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, Garrison 💓 What a lovely selection especially the last one. Very nice! That rhythm is very sensuous I think. All blessings to you and your beloved wife, my friend🤗
Good Morning Betsy!!!! ❤️
Hi, Betsy! Yep. Joao Bosco is the very best. He’s obviously very demanding of quality from his musicians. I’ve been listening to his music and watching his videos for years and years now.
He really loves his art. I can tell!
Always smooooooth…..Now if I could just figure out the time signature on that last one…. !
Samba is a lively, rhythmical dance of Afro-Brazilian origin in 2/4(2 by 4) time danced to samba music whose origins include the Maxixe.

EMPTY SHELVES JOE
Sure gives the lie to the shroud of Turin, and testifies to the prescience of the Holy Spirit.
Beyond John’s eyewitness testimony, through the apostles our eyes have also been opened to understand from the OT Scripture that he must rise from the dead.
Since we lost our border collie, Sweetie, several years back I’ve been debating whether or not to get another dog. I’m of “a certain age” which presents it’s own dilemmas—I’d hate to leave behind a loyal companion when I go . . . Then there’s my wife’s slow decline. She’s in advanced stage Alzheimer’s and so I’m not sure how a dog would fit in. Sweetie was such a wonderful comanion. She was perfect for us. My wife was still ambulatory, enjoying long walks in our safe neighborhood with her constant companion, Sweetie. I never worried about her getting lost because I was confident that Sweetie, being a border colliee, would always bring her home. Like most of our pet companions, Sweetie died quietly here at home. She was secure to the end, knowing that she was loved by her people. So the question is—should we get another dog? I’m thinking about the prospects of getting an elderly dog, one who approximates our chronological age. Dunno. We’ll see . . .
Happy Cursday, Treepers!

If my vote mattered 🤭 I’d say yes. 😉 I would be lost without my two, especially now. I ended up with a little young pup which I never intended. We were leaning towards a senior, one with the energy level of ours. I have found that the companionship of a dog was the best for us both, and the older one I had, helped my hubby, emotionally as well as nudging him to take a nap.
Good luck making your decision. 🤞
I think bonding is as much a question of chance as deliberation. Our companions have all been foundlings. When my wife rescued Scamp, a little terrier mix we were presented with a real challenge. He was aggressive to everyone but us. I was worried about how he’d get along with the kitties but they and him figured things out pretty quickly. I took him to an animal shelter which treated him harshly and then told me he was not acceptable to them . . . I sat in their reception area and the little guy came over and snuggled against me. I knew at that moment that he was coming home. He turned out to be a great little guy. Aggressive to everyone but us and the kitties but we managed for the years he was with us. He loved his people and loved his kitties! But the seriously hated the bostman!!!
Awwww. He knew a good thing when he saw it and you did to! 🥰
When my parents were getting a divorce, and my sister and I were with my Mom, we got a little miniature schnauzer named Heidi. I don’t know where she had been before, but she HATED men. She would hang out by the window and if a man walked by, she would stand up and bark ferociously even after he had passed. My mom was particularly fond of her at that time. Later on, when she started dating again, not so much!! We all needed her love and companionship during that time, though. Dogs and cats can fill a hole in our hearts with their unconditional love.
Hi Garrison – look here for the sweetest-looking bonded pair in Brownsboro Texas (not sure if still available).

They are cuties!
There is also map on their website with locations, etc.
And other available Springers!
You could try fostering, or dog sitting. I swore I would never get another dog and got into dog sitting. I could enjoy the company of a dog w/out the vet bills and wasn’t tied down to a commitment, plus the extra cash was nice. I was also selective, I would interview the owners and the dogs prior to keeping them to make sure it was a good fit. Some become quite regular once the owner realized the freedom they could have if they didn’t have to worry about their dog being cared for. The dogs were happy to not be in a kennel.
Fostering is harder than sitting, because you get attached and then they have to leave, or not. I now have several cats because my job was to make sure they used the litter box, got neutered, and were socialized.
Fast forward several years, one of the dogs I kept owners had a baby, the dog couldn’t stand the baby thus he ended up as mine. Just how things work out sometimes. He has been the best dog and I am grateful for all he has done for me.
If you get another dog I would suggest getting a small one as opposed to a big one for a variety of reasons which I am sure you know, sometimes the dogs pick us though and we have no control over it. Let God and the Universe guide you.
As a memory sidebar, one of the dogs I used to sit for I would take to the eldercare facility where my dad was, my dad was in a wheelchair and when we would go on our outings my dad would take the leash and the dog would pull him along like a sled. Had to be there, but it was a hoot, it made everyone smile, and best of all it made my dad happy.
I foster cared dogs for many years. It’s very rewarding.
And when people find a dog they can’t live without–we jokingly call it–foster fail. And it’s a good thing when that happens! Best thing to fail at!!!
The presence of an animal almost always has a positive effect on memory care patients.
My sister worked with one lady who had to move into a facility and had always had a cat. She bought a stuffed toy cat as a present for her that looks so real. And the lady treats it as if it is! She loves it.
Talk to your local shelter and rescue organizations and tell them what you are looking for.
Senior dogs are great…but keep your options open. Same with size,etc. Tell them your preference, but that you are open for their suggestions.
My brother adopted a 4 yr old Lab from his shelter….that lab is so laid back you would think he is 12-14 years old.
People who work with finding forever homes for dogs ..most of us want both dog and owners to be happy!
And I fostered for a breed adoption…and it was stressed that if the owners found the match didn’t work, their circumstances changed..and they had to give the dog up—they would give it back to us.
And it would happen now and then-divorce, health, etc. And we always found another good home.
Keep us posted!
Will keep you in my prayers.
after watching the video, I say Go for it!
“Should we get another dog?”…I would say follow your heart.If it were me…yes.
As someone who might understand your situation a little bit,I have found that anything that can draw some attention to “other things”,and give them something to focus on,is helpful.
I’m not sure if I’m explaining myself well,but I pray that you will find the answer your looking for…with the help of our Lord Jesus Christ,from whom all good things come.Stay blessed my friend. 🙂
I too witnessed the stoic “you got another dog?” burly man starting to turn to jelly and a extreme tender look for jack, starting to tenderly care for the small mutt. Something had wormed near his ❤️. Never thought something could pervade into that spot behind the wall. It’s a very good mind’s eye picture and memory.
Absolutely FC…I firmly believe the unconditional love of a pet warms the heart and can cure a lot of ailments.
I hope you are doing well my friend and may God’s blessings accompany you every moment of the day. 🙂
Yes, but get two! We feel they do better in pairs and it might lessen your worry about leaving one behind?
Get another dog for yourself, Garrison. For you.
Absolutely dream!!!! I found the older one is more lively and stimulated with her own friend. You know, like us? 🥰
I love this idea DreamGuardian! Bonded pairs are not hard to find; they love each other and keep themselves company and entertained while you get the benefit of two doggie to love. I can imaging two not being underfoot as much as one that might want you undivided attention. Good luck Garrison – I’m in the ‘adopt’ camp.
Far be it from me to suggest that perhaps a new family member would be a comfort for your wife, Garrison…but I am seriously wondering if that might be worth considering. And a comfort for you as well.
I know how Sweetie’s absence has left a tremendous hole in your life. She was one in a million. God will guide you in this. But I am inclined to think it would be a tremendous blessing for you, her, and whatever lucky dog is out there which has your name on him or her…a power of good for both of you.😘
Feel your pain Garrison. A tough decision.
Thru my life I have been at the side of many “best friends” when it was time to say goodbye. Always tough, always sad.
Somehow I think it is God’s plan for my “best friend” to be at my side offering comfort when my own time comes to say “goodbye”.
EVERYBODY . . . Thanks so much for your kind and thoughtful comments. Conversations like this are one of the best things about the Treehouse community. Sometimes you get the dog but, then, sometimes the dog gets you. This is something I truly believe in so I’m pretty confident that a canine companion is in our future. I just can’t say when. It might be a Scamp, it might be a Sweetie but I know what a bond feels like. And when that happens I’ll know ‘fer sure.
For Ad rem. A little while ago I posted an “EVERYBODY . . .” comment underneath my Cursday post. I can’t find it so would you please check and see if you can find t for me? Thanks!
Sure….will check!
LOL….It’s right above you! (Don’t know why there was a delay….)
Ascii walkabout. Thanks, Ad rem.

The Habit of Having No Habits
If these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful… —2 Peter 1:8
When we first begin to form a habit, we are fully aware of it. There are times when we are aware of becoming virtuous and godly, but this awareness should only be a stage we quickly pass through as we grow spiritually. If we stop at this stage, we will develop a sense of spiritual pride. The right thing to do with godly habits is to immerse them in the life of the Lord until they become such a spontaneous expression of our lives that we are no longer aware of them. Our spiritual life continually causes us to focus our attention inwardly for the determined purpose of self-examination, because each of us has some qualities we have not yet added to our lives.
Your god may be your little Christian habit— the habit of prayer or Bible reading at certain times of your day. Watch how your Father will upset your schedule if you begin to worship your habit instead of what the habit symbolizes. We say, “I can’t do that right now; this is my time alone with God.” No, this is your time alone with your habit. There is a quality that is still lacking in you. Identify your shortcoming and then look for opportunities to work into your life that missing quality.
Love means that there are no visible habits— that your habits are so immersed in the Lord that you practice them without realizing it. If you are consciously aware of your own holiness, you place limitations on yourself from doing certain things— things God is not restricting you from at all. This means there is a missing quality that needs to be added to your life. The only supernatural life is the life the Lord Jesus lived, and He was at home with God anywhere. Is there someplace where you are not at home with God? Then allow God to work through whatever that particular circumstance may be until you increase in Him, adding His qualities. Your life will then become the simple life of a child.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
No one could have had a more sensitive love in human relationship than Jesus; and yet He says there are times when love to father and mother must be hatred in comparison to our love for Him.
Good morning, Cat💓 There’s that word “hatred”again, this time a little more nuanced. It still jars, I must say.
David wrote the appropriate context in which hatred is justified and not sinful…..
Psalm 139:19-24
(Good Morning Betsy! I hope your day is blessed!)
Afternoon, GB.💓 I’m just now able to see your lovely response as our Texas electricity went out early this morning and is only now back on. And it’s HOT!!
Thank you for that Psalm, which I will read now. I think in this Chambers sermon he is using hatred as a comparative, as in the degree to which we should rightly love our Saviour. With a love so fierce that it far outshines the love we have for others in our lives. Given that that is so…if I understand correctly…all is suddenly clear.
All blessings to you, my friend. Thank you.
Religion is the habit, relationship is the constant prodding of the Holy Spirit. (By the way, Jesus is the husband, head of the marriage. Which is a mans RESPONSIBILITY in the house not the woman, to lead spiritually.)
Religion is the trellis that holds us and trains our growth, Jesus said no. Throw off the trellis.
Now, we physical humans will cling to that trellis. The older more set in our ways we are means that growth on the trellis is so entwined it’s impossible to remove without excessive damage. “Camel through the eye of a needle” God can if allowed.
And understand this because it should never go
without mention. That freedom from The trellis of religion is not easy. You will follow your loves but, that is why you remove religion from your walk with God. So who you are is apparent to ‘you’ God knows who you are and to see you must be free to choose.
Prayer is not religion, bible reading is not, attending church is not, but it can be if your love is elsewhere.
You need to know these things before you are released from this physical
body.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Christ is risen!
Truly He is risen!
Indeed, He is Risen!
The Paschal Troparion
Christ is risen from the dead, by death hath He trampled down death, and on those in the graves hath He bestowed life. (sung thrice)
The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
Prayer of Saint Ioannikios the Great of Bithynia (+ 846)
My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection the Holy Spirit. O Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.

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)

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. I John 4:7
The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto us. Rom. 5:5
Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, Abba Father. The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. Rom. 8:15, 16
He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself. I John 5:10
In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. I John 4:9
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. Eph. 1:7
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. Eph. 2:7
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. I John 4:11

National Limerick Day!
There once was a ROTUS named Biden
who acts really weird when he’s lying.
Whether he whispers or shouts
he’s creeping us out.
We’d prefer he was with Hunter who’s hiding.
🤣🤣🤣👍
NATIONAL LIMERICK DAY
Observed annually on May 12th, National Limerick Day celebrates the birthday of English artist, illustrator, author, and poet Edward Lear (May 12, 1812 – Jan. 29, 1888). Lear is known mostly for his literary nonsense in poetry, prose, and limericks.
The day also celebrates the limerick poem. Limerick poems were popularized by Edward Lear’s book “Book of Nonsense” in 1846. A limerick is a very short, humorous, nonsense poem. Within a limerick, there are five lines. The first two lines rhyme with the fifth line and the third and fourth line rhyme together.
The Limerick also has a particular rhythm which is officially described as anapestic trimeter.

LIMERICK TO PRESIDENT TRUMP
Dear Mr. President we hope you are resting
Away from the turmoil of this vesting
For all you have been through
We humbly applaud you
While we pray for an end to the testing.
We offer you a warm cup of tea
As your family heaps love on thee
Our prayers rise up to God
From your earthly God squad
To secure peaceful harmony.
We thank you for standing strong
Through the attacks all along
We are here by your side
Our pain we can’t hide
It is where we believe we belong.
We know the truth has been revealing
From what they have done we are reeling
But you stood tall
And through it all
We knew there would be no more stealing.
You promised us we would be winning
While others were deep in their sinning
You told us each day
And showed us the way
Today is only the beginning.
We believed you then as we do now
America would be great again somehow
Reciprocal is what you said
Inequality would be dead
Proof in the pudding shown in the dow.
Companies would return with their jobs
Investments would soar in the Schwabs
We could not believe
What was done to deceive
By those loony lefty mob slobs.
We thank you oh so wholeheartedly
You are our hero greatheartedly
For lifting us up
We raise our cup
To President Trump warm heartedly.
Duchess:: 02/04/2018
Thank you
That is perfect
I have an endless email conversation going with an old friend I have known 50+ years. This song came up as a topic several times recently. LOL the times we live in…
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.
Amen.
Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake; watch over us as we sleep, that awake, we may keep watch with Christ, and asleep, rest in his peace. Amen.

Dzien Dobry (good morning)
Through this hard time of facing the facts, I am beginning to learn that the living virtues of God’s Love and Satan’s Evil in my life (and in the lives of us all) are indeed at war. They war, constantly, for control of human thoughts, desires, emotions, compulsions. No one is exempt. Whether we know it or not, all are foot-soldiers in this war. Satan uses those who are oblivious to construct an elaborate global camouflage, concealing the agonies of this war. The camouflage is established in the lives of many: some are perhaps well-meaning, but they are ignorant and oblivious of the war. They are deceived. The global system today is a system that promotes lust for Satan’s glories and powers in the present world:
Again, Satan took him up into an exceeding high mountain and showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And Satan said unto him, All this power and glory will I give to you, for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will, I give it. If you therefore will worship me, all shall be thine. And Jesus answered and said, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. LUKE 4:5-8
I see the FBI is targeting parents concerned about their lack of input on school boards.
Obviously, this is, as the doddering, senile, superannuated sock puppet who by way of election fraud now sits in the Oval Office the nation’s number one concern.
The FBI is all over it.
The FBI is a renegade, out of control, criminal organization no different than the Mafia, except it has more power.
Remember that commercial about how the Army gets more things done than you do before 9:00 AM?
Before 9:00 AM, Your average FBI Agent gets up, suborns perjury, alters official documents (302’s), destroys evidence under subpoena, withholds exculpatory evidence, hides Brady Material, lies under oath to the court, lies under oath to Congress, ignores the 4th amendment and supplies ex nihilo, out of whole cloth, phony evidence then initiates with no predicate, investigations into perceived enemies of the D 卐 M ☭ CRAT party, conduct pre-dawn raids on “dangerous” septuagenarians, illegally leaks classified material to sympathetic press pack dogs who work in support of the D 卐 M ☭ CRAT Imperium, slow rolls subpoenas for FOIA information and lies about the need to classify ever more evidence that the American public should be able to see and again, that is before 9 o’clock.
Again, the FBI initiates investigations which are disguised in order to entrap innocent, down and out Americans (See Gretchen Whitmer) in order to further their political goals. They entrap innocent Americans as they did on Jan. 6th (Hundreds of FBI Agents were there, encouraging grocery boys and grandmothers into the building so the Department of “Justice” could imprison them with no Habeas Corpus and no hopes for a fair trial in an enemy city, in enemy territory, filled with enemies who want us dead.), again, withhold exculpatory evidence (14,000 hours of video which would show very little criminal intent, but would reveal the faces of hundreds of agents/provocateurs.). They ARE, absolutely, the American Gestapo.
Comey, Wray, Stroch, etc., the entire 7th floor of the FBI over the last 10 years, should be indicted, prosecuted, convicted and incarcerated for the betrayal of trust, treason and the ongoing, RICO like, thug transnational gang operations they have initiated with Mens rae, premeditated criminal intent.
Tear the FBI building down and sow salt in the earth where it once stood.
There are no better angels on the shoulders of the Fascists in the Deep State.
The Federal Government, soup to nuts is now captured and no more than an enforcement arm of the DNC.
Tear it out root and branch and administer the much needed correction (Including the executions of traitors.) appropriate to all parties concerned.
Joe Biden is a fraud and a traitor.
…amongst other hideous things.
excellent comment
Just a quick story.
While talking to my son yesterday he mentioned his girlfriend woke to find a cross on her shoulder. They were impressed.
She has been dealing with issues of late that brought many things into her view.
She is deeply embedded in this worlds ways and my wife and I cannot understand my sons attraction to her. We are appalled at her lack of morals.
My wife prays for our son to be delivered but he just goes deeper.
I learned if you ask for blessings on a person you are at odds with God steps in, it’s quite glorious to behold, if you leave it to him.
It’s like a barometer, so to speak, of their true intentions once he begins his work.
If they line up or straighten up quickly, you know they probably did not intend harm. If it becomes an ordeal, prolonged? They have bad intentions. Even those could be unknown to them, as I am about to describe. God would have no one go to hell, it’s our choice to separate.
My wife started intense prayer and blessings on her as I also. Things started to move quickly, as if God was waiting for that permission.
The girl began her decent into numerous issues that brought her to a state of realization. She began to ask for church, which was immediately answered by a random.
My son was so impressed and that’s when I told him.
“Your mom and I began to pray for her.”
He asked “so bad things are now happening to her?”
“No, God doesn’t work like that. The bad is always there but you cannot see it.”
So this is when the Holy Spirit stepped in. I said “if you work in a sewer plant that smell is all over you, you cannot detect it anymore anywhere. If you work in a florist shop you smell flowers and those are what you smell like. The smell of sewer would be obvious to you. It’s what is happening to your girlfriend.”
He was very quiet.
It was also brought to my attention, “he will hold her in hell or heaven regardless”. To save one they both must be saved. And that fits his personality perfectly. He rescues people. The boy has had the spirit on him since birth.
Wow. Palerider, thanks for sharing such a magnificent story!
Well, after a couple slow weeks I’m back at it again. Two runs to KC and back and now OT leaving out tomorrow at 02:30 to go do a Toyota replacement parts milk run in Ohio with a stop in Plainfield, IN.
But my lady is taking care of me. When I got in this morning she had cut up watermelon and cantaloupe in the fridge and darn good looking fresh roast beef from the deli ready for me.
How fortunate you are, rah. Be safe on the road. B
Man, that food group sounds great! Lucky guy, you have a winner there! 👍
