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 †

Mornin’ Bet, G, (and jay again) . . . 🙂
Good morning and blessings, Bet! 😍
Hurry home!!!!🙏💖
Jay,,, Thank you, thank you… thank you. The blues (in my opinion) are the most expressive form of music. Your ears hear it, your mind processes it and your heart feels it
I’m a hillbilly so Bluegrass is my greatest passion, I could use your comments for me also 😎🇺🇸🇺🇸
Jay, I hold no copyright on any of my words. Feel free to use them whenever you want. Thanks again for the music
Interesting interview with State Rep Anthony Sabatini of Florida on exercising states rights as defined by the 10th Amendment to reign in the rogue FBI and DOJ. He has proposed legislation to do just that.
https://rumble.com/v1fj2uz-florida-lawmaker-sabatini-arrest-the-fbi-on-sight.html
Please help me understand why the 10th amendment needs to be invoked. Some people say that because of the Supremacy Clause, there was no way for the state of Florida or local sheriffs to intervene to stop the serving of a federal warrant.
That all seems to miss the point! The reason, the clear reason, a governor or a sheriff could and should stop the serving of a federal warrant is because of its complete and obvious LAWLESSNESS. The blatant lawlessness is the sufficient basis of action for state and local government.
The federal agencies are rogue. The Supremacy Clause can’t be a license for lawlessness.
Why is the 10th Amendment needed here? Shouldn’t it be a return to the rule of law?
It’s like the Convention of States, or Constitutional Convention argument. We don’t need to change the constitution because we don’t see it being enforced, as if more laws will convert the lawless? Really?
No, we only need to enforce the laws, and constitution, already on the books.
Who is the sheriff of that county in FL? They have the power to say NO WAY to federal officials harassing a resident of their county.
I just found out the sheriff of Palm Beach County is Ric Bradshaw – a Democrat. Go figure.
Let’s go to Brazil . . .

People who rescue animals (a dog in this case) are blessed in so many ways. Happy Cursday, Treepers! 🙂
Several posters have spoken of recent dreams, premonitions, or other odd incidents which have stirred them. It’s hard to read those accounts in an online post from a stranger, and take them seriously. But when you have one of those moments, yourself, it’s unsettling.
I had one such moment last afternoon. The details don’t matter, but the point was clear. It took a while to figure out the message.
My revelation started with a broken item. A precious little delicate item (related to my father’s WW2 service), which shouldn’t have been broken. It had been moved many times, even cross-country, without damage. After a short cross-town move, with careful packing…it was irreparably damaged. I was shocked and devastated, as every other delicate thing in that carefully packed box was perfect.
There is no way to put it back together, the way it was. I will save the larger, stronger pieces – but the tiny fragments had to go. There is no way to repair or save those little broken bits.
Tomorrow I’ll move on, having lost something precious. But the bigger parts of it, I shall keep. And I can always see it as whole.
Peoria, I can feel your heartbreak…and even that isn’t a strong enough word. And I hope you’ll forgive me for saying that I believe the one thing that would be of any comfort would be that physical items may crumble, but your memories are indestructible and permanent. Nothing can destroy those.
(I can’t help but think of your incident as a metaphor for our country in many ways.)
Betsy, that is exactly what I was thinking! In fact, I told a friend that it felt like a metaphor for what is happening to our nation. I almost posted this on the Presidential Thread, but wasn’t sure people would get it.
The USA has taken many hits, and always seemed to have come away stronger than ever. But maybe there were little cracks under the surface we just didn’t see. Now, some major changes have revealed a complete crumbling away of pieces that can never be put back together the way they were.
We can hold onto the bigger pieces and never forget what it was, but we must let go of the broken bits in order to move forward to the bigger task at hand. Our nation will never be the same. But we will never forget.
Yes…oh yes, OH YES!!! Amen. That’s what jumped out at me straight away…and that it was a piece belonging to a man who represented the very best of America? You can see where I’m going with that I’m certain. A metaphor if there ever was one. Blessings to you, Peoria, and to the precious memory of your father.🙏
August 11 Oswald Chambers
This Experience Must Come
Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. And Elisha…saw him no more. —2 Kings 2:11-12
It is not wrong for you to depend on your “Elijah” for as long as God gives him to you. But remember that the time will come when he must leave and will no longer be your guide and your leader, because God does not intend for him to stay. Even the thought of that causes you to say, “I cannot continue without my ‘Elijah.’ ” Yet God says you must continue.
Alone at Your “Jordan” (2 Kings 2:14). The Jordan River represents the type of separation where you have no fellowship with anyone else, and where no one else can take your responsibility from you. You now have to put to the test what you learned when you were with your “Elijah.” You have been to the Jordan over and over again with Elijah, but now you are facing it alone. There is no use in saying that you cannot go— the experience is here, and you must go. If you truly want to know whether or not God is the God your faith believes Him to be, then go through your “Jordan” alone.
Alone at Your “Jericho” (2 Kings 2:15). Jericho represents the place where you have seen your “Elijah” do great things. Yet when you come alone to your “Jericho,” you have a strong reluctance to take the initiative and trust in God, wanting, instead, for someone else to take it for you. But if you remain true to what you learned while with your “Elijah,” you will receive a sign, as Elisha did, that God is with you.
Alone at Your “Bethel” (2 Kings 2:23). At your “Bethel” you will find yourself at your wits’ end but at the beginning of God’s wisdom. When you come to your wits’ end and feel inclined to panic— don’t! Stand true to God and He will bring out His truth in a way that will make your life an expression of worship. Put into practice what you learned while with your “Elijah”— use his mantle and pray (see 2 Kings 2:13-14). Make a determination to trust in God, and do not even look for Elijah anymore.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
No one could have had a more sensitive love in human relationship than Jesus; and yet He says there are times when love to father and mother must be hatred in comparison to our love for Him.
Cat, again I appreciate this post & needed to read those words more than you know.
When I’m feeling low I always seem to find the words of encouragement I need here which help put things back in their proper perspective.
Again my thanks to you and others for posting these messages of faith – they touch far more people then you may realize.
Good Morning WV, et al !!!!!
We all have these types of moments and need Oswald or other kind encouraging words, don’t we? Keep moving forward WV!! We’re never alone. 😉
Have a most blessed day everyone ❤️
Morning, Cat. This one is powerful, and I sense this one meant much to you.😘
Goodaye, Cat! ❤️
And Elisha kept going and there are twice as many recorded miracles in the BIBLE done by Elisha compared to Elijah.
Almost Heaven blue ridge mountains Shenandoah river West Virginia 😁
Prayers for you today may the blessed Lord Jesus comfort you 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you Jay! Blessings to you and yours too!
It’s always nice to feel like I’m among friends here. I may not post very often, but I lurk daily.
Again, thank you.
P.S. there was a beautiful sunrise on our mountains this morning 😊
We had a big Fatty of a moon and a nice cloudy sunrise in the NW this morning, please everyone here that needs to be prayed for don’t hesitate to ask, I spend quite a bit of time in prayer every day.

MORNING
That through death He might destroy him that had the power of death. Heb. 2:14
Our Saviour Jesus Christ … hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. II Tim. 1:10
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD shall wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. Isa. 25:8
When this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I Cor. 15:54-57
God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. II Tim. 1:7
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Psa. 23:4
EVENING
Where is the way where light dwelleth? Job 38:19
God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. I John 1:5
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. John 9:5
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. I John 1:6, 7
The Father … hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light, who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son; in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Col. 1:12-14
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. I Thess. 5:5
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matt. 5:14, 16

May 24, 2022 Dr. Robert Malone:
“There are virtually no deaths from this disease (Covid) in people who have vitamin D levels in their blood above 50 ng/mL [nanograms per milliliter],” Malone said on EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program. “There’s actually many studies out now, including double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trials.”
August 10, 2022 CBS Radio News Break
“There is no evidence that Vitamin D can prevent disease and may be harmful to women.”
Of course CBS would say this. That all the death and incapacitating effects and misery was not intended cannot be rationally denied any longer.
God eternally bless all those truly brave souls who spoke up from the beginning and kept speaking up louder and louder, even in the face of personally being destroyed. They have earned their angels’ wings.
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.
We all must put our armour on and secure it. We are in the front lines. We are in the army of God. 🙏

Truth, Beauty, and Goodness. An interesting article on classical music and today’s orchestras.

Thank you for this one trapper. As an aside what is bringing hawked as “classical” music these days to my ear is not…so much of it is simply discordant white noise.
Bach was right. There is no beauty in today’s compositions. None. It is eschewed for the hideousness of musical calisthenics.
I can’t thank you for this enough. My husband and I have this conversation every single day, as I turn down my Sirius XM Symphony channel volume down to zero when the next work of Philip Glass is offered up. A modern day example of what was said of Bruckner…. he wrote the same symphony nine times.
Beauty…I know it when I feel it. There is nothing in this world like it.
A post yesterday by krypton123 regarding a Betelgeuse supernova event – this may help bring some perspective on just how big BIG is. Is this does go full supernova, I wouldn’t like to be within lets say O a few hundred light years. Mind blowing just how puny we really are. Note: hard to see but on the lower pic our sun is just 1 single pixel – the planets are not visible on this scale.
