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 †

🇺🇲 I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands , One Nation under God , indivisible , with Liberty and Justice for All .🇺🇲
Good morning, Ryder, Children should have to say this every morning in school like I did when I was young. They should also have to sing the Star Spangled Banner. Would not hurt to teach them some respect for our country. We need to keep praying that God will show us the way to get rid of the EVIL in DC. God bless all of our Sundance and all the Treepers here on CTH.
Good Morning , Marti 🙋♀️ !
I Agree ,, All School Children should start their Day with the Pledge and a Patriotic Song !
Sometimes the Old Ways are Still Better 😊
Praying with You Marti , for Sundance and All of Us Here at the Tree !
Pledging allegiance to a flag is antithetical to pledging a divine prince of peace. It is serving two masters. The state is not even close to divine.
I can pledge allegiance to more than one set of principles. First and foremost, to my Savior. Second, to my wife and home. Third, to my children. Surely, pledging allegiance to our country and flag doesn’t surpass my pledge to Jesus.
You know what I like about the Treehouse (despite its reference to childhood)? People speak like grownups here. We disagree, but politely and thoughtfully.
Make America Adult Again.
Beautiful score. Well performed. Interesting video.
I didn’t realize it is a 360 degree panning video until I began playing with the white control circle in the upper left. Then realized I could simply pan the camera around the viewpoint to see all of the musicians.
Thank You , George 😊🇺🇲
Good Morning, Ryder, Thank you, we all need to be praying, that seems to be all we can do at the present time.
Did you see the post from Betsy yesterday? It was for an article on the LewRockwell.com website. It was by Bionic Mosquito – titled Prayer and Fasting. It is very good. Covers a lot of the Satanic EVEL we are seeing today.
Hearts and Prayers to you. (sorry, I can’t make my computer do emojis)
Good morning, Marti💖 I am so glad you read that article. I felt the author in a moment of clarity admitted he saw what we all know is walking this earth. He writes well, and in this case, with palpable feeling. Blessings to you🌹
Good afternoon, Betsy. The article was very good. I copied it and sent it to my email so that my husband could read it. He has shared it with others that he has contact with. Blessings to you too.
Excellent…the bush telegraph. I have a dear friend down under, whom I pray for, who would recognize that.
I wonder how he is doing? And Leenie, too.
I do, G… Prayers for all always. No Frank, so when you’re in contact with him, and S, please tell them both they are missed very much. And I do send my love. All are never far from thoughts…💖🙏
I will Bet, I hear from them just about every day. 😍
I share your prayers for our friend down under. I miss him very much. He has a very different outlook on life. He has been thru a lot of tribulation. God bless him. hugs and hearts to you and to him too!!
He’s led an extraordinary life. I’m sure God and his Guardian Angel watch over him🙏 I pray he reads still. Thanks, Marti🤗
Thank You , Marti !
I will check out the article posted by Betsy right now 😊
I appreciate You bringing it to my attention and Thanks to Betsy Also !
Marti💐
Betsy 💐
Afternoon, Ryder Lee💖 I think you will find it a very powerful article. He’s admitting that satan walks this earth.
Betsy, I think he is walking on this earth. My husband and I have thought this for a while. sad, sad face
Gathering souls for his army, in plain view. It’s amazing to me how many millions cannot see him.
And he is pissed because he knows that his time is short.
You are quite welcome, Ryder. Many thanks to Betsy for giving us what I think is a very important message. smiley face
Amen🇺🇸
Patience , 😊💐🙏
😇
Looks like my kitty when she was younger!
And Happy Birthday to PRESIDENT Donald John Trump!!! How appropriate our patriotic President should be born on Flag Day!!!
May God watch over him as his days increase🙏
Thanks for remembering Betsy!
Good Morning ❤️
Mornin’, Cat💖 The irony of his birth on the same day as Flag Day has always struck me as more than coincidence.😉
I forgot that today was President Trumps birthday. Pray he has a good day and yes it does seem more than coincidence his birthday is also Flag Day.
It was almost impossible to forget – This morning I had received at least three emails from social media apps and maybe 4 or 5 posts in Truth Social, GETTR and Telegram about PDJT’s birthday today.
Evening Cat! 💜
I found a way to make the emojis work again on my laptop. Just have been looking at the OT very sporadically. Seems like I get busier every day.
Excellent , Betsy 🥳🥇🙏
🤗!!
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) asserted that men freely expressing themselves in drag is “what America is all about,” making the remarks during an appearance on TVs Ru Paul’s Drag Race.
“My honor to be here, to say to all of you how we proud we are of you. Thank you for the joy and beauty you bring to the world,” she said. “Your freedom of expression of yourselves in drag is what America is all about.”
A nation has to have its priorities…….
Good morning Trump Won. There is nothing funny about any of their lies any longer.
She is a drag
Good morning, Trump Won. She and every one with her are so EVEL!!!!
No, parading around one’s mental illnesses and perverted fetishes is NOT “what America is all about.”
This is the satanically-inspired message from the deranged Left.
They desperately want to NORMALIZE perversion in society.
To some extent, they have already succeeded.
We have to draw the line and start to push back.
She said that about illegal aliens too. According to pelosi, the only thing this country isn’t about is Americans like us.
Howdy, Mims💖…I’m thinking about emailing my turncoat senator (small s) Cornyn, who is pushing red flag laws, and saying if he puts on a dress he’ll be Pelosi’s doppelganger.
He probably doesn’t know that word.
Gag.
Can infrared light help Parkinson’s and Alzheimers disease to regenerate the brain. Not sure Epoch Times will open but it is a good article.
Practical Application of Near Infrared Light TherapyThe key to mitigating the burden of chronic illness lies in physiological regeneration, which is emerging as a physiological inevitability, even in regions of the body where it was previously not thought possible. The ability to regenerate, secondary to normal biological processes of cellular erosion and decay, is programmed into our body in order for us to regain homeostasis.
So-called “photobiomodulation,” which includes near infrared light therapy, has limitless possible applications, and has even been shown to improve animal models of wound healing, heart attack, spinal cord injury, stroke, arthritis, familial amylotropic lateral sclerosis (FALS), diabetic ulcers, carpal tunnel syndrome, major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, frontotemporal dementia (29) and traumatic brain injury (27).
The biggest obstacle with infrared light therapy in neurodegenerative disease is targeting the zone of pathology, “when there are many intervening body tissues, namely skin, thick cranium, and meninges, and brain parenchyma,” since there is considerable dissipation of the signal across each millimeter of brain tissue (10). This is less problematic in Alzheimer’s, where the target regions are more superficial structures, but less easily rectified in the case of Parkinson’s, where there is significant distance from cranium to the brainstem where neurodegeneration takes place (10).
With Alzheimer’s, optimal delivery would be a near infrared light-emitting helmet worn over the entire cranium (10). Parkinson’s patients can achieve symptomatic relief when near infrared is applied in this fashion, as this would influence the abnormal neural circuitry in the cortex. However, to circumvent the problem of the sheer distance to the region of pathology in the brainstem, researchers propose that the minimally invasive surgical implantation of an optical fiber device near the brain parenchyma would be ideal, which would deliver therapeutic levels of near infrared (10). Until these options are commercially available, photobiomodulation devices or near infrared saunas may be a viable option, although human studies have not proved their efficacy.
Given its large margin of safety and lack of adverse effects, near infrared light therapy should be offered as an option for patients suffering from a myriad of chronic conditions, but is especially promising for neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and may even have future use in multiple sclerosis. Near infrared therapy is superior to the mainstay drug treatments for these diseases since pre-clinical studies have demonstrated proof-of-concept that near infrared either arrests or slows the underlying pathology of these disease processes, and leads to the birth of new neurons, rather than merely mitigating symptoms (10).

Good morning lindak, Two diseases where medical science should have made far more progress on were they not so focused on turning body mutilation of men, women and children into big profit centers.
Shut down the $pentagon, defend the border, and redeploy all those dollars, brains, and societal will toward research and development that actually benefits humanity, instead of its destroyers (whom the masses enable by perennial compliance).
BTW, look up the search terms, ” parkinson’s alzheimer’s myelin sheath b vitamins ” and read up on telomeres and nutrition. Most pHARMa research benefits them, not us.
Oh, and Google censors a lot of searches that do not support the ruling narratives, so try looking on an old Russian search engine, Yandex. Swisscows is good, too, and Brave, and Qwant and Quant Lite. We can beat them if we refuse to join them.
“It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines,” stated Dr. Marcia Angell, the former editor of The New England Journal of Medicine. “I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor,” she wrote in a 2009 piece titled “Drug Companies & Doctors: A Story of Corruption.”
Years later, Richard Horton, editor of The Lancet echoed this sentiment: “… Something has gone fundamentally wrong with one of our greatest human creations … The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness.”

Pretty damning statements by those two. I think we all agree and have opened our eyes to the near total loss of credibility of the medical community. I winder if they know how we feel about them now vs pre-WuFlu.
My father and grandfather both died with Parkinson’s. It is a terrible, insidious, cruel disease, as are all neurological afflictions.
Science for me in both word and practice has been coloured by greedy, uncaring, soulless creatures often with sinister and ungodly motives. There are honourable people in scientific fields, working for the betterment of humanity, but they and their works have been marginalized or ignored or buried by those for whom the title “Evil Scientist”, long ago coined in jest, now exists in terrifying reality.
Well, Ivermectin has cured river blindness in humans, elephantitus, and is being studied for some cancers, not too mention its effectiveness against Covid. Yet it is being reported as only for horses. Such a shame that a possibly simple and harmless treatment for the pandemic is vilified by those who want to vaccinate us all for profit.
Shame, lindak?
My view is that it was grotesquely criminal. No EUA for new meds IF there is anything out there which will work. Evil Pharma knew. The Evil FDA knew. They both knew it would work and therefore had to bury and deny its efficacy. On purpose! For their profits and for their drug’s intended purpose.
How many millions now dead or forever disabled would be alive or cured because of their machinations?
Shame doesn’t come into it, because they are incapable of it. Willful murder is what I call it. A terrible terrible crime against humanity.
Blessings to you, sir.
Willful, cold-blooded mass murder.
Good morning, Levi💖
Just saw this linked on Liberty Daily this morning right after I posted the above…
On BECKER NEWS
“RETIRED NEUROSURGEON WRITES THE MOTHER OF ‘I TOLD YOU SO’ LETTERS ABOUT COVID-19 RESPONSE”
He spells it out word, chapter, and verse.
Looking for it now.
Yes, evil. Shame is a real thing in my book. Never to be forgotten by anyone and never lived down by those who have put profit ahead of humanity. Perhaps it is an understatement of their guilt.
Shame has been abolished as an evil in itself by evil amoral people. In its place is a green light for anything and everything, no judgement passed….on earth at least.
lindak, and for cows, pigs, dog, cats, take your pick, But to give it to people to fight covid, oh no…
As Bet says it is criminal.
👍!!!
My mother gets infra red laser treatment on her back from a chiropractor. Sounded wacky to me at first, but it helps her pain and stiffness quite a bit. A very simple, painless procedure.
Great to hear. If it works for the patient it is worth pursuing.
Good afternoon Lvi. Infrared laser has been used for years now for back pain, arthritis, fracture and wound feeling, inflammation and swelling, etc., etc. Of course, the individual results are different, but generally in most cases works really well.
Cheers mate.
I’ve just texted my son with the back problem that info.
Oh yes, aka cold laser. When it first came out I had my doubts but the science behind it is very solid and it really works.
I just saw “carpal tunnel” in your post. Last year, I cured a young woman of it in two weeks, for $8/month of coenzyme B6. Add liposomal D3, coupled with magnesium L-threonate, and you’re good. D3 needs magnesium for meaningful absorption and utilization.
Always search terms consisting of a particular condition and nutrition, foods, supplements, and bioavailability and/or absorption. Also, always look up contraindications if you’re on pHARMaceuticals.
At LewRockwell.com, look up the archives of the late Bill Sardi and the very much alive Dr. Joseph Mercola. Make yourself well.
This is from (I think) Emmylou’s first LP. It was recorded in Brian Ahern’s famous “Enactron Truck” 18 wheeler equipped with state-of-the-art recording equipment. The trailer was parked at his Topanga Canyon house which was also used as his recording studio. Listening to this recording the audo quality of his analog recording is absolutely perfect—you just can’t get any better than what we’re hearing here. Similarly Emmylou’s and Brian’s choice of backup musician is similarly first-class. And, of course, the including of Don Everly simply make the cake . . . It’s hard to believe that Emmylou, this young, was also this in command of her talent and this good. The first time I heard this, I was just blown away.
Here’s the iconic Emmylou touring band lineup. I was lucky enough to hear them in an outdoor setting on a hot summer night. Man were they good!
The Hot Band: Albert Lee, Emory Gordy, John Ware, Glen D Hardin, Rodney Crowell, Hank Devito.
Tulsa Queen is one of my favorites.
🙂
Boy, Garrison, what a thrill to hear her in person. Her voice was made for her genre. She just keeps going and going and…
Blessings to you, my friend. And thank you for these.😊
Hi, Bet! 🙂
Now I’ve got coffee in hand, gonna listen and enjoy me some Emmy Lou! 😘
A beautiful, relaxing way to start the day. A cup of tea and relaxing music. Thank you Garrison. You are such a blessing to me with your music.
Hi, Marti! 🙂
Ok I’ll admit I had a poster of Emmy Lou on the wall
Beautiful triad of tunes by a beautiful performer, just right to end my day,, as I am often a late visitor to the Open Thread.
Thanks Garrison.
And a peaceful evening to you, your loved one, and the rest of the Treehouse.

If I don’t start my day with that prayer, I soon find myself getting in my own way. When I acknowledge Him and His provindence my day goes good most days.
Dateline Washington (DC Devil’s City) 06/13/22 – Socialist Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday ordered special 51-star American flags to be displayed along Pennsylvania Avenue ahead of Flag Day tomorrow, June 14th. In some states altering Old Glory like that would be considered a crime.
They (those people) hate everything about this country. Every single last detail.
How ungrateful…; ingrates!
– fund a mental trans for …
Yes, DC is surely the Devil’s Evil city. that mayor can say what he wants, DC is NOT a state!!! Just an evil state of their minds.
If the people want to live in a state, give back the land to the states DC came from.
Only 2 states … Virginia and Maryland.
Yes, and didn’t Virginia take back their land?
The whole point in the first place was to have the capital of the US on land that was not a state. So, do the people of Maryland take back their land, since the people of DC don’t want the land to be neutral?
A Salt Lake City police chief is happy to say 103 guns have been bought back from the citizens. Brain dead citizen Brannon Richardson says,
“I honestly think guns are for cowards.”
https://www.ksl.com/article/50422349/salt-lakes-first-gun-buyback-event-in-decades-results-in-103-firearm-returns
So he has a police force of brain dead cowards? What a queer thing for a Police Chief to say.

(LINK) Availability cascade – Wikipedia
An availability cascade is a self-reinforcing cycle that explains the development of certain kinds of collective beliefs. A novel idea or insight, usually one that seems to explain a complex process in a simple or straightforward manner, gains rapid currency in the popular discourse by its very simplicity and by its apparent insightfulness. Its rising popularity triggers a chain reaction within the social network: individuals adopt the new insight because other people within the network have adopted it, and on its face it seems plausible. The reason for this increased use and popularity of the new idea involves both the availability of the previously obscure term or idea, and the need of individuals using the term or idea to appear to be current with the stated beliefs and ideas of others, regardless of whether they in fact fully believe in the idea that they are expressing. Their need for social acceptance, and the apparent sophistication of the new insight, overwhelm their critical thinking.
All true or damn close.
Actually the person who is quoted making that ignorant statement is not the police chief or even a policeman. Brannon Richardson was just an attendee who sold a rifle he had received from his father.
The SLC Police Chief is Mike Brown.

Abide in Me… —John 15:4
In the matter of determination. The Spirit of Jesus is put into me by way of the atonement by the Cross of Christ. I then have to build my thinking patiently to bring it into perfect harmony with my Lord. God will not make me think like Jesus— I have to do it myself. I have to bring “every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5). “Abide in Me”— in intellectual matters, in money matters, in every one of the matters that make human life what it is. Our lives are not made up of only one neatly confined area.
Am I preventing God from doing things in my circumstances by saying that it will only serve to hinder my fellowship with Him? How irrelevant and disrespectful that is! It does not matter what my circumstances are. I can be as much assured of abiding in Jesus in any one of them as I am in any prayer meeting. It is unnecessary to change and arrange my circumstances myself. Our Lord’s inner abiding was pure and unblemished. He was at home with God wherever His body was. He never chose His own circumstances, but was meek, submitting to His Father’s plans and directions for Him. Just think of how amazingly relaxed our Lord’s life was! But we tend to keep God at a fever pitch in our lives. We have none of the serenity of the life which is “hidden with Christ in God” (Colossians 3:3).
Think of the things that take you out of the position of abiding in Christ. You say, “Yes, Lord, just a minute— I still have this to do. Yes, I will abide as soon as this is finished, or as soon as this week is over. It will be all right, Lord. I will abide then.” Get moving— begin to abide now. In the initial stages it will be a continual effort to abide, but as you continue, it will become so much a part of your life that you will abide in Him without any conscious effort. Make the determination to abide in Jesus wherever you are now or wherever you may be placed in the future.
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. Have a simply marvelous day with all the trimmings. Cheers!
Good morning, Cat💖 May I leave this here?
For Our Country
Almighty God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favour and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honourable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way.
Defend our liberties and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to the law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
As we are supposed to pray for our enemies…in this case the “those we entrust with authority”… I put this prayer here today in hopes that Almighty God will in His infinite mercy turn the hearts and faces of men and women who have abandoned Him and followed a new master, away from the foul, unholy ways in which they walk…for all our sakes, thereby returning our country to a straight path, all for the Glory of His Holy Name.🙏
May His rich blessings and grace be with with each one of us this day🌹
Fits like a hand in glove, my dear Betsy!!!! ❤️ ❤️
Good Morning Betsy!!!! 😘

As the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. II Cor. 1:5
The fellowship of his sufferings. Phil. 3:10
Rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. I Pet. 4:13
For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him. II Tim. 2:11
If children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Rom. 8:17
God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us. Heb. 6:17, 18
Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. II Thess. 2:16, 17
Evening
Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things. Luke 10:41
Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap. Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not. Seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. Your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. Luke 12:24, 27, 29, 30
Having food and raiment let us be therewith content. . . . They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. I Tim. 6:8-10
The cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. Mark 4:19
Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Heb. 12:1
J. Bagster
Someone gave me a plaque saying:
Most of the things you worry about NEVER happen.
It reminds me to stay focused on our Lord ❤️
Thank you and good morning poyeema 🙋♀️
I have that worthy axiom on my phone. And as a first class worrier (although I’m working on it with a modicum of success), I keep it at the forefront of my mind.
today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday
enjoy the day
light a candle ? to celebrate our President’s birthday ??
Good morning to you, ms Idaho🌷
One of the best bits of advice that I have tried to live by. . .
90% of the things I worry about will never happen.
Of the 10% left over, I would do the wrong thing at least 50% of the time.
Since I can never know which of the things I worry about are in the 95% or the 5%, it is a waste of time to worry about any of them as God can handle it and do a much better job.
Exactly!!!!! 💋
Great vibes, as true as your name!! 💋 💋
I know and understand all of that. Worry only gets you older faster.
But
I also believe God gives us brains when he gives us problems to solve.
When we find potential answers we must apply them.
No fair sitting on our butts waiting for God or someone, anyone, to bail us out of the problems we are given to solve.
That’s the real underlying mis understanding about ‘trusting gummit’ to take care of us – don’t ‘cha think?
Happy birthday President Trump!!!
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Such meaningful and wondrous words.
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.

Where in the Middle East … the Holy Land … were there so many blonde haired people?
Is there any irrefutable proof that there weren’t any blond haired peoples in the ME back then?
Of course not, mainly because there were and are naturally occurring blondes of Arab and Jewish descent. There were probably people of Polynesian and Chinese extraction who visited the Middle East from time to time.
There has been a “habit” or “custom” among European artists over the centuries to paint Our Lord and His Disciples as being overtly Caucasian. I’m sure most of these artists hadn’t traveled outside Europe and probably had no idea of what Middle Eastern folks looked like.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and many people are more comfortable with an Anglo Jesus.
Interestingly, King Solomon went out of his way to describe Shulamite (ref. Song of Solomon 1:5), the object of his desire at the time, as being black. If all inhabitants of the middle east at that time were dark skinned with black hair, why would he have mentioned her color in particular? We can only speculate. But when the Lord created multiple tongues (the Tower of Babel) in the ME, can we assume he kept them all dark skinned with black hair? Surely not. Again, we can only speculate.
Their European paradigm notwithstanding, we allow the artists the license to paint the images as they imagine them. And we understand that “artist’s license” while also being cognizant of historical records – or lack thereof.
Peace!

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,”
2 Peter 1:2 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
Good morning everyone. Summer is here to stay for awhile. That’s fine by me. Although, I’ll be taking it easy for a few days because I FINALLY got the bug. Tested positive for WuFlu this morning. Kind of figured that was what hit me Sunday when the fever started. All I can say is, it’s about time. I’ve wanted to get it and get it over with for a loooooooooog time. Very mild cold-like symptoms only.
That said, I wish you all a day filled with blessings. Notice them. They occur around us and to us throughout each day. Or, in more blunt terms “someone always has it worse” and they still manage to smile.
“Sometimes we must look outside our own backyards to realize how big the world is and how blessed we are.”

God bless all. Prayer, love and hugs to those in need. Cheers!
Get well soon my friend! Prayers up for you,Sundance and everyone in need… 🙂
Thank you, sir, and Amen for all in need! Have a wonderful day Casco. Cheers to you and yours!
🙂
Good morning, Levi. Prayers for you to get better without any serious complications. I enjoy your post, you are a positive influence on our day. Thank you. God bless you. hugs and praying hands and a big heart.
Thank you, Marti. I REALLY enjoy being here. Your words mean a lot. God bless you and yours. Cheers!
I may have had it, but I have not ever been tested, so, who knows? I do know that I was stuck on a job last week in which masks were required at all times. I was working 12-14 hours a day. This week I am fighting what appears to be a recurrence of thrush. It is an uncomfortable and generally easily treated fungal infection in my mouth, but I am ticked off that it came back. The last time I had it? At the beginning of all of the mask hysteria. I am a self-employed contractor, so I pretty much am required to follow the rules where I work.
Sorry Vibe, I know thrush all too well from my cancer treatment and post treatment days. Experienced it twice. God awful stuff, especially what it did to taste. I can see how a mask would/could trigger it.
Praying for you Levi!
Thanks Gramps. With the strains being mild now and I started my Ivermectin plus protocol immediately, I’mmnot real worried but appreciate the words nonetheless.
They say days 6-10 are all telling, since I’m only on day three we’ll see how it goes. The one thing I have noticed is this. I have a number of neurological issues doe to the mega-doses of radiation to my neck, which wreaked havoc in the cervical are.
Most of those have diminished over the past few year. However, since Sunday I have experienced their painful fury again. It crossed my mind that this bug seeks the weak link once it invades.
But honestly, symptoms are mild. I took a short walk today, more of a saunter along the beach today. No problem there so don’t cry for me Argentina.
Cheers, Gramps. You’re a gem.
Get a pulse oxymeter and check your O2 levels regularly. Normal should be 95-96 and up. If it starts getting to 90-91 I’d find someone to prescribe nasal oxygen. Most people with mild symptoms never get there but it’s good to keep an eye on it. People get in trouble when it drops in the 80ies or even lower and they don’t do anything about it.
Glad it’s a mild case for you.
Thanks Gramps. We have one although I haven’t yet clamped it on. Aside from tired this morning I feel somewhat better. Sinuses are clear, cough subsided, fever absent, sore throat too seems to have vanished. It’s only day four so subject to change but I’m hoping the protocol is working
Thank you, again, sir!
FLAG DAY
The first celebration of Flag Day was on June 14th in 1885 in a one-room schoolhouse in Waubeka, Wisconsin.
The school teacher was a 15 year old man who later became a very successful dentist.
His name was Bernard John Cigrand and his parents were natives of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg who settled in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin and were married there in 1856.
Bernard John Cigrand died in 1932.
The school teacher, Bernard John Cigrand, was 18 at the time of the first celebration rather than 15.

Pride Month – Idiocracy 2022.
The standards of national leadership in this country reach new record depths each and every day. In other words, the new standards reflect anything but leadership only debauchery and decline. And we should all be able to admit, given those values we can agree she is apt for the position.
Anyone have any thoughts on most conservative/anti-authoritarian candidates to vote for in the SC primary today specifically for the state AG , SoS and Agriculture?
I’m very informed on my local candidates but don’t know much about the candidates for these three state offices.
Thanks!
Do the deepest dive you can, especially if they are incumbents. Look how they voted & who they associated with prior to running for office.
Did one on Dusty Johnson of SD just before he voted for Ukraine. That was when I realize all SD’s people in DC are RINOs.
Interesting part of Dusty Johnson was there is nothing to really find prior to his HS graduation, no parents name or number of siblings. Dusty did start working for another SD RINO, Senator Rounds in 2002 while still in college or just out of college. Kind of seems like Dusty was being groomed for politics.
Yes I do have a habit of researching too much.

Morning Lonestar. Amen and always. Have a wonderful day. Cheers!
Evening Lonestar!
Dear Levi,
St. Augustine is a very historical city. I believe it is the oldest in America?? Jon Townsend visited there last year and did an episode or two on it.
I live in North Texas, NOT near the Gulf and we are have heat indexes of 110 on some days. May God grant you a speedy recovery and cooler days!
Blessings
Thank you Lonestar. I am feeling fine. Mild symptoms only.
I spent a good amount of time in Little Rock and remember the summer days where the gulf air stalled, stood on top of us, still and suffocating All clothing wore like cling wrap. And I recall working in Houston, got trapped there for hurricane Alicia in 83, where the location was simply too hot during the day so we changed our hours to midnights for a little reprieve. Wicked stuff. Same was true of my El Paso experience/visit circa 77. And, of course, visited Dallas a number of times but that rounds out my Texas experience.
Yes, we are America’s oldest city, one of only three originally walled cities in all of North America, the others being Quebec and Charleston just up the coast. By the way, one of our favorite restaurants in town, O.C. Whites was once the home to General Worth of Dallas/Ft Worth fame. He had been brought to Florida to command operations against the Seminoles. That was before he ventured west.
The city is small but very charming and the beaches quieter than the big cities. For us and our life style it’s the right fit. And, given our ages, it’s also good to know Mayo Clinic is only an hour up the road. We’re fortunate to enjoy the ocean breezes that help offset some of the sticky summer weather here.
Blessings to you and yours!

Just read this article on railcar costs. Fascinating to learn how/why we see changes, be it on the roads (more trucks so businesses can pass costs on more easily than with rail…huh, who knew?) or pricing on shelves.

a note re: Eastern Idaho wx
local – 59 high today 93 on Friday – before drifting back down. That has been the temp pattern for several weeks.
flood warnings – Yellowstone road closed – an access road due to the river eroding the banks and road. (imagine that?) Rain, yes, but snow melt too.
Reminds me of a trip Doc and I took to the area (can’t even remember how many years ago). He wanted to fish one of the famous rivers. We arrived, set up camp, and planned tomorrow’s adventure. We awoke to find the river out of its banks. No fishing…
Waiting for a report that the ‘flooding’ is adding to the aquifer ground water- nah, why would they report that?
Each of my years in the west have featured a river somewhere overflowing its banks, washing away roads and houses. Each one is a ‘surprise’. Why people build a house at river’s edge then cry when the river does what rivers do when rain falls up river – always ‘amazes’ me.
just watched short video todays yellowstone flood on WSJ. building gone, bridge gone, road washed out multiple places.
We wintered one year in Hurricane UT. Lots of rain filled up a reservoir up high. Dam overflowed – river did what rivers do.
But in St George UT, along the Virgin River, people built ‘expensive’ retirement homes. Multiply that bldg you saw by at least 100. There was video during the flood – they were placing highway concrete barriers around the I25 bridge to keep it from being washed away. Needless to say it was a nightmare night.
Next day dawned sunny and bright (southern UT) Video of a reporter in a park. Reported that a foot or so beneath her feet was a picnic table. The vista was flat with silt.
A few years ago another river south of Kanab flooded – but there was no live coverage so probably if you were not nearby you wouldn’t even notice.
Many years ago the Thompson Canon river in Colorado washed away retirement homes and summer cottages.
Closing Yellowstone is a nothing burger – except for folks who want to view the geysers

IDK if this is the right forum, but could we please get an update on SD? TIA
Amen
Amen 🙏
