction of life every time. But, my goodness, when it goes it really makes me jump! I’m sure we’ll be hearing it again as our season progresses.
Finally, as I was growing up, it always puzzled me why “grownies” (as I called people of years more than mine then) always had such a preoccupation with all things weather. My imagination was, shall we say, underdeveloped. Of course, when I became a “grownie”, all was clear. Such is life.
As a child, I was terribly afraid of storms, and in central Kentucky that is a lot of fear. One stormy evening, my dad took me outside on the porch and we sat in two folding chairs and rode out the storm. We were marginally covered from the rain but we caught the full force of the lightning and thunder and some of the wind. At the end, my dad and I got up to go in the house and he simply said, “God’s creation is to be respected, but not feared.”
What a wonderful thing to say to you. An awesome, in the truest sense of that word, truth. I’ve just stumbled upon a couple of videos of incredible lightning displays. And now in my older age, what your father said was the first thing that came to mind…His power and all that means. Your dad was right. Bless him for putting it that way.
One more please.
Sweet cream ladies ❤️
Good morning, Cat💓
Another little ditty from Ogden Nash…
A Word to Husbands
“To keep your marriage brimming
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong, admit it;
Whenever you’re right, shut up.”
Some things are that simple😉 Here’s hoping your day is a really good one.
Good Morning Betsy ❤️
Great husbands ditty.
To be fair, got one for wives? 😝
I haven’t run across one…yet. But to be fair, he was a man so it was written with that perspective. Ill do a more in-depth dive to see what can find😉
Does this apply?
Love is never having to say ‘I’m sorry’
Good morning, ms idaho💓
I remember that movie. And even as young as I was I thought that was bunkum. Sometimes those are the hardest words to say…and the most important ones to someone you love. Hope the move is going well!! I’m off to see if I can find a wife’s rebuttal from Mr Nash.😉
I looked in vain…nothing.😞
MANATEE APPRECIATION DAY
Manatee Appreciation Day on the Last Wednesday in March focuses the world’s attention on an herbivore with no known natural enemy. Also known as the sea cow, manatees are a vulnerable species due to their contact with humans. Boating and pollution, as well as other external forces, threaten the manatee.
Kinda funny story about manatees, I grew up in South Florida and the year the movie Jaws came out my husband (then boyfriend) and I were swimming in the Atlantic when all of sudden something knocked into and when I looked as it went past it looked like a huge shark. I started to panic and swim as fast as I could and another one swam right by. My husband grabbed me and told me to calm down that it was just gentle manatees swimming by. I have been a little afraid to swim to far out in the ocean since.
Managers are gentle, so I believe. Don’t even put a toe in the water though if you ever go to Australia! 😬
HAIL THOU ONCE DESPISED JESUS
I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders. The number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!”
I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!”
— Revelation 5: 11-13, WEB
Words of the hymn are displayed in the video.
Good morning, 1530💓
Can you imagine the sound??🙏
March 30 Oswald Chambers
Holiness or Hardness Toward God?
He…wondered that there was no intercessor… —Isaiah 59:16
The reason many of us stop praying and become hard toward God is that we only have an emotional interest in prayer. It sounds good to say that we pray, and we read books on prayer which tell us that prayer is beneficial— that our minds are quieted and our souls are uplifted when we pray. But Isaiah implied in this verse that God is amazed at such thoughts about prayer.
Worship and intercession must go together; one is impossible without the other. Intercession means raising ourselves up to the point of getting the mind of Christ regarding the person for whom we are praying (see Philippians 2:5). Instead of worshiping God, we recite speeches to God about how prayer is supposed to work. Are we worshiping God or disputing Him when we say, “But God, I just don’t see how you are going to do this”? This is a sure sign that we are not worshiping. When we lose sight of God, we become hard and dogmatic. We throw our petitions at His throne and dictate to Him what we want Him to do. We don’t worship God, nor do we seek to conform our minds to the mind of Christ. And if we are hard toward God, we will become hard toward other people.
Are we worshiping God in a way that will raise us up to where we can take hold of Him, having such intimate contact with Him that we know His mind about the ones for whom we pray? Are we living in a holy relationship with God, or have we become hard and dogmatic?
Do you find yourself thinking that there is no one interceding properly? Then be that person yourself. Be a person who worships God and lives in a holy relationship with Him. Get involved in the real work of intercession, remembering that it truly is work— work that demands all your energy, but work which has no hidden pitfalls. Preaching the gospel has its share of pitfalls, but intercessory prayer has none whatsoever.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Beware of isolation; beware of the idea that you have to develop a holy life alone. It is impossible to develop a holy life alone; you will develop into an oddity and a peculiarism, into something utterly unlike what God wants you to be. The only way to develop spiritually is to go into the society of God’s own children, and you will soon find how God alters your set. God does not contradict our social instincts; He alters them.
Got some brand new 2022 quarters (coins) … they look and feel like amusement park tokens. Lightweight. Oddly shiny.. Little detail on the lightly raised images..
The back has nothing to do with the US, but has an unrecognizable image that appears to be a bird superimposed on a human figure, and the words “Maya Angelou”.
What a totally unremarkable thing to produce and distribute as US currency.
Whoops, I think I accidentally flagged my own post.
Tokens they are.
My first banker con that I got sucked into was the introduction of an Australian “new” 50 peice, having twelve sides it became a novelty at that time as all other coin was round.
People kept their coins back then as emergency money.
As kids we got wind that the old round 50 cent coins could be cashed in for a dollar, so of course we raided all the “oldies” coin jars for the round coins.
We never stole them, we swapped them for the 12 sided ones.
Sweet deal, or so we thought, take in mind swapping was the thing, football cards,stamps, coins, ect, ect, well it ended up that the “silver” content in the round coins was 90%, the new ones 10% and that’s not counting buying value.
So in reality the banksters gathered up all the public silver.
I have been ashamed of my actions ever since, but I was only 8yrs old then so I forgive myself !
I’ve learnt my lesson !
Thanks, Mungrel, for supplying the word that escaped me, but the one I was struggling to draw from the memory bank….token! Yes..absolutely! Worth zero.
And with age comes wisdom. To be truthful, we live our lives wrong way round. Be lenient with yourself.
Back when the Dallas Cowboys had offices on North Central Expressway, and where I worked also, I came to know one of their coaches, Ernie Stautner. He was kind enough to have the whole team autograph a football. It was their first Super Bowl win. I thought it would be a wonderful present for my much younger brother in law who was football mad, and the idea of long term value never crossed my mind. I have no idea where it is today, but I do know that over time the signatures faded. I should have sealed them but didn’t. Beyond shortsighted.
We all have those moments of “if only”. I hadn’t thought of that in a lonnnng time. But since you mention your prepubescent high finance days, I have…and I’m kicking myself all over again. 😭😫
So our currency has been cheapened. When I was little and someone gave me a silver dollar for a birthday, I always used to marvel at the weight of it. It felt real and valuable. Like so much of life in a stable country then, that’s gone. What has replaced it tells us pretty much where we are…sigh…
Betsy, do you remember the Presidental “gold” dollars a little while back? I’m saving mine to con these nitwits to trade for something valuable. Wonder how much time will have to pass for the con to be successful? Perhaps in the grands lifespan? 😂
I don’t remember it, Cat. Inverted commas are appropriate.
Mum taught me at a very young age to “hear” the sound of a real silver coin. It’s that beautiful, musical “ting!”
Boy, Leenie, was she ever right! Play money just doesn’t have it. Oh, and good morning, girl💓
Morning!! (Almost afternoon!!!!!)
Leenie has to get off this thread for a bit! Blood pressure going up! 🤣
Then I do stupid things and get put in “moderation!”
Morning Leenie, guess that’s why haven’t seen you in a few days. ❤️
Hi! Good to hear from you!!!!!! I’ve been here! You good?
See the update I left for Betsy up thread. At the ER with stepdad.
You get wiser and wiser as time goes on, m’dear. Off you go for a restorative cup of tea. Come back after!😉💓
..a restorative cup of tea and a good night sleep!!! ❤️
I understand that! Sleep eludes us as well.
And a little shine in the tea. 😁
Hi Br0 M! More tea, less shine! 🤣
Good advice, G!! We’ve had this conversation before😊Just a splash…
Mornin’ comrade infidels.
Conservative Treehouse: Will Smith Slap shows that we know and they know we know. {Go Deep} Uniparty silent as this distracts from the real news and supply chain woes and food shortages continue to worsen.
I just saw a very interesting “conspiracy theory” about that, VM.
Pfizer sponsored the Oscars, because what don’t they sponsor? And as “coincidence” has it, they are promoting their new drug for alopecia. Waiting for approval apparently.
What else can I say? Plausible is the word I’m thinking of.
A new drug for Alopecia? How fortuitous!!! Pfizer sponsoring the Oscar’s and a “fight” breaks out on stage because of a joke about Will Smith’s wife shaving her head because of Alopecia. (They REALLY do think we are morons!)
SHOCKER!!!!
That bit’s a farce on so many levels. Black women here almost all hide their real hair anyway, it’s fragile and while beautiful when well tended it is for many simply too much work, so they have “mesh” braided in, and that process itself stresses already fragile African hair, breaking it, encouraging them further to wear wigs or to shave it as a practical style choice.
This woman chose to openly wear her very common situation as if bravely if not proudly enduring the consequences of a war wound yet wilting under the slightest attention to it?
Sketchy.
Greetings Treepers!

Hello FC and Betsy!
It is yard season now, and thank God, I am still able to do my own yard. Have to start early before it gets too hot. But it wears me out, so my schedule has changed. DST wreaks havoc with my circadian rhythm. So dealing with that too.
You both are so kind to miss me. I will try to check in more often.
Blessings!!
Glorious!! There you are!! DST does for me as well. And the heat, thankfully taking it’s time.
Up top, parichute has posted a wonder playlist for the Treorchy Male Voice Choir. I hope you saw it and have time to give a listen. Simply gorgeous. I suggested she look for their singing of “Cwm Rhondda”. Add that one in as well.
Blessings, Lonestar🙏
Praise the Lord
Good morning, Frank!💓 Will watch now. Blessings, sir. Bet NM🙏
Praise the Lord about Peter’s niece!

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.

BABY LIVES MATTER
No child, born or unborn, is safe anymore from the evil which wants to claim them for its own. Our most vulnerable. 🙏
Such manifested evil in our world today – if not for the children when will we ever say, enough!
You’re right. I always thought this would be the infamous red line. In fact it may still be, so blatant and fast have these entities come after our children and grandchildren, both physically (“vaccines”) and spiritually. They all think our precious gifts from God belong to them…teachers, government, whoever. And they are laying claim.
But this thing with Disney, a now exposed decadent corporation in the sewer, just might wake parents up…enough anyway that it is to be hoped and prayed for the tide will miraculously turn. Those are my prayers in any event. B

Rejoice Virgin Theotokos, Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, for thou hast borne the Savior of our souls. (Thrice)
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
Just finished re-reading 1984.
Orwell was prophetic.
One of my fav actors. So sorry to hear of his illness and retirement.

Does anyone know of any other forum on the internet that is about food, cooking, and cookware that doesn’t consist of a bunch of leftwingers?
My “non-political” forum that consisted of such went down this week and I have described these people here as a bunch of coastal leftists. Most of them have migrated to a different forum that was already active. I haven’t started posting there myself but I don’t think I can take the politics there that creep into the discussion. And also their handwringing about “Climate Change” and so forth. It’s now indicated that we need to stop using cotton. Cotton! And even stop using wood and use bamboo instead? Due to carbon footprint, of course.
These people really, I just don’t think I can tolerate anymore. But I hope to find another online diversion outside of politics, which is very depressing to me at the moment.
Does anyone know of any cooking/cookware food forum that is not full of lefties?
I am not on any social media like facebook and the like. Just looking for a regular forum.
Thanks!
I’m not entirely sure if this meets your ask, but have found it pretty fascinating and useful.

Thank you., Maquis. This was a forum or message board, but I see some things there that might be helpful for me, too!
I hope you find your peace, Kaco. It takes some looking these days.
Thank you, Betsy! It was just a diversion and helped in cooking and I had gotten some new cookware over the past few years, don’t need anything now, but can’t seem to find anything not polluted with leftists outside of our politics.
This website is really good, though, that Maquis just referred me, too. Learning more about my MTHFR genes right now on there and supplements to help it. No doctor has done a thing for me, and my rheumatoid factor is up still from a few years ago, that a doctor then said was probably a “false positive”. It’s just a mess and I’ve got spike proteins floating around this bad system of mine making it worse with the long haul Covid.
Got in at 13:30. Ran through some heavy rain running back on US 36 to I-72 to I-74 to US 32 to I-65 S to I-865 to I-465 to I’69 N. Worst of it along US 36 and I-72 running through MO and IL.
Well it’s back doing that Skokie run again tomorrow. Depart the yard at 04:00.
So I’ve had a dinner of left over Ham, green beans, and potatoes. Taken my vitamins. And now it’s off to bed. Up at 02:00 to get ready to go. Night all.

No border control, in Norway?https://norwaytoday.info/news/minister-mehl-shoots-down-progress-partys-demands-for-border-control/
And another one goes down the plughole, though it is Norway so no surprise. Sweden is completely lost. And with Biden doing away with Title 42 today, our border agents might as well be sent home. Three “boos” for the no border, no sovereignty world.

Mel Gibson has said Passion: Resurrection will depict everything that occurred during the 3 days in every realm of existence and possibly even have flashbacks to the fall of the angels
