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 †

Not sure which is prettier, Leon. The gorgeous flowers (and they are!!), or that splendid creature posing in front of them. A real “twofer” for today.😍
Good morning to all my friends here in the branches.💓 I offer prayers to God Almighty for all who are undergoing life’s trials and need His peace, especially Feral Cat who is mourning the loss of her beloved husband yesterday. You are in my heart, Cat. May the Great Comforter, the Holy Spirit, be with you and all your family.
Amen
Good morning, Betsy. Blessings.
Good morning, Lonestar. Thank you. May His Blessings be with you as well.
Amen, continuing prayers for FC, my heart aches for her loss. Our friend S is joining us with his prayers for our dear Feral Cat.
Good morning Betsy and Lonestar.
Good morning, G.💓 Ache is the word. It describes mine perfectly as well. I’m sure S has her in his prayers, and I pray she reads this. I know with certainty it would mean so much to her. Bless him and you…both very dear friends of mine.🙏
Hi Betsy. I’m in denial at the moment. Like ms Idaho said, he’s somewhere I can’t reach to talk. I’ll get through this stronger than ever. Sometime I’ll share the message I left his idiot doctor 😉 I’m in lurking mode. ❤️
🙂
I’m pretty sure I know what you mean. It’s the shock I think. I think you are one of the strongest people I know, based on your joyous posts in the past, without saying a word about what you and he were facing. No hint that you both were facing something we all do at some point, but when we are two souls made one? I’m glad you are lurking and sometimes popping in. I am hoping that will give you support as the days move on. I found this and have kept it…I hope you don’t mind, because knowing you, I’m praying it will be a heartfelt farewell for your husband…not goodbye…never goodbye. You will see him again.
Go forth, Christian soul, from this world in the name of God the almighty Father, who created you, in the name of Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, who suffered for you, in the name of the Holy Spirit, who was poured out upon you. Go forth, faithful Christian. May you live in peace this day, may your home be with God in Zion, with Mary, the Virgin Mother of God, with Joseph, and all the angels and saints. Amen.🙏
We…I…am always here, Cat. And when the days catch up with you, never forget there is love and support here for you always. I’ll even turn the fan on the highest it will go to blow it all your way.💓
How’d I miss this beauty!!! ☺️ ❤️ of
🤗💓🙏
I’m sorry cat!
Makes you question everything, and doubt and guilt seem to be readily available. Doubt, Guilt have no place in anyone, it’s definitely not of God.
Hi grandpa, please tell him to remember to focus on the leaves and grass blowing. Something’s always moving. Find it 😘 And something pretty at nite, like a ceramic tree lit up. 🤗 Love ya S ❤️ ❤️
I’m sure he’ll read your message. 💗💜💜💜
Mornin’ Betsy. Be blessed and be well . . . 🙂
Good morning, Garrison💓, my friend. I wish all God’s blessings on you and your bride🙏
Amen, Betsy jones. Please God watch over our precious Feral Cat. She needs your comfort and love at this time. Be with her and her family and give them peace.
Thank you Leon!

May Snow In Hawaii | Real Climate Science
Darn that Global Warming. How dare it make it snow. In May. In Hawaii. /s
How often does that mountain top get snow?
It can snow there any time of the year but mostly in the winter.

BTW if a person could climb Mauna Kea from it’s bottom in the ocean it would be the longest mountain climb on earth.

Vital Intercession
…praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit… —Ephesians 6:18
As we continue on in our intercession for others, we may find that our obedience to God in interceding is going to cost those for whom we intercede more than we ever thought. The danger in this is that we begin to intercede in sympathy with those whom God was gradually lifting up to a totally different level in direct answer to our prayers. Whenever we step back from our close identification with God’s interest and concern for others and step into having emotional sympathy with them, the vital connection with God is gone. We have then put our sympathy and concern for them in the way, and this is a deliberate rebuke to God.
It is impossible for us to have living and vital intercession unless we are perfectly and completely sure of God. And the greatest destroyer of that confident relationship to God, so necessary for intercession, is our own personal sympathy and preconceived bias. Identification with God is the key to intercession, and whenever we stop being identified with Him it is because of our sympathy with others, not because of sin. It is not likely that sin will interfere with our intercessory relationship with God, but sympathy will. It is sympathy with ourselves or with others that makes us say, “I will not allow that thing to happen.” And instantly we are out of that vital connection with God.
Vital intercession leaves you with neither the time nor the inclination to pray for your own “sad and pitiful self.” You do not have to struggle to keep thoughts of yourself out, because they are not even there to be kept out of your thinking. You are completely and entirely identified with God’s interests and concerns in other lives. God gives us discernment in the lives of others to call us to intercession for them, never so that we may find fault with them.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Awe is the condition of a man’s spirit realizing Who God is and what He has done for him personally. Our Lord emphasizes the attitude of a child; no attitude can express such solemn awe and familiarity as that of a child.
Bless your heart, Cat. You’ve been in mine🙏
I’ve been praying for you, dear Cat. 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️. S has been, too.
So very sorry for your loss, Cat…prayers being sent your way.🙏
Much to understand there!
We must have a personal relationship with Christ, not dying but living. The dying once filled is pruning not the constant sacrifice of death.
Child like faith is pretty much the answer after you know him. Or that ego wants to drive again.

Would we be?
We are, or peter could never have taken the step out of the boat onto the water.
That, is salvation and faith.

Gerry And The Pacemakers make their US television debut on the Ed Sullivan Show a full month before their first appearance on the Billboard chart with “Don’t Let The Sun Catch You Crying”.
3 May 1968
The theme song to TV’s to Hawaii 5-0 were recorded at Western Recorders in Hollywood. The song was written by Morton Stevens, arranged by George Tipton, and produced by Dave Pell. Although it was credited to The Ventures, who eventually did record it, this version was recorded by session musicians Ray Pohlman – bass, John Guerin – drums, Jim Horn – woodwinds, Tom Scott – sax, Pete Condoli – trumpet, Gene Estes – percussion, Tommy Tedesco – lead guitar, and Milt Holland – percussion.

Just got off the thread re. leaked SC document. Who leaked?
Medicare recently denied a cholecystectomy to an elder that I know. She told me the doctors told her she was “too old” (77) inspite of multiple gallbladder attacks. One of the worse case scenario risks of an inflamed gall bladder is, a gangrenous gall bladder. That will kill you. And for the most part, so will “Best Practices”. We are at the slippery slope of abortion.
There are multiple types of products on the market, to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
Christian teachings are against premarital sex, as well as abortion. Premarital sex brings emotional problems that most younger people cannot ‘handle’ and are not talked about by the purebred politicians.
We have to do a better job raising our kids and countering what goes on in the indoctrination centers and going to church and revering the natural family, is a start.
Many of her (Mother Teresa) quotes are old, 35+ years….but hold true today.

I just want to put this one out there
Good morning, Aggiegirl.
I think “leaked” is too mild a word for what has been done…this is or should be a felony, treason, stealing and disseminating to a news outlet for the primary purpose it now seems of inciting riots and chaos, so that such will change the mind(s) of sitting justices (small j).
Who’s to say whoever leaked didn’t do so on the orders of one of the justices? And yes, I’m looking at the 3 most left justices in the history of the SC. It would be in the interest of these hard left members to immediately dig up the source and turn him/probably her over to face charges. Otherwise, the SC has lost any authority they still have.
Don’t worry! CJ Roberts has the massive investigative capabilities of the Supreme Court Marshall on the case! What a joke!
Good Morning my friends.
Thank you for all your kind words and prayers yesterday. Reading them today filled me with comfort and affection for you all. Like friends do for each other ❤️
All of your posts made the water works start to flow. That’s a good thing, Phoenix started it and the rest of you kept them pouring. I appreciate it, I was numb and in “shock and needed the release. The kind of release only friends can give to friends. I love you all ❤️ Thank you for my memorial service to honor my loss. As Ive told some, I’m kinda in recluse territory and have outlived most of my face to face loved ones so our passing will be very much alone. You all made that better ❤️
Garrison and feisty’s choice of music today was very touching. 💋 ms Idaho’s dandy lions made me smile for a moment (thanks girl),
and Betsy and Grandpa, et al … you’re the best!!!!🥰 I must confess, I miss my mungrel. He could always make me smile with his kind posts. He made some of my darkest days brighter. 💋 Mungrel, can you hear me howling? I thought I heard you last night….
So life is for the living and the show must go on…..grass will grow, the hummingbirds return and the stars will shine at night.
I’ll continue to do the Lord’s work and post Oswald every day. Oswald, Spurgeon and all Gods words everyone posts, gives great comfort to all lurkers and non lurkers…
One thing I learned is how important it is to have a written book on financial instructions to leave your survivors. Please consider my suggestion 😉
And everyone,be careful out there, the cootie things I heard about from medical personnel would stand your hair on end. I’m afraid, it’s beginning 😔 no he wasn’t vaxxed. Take your ivermectin and vitamins 😘
Continued prayers for you and yours Cat. Your posts, and those of others here are a comfort to me. I lurked here and at Treehouse for many years before endeavoring to post.
God bless you and thank you by providing inspiration and example of the love of God and Christ even in your grief.
I am very sorry to just hear about your loss Mrs. FC. I just learned about this early this morning. Words cannot even possibly express the sorrow I feel for you right now.
I pray that the reflections of the moments of love that you and your husband shared can keep you comforted for the rest of time and may the good Lord continue his blessings upon you and your family. Much love,amiga.
Bless you, FC. May God give you strength to get through the next few weeks. 🙏❤️
I just read about your loss, cat. So sorry to hear that! You are probably walking around today in shock – not really feeling fully awake. I will pray for your peace and comfort. I DO know that love never dies, and that time may not heal all wounds, but it does make them livable.
Dearest Cat…I thought of Mungrel immediately I read your devastating post. I pray with all my heart that he still reads these threads. And if he does, I’m sure he is grieving with you. I know he is. I think you can count on that 100% . A great physical distance is inconsequential when two spirits are connected, as yours and his most definitely are.
So now, in the interest of complete disclosure, my tears are flowing. And those connect us, and all who will weep with you. God will be with you in the next chapter of you life. Bless you, girl. This Tree is sturdy and I’m certain God Himself is in these branches. I hope that is a supreme comfort for you…with deep affection, Bet💓🙏
Thanks for your post today. You hit several nails on the head – especially with your comment about being in recluse territory. Doc and I are holding each other’s hands (as we have been doing for years) with a hope / plea that we will be allowed to go together.
And mungrel – miss him too. I don’t howl – more of a sit in the corner and worry. Sudden disappearances are always troubling.
I liken the loss of a loved one to this image. They have moved to a location that we cannot access. There are no roads and no phones, no internet. They are there (with God) and we are here finishing up our life’s work.
The absolute most difficult job we have to do is ‘THY WILL BE DONE’.
Words are so inadequate for expressing feelings. That’s why music is so – so – awesome?
Dear Cat, I join everyone here in our prayers for you and know that the Lord is walking with you through this dark valley, and when needed He will lift you up and carry you.
🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Thinking of you today Feral Cat.
I’m very pleased you find solace in today’s music selections. I’ve always felt that music can fill emotional voids — it always has for me which is why I like to share. Be blessed and be well, Cat, and always, always know that Our Lord loves you.
How I agree wth you, G! Music is a great help. I’ve always always found it so.💓
Hello B! I found this one today while letting Pandora play. Wow, never heard of her.
Hope you are well – prayers all around. I saw your ‘small j’ emoji above and it was perfect.
Thanks everyone. Your postings are like a big hug that I can sob in. They’re a treasure on earth. I feel inadequate, not worthy of so much love from you all. There’s been so much heartache by so many😢 mine is just a passing moment. ❤️
We love you too. (bittersweet emoji)
Cat, I am so sorry for your great loss. I pray you feel the great comfort of the Lord’s wings wrapped around you tightly as you endure the deep grief. Also, may His peace that passes all understanding surround you and sustain you throughout each day.
I am, P….listening now!!
And yes…small j is all they are entitled to👍
That was lovely!! From 8 years ago?? I’d never heard of her either! Nor since that was recorded. Thank you for posting it. 💓
Music doesn’t lessen the hurt we feel from loss but it—sometimes anyway—can make the hurt from loss more bearable. May it be so for our ‘Cat.
We must go on. It is the only course. God Bless you!
NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CUSTARD DAY – 3 MAY
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.

Understand that during WW II there was never enough steel. In normal times hot rolled carbon steel that was used for Marine applications was “pickled and oiled”. The “Pickling” removes the mill scale from the steel and the oiling prevents rusting until it is removed just before painting or coating.
In the emergency of WW II standard hot rolled carbon steel as it came off the rolls was used for ship building. That steel has mill scale which is a natural trap for moisture and thus rusting. This was fine in time of war because they had plenty of crewmen to chip and wire brush and repaint when the rust started bubbling up the paint.
That constant labor intensive maintenance however is a real expensive problem for keeping the ships that have become war memorials in shape. It is also a reason why the many surplus Liberty ships available for commercial use after the war did not last that long in commercial service.

Mornin’ comrade infidels.
Simple dinner tonight.
Eckrich skinless Kielbasa. Cut the two sticks into 1/3rds and then split them to butterfly them. Grill the heck out of them. Add cheese of the flavor you desire (for me cheddar) at the last minute to melt over them or none at all. I prefer to make a sandwich with them. Yellow mustard and dill relish on Beefsteak light rye.
Polish salad on the side.
Nice thing about this is they are good cold also.
Kielbasa is split and everything out and the grill is fired up and getting hot as I write this.
That sounds like a great sandwich! And +1 for the rye.
Also if you like a good yellow mustard, try Whataburger’s Yellow Mustard. Whataburger is a burger joint that got it’s start in Texas back in the 50s. Now owned by an interest in Illinois. Still their mustard is the best straight up yellow mustard. Squirt out a portion of Whataburger mustard and compare it to kraft or heinz and you will see a real difference between them. Whataburger’s is slightly thicker with more mustard seed.

We hit the big box grocery store today to stock up on non-perishables. Prices are rising across the board and expected to continue. It’s expected to get worse with not only higher prices this summer but availability too.
In terms of provisions, what would you run out to get if you heard that a nuke went off somewhere in the world? First time would be of the essence where you may have less than hour before stores are overrun.
1.) Charcoal
2.) Propane
3.)
4.)
We’re stocked for at least a year and maybe 2 but that second year most likely won’t be fun for our pallette. We have a natural water well that is used only for irrigation and is run by an electric pump. So I bought a hand pump kit and a good water filtration solution for potable water. That’s why I think charcoal and propane is a good idea because we don’t stock much of it day to day and will need a way to boil water. We have a 5kW solar system but it only produces when the city power grid is healthy (protection for the linemen).
What would you want to get at the last minute to top off your supplies?
Thanks Coastal – your list is our list – take care of your non-perishables that are not in glass or metal cans (critters). A neighbor gave us 4 old-style travel trunks and we’ve bagged everything and sealed up tight. We’re storing shelf stable milk, powdered potatoes, tuna. Get yourself some ‘better than bouillon’ (your fave flavors). They’re made with real meat (or veg/fish) and will add flavor to otherwise flavorless food, like rice or pasta. We won’t make it a year I’m pretty sure. Help on the hand pump kit please – we have a well for same use, irrigation.
Don’t forget a few 1.75 l bottles of vodka and/or whiskey for bartering.
Thanks GrandpaM! Just bought a case of vodka. Good stuff (we had to test) Brand = Blank.
Add Peanut Butter (not to the vodka 😉
First Aid kit now includes sutures.
I had to start keeping a spreadsheet of what we have on-hand and WHERE its stashed due to having been on several scavenger hunts.
Excuse me, check out the berkey water system. they have recently upgraded some items, some are on back order. They’ve got water drops when they come in. Thought I read they treat the filtered? Water. I’ve been on this system for 12? Years. The two of us used one pair of the black filters with white filters added. Whites are for Floride/arsenic . Blacks lasted three/four years a set depending on demand. You scrub them gently to clean. You test the efficiency of the system by dropping red food dye in the upper tank. If it comes out clear, filters still working. I have a well and rain barrels. Berkey claims you can even filter stream water and drink it. I prefer the see thru one, not as pretty however, I can see when tanks need cleaned and water level better. I’m planning on using my metal roof to accumulate water in my 55 gallon tanks. When I ran my well dry gardening, I was banned to this system. 😆 they’ve got all sizes of containers in a normal world. Just my two cents. ❤️
Very good advice. Thank you Cat. Our property is located in a plat called Lampercock Springs – fresh spring water (they say_ I have not tried it – I may meander there tomorrow to take a sample – two telephone poles away. BTW – I’ve stashed cookie mix and Fritos. Our biggest challenge will be to keep the freezers working should/when the power goes out. My intuition tells me that an ‘accidental’ outage will occur in the deep summer so no one will have access to freezing temperatures for outside storage. I have mild to moderate ESP; gift or curse.

I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word!
I didn’t ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn’t mind).
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that He be near you
At the start of each new day;
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way!
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small.
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all!

Hey, anyone else seeing change shortages? Clerk told me, they can only get coin delivered by mail (USPS?) . They’re weighing the coin rolls/bunches if you take in some. And wonder how that’s accurate with the “weightless new coin? 🤔 and no grocery bags unless you pay for them, starting tomorrow in joisy..
Creating the shortage – get rid of real money. Keep ‘your’ change.
Saving all my Walmart bags for the day they stupidly decide to say bring your own. I’ve got hundreds… Ok…an exaggeration but it surely does seem like it.
I’ve been using them to collect my barker eggs. You can throw any you want to be rid of in my direction. Use your boomerang 😝
Yes, our Kroger owned store has had signs taped to their self checks for a long time. They have 2 self check clusters of 6 each, they converted the oldest ones for credit only, the other 6 may or may not accept cash assuming it has enough change in it.
I have made some sarcastic comments to personnel who claim (or are told) that it is because the bill takers are not functional but I call B/S.
I think they just do not have enough change to fill them up.
It is incredibly annoying with people who are using the cash taking machines and then use a credit card in them, especially if only 2 of the 6 accept cash that day especially when the employee says the next one is open but….. it only takes cards…. I GOT CASH.
I could go to a human line assuming they even have ONE open but it usually has someone with a cart or 2 full of stuff. SMH
