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 †

Morning Ya’ll 🙂
I did NOT know that “The Beav” was also a Recording Artist!
Quite the entrepreneur investing his money wisely as an adult.
Good morning Jay. You are the vehicle of my first lesson of this new day in the category of “learned something new”.
Cheers to you and yours and have a great day!
👍🏻😎
mornin’ Jay
have a blessed day
May the road rise up to meet you and the wind always on your back, God Bless 😃
the wsj editorial board weeps that TRUMP may cause Abrams to be gov of Georgia. so, we all know GA is open primary and the dems had no alternative to Stacy so they picked up Republican ballots and voted for Kemp and Rastenburger. I really don’t see any difference between Stacy and Brian. Let Georgia howl.
May be time to bring back Uncle Billy and his dashing Yankee boys. but probably not as Georgia is lost for ever. Please remind me why we fought the Civil War.
So the real question becomes one of just where do Kemp and Rastenburger go? GA. is MAGA. Regardless of how the primary got manipulted, both Kemp and Restenburger know the consequences that being anti-Trump means anti-MAGA which, like it or not, represents the Republican core. I predict that they’ll make their piece with Trump, he’ll extract his pound of flesh (perhaps a pinkie finger-tip) from each, and then support them in the Nov. election. Needs must.
The very real issue of open primaries sill remains, however. This is what created the mess in California (along with ranked choice voting). It is not uncommon in the general election in CA to find two Democrats on the ballot and NO Republican. BEWARE of ranked choice primaries.
Why can’t Georgia pull a Murkowski and write in Kandiss Taylor? Is it possible?
Abrams was chosen by the globalist, anyone helping put her in office is working with the globalists. It is also why the fight against her is so constant, some realize she is one more piece in their puzzle for globalist take over.
War in general is to bring money and power into the hands of the ruling class. From what I understand, it was provocation by groups to cause hate and anger, as today.
To encourage insanity has brought us here. Where do we find civility? It only comes from God and to look elsewhere is insane.
Interesting times these are. It’s as if two polar opposites when introducing biblical principles, the way people are afraid of even mentioning God or his word. And demons do go crazy when the word is spoken around them, it causes great anguish.
One more . . . Anyone remember ‘Sly Stone? Amazing how innocent those times now seem . . .
Good Morning Garrison!!!
Those sly memories 🥰
Can never forget your first…..concert!!! 💕 😎
Mornin’ Cat! 🙂
🙂 🙂
Mornin’ jay. 🙂
That was wonderful! And yes, I remember Sly and the Family Stone–still have their album…
Happy Cursday, Treepers!!! Remembering Sweetie. Remembering you past companions too.
One more 🎶 skip to 1.4 minute mark for song 😉
Dog song 🎵
Good morning Garrison. Awesome! They are such great family members. But, oh, the heartache of saying goodbye.
Have a great day. Cheers!
Good morning Garrison💓
Sweetie can’t be forgotten. I think through your remembrances we love her as much as you did.
My daughter nearest me has this week given her heart “to a a dog to tear” per wise Kipling.
A little female terrier/poodle cross whose first three years of life have been spent in an apartment with 19 other dogs, she most definitely losing out on space, food, and love. And as a result she is tiny, frightened, wary and undernourished.
But she has the sweetest face and captured my daughter’s heart and that of my granddaughter who dragged her mother to a weekend adopt a pet event.
The Mags (our other granddog) is just fine with her new companion, though it will take time and lots of it to earn Pepper’s trust. But after only one week there are signs it will eventually happen. She’s eating, signals when she wants to go out, and has snaffled Maggie’s very soft bed where she luxuriates in blessed undisturbed sleep most of the day…a thing I doubt she could do in a over run apartment. It hurts my heart to imagine.
So one little life made so much better this week. She’ll be loved. An as she develops trust, then she’ll discover how much.
Good Morning Betsy ❤️
Awwww your family rescue touches my heart in so many ways. 19 dogs in an apartment???? Just the thought of all of those doggies 😢.
Have a blessed day, my friend 😘
Thanks, Cat. Yes, that many, which is why they were removed. The attendance at this pet adoption even was apparently massive. Such a good thing. She’ll be a work in progress, but worth it.
God bless you and your family, Betsy. Thank you for your heart warming stories. They make my heart glad in these difficult times.
Good morning, Lonestar💓 Thank you so much. Really, as we have no control over almost everything destructive and evil in this world, I’ve taken Catherine Austin Fitts’s very good advice (though I’ve subscribed to it for a long time) believing we can all make a difference to somebody, including animals, within our own sphere. Leaving it, as my mother always said, better than we found it. One small act of kindness at a time. Thankfully, all three of mine believe the same and are making certain their children understand the power in doing likewise. Blessings to you, Ls.
Good afternoon Betsy, you warmed my heart today. Blessings to you and yours! ❤️
New picture just sent. Pepper has gotten on the couch and the Mags has joined her. PROGRESS!!!!!💓
Wonderful story, Betsy. Sorry I’m so late responding. I’ve had a demanding day and only just now got back to the Treehouse.
Oh bless, Garrison. I’m sorry. You must be completely worn out. So many prayers for you both🙏
“Deliver us from evil…”
is undoubtedly reference to the false president and his courtesans.
When children and innocents are slain, their only solution, is, “Ban guns.”
Not the guns guarding their sorry asses and their money, but the guns that would restore us to a safer and saner Nation.
“We have no money for school protection,” they bleat, as they send tens of billions of dollars to foreign sycophants.
It is difficult, at best, to contain our emotions and outrage when they politicize dead children. Yes, Red, THEY ARE EVIL.
Keep your faith at the front and emotions at the back and pray often. God bless!
They talk out of both sides of their mouths. Abortions good vs false tears for those wee ones lost. They meet themselves coming and going in their twisted evil perverse pronouncements. I paint each one, be they an R or a D, with the same broad brush. And I do it in a fetching shade of hypocrisy and cold bloodedness. The colour suits them.
26 May 1963
Elvis Presley records “(You’re The) Devil In Disguise”, which will peak at #3 on the Billboard chart
26 May 1967
The Beatles masterpiece, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” was released in the UK, one week before its American debut. The album took over 700 hours to record under the direction of George Martin and cost $75,000 to produce. A then state-of-the-art four track recorder was used to build each song layer by layer. The LP spent 15 weeks at number one in the US. The iconic album cover, depicting the band posing in front of a collage of celebrities and historical figures, was designed by English pop artists Peter Blake and Jann Haworth based on a sketch by Paul McCartney. “Sgt. Pepper” has now sold over 30 million copies worldwide.
26 May 1971
Don McLean records “American Pie”. Although he never actually mentions their names, most music lovers assume he is singing about February 3rd, 1959, when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J. P. Richardson were killed in a plane crash, as ‘the day the music died.’ When asked about the meaning of the song, McLean responded, “You will find many interpretations of my lyrics, but none of them by me …”
Good Morning rebel!!!
Awesome start to the day 🥰
Thank you ❤️
Good morning Cat, got an early start but maybe will catch up with you later. ❤️
Morning, G💓. Catch up with you and your early start later.
Said hi upthread just now. Spending the day in San Antonio. Have a CE (even though retired I still like to maintain my license) and my next vein procedure tomorrow.
I am sad I had to miss Nipper’s end of school pizza party but my bride was able to make it and At least I took him to school this morning. He informed me that I could attend the party in the classroom but only the kids were getting pizza, not the adults. LOL! Made sure that he knew I’d be out of town and unable to be there.
Running some other errand while in San Antonio.
Oh I’m sorry, too, G. And I’m sure while Nipper missed you, I’ll bet he understood. It would probably bother him to be eating pizza on front of you🤗 It warms my heart to think of the team you two make💓
I’m sure I wouldn’t recognize San Antonio now. Lived there for four years and first daughter born at Methodist Hospital. She has her 47th coming up in a few days. It’s a real shock to put that in print!
Another procedure? My goodness, you’ll have no legs left!! Good wishes for another successful visit.🙏
Good Morning grandpa ❤️
Ditto 😘
🥰 🤗 The update is right above.
Good morning Gramps. Hope it’s a great one. Cheers!
Good afternoon Levi! Cheers mate!
Good morning, Cat💓 Hoping your day is smooth and peaceful.
😘 see upthread 🙋♀️
Happy Thursday, Feral Cat 😊
Good morning Rebel. You got me going again. I’m a sucker for the music of my youth.
Have yourself a rockin good day. Cheers!
Good morning, Levi. Where did the time go?? Those days were the best for music, which will stand the test of time. Today’s? Not so much I think.
Good morning Betsy. Amen on that. WOW did we ever have great music. And we also had great fun, always frolicking outside, an abundance of neighborhood friends to play with, safety, freedom, the great outdoors were ours. Honestly, I have not idea what that radio noise is today.
Have a great one. Cheers!
Thanks, Levi. We in this house are revisiting the past more often now.
It’s interesting because as my husband is British who grew up in post war Britain, his experiences were both similar and very different to mine. If that makes sense. Good old days to a child there, even though he remembers well how his parents struggled.
Happy Thursday, Levi
Good morning, Rebel, FC, GrandpaM, Betsy, Levi!
Y’all have a blessed day 😀
Good Morning Lonestar! ❤️
Happy Thursday, Lonestar
Back at you Lonestar!
“American Pie” – never gets old. What a fabulous voice in live performance…
Misc: Ritchie Valens’ real surname was Valenzuela. His version of “La Bamba”, which became so popular at the time, was pretty much a butchered vocabulary paraphrase of the old, well-known piece. That being said, he made it fun for the English speaking fan base to sing along.
‘Those were the days, my friend. We thought they’d never end…”
Here’s One More
26 May 1973
Deep Purple‘s “Smoke On The Water” is released. The song is based on the true story of how someone had fired a flare gun into the ceiling of the Casino in Montreux, Switzerland, during a concert by Frank Zappa And The Mothers Of Invention. The resulting fire destroyed the building where Deep Purple was set to record a live album the next day. The single will reach #5 in the US
Good morning rebel! The vinyl made it’s way behind the iron curtain not too long after the release. Deep purple was one of the preferred bands that we listened to in high school.
Ditto that, Gramps. We are apparently of similar vintage.
65 years young.
Outstanding. I’ll catch up to you later this year. It’s good to be young, especially in our older years 😉
Amen! Don’t know what would I do if I were old. 😂
NATIONAL BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE DAY – May 26
The most gorgeous, perfect cheesecake I ever made was when I lived in Wales. I surprised myself, it was that perfect.
Left it out on top of the stove to cool, left the room, and when I came back, there on top of the stove was our barn cat, Buster, licking his chops. Gone was the top of the cheesecake. He had come over the bottom half of our back Dutch door.
The end.
That is the most beautiful cheesecake I have ever seen in my life. PERFECT.
😁
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
thank you, Betsy, for the only good laugh of the day. I can relate…………………..
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Hahaha!!! I’d love to know your experience, Lonestar!
I must have stood there for ages in a combination of complete disbelief and utter outrage…at myself for leaving it in plain view. He looked very pleased with himself, did Buster. As well he should have. I bet it was delicious.😂
Oh and how your reply has made me laugh😂😂😂!!!!
A HYMN OF GLORY LET US SING
He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight. While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white clothing, who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”
— Acts 1: 7-11, WEB
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
— Colossians 3: 1-4
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
This hymn is sung in observance of the Festival of the Ascension of our Lord. This year the festival falls on May 26 — today. Our congregation will be singing it next Sunday.
The words are attributed to The Northumbrian monk Bede (673 – 735). He is best known for writing The Ecclesiastical History of the English People. According to Wikipedia, Bede was “a skilled linguist and translator, and his work made the Latin and Greek writings of the early Church Fathers much more accessible to his fellow Anglo-Saxons, which contributed significantly to English Christianity.”
The tune is titled “Lasst Uns Erfreuen” (let us rejoice), named for the hymn for which it was first used. Wikipedia says this was in a Roman Catholic hymnal published in Germany in 1623. From their omission of the composer’s name, I assume he or she is unknown to us now. The tune has been used for many different hymns in a variety of church traditions, appearing (per hymnary.org) in over 400 English-language hymnals.
My prayer is for the blessings of our crucified, risen, and ascended Lord to be with each of us.
We on earth cannot possibly imagine the sound of those thousands upon thousands whose voices will be heard on that day. I’m watching and listening.
Come Thou long expected Jesus!🙏
The organ in that hymn was magnificent, 1530, as suits the majesty of the day.🙏
Love you for that, 1530💓 Thank you.
Ah, thank God for Charles Wesley.
And Hyfrydol a good Welsh tune, to boot.
Thank you , 1530, for reminding me of this hymn.
He gave us so many wonderful hymns, Ls…vigorously agree.
Oh my, Flyover!!!! Thank you so very much for this wonderful and uplifting performance.
The Cambridge Singers AND John Rutter, composer and conductor par excellence. I’ve always adored the Cambridge Singers whose voices are simply perfection.
Together with the accompanying instruments, this is well and truly a masterpiece fit for the presence of our Lord and Saviour. I like to think this times a million times a million would be the sound of those thousand 1530 writes of above.
My heart is soaring. The best Britain offers in terms of choral performances at which they always excel.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Christ is risen!
Truly He is risen!
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.
The 50th Psalm (Septuagint)
From Small Compline
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)
“Learn always to remember and to pronounce the name of God with great faith, reverence, love, and a grateful heart. Never pronounce it heedlessly.”
Saint John of Kronstadt (+ 1908)
From his book “My Life in Christ”
page 509 of the 1994 printing
An old posting of mine returns to the front of my thinking, I think it goes like this….when you breathe in and out, you are saying Yahweh!!! ❤️
Gracious morning Sepp!
Thank you for all your reminders 😘 ❤️
Learned this at a jobsite a few weeks ago. Client was sitting on tailgate of her truck, and said she’d just learned it and was practicing saying, ‘Yahweh’ and feeling the incoming air, and outgoing.
Naturally, we both began saying, “Yahweh”, feeling the breath of God coming in, going out, realizing it is our very air, in/out, ALWAYS.
Her husband walks up, What are ya’ll talking about?
Glad it was the only topic able to trump all the large equipment, contractors, etc……
Husband seemed relieved, we weren’t discussing anything adding $$$ to the project ! Yet, on board with our new joy in saying Yahweh.
Good to see you adding this Feral Cat. Thank you.
🥰 it’s a nice meditation, isn’t it? 🥰 loved your story ☺️ thanks ❤️

May 26 Oswald Chambers
Think As Jesus Taught
Pray without ceasing. — 1 Thessalonians 5:17
We think rightly or wrongly about prayer according to the conception we have in our minds of prayer. If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood flows ceaselessly, and breathing continues ceaselessly; we are not conscious of it, but it is always going on. We are not always conscious of Jesus keeping us in perfect joint with God, but if we are obeying Him, He always is. Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life. Beware of anything that stops ejaculatory prayer. “Pray without ceasing,” keep the childlike habit of ejaculatory prayer in your heart to God all the time.
Jesus never mentioned unanswered prayer; He had the boundless certainty that prayer is always answered. Have we by the Spirit the unspeakable certainty that Jesus had about prayer, or do we think of the times when God does not seem to have answered prayer? “Every one that asketh receiveth.” We say — “But,…but…” God answers prayer in the best way, not sometimes, but every time, although the immediate manifestation of the answer in the domain in which we want it may not always follow. Do we expect God to answer prayer?
The danger with us is that we want to water down the things that Jesus says and make them mean something in accordance with common sense; if it were only common sense, it was not worth while for Him to say it. The things Jesus says about prayer are supernatural revelations.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Re-state to yourself what you believe, then do away with as much of it as possible, and get back to the bedrock of the Cross of Christ.
Good morning FC. Are we smiling this morning? Hope so. Wear it and share it throughout your day. God bless. Cheers!
Good Morning Levi!!!
Yes I’m smiling at least till I get my mower back. 😂 it’s hard to keep a stubborn woman down 😝
Boomeranging that smile, right back at cha!!!! 💋
Thanks FC. Wishing you a glad day!
I speak to my Lord all day, it’s the listening that has to be me, and what is prayer? Motivating God? Not even angels have bad words to say against satan.
God answers my prayers all day, some are so outstanding I cannot comprehend the meanings, he will give live examples at times, am I exceptional? No, but I believe and allow his voice in my prayers, it’s his word I must use in determining the voice. There are many voices who will infiltrate if you give them thought or place.
Word first, then leadings.
I have had miracles while praying, where God moves or uses the physical but I do not expect it. I’ve learned not to rely on such things as leadings.
It’s his voice I hear, it’s immediate, exact, on point, practical, it’s not of me but in me. I’ve had the spirit interrupt me many times, when ego takes the stage. I have a choice, always, what’s best or my way.
Many issues are so irrelevant to God, the answers are obvious and he expects you to follow and stop disobedience. Money is especially one of them. He knows your needs. Wants? ask he will explain, the answer is not exempt because you do not agree.
The more you approach our Lord in reverence the deeper he will take you. Keep in mind he longs for our relationship, he loves us more than you can imagine.
Prayers is conversation with the closest friend who already knows all your faults but chooses you and lift up all your progress as victories. He doesn’t want separation most of all. Guilt has no place.
i used to beg for Gods answers, plead, cry, “why what did I do so I can repent”. He would wipe away the tears and say “ask and you shall receive.” I just never was listening. He’s not like us, he doesn’t hold grudges, or have mood swings, it’s our reflection that we are seeing.
👏 👏
Excellent palerider!!! Love this!!! ❤️ thank you 💋
Mornin’ comrade infidels.
Mornin, WeeWeed❣️
Morning all,
Just got in from teaming. Go out solo for a run to Marshal, MI and Grand Rapids, MI and then back home.
Staying up because I leave for the Michigan run at 04:00 Friday and am going to need to hit the sack this afternoon to be rested for that run.
Yesterday I took over at the Indiana-Illionois state line on I-70. From there I drove to the first stop 25 miles south of KC. Then up to the second stop up at Saint Joeseph, MO about 60 miles north of the first stop. From the second stop I drove across US 36 to just short of Hannibal, MO at the Missouri-Illinois state line where Randy took over to take us to the Vandalia, OH terminal and then back to the Anderson, IN terminal.
I got about five hours sleep until we hit the rough road in Indiana on I-70 at about 22:00 last night. Too bumpy to sleep so I got up and stayed up.
On Tuesday early morning when we are at the Vandalia terminal where we drop the trailer loaded with parts we had picked up in Missouri and hook to a trailer going back to Missouri having dunnage in it we had a problem.
Vandalia terminal gave us the wrong trailer number to pick up. Randy caught it right away when he saw the trailer they had told us to take had a bolt seal on it. We only use bolt seals for trailers that are going to cross international borders!
The dispatchers first tried to argue with Randy and he told him they were wrong and needed to check it out. They did send one of the yard jockeys over and he cut the seal and looked inside and found that Randy was correct.
Not only was it the wrong trailer but also the license plate number on the trailer registration did not match the license plate number on the trailer. That trailer could not be sent across the border up into Canada like that! So we put that trailer that wasn’t ours in the door they told us too and then hooked to the correct trailer we needed.
On Wednesday Josh had a floater driver go to Vandalia and pickup the trailer we would need so we could drop and hook at the Anderson terminal. That should have put us back on schedule BUT the driver that brought that trailer to Anderson did not do an adequate inspection. That trailer had a tire leaking air and wheel seal leaking lube oil. So we had to take it into the express bay and get those issues fixed and thus lost 2 hours of the 3 we would have gained had we not had to have the trailer worked on. Still, I got us to the first stop only 1 hour late.
All of that cost us critical time on a run that is already too tight on times and drivers can only do so much. Forget about a sit down meal. We have subsisted on Subway subs all this week.
And now you may get an understanding of why we on-call salary drivers are the best paid company drivers where we work. This weeks paycheck will be $2,240.00 plus that tax break for 4 days per diem.
Good morning Rah. Stay safe out there. God bless!
Bless you, rah!
Morning folks.
I use two different banks and have two separate companies ( one local one National ) making direct deposits into them. I wake up Thursday morning and like clockwork the deposit’s have been made.
Neither one is in my account this morning.
Anyone else having this problem?
Could be a temporary glitch or maybe something else is happening.
That’s mini-stroke material right there, especially first thing in the morning. Hope it corrects itself.
May 26
MORNING
Our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep. Heb. 13:20
The chief Shepherd. I Pet. 5:4
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 10:14, 27, 28
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Psa. 23:1-3
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isa. 53:6
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. John 10:11
I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick. Ezek. 34:16
Ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. I Pet. 2:25
J. Bagster
Beautiful 😻 Thank you!!!
If I may, 🎶
Good Morning poyeema!!!
May your day be filled with blessings and good surprises ❤️
Just watched a discussion between Dr. Robert Malone (mRNA fame) and Dr. Mattias Desmet (mass transformation psychosis).
It centered around an argument I have with myself and others. Do most people even want to be free? I keep pounding my fist and declaring that they do. However, I am beginning to slide into the camp that feels people want authoritarian leaders. They do not want to take personal responsibility. It is as if they are asleep and want an authoritarian “parent” to take care of them — regardless of how harsh and dismal life will be. How do we fight that?
How do we awaken a large portion of the population who doesn’t want to think for themselves?
🤔 just a quick thought… perhaps we shouldn’t fight it. Maybe give/show them by embracing telling them all things they should think/do. Since they want to be led. Imo, people resist the wrongs things 🤷♀️
Put your troubles in the hand of the Lord. Trust completely. Stay focused on the Lord and his ways/words. It works people!! 🥰
Good Morning flyover 😘 ❤️
Good morning everyone. Happy for the blessings of yesterday and looking forward to the blessings of the new day. Hope you all are as well. Live your day in gratitude not fear or worry. God bless each of you and all of yours.
Appreciate your uplifting, positive posts more than you know, levi!
Beautiful, Cobra. That makes my heart happy. One thing I learned sitting in an Infusion Center day after day and looking at the carnage around me is: somebody always has it worse. I only had a 30-35% chance of being here now, according to the Doctors, but every time I sat in there, not knowing how long I’d be around, I realized there were others who had it worse than I.
And, while I don’t wish what I went through on anyone to have the same epiphany, I know that everyone bears their own cross in life. Some more so than others and all in different ways. Whether it be with illness to one self or a loved one, financially, squabbles with family, professional career, nobody goes through life unscathed.
May the good Lord keep you close. May you always remain grateful, never lose your smile and, as everyone who knows me knows is synonymous with how I end every encounter, Live, Love and Laugh. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you levi. You share profound sentiments.
It sounds like hopefully you are finished with your treatments (?). Either way, I wish you the best forward, and look forward to seeing you amongst the branches.
I appreciate your lovely thoughts, and thank you for the prayers!
Thank you Cobra. I’m fine. A miracle of sorts, I suppose. Over seven years removed from the blessing of cancer. Yes, blessing. Cancer was a journey in human compassion and I found myself at the the center of it all. So many stories within those barbaric months of treatment and fear that are cherished forever more. Quite the irony.
In the end, I really have no idea how or why the Lord decided to keep me here but he did. And so, because of the hundreds who prayed for me and my inability to know precisely how to repay them, to thanks them enough, nor having any understanding of why the good Lord spared me, I pray for others.
You are in my prayers. Delivered each morning. I do hope you find comfort. God bless and may you always find reason to smile.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
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.

Hello my American friends, Some of you know me as the israeli Trump supporter. I bring you some news that you won’t see in American media, some inspirational stories and some support in general.
This one is a technological news. Now, you may not know but Israel is at the front of technology and is involved or leading the development of some of the things you use daily like the first cellphone, the first anti virus software, the first flash drive,
the first car system that detect dangers and alert the driver (common now in new cars), the first texting applications, and the development of microprocessors of Intel and others that operates most computers.
So I am posting here two videos of what’s cooking. The first one is a flying car and the second one is laser combat technology that can be used first for defense and later offense. The laser system is going to be operational in a year or two and passed the on the ground tests which no other country have succeeded. This technology will be shared with the US and will change the balance of forces in the world to our advantage. In the second video you see the first time in history that a laser system intercepted a missile, a mortar and a large drone, all three in this video.
Flying car:
Laser system:
Hello, David. As for the laser technology, the way the US Pentagon and Department of Defense are trying deliberately to undermine our once great fighting forces with insidious political correctness and mental illness, sharing might not be the best idea.
Keep it for your own protection. Americans are your friends. I’m doubtful about the US government.
Fascinating videos. Thank you for posting them. Blessings to you, sir.
Thank you! Americans are friends. Most Governments of the West are in bad hands, it’s a long story.
Still if you ever run into a war with China or Russia or North Korea it’s better you have this defense, it’s what we cal a ״tie breaker.״ IE it gives you the victory.
Don’t forget to check our girl Emmy Eaton interview Ryan Stiles…from Who’s Line is It Anyway.
There is irony here. He’s obviously very tired and doing his best to be in the moment, but it’s Emmy who is absolutely hilarious.

The music on this thread today has been particularly marvelous. Thank you, Treepers.
I was born in 1950, so I know you get what I’m sayin’.

God bless each and every one of you wonderful people. It is a privilege and an honor to read your responses to Sundance’s remarkable work.
Completely agree, warrprin1. There are some days where every song or hymn just hits the right spot. This is one of them. Blessings to you…
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
And prayers up for all political prisoners.
Prayers up for Pastor Pawlowski, for Julian Assange, and for all the protesters of January 6 who were or are entrapped in DC.
