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 †

“Diet? DIET??
I don’t use four letter words, thank you.”
Calories (noun)
Tiny creatures that live in your closet and sew your clothes a little bit tighter every night.
Good morning Bet! Calories is what I had last night after the showcase. Chicken fried steak and fries with lots of gravy. And before that deep fried mushrooms and pickles.

These 15 Maps Hilariously Explain the United States of America.
Maps. They’re very good at helping to understand a place aren’t they? You can look at a map of the United States but it isn’t really HELPFUL in understanding what it’s really like in each state. So, we’re gonna look at a bunch of DIFFERENT maps so we can REALLY understand what America is like. These are maps that hilariously explain America. With additional insights.
Sorry Citizen817, but being in the middle of the FARMS area on the map, we are swiftly converting to pop up Amazon distribution centers. Apparently ashphalt is way more important than pesky food-producing soil. Tilt up concrete behemoth warehouses are all the rage here. Seriously, raging.
One of those clips looked like the Chanute, IL area, east of the Air Force base…funny video!
So then say I…
God, be propitiated to me on the basis of Christ for my sins. I ask in the name of your Beloved Son, Jesus Christ, our only mediator and advocate. Amen.
Little Feat’s Waiting For Columbus album was arguably one of the greatest rock albums ever made . . . Enjoy, Treeper friends. 🙂

I have to agree with you regarding Little Feat… an amazing collection of actual musicians, creating some unique and memorable music. Here is one more to add to the mix..

Good morning, Garrison. What a change in temperature here! Brrrrrrr. Sweater time!! 😘
Maidin Mhaith Betsy 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Good morning, Mr jay😘. Blessings to you, sir.
Good morning, Bet. I’ll take the cooler weather. I can break out my made-in-Ireland traditional flat-caps. The rain revealed a roof leak I need to see to. Over the years I’ve learned a lot about repairing low-slope roofs. Basically they can’t be “fixed” only repaired when they start leaking (again).
I’m huge fan of flat caps. All gentlemen in Wales wore them. Such elegance.
I am sorry about your leak, my friend. Awful things, and one we had but didn’t realize until damage had been done to the supporting beams in our roof. It was caused by the wretched satellite dish which had been up there for years, installed before we bought our house, and discovered by our very able roofer when the roof was being replaced. When it came down permanently, we cut the cord.
And he was a gift to us. He actually came out to inspect our roof from our insurance company. A young man, a lovely man, as he was leaving I asked if he had any recommendations for reliable roofers. He said then, sheepishly, that he and his dad could do the work. We hired him immediately and that was probably one of the best things we ever did. He reminded us so much of our son, and has since become like a son to us. He has come out to us for other small things, and has never asked for a penny. I hasten to add, we’ve always paid him, though he has been reluctant to take it.
Anyway, he and his dad took the dish off and replaced the moldy boards, which was no easy job, something I doubt any other roofer we could have used would have done. He and his dad were and continue to be blessings in the truest sense to us.
So I pray, Garrison, you will be MOST careful if you are planning to do the repair yourself. It makes me uneasy to think of you doing it, especially if you’re up on that roof by yourself. 🙏🙏🙏
You brits have always been into stylish hats. Me? It if isn’t functional or needed for some special occasion, then I’m not wearing it! I have a nice cowboy hat and boots. The only time I have worn them was for my sons wedding which was a western theme and I was the best man.
Of course when I was in the military I had to wear my green beret when in garrison, but in the field it was either a patrol cap or a wool watch cap. A beret is probably one of the least functional pieces of headgear one can imagine.
That cowboy and a couple of old berets are the only head gear I have in my house for me except for wool watch caps and a balaclava which I wear in cold weather.
I have my Irish flat cap. Bought it in 2011 at Newgrange. Started wearing hats recently due to the thinning hair on the top of my head but still not very often.
I hear you. Hats in some form or another there are de rigueur. Ladies included. But the men’s are truly something else. When we moved here, I got my hubby a very nice felt Indiana Jones hat. He looks a million bucks in it, with his colleagues wanting one just like it.
Howdy Garrison, not sure how I did it but posted on the president thread 🤪😂🇺🇸
Mornin’ Jay. Age will do that to you. Just standing next to a geezer will do that to you . . . 🙂
Just 3 weeks until the election… I cannot wait!
In the immortal words of Todd Beamer… “let’s roll!”
It’s SNOWING! The middle of October!
I got the call at 10:40 this morning. No one to cover a load for the Vandalia, OH terminal. Load was already late having supposed to have left at 09:00. Go to the Anderson terminal and hook to an empty trailer. Toyota route with 3 stops. Morrisville, IN, Paris, IL, Marshall, IL. Then take the loaded trailer to the Vandalia terminal and drop it and hook to an empty trailer and bring it back to Anderson.
Mostly a dreary blustery Monday as I did the run and construction cost me some time and leaving the stop at Morrisville I ended up on county roads to get around a road closure. When Indiana detours you they take you to other Hwys and if I had followed the marked detour route it would have taken me more than 25 miles out of my way and that simply ain’t happing with this driver if I sense a way to prevent it, so I found my own detour on skinny county roads that saved me at least 20 miles. Several tight curves but no low wires or tree branches or flimsy bridges or farm equipment in the way, so it worked.
After I hooked to the empty at Vandalia and was headed back on Anderson on I-70 East bound I hit snow flurries. Big white flakes and lots of them. And now that I am at my own house they are coming down here!
Ground is too warm for it to stick and the temp is still above freezing though it is forecast to drop down into the mid to high 20s this morning, but SNOW 30 miles North of Indianapolis in the middle of October? I gotta feeling it’s going to be a long long winter!
Now it is off to bed. Night all, or should I say Good Morning all!
Good morning, Rah. Up at 2 AM with ear infection. I am your neighbor, right off 65 just due west of ZVille. Turned on the heater. Big fluffy snowflakes outside! Was beautiful and thought twice about waking the teen to show her the snow. I thought twice. Let her sleep. In dreamland, reality is sweeter.
Ear infection! Ugh! When I was 5-6 years old I was plagued by ear aches. Though I grew out of them I have never forgotten them. Why do they seem to be far worse at night?
Yeah me too. My favorite was when Mom would heat up the prescription oil and pour it into an ear that was already sore from the infection. : (
I remember that! Kinda wish I had some of that warm oil now.
I had an ear infection/sore throat a few years ago. I now understand why babies scream when they get ear infections.
Because sleep is for the weak, Rah!! ha ha! Sleep… just like sanity… is overrated.
A wise mother are you, JWoo. A time for you to watch in awe and reflection. It was quite peaceful and wondrous I’m betting.
Cold front hit here, though no snow.
Yesterday daughter posted that my 14-year old granddaughter isn’t even subtle about confiscating her clothes anymore. She wore her mother’s big, warm fuzzy sweatshirt to volleyball practice and apparently liked it A LOT.
When she came home, she looked at her mom and quietly said, “This is mine now.”
And so it goes…😁
My daughter was wearing my favorite pair of sweat pants when her water broke before delivering my oldest granddaughter.
Oh no…😂!!! Wow! What a memory, rah.😂
A small price to pay.
No price at all😍
Our Lord is good and His Miracles never cease.
So far no snow here @7000 ft unless you are above about 9000 ft, still raining tho during this severe drought according to the feds.
2 to 5 times the median water volume from 1936 to today, with a slow start with a lack of snow pack, both this and last year below historical.
Rain came mid June (early) and is still here, all of my wood doors have just now started to close properly due to the high humidity.
I wonder if that river is still dried up for the first time in 40 years. /s
LOVE your stories. 💪
We are calling for 1 – 3 inches in my neck of the woods through tomorrow 🥶
WV I reckon means West “By God” Virginia so your in the hills while I live in the relative lowlands at about 958 ft. ASL.

The Key to the Missionary’s Devotion
…they went forth for His name’s sake… —3 John 7
Our Lord told us how our love for Him is to exhibit itself when He asked, “Do you love Me?” (John 21:17). And then He said, “Feed My sheep.” In effect, He said, “Identify yourself with My interests in other people,” not, “Identify Me with your interests in other people.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 shows us the characteristics of this love— it is actually the love of God expressing itself. The true test of my love for Jesus is a very practical one, and all the rest is sentimental talk.
Faithfulness to Jesus Christ is the supernatural work of redemption that has been performed in me by the Holy Spirit— “the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit…” (Romans 5:5). And it is that love in me that effectively works through me and comes in contact with everyone I meet. I remain faithful to His name, even though the commonsense view of my life may seemingly deny that, and may appear to be declaring that He has no more power than the morning mist.
The key to the missionary’s devotion is that he is attached to nothing and to no one except our Lord Himself. It does not mean simply being detached from the external things surrounding us. Our Lord was amazingly in touch with the ordinary things of life, but He had an inner detachment except toward God. External detachment is often an actual indication of a secret, growing, inner attachment to the things we stay away from externally.
The duty of a faithful missionary is to concentrate on keeping his soul completely and continually open to the nature of the Lord Jesus Christ. The men and women our Lord sends out on His endeavors are ordinary human people, but people who are controlled by their devotion to Him, which has been brought about through the work of the Holy Spirit.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Thank you, duchess, for these beautiful Scriptures. The pictures are so uplifting as well and made me remember these gentle words from Emily Bronte…
“Every leaf speaks to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.”
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.

The Great American Songbook……….
“Me And My Shadow”. 1927. Written by Al Jolson, Billy Rose, and Dave Dreyer, with Jolson and Dreyer being shown on the sheet music as being responsible for the music and Rose the lyrics.
Al Jolson got credit for a few songs that he never wrote. Giving him credit encouraged him to perform and popularize the number.
Bravo!

Peace through the blood of his cross. Col. 1:20

He who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth (Heb. The Amen); and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth (The Amen). Isa. 65:16
When God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself. For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us. Heb. 6:13, 16-18
These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness. Rev. 3:14
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. II Cor. 1:20

I started a fire in the insert and both Geisha and cocker and Gabby the cat are in front of it though it hasn’t gotten hot enough yet to kick the blower on.
There is a patch of sunshine on the floor every afternoon,that comes through the back door window and all three cats nap there everyday.
In the morning I turn on a small electric heater that radiates heat over a small distance and the cats now take up strategic positions near by.
yep! They love sunbeams!

The CDC is about to put the COVID stroke poke on the children’s school vaccine schedule. This cannot be allowed to occur. Once on the standard schedule, there will be no recourse for harm caused by the poison injections, and the clot shot will be required to attend class.
Comment here before October 20:

Betsy, if you see this comment, please help spread it around.
They will stop at nothing to get the children.
what I don’t understand is how an EUA can get on a schedule.
I just saw Brandon’s press Secretary take credit for 10 million jobs created since he took office.
Most know those jobs are just people getting back to work after Covid shutdowns.
What I’m wondering is the comparison between jobs created in States like Florida that didn’t shut down completely and New York which isn’t even back off mandates yet. I’m thinking there’s proof very few actual new jobs were created and those numbers are just people finally getting out from under governments thumb.
Amen.
Amen.

✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
