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 †

“But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
~~John 10:26-29~~
Good morning to all of His flock who have gathered under and in the protective and loving branches of this beautiful Tree. May His blessings and mercies and grace abound for every one… those we know and those whom we hope to know who may for the moment just be passing by.🙏
Good morning Bet! Blessings, mercy, and grace back at you, dear sister. 🙏🏻❤️✝️
Good morning, and thank you, my dear friend…and always for you😘🙏
Here is a link to sheep and the Good Shepherd…lots of nice pictures to warm one’s soul. It was hard to find one single picture, they seem to be in large groups…with a subscription required. This one, you can scroll thru!

How thoughtful, Aggiegirl. I will enjoy going through them. Bless your heart…in a very good way.😉
Mornin, Dan.
At about 4 this was exactly what was needed.
Who knew? ✝️
– thanks
Patience, I find so many of the spiritual postings here in the morning are coincidentally (?) exactly what I need to read as well. It happens too many times to be serendipitous. Cat’s Chambers sermon today is a perfect example of that. Blessings to you and Ma, girl.🙏
Very “coincidentally” yesterday’s WP post was from Ephesians 2 on grace. Last night I was reading another devotional that focused on the same passage. Grace, it was God’s Grace that saved my soul in 1997, and God’s Grace that saved my life 21 years ago today when I was in a severe car wreck. Blessed be His Holy Name. ❤️
Pa….., 🥰
Oh G…that is so lovely. And I praise Him for doing so, my brother. And I do so with so much feeling because He did the exact same for my son, on the eve of his 21st, at a time when he had completely lost his way.
The car was totaled. He was unscathed. I can attribute it to nothing else but His Grace. The beginning of endless mercies which changed the whole course of his misguided path.
And this the anniversary of your wreck? There are no coincidences I have learned. And because you are here, I doubly rejoice and give thanks with you. Deo gratias🙏😘
I tell my students who are named Grace or Ruth what the definition of those two words are. These names appear plain, but the meaning attached is beautiful. 🙏
YES!

Good morning, Garrison. 😎
They were quite a diverse group. I didn’t know!
That first jam blew me away.
Good stuff!
Hi, Patience. The 60-70’s LA music scene was pretty amazing. The book, Hotel California is an excellent history of those times. 🙂
Yes… , but I didn’t know the Bryds jammed/ rocked!
-I’m sure I knew that then but it’s all just a blurt. Ha!
I grew up with their early songs.

Morning, Mr jay… and just like that, the Route 66 theme whisked me back decades…one of my dad’s faves. Blessings to you, dear sir.🤗
Maidin Mhaith Betsy, it’s still a good trip on Route 66
🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Last good road trip we made was to our son’s wedding…from Texas to Florida. Two days it took to get there. We made it back in one day. Good times.
Morning jay!

Bobby Helms was BIG in the latter ’50s. He had singles in a LOT of jukeboxes….
Route 66 was a very popular TV show in the ’60s, two cool dudes traveling around in a sleek Corvette convertible….
… when males were men
and boys had toys
You got that right, Patience!
And females were women
and girls had pink telephones and fuzzy slippers… 😉
“Chivalry is not dead. It just went wherever femininity went.”
I’ve sent this to my three grands nearest to me.
That’s an excellent observation, Betsy. Kudos to you or whoever originated that statement.
Not to me unfortunately, wish I could claim credit…it’s a meme I’ve kept forever. And not only is it good, it’s the truth.

Good morning all.
Nice and quiet out in the Atlantic. The only disturbance now is over central America. Today I do another run up in the Chicago area.
Sleep well rah. I enjoy your posts. Be safe tomorrow. Chicago area can’t be easy.
Drive safe…
Safe travels.
The PayPal situation has reminded me that I really need to close my account at one of the big banks.
For NE Ohio residents: Are there any local banks or credit unions that you would recommend? Any help would be appreciated, as I am new to the area. Thanks!
Here’s your ‘science’ lesson for today. Complete with scientific data of CO2 readings 6000 years ago, even before anyone knew it was being measured by the many scientists born of our very own Adam and Eve.
There is so much more CO2 in the air now, especially inside a closed room, with a video camera and smartphone to check the highly toxic readings.
The Industrial Revolution, harnessing the power of fossil fuels, is the prime suspect. See for yourself! Study and learn now, before it’s too late.
Oh, pleeeese. The CO2 scam isn’t funny any more. People are being killed for this nonsense.
That guy needs to think harder and so does anyone that believes that BS!
CO2 is plant food, absolutely necessary for carbon based life forms, which is what all known life forms on this planet are. The earth is greening because of the current atmospheric CO2 levels, meaning we can produce even more food! What is that you people have against plants and life?
During prehistory CO2 levels was up to 17X higher than they are now and life thrived!

Led by the WEF, environmental activists are seeking to transform COVID restrictions into climate change restrictions. CO2 is one of the false “emergencies” being used to create a new form of an old form of totalitarianism — fascism. We’ve seen this movie before.
Just got a copy of Marc Morano’s new book, The Great Reset. It’s both well researched and well written. Highly recommended.
Red/Green Koolaid swallowed in one gulp by too many unthinking people, all of whom missed their science classes.
If one takes a look at the most splendid pictures of our massive and seemingly unending universe and still believes the infinitesimal presence of man on this relatively small earth controls the climate, there is no help. Such arrogance.
But . . . but . . . if we don’t do something now the world’s gonna’ end!!!
First, Big Bang
Then what, bang bang???
– head fake
Its been “ending” for decades, Garrison…or so we were told. Bit this time it’s REALLY going to end, day after tomorrow.
Let us not forget that Dinosaurs caused the ice age🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😅

Thanks rah, what an awesome graph. Is there a link to an article that goes with the graph?
The climate agenda seems to be against all the basic chemical building blocks of life –CO2 and lately nitrogen (fertilizer use to be greatly reduced in Canada). The climate activists seem to basically be against anything that supports life.

Plants are now almost starving for CO2. It would be altogether beneficial to triple or quadruple the tiny 0.04 percent of CO2 in the air.
CO2 sequestration is the exact wrong thing to do, if growing crops for people is a goal. Whatever it is, if Bill Gates is doing it, it’s not good for human life.
Growing crops for people is not the goal.
For the monster Gates, ridding the world of people he doesn’t care for and for whom he has nothing but contempt is the goal. We are cluttering up his “space”. He and those like him consider themselves to be gods and a higher power than our Almighty God whom they deny but Who, at a time of His choosing, will call them all to account.
The Great Reset = You will own nothing but you will be happy . . .
Satanic. Unholy.
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.

After God’s Silence – What?
When He had heard therefore that he was sick, He abode two days in the same place where he was. — John 11:6
Has God trusted you with a silence — a silence that is big with meaning? God’s silences are His answers. Think of those days of absolute silence in the home at Bethany! Is there anything analogous to those days in your life? Can God trust you like that, or are you still asking for a visible answer? God will give you the blessings you ask if you will not go any further without them; but His silence is the sign that He is bringing you into a marvellous understanding of Himself. Are you mourning before God because you have not had an audible response? You will find that God has trusted you in the most intimate way possible, with an absolute silence, not of despair, but of pleasure, because He saw that you could stand a bigger revelation. If God has given you a silence, praise Him, He is bringing you into the great run of His purposes. The manifestation of the answer in time is a matter of God’s sovereignty. Time is nothing to God. For a while you say — “I asked God to give me bread, and He gave me a stone.” He did not, and to-day you find He gave you the bread of life.
A wonderful thing about God’s silence is that the contagion of His stillness gets into you and you become perfectly confident — “I know God has heard me.” His silence is the proof that He has. As long as you have the idea that God will bless you in answer to prayer, He will do it, but He will never give you the grace of silence. If Jesus Christ is bringing you into the understanding that prayer is for the glorifying of His Father, He will give you the first sign of His intimacy — silence.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The sympathy which is reverent with what it cannot understand is worth its weight in gold.

That’s not military aide. That’s a deposit into Hunter “you don’t f$ck with a” Biden’s bank account.
Who needs offshore accounts in the Bahamas, when Ukraine is not only a bank… but a fully complicit partner in the manufacturing of biological weapons for the next U.S.-inspired “plandemic” to keep all us deplorables under their control.

The coof finally arrived, my husband came home Friday with a slight headache. He worked half days Saturday and Sunday, and also rode his bike 15 miles after work both days. Sunday he felt a little worse and decided to test, it was positive. This is as mild a flu/illness as ever, he says. Fever has barely gotten to 100.. a little cough that is not frequent, and the slight headache.
He more annoyed than anything.
Just wanted to share because well, this is where I hang out every day.
Have a great day friends.
God loves us and we are strong.
praise the Lord.
Here’s hoping with the usual supplements and your loving, attentive care, he’ll feel 100% quickly, Bananas. Extra C as well as elderberry syrup or chewables should help. 🙏
and hydrate, steam,
cough
and spit it out!
No advil or motrin.

The problem with the stuff is it hangs on for a time. My neighbor Steve who is as active as you could imagine a 69 year old being, still has a cough 2 weeks after testing negative.
Prayers up, and don’t forget the Ivermectin.

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.

Our next world catastrophe-Lack of Fresh Water 😵💫
I saw a YouTube video that interested me-That 80% of the US population is east of a north/South line a few hundred miles west of the Mississippi (Basically east of a line north and south of San Antonio, Tex). The other 20%of the US population, of course, is west of that line with California with about 60% of that as I recall.
Back in the late 1800’s a geologist and explorer, John Wesley Powell, determined that lack of fresh water and rainfall was a limiting factor for population growth in that area. The Rockies prevented rain clouds from moving east.
He also said that, because the earth is warming, that lack of rainfall line is gradually moving eastward.
So I thought that was interesting in that:
I know California government has already been screwing up California’s water supply. They will probably try to get the rest of the states to follow their lead to Save The Environment.
Not trying to bring up another doom and gloom governmental issue, but thought the subject was interesting enough to share.
