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 to you, Mr jay.🤗

Good morning jay!
Howdy GRAMPS 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
One more . . .
Such a talented young woman! Anyone who can cover Buddy Holley that well beautiful. 😉
Yeah. Natural talent. And Josh isn’t too bad either. I think they make a good pair. 🙂
Good morning, Garrison. Allison has a face, voice, and style that could so easily be right at home in the 40s or 50s with all the chanteuses of those times. Her performance of Autumn in New York was just lovely.😘
Mornin’ Bet. I like her too. She’d do great backed up by, say, Lyle Lovette’s “Large Band”.
What a treat that would be!
Good morning Bet and Garrison! May your Friday be blessed.
Morning, G! Look what I found!
“You don’t become cooler with age, but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to be actually cool. This is called ” The Geezer’s Paradox”.
I really like this. Now, if I can just get that through to all our young uns who try so hard to be like everyone else instead of their beautiful God given selves…..
They will get it with age too, Bet.😂😘
How true that is. Hopefully sooner rather than later😉💖
Hi’ya Gramps!
Good Morning Garrison. Thanks for posting these Turner & Young covers.
I could listen to this duo all morning…. and almost did. They have a nice selection of tunes on YouTube.
She has great pipes and is excellent in her expressive delivery. He really doesn’t need any other accompaniment with his skill and versatility on the fretboard….
🙂
Thank you for posting songs by Allison Young again. Great talent! Great choices……and like Mr. Jay said, the Buddy Holly tune was right-on! As usual, always enjoy your music selections.
🙂
I really enjoyed these selections. Thank you .

Good morning all.
Got in from the five stop run an hour early. Departed the yard at 03:45 and got back in at 16:00. One of those days when things went smoothly. I’m done for the week.
Relax and Enjoy , Rah 😊
You Certainly Earn Your Downtime ,, I’m Happy You are having a Break 🙂
I will, thank you. Today I got for my annual trip to the Urologist which gave me back my life a few years ago for exam and labs. Then I stop by my families business to pickup the new truck, lanyard, and clips for my 30′ flag pole. Then I can get back to working on minor items on the Honey Do list until I’m sure the grass is dry enough to mow.
Once the grass is mowed I may help Steve with his log cabin if he is working on it.
That’s a busy day off. 😁
I’ll reward myself. KFC for dinner tonight after I mow. Doc visit and picking up the parts for the flag pole done.
I go out again at 04:00 Monday. Skokie, IL route. Not like I haven’t done that before, eh?

September 16 Oswald Chambers
Praying to God in Secret
When you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place… —Matthew 6:6
The primary thought in the area of religion is— keep your eyes on God, not on people. Your motivation should not be the desire to be known as a praying person. Find an inner room in which to pray where no one even knows you are praying, shut the door, and talk to God in secret. Have no motivation other than to know your Father in heaven. It is impossible to carry on your life as a disciple without definite times of secret prayer.
“When you pray, do not use vain repetitions…” (Matthew 6:7). God does not hear us because we pray earnestly— He hears us solely on the basis of redemption. God is never impressed by our earnestness. Prayer is not simply getting things from God— that is only the most elementary kind of prayer. Prayer is coming into perfect fellowship and oneness with God. If the Son of God has been formed in us through regeneration (see Galatians 4:19), then He will continue to press on beyond our common sense and will change our attitude about the things for which we pray.
“Everyone who asks receives…” (Matthew 7:8). We pray religious nonsense without even involving our will, and then we say that God did not answer— but in reality we have never asked for anything. Jesus said, “…you will ask what you desire…” (John 15:7). Asking means that our will must be involved. Whenever Jesus talked about prayer, He spoke with wonderful childlike simplicity. Then we respond with our critical attitude, saying, “Yes, but even Jesus said that we must ask.” But remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
It is in the middle that human choices are made; the beginning and the end remain with God. The decrees of God are birth and death, and in between those limits man makes his own distress or joy.

Greetings Treepers!
Yes, even you GranpaM and Rah. Heehee
I have no idea why we come in for special mention?
I had a wonderful shout out last night from our Frank’s branch in the Tree. Loved it!! 😁 To know I was thought of was a real gift.
You ARE a gift, Betsy.
Morning, Frank🤗. Lovely to see your bright face this morning. Blessings, sir.
Gooood morning, goodaye everyone ❤️
And to you, Cat. I started to say above then my eye caught Frank’s good morning and was so excited to see him, I moved him up in the queue😉
Blessings to you, girl😘
Back at cha Betsy!!!
It’s wonderful to see frank back, isn’t it. 😉
Hi frank!! ❤️
Can’t find the words…🤗
Morning Cat! ❤️
💜
Hi Frank!
Goodaye Frank, Pop, LBT and the rest of you mob I met ” Back in the day” , seen you all had a few probs in different ways, good to see you all still in fight in you own ways standing up again after ‘setbacks’ , Mungrel is no different, in fact for the other side instead of just hating Mungrel now they hate my guts, Hahaha, stiff……., there’s a War to be won and as a few of you know being drafted in as child I never had a choice but to win !
Aussie Patriots now are working on ” Stealth” meaning that after the Fed election debacle we now have a ‘commie PM puppet just like pedojoe” put in power with just 33% of the vote , we now are waking up unprecedented numbers with stealth in the form of ” having a little chat” to those in the system that are required to follow ” orders ” , everybody know somebody principle, the commies cannot ever do what they done with the whole covidcon scam again, people here will not comply if they try that crap again, do not ever believe the news coming out from here 90% is pure rubbish designed to make your mob think we have fallen, NO we have not, divide and conquer does not work when populations hold in principle Christian values, this has now been proven here.
Many here await the ‘seppos,yanks, or Americans” to make a move, any thinking Aussie knows now about the ” coup” and are waiting bigtime for action on your side, we know you go down we do too.
Its a good thing that your mob are waking to the fact that that this war is a world war something that i continually push when possible, Good verses evil—–rhetoric and pre- formed assumptions aside the truth is the truth regardless of the pain involved in understanding .
Some know my take on theology in that it is a “private” matter, so i tend not to be a public or private ” God-botherer” except in the extreme .
You Frank gave me one jester that helped me avoid the pigs at a time I needed it most, for that I am eternally greatfull as are the the children you helped reunite with their father, now you know I know your ‘shades’ and why.
Hey pop, you know anyway, so not much to say other than you taught me well, how much drinking time do we have now ? The nipper sounds like he’s already a good young bloke !
The one and only LBT, aka Betsy, you know that I know your pommy way of saying , so I drop this with you.
Yes battered wings less fly for most, taunt and burnt swooping hell battered amour shaking swooping in taking all the devils hit’s catching a demon as I pass do I master the craft !
HOWS THIS, while typing ms idaho sent me an email WOW, she has better sight in her eye and can SEE much better now, great news for Mungrel as we talk private like, just asked her permission to type this news, YES was the answer , the op worked as best could now no blind, yipppyyyyy. Lucky !
Thanks to Feral, that bloody cat (slang) our romps became a true friendship that will last the rest of our lives, as already stated by her here, her now departed husband knew of all our posts and sometimes participated, Forest Feral is the real deal, our communications between country’s is invaluable to both Mungrel and feral in the true fight ,you need not know , sometimes it’s just better that way, ……………..get the drift !
Yippie ms idaho
Cat, thank you for relaying that.
Mungrel, keep up the good fight, son. Nipper for sure is turning to be a fine young bloke. We’ll see what happens here in November. If enough are awake so tptb don’t manage to steal that one. If they do texit sounds better and better.
Still hope that somehow someway we manage to get to OZ and down a few together. Right now waiting to get the radiation schedule for my SIL.
Cheers mate!
I see mungrel backflips of joy – thanks for posting Cat
What a gift this morning, so welcome and unexpected💕 Where do I find any words to respond? The message delivered is taken to heart, so reassuring that the fight is there as always, which I never doubted it would be. And so uplifting to know that the ties between cat and dog not only remain, but strengthen as surely they were meant to. God in His heaven does work in His own ways. And it is a wonder to behold.
I am especially so glad to hear the news about ms Idaho. Talk about the bush telegraph! She told us the pressure in her eye had abated, but that her sight is better? Oh joy!! What a glorious answer to our prayers. Deo gratias🙏
And, as always dear friend of my heart, my prayers are offered on your behalf always… for your health, for your well being, for your incredible spirit and for all that you are🙏 My boomerang is kept in good shape, and so I send my love knowing my aim will be true. This missive from you has made my day. Take care, be well, and continue to stay of the radar😉 LBT
(Thank you, dear Cat, for being his amanuensis. You really have outdone yourself.😘)
Niiiiiice. Gnite n thanks for the relay kitty cat.
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.

A beautiful rock ballad for a Friday
I just heard from some of my nursing peeps that I worked with at the county jail…they are telling me that on Jan. 1 one murderer who lives/lived 7 doors down from me….
Is one of the ones in IL, that will be “released” on the new no bail law.
I never had a problem with him. But I am concerned none the less.
Please pray for us up here…because there are many that will be a problem.

There is no question, Aggiegirl, our prayers will be offered for your safety and those in your neighbourhood.
It’s impossible to understand the thinking of these people who turn prisoners loose into communities like yours. The responsibility for the safety of people in them seems not be of any concern…none. I hope there are some who are armed. And I suspect gun sales will be increasing now at an exponential rate.
Praying that heavenly protection will surround you.🙏
Be armed Aggiegirl if you are not already. And practice a lot.
Update:
As you know the concern with the increased eye pressure coupled with the decreased blood pressure left me shivering with fear that the optic nerve had been murdered – never to return.
Doctor’s post op eval next week.
Yes, surgery relieved eye pressure – yay
But why did it happen in the first place? And what will prevent its recurrence?
Low BP means the ability to get oxygen and nutrients INTO the brain, the eye and feed the optic nerve is marginal – and it’s the diastolic pressure that is the concern here. while over 80 is what most docs focus on, under 60 is dangerous (to organs and systems). And I was below 60. To repeat: whatever these pressures are during you visit to the doctor, at night eye pressure goes up and BP goes down.
Every day i think what I can see improves – mornings are worst, but i see better as the day goes on – because of all my eye drops? because i am healing?
I Thank God for prayers answered (thank you Duchess)
Because I believe thoughts (and prayers) are things, I know the importance of the prayers from each of you.
Thanks you more than I can say.
ms Idaho, this is such hopeful news. And I for one celebrate with you that there is improvement, and I do pray this remarkable result so soon after your op will continue.
Whatever has helped, be it the drops or the surgery or…there is no doubt we were heard and answered. Thank God for His kindness and mercies. And for the skills of your doctors and the care you have received. This is a day with so many blessings, your improvement at the top of a long list. So I say Hallelujah, thanks be to God.🙏🤗
you must have felt the boomerang go whizzing by
Maybe God doesn’t do it directly? Maybe He works through people, places and things?
What’s that old saw? God helps those who work their butts off…..
Lots of folks do not make the effort to find the help they need nor follow the steps needed (too much effot) to effect improvement
Whatever –
Oh I absolutely believe God works through many people, ms Idaho. All threads in our individual tapestries criss and cross with others. No man is an island as that old saw goes. But however He choses to answers prayer, directly or indirectly, that He answered ours for you is cause for joy and thanks. I have the first, and I offer the second. 😘
That’s good news ms idaho, thank you. Sometimes God works through people and sometimes He chooses to heal directly. But it’s always He who does the healing. Prayers for you continue.
Blessed be His Name! Baruch HaShem!
ms idaho Thank the Lord for the improvement in your eye. I am happy to hear that. I will still keep you in my prayers for healing. God bless you.
Amen.
I am no fan of “celebrities”, sports or otherwise.
But I must report this.
The queques to file past the coffin of Queen Elizabeth now resting in Westminster Hall until Monday when her State Funeral will take place, are now 24 hours long.
Members of Her late Majesty’s government, now the government of King Charles, have been ushered in by side doors to pay their respects, cutting in as it were in front of the queques of those, old and young, waiting patiently.
Alone in his recognition that he is no better than those in line was David Beckham, dressed in a dark suit and tie, who took his place amongst other Britons and waited 13 hours to pay his respects. Not for him pulling the rank of his immense celebrity. Not for him a ” don’t you know who I am” attitude.
His beginnings were exactly like those waiting with him. It seems he remembers well. And thus he took a place in the queue so he could bow to the Queen’s coffin when it was his turn.
Well done.
Amen…
Amen!
Amen.
My little alarm clock arrived today and it works great. That will solve one of the problems anyway. 🙂 Hugs!
You’ve been doing great this week even without the alarm clock! Looking forward to a great future.

Hi, Andeclain, it is Saturday, 9/17, and my family is taking me out for dinner. I thought it was going to be lunch, but they are coming at 5:00 my time. I may not be back in time to post the prayer. before 7:00 my time. Wouldn’t you know!!
Amen
Amen.

In the future, people will admit that the COVID virus was released by the CIA in China to slow the Chinese economy, slow the movement of goods, slow the use of coal, and the burning of oil.
COVID was used to slow the American economy, reduce the use of fuels, take control of the peoples, and cull the sick and elderly.
