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 †

Does Biden have a cat?
Morning, Patience and Ma🤗🤗. Unfortunately for the cat, he does.
Good morning Bet and Patience! Looks like it was a slow day at the OT yesterday. My bride and I are about to tackle all the stuff accumulated around the outside of the house while it’s still a bit cooler. Shalom! ❤️
Good morning, G💖 Saved this just for you. On a sign somewhere in the middle of nowhere…
“My wife said I never listen to her…or something like that.”
Don’t you two overdo. I’m headed for an early morning shop to our neighbourhood Walmart. Hope they’ve got stuff. Shalom,my friend.🙏

On my mind as well….
IN PEACE AND JOY I NOW DEPART
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
— Luke 2: 25-32, KJV
This post-communion hymn dates back to the Reformation. The text and tune are attributed to Martin Luther.
Occasionally on Sunday we celebrate using the “old” liturgy, which includes many hymns from Reformation times. This is a good ending for those services.
This hymn has been going through my mind a lot during the last few weeks, even though we haven’t sung it for a considerable time. I guess when that happens, the best thing to do is enjoy it and pay attention to the words.
Happy Thursday, Treepers!
If you click the YouTube logo at the bottom of the window, you’ll be able to see the words better at the bottom.
Good morning 1530! Your post pairs real well with the devotional posted by Home.
Good morning, GrandpaM. Here’s a sung version …
BENEDICTUS – THE SONG OF ZACHARIAH
[Spoken by his father to the baby who would become known as John the Baptist]
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
for he has visited and redeemed his people;
and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David
As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets who have been from of old,
salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us;
To show mercy toward our fathers,
to remember his holy covenant,
the oath which he swore to Abraham our father,
To grant to us that we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies,
should serve him without fear,
in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life.
And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,
to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their sins,
Because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the dawn from on high will visit us,
to shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death;
to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
— Luke 1: 68-79, WEB
Yes.

Thanks ..

This is absolutely SPOT ON! Although I listened to a variety of classical music records made for children, I also was an avid fan of the cartoons that used classical and classical-type (full orchestra) music throughout each “story”.
Who can forget the best animated classical music-themed production of all time – Walt Disney’s Fantasia, released in 1940? Children were infused with the rich music of Tchaikovsky, Bach, Liszt, and in the famous “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” scene, the music of Paul Dukas’ symphonic poem of the same name from 1897.
The author of this article is correct in his speculation that the children of the recent years have not received any music education through cartoons like we Boomers did.

Good morning all.
One of those days yesterday. Was called in to run to Romulus, MI for a Leer load. Take an empty up and then drop it and hook to a loaded trailer bound for Leer in Indy where I would drop the loaded trailer in a door and then hook to an empty to bring back to Anderson.
They called me at 17:20 for a run that was supposed to depart at 18:00. I got in at 18:10 only to find my truck was not in the spot where I had parked it. Now the way it works is there is no assigned parking but when the garage pulls your truck from the spot they are to put a traffic cone in front of the spot to save it for you.
My truck was being washed and the wash bay workers failed to do that so my spot was taken. It may seem petty but that spot is perfect since one does not have to take the time driving up and down isle to get into it or once pulling out. It saves time and in my job every minute counts sometimes. Just like in this instance where the driver had called off the load and I was called to cover it and would be leaving late anyway.
I could not believe they had gone through 5 salary drivers yesterday! I knew I was #6 on the list yesterday morning. I’m going to be checking on that with Josh.
So once I parked my pickup in the spot I would take when I got back from the run I drove over to the warehouse and hooked to an empty and then went to dispatch because I had not been dispatched because they had failed to send the details of the run to my Samsara as they are supposed to.
When I went in I found they didn’t even have the paperwork ready. After wasting 10 minutes with all of that I was finally on my way.
On the way up after over halfway to Romulus they called and said the load I had been dispatched on had canceled! So a new load was sent to me. I would take the empty trailer to the company Romulus terminal and hook to a loaded trailer there. The load would come back to the Anderson terminal. That was the best thing that happened to me because it saved and trip to Indy and then back to Anderson.
I’m not a whining sissy so I did not go into the garage and demand they move the other guys truck from my spot. I did however let the girl in charge of the wash bay know that her drug addled workers were not following proper procedures.
Sooner or later I will have to opportunity to get back one of those handy spots.
My definition of drug addled people “ Crack Monkeys “. 😜 Not sure if all your tractors are the same but when they look alike kind of tough to find the right one when it’s not in the same spot 🇺🇸
The tractor is 21533, numbered on each side of bonnet and on the back of the sleeper. The parking place I was using was #247 designated by a sign.
Oh, BTW, my truck was in the wash bay. When I saw it was not in it’s slot I drover up one side of the garage and down the other looking into each bay to see if it was there. The last bay on one end is the wash bay.

July 22 Oswald Chambers
Sanctification (1)
This is the will of God, your sanctification… —1 Thessalonians 4:3
The Death Side. In sanctification God has to deal with us on the death side as well as on the life side. Sanctification requires our coming to the place of death, but many of us spend so much time there that we become morbid. There is always a tremendous battle before sanctification is realized— something within us pushing with resentment against the demands of Christ. When the Holy Spirit begins to show us what sanctification means, the struggle starts immediately. Jesus said, “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate…his own life…he cannot be My disciple” (Luke 14:26).
In the process of sanctification, the Spirit of God will strip me down until there is nothing left but myself, and that is the place of death. Am I willing to be myself and nothing more? Am I willing to have no friends, no father, no brother, and no self-interest— simply to be ready for death? That is the condition required for sanctification. No wonder Jesus said, “I did not come to bring peace but a sword” (Matthew 10:34). This is where the battle comes, and where so many of us falter. We refuse to be identified with the death of Jesus Christ on this point. We say, “But this is so strict. Surely He does not require that of me.” Our Lord is strict, and He does require that of us.
Am I willing to reduce myself down to simply “me”? Am I determined enough to strip myself of all that my friends think of me, and all that I think of myself? Am I willing and determined to hand over my simple naked self to God? Once I am, He will immediately sanctify me completely, and my life will be free from being determined and persistent toward anything except God (see 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24).
When I pray, “Lord, show me what sanctification means for me,” He will show me. It means being made one with Jesus. Sanctification is not something Jesus puts in me— it is Himself in me (see 1 Corinthians 1:30).
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS

Only one comment followed this tale of real world karma…
“Not only a B Prof Com and a dab hand at ladling out soup, but the only woman in New Zealand who can eat an apple through a chain-wire fence.”
There are more now. But that woman deserves what she gets. Their press is even more in bed with the left than ours or that of Canada. So nothing but support for her. When an independent journalist asked her a tough question about COVID she refused to answer saying something to the effect ‘your not an authorized media representative’ and had security hold the guy while she moved away with her press following her.
She is as full of herself as any I’ve ever seen. But then Schwab tapped her on the shoulder to destroy NZ. Which she has done.
It amazes me one person such as she can get away with what has been done to a whole country,and no one can stop her.
Monstrous.

‘Florida’s Surplus Budget Allows DeSantis to Help Families with $450 Per Child to Fight Inflation’ @BB they’re raving DeSantis is God sent.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/07/21/floridas-surplus-budget-allows-desantis-to-help-families-with-450-per-child-to-fight-inflation/
Personally, I be more impressed with DeSantis lowering State sales taxes to 6% across the board for a year, than giving my money to my neighbors, just because they have children.
Financial redistribution isn’t a republican thing, it’s a democrat political type ‘for the Children’ gameplay. Charity should be voluntary and used to come from Churches, not the State!
Next, he’ll be giving our money to illegal immigrants.
Texas has a $28 Billion (!!!) surplus. The way this state is run, that will fund more windmills for every square inch of the state.
the repuke establishment managed to manipulate the primaries again so we are stuck with rino Abbott.
I know, G. Cornyn (who sold us out on guns), blabber mouth poseur Cruz, and climate cultist do nothing Abbott.
But better Abbott than O’Rourke. Soros has dropped a million in his lap. Pray hard,my friend.
I am, Bet. Independent Republic of Texas looks better every day.
Haven’t seen Levi in a few days.
No….he’s on my mind. And in my prayers. Suddenly not here.
And G….please send my love to Frank. Been thinking about him as well since your post. I hope he is better.🙏

“God didn’t remove the Red Sea. He parted it. God doesn’t always remove your problems, but He will make a way through them.”
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.

You know I am not ‘religious’ in the sense of prayers, psalms, or sermons. I do, however, try to pay attention to the signs and signals – message from ‘He Who Steers The Ship’ (so to speak).
I give you this little vignette from my week
My Retina Specialist, who has been delivering my regular Lucentis shots (and is very pleased with the results re: wet macular) has been following the pressures in my eyes during these past 3 years of treatment.
In early April I detected a change in my’wet’ eye and by June I was concerned enough to try to get one of my opthalmologists to tell me what is going on. Got prescribed Rx drops. Pressure in the eye was building up (even with the drops) – DANGER – if the optic nerve gets damaged it ain’t coming back.
Short story long – I had a visit with a Glaucoma Specialist Wednesday. He measured a pressure of 29. We discussed options and settled on a date for surgery at the end of August.
Well, I figured with the rapid downhill progress of pressure in my eye, detectable loss of sight, by the end of August there might not be a reason to operate.
You have to understand – there are not many specialists like him around – and (would you believe it?) he had scheduled a 2 week vacation into his busy schedule – plus the difficulty of getting a slot with the surgicenter.
Now I know there are lots of stories about doctors who seem in the business for $$, who seem to care not one whit about ‘your’ problems.
So this happened…
I got a call yesterday afternoon from the doctor’s assistant. Can we reschedule the surgery for August 3?
Here’s the rest of the story: Doctor will be back from vacation and the surgicenter has agreed to open early – 6 AM, so he can operate. Mind you – both doctor and center were booked until the end of August – gulp
No guarantee this shunt will save the sight in my eye, but it stands the best chance of keeping what I have.
As they say, God moves in strange ways and uses people who can do what needs to be done. I am humbled.
Wishing you all a ‘cool’ Blessed Friday
That raised every hair….
God bless your doctor
—and you!
yes – me tooooo
I carry an image of a cartoon from years ago…

….His wonders to behold.
This is just fantastic news, ms Idaho!! From my perch I can see this no other way than our Great Waymaker has “parted the sea”.
I’ve said before that I consider you have had so many wonderful blessing just through your human, compassionate doctors, who abide by the oaths so many (most?) seem to have kicked to the curb.
But this is a blessing of extraordinary magnitude, and I am genuinely and deeply happy for your having received it.🤗🌷🙏
keep your sunny side up
Absolutely!!💖
Adding you to my prayer list, MS Idaho. I too have some hereditery macular “stuff” going on but not yet blocking any critical central vision. Hoping your procedure is a success.
to expand the story – Left eye has dry macular – sounds like what you describe. Vision in that eye is distorted – but both eyes give me OK sight.
Right eye had a bleed about 3 yrs ago. Miracle drug, Lucentis (gene therapy) was applied. After a year (side effect) cataract surgery. not too long after that (2 yrs ago) I began having a loud noise in my brain. It varied in intensity – the sound of a zillion bees buzzing INSIDE – not tinnitis. Web research found this is a fairly common reaction to life stressors – often emotional, but not limited.
That sound of neurons firing is so loud the ears ‘hear’ it. Mine is often accompanied by muffled hearing, stuffy nose, swollen upper and lower eyelids and scalp tension. I cannot figure a trigger. My guess is that this noise is often misdiagnosed as tinnitis.
I laughingly told my doctor – It’s all in my head – ha ha
Enywhoo – when my pressure in the eye started to rise, guess what? Another side effect of the gene therapy – Lucentis.
In summary – Left eye dry macular holding steady – nutrition support only. wet macular problem, prolifieration of blood vessels and seepage – solved. Yay! Ahem – but new problem – glaucoma.
Folks have been watching my eye pressure carefully for 3 yrs. This increase began in early April and has accelerated over these few months. Rx drops did not stop the increase in pressure. Shunt has 75% chance of draining flued – or not. Other side effects are possible. Of course, blindness is always mentioned.
Not trying to be a negative nellie, shunt doesn’t sound like fun, either – but it’s the first best chance. Gotta be grateful for each day – and assume the best result.
Ugh. Sounds like you are taking the necessary action to avoid / delay loss of vision. I can see here that we are all pulling for you. God’s Will be done.
if I could I would post hearts, hugs and kisses
The worst happen? Not on our prayerful watch🙏
I don’t know how to respond
I alternate between a hope that you are right / that powerful
and bowing my head ‘Thy will be done’
The best I can do is pray that I will be able to make good decisions – whatever is in store for Doc and me. Ain’t nobody got that magic crystal ball on the future
My problems pale in importance to what others have to deal with Placing one foot in front of the other – plodding relentlessly onward – the best I can do
Good afternoon ms idaho. My bride had elevated IOP about 10 years ago. Was doing drops, regular check ups with the ophthalmologist and such. A friend of ours who is an optometrist with a chain in Houston suggested a laser procedure. It was quite fast and painless, done by one of the ophthalmologists working for the chain. Her regular eye doctor was quite pissed off that we did that and said that it works for just 5 years anyway. It has been 10 years and they eye pressures have stayed normal, PTL!
BTW, the price was right, done as a favor from one doctor to another it cost the price of gas driving to Houston and back.
My prayer is that your surgery goes well and does the job.
Thanks Grandpa. Laser was presented and discussed. 50 / 50 % chance of success – always available in the future. What made me say ‘yes’ to the shunt is a combination of fear re: the sudden rise in pressure and a higher success rate – plus shunt is removable.
You see, I have lost quite a bit of sight in that eye already – in the past few weeks. By the time they do the surgery I will likely have lost even more. Loss is permanent.
I have good vision in my left eye – except for the distortion where the retina is dead. That means if I lose the right eye I can no longer read or drive or …. well, you get the idea.
You will know if that happens ’cause I will disappear from our beloved treehouse
Will be praying for no more loss of sight in the right eye and a successful surgery. And of course, for the Lord’s perfect healing.
Heavenly Father I pray your guiding hand while ms Idaho has this procedure and the healing blood of Jesus Christ that heals all wounds cover her after in Jesus Holy name Amen 🙏🏻
I humbly thank you for your sweet prayer.

Depart for KC on the Toyota replacement part run at 01:00 Monday.
Josh explained why I was called yesterday. I should not have been. He had to set two of those on the list up for runs leaving today that were two day runs. Obviously they were drivers that would not get OT as I would have it I worked today and Saturday. That left 3 in front of me, but I was called instead of the next driver up for whatever reason.

just read oxen across America by Meeks. When Pres. Pierce opened the Oregon territory in 1852 with free 320 acres to anybody who could get there the rush was on. 54 40 or fight was the yip. Oregon territory filled up fast with americans and the Brits moved north. though we didn’t get up to 54 40 (Prince Rupert area) we won. some things in the book make me wonder like when the wife got a thousand silver dollars they had to take the wagon back for all of it. wonder what it would weigh?
1000 silver dollars of that period would have weighed a little under 60 lb. A silver dollar from that period weighed 26.73 grams
26.73 grams X 1000 = 26730 grams.
thank you rah. you are a gem.
