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 †

Ah, the seriousness of an Aussie.
My daughter has an Aussie similarly marked, without the tan. Stunningly beautiful dog, as is the one in your pic.
When she called it a “wiggle butt” I didn’t really understand…….til I met the pooch.
How THAT much energy gets crammed into one dog blows.my.mind.
They are amazing.
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
In memory of my other brother
Nice.

Molly Hatchet!!!! Yes!!! 🙂

Good morning/night, Mr jay. That was some real rocking going on.😊

Good morning Bet! Got the tests done yesterday and didn’t even glow in the dark last night. 😂❤️
‘Now got to wait a few days to get a copy of the radiologist report since I’m not seeing the neurologist back until the end of October.
No glowing?? Dang!! And wow! That’s a wait, isn’t it?
If you were in the UK, though, you’d be waiting for a heck of a lot longer…if ever. You’d be in a queque, queuing to be another queque. No kidding.
In the meantime this…do some research on nicotine and Parkinson’s. The powers that be don’t want you to know that nicotine has an advantageous effect on it. There is lots on this which has been published. Hopefully this will be a moot point, but the more info you have the better. I’m thinking patches. I offer that for your consideration, and I swore when you checked in I’d pass it along. Something I’ve known about for years and years.
Prayers continuing, my dear brother. Put your feet up for a moment when you can. It’s been a stressful year for all of you. It won’t hurt…a cup of tea with whatever in it won’t hurt either😉
🙏🙏🙏😘
I’d check on the nicotine. Should’ve not quit smoking 35 years ago. 😂
‘But what do you know, as I was driving mom to the store I got an automated call from the neurologist office reminding me of my appointment next week. Guess they wrote October on the card by mistake. Praising the Lord!
Thank you, dear sister! 😘
Wonderful!!!!! I’m so glad! Maybe with this heat they were wishing October would just get here sooner. I know I do😉
No matter…hooray! And Thank God you don’t have to wait all that long…we’re not in Blighty just yet.😘
I’ll take bands I’ve seen for a $1,000.00 Jay.
Thanks
An excellent set of selections… good work
🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Good morning jay! Ah, high school, Deep Purple and Golden Earring.
Yep my K-mart stereo just blasting 👀😂😂

Wow, Garrison! Your night off gave you your mojo back! What a selection. And so many tracks. Wonderful!
My husband and his mate used to bicycle to the Mersey, take that ferry over to the Cavern to hear the Beatles just before they hit the big time. These were great. Blessings, my friend.😘

And there’s nothing wrong with that…I still have a smidgen left.
Sorry the formatting got screwed up again guys. Hopefully the links all work . . . Some great music here . . . 🙂
Morning, Garrison. 😎

I actually just wanted to ask a question about this website. Does the conservative treehouse have advertisements?
I’ve run a lot of wordpress installs, and I remember a commenting plugin had its own ads, but it took me awhile to notice because I had an ad blocker enabled.
Something to check.
No.
That girl with a gun picture is an ad.

It is unalloyed joy…something we don’t see too much of these days, sadly.
My little chuweenie turned 15 on the 13th. He’s still just as spry and energetic as when we adopted him 9 years ago. He is the sweetest, most loving little guy.

“Dear Lord, please fill me with Your spirit, peace, love, and joy. Help me to love others as You love me. Help me to be patient, kind, compassionate, and not easily angered or offended. May I show the same grace and mercy to others that You show to me. Please give me wisdom to know when to speak and when to remain silent when dealing with difficult people and situations. May I glorify You in all that I think and do. In Jesus’ name I ask these things.” Amen 🙏
And may all His blessings, mercy, healing, and peace rest upon every one in every branch of our Tree.

The Missionary’s Master and Teacher
You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am ….I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master… —John 13:13, 16
To have a master and teacher is not the same thing as being mastered and taught. Having a master and teacher means that there is someone who knows me better than I know myself, who is closer than a friend, and who understands the remotest depths of my heart and is able to satisfy them fully. It means having someone who has made me secure in the knowledge that he has met and solved all the doubts, uncertainties, and problems in my mind. To have a master and teacher is this and nothing less— “…for One is your Teacher, the Christ…” (Matthew 23:8).
Our Lord never takes measures to make me do what He wants. Sometimes I wish God would master and control me to make me do what He wants, but He will not. And at other times I wish He would leave me alone, and He does not.
“You call Me Teacher and Lord…”— but is He? Teacher, Master, and Lord have little place in our vocabulary. We prefer the words Savior, Sanctifier, and Healer. The only word that truly describes the experience of being mastered is love, and we know little about love as God reveals it in His Word. The way we use the word obey is proof of this. In the Bible, obedience is based on a relationship between equals; for example, that of a son with his father. Our Lord was not simply God’s servant— He was His Son. “…though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience…” (Hebrews 5:8). If we are consciously aware that we are being mastered, that idea itself is proof that we have no master. If that is our attitude toward Jesus, we are far away from having the relationship He wants with us. He wants us in a relationship where He is so easily our Master and Teacher that we have no conscious awareness of it— a relationship where all we know is that we are His to obey.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
We are only what we are in the dark; all the rest is reputation. What God looks at is what we are in the dark—the imaginations of our minds; the thoughts of our heart; the habits of our bodies; these are the things that mark us in God’s sight.

MORNING
My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. Psa. 104:34
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. Song 2:3
For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? Psa. 89:6
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand. Song 5:10
One pearl of great price. Matt. 13:46
The prince of the kings of the earth. Rev. 1:5
His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven. Song 5:11
The head over all things. Eph. 1:22
He is the head of the body, the church. Col. 1:18
His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers. Song 5:13
He could not be hid. Mark 7:24
His lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh. Song 5:13
Never man spake like this man. John 7:46
His countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. Song 5:15
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant. Psa. 31:16
LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. Psa. 4:6
EVENING
O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. Matt. 26:39
Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. John 12:27
I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38
He … became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Phil. 2:8
In the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered. Heb. 5:7, 8
Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? Matt. 26:53
Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Luke 24:46, 47

“Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? Matt. 26:53”
This does not mean angels as humanoid type beings with feathered wings.
It means messages from God. The Hebrew word for angel means message.
There are many ways to receive God’s messages of hope and direction; one of the best ways is to find hope and direction in scripture.

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.

BABY LIVES MATTER
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
Something that hadn’t occurred to me, but something women who consider abortion “birth control”, instead of understanding what a gift now and in the future God has given them need to be aware of…
Before a baby girl is born, all of her eggs are fully formed.
When a woman kills her unborn daughter, she is killing her future grandchildren as well. Not just one life…🙏
Japan joins the dark side of the globalist push for economic ______.
https://jen.jiji.com/jc/eng?g=eco&k=2022092201119
I’d had hopes for some sanity in Japan. But given their fiscal and monetary performance over decades, I guess I should have known better.
I’m back home. After delivery at Smithville, TN I said the heck with it, used my 16 hour exception, and drove back home. Be hitting the sack to take a nap pretty soon since I have been up over 24 hours now.
First a couple things:
Today is the first day of Astronomical Fall/Autumn. Meteorological Fall/Autumn began Sept. 1st for the northern hemisphere. But Astronomical Fall means that today the suns path is directly over the equator. It marks the start of true fall for us in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere is marks the beginning of true spring.
This is when the hours of darkness and light are very close to equal (How equal depends on where you live). If you live on the equator then then they are close to equal but since there is not much variance of daylight to night hours year round it is not really noticeable. The further one is from the equator, north or south, the more noticeable the change.
Now on to the tropical weather. In about three days all of you that live in states that border the Gulf of Mexico should start paying attention. Invest 98L is the red “X” on the map below. Its development is being stifled right now due to wind sheer but as it moves west and northwest that will change and conditions will be more favorable for its development. Levi Cowen says it is likely to become at least a TS. But because of the situation with the steering winds they really won’t be able to project a track for 3-4 days. About the time it has moved up off the Yucatan is when the picture should become much clearer. You folks on the Gulf coast of Florida don’t be thinking that your out of the woods yet because there is a better chance than you may think of that thing recurving back to the East North East.

Testing — I just posted two posts that did not appear. I’m posting again to ascertain if I am blocked.
If, as it seems, I have I been blocked from posting, I do not know why, or what has been offensive in my posts.
There are two posts with your name. It might be that it is necessary to “refresh” the screen on the computer or pad or phone for them to show up for you. Just a guess.
Thank you — I ‘ll now what to do if it happens again.
I would respectfully request some help with a subject matter. Recently I posted a comment making a positive connection between Lieutenant General Michael Flynn & President Donald Trump and I was excoriated by numerous other commenters about the evils of General Flynn for betraying President Trump. Today I was remembering that lecture I had received and decided to see what I could find on the Internet by doing a query for the following phrases;
“Michael Flynn Betrayed Trump”
“Michael Flynn Turned on Trump”
“Michael Flynn Joined With Democrats”
“Michael Flynn Worked With Democrats”.
Every time that I found was either old information about the FBI entrapment of General Flynn or recent about General Flynn becoming a Holy Warrior and at the center of new movement based on conspiracies and Christian nationalism.
Could someone possibly enlighten me as to what it is that General Flynn did that was so evil against President Trump?
General Flynn is a patriot who did nothing evil against President Trump.
He would have been a strong, loyal, and valuable member of team MAGA.
President Trump fired Gen. Flynn because VP Pence convinced him that the general lied to the VP and the FBI about contacts with the Russian Ambassador.
In reality, Pence et al are the ones who lied and perpetrated evil against President Trump, Gen. Flynn and the people of this great nation.
