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 person (or in this case, cat) who is grumpy in the mornings and doesn’t like to wake up.

Drink up everybody!!
Mornin’ amigos! Got the gutter guys here installing new gutters.Woohoo…decaf works for me most of the time…it’s just psychosomatic anymore,Have a grand day my friends. 🙂
Good morning, Casco! And what a very pleasant surprise to see you on a Monday. The day is brighter already, my friend. Sounds as if your projects with the house are.moving towards a satisfying end. Blessings always.
🙂
Morning Casco.
🙂
Well, managed to drop off my car for an oil change and got to what I’m hoping to be the last vein appointment half an hour early. Hopefully that doesn’t mean that much longer wait. 😆
Oh hoorah!! You’ve reached the end, and I’m sure you are both relieved and thrilled. Next up bathing suit competition at the Mr America contest! Since you work out, I’m certain you will be crowned the WINNER!!😃
LOL! Don’t know about that but it was the last procedure, PTL! Have to come one more time just for a recheck appointment.
Hey G!!!! Did you run into dear Beto while you were getting your procedure done??
He was hospitalized at Methodist in San Antonio (where my first was born) for a “bacterial infection”. Don’t know if he’s still there or if that’s where you went. You could have stopped by and given him some home truths…
Monkey pox?
One dreads to think…ugh
Mornin’ Cat, Bet, Gramps! Have a great day . . . 🙂
We all got stuck in the cat aisle! You as well, my friend.🙏💕

Hiya, Jay. Have a great day!

Baroque lutes are rather large instruments when compared to earlier Renaissance designs. These are the instruments Bach, Weiss and others had in mind when he wrote his famous lutes suites. The Baroque lutes were designed to have enhanced sound aided by extra bass strings. As mentioned they were large instruments with a much bigger sound. Tuning all those extra strings was reportedly a real challenge.
This lute suite, especially the Prelude, is a popular pieces for guitar players. It sounds really good when played on concert guitars but, hearing on a period-correct style instrument, lets us here what Bach and his contemporaries had in mind when he wrote the music.
Evangelina’s playing is spectacular. The famous Prelude is immediately familiar. However, the less well known Loure (#2) is especially lyrical.
Good morning, Garrison. Bach on a Monday, and, as you say, so serenely and beautifully played. Perfect!🤗
Mornin’ (again!!) Bet. I just discovered her and, yes, she’s a superb player, especially on an instrument that’s a lot more demanding than a comparable guitar to play. But, then, what a sound . . . 🙂
Yes it was…what do you make of Christine Pluhar in this link? Plus I am linking to one of my favourite performances with her group L’Arpeggiata. I hope you enjoy the latter especially, because the second is 32 minutes of pure joy, with pieces in which the word you I produced me to “duende” makes an appearance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljosKL2U9yo
Hope this work…fingers crossed.
(Tried to link to Christine on lute but unfortunately it wouldn’t load…now I have the sadz)
Phooey….neither would load from my Kindle. Can’t say I didn’t try.😫
Found this by her. You might like it.
Like???? I LOVE!!!!! Thank you! She clearly enjoys her group and has a ready laugh and a smile. She is amazing, proficient on many stringed instruments, including the harp.
I can bring up the YouTube posts on my Kindle but for some reason when I put the link here, they come up as “not available”. Have no clue as to why, but not being a techy, can’t figure out.
I loved this, Garrison, as I love all her and L’Arpeggiata’s performances. You sir are a great and thoughtful gentleman.😘
Wow. You can see they all enjoyed performing it as much as it was enjoyable to see and hear.
Yep. 🙂
GB, please look her up along with her group. They are just marvelous. All their videos of their performances, and some with others really are mood lifters.
Will do.

Berlin – Take My Breathe Away theme from Top Gun with Lyrics
and a throwback (to last night)
38 Special – Back To Paradise (OST Revenge Of The Nerds II 1987)
Berlin is still touring, so I found out last Wednesday, karaoke customer told me that she has tickets.
Not that they were ever high on my list other than the top gun tunes.
I think she tried to do a Berlin tune once, at least she “knows her limitations”.
She can nail Me and Bobby Mcgee tho, and Concrete Blonde Joey even tho she doesn’t share my view in requesting her to do it..
I just read this comment added to the Steve Kirsh’s Substack article. It sent chills through my spine. So many people, dead because they trusted the “experts.”

Dear God! This is an extinction-level event, and very few realize this!
It appears to me to be an intentional Thalidomide type program, which is what I thought at the beginning of wuflu.
Did anyone mandate that lawyers get the jab?

For those of you that never heard of Thalidomide, here is a link.

I remember that and the things it did to babies.
Horrible…just horrible.
Here is one such man affected by his mother’s having taken this drug in her pregnancy, who God recompensed in His mercy.

Unavailable error.
I know… Drat…sorry, because he is really good.
My mom’s first cousin was one of these babies; we also had a friend in school who’s brother was also one of these babies, think he was one of the last ones born before the doctors realized their part in this horror.
My children are the same way. Will not hear anything against the vaxx. My husband and I are not vaxxed!!! My granddaughter is a lot like me and she would not get vaxxed.

Sublime Intimacy
Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? — John 11:40
Every time you venture out in the life of faith, you will find something in your commonsense circumstances that flatly contradicts your faith. Common sense is not faith, and faith is not common sense; they stand in the relation of the natural and the spiritual. Can you trust Jesus Christ where your common sense cannot trust Him? Can you venture heroically on Jesus Christ’s statements when the facts of your commonsense life shout “It’s a lie”? On the mount it is easy to say — “Oh, yes, I believe God can do it”; but you have to come down into the demon-possessed valley and meet with facts that laugh ironically at the whole of your mount-of-transfiguration belief. Every time my programme of belief is clear to my own mind, I come across something that contradicts it. Let me say I believe God will supply all my need, and then let me run dry, with no outlook, and see whether I will go through the trial of faith, or whether I will sink back to something lower.
Faith must be tested, because it can be turned into a personal possession only through conflict. What is your faith up against just now? The test will either prove that your faith is right, or it will kill it. “Blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me.” The final thing is confidence in Jesus. Believe steadfastly on Him and all you come up against will develop your faith. There is continual testing in the life of faith, and the last great test is death. May God keep us in fighting trim! Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dreams that He will not stand by us.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
There is no allowance whatever in the New Testament for the man who says he is saved by grace but who does not produce the graceful goods. Jesus Christ by His Redemption can make our actual life in keeping with our religious profession.

RUSH is now playing once again. At this occasion, with Matt Stone (South Park) and the balance of the entire crew onstage at the well-renowned Red Rocks.
Matt was told, at one moment, to play his best move on the drums. But, he just smiled and stayed simple knowing much better than to make any attempt.
RIP Neil, we always knew it would take 2 drummers to cover your absence.
Fitting song for our times, ” And the men who hold high places, should be the ones who start”
They don’t seem to be interested in starting anything. (trouble perhaps)

Added thx
As I watch the Gene Wilder……the 10th or so time….
Movie may end up on a loop for the next week or so.
Wow…I did not know that…what a shame re. Barry Cowsill. They were a favorite group of mine as I was, as my dad (RIP Daddy) called it, “an emerging teeny bopper”.
Cowsills? You cannot mention Cowsills without playing one of my then-favorites of theirs…from way way way back in 1967…
I don’t remember what my first choice was, privatized on me so a quick replacement was inserted, Cowsills were a bit before my time too so I don’t exactly have a favorite, for cases such as this, I listen to the top view count results from utube and then select the one I like best.
This was one was the first one that didn’t have someones logo emblazoned on the lower 1/3 of the screen. SMH
The Cowsills were a singing group whose songs sometimes resembled another popular upbeat group of the same area – the 5th Dimension (“Up Up and Away”). The 60’s was my coming of age decade…..

Ecclesiastes 3:19 — “For that which befalleth the
sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth
them. As the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have
all one breath, so that a man hath no preeminence above
a beast; for all is vanity.
And I would assume, the “beasts” in question do not offer their consent, it is nothing other than a violation of God – a rape.
Deeper and deeper into depravity,Cat. An inch was given…this is the natural progression having done so.
James 4:8 “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded.”
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.

“By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command.” By the breath of God. However there is more than just faith to testify to this. In Hebrew the first letter of the (Aleph-Bet) (Bet being the second) is the letter “Aleph” (also spelt Alef). What is significant is the sound of the first “Ah” – the implication being the seemingly simple and effortless, yet almost silent “ah” is/was enough for the beginning of creation. Now what is also significant is when written, the Hebrew letter (alef) is written by beginning with a single “dot” and then “expanding” to form the rest of the shape of the letter. The letter is also the numerical value of 1.
The ancient forms of the letters hold significant more information that mere “shapes” and squiggles”.
FOR THOSE INTERESTED
Post Office will issue Christmas stamps with the Virgin and Child on them.
Available apparently on SEPTEMBER 22.
I always by my postage stamps through usps.com. I can select “pretty” stamps that come out and especially the Christmas ones that still depict what the season is all about.
I am actually shocked they have issued a clearly religious stamp and one depicting what Christmas is all about, this being a godless government. It was an extremely hopeful announcement.
Wow betsy, that’s great! Last year they did not issue.
also, meant to tell you y’day that gateway had a new letter from Archbishop Vigano, in case you didnt see.
Archbishop Vigano has correctly named the apparently anti-Christian members of the Roman Catholic Church’s hierarchy – a Sanhedrin. Wow. That is dead-center bullseye accurate.
Thanks GB, I’ll have to do some research on that!
👍
Here is a start –

GB, he is God’s good servant and will never sidestep what is true or needs saying. He serves the Father faithfully, His emissary on earth.
Oh yes. I am a fan.
I do get a certain peace through reading him. And he in hiding and in danger. He has an almost holy light which seems to radiate from him. God’s appointed messenger I feel. One of the most beatific faces on any clergyman I’ve ever seen.
Oh thank you, Slowcobra!! I DID see it and as I was coming over to post the link I was distracted. Thank you so much. I’m sure it will be on Lifesite as well. They are very good about posting whatever he writes. Bless you🙏

FBI evidence tampering?
*******
DISTURBING FIND Twist in NXIVM cult case as ex-FBI agent claims child abuse evidence was planted to guarantee Keith Raniere’s conviction
Excerpt:
In the 42-page court filing, Kiper says he “discovered specific actions were taken to manually alter the evidence” in order to support the government’s version of events against Raniere.
— snip–
“If we don’t have due process for people that we don’t like, then we don’t have a system of justice…
“People will lose their trust in the FBI.”
Kiper worked as a forensic computer examiner, investigator and trainer at the FBI in a career spanning 20 years says he is shocked that his fellow officers may have been involved in such large-scale evidence tampering.

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
And prayers up for all political prisoners. Prayers up for Julian Assange and for all the protesters of January 6 who were or are entrapped in DC. And, thank you, Lord, for restoring Pastor Pawlowski.
