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 †

Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes, and I shall keep it unto the end.
Give me understanding and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall keep it with my whole heart.
Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein is my desire. Amen.

Good afternoon Betsy and grandpa!
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND OF JESUS OUR LORD. According to his divine power hath given unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto life and godliness, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM that hath called us to GLORY AND VIRTUE.
by which are given unto us great and precious promises, that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world THROUGH LUST.
And beside this, giving ALL diligence, add to your faith virtue and to virtue KNOWLEDGE. And to knowledge self control, and to self control patients and to patients godliness. And to godliness brotherly kindness; (don’t use brotherly kindness without these attributes) to brotherly kindness love.
for if these THINGS be in you and abound they make you so you shall not be barren or unfruitful in the KNOWLEDGE OF OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
But he that lack these things is…………blind and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old man.
2 Peter 1-9
knowledge of God Is key to all things. Knowledge is acquired by studying God and his word. Put that in schools and all will be well in America.

Snowing at my place in Spokane right now!
Houston here.
For some weeks and three days out of seven have brought howling 20 to 30 to 30 ++ MPH winds. Trees broken and new leaves shredded and times of a pollen green atmosphere from the “green snow” normal spring occurrence.
Unrelenting winds and wind advisories in the Fort Worth area for the past couple of weeks, or longer…I’ve lost track. But very unnerving. No point in washing my car…pollen everywhere.
Pretty cat!
Looks a lot like our first Maine Coon that died four years ago. We got another Maine Coon mix. Beautiful critters.
You’ll *NEVER* get all the hair outta the backyard!
San Antonio area, windy like the rest of Texas so far this spring, and very dry unlike last year, which may have been the greenest that I’ve ever seen in my half a century in South Texas.
I remember 2007, it rained all year long in San Antonio and the Hill Country.
Spring is dropping hints….
75 and partly sunny today; 84 and cloudy tomorrow; 70 rest of week… in north central Maryland.
Then back to the mid 50s from Sunday into next week.
Have not yet seen the usual March/April winds this year….
This was first posted on the Tucker Carlson thread. I think it should also be posted here in addition.
This is why we have a 2nd Amendment. It is why we currently have approximately 400 million privately owned firearms. The purpose of the 2nd Amendment which is quite clearly stated in it’s intentionally unadorned language is to provide an armed citizenry with the ability to defend itself against tyranny.
Contrary to what gun-controllers like to say, the 2nd Amendment isn’t about shooting people. It is about power sharing: an armed populace such as we now have—as we have traditionally had—exists to prevent exactly what we are now seeing in China. Our kind of power sharing is a solid wedge between Chinese authoritarianism and the freedom and liberty we take for granted. That’s why individual gun ownership is so important. It is why it was included as the 2nd Amendment of the Bill Of Rights. Guns up.
What can I say, you have to be there. The “Mad Dog Margarita” is made with Mescal and tastes terrible.
I wish I’d included this before I got timed out. The “Dublin Blues” is very much about enduring love which is based on trust and loyalty. Guy’s relationship with Susanna was complicated but it was enduring because their mutual trust and loyalty saw them through. They both died at home. RIP Guy and Susanna.
Beautiful Garrison…..so much so, here ya go ❤️

Good Morning rebel!!
I wore out my BST album…..one of the finest songs were God Bless the child, imo. As true today, as all the yesterdays, imo.
So one more, ok?
Thanks for the memories
❤️
Excellent!!!! ☺️ 🥰
David Clayton Thomas has one of the most unique and powerful voices.. so distinctive that you know instantly it is him,
Agree about David Clayton Thomas. He pretty much defined Blood, Sweat, and Tears. 🙂
Here is a bit of obscure musical history… Blood, Sweat and Tears did their own unique version of Sympathy for the Devil
…and finally some white chick:
Woops! See below…
That was an interesting unique version benzy. Kinda liked this version as it doesn’t have the seductive feel the stones version had. I got the feel of beware of this creature. Thanks for the unique sound I didn’t know existed.
Morning, Betsy! I Love this song! Haven’t thought about it in years!!!!! There are some amazing female blues singers that covered this, so much space for vocal gymnastics!
Afternoon, Leenie!💓
One of my faves, haven’t heard in a long time!
One for you:
One more for you!!!
Hi Leenie! Thanks for these versions/artists ❤️

NATIONAL GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH DAY – APRIL 12
The United States modern version of the grilled cheese sandwich originated in the 1920s. As sliced bread and American cheese became easily available, Americans began making open-faced grilled cheese sandwiches.
United States government cookbooks describe Navy cooks broiling “American cheese filling sandwiches” during World War II.
I’m participating! (With a slice of tomato!)
Ditto – going to lunch with my sister – think I will do it ‘your way’ Leenie61!
Just finished! YUM!!!!
P.S. your sister is much more important than the sandwich!!!! I envy you! Enjoy! 🙏🏻
One of my constant pet peeves. No, Washington never said or wrote this. See, how it works if you want to lie using memes is you pick a beloved, long-dead sage and just make up stuff. Happens to poor old Churchill, Gandhi and Einstein constantly…

April 12 Oswald Chambers
Complete and Effective Dominion
Death no longer has dominion over Him.…the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God… —Romans 6:9-11
Co-Eternal Life. Eternal life is the life which Jesus Christ exhibited on the human level. And it is this same life, not simply a copy of it, which is made evident in our mortal flesh when we are born again. Eternal life is not a gift from God; eternal life is the gift of God. The energy and the power which was so very evident in Jesus will be exhibited in us by an act of the absolute sovereign grace of God, once we have made that complete and effective decision about sin.
“You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…” (Acts 1:8)— not power as a gift from the Holy Spirit; the power is the Holy Spirit, not something that He gives us. The life that was in Jesus becomes ours because of His Cross, once we make the decision to be identified with Him. If it is difficult to get right with God, it is because we refuse to make this moral decision about sin. But once we do decide, the full life of God comes in immediately. Jesus came to give us an endless supply of life— “…that you may be filled with all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:19). Eternal life has nothing to do with time. It is the life which Jesus lived when He was down here, and the only Source of life is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Even the weakest saint can experience the power of the deity of the Son of God, when he is willing to “let go.” But any effort to “hang on” to the least bit of our own power will only diminish the life of Jesus in us. We have to keep letting go, and slowly, but surely, the great full life of God will invade us, penetrating every part. Then Jesus will have complete and effective dominion in us, and people will take notice that we have been with Him.

I completely agree…the saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies. But now we know without doubt the Republican party is our enemy as well. How deluded we were, but are no more.

Special prayer request:
13 year old Joey has a benign cancerous brain tumor. His surgery is scheduled a few weeks out.
Thanks much!

Hello Frank. Prayers for sure!!
Is it benign? Or cancerous? If it’s benign, it’s not cancer, so I’m staying positive!
Done, Frank🙏💓
Morning, Frank, prayers up!

Why? Because the RINOs are complicit in the destruction of the Republic.
They know they are responsible for the installment of this regime – he was not elected. They now have to go along to get along.

VOAT goats was a site I frequented when my son bought me a $6.000 computer after I rejected the damn things for yrs.
I went to work.
I was given the VOAT site by a victim of the pedoelite as a reference point.
The site at first was like a holy of the Holy Alliance of victims, terrible stuff, but then it grew with lots of names and places being exposed.
As the site progressed professional types began to chime in with story’s of hidden agendas behind the system, this particular mob were well versed, later it would become obvious that they were in fact retired (mostly) cops, real social workers, a few ex hookers and people in high position of power that had a conscious.
This mixed bunch were crazy and wild, but with a common objective.
Vetting came next, names, dates, etc, your mettle become your armour, many were outed at this stage as what is now said trolls.
The investigation stage then begun, the VOAT goats began to dig deep dispelling and verifying all things peodophile, this path led directly to the pedoelite,the more this continued the more we all came to the conclusion that in fact peodophile’s rule our planet.
I contributed enough to be trusted.
Not being good at grammar and stuff was understood as I also was vetted.
Some suicides occurred as some told the rest they’d just had enough.
Prayers were said.
The site was eventually shut down, some moved to another site as did I , that too was corrupted and shut down.
My computer screen went full blue and in big white letters came up “NSA” !
That computer lies at the bottom of landfill and I have never met a fellow VOAT goat since.
I like to think that I have bought them to this site with me, I’ve achieved that goal, how, I was the first person on this site to expose the ruling peodophile scum, at first nobody believed, but now on this site at least my persistence has played of.
The circumstances of pedojoe included has in fact helped most realise on this site that in fact the world is ruled by satanic peodophile scum.
Sorry ta lay this on ya TN but your previous post led me to the opportunity in stating the above.
You mob are pretty good, don’t get me wrong, but the VOAT goats were my first rag tag bunch of misfits .
This weekend, Mungrel, the White House is once again holding the Easter Egg Roll. Hundreds of little children will be there for the pleasure of his groping. It makes me physically ill to imagine it. Trying not to. 🙏
Mungrel,
If it wasn’t so sad but true, this would be amusing. Imo, at best, it’s a great psa. Every state and country should do their own version.
Thanks for explaining. Glad you can do good things and make good memories in response to horrible abuses.
Good morning everyone and please allow me to interject a refreshing story from the world of sports. No, not the unsalvageable variety like the NFL. I’m talking golf, the recently completed and incomparable Masters and its new champion Scottie Scheffler. This is a story of FAITH and that is what makes it so refreshing.
Cheers and blessings to all.

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.

Johnny Mercer wrote the lyrics and Harold Arlen scored the music. First sunh by Fred Astaire for the movie, “Skys the Limit”, it became a signature song for Sinatra. Coveed by many, Sinatra nailed the jazzy coolness intended by Mercer.

Please be careful on GAB. Twice in one week, I clicked on a news article in one of the posts. It completely froze my iPad. I got a notice from “Apple” that mal-ware and viruses were detected and I had to click a button to begin the clean-up process. I didn’t, and referred it to Mr. Leenie who did research and said “DON’T CLICK THAT BUTTON! It is a known scam!” Rebooting did nothing. I had to delete Brave, reinstall and start all over again.
Good morning, Leenie, Mr. Leenie advice was great. As a rule do not click any button that pops up like that.
Anybody else see the irony in “a charity auction benefiting the FBI Houston Citizens Academy Alumni Association, a non-profit tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization.

“Do Not Give In To The War Within”
The ecological price of wind farms.
Blood on the blades: are thousands of dead bald eagles too high a price to pay for “clean” energy – Watts Up With That?
They don’t even get into the bats. Wind turbine blades don’t even have to contact smaller flying animals to kill them. The over pressure from the blade passing through the air is enough.
This is just part of the price. Other costs include loss of farmable land, not just from the foundations of the masts but far more due to the access roads required.
Then there is the fact that it is totally uneconomical to recycle the blades and they fill up the land fills.
And then there is the ultrasound, long term exposure to which causes damage to all mammals, including humans.
Sunny, nice way to end my work day. Banana bread in oven, sunset coming and this. ☺️ thanks ❤️

Had an intense day a couple days ago, and driving home this song came on the radio- instant relaxation!
NOAA’s temperature fraud has reached new levels of absurdity.
Let me explain one of the things that Tony Heller does. Being a computer program debugger he knows computer programing inside and out. It was what he did for a living. He worked for or contracted his services to many big name companies and the US government.
What Tony did many years ago was write a program that graphs the actual raw data from the USHCN U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) | National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) (noaa.gov) stations. These stations are the most pristine, being located where roads, buildings, and other factors do not effect the data they record. They also have long records.
NOAA takes the raw data from these stations and “adjusts it” to suit their purpose and that purpose is to support the claim that CO2 is causing the temperatures to rise. They consistently have cooled the old records and warmed the recent ones to try and show that temperatures are rising in step with the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.
Tony’s program is available for anyone to see and download and he challenges anyone to show that it does not in fact properly graph the raw data.
So when you click this link you now will understand why Tony is and has been for many years now, calling out the fraud of the NOAA.

the stray kitten who wandered up here from the dirt road last fall and allows us to be her staff, decided Saturday she needs to get married (some dude named tommy). she rolled around on the floor squalling spraying all the doors and dripping. we called vets yesterday and all are maxed out through May most through July by which time Kitten could have a litter. took her to closest (May 26) vet for pre-op checkup and opted for a rabies shot as we have bats in the barn, on the porch, among the wood piles. about 20 years ago a neighbor had a very nice cat that got rabies, scratched and bit neighbors. they took all their cats and killed them and gave people horrible shots.
kitten checked out at 8.3 lbs and super healthy. today she is adapting to the rabies shot with lethargy and not eating. purring, though, in front of the fire.
Awww. Merrie 🥰
What’s her name?
the boys call her Maggie. husband calls her “the other one” (not Roxie our big black cat who loves the kitten and gives her spit baths) and I call her Kitten. she comes to kitten. tabby short hair big ears big clear eyes very soft. you would like her.
With Easter just day’s away these songs haunt me…
As Winter re-asserts its power over spring. I hope the birds and flowers survive
In my Easter bonnet
with the ear muffs on it
I’ll be the warmest lady
in the Easter Parade
I’m dreaming of a white Easter
with every Easter card I write
may your days be merry & bright
and may all your Easter Lilies
be white

I hate winter in the Springtime
I hate winter in the Fall
I hate winter in the Summer
when it drizzles
But I hate it in the winter most of all
I hate winter every moment
Every moment of the year
I hate winter
Why, oh why do I hate winter
Because its cold out there
Springtime is so exciting. Green green and flowers.
Please no more snow and frost in our patch… I’m done with winter until next Christmas!
that’s why I hate winter in the springtime
