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 †

Seen his type before. All an act.
No worries, what a way to go.
“I’m staying home today…I have mood poisoning.”
🤣
Mine looks at me that way when she is trying to manipulate me into doing something. Her normal look is one of indignance.
No words needed with a cat. The look says it all😉
Gabby the cat tried to bite me this morning. Who knows what they really want, other than food, a clean litter box, pets on demand and stop petting the minute they want you to, and as many places at the windows and doors as possible to look out.
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Morning jay!
Morning Gramps , Betsy , Garrison 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸

Darn. I couldn’t watch the whole video because my cat jumped up from a dead sleep and is on alert to see who’s invading hr territory! She’s convinced something is lurking around the corner!
Ha!
I LOLd, as the kids say, MaineCoon
Actually, the kids probably don’t say that anymore, they’ve probably moved on to something else, leaving us oldsters perpetually un-hip
It’s getting harder to keep up with the lingo!
WP, this brief devotional is so full of His power and love for us, even as we manifest our unworthiness of such grace and mercy. Who cannot fail to be humbled by it? And grateful. Amen.
Amen Bet and good morning! Thanks be to God for His grace and mercy! ❤️
The gift without compare, G. 😘

Hello once again, Patience! Tea done, on to coffee much needed. Reassuring to see everyone present and accounted for.😉
Yes! But, Levi???
I can add a few more as well…..I suspect those absent with their comments are more than likely reading here. So I count them as present, even if we can’t see them. Our prayers are always with them.🙏
Hi, Pa❣️
-Good thoughts (only) for you. ✝️

21 September 2020 Tommy Devito, American rock baritone vocalist and guitarist (Four Seasons – “Sherry”) dies of COVID-19 at 93
21 September 2016 John D. Loudermilk, American country singer and songwriter (“Tobacco Road”), dies at 82
21 September 2006 Raymond “Boz” Burrell, British rock bassist and singer (King Crimson, 1971-72; Bad Company, 1973-82), dies of a heart attack at 60
21 September 1974 Walter Andrew Brennan (July 25, 1894 – September 21, 1974) was an American actor and singer.
Old Rivers
I bought the 45RPM single of “Sherry” in 1962 for 99 cents. It was on a Vee-Jay label and was played on a monaural record player until the grooves had grooves…. One of my early favorites.
GB, the very first album I ever owned was given to me by my godmother for probably my 12th birthday, and it was the Four Seasons album with Sherry on it .
Bless her heart. She was elderly, and thought long and hard in choosing something she thought I might like. Of course I was appreciative, but I was not aware of the music of the day. This album started my journey, which very quickly morphed into the side road of classical music, which has been my lifelong passion. The first album of that genre I owned was Messiah, which I listened to daily.
We all forget early presents, birthday or otherwise, but that is one I will never forget, nor the sweet lady who gave it to me.
Betsy that is a cool story. I don’t remember anyone ever buying me a record beyond the kiddie records I got as a tot from my parents.
So when I wanted to start collecting rock ‘n’ roll music as I came of age in the late 50s early 60s, I would walk up to the record shop in the village about a mile from where I lived (or I’d bicycle up) and buy my own using the money I had raised from cutting lawns and shoveling snow.
Oh nice!!!! And because you earned the $$$ by the actual sweat of your brow, I’ll bet my bottom dollar you enjoyed those records even more. A lesson I’ve passed on to my grands here (when I had them captive in the car on the school runs 😉). The 17 years old twin lads are working at a Braum’s eatery. And much to my delight (after my many financial lectures to them) they are saving a majority proportion of their wages.
My work here will never be done!
👍 👍
My first album was Hey Little Cobra by the Rip Chords. It was wore out by 1966😎😎
Hahahahaha…wore all the grooves out, right??😂😂😂

The Missionary’s Predestined Purpose
Now the Lord says, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant… —Isaiah 49:5
The first thing that happens after we recognize our election by God in Christ Jesus is the destruction of our preconceived ideas, our narrow-minded thinking, and all of our other allegiances— we are turned solely into servants of God’s own purpose. The entire human race was created to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. Sin has diverted the human race onto another course, but it has not altered God’s purpose to the slightest degree. And when we are born again we are brought into the realization of God’s great purpose for the human race, namely, that He created us for Himself. This realization of our election by God is the most joyful on earth, and we must learn to rely on this tremendous creative purpose of God. The first thing God will do is force the interests of the whole world through the channel of our hearts. The love of God, and even His very nature, is introduced into us. And we see the nature of Almighty God purely focused in John 3:16— “For God so loved the world….”
We must continually keep our soul open to the fact of God’s creative purpose, and never confuse or cloud it with our own intentions. If we do, God will have to force our intentions aside no matter how much it may hurt. A missionary is created for the purpose of being God’s servant, one in whom God is glorified. Once we realize that it is through the salvation of Jesus Christ that we are made perfectly fit for the purpose of God, we will understand why Jesus Christ is so strict and relentless in His demands. He demands absolute righteousness from His servants, because He has put into them the very nature of God.
Beware lest you forget God’s purpose for your life.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The life of Abraham is an illustration of two things: of unreserved surrender to God, and of God’s complete possession of a child of His for His own highest end.

Gracious morning, Cat.💕
Good morning, G. You were the last friend in my prayers last night and the first when I opened my eyes this morning. with most much love…B🙏💕
Good morning again, Bet! I appreciate it very much. My bride called me 20 minutes ago. She’s driving to be with me for the tests. Last night she had to take care of her sister. She just wants to be with me so I told her to come along. 🙏🏻😍
There was never any doubt in mind she would be anywhere else. Never! I am with you as well…in the back seat😉💖
Good morning Cat! 💜
Rough patch.
Tuesday morning got the call at 05:15 for a Toyota milk run departing at 07:00. Departed the terminal at 06:50 after having hooked the trailer, done a PTI, entered the locations I was going into my GPS, and stamped trailer number, date, printed name and signature on about 30 Toyota check sheets.
Pickups in Richmond, IN. Shelbyville, IN. Franklin, IN. Columbus, IN. Then took the load to the Vandalia, OH terminal and dropped it then hooked to the trailer loaded with another Toyota load leaving out of the Anderson, IN terminal the next day and came home.
Route was complicated by two serious accidents on I-70. Going west Bound on I-70 heading for Shelbyville from Richmond I saw the one blocking I-70 East bound. Read it was a fatal accident. Saw it was a head on between an Old Dominion Freight Lines double and another big truck pulling a Target 53′ trailer. It was obvious the interstate would be blocked for quite some time.
Up ahead of me was another serious accident on I-70 West bound. Fortunately, my exit was just before I hit the back up because I was not aware of that accident.
After doing all my pickups I would need to hit I-70 eastbound again and rerouted to hit the interstate at Spiceland, which is well east of where the I-70 East was shut down.
Last Friday I went to the Urologist that did the surgery on me and I was informed yesterday that my PSA test was elevated, and I must get a biopsy.
And PB has not shown up the last two days.
Steve and Betty have COVID.
On the bright side, the new dishwasher and kitchen faucet were installed yesterday and both are working great.
Good luck!!
Rah… IF the biopsy shows positive, talk with your urologist about the possibility of treating with cryotherapy. I had that done seven years ago. It is a MUCH less invasive and time consuming procdure, if you are a good candidate for it. It is a one-time visit for treatment and done. There are a few minor possible side affects (mostly short term due to the prostate swelling or being irritated).
Thanks!
I’ll do that.
Sending prayers heavenward for you, rah. Thankfully you have a doctor you know who got you healthy before and whom you trust. He’ll see you right, as is said in Britain.
And oh dear…so worrying about PB. St Francis, please look after this little mite.
Thank you. Biopsy scheduled for Friday morning Oct. 14th.
I’ll remember that. My grandmother’s birthday. Prayers up to and through your procedure, and beyond.
Prayers up, rah. 🙏🏻

Heres some light reading for Treepers to start the day with.
In depth analysis in comments. Personal accounts of the plandemic from several international commenters. Not to be missed.
https://thephilosophicalsalon.com/a-self-fulfilling-prophecy-systemic-collapse-and-pandemic-simulation/
Further analysis of the current collapse/economic situation. Very insightful as to socialist economic thinking and current policy. They completely ignore political ideology as a driving force to t self fulfilling destruction. Focusing entirely on the evils of capitalism/profit, and the only way to fix it is more government. Some points I find extremely valid however in both these essays.

September 21
MORNING
We know that all things work together for good to them that love God. Rom. 8:28
Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. Psa. 76:10
Ye thought evil against me: but God meant it unto good, Gen. 50:20
All things are yours; whether … the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s. I Cor. 3:21-23
All things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. II Cor. 4:15-17
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:2-4
EVENING
The communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. II Cor. 13:14
I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. John 14:16, 17
He shall not speak of himself. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. John 16:13, 14
The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Rom. 5:5
He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? I Cor. 6:17, 19
Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Eph. 4:30
The Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Rom. 8:26

The Great American Songbook………
“I’ve Got The World On A String”. 1932. Music by Harold Arlen, Lyrics by Ted Kohler for the show “The Cotton Club Parade”.
“..what a world, what a life, I’m in love……”
Over at AOS, JJ Sefton finished his morning report with a quote from Kevin Downey Jr at PJ Media instead of putting in one of his tag lines, the last two paragraphs, to wit:
“Despite thousands of homicide charges against illegal immigrants over the years, Democrats insist on letting millions more pour over the border — though, ironically, not in their neighborhoods. This is despite confirmation that foreign nations are emptying their prisons into our country.”
“What could go wrong? More police will be killed. Women and children will be sexually assaulted. But that’s of no real consequence; what’s most important is that woke, white progressives who push for open borders can signal how virtuous they are to their well-to-do neighbors, and that Democrats import more future Democrat voters — because Americans aren’t buying it anymore.”
Which is most appropriate, because several millions of us, Americans, of whatever heritage, are sick of it. And when the rubicon is finally crossed, when the progressives cause an event that will be our equivalent to 1770, I cringe at the thought of what will be. Because none of us want it. But there is no avoiding it.
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 former vice president for the EcoHealth Alliance, a major funder of the Wuhan Institute of Virology, claims that his organization “developed” SARS-CoV-2 through gain-of-function research that makes viruses more dangerous.
“The process of developing SARS-COV2 was also described in detail in the proposal submitted to, and ultimately funded by, the National Institutes of Health (HHS NIH), The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), by EcoHealth Alliance with the WIV and [University of North Carolina] listed as collaborators,” according to the sworn declaration of Andrew Huff, who is represented by the attorney Thomas Renz.
