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 †

A topic that really needs discussion:
Filtering. The way the left has used filters with non-ideological labels but that filter ideologically, to ‘cancel’ people in all kinds of ways, needs thorough discussion, explanation, and understanding. To my eyes, the scope and breadth of the filtering is far bigger, and has been going on far longer, than any of us know, and we aren’t talking about it for what it is.
I saved rather than spent during my fortunate pre retirement earning years. Saved sufficiently to live just fine in a satisfactory life style as an official old Effer. Upon retirement, the first aha moment was that all the investments were worthless without the next generation. The next and following generation to embrace and thrive in a system that permits fair compensation for effort and innovation.
Helping the youth to thrive is the Rule Number One!
We must stand between them and the terrible forces of evil which are trying without mercy to destroy them, body or soul. Amen, Ray.

An atheist was seated next to a dusty old cowboy on an airplane and he turned to him and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
The old cowboy, who had just started to read his book, replied to the total stranger, “What would you want to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the atheist. “How about why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?” as he smiled smugly.
“Okay,” he said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass.
Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps.
Why do you suppose that is?”
The atheist, visibly surprised by the old cowboy’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”
To which the cowboy replies,
“Do you really feel qualified to discuss God, Heaven and Hell, or life after death, when you don’t know shit?”………..

Oh, I love this one. Cannot wait to share it with my atheist neighbor.
My hubby made an observation years ago. Atheists are the only group of people who have so many emotions over something they don’t think is real.
Atheists are certain that they know that there is no God. However, to know that they must have universal knowledge of everything and within that everything that God does not exist. By claiming that there is no God they claim an attribute of God for themselves (omniscience). The atheist therefore becomes a god in his own mind and claims for himself that which he claims does not exist.
Interesting, TY
Best one I’ve read in a long time 😂😂…thanks..
🇺🇸💪👍
as I fear we’ll find ourselves saying more and more frequently in this formerly great nation of ours
“De nada”
yeah, I like the “little pellets -to- flat patty -to- clumps” descriptive laid out as it was
I just want a nice little house on some land….out in the boonies….with a lake or river running through it. And I don’t want to see a neighbor for miles. The Amish had the right idea all along. One can dream…………
Hi Stranger…you don’t ask for much…the no electricity thing might do you in…lol.. how are things?
Hey you! 🙂 Well….I thought I could get some tips from Congressman Massie…..since his entire home is ran off the grid! But honestly….I didn’t consider the small details like electricity 😛 Maybe I’ve been watching too much Naked & Afraid? I’m in fight or flight mode! lol
How have you been. Same ole’ same ole’ here. Nothing exciting.
Hey Emmy Lou Hayes it’s going good here….I’m all prepped up even for the electric…Yeah that show has prepared you well…just remember the Amish frown on the naked part…lol
It’s bedtime here so I’m signing off. Have a great night!
I guess I should’ve refreshed my screen….I didn’t see this until now. Goodnight…..
hehe! Well that’s good news! So when shtf…..maybe I can run an extension cord off your electric! haha! Or maybe barter for some stuff…..
August 9 Oswald Chambers
Prayer in the Father’s Hearing
Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.” —John 11:41
When the Son of God prays, He is mindful and consciously aware of only His Father. God always hears the prayers of His Son, and if the Son of God has been formed in me (see Galatians 4:19) the Father will always hear my prayers. But I must see to it that the Son of God is exhibited in my human flesh. “…your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit…” (1 Corinthians 6:19), that is, your body is the Bethlehem of God’s Son. Is the Son of God being given His opportunity to work in me? Is the direct simplicity of His life being worked out in me exactly as it was worked out in His life while here on earth? When I come into contact with the everyday occurrences of life as an ordinary human being, is the prayer of God’s eternal Son to His Father being prayed in me? Jesus says, “In that day you will ask in My name…” (John 16:26). What day does He mean? He is referring to the day when the Holy Spirit has come to me and made me one with my Lord.
Is the Lord Jesus Christ being abundantly satisfied by your life, or are you exhibiting a walk of spiritual pride before Him? Never let your common sense become so prominent and forceful that it pushes the Son of God to one side. Common sense is a gift that God gave to our human nature— but common sense is not the gift of His Son. Supernatural sense is the gift of His Son, and we should never put our common sense on the throne. The Son always recognizes and identifies with the Father, but common sense has never yet done so and never will. Our ordinary abilities will never worship God unless they are transformed by the indwelling Son of God. We must make sure that our human flesh is kept in perfect submission to Him, allowing Him to work through it moment by moment. Are we living at such a level of human dependence upon Jesus Christ that His life is being exhibited moment by moment in us?

Good afternoon Bet and Cat! It’s late night here, so night night, also. Had a busy day and another one tomorrow. ❤️😍
My American friends, I know that Trump and America is under attack. I dedicate the following song (prayer) to Trump and America. Do not fear as it will be ok in the end! The song is very special and requires a bit of an explanation of one word that means a lot in the Jewish religion and do not exist in other languages in the same way.
The word is “Kaddish”. In a literal translation to English it means “sanctified” or “consecrate”, and truelly the root of the word is one of the oldest languages in the world that goes to more than 1000BC and this meant “Holy or The Holy One”.
But “Kaddish” is a name of one of the holiest prayers in Judaism, so holy that it’s prohibited for less than 10 people together to say it. It’s very short, only some lines and is inserted at the three daily prayers of jews. The prayers are the only prayers that are not in Hebrew but in Aramaic, that ancient language that goes to over 1000BC and was used in very old civilizations in that region. Aramaic is at the root of Hebrew language and is from the same region.
The prayer is basically a very few lines to “praise the Lord”. It is believed that when you praise the Lord with those prayers it will raise the level of the prayer it was inserted into, if a son say Kaddish prayer for his father who died it will help the soul of the father, if you say Kaddish for a sick person it will cast holiness upon him, a Kaddish for Trump would bring holiness upon Trump, etc…. So Kaddish means “to praise the lord for someone or something in this specific way and so bring holiness upon them.”
In later years Kaddish is heard in every funeral for raising the souls of the dead but Kaddish is a lot more than just for the dead.
The words of the song are the actual Kaddish prayers in Aramaic and not Hebrew. Translated to English.
So I hope its not too long an explanation and it’s understood. Enjoy the song (prayer) and I would dedicate it for Trump and America! And you. The singer is Ofra Haza, one of the greatest of all times in Israel, she died young so Kaddish also for her. Shalom :
Good morning, David. And may God bless you for your concern and thoughts to come here to deliver this most Holy and beautiful prayer on behalf of Mr Trump, America, and us, on this wonderful site which is home for so many souls. Surely He will hear our cries and surround Mr Trump and his family with His protection.
Just as he has surrounded Bless-ed Israel this past week, she being under existential attack again, as she always has been. I have thought of you and your fellow Israelis very much during the bombings, and watched videos in amazement as each of missiles hurled against you are decimated before they can reach their targets.
I am thankful that His hand has prevented them from reaching their targets. I am so thankful to see you here this morning offering your prayer for our troubles when you have some of your own.
Blessings to you, sir. Please keep your prayers active for our country, as ours are for yours. The fates of both, I believe, are intrinsically tied together with Godly threads. Surely He will keep us both in His care. Shalom🙏
Thank you again Betsy!!!
You’re most welcome, my friend.
Thank you and yes!
Toda raba, David and good evening! I’m on your time.
Shalom, friend.

Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee. Song 4:7

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
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.

Have you seen this anywhere else?
did the lapdog media follow the FBI hoping to see Trump in handcuffs?
No…haven’t. If the media were tipped off, which I doubt, the footage would have been all over.
This was bad enough, but had the FBI done that, the last thread holding us together would have snapped. It may have already done so.
Good morning all.
Home again. Going up I-65 N had all lanes closed at the junction with Hwy 52 north of Lebanon. To get around the 10 mile back up I ended up doing so Country road country driving. Always interesting pulling a 53′ trailer.
Made it home last night with 21 minutes to spare. Didn’t think I would be able to do that. The first shipper had me in the door 1 hour longer than they should have. The other two shippers got me in and out promptly though. But on that run the last stop is off I-94 only 20 miles from the WI border and your coming back down headed home right in the heart of the Chicago rush hour.
Then there was a lot of rain, sometimes very heavy, and heavy rain and traffic always slows one down considerably. And then there was a back up on I-65 S with the left two lanes closed in the vicinity of where the back up on the North bound side had been before.
But upon dropping the loaded trailer at the Vandalia, OH terminal I was told that they had no loads and not empty trailers for me to take back to Anderson and I could bobtail home. That one stroke of luck was all I needed.
Never give up! NEVER! Keep on pounding no matter how hopeless the situation seems to be. Do that, and sometimes you’ll win despite the odds.
Welcome back, rah. And no…giving up or surrender is not an option. We need a sure fire effective strategy to bring it home to the worthless RINOs how we all know what they are, they’re fooling nobody (which I’ll bet they thought they were pulling off successfully), and make them do the right thing, even if they’re the wrong people. Which they are.
Throughly enjoy reading your posts Rah.
Perhaps you should consider ‘writing’ books, you’ve got talent!
Thanks for always keeping us informed and in the ‘LOOP’ so to speak.
GOD BLESS YOU RAH AND YOUR FAMILY!
Personally I think this lawless regime just assured two things with the raid.
I think that, if they try to argue that Trump is ineligible to hold office because he supposedly was mishandling official documents, then nancy pelosi should be thrown out of office for tearing up the official copy of Trump state of the union speech in front of national audience
Yes that was one disgusting spectacle, Pelosi tearing up the State of the Union. Ugh

There are many individuals who no longer comment, wonder if they still read yet no longer leave their thoughts.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN THESE UNPREDICTABLE TIMES, WE WILL SURVIVE AND THRIVE.
I remember, and believe that Patrick passed away.
