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 †

Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Thanks Jay!
Sho nuff! 🙂
Good morning jay and Keln!
Good morning, G, Mr jay, and Keln. Blessings to all the guys on this cooler getting closer to autumn morning.🙏
Maidin Mhaith Betsy, already have some fall colors here in the NW 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
The most beautiful time of year where you are, Mr jay. I absolutely revel in seeing those stunning colours when they are all out😊
Good afternoon Bet! Saw just 1 post of yours yesterday. I’m waiting on a plumber to have some work done, nothing of emergency nature, just being extra prepared. Supposed to be here at 11 but still in route. Oh well, that allowed me to do some extra work. Fixed some stuff at my shooting range, the cows like to use the target posts to scratch and do damage so it needs maintenance every now and then.
What do you know, before I posted this he arrived so had to get him going on the job. 🙂
I hope he’s as good as ours, who we found through our daughter nearest. He’s the nicest and most wonderful plumber I’ve ever known. This is how good he is.
Some idiot delivery truck driver (young because of course he was) instead of driving around our block to get to the street he needed to be on, backed up…over the curb, over the lawn (3 times as observed by our neighbour), over our water register, fractured the water line and drove off. It was 7 at night…gallons of water shooting out leaving us without water. Our neighbour alerted us. We phoned Nick, and after a hugely busy day which he always has, he came out, dug up the lawn to locate the line, and repaired it…leaving the lawn looking as it did before the damage. I must add he did it in the by this time complete dark. Without him, I dread to think.
He calls me Miss Betsy, A real southern gentleman. We love him. I’d trust no one else.So I do hope you’ve got a “Nick” doing your work!😉
He is and he is very reasonable. Before I retired my former business needed a new water heater. the corporation that bought it was ready to shell out $1,000 easy. He put a new one for $500.
Oh yes an absolute keeper😁!!!!!

Good stuff as always Garrison. Gonna enjoy listening to all this tonight. Especially the Beethoven.
Edit…lol thought the stray cats stuff and Beethoven were both you. I’m listening to it all. Thanks!
No stray cats . . . yet.
Howdy Garrison 🙂
Hi’ya, Jay. Headin’off to bed now . . .
Morning Garrison, praying for you.
Mornin’ Gramps. Just working on keepin’ it together . . . so far. Thank you. 🙂
Good morning, Garrison. The first conductor that I can ever remember being aware of was Lenny Bernstein so many decades ago. He was a force. I think my favourite performances of his conducting were the Mahler symphonies. It seemed he was trying to imbue what he felt with them into each member of the orchestra. Thank you for these powerful Beethoven works.
This music is timeless. And, thanks to the ‘Tube, we get to see all these iconic performances with these great conductors. This music are just so majestic. I didn’t hear Beethoven all the way through until I was 19-20 years old. And then I though what have I missed! 🙂
I know how you feel on that score. And my thoughts exactly when I come across such composers who are never played but who composed some stunning works. What have I been missing is the perfect question. Even works of well known composers that never get a hearing, I always think, how in this world have I not heard this??
It certainly is a journey, and I’m so grateful you keep posting what you do, perhaps introducing others to such glorious sounds. Blessings, my friend.🤗
Thank you Garrison. Enjoyed these selections very much.
Crowded yesterday, found this one to be interesting for today.

Missionary Weapons (1)
When you were under the fig tree, I saw you. —John 1:48
Worshiping in Everyday Occasions. We presume that we would be ready for battle if confronted with a great crisis, but it is not the crisis that builds something within us— it simply reveals what we are made of already. Do you find yourself saying, “If God calls me to battle, of course I will rise to the occasion”? Yet you won’t rise to the occasion unless you have done so on God’s training ground. If you are not doing the task that is closest to you now, which God has engineered into your life, when the crisis comes, instead of being fit for battle, you will be revealed as being unfit. Crises always reveal a person’s true character.
A private relationship of worshiping God is the greatest essential element of spiritual fitness. The time will come, as Nathanael experienced in this passage, that a private “fig-tree” life will no longer be possible. Everything will be out in the open, and you will find yourself to be of no value there if you have not been worshiping in everyday occasions in your own home. If your worship is right in your private relationship with God, then when He sets you free, you will be ready. It is in the unseen life, which only God saw, that you have become perfectly fit. And when the strain of the crisis comes, you can be relied upon by God.
Are you saying, “But I can’t be expected to live a sanctified life in my present circumstances; I have no time for prayer or Bible study right now; besides, my opportunity for battle hasn’t come yet, but when it does, of course I will be ready”? No, you will not. If you have not been worshiping in everyday occasions, when you get involved in God’s work, you will not only be useless yourself but also a hindrance to those around you.
God’s training ground, where the missionary weapons are found, is the hidden, personal, worshiping life of the saint.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The attitude of a Christian towards the providential order in which he is placed is to recognize that God is behind it for purposes of His own.

MORNING
I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them. Jer. 32:9
A new heart … will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you. Ezek. 36:26
Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will he teach sinners in the way. The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. Psa. 25:8-10
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. John 17:21
I … beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness…. endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Eph. 4:1-6
EVENING
They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. (Or, change strength.) Isa. 40:31
When I am weak, then am I strong. II Cor. 12:10
My God shall be my strength. Isa. 49:5
He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. II Cor. 12:9
Let him take hold of my strength. Isa. 27:5
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee. Psa. 55:22
The arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob. Gen. 49:24
I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Gen. 32:26
Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. I Sam. 17:45
Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. Psa. 35:1, 2

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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Hoo boy, here we go. It’ll be a fight.
What’s a good place to get Ivermectin online? Thank you.
There’s a website called Ivermectin.com. I’ve visited it and it’s a bit pricey, but they have the real thing.
Sunrise Enterprise in India….(takes about 30 days)
1-916-269-8485
Global pharmacy, India.
Their products are not ‘counterfeit’ or inferior meds, and they will not “rip off” your credit card #.
I have dealt with them for over 10 years, and always had great service.
I’m still following all that is going on in Britain on YouTube SkyNews (for those who would like perhaps to look in) on the Queen’s passing.
It is historical and fascinating, with all the requirements for the transfer of power to him as the new King, and all the pomp and ceremony. All being done with absolute precision.
But I am so pleased and relieved that as Charles is speaking during the Accession ceremonies that he referred to hos duties as Defender of the Faith, the Christian faith, and also asked for the guidance of Almighty God.
At one point in his younger years, he suggested he should promise to be the Defender of All Faiths. Thankfully he grew older and wiser. Britain will remain under his reign a Christian Nation.
I’m learning so much watching the coverage of this week of sorrow in Britain. So many interviews with people simply turning up to lay flowers or to sign books of condolences, such as the one I just watched in a cathedral. Two ladies of a certain age just sitting in one of the beautiful pews, reflecting.
The woman chatting with them on SkyNews just informed those watching that after the Queen’s funeral, all the flowers laid will be composted. A tree will be planted in her honour and that compost will be added.
A simple thing, but redolent with meaning.
I wanted to follow the story today, but didn’t know where to do so until I read your post.
THANK YOU
You are welcome, Kitty-Kat. An amazing look at the traditions that are kept in place in our ever changing world which wishes to discard them. And for a moment the world shifting under our feet stays still.
“British reserve” is a little less right now. The obvious mutual kindness from the royal family and the easy familiarity from the surrounding crowds is genuine and touching.
It is, Garrison. The institution of the monarchy is a very binding glue. However things change and radically so (and not in a good way), this anchors a country which daily continues to decline. And I am sorry about those circumstances, because as you know I am a huge Anglophile.
Whatever Charles was or advocated for, I will say from listening to him these past two days, he recognizes with this role, he will no longer be able to be an activist for anything, which is good. I expect to be very surprised by him.
My British husband just said he wished with all his heart he could be there now…and I wish it for myself as well, in the country which welcomed this American with grace and friendliness, and a country which absolutely captured my heart.
What Britain does best, she is doing now in remembrance of their much loved Queen. It is an historical moment. We are so grateful to be able to watch it all as it happens
I found out that a lot of the cured wood I’ll be getting has already been split but a lot of it is longer than the maximum 18″ length I need for my insert. So wnt out today and bought a 14″ electric chain saw. I have a 20″ Poulan gas powered one but this lighter and less maintenance intensive electric will be perfect for cutting the split wood and smaller logs down to the proper length.
Too hot today to do much outside though.
My bride bought last year an electric weed eater and a chain saw EGo brand. I find using them more and more myself. have a 20 inch gas powered Husqvarna chainsaw but for most jobs the electric one does just fine. Still needs the bar chain oil.
As the sun got lower it cooled a bit and I did get something done. Two strips of roll out roofing nailed down. The roof of the lean-to is now completely done with flashing and the floor covered in crushed limestone. After moving a raking out that limestone that was enough for me.
Next project, racks to hold the wood. Then time to start moving and cutting wood and laying it in. One side three layers stacks deep x 6′ high x 7’long of cured wood. The other side the same of uncured wood that will cure for next winter. All hardwood. Good curing to get the moisture content down below 20% is the key to easy start, and clean and efficient burning leaving minimal ash.
Porterhouses off the grill and toss salad for dinner today. Perfect! Now I could go to sleep if I let myself.
a man’s day’s work and a man’s meal
rest proud, rah
Can’t yet. Have a night op planned. See below.
After all that work those porterhouses tasted really good, I bet. My bride and I had a couple of small New York strips and split a very small third one.
The Porterhouses were big and neither of us finished ours. Plenty for steak salads for tomorrow. PB&J was there and got her few little bites as did Geisha the Cocker.
I depart at 04:00 Monday for a 4 stop milk run, first stop in Ligonier, IN, then two stops in southern Michigan, and then back to Ligonier, and then back to Anderson.
Yellow jackets have taken up residence under the aluminum siding of my garage. Their entrance is a crack in a joint of an old wood window frame on the garage. That window overlooks my deck and Sherry is allergic to their sting and so I have a night attack planned. Black Flag in the entrance followed by an insecticide foam that will seal the crack.
I have given myself my patrol order, have my weapons ready, and will soon be starting movement to contact.

Wonder how are Mungrel and Leenie doing?
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.
Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
Amen.
Well, I did it again. I just forgot the time. I want you to know I have ordered a small loud alarm clock and it will be here soon. Surely that will help me remember the time.
Your replies are bringing joy to my heart and a smile to my face!
Amen. And extra prayers for Colton McAbee and his family, and for all the other political prisoners being punished in DC in an excusable manner by sadistic political extremists. Lord watch over them and please set them free
“In an INEXCUSABLE manner”
Amen
Amen.
Amen 🙏
