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 Dan ❤️
Fabulous spurgeon message 🤩
Thank you 😊
Blessings to you and yours ❤️

How about a nice Tuna Melt pizza instead, I keep that in stock and had one myself last week.
Caviar might be a little too expensive to keep in stock, but you can bring your own.
The world obviously is not flat
If it were, cats would have pushed everything off the edge by now
The Flat Earth Society would disagree. They say they have branches all around the globe.
Kinda like our tree?
Good Morning Betsy 🙋♀️ ❤️
Good morning, Cat💖 Oh yes…”some” of us do that all right😉
Good morning Bet and Cat. I’m done with my morning chores at home. Maybe I’ll be able to get my hair and beard trimmed today. I have a very busy non-working week. Tomorrow morning still clearing branches and brush, then meeting the other generator people for a second bid. In the afternoon taking mom to the ortho doctor. Wednesday is Sea World day with Nipper, Thursday babysitting him, Friday driving my sister in law and my bride to the doctor…
Be blessed today ❤️😍.
Good Morning grandpa 💜
A non busy week huh? You can use my chipper if you need to 😉 keep me in your good thoughts, will you?
Today is my horrible Monday again. I try to keep upbeat, and yet….on the MP I thought to post the latest Aussie, in general, news and ????
It was enough for me to think about slinking back to my forest
I’ll say a prayer for you, Cat! Chipper would be nice. For several giant bonfire piles. Now I need consistent lots of rain. Maybe when the rains come we can have a bonfire party at my place. We have plenty of trees for feral cats. 😍
Morning, G!! Finally! My goodness you are much in demand 😉💖…worry about your being outside for an extended length of time. Wear a hat, keep your fluids up, don’t over extend, etc etc, said Bossy Bet.
Blessings for your mom. Hoping her knee issue is easily resolved. She got in to the orthopaedist pretty quickly, no? Hoping also your SIL will get some good news. I know how she is struggling and has been for a long time. God bless Mrs G for her loving care.
Nipper will absolutely enjoy Seaworld. If you both are lucky, the dolphins and the whales will splash buckets of water all over the pair of you! Have a WHALE of a time!!! (I’ll see myself out…)
Blessings to each one of you🤗😘🙏
Oh, I work outside only in the mornings. The exception was the move on Saturday. 4 grownups like me, the associate pastor who is around 50, and a lad at 16-17. And 2 ladies. Loaded the whole 10×30 storage. In the 102 degrees.
TBTG more people showed up to unload. 🥵😂
Your church there is made of good people💖…just as is ours here. I bet he was so thankful.
Shouldn’t that be branches all over our disk?
I will say this about them. They sure are edgy.
It should be, Jim. They have no sense of irony.
And they’re
– root bound.
Good morning ya’ll.
Good Morning patience!!! 🙋♀️ ❤️
Hello there, my kindred feral spirit❤️❣️
Morning Patience! Have a blessed day.
Goooood morning, ❣️
Phew… your non-work week is no lazy man’s.
God’s blessings keep you.
Good morning, Patience to you and Ma💖. I don’t know how I missed you first time ’round. All His blessings I ask for you both this week.
Ohh, Thank you very much, Ms Betsy 💞
😘
Had a blonde moment for a sec, but finally got it lol! Needed a good laugh this morning!
Hahaha!!! I did wonder if anyone would get it…but thought it was worth a shot🤗
Got it Bet, just now found the time to laugh. 😂
Figured you would😁

Hi, Cat! 🙂
Personally, I believe that the song La Grange has been responsible for more speeding tickets than any other song in recorded history
😂 i vote true! Have mine framed 😂
Good Morning benzy! 😘
My mother got a speeding ticket once while listening to Rossini’s William Tell Overture (Lone Ranger otherwise known as). She had a hard time explaining into the traffic cop who stopped her.

In other news, my brother sent me this bit about and hour and a half ago.
Greenwood Indiana, Greenwood Park Mall, which was a place very frequented by me for the arcades there when I was a drivers licensed teen.
Shooter opened fire in the food court and was stopped almost immediately by a 22 year old legally armed citizen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_uomf2t7BQ
I am surprised he was only shot by 1 armed citizen, lots of licensed carriers everywhere in the Indianapolis area.
Overheard at Indy car show @ Hoosierdome once, rent a cop to state police man… that guy over there has a gun.
State policeman, really… you could pick this place up with (F)ing magnet there are so many guns here.
4 dead 2 more wounded, shooter dead, more at indystar.com, would link but they will not accept my VPN IP, screw Gannett publishing AKA USA Today.
July 1 Indiana went constitutional carry, rather poor timing for this Ahole.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/07/17/report-armed-citizen-foils-mass-shooting-kills-indiana-mall-attacker/
The left are saying that it’s BS that a good guy with a gun works because so many got shot and killed, before the attacker got taken out.
What they don’t understand is that until he actually shot an uninvolved bystander would be the aggressor if he shot before knowing with 100% certainty what was going on.
There will be video of this. It will be interesting to see to understand what happened.
Yea, I cannot imagine the mall does not have security cameras everywhere. It has been at least 20 years since I set foot in there.
Not to mention people that pull out their phone to record.
This food court used to have a theater entry / exit, very dense population when a movie lets out.
Theater is now Old Navy store, nice map @ simon.
https://www.simon.com/mall/greenwood-park-mall/map/#/
I think this WFBQ Indianapolis regular on the radio song applies here & for every state that is constitutional carry.

Good morning, Magic. I say enough of this. Enough.
I believe they call that “trigger control”, to avoid innocent bystanders. Am wondering if they, the perps, were ‘migrants from Indiana’s western border?
Plenty of us Hoosiers had concealed carry permits before that.
and for you tonight, boogy…
😎😎😎🇺🇸
Thank You!

Morning, Betsy!!! Have a Blessed Day!!! 🧚🧚🧚
Thank you, ma’am🤗
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.
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.
Amen !!

July 18 Oswald Chambers
The Mystery of Believing
He said, “Who are You, Lord?” —Acts 9:5
Through the miracle of redemption, Saul of Tarsus was instantly changed from a strong-willed and forceful Pharisee into a humble and devoted bondservant of the Lord Jesus.
There is nothing miraculous or mysterious about the things we can explain. We control what we are able to explain, consequently it is only natural to seek an explanation for everything. It is not natural to obey, yet it is not necessarily sinful to disobey. There can be no real disobedience, nor any moral virtue in obedience, unless a person recognizes the higher authority of the one giving the orders. If this recognition does not exist, even the one giving the orders may view the other person’s disobedience as freedom. If one rules another by saying, “You must do this,” and, “You will do that,” he breaks the human spirit, making it unfit for God. A person is simply a slave for obeying, unless behind his obedience is the recognition of a holy God.
Many people begin coming to God once they stop being religious, because there is only one master of the human heart— Jesus Christ, not religion. But “Woe is me” if after seeing Him I still will not obey (Isaiah 6:5 , also see Isaiah 6:1). Jesus will never insist that I obey, but if I don’t,I have already begun to sign the death certificate of the Son of God in my soul. When I stand face to face with Jesus Christ and say, “I will not obey,” He will never insist. But when I do this, I am backing away from the recreating power of His redemption. It makes no difference to God’s grace what an abomination I am, if I will only come to the light. But “Woe is me” if I refuse the light (see John 3:19-21).
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The place for the comforter is not that of one who preaches, but of the comrade who says nothing, but prays to God about the matter. The biggest thing you can do for those who are suffering is not to talk platitudes, not to ask questions, but to get into contact with God, and the “greater works” will be done by prayer (see John 14:12–13).
🎶
Redemption
-awakening
– in the silence
hear
-Praise God;
have gratitude
…. Freedom ❣️
I wasn’t at the event but I reckon that looks like a golf clap from Miss Runner-Up there

geez Louise, this situation is an absolute scandal, I can’t believe it’s allowed to go on

Morning again Betsy.
Thank you for this post. Needed it today, since I rarely post on mp and my news report??? Today?????
It’s sad when someone tries to hijack the news 😢 shrug
I have just returned from Gerard Vanderleun’s American Digest site, Cat.
On it is a post with video so wonderful!! It was entitled
SUNDAY RECESSIONAL: IN CHRIST ALONE (TRADITIONAL WITH BAGPIPES)
Here is the first stanza…
“In Christ alone my hope is found.
He is my light, my strength, my song.
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace.
When fears are stilled, when striving cease.
My Comforter, my All in All.
Here in the love of Christ I stand.”
How odd, I thought…but not really… that given what I posted, I should be drawn to his site this morning and find this uplifting Celtic hymn of praise.
https://americandigest.org/
This video is done by Steph Macleod on the Celtic Worship channel on YouTube.
(Unfortunately there is a piece about Gwyneth Paltrow when you open the link…ugh…but just scroll down a bit and be uplifted🙏)
Awwww…thanks Betsy ❤️
You caught me with the bag pipes and the message 🤩
😘
I am partial to the bagpipes…and Celtic music interpretation. But I would be wouldn’t I? I’m so glad you liked it🤗
PS…No Levi? Or GrandpaM? And one I’ve missed for longer than seems right, parichute….🙏🙏🙏
Saw grandpa upthread. The others? Let’s make up a story…..they’re on a picnic? I refuse any negative vibes. 😎
No…must not…probably having a lie in after a busy week last week. Saw Grandpa…
Thanks Bet, now you’ve got me singing on the inside on the reclining bike. ❤️
Wonderful!! I’d hoped for that effect. Wasn’t it just marvelous? And a whole channel somewhere on YouTube for Celtic worship music… be still my heart!
Another all time favorite is Be Thou My Vision.
Oh I LOVE that one!😍
That is THE ONE of all times for me. Many a night I listen to that hymn as my end of the day close out.
I watch/listen to Steph Macleod sometimes. Quite the story for that young man.

Good morning, ms Idaho💖 to you and Doc and brother.
back at’cha Betsy – hugs to all treehouse branches
we’re all still here and doing the best we can
Happy Monday – good week ahead
Thank you…I think we are all there doing that on this (to me) odd Monday…hoping all are well🙏🤗
Hi ms Idaho! hope your and doc’s day is filled with happiness, laughter and the most romantics you two can think of 💕
got my laundry done – does that count?
in theory there is rain around – but not here.
A joke that grows with each passing year we spend in the west
30% chance of rain means it will probably rain in 30% of the places
LOUD WHISTLE – over here – rain over here
🙂
Laundry done counts BIG TIME!!!
Funny stories (depends on your sense of humor)
We have done without our own washer / dryer for about 3 years. we used the local coin-op until we moved into our current ‘extended stay’ digs. Here, about 20 steps from our door we have 2 washers and 2 dryers. Costs 1$ for each.
I aim for Monday mornings. Let me say this – the laundry is VERY popular and in use sometimes 24/7. Units are old. Just about every time I go there either a dryer or a washer is in trouble – the others are ‘in use’.
So this morning I loaded my ‘stuff’ in the washer, waited about half an hour and went to transfer to dryer. My estimate of the problem (this time) is that the washer filled with water, sat (no agitation) and emptied (no spin).
How did I come to that conclusion? Clothes near the top were ‘spotted’ wet. Clothes near the bottom were dripping wet. Well, at least the dryer did a good job of getting everything dry. It’s not that our clothes get ‘dirty’, but it is nice to freshen them weekly – ha ha
So I reported the problem to our wonderful manager. She sure puts up with a lot.
Did I ever tell you about this place?
When we moved to town in the late 1990s, this was a Holiday Inn. Our house wasn’t ready for us, so we stayed her for several weeks. During the intervening years it became a Clarion Inn. There are a number of other motels close by (we are near a highway interchange). Clarion wanted out – badly.
Last year we heard rumors of a deal to make this into a facility for Veterans – rehab with rooms. Too good to be true, the deal fell thru.
The present owners concluded a deal last fall – and took over management in December. Well, they have their hands full with work that wasn’t done by Clarion – use your imagination.
Our room is freshly updated, clean and minimal. Just right for us. I give these folks lots of praise for the effort they are making. Some of the units are regular motel rooms – then we have the part called ‘extended stay’. Perfect when there are no houses for sale and no units for rent. You can stay weeks or months – as long as you want to … And we want to
🙂
Oh my! No you didn’t. I knew you were living in less space. But this sounds great for what you need. And I’m so glad you have a manager that looks after everything. Bless her heart (said not in the Southern way but in a heartfelt way).
Phooey on the washing machine. I am sorry it wasn’t behaving for you. That is an annoyance. There are just the two of us, and we don’t generate a lot. So Tuesday and Friday I do mine. I change the sheets every week so they go in on Friday. It’s not a lot. And I take my iron shoes out of the dryer after 10 minutes (with a fabric softener sheet) and hang them to dry au naturel, so that when they are dry they look as if I’d ironed them.
As we keep the temp in the house quite high (84/85 with ceiling fans going and a small floor fan which keeps the air circulating) by the end of the day, everything is dry.
I am glad you and Doc are settled in a place you are comfortable in and with. I am certain, when most people seem to not express their genuine appreciation to others, those you offer it to are really grateful to hear it. I’d expect nothing less from you, my friend. It costs nothing and means much😘🌷
Good afternoon ms idaho, I’ll second Betsy. Laundry counts.
see my ‘story’ above
hugs
have a wonderful day
👍👍👍!!!!!
Good morning all.
Sitting in the truck at Nestle here in eastern PA. Drove through a lot of rain yesterday.
Due to traffic, weather, and Construction I arrived here with only 6 minutes left of my 11 hour drive time.
Worst hold up was just east of Wheeling, WV due to construction. Cost me almost an hour.
In an hour or so I head for Philipsburg and then from there up to Ridgeway, PA.
Then down to our terminal at Vandalia, OH.
Highly doubtful I will make it home without taking another 10 hr break.
Phooey, rah. You did say you didn’t want that…so of course now you have it. Life is like that…stay safe.

Something different
🎶
Abundant happiness and joy for one family…and grief for another.
A few weeks ago I posted about a story about 6 month old August, whose parents were told that if they didn’t vaxxxx him, he was off the transplant list for a new heart at a Vanderbilt hospital. The hospital backed down after a gigantic outcry.
He has now has had his transplant and is recovering.
But his new heart came from another little soul who has died and who is in the arms of his or her heavenly Father.
Lord, bless both these babies who are in Your loving embrace…one here, and one, whose parents in their deep anguish allowed life to go on for another, is now in your eternal care.🙏
Bittersweet story.
Thanks for updating us Betsy 😘
It is, Cat….there’s a time for everything…
Thats awesome!
🤗I was overjoyed to see it, Krypton. Because at one point this child was at the mercy of a doctor who had lost his humanity. A foul creature who bows at the altar of Pharmakeia.
God provided the miracle of thousands of voices rising up against this cruel and senseless demand.
Godspeed, August, to a full and healthful life🙏
Amen, Bet!

Hi krypton 🙋♀️
I haven’t heard this in soooo long. ……only people make you cry…..
Thanks krypton 😘
I keep reading about the Cartels making billions of dollars a month transporting the illegals to our southern border. Can’t the feds sieze their accounts? And who is really paying-I bet it’s the NGO’s funneling tax funds to the cartels.
They’re too busy entrapping patriots and setting up false flags and doing no knock raids without warrants.
On Aging
If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart.

one of the good (?) things about losing your sight – you can’t see wrinkles – or bags – or grey hairs (full grey doesn’t count).
details …. details
I hear you, ms Idaho. My solution is to not turn the lights on if I don’t need them. There is nothing worse, may I add, than overhead lights at our age. I despise them because they reveal droops and lines.
And on those I adopt the Scarlet O’Hara approach …I won’t think about them now. They are what they are.😉🤗
and we earned every darn one of them
By gosh YES!!!!! On the field of battle.🤗
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.
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.
Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Amen.
Amen 🙏
Amen
Amen🙏
Amen.
Amen.
Still in PA at the last rest area on I-80 before the Ohio state line.
Coming out of my last Pickup at Ridgeway I was heading out through “the wilds” on Hwy 66 and there was a big truck blocking the whole road.
Kid pulling a 53’ trailer tried to turn around and ended up with the right wheels of his tractor in a ditch and the trailer completely blocking the road.
Two hours wasted. Bet that kid won’t try that again!
I pulled in here because I could get parking and a bathroom and will now go through Akron before the worst of the traffic tomorrow.
Good night all!
Experience is a hard teacher, but boy do you learn. Night, rah, sleep as well as you can🙏
