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 †

Good morning, griever.
A well deserved award…valedictorian of his acting school class.
Heaven’s light shines upon him. It looks as if he sees Who made him. A very reassuring picture for this Sunday.
Congrats, B.J. on having your comment moved to the top of the page.
Obviously, “WELL SAID!”
Oh my, Dutchman! How generous you are, dear sir. Thank you so so much!😘 All God’s blessings to you on this Sunday.
Welcome to the Club,…watch your head!
When it happened to me, I kept hitting my head every time I walked through a doorway,…cause my feet were 1′ off the ground, lol.
Blessings to you, and to us all!
😊
Good afternoon Bet!
God Bless America 🙂
Mornin’ Jay 🙂
Gracious morning, Garrison, on the Lord’s day.😘
Mornin’ Bet. For just asking a simple question, suddenly I’m realizing just how much more work I haven’t done. Not good at this stuff. Not at all. Be well, love . . . 🙂
Does it matter in the end? One day at a time, my friend. There is always the next day. There is no stop watch running….as and when. My philosophy as I age. I gift it to you😘
God Bless Garrison 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thank you, Jay. 🙂
Jay knows what I like. 😀
check this one out Keln..
this CD shares a spot right alongside my Yngwie Malmsteen and Lynyrd Skynyrd CDs’.. (adjusted start time due to brief intro dialogue..).
Very nice.
The dramatic introduction of the orchestra is well matched by the harmonies the Ricky Skaggs group immediately supplies.
Really nice … thx for this one ..😀👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Good morning, Texian. I recently saw an extremely old clip of an extremely young Ricky Skaggs with Bob Wills. He was effortlessly strumming away with the best of them then. This was a real gift. Thank you.
🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thank you, Texian. Very nice.

Sorry for the late reply, my employer never lets me rest.
I once saw Skaggs with my dad at the Palace in Louisville playing with the Louisville Orchestra and is was incredible.
I’ve seen bluegrass played with symphonies, with Irish bands, and even with heavy metal and I swear it fits in every time.
I am biased as a banjo player, I know, but that instrument always works in any ensemble, and nobody can doubt the power of a good fiddle or mandolin.
Good morning, Keln.
My 8 tracks and cassettes had such a variety of genres back in the day my friends were puzzled when searching for a new one in the cases. 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Morning jay!
Good morning, G! Who’s an early bird on this Sunday?😊. Blessings, my friend.

Have a wonderful and especially blessed Sunday, my treeper friends. Always remember that Our Lord loves us and watches over us. Honest, He does. 🙂
Pretty sure you or me or someone else has shared that Parting Glass one recently, but it never gets old. I love that one. Thanks Garrison!
Been using it as a Sunday benediction for a long time now. This version just seemed to be fitting . . . 🙂
It’s not Sunday w/o The Parting Glass
Yep. 🙂
No it is not!
Good morning Garrison!
Mornin’ Gramps! 🙂
Oh happy day has been stuck in my head since the transistor radio days. What a beautiful song 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸

Thanks. And you too.
Aimee Mann was known as a one-hit wonder in the 80’s, with the Til Tuesday hit “Voices Carry.” Little did most know, she was much deeper.
As an accomplished singer/songwriter, Aimee went on to do her own thing. In the vid below, it almost seems that she pokes fun at herself and her situation. She pours her heart out in this incredible song, yet much of the crowd isn’t paying attention.
One of my Aimee fave songs, and the vid really captures her vibe. She’s a phenomenal talent, who’s gone her own way. She had to, to stay true to herself and put out timeless work:
I knew she was..
it was 1986..
livin’ on daydreams..
nothing is at it seems..
when you’re in so deep..
what about love..
Good morning, Peoria. Good to see you😊 LBT
It’s another John 14:6 kinda day WP. 😎
Here are some iconic favorite Allison Krause with Union Station videos. Enjoy. :-)(
One more . . .
She’s been my crush since the late 80s. Her voice is amazing. While y’all were all moon-eyed over whatever super model or actress as a teenager, I was all about Alison.
Explains why I sing the way I do, I literally learned to sing listening to a soprano bluegrass singer. Weird, but true. I taught myself the banjo though. Fiddle is too hard without expensive lessons. I know because I tried, and failed badly. Bad fiddle is like bad bagpipes. Bad banjo you can fix in a couple days.
🙂
Garrison, once again an excellent choice for a Sunday set of music. You just can’t go wrong picking songs from Allison
🙂
Morning all. Dog woke me to go out. Could not help but check on IAN. It is now a TS and though still moving west has slowed in its progress a bit so it may be getting ready to make it’s turn north.
Really it would be a very good thing if it waited another day or so to turn. The further west it goes the longer it will be in the Gulf and the better chance conditions will change so that it is weakened before it comes ashore. Moving the current track another couple hundred miles west would make a huge difference in the strength of that storm when it finally comes ashore.

My stepsister reminded us (Mom and me) yesterday that it was the Feast Day of Padre Pio – St. Pio of Pietrelcina – we also call him our friend, Francesco Forgione . . . she mentioned in her e-mail a movie about Padre Pio which we then found on youtube and watched it.
My Mom and I have gone to Padre Pio a lot in recent years, read several books about him, about his life and miracles associated with him . . . we read a devotional on our Kindles . . . the thing we love so much is his great advice, “Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry”. Plus, he strongly recommended praying the rosary (he prayed all throughout the day and night).
In the course of looking for the movie that my sister told us about, we found that there is a movie which Shia Le Boeuf made this year – 2022 – about Padre Pio – and he plays the role of Padre Pio. I looked for the means to watch it at home (through IMDB/Amazon/Prime Vide) but it doesn’t seem to be available yet.
So, in the meanwhile, we looked around on youtube and found n interview he did about how he came to do the movie and he mentioned a beautiful place we are very familiar with, because Mom and Dad lived in the Santa Ynez Valley for about 12 years and went to Mass there (I went there with Mom one time): the San Lorenzo Seminary. Shia spoke about finding his way with the help of the Seminarians and the lovely people there.
My Mom had a Christian bookstore in Los Olivos and thus knew many Catholics in the Santa Ynez Valley who came to her store, especially wonderful people who were helping to support San Lorenzo Seminary back in those days. It just made us feel very glad that they helped Shia!
Shia talked about Thomas Merton, too . . . who was also a help to me many years ago, going to a Friday night women’s retreat/Bible study in our parish. What also is of interest to us is how he spoke of the Latin Mass. Of course, to portray Padre Pio conducting the Latin Mass, it had to be a “totally immersive” experience (using Shia’s term, immersive).
It reminded us that of course Padre Pio was part of the “Old School” of the Latin Mass – pre-Vatican II. Now Pope Francis is scolding about the Latin Mass and doubling down on efforts to eradicate it.
I confess, I do not know a great deal about Vatican II – my rudimentary knowledge (if even that) was that the Latin Mass would be, could be gradually replaced by Mass said in the language of the parishioners where the Mass is being conducted. I did not know that it was meant to be totally eliminated. Why couldn’t it co-exist and be conducted in Latin also?
I have not been to a Latin Mass for many years but perhaps it is making a comeback and if more Catholics want it and make a point of having a Latin Mass, why should the Pope be so nuts about it? Shouldn’t he be glad that people are wanting to reclaim their Church? I do not really understand his beef.
The movie we watched yesterday was good in some ways (“Padre Pio: Miracle Man”) but it did not delve into at all that he prayed the rosary constantly or his saying, “Pray, Hope & Don’t Worry” nor did it show the many, many people who showed up very early in the morning every day for Mass and the lines of men and women, too, for Confession.
Anyway, it made me feel glad for Shia and I am looking forward to seeing his portrayal of Padre Pio.
Latin is a spiritually powerful language..
Vatican II was the beginning of the usurpation of the Catholic Church..
draw your own conclusions..
Windswept House by Br. Malachi Martin is a Vatican Novel (1996) reveals how the Vatican II was issued in and the beginning of the EU and the powerful men that brokered it. Br. Martin was a close associate of Pope John XXIII and Cardinal Augustin Bea. Names were changed for those in the inner circle but all others (political powers that were) are named.
Malachi Martin.. so you know…
I consider him the last true Vatican I exorcist..
Born 1935… so grew up on Latin Mass.. when I was 12 taught to memorize Latin response to serve as altar boy.. never could understand why the change ..Vatican II..dropped out in 1960’s very happy where I am now at 87..😀👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Keep on keeping on, Jim. You sound much younger than your 87 years😉
Sue Jeanne, thank you so much for your post.
Chances are you’ve seen this documentary on the life of Padre Pio (with footage during his lifetime).
———————————-
Padre Pio was a very simple complicated man.
Can you imagine knowing what he “knew” ….trying to convey….., and living in this world????!?!!
Burnished in memory (from a twenty-one year ago trip) is the place in the courtyard where Padre Pio so often sat…; where he met with, and prayed over -and for- many who requested a meeting.
In spite of the -too many people corralled quickly through; like a line of ticket holders getting on an amusement park ride, it was, to put it in a word, spiritual.
-Yes, spiritual indeed.
Hope, pray and don’t worry.
thank you, Patience . . . no, I don’t think I have seen that particular one – will go look at it right now –
that is wonderful that you were able to visit the place where Padre Pio was –
I mentioned Padre Pio to a fellow customer at COSTCO a few months ago – I was at a table, having a hot dog while having tires checked and this man who was waiting for his wife asked if anyone was sitting there – no, please sit down –
and as he sat down, he commented to me about how rotten and horrible things were, just terrible the way the world is –
and then I replied off the top of my head, “Well, you know what Padre Pio said, ‘Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry”
“Wait a minute. What – who did you say?”
“You know, the saint with the stigmata” (I gestured with my palms, opening them) . . . “our friend, Francesco Forgione”. (I don’t know what possessed me to say it quite like that)
“Yeah, I know. I went to his place. The ocean is down there.”
“Oh my goodness . . . what a wonderful thing that you did that . . . I have never been there. It’s right on the Adriatic. On the spur of the boot.”
“Hey, are you Italian?”
“No, I have just read a lot about him and I ask him for help all the time and read about him as much as I can find.”
He went on to tell me about the trip he took there so many years ago and then his wife was over at the register so he had to go . . . but I felt good that he was telling me right off how bad the world is and I somehow happened to be the one to remind him about “Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry” and that he had been to Padre Pio’s place.
Now re-reading my comment -the Feast Day of Padre Pio is September 23rd (so this year, that was on Friday).
When I was writing, it was still Saturday here (the 24th) but of course this is the Open Thread for Sunday, the 25th.

The “Go” of Relationship
Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. —Matthew 5:41
Our Lord’s teaching can be summed up in this: the relationship that He demands for us is an impossible one unless He has done a supernatural work in us. Jesus Christ demands that His disciple does not allow even the slightest trace of resentment in his heart when faced with tyranny and injustice. No amount of enthusiasm will ever stand up to the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His servant. Only one thing will bear the strain, and that is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ Himself— a relationship that has been examined, purified, and tested until only one purpose remains and I can truly say, “I am here for God to send me where He will.” Everything else may become blurred, but this relationship with Jesus Christ must never be.
The Sermon on the Mount is not some unattainable goal; it is a statement of what will happen in me when Jesus Christ has changed my nature by putting His own nature in me. Jesus Christ is the only One who can fulfill the Sermon on the Mount.
If we are to be disciples of Jesus, we must be made disciples supernaturally. And as long as we consciously maintain the determined purpose to be His disciples, we can be sure that we are not disciples. Jesus says, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you…” (John 15:16). That is the way the grace of God begins. It is a constraint we can never escape; we can disobey it, but we can never start it or produce it ourselves. We are drawn to God by a work of His supernatural grace, and we can never trace back to find where the work began. Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us— He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Is He going to help Himself to your life, or are you taken up with your conception of what you are going to do? God is responsible for our lives, and the one great keynote is reckless reliance upon Him.

MORNING
Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:4
Now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. I Pet. 1:6, 7
We glory in tribulations: … knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope. Rom. 5:3, 4
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. Lam. 3:26
Ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Heb. 10:34-36
Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts. II Thess. 2:16, 17
EVENING
God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ. Rom. 2:16
Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. I Cor. 4:5
The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: because he is the Son of man. John 5:22, 27
The Son of God … hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire. Rev. 2:18
They say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High? Psa. 73:11
These things thou hast done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. Psa. 50:21
There is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed neither hid, that shall not be known. Luke 12:2
Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. Psa. 38:9
Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart. Psa. 26:2

I end my journey through Isaiah today. Chapter 66 ends with this:
22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth
that I make
shall remain before me, says the Lord,
so shall your offspring and your name remain.
23 From new moon to new moon,
and from Sabbath to Sabbath,
all flesh shall come to worship before me,
declares the Lord.
24 “And they shall go out and look on the dead bodies of the men who have rebelled against me. For their worm shall not die, their fire shall not be quenched, and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.”
Two eternal destinies are predicted. Eternal worship and eternal death. It must be this way.
The chapter begins by God repeating his absolute authority to do what it is he will do:
Thus says the Lord:
“Heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool;
what is the house that you would build for me,
and what is the place of my rest?
2 All these things my hand has made,
and so all these things came to be,
declares the Lord.
But this is the one to whom I will look:
he who is humble and contrite in spirit
and trembles at my word.
The earth is not the center of everything. We are not the center. God and His place are at the center of everything and His people understand that.
Mornin’ all!

Perhaps treepers can help me out… a group of my friends had a most animated conversation on this song …. Jefferson airplane song white rabbit. I thought the song was about the Lewis Carroll series….Alice in wonderland, through the looking glass…when I asked how could someone from that time period have such strange thoughts and write a child’s story like that… they all just stared at me.
What am I missing in my ponder???
Psychedelic pharmaceuticals?
Maybe LC was on drugs.

Not so much ‘pharmacueticals’ as ‘natural’ halucinigens, of which there are many, ‘used’ thruout history.
Mushrooms, peyote, jimson weed, all sorts of conconctions. Poe smoked Opium, and easy to see how LC COULD have done a little experimenting.

For those speculating on whether or not DeSantis is planning to run in 2024, my son who is in college informed me that a friend of his who belongs to a libertarian group was contacted by someone to see if he’d be interested in being the youth coordinator in the midwest for DeSantis. Why would a governor in Florida be in need of a midwest campaign coordinator if he is not planning a campaign outside of Florida? (Rhetorical question)
Anyone “speculating on whether” is either politically naive or deluded.
Been watching politics all my life, he’s positioning himself for a run for POTUS in 2024, establishing a National campaign, and actually the last 4 years has been building a foundation.
Plain as the nose on yer face.
Most likely estimate of track and strength of Ian in my estimation. Because it moved westward further than the NHC and European model projected it is likely that by the time it is approaching the Florida coast it will weaken considerably. This graphic just refelects my opinion of the best guess out there and by no means is written in stone.
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.

Had occasion for 50 mile round trip up and down the Willamette Valley (OR) today.
Unleaded/regular gas is up at least 80 cents/gal – and as much as $1 a gallon, compared to prices one week ago.
But at least inflation last month was only 1 inch.
Same 200+ miles north of you, natural gas is up 30% since April. Seems to me that not that long ago we were energy independent.
Damn. New study shows 69% increase in Alzheimer’s risk one year after having had the Covid-19. This new John Campbell video on the University of Minnesota study recently released, 17 minutes in length, titled “Post Covid Alzheimer’s”:
I remember when FJB said this, back in 2021, that in 15 years every nursing home bed will be filled with Alzheimer’s patients and I thought then, what does he know (about covid) that we don’t know? Did he utter something over a year ago because he knew, or just more blathering like when he said that the Democrats had put together the most extensive voting fraud system ever?
