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 †

Yes we do!
Looks just like our good boy “Aces”. My wife likes to call him ‘Kramer-cat’, because he sometimes shows up all-of-a-sudden, like Cosmo Kramer from Seinfeld.
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Even after 5 decades, Joshua Rifkin’s performances of Scott Joplin are still the best. 🙂

Mornin’ Jay! 🙂
Gracious good morning to all our Music Guys above and to their grateful audience😍…myself included front row!
Howdy Betsy 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😁
😁💖!!
😘!!
And a gracious good morning to you, too, Bet. 🙂
Good morning Bet! Will try to appear here when I can but from now until Mom and I leave early next week, it’s nonstop stuff. 😂❤️. One of these weeks that you can run into yourself while coming and going. But it’s all good.
Blessings!
I knew it was creeping up, G. I’m starting prayers up for an uneventful, no flight delay, smooth as silk administrative finishing for you and your mother.
I know it will be a hard trip in many ways. Thomas Wolfe said that one cannot go home again, and I don’t know if you’ve been back or if so when. I am hoping that you will be able to connect with people you both knew…friends perhaps family. But I do pray you’ll both find time to revisit places you remember, catalogue the memories, finish the business you went for, and return home safe and sound.🤗
I commend you both to the loving care of our Almighty Father for your journey.💖🙏
( I hope you’ll just check in at least once before you go.)
Thank you, Bet! Been back plenty of times. Last time was 3 years ago. Like to go visit but home is the Hill Country.
I’ll take any prayers that you can spare. 🙂
As many as you want, as many as you need, my dear friend.🙏
Somerset Maugham said (paraphrasing) that some people are born in the wrong place. And if they are lucky, they will find that place where they should have been. There is an instant feeling of home, as if they’ve been there before and know it in their very being.
I felt that about my home in Wales and Wales itself. It’s clear you feel the same about The Hill Country💖😉
Good morning Garrison, Jay, and Flyover!
Yo, Gramps. Have a good trip! 🙂
🙂
Happy Trails and may the good Lord keep you safe 🙏🏻😁
Thank you.

Thanks for the Memory
Yes, I did rewatch Xanadu last night and added Mr Kelly for future posting.
Great video. Everybody should watch this!! 🙂
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire dance to
Led Zeppelin
Pretty good, however this one still my favorite
I have this theory that all actors (Hollywood and Broadway) wanted to be Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly when they were growing up.
Singin’ in the Rain (Full Song/Dance – ’52) – Gene Kelly – Musical Romantic Comedies – 1950s Movies
Since we are on to this subject:
From Xanadu, Gene Kelly last dance on screen.
Their parents might have done a little pushing as mine did and enrolled all 3 of us in tap dancing lessons as kids.
Probably why I hate to dance to this day.
Now as for singing, never really was a problem out of a public spotlight.
That was definitely a learned skill when my servers finally drug me to Karaoke, took about 3 years of singing to the pool tables before I could look at the audience, liquid lubrication from the bar didn’t hurt either.
Now I run the Karaoke show, never could have imagined doing it till I was asked to do it, I was mostly the tech/roadie guy before that.
Clint Eastwood, and so many others would not fit in with your theory.
Mornin, rah!

I think they tried to make John Wayne a singing cowboy too but gave up. I remember when he played a lawman I think named “Singing Sandy” very cringe worthy
Indeed 😝
-“pilgrim”
They dubbed his dentist in the singing Sandy film
I’ll see your Dirty Harry with a James Bond, Sean Connery:
First link is from “Dr. No” and the second from “Darby O’Gill and the Little People”. Connery did sing in the chorus of a British touring company of “South Pacific”.
I’ll raise you a Kirk Douglas
Last one;
Gregory Peck was a good sport 😄

I love that movie and I wonder how much, if any, that turtle shell guitar playing was dubbed for Kirk Douglas? James Cagney stepped out of his gangster tough guy image to win the 1942 Oscar for Best Actor in “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and Errol Flynn was actually a pretty good singer.
Some interesting editing here. You can edit film and music two ways. You can cut the film to the music or you can cut the music to the film. Back in the analog days you needed a well equipped studio with “real” film editing and sound recording equipment and “real” (ahem) editors and sound engineers (ahem) to do this work. But now, digital editing software and a laptop computer, makes this all wonderfully easy. Oh, yeah. In these videos the “film was cut to the music”.
😍😍😍!!!
Remember these guys?
Do NOT try this at home!
Learned today what a Choco Taco is/was. Who knew?
Is this related to breakfast tacos?
Did Jill Ki!! the Dessert taco too?
Feisty, I hadnt heard of them either.
Did Klondike go woke and decide that Choco Taco was rayssus?

The Way to Knowledge
If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine… —John 7:17
The golden rule to follow to obtain spiritual understanding is not one of intellectual pursuit, but one of obedience. If a person wants scientific knowledge, then intellectual curiosity must be his guide. But if he desires knowledge and insight into the teachings of Jesus Christ, he can only obtain it through obedience. If spiritual things seem dark and hidden to me, then I can be sure that there is a point of disobedience somewhere in my life. Intellectual darkness is the result of ignorance, but spiritual darkness is the result of something that I do not intend to obey.
No one ever receives a word from God without instantly being put to the test regarding it. We disobey and then wonder why we are not growing spiritually. Jesus said, “If you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift” (Matthew 5:23-24). He is saying, in essence, “Don’t say another word to me; first be obedient by making things right.” The teachings of Jesus hit us where we live. We cannot stand as impostors before Him for even one second. He instructs us down to the very last detail. The Spirit of God uncovers our spirit of self-vindication and makes us sensitive to things that we have never even thought of before.
When Jesus drives something home to you through His Word, don’t try to evade it. If you do, you will become a religious impostor. Examine the things you tend simply to shrug your shoulders about, and where you have refused to be obedient, and you will know why you are not growing spiritually. As Jesus said, “First…go….” Even at the risk of being thought of as fanatical, you must obey what God tells you.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
We should always choose our books as God chooses our friends, just a bit beyond us, so that we have to do our level best to keep up with them.
Good morning, Cat❣️
“Reading” aloud sometimes helps … giving clarity.
Good morning Cat and Patience! Have a blessed day. ❤️
A good and glorious day to you, Grandpa❣️
Afternoon, Cat💖 Hoping your day is ticking over nicely🤗
July 27
Morning
Christ, who is the image of God. II Cor. 4:4
The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. Isa. 40:5
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:18, 14
He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. John 14:9
The brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person. Heb. 1:3
God was manifest in the flesh. I Tim. 3:16
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. Col. 1:14, 15
Whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Rom. 8:29
As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. I Cor 15:49
Evening
Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle. Psa. 18:39
When I am weak, then am I strong. II Cor. 12:10
Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. II Chron. 14:11
Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him. II Chron. 18:31
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. Psa. 118:8, 9
There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength. An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Psa. 33:16, 17
We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God. Eph. 6:12,13

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
It seems time for this….
Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the path to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is and not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.
And may His peace rest with all of us here, and with those who we know need it so much in their circumstances and their lives.🙏
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.

Ok, so I theorized Ukraine was to get the new green deal going .
My latest thoughts are , the smallpox vaccine used for monkeypox will start a smallpox outbreak just like it did In Africa behind Bill Gates .
Thoughts ?
Don’t know how many bioweapon labs still function in Ukraine. All news about them has gone very quiet. Anything is possible…or more likely probable.
I suspect they have one or two outbreaks planned well before November.

My cat was spayed and I now not urinating. She is at vet and I’m worried it’s neurological. Dr. Is going to try meds. Overall she is normal. Anyone experience this with their cat?

Cyprus to be the new EU hotspot for petroleum instead of Moscow? Erdogan is on it, for himself. Just don’t tell Amos Hochstein.
https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Could-Cyprus-Help-Europe-Replace-Russian-Natural-Gas.html
https://ahvalnews.com/turkey-hydrocarbons/turkey-resume-gas-exploration-mediterranean-early-august
Cyprus. Isn’t that where Papadapolis (sp?) was working on getting a pipeline from there to Israel and beyond and so became an easy target for the Democrats as he was a consultant to then Candidate Trump’s campaign?
interesting that Erdogan is in on this play now since Turkey claims ownership of that island, while Greece also claims it as its own.
Was reading in the Arab news that the Saudi heir apparent, MBS, is on a state visit to Greece, signing all sorts of new business agreements between these two nations. Wonder how Erdogan’s entry into the Cyprus oil plays into the Saudi’s current move.
