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 †

Yeah Skinny 🙂 🙂 😉
Good morning, Garrison. Late last night on another site , someone posted Tuba Skinny letting rip. It was just marvelous and I thought of you immediately, wondering when you’d next post this group with their upbeat sound.
Imagine my delight and surprise in seeing you have done so this morning. Surely no coincidence…
Mornin’ Betsy, darlin’. 🙂 Yep, Tuba Skinny has become a national treasure. They even have the great Erika Lews singing with them again. Her unadorned blues style sounds exactly like those scratchy 20’s early blues recordings.
New to me and I love it. They just need someone playing the spoons!

I think if I had to pick an absolutely best dog celebration video, this would be it. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I will by posting and then watching it again . . . Happy Cursday, Treepers! Pet your puppies (cats too) for me . . .

Good afternoon Garrison and Casco!
Great afternoon GrandpaM!Blessings to you and the lil’ Nipper.Glad to see you got wet today,but praying you guys get some precip soon and somewhat cooler temps. Casco 🙂
We need it bad. We got 1.4 inches last week but need about 15 more. But hopefully not in one shot but spread a little. Memorial Day 2015 we got 13 inches in 4 hours. It was called a 500 year flood.
Right now I’ll take 5 any day. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer. In Jesus Name, amen!
Amen!

The Doorway to the Kingdom
Blessed are the poor in spirit… —Matthew 5:3
Beware of thinking of our Lord as only a teacher. If Jesus Christ is only a teacher, then all He can do is frustrate me by setting a standard before me I cannot attain. What is the point of presenting me with such a lofty ideal if I cannot possibly come close to reaching it? I would be happier if I never knew it. What good is there in telling me to be what I can never be— to be “pure in heart” (Matthew 5:8), to do more than my duty, or to be completely devoted to God? I must know Jesus Christ as my Savior before His teaching has any meaning for me other than that of a lofty ideal which only leads to despair. But when I am born again by the Spirit of God, I know that Jesus Christ did not come only to teach— He came to make me what He teaches I should be. The redemption means that Jesus Christ can place within anyone the same nature that ruled His own life, and all the standards God gives us are based on that nature.
The teaching of the Sermon on the Mount produces a sense of despair in the natural man— exactly what Jesus means for it to do. As long as we have some self-righteous idea that we can carry out our Lord’s teaching, God will allow us to continue until we expose our own ignorance by stumbling over some obstacle in our way. Only then are we willing to come to Him as paupers and receive from Him. “Blessed are the poor in spirit….” This is the first principle in the kingdom of God. The underlying foundation of Jesus Christ’s kingdom is poverty, not possessions; not making decisions for Jesus, but having such a sense of absolute futility that we finally admit, “Lord, I cannot even begin to do it.” Then Jesus says, “Blessed are you…” (Matthew 5:11). This is the doorway to the kingdom, and yet it takes us so long to believe that we are actually poor! The knowledge of our own poverty is what brings us to the proper place where Jesus Christ accomplishes His work.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
“I have chosen you” (John 15:16). Keep that note of greatness in your creed. It is not that you have got God, but that He has got you.
Good morning, Cat💓 Really needed this one this morning. In such a way that I can only count it as an answer to my questions and prayers. A most welcome devotional this morning.🙏

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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

Lies:
Greenland ice that melted last weekend could cover West Virginia in a foot of water | CNN
Truth:
http://polarportal.dk/fileadmin/polarportal/surface/SMB_curves_LA_EN_20220720.png
One of my biggest pet peeves is the phony baloney global cooling, warming hole in the ozone crud they’ve been blithering about most of my life. My Mother used to say “ How vain man is to think he can destroy what God has made”, glad I was raised in a common sense home.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The cabal is desperate. It is evident everywhere. From the UK declaring an “emergency” due to a heatwave to the BS from CNN about Greenland of which there are several more examples that I have not posted. To the hype about the heatwave in the US and the threat of Brandon declaring a “Climate Emergency. To a recent BS claim that a new hole in the Ozone over the tropics has just been found.
They are losing the battle in the courts. After the SCOTUS ruling on West Virginia vr EPA comes this from the UK:
UK High Court: Net Zero Policy Violates the Climate Change Act – Watts Up With That?
The people are not buying it and so any legislative action has to come by being snuck into other bills and even that is limited.
And then there is the fact that it is almost certain now that the Republicans are going to become the majority in Congress and that MAGA candidates are going to gain a lot of seats over the establishment Republicans while doing so. Thus bankers and corporations that have been trying to advance the climate change agenda are likely to see some trouble down the road:
Sen. Tom Cotton Warns Companies Joining ESG: “You’d Better Lawyer Up” – Watts Up With That?

Glad I was raised in a common sense home my Mom always said how vain man is too think he can destroy what God has made. 🇺🇸
Seeing how sea level is constant around the globe you would think that in all the thousands of urban areas we could tell if the sea level is rising without going through the climate Nazi monopoly.
There must be many locations where the waterfront has not changed in 20 – 50 – 100 years. The wharves and piers have not been altered and many of these locations have been filmed or photographed. Lighthouses, metal towers, entries and exits of permanent pipes and culverts and bridge piers set on bedrock in the sea would work. The trick is determining what time of the tide is shown and what type of tide.
I grew up in Northport, Long Island. For about half the year there are hundreds of small craft anchored in Northport Harbor. Most of these boats are only anchored from the bow. When the tide is receding, the boats all swing around and face INTO the harbor. When the tide is incoming, all the boats swing around and face out of the harbor.
If a camera was facing the water and there was a point where you could see a pier crossbeam top (for instance) level with the water, and in the background all the boats were swinging around, neither facing in or out, you’d know that instant was high tide and the very top of that beam is not underwater per se, but awash for a few minutes.
There are spring tides and neep tides and also lunar tides but most days the tides are the same. I mean the same high water level. Tides are 12 hours and 25 minutes apart. If you had photos being taken at the same place over decades and you accessed tidal records you’d know within an inch or so if the high water level was different. Storm surges would be on record so we could rule them out.
We’d need someplace where they don’t erase a security tape every day. We could also utilize security cameras that might be across the street as long as they were a decent quality and faced a permanent structure in the water.
I moved off Long Island in 1977 and I was back there about 2010 and didn’t notice any difference at the Northport Village Pier. The way the climate mafia talks, the pier would have been swamped with water at high tide.
I’m looking for irrefutable photographic evidence of rising sea levels that would NOT be subject to doctoring by the climate mob.
“Texian” … any thoughts? Who’s the Treeper that used a sailboat in his icon?
For what it’s worth, I also challenge these deceivers with solid “carved” evidence. 50 years ago I carved my initials into a rock on a little ledge we used to fish off as kids. Although barely visible and weathered, I can still make out the indentations made by the “carving”. One could just as easily sit and fish from the exactly same spot today. Sorry fellas no sea level rise in this neck of the
woods, err, coast.Another thought occurred to me. I’m positive the various suspension bridges, when they were built across traffic areas frequented by US Navy ships , were accurately measured to a foot or less in the center above median high tide so that they would clear the masts of aircraft carriers in particular. The Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge and the Verrrazzano Narrows Bridge were between the Brooklyn Navy Yard and the Atlantic Ocean.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Bridge 135 feet above mean high water
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooklyn_Bridge 127 feet above mean high water
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verrazzano-Narrows_Bridge 228 feet above median high water
I know the US Navy has it figured out to less than a foot. Knowing the US Navy, I guarantee there is a protocol spelling out where and how the exact measurements were done.

You are allowed to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge !!!
Good morning all.
Another warm one here in central Indiana. I won’t say hot because some of you will be up over the century mark and we will see 90.
SW Missouri has seen the century mark for 7 days with 7 more days at least to go.
Surprisingly, at my place we have not seen the century mark yet, though several past summers we have in the 22 years we have lived here. I do know though that the rains we had last weekend saved the crops of our local farmers.
Hope I’m not stealing WeeWeed’s thunder.

I was wondering if anyone knew the story about a prohibition Montana bootlegger who was as big as Al Capone. My understanding is that Al Capone worked with the Bronfmans (and others) and shipped out to Chicago et al. The story is this Montana bootlegger shipped south to Denver and other parts west.
This Montana bootlegger supposedly got into bootlegging to pay for his daughter’s iron lung. His operation was very big at the time and was quite low key, hence not much is known about him.
Here is an interesting book about Havre, Montana:

So typical.
Here’s what we know about the armed bystander who killed the shooter at an Indiana mall (msn.com)
The quality of “journalism” today.
Definition of bystander
: one who is present but not taking part in a situation or event : a chance spectator
Bystander Definition & Meaning – Merriam-Webster
Neither the victims or the man that took out the shooter meets the definition of “bystander”. They are participants that are taking some part in the action in one way or another.
But this BS headline makes it through the editing process.
Yes, but it’s possible the headline writers have chosen the new 2022 updated Merriam-Webster dictionary, the new one that also redefines woman and other common words, so may have updated their definition for ‘bystander’.
“God, cover me!”
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings. — Psalm 17:8
Once my son was watching something on the television and he became scared. I was in a nearby room and I watched him as he took the blanket that he had and he covered himself with the blanket. He felt that the blanket would provide him a little protection from the fear that he was experiencing.
While we all probably laugh at the idea that a blanket can provide protection, the concept of being covered in the midst of the situation is not new. In fact, scripture references it here in Psalm 17 in the words “shadow of thy wings.” In nature, it’s common for birds to protect their young by putting them under their wings.
For the small birds to be under the wings, keeps them from potentially getting out of the nest. It keeps them close and warm. It prevents the bird from potentially being snatched and removed by a predator who is hungry and looking to devour them.
As David is praying here, he is asking God to protect him as a bird would its young. He is admitting vulnerability and that he needs protection. He realizes that the situations that he is facing could devour him. He needs the closeness and protection that only God can provide in his situation.
Maybe you find yourself in a similar situation today. The world is full of things that could devour and destroy us if given the opportunity. Thankfully, we have a God that is able to protect us. No matter what may bring fear into our lives, He is able to cover us with a spiritual blanket so to speak. If you find yourself in this situation, do what David did.
Simply pray, “God, cover me!” God will give you protection that He alone can provide.

Great video from Tony Heller:
While I was looking for the video of Mexico’s President from yesterday’s press conference (where he included a video from a Mexican group, “Oh, I’m So Scared” in response to pressure being brought to bear by the USA on Mexico re energy policy) –
I found this earlier video (from 2020) where he shares the Saints that he carries in his pockets – I thought that was pretty good! I have prayer cards too, one going back to 2006 – plus a friend found a St. Benedict medal for me that I can wear as a pin (I had worn one on a necklace for about twenty years but then gave it to someone else to wear – she also sent me a beautiful rosary, too – from “My Hero, My Saint”)
