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 †

Made some tonite! Mmmmmm Mmmmm good!
My dinner last night was Dinty Moore chicken & Dumplings and saltine crackers. Dinner Monday was a 12” “Monster” sun from Subway on wheat.
Today if I come by a truck stop with a chicken joint I’ll pull in and get some when I fill my thermos with coffee.
I just got off the night shift about 50 minutes ago. It’s 7:21 am. Had a craving for Sonic breakfast burritos, fries, and a large chocolate shake. Mild hot sauce on the burritos.
They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
My old boss took me out for lunch yesterday and she had a bacon, lettuce, tomato with smoked salmon sandwich. She gave me half of it for take-home; so that’s what I had for breakfast this morning.
It was the best salmon I have ever eaten. She would know where to find good salmon as she is local Native American. It was the best salmon I have ever eaten.
That was very nice of your former boss. Smoked salmon is excellent anytime.
GARFIELD!!!!
Putative to port ate it.
Feral Cat invited the neighbors to a party?

Good mornin, Pa❣️

Sam Cooke
Have you read Sam Cooke’s life story. The Life and Times of Sam Cooke. It’s an American tragedy.
Sorry. This is a much better copy, but I can’t remove the above one, unfortunately.
Oh boy that’s some good stuff. I miss that old thing they used to do with a simple 3-piece band and a bit of piano then suddenly violins in the background to class it up. Love it.
On of my favorites:
That one makes me want to dance. If I had muscles and bones that could do it still.
It’s so smooth, it’s so good and lovely. I have no idea how anyone hears this and isn’t happy. Good music babe.
Morning Ya’ll 🙂

Hey, Garrison !

The question I know we all are asking but afraid to is…does this Witchy Woman float? Can she be compared to gravy or pebbles? Does she weigh as much as a duck?

My brother struggled with his faith for about 20 years now. He “went his own way” as he put it. Recently, he’s come back to the fold. A new transformation, a new Christian. And I couldn’t be happier. I honestly didn’t know he had struggled that much with it, but I understand it from my own experience growing up in a good Christian home. You sing the hymns, you hear the preaching, you believe if you do “the things” it makes you a good person, and you move on. Yet I’ve also understood that sometimes the hardest people to get to, to make actually believe any of it, are those who grow up with it. I went through that myself many years ago, and my brother recently, finally, had his own true conversion. And he sent me this (which I highly recommend you watch):
This isn’t a “beautiful” message by any means. It isn’t one that will make you feel better, but it is very, very deep.
I could make all kinds of comments on it, but I really want to focus on one, and I want you all, please, to focus on that one aspect to draw from this.
We often trick ourselves into thinking we’re good, those guys are bad…etc. I mean that is like the basis of all of literature and movies and all of it. You have a good guy and a bad guy. And if you assign the good and the bad…like Hitler and Stalin are way over here and Billy Graham and your preacher are way over on the opposite side, and that’s our idea of good and bad…
Then you zoom out, and you see all of humanity in this tiny bubble way off to the side and you see God, the ultimate of good, seemingly light years away. And it makes you realize, our partitions of good and bad as humans, no matter how grotesque the crimes are of who we consider bad, are nothing compared to God. That we are separated so much that in comparison, we’re all the same. That we need Christ to bridge that tremendous gap.
But I don’t want anyone to focus on that, as important as that single message of the grace afforded us is, but instead to understand how meaningless and inconsequential it is to consider “others” as bad in the grand scheme of things. That those of us who walk that shortcut that Christ opened for us are going to share that road with theives and murderers and preachers and moms and lawyers and politicians all the same, with no accounting for some crime any of us did. It isn’t about that. There’s no “special place in Hell” for certain people. That just a human thing to think and to apply. That we are saved EXCLUSIVELY by grace and not by a single thing we do proves how silly that idea is.
It’s not permission to sin. Every time a Christian sins, we tell others we’re just some other religion and it’s crap. That’s the real sin for us. And why we need to keep our eyes focused on the Cross. But we also need to understand, together, that we cannot assign man’s definitions of Good vs Evil among people. Because in relation to God, we’re all really, really bad. Continue to fight Evil, it’s a mandate of sorts from our Lord…but do so understanding that the whole point is to convince as many people as possible that God loves us and wants us to come back to him and there is only that one way to bridge that gap. Keep being as close to righteous as you can, and push back on those who would use and hurt others…but keep in mind, even the bad guys are children of God whom he loves.
Edit: A ton of spelling and grammar errors, I’m sure there are plenty left I missed. Sorry.
Thank you, Keln. May I borrow this please?
Whatever you want to do with it brother. Go ahead. I’m sure my observations miss a lot of marks, but if you think this is helpful, use it of course.
I read this early this morning, gave it a thumbs up. I have been thinking about it all day. I am back now to say how much I appreciate your perspective. Thanks for sharing, and it is good to see you around here again Keln.
I appreciate the comment Ladybug. I wasn’t sure how people might react to this. Like I said in my post it’s not exactly a comforting message. But we live in this world where so many obsess about “who” is good or bad. Who we are supposed to “cancel”, when at the end of the day we’re all shipwrecked and drifting in the same lifeboat with only one Captain willing to take us home.
Hump day.
All cleaned up and drinking my coffee and eating a donut.
Getting cleaned up when living in a truck means: Baby wipes when and where needed. Brush hair. Electric razor. Deodorant, and Stetson after shave. Brush teeth using mouthwash to rinse mouth and tooth brush. Flossers come in handy. And having adequate cloths to change into as needed.
My son just started his career as a truck driver. Hoping he’s doing alright with it. I’ve often thought about doing it myself…I mean the money you people pull in is incredible and all the audiobooks I could listen to. At the same time as much as I travel, I’m not sure I’d really want to do it. You guys are a special breed, and frankly I don’t think you get enough credit for what you do for us. Thank you, and God speed that truck down the highway sir.
My first month on my own solo driving was the most stressful.
My first 13 months I was out in the road for 4 to 6 weeks at a time. By the end of the 10th month I had driven a big truck in every one of the lower 48.
That is not something I’d do again but by that time I had learned what I could do and not do with a rig.
Some have the aptitude and many don’t and no amount of training can change that.
No Amount of training at a driving school can possibly prepare a driver for the many different situations they’ll have to figure out either.
It is something one has to figure out for themselves.
About what you can do with a rig, or not, rah….
My first car (age 40, three kids… had lived in a city where driving wasn’t required) was a station wagon.
The family member who gave it to us second hand said that whenever he parked it, he still wasn’t sure where the end was.
LOL I had much the same experience. Was careful with it and did not have accidents, but when I imagine driving a tractor trailer, and having to back up? Wow. Yes you do have special aptitude to maneuver those rigs
😋 Stetson after shave;
-“mmm” … and exhale
BTW it is a National DOT hit week. Michigan DOT Pulled me in at a rest area on I-69 West in Michigan yesterday morning between Port Huron and Flint but waved me on through.
That is the advantage of driving for a company that has an excellent CSA score. They know their time will be better spent on some one else.
Anyone that routinely drives in Xichigan has my respect. What a load of haul that place is.
Mods got a post in the bin that is fine .
Mods are literally just AdRem and she loves everyone, so…
Might have to do with the name change? Rah to Raht.
I literally assumed they were 2 different people lol

August 24 Oswald Chambers
The Spiritual Index
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? — Matthew 7:9
The illustration of prayer that Our Lord uses here is that of a good child asking for a good thing. We talk about prayer as if God heard us irrespective of the fact of our relationship to Him (cf. Matthew 5:45). Never say it is not God’s will to give you what you ask, don’t sit down and faint, but find out the reason, turn up the index. Are you rightly related to your wife, to your husband, to your children, to your fellow-students — are you a “good child” there? “O Lord, I have been irritable and cross, but I do want spiritual blessing.” You cannot have it, you will have to do without until you come into the attitude of a good child.
We mistake defiance for devotion; arguing with God for abandonment. We will not look at the index. Have I been asking God to give me money for something I want when there is something I have not paid for? Have I been asking God for liberty while I am withholding it from someone who belongs to me? I have not forgiven someone his trespasses; I have not been kind to him; I have not been living as God’s child among my relatives and friends.
I am a child of God only by regeneration, and as a child of God I am good only as I walk in the light. Prayer with most of us is turned into pious platitude, it is a matter of emotion, mystical communion with God. Spiritually we are all good at producing fogs. If we turn up the index, we will see very clearly what is wrong — that friendship, that debt, that temper of mind. It is no use praying unless we are living as children of God. Then, Jesus says — “Everyone that asketh receiveth.”
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
“When the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?” We all have faith in good principles, in good management, in good common sense, but who amongst us has faith in Jesus Christ? Physical courage is grand, moral courage is grander, but the man who trusts Jesus Christ in the face of the terrific problems of life is worth a whole crowd of heroes.
https://utmost.org/classic/today/
“Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?”
Me. I’ve given that kid like 2 years of total sustenance. Finally has a job. Work and you get to eat. At some point love has it’s boundaries. Because I know if I just throwing bread or whatever at him, he’ll jsut get fat and lazy.
But of course, I get the point of the passage.
I also think “Fiddler on the Roof”, the old Hollywood adaptation of it, is the best way Christians ought to go. Prayer is a good thing. But keeping that ongoing talk with God…there really is no substitute for it. You already know what is right or wrong when you are including God in the conversation constantly. Well what I think of her…well ok Father, I know, I know, I shouldn’t think that. What about this thing I’m eating? More sugar? Nah, I wouldn’t, but you’re God, so what do I know?
That constant one-sided dialogue between Tevya and God is priceless. “Send us the cure, we’ve got the sickness already”.
Well you and I know the cure was already sent.
A constant, humbling experience to continually talk to God. And I really would insist my fellow Christians try it. It’s life changing. It really opens your eyes to how ridiculous you and me can be sometimes, and once in a while you get a tug…a pull towards the right thing. And later you figure it out and just praise God for that little…niggling.
We aren’t living with a dead God of old folklore. We’re in the presence of a living God that will move us if we let Him. Talk to him. It doesn’t have to be formal, just open you hearts and talk to Him. Share your experience, with all of the vulgarity that is life. He knows, He understands. And He loves you.
Excellent post Keln, so very happy you understand this wonderful gift. I am going to post a video that you and hopefully others here may find agreeable. This is from a Jewish Rabbi – where “Hitbodidut” (personal prayer) is a central part of his teaching.

Good morning Poyeema. I hope you are doing well today. Those are very good verses. Some we should all live our lives by every day.
Bible SPAM is hard to miss with all of the wisdom we get out of that book, but what is your absolute favorite verse?
Psalm 23:4: ” Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
Are you shadowing me tonight? Lol..
Well no matter, that is a good verse to hang your hat on.
No, the board is light with activity and it’s daytime here, just bored waiting for an interview tonight ( morning US time ) and a lizard hunt after that, just passing time …
I completely understand that brother. I’m often only able to get to my computer like really late at night and I keep poking my stick at people to wake up and enjoy or hate what I say. I mean either is fine. But when we get into the normal day I’m way too busy to be here.
The Scripture can and has been broken many times. That is why it is important to pray and talk to God. To keep it updated.
For all my Cub fans!
Oh my goodness, I was a Cubs fan all the way back in the days of Greg Maddux, Mark Grace and Ryne Sandburg.
I was in Indiana growing up, we only had WGN from Chicago on antenna so I got to watch all the Cubs and Bulls games.
I remeber watching Sandburg live. (see above) I could not believe what I saw. He was reading the signs and was moving in the right direction on every pitch before the batter would make contact knowing the more likely direction if the batter made contact. It was exactly that half step advantage that Gold Glove defenders have over the really good ones.
I know he won at least 7 Golden Glove awards, maybe more.
Grace was also a Gold Glove first baseman and Maddux was a Gold Glove pitcher. Can’t remember the short-stop at that time, but he wasn’t bad either.
A lot of good defense in the infield back in those days, not to mention offense. Grace was never a slugger, but could hit for average, lifetime over .300 ?, Sandberg was a slugger though, hit 100 RBI’s on a couple of occasions.
Those were the days…. !
Part of growing up for my boys was a one-time trip going to a Cubs game at Wrigley. It was a big deal as we live no where near Chicago. We would fly to Chicago, visit a museum, stay overnight on Michigan Avenue, overeat pizza, go to the afternoon game and fly home. The last time we did this, I bought the tickets in April for the very last home stand of the season. We went to the next to the last game of the year in Chicago. It was also the year of the Roidrun Home Run Battle between Sosa and McGuire. Wrigley was packed with fans. I had also bought tickets for my Chicago cousins and the four of us went to the game together. When we picked up the tickets at Will Call, my cousin said he might just sell his tickets as they were going for about $500 on the street. I told him he did not own any tickets. I looked at my son and asked him if he wanted to sell the tickets or go to the game. He said that we should go to the game. So we went to the game. I think Sosa was 0-4.
And another favorite…ah and that ol’ “Charm School in Joliet”
Good afternoon here in the land of smiles.
Rain just came through, means the what was 76% humidity will soon be 85 – 90%. Can’t wait for the cold season. This area of Thailand is where the United Sends its troops to train in jungle warfare, about 350 km from where I live.
Big lizard hunt on tonight, after I do a tech interview with a new client.
I capped that stupid thing last night, clean shot, richochet would not of hit neighbors house. The lizard was hanging by a claw, thought “Finally …”.
No, it reached it’s other claw up and got on the roof. I thought “wtf ….”.
I asked my wife if those things had skin made of Saudi passports ( she missed the 9/11 reference ) and she just said ‘huh ?’
If it comes onto the ground, she gets it with the hoe, if it’s on the side of the house, it gets a bullet.
We’ve got 4 so far 1 maybe 2 left to go. These things are the most annoying animals I have ever come across and they attract snakes, big snakes like king cobras, pythons and Malaysian pit vipers.
To kill a snake here is bad joo joo. So all you can do is eliminate that which they feed upon.
Yep, that’s my day. Nothing to worry about except big lizards. No property taxes, government intrusion, IRS, etc. Just big lizards.
Y’all have a good day …
One more jump into depravity and then I will stop…but ya gotta remember, other than the Rialto Theater/George Burns and the beloved Route 66, these boys put Joliet on the map!
!
Living a best life…you, me,….”them”
“And please remember people, that no matter who you are
And what you do to live, thrive and survive
There are still some things that make us all the same
You, me, them, everybody, everybody”
Interesting post over on TheEthicalSkeptic.com – Part 1 of 3 article proving the number of excess deaths (and parts 2 and 3 are on the way – to provide evidence of the cause.) Quoting – “we have lost 344,000 younger Americans to something besides Covid and non-natural death, during the period from 3 April 2021 to 6 August 2022.” That is 5,000 per week average and is currently over 7,000. “Younger” means people at least 15 years younger than the average Covid death.
For music tonight, I’m going to introduce my own.
Again. Pretty sure I did this before, I dunno.
For people like me, there is this unyielding NEED to constantly express myself. It’s foolish I know.
I swear I don’t think much more of myself than you do of, well, you. I just feel this weird need to constantly SHOUT in any way possible.
Hence the talking, the writing, the singing. Whatever means. It’s stupid I know, but I gotta do it. To satisfy whatever that need is within me. If you ever got to know me, I’m sort of a dope.
So here you go, my top 5 as far as Soundcloud people think (one is a Christmas song). These aren’t my personal favorites, but maybe other people know better than me. And yes, my name is Jason. Pretty cool name I think.
https://soundcloud.com/user-265970375/creep-by-jason (sorry about the tin can sound…I was in a sound studio but this was the best take even if the others sounded better. This one was pure emotion.
I grew up with this song. When I hear it I think of good, warm times with my family. I really had a fantastic childhood. The kind of childhood I wish everyone had. I know a lot of people didn’t, but I would share this little warmth and smell of pumpkins and my momma’s cooking with everyone if I could.
This is the absolute worst sound recording I ever made. This was with a tiny microphone way before I understood what recording is, but for some reason people like this one the best. I mean I love Johnny Cash as much as the next guy but this was…bad. But people like it, so whatever. We’re working off a list here.
CAKE…marxist idiots but man they made good music. I am proud of this one. I had to hold my nose to give that nasal quality of the lead singer. It’s kinda funny. You go through these things to make something people like. I should have just let myself fly with the song. But oh well.
Did this one with a very lovely woman. It’s a decent song I guess, but good at pulling emotions. I’d prefer to pull emotions with a heavier message, but whatever moves people is good. We’re up against a world trying to literally end us. Also the dobro in this is excellent. My harmony isn’t. It’s kinda bad actually. But I like her voice and people voted, so you know.
https://soundcloud.com/user-265970375/in-the-pines-by-jason
This one is my jam. If you ever wanted to know who Keln is…this is it. This is me. I play banjo and I sing about things that y’all don’t like or want to acknowledge. Like how exactly does one enjoy a Georgia peanut? In a can of Coke. What a stupid question.
Dunno why this one doesn’t show up but here is the link:

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.
I’ll present this one. I think, personally it is my best possible singing capability…but it’s bullshit English propaganda. Basically “don’t have a gun because you could possibly kill your girl because Lord knows you can’t tell the difference between a bird and a human”.
So with that said, I present to you Molly Ban
And if nay of you hate, boy I want to hear it because I hate it too.
Deep breathing; especially looong exhales helps -a lot.
The last word (almost always) seems to get cut-off ( is weak), so it loses the impact of what was/ sung/said.

Collapse of Empires (Bible prophecy)
Excerpt:
It has been a year now since the Saudis signed a military cooperation agreement with Russia.
This came in the wake of the fall of Afghanistan on August 15, 2021, exposing the weakness of America under the Biden regime.
Much has changed in the course of a year. Now the Saudis are looking to join the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa).
