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 †

Alex did not need to pile on Trump in the midst of the Florida home invasion. He is rather full of himself at times.

There is never ever a wrong time for this,my friend💕

I still have the Segovia LP of this music that I bought so many years ago. Listening to it I was enthralled by the exquisite playing, of course, but I was also very respectful of the sound engineering of his producer, Israel Horowitz. Using very high quality analog recording equipment, Horowitz, perfectly captures the quality of sound of Segovia’s 1A Jose Ramirez guitar.
Lots of aspiring guitar players, on hearing these wonderful sounds, decided to purchase their own 1A Ramirez . . . only to discover that the long 26.5in string length was a real challenge. Segovia’s secret was his large, very strong hands. After a concert I shook hands with Andres Segovia. I don’t have particularly small hand but, on shaking hands with the maestro, I quickly discovered that his hand completely covered my own.
The secret of Segovia’s wonderful sound? A very long string length guitar, huge, very strong hands combined with unmatched virtuosity. I was much happier settling for a concert guitar with a shorter sting length! 🙂
What an interesting comment you made about his hands. It’s something I’ve noticed about pianists as well. Only one example…I watched Horowitz’s fingers on the keys when he returned to Russia after a decades long absence and performed possibly the most magical, most intensely moving concert I’ve ever watched. His hands were old of course, and his fingers were short, not slender. But those fingers still produced the loveliest sounds in both the pieces which demanded power…and even more remarkably in those which needed that exquisite touch. He and Segovia simply had the gift.
Then you might appreciate this masterful piece with Tommy Emmanuel on acoustic, Pedro Gonzalez on Spanish Flamenco guitar, and John Jorgensen on electric bass playing their version of Sultans of Swing. Comments are interesting.

“Taken together, the conditions facing U.S. policymakers in Europe decisively prove countries such as France and Germany are more than capable of providing for their own defense and leading an independent and self-sufficient pan-European security bloc. The United States does not need to maintain a robust forward presence in the European theater to deter Russia or protect NATO allies. Indeed, greater intra-European security consolidation, cooperation, and coordination could fill any gaps that presently leave countries on the eastern flank unable to repel a Russian attack.

With the revelations known that “monkey pox” is a “more than casual contact” spreading “virus” according to news reports, has it become apparent that the sodomite can not be trusted with living flesh?
Definitely raises questions about how children are getting it.

2 years old?
New York state reports first known monkeypox case in a child (msn.com)
Are they using the PCR test? Recategorizing measles or chicken pox as MP?

August 22 Oswald Chambers
“I Indeed. . . But He”
I indeed baptize you with water…but He…will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. —Matthew 3:11
Have I ever come to the point in my life where I can say, “I indeed…but He…”? Until that moment comes, I will never know what the baptism of the Holy Spirit means. I indeed am at the end, and I cannot do anything more— but He begins right there— He does the things that no one else can ever do. Am I prepared for His coming? Jesus cannot come and do His work in me as long as there is anything blocking the way, whether it is something good or bad. When He comes to me, am I prepared for Him to drag every wrong thing I have ever done into the light? That is exactly where He comes. Wherever I know I am unclean is where He will put His feet and stand, and wherever I think I am clean is where He will remove His feet and walk away.
Repentance does not cause a sense of sin— it causes a sense of inexpressible unworthiness. When I repent, I realize that I am absolutely helpless, and I know that through and through I am not worthy even to carry His sandals. Have I repented like that, or do I have a lingering thought of possibly trying to defend my actions? The reason God cannot come into my life is that I am not at the point of complete repentance.
“He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” John is not speaking here of the baptism of the Holy Spirit as an experience, but as a work performed by Jesus Christ. “He will baptize you….” The only experience that those who are baptized with the Holy Spirit are ever conscious of is the experience of sensing their absolute unworthiness.
“I indeed” was this in the past, “but He” came and something miraculous happened. Get to the end of yourself where you can do nothing, but where He does everything.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The place for the comforter is not that of one who preaches, but of the comrade who says nothing, but prays to God about the matter. The biggest thing you can do for those who are suffering is not to talk platitudes, not to ask questions, but to get into contact with God, and the “greater works” will be done by prayer (see John 14:12–13).

Another David Gray song from several years ago… one that, ironically, many people pick to play at their wedding. The song has an amazingly beautiful melody, but if you listen carefully to the lyrics, it is about a soldier who is fatally wounded and talking to his girl back home, the one one he loves but will never see again. He talks about “leaking life faster than I’m leaking blood”… and then his memories of the days they had togehter.
Amen

MORNING
None of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. Rom. 14:7
Whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s. Rom. 14:8
Let no man seek his own: but every man another’s wealth. I Cor. 10:24
Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. I Cor. 6:20
Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better. Phil. 1:20-23
I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal. 2:19, 20
EVENING
God gave Solomon … largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. I Kings 4:29
Behold, a greater than Solomon is here. Matt. 12:42
The Prince of Peace. Isa. 9:6
Scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom. 5:7, 8
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Phil. 2:6-8
The love of Christ which passeth knowledge. Eph. 3:19
Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. I Cor. 1:24
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Col. 2:3
The unsearchable riches of Christ. Eph. 3:8
Of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. I Cor. 1:30

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.

Wondering whether anyone knows about Neogen Corporation – possible control by China, possible skullduggery in the “food safety” biz?
The “food safety” angle worries me a bit because of the looming food crisis sundance has so ably exposed.
Could a company in the biz of “food safety” suddenly decide that all animal protein is “unsafe” so that the WEF agenda of eating bugs would advance? Just brainstorming here…
If a Pennsylvania shim( levin) can take our freedoms and life away via board of health….this will be a cakewalk for them. IMO
FYI…

Happened to watch the movie musical “Hamilton” yesterday. It turns out America’s Founding Fathers, Washington, Madison, Jefferson, and so on, together with their wives, were all Black. And they were all rappers to boot. Who knew?
I have a new Facebook account. Look at ME on vacation. Look at the coffee I had this morning. Look at what I made for lunch today. Look at my sunburned toes. Look at this bird I saw on the fence. Look at my car. Look at my dog. Look at my golf clubs. Look at the fairway on the 4th hole where I played yesterday. Look at ME when I was young. Look at ME on vacaion two years ago. Three years ago. Four years ago. Five years ago. Look at my house. Look at my wife. Look at my friends. Look at ME looking at ME in the mirror. I’m bored. Now what?
Exactly. Spot on. Absolutely what we’ve become as a society, and exactly what evil-doers count on.
very sad.
