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 †

The soundest advice I’ll probably hear today.
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Hiya, Jay! 🙂
Howdy Garrison 🙂
Morning jay and Garrison!
🇺🇸🇺🇸😁
Good morning to all my guys above!😘 I know the day is starting out right when I see all three of you where you should be…
…or where I think you should be. 😉
Blessings to you all, Mr jay, Garrison, G🙏
Mornin’ Bet! Looks like Spectrum finally fix the “outage”. Couldn’t connect for most of yesterday. Grrrrr. Be well, darlin. 🙂
Thank you, my friend. How annoying and moreover frustrating. An “outage”, huh?? Or dry run? Hmmmmmmmm…
I’m afraid I’ve become so extremely suspicious that I could probably give Sundance’s Suspicious Cat a run for his money.
Good morning Betsy, cooler here in the NW today. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I am so glad for you, Mr jay!! Just to feel.cool air, imagine it has put a little more oomph in your step. Hope so.
We had a small but welcome rain yesterday for about 30 minutes. We need so much more but I gave thanks for what we got.
The hangover of it is crushing humidity…47%. And another slim chance of rain this afternoon.
I remember wondering, when I was little, why it was grownups always seem to be so focused on weather. Brother, do I get it now!😁
BOOM!!!! A massive downpour!! Thank you, Almighty God!!!🙏
🙂
Have a restful Wednesday, Treepers. Sometimes when things are really, really hard the right music can fill the deepest emotional hole. Great music is magic in that respect. Enjoy and find some solace amid the chaos . . . 🙂
I just finished listening to some Debussy, Garrison. And here you are with more, and music of some of my favourite composers to add to it. Simply wonderful and so much needed to calm the soul in these disturbing times.
I thank you for them.😘

The Holy Suffering of the Saint
Let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to Him in doing good… —1 Peter 4:19
Choosing to suffer means that there must be something wrong with you, but choosing God’s will— even if it means you will suffer— is something very different. No normal, healthy saint ever chooses suffering; he simply chooses God’s will, just as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not. And no saint should ever dare to interfere with the lesson of suffering being taught in another saint’s life.
The saint who satisfies the heart of Jesus will make other saints strong and mature for God. But the people used to strengthen us are never those who sympathize with us; in fact, we are hindered by those who give us their sympathy, because sympathy only serves to weaken us. No one better understands a saint than the saint who is as close and as intimate with Jesus as possible. If we accept the sympathy of another saint, our spontaneous feeling is, “God is dealing too harshly with me and making my life too difficult.” That is why Jesus said that self-pity was of the devil (see Matthew 16:21-23). We must be merciful to God’s reputation. It is easy for us to tarnish God’s character because He never argues back; He never tries to defend or vindicate Himself. Beware of thinking that Jesus needed sympathy during His life on earth. He refused the sympathy of people because in His great wisdom He knew that no one on earth understood His purpose (see Matthew 16:23). He accepted only the sympathy of His Father and the angels (see Luke 15:10).
Look at God’s incredible waste of His saints, according to the world’s judgment. God seems to plant His saints in the most useless places. And then we say, “God intends for me to be here because I am so useful to Him.” Yet Jesus never measured His life by how or where He was of the greatest use. God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
God engineers circumstances to see what we will do. Will we be the children of our Father in heaven, or will we go back again to the meaner, common-sense attitude? Will we stake all and stand true to Him? “Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.” The crown of life means I shall see that my Lord has got the victory after all, even in me.
Good morning, Cat.
If we are filled with the love of Christ, as He is for us, then surely our compassion for others of our brothers and sisters in Him who are suffering, and for those who do not yet know Him, is not to be scolded. I cannot agree with Chambers today.
I said to Casco last week that compassion is an essential part of our DNA which is our humanity. Without it, we are missing essential parts of our souls.
And as we can all too clearly see today, the creatures in charge of our earthly government and those governments around the world have not a shred of God or Christ in them. Their spiritual DNA is corrupted, as they deliver blow after deliberate blow upon us all.
I am reading many stories on our neighbourhood newsletter from people who are in real trouble, who are suffering, whose children are suffering because of that deliberate cruelty inflicted by those for whom these storytellers are simply so much white noise.
Perhaps the appropriate word to use is not “sympathy”… but “empathy”. If we do not have that for anyone enduring sorrow, pain, distress, fear, persecution etc… then, to my way of thinking, we, as children of our merciful God are no better than those who every day show how truly lacking in Him they are.
Blessings to you, girl🙏
Good morning Betsy ❤️
A very interesting intriguing pondering you have here today. Thank you 😘 😊
Betsy, one thing that stood out for me was “ self-pity is of the devil”. It has been too easy to want to give up and give in to the current world we live in – to cry out “why was i born for such times”. To feel sorry for ourselves and wait for others to step up to fix it all. There is no one that can in this world – only God. I think we need to pray for the church of God in this world daily- they have been corrupted and need to repent and go back to teaching/declaring God’s word.
Thoughtful, Rileytrips. And I agree. As my prayer book calls it His Holy Church Universal.
I have watched in abject horror as church after church has in the past two years turned its face away from God Himself, and shut their doors against the sheep of His flock who have had nowhere else to turn for succor. I never thought I’d see the day the doors of churches everywhere were closed. A grievous act.
“why was i born for such times”?? Probably a question asked by all of us at some point, but it is told that even before creation, when all souls were still 1 with God, He asked each of the souls to which generation they be sent. After all had chosen, there was still a “group” undecided. God asked them again, to which they replied – we are strong, let us be the last generation.
I love that, oldspeak. Thank you!

MORNING
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. John 17:15
Blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world. Phil. 2:15
Ye are the salt of the earth…. the light of the world. Matt. 5:13, 14
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matt. 5:16
I also withheld thee from sinning against me. Gen. 20:6
The Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. II Thess. 3:3
So did not I, because of the fear of God. Neh. 5:15
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father. Gal. 1:4
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever Amen. Jude 21, 25
EVENING
Whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe. (Or, set on high.) Prov. 29:25
The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high. Isa. 33:5
The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; that he may set him with princes. Psa. 113:4, 7, 8
God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Eph. 2:4-6
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us ail things? For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 8:32, 38, 39

Greetings Treepers!
Hello my long absent brother!! Just seeing you again is my joy in the morning. Praying you are well🙏🤗
Wow!!!! That was fantastic!! It was marvelous watching the drummers – female and male – the feeling they put into this made it great. Thank you Krypton for putting this on here for all to enjoy.
By the most marvelous coincidence I was thinking about this movie yesterday. It was impressive and gripping. The musical score was emotional and couldn’t have been better composed. Thank you for this, Krypton.
Wow, this music! I’d forgotten. Makes me remember the scene in which the younger daughter steps off the cliff over the waterfall rather than taking the hand of the vengeful Indian who had killed her father. Ill never forget the look on her face as she did it. Powerful!
Oh how I agree. The acting didn’t look like acting at all. And you are right. The serenity in her face as she fell…a romance for the ages with the intensity of the Indian brother of Daniel Day Lewis having fallen for her and dying trying to protect her. An utterly remarkable movie that stuck with me for a long time after. Seeing it one time only is not sufficient.
Good morning all
A look at the Atlantic
National Hurricane Center (noaa.gov)
The invest shown will likely die before it develops to get a name. It has dry, dusty air, cool surface waters, and wind shear at higher altitudes ahead of it. So far only three storms named in the Atlantic even though NOAA is naming storms that would never have been named 10 years ago.
Bu if it survives with enough strength to reach the Caribbean then it will bear watching.
I have posted the link to Dr. Ryan Maue’s ACE (Accumulated Cyclone Energy) index several times.
Global Tropical Cyclone Activity | Ryan Maue (climatlas.com)
Here is another ACE index from Colorado State University (CSU)
Real-Time Global Tropical Cyclone Activity (colostate.edu)
The late Dr. Bill Gray was professor emeritus of Atmospheric Science at CSU. He is recognized as the father of modern tropical storm forecasting. Dr. Gray was cut off from federal research grants after he refused to back Al Gore’s climate alarmist drive.
Bill believed that human activity contributed little to warming and said so and by standing by his principles suffered the consequences.
You see me posting articles for Tony Heller’s blog.
Real Climate Science | “Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts.” — Richard Feynman
Tony and Bill were close friends and Tony promised Bill he would keep up the fight to expose the fraud that the “climate change” agenda is built upon.
And Dr Judith Curry. “Climate change” devotees are cult worshipers, rabid ideologues, and power hungry monstrosities.
I remember when Mark Steyn and Dr Curry testified to an ignorant and corrupt committee. The pair of them made mincemeat of the fools they were speaking to.
Judith called him out on a lie during that hearing. Just blasted the liar.
Thank you, rah, for this link. Very much appreciated. The cultists persecuted her in the most obscene way they could. Mark is one of her biggest fans, a good friend.
Mods I have a post about current tropical storm activity and the relationship between Dr. Bill Gray and Tony Heller “awaiting approval”. Probably because I put three links in it.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

Good morning krypton and all treepers!!!
A little music while viewing?
😎
Oddly enough, we will have advance notice when a star as close as Betelgeuse goes Supernova. SN1987A had neutrinos arrive 2 hrs before the light. It takes time for the light to get through all the material. Neutrinos just zip right through.
And I read somewhere that Betelgeuse is much larger, so they expect maybe 20 hours notice. Every neutrino detector in the world will light up.
They think that the star in SN1987A had already blown off its outer layer. We have seen Betelgeuse blow off a little material in 2019.
Of course, we don’t know if star evolution requires all that material be blown off before going supernova. But we do know that neutrinos will go through it without any problem.
Live? Or a hoax?
Countdown repeats every 30 minutes.
Streaming for months. Started Apr 6.
Have you ever seen one of those pictures that shows stars circling near the poles? The earth rotates. Night and day. Constellations near the equator can’t be seen all day long.
To give an idea of the size of Betelgeuse. If it were the sun of our solar system every planet out to Jupiter would be within it.
After Betelgeuse goes supernova Orion will be missing a shoulder. Thankfully we are far enough from that red giant that we here on earth will get a nice light show but not suffer due to the shockwave or radiation.
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.

Mornin’ comrade banana republic infidels.
WeeWeed is it so much what they thought he had? Or what they thought he had on them. It seems to me it might be the latter. There was the stench of panic in this Stalinist raid.
That they pawed through and therefore dirtied Mrs Trump’s most intimate apparel and clothing I found turned my stomach. You can just imagine their filthy conversation. Monsters all.
…and it is the latter, per Gateway Pundit. Apparently a “confidential human source” told the FBI that Mr Trump had documents related to Spygate, and more disturbing, where in Mar a Lago where to find them.
An enemy plant amongst those allowed personal access to the Trumps there? It certainly sounds as if this might be the case.
War crimes come in many forms.
Did you know that over half of the Japanese soldiers that died during WW II succumbed to starvation or disease and not enemy fire.
That on average American POWs that survived their incarceration by the Japanese lived a decade less than those that were held by the Germans.
That American doctors studying psychological injuries initially concluded towards the end of the war that German soldiers suffered far less than Allied soldiers because they had been toughened up by Nazi indoctrination before the war until it was found out that what really happened was that few German severe psychotic casualties actually survived to become prisoners, having been executed by their own side or allowed to act in a manner where they were sure to be killed by the enemy.
Luckily, this is in the UK, not the US. But it could be on the way here. This is what you get when you mainstream non-Western savage cultures in a Western country. The savage culture ruins your civilization.
By the way, in America 60% of African American births are illegitimate. We already have a savage, non-Western culture built in to America. But instead of FINALLY assimilating Black Americans into American Western culture, we have been trying our darnedest to mainstream an African American culure that is incompatible with Western values.
It doesn’t “take a village.” It takes a mother and a father, married, both living in the same household. And after that, the only, the ONLY reason, a child fails is because for whatever reason he did not work hard enough. It has nothing to do with skin color, and hasn’t for a half a century. We have had half a century of “reparations,” Black privilege, in the form of preferential college admissions, trade union admittance, hiring, promotion, contract award, contract set-asides, and so on.
It is long past time to examine African American Culture and call out the culture of ignorance, promiscuity, illegetimacy, zero impulse control, and failure as the primary impediment to success, rather than to continue trying to mainstream it.

Black restaurant owner blames “savages” for the city closing his reataurant. The restaurant owner gets it:
“You got regular Black people who come to Dinner and a Movie. They’re like normal people. Then you get those other motherf*ckers. They’re savages,” he said “All it takes is one or two and it’s like, damn! Sh*t happened. ”
https://cwbchicago.com/2022/07/businessman-blames-the-behavior-of-savages-as-city-revokes-his-lincoln-park-restaurants-licenses.html
Feral behaviour, much of it as you so accurately state as the result of destroying the role of a stable family with a father permanently in situ, has been encouraged by those who in normal times (remember those?) would have hauled them to the local jail, charged them, prosecuted them, and convicted them.
Our once civil society and all its mores have been set fire to. We are all paying the terrible price for it.
I hope this goes viral.
So glad you posted this which I saw this morning.
And so glad to see you comment here, RipleysMom, as you do on MOTUS. I offer my prayers that she will be returned to good health once more by the Great Healer, Who without doubt holds her and her family in the palm of His hand.🙏
By the way, Gerard Vanderleun on his site American Digest, has posted about her travails. He is a devoted friend of hers, as you may know.
Excerpt from: For Whom the Globalist Bell Tolls: The Fed’s Management of the Economic Transition to the American Gig Labor Market. August 10, 2022.
Laurie Thomas Vass, The CLP News Network http://www.clpnewsnetwork.com
Read the full free article at CLP News Network.
“None of this is being done accidentally. All of this is being done with forethought and implicit intention.” Sundance, The Last Refuge, July 21, 2022.
In one of his recent columns on the New World Order, Sundance asks what the Biden administration officials mean by their phrase, “managing the transition.”
Sundance explains that what they mean is the Green New Deal transition from a fossil fuels energy infrastructure to a climate change agenda, which is being managed by the central bankers in the West.
“The central bankers are trying to support western government policy. Unfortunately, the government policy they are under obligation to support is the fundamental energy shift, or what the World Economic Forum (Davos Group) has called the “Build Back Better” climate change agenda.”
We extend and supplement the analysis of Sundance by explaining that the economic transition being engineered by the Fed for middle and working class citizens can be understood by looking at the divergence in data on the labor market between the establishment survey and the household survey.
We place the economic transition in the American labor markets into the much bigger framework of the New World Order, which consists of a institutional network of very powerful banks, and very wealthy people who will benefit by the transition.
As Sundance correctly points out, none of the transition is happenstance. The transition is a deliberate, well-thought out, well financed plan to convert the world economy into something that looks like the monarchies of the 15th century, with royalty at the top, and serfs on the bottom.
All the political and economic events, since 2016, are connected to the New World Order agenda, when Trump unexpectedly upset the globalist agenda.
The Russia hoax, the George Floyd riots, the Covid biochemical attack, the economic lockdown, the death vax, the Fed’s manipulation of the money supply, the 2020 stolen election, the LGBT agenda in public schools, ending with the FBI assault on Trump’s home in Florida, are all part and parcel of the New World Order strategy.
The Fed’s role in this strategy is to create the conditions of a boom-bubble economic collapse every ten years, which benefits the wealthy classes in America, and most recently, since 2008, the Ruling Class, around the world.
