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 †

I’m goyim!
But!
I’ve been “grafted in”.
See Romans 11 and Ezekiel 37. These passages are great news for modern forgiven sinners like me!
Yeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaww! ✝️
Good morning bro! 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
Good morning, G, on this crispy crisp Saturday. Brrrrr…sweater time. Had a much needed day of rain yesterday, but oh those terrible winds. Towns east and north of us didn’t fare well. Terrible anytime, but with the cold front which was ushered through, it’s a disaster for them. Prayers that the same community spirit which appeared for Ian’s victims will show willing. It is Texas. I’ve no doubt it will happen.
Hope you are well. Blessings always for you, your lovely wife and her sister, your mum, the birthday girl just past Violet, Nipper and his folks, my dear brother.🙏😘
Almost forgot!!!!!
“Remember, Remember the fifth of November!!”
Bonfire night tonight in the UK!! Guy Fawkes Day, in honour of his failed attempt to blow up Parliament. He paid a gruesome price.
I’m betting more than a few modern Brits would like to honour him by having another go. Britain has been handed over to the globalists, plus a globalist King who entertains the PM Sunak, a deep globalist…with gusto. I’ve seen the pictures.
A globalist victory for a once proud country with an empire now withered away to a small green idolizing backwater.
Did I mention that globalists now own Britain?? I believe I did.
Where is Guy Fawkes when you need him??
That’s my sis with hammer pen. Go girl!
I don’t know what got into me today, Frank. Post, post, post…letting it all out. Mungrel named me right…LBT…and of course always Bet NM. Blessings, brother😘
Good afternoon dear Bet!
Very sorry for the folks having to endure that. 🙏🏻
This morning was crispy 45 here and sunny.
I remember the 5 of November this year for a different reason. It is opening day. Been out all morning without luck. Back in the blind now. ❤️😘
Phooey…I bet is quite peaceful there…all the better to appreciate the beauty of your surroundings.😘
Sure is, those bucks are chasing after the does like crazy.
More for next year then, if you just leave one or two of each.😁
And most of the does have”headaches “. 😁
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

hi there, Le❤n
Howdy Patience 🙂
Maybe waiting for a rabbit to pounce on 😉
Hello, Jay.
Do rabbits carry hammers?
Oh… sorry,… pounce not pound 😁
I’d like to walk down there….. and stop and sit a little while.
Thanks for the benches. For some time a lady would publish weekly “Benches” from venues through out the globe here on the Open Thread. Thanks to her for the memories.
Always on Monday…Bench Monday…I remember her well from my lurking days.
Something as mundane as a bench, something one wouldn’t normally notice. But every single one was fascinating either in its construction or in its setting. I wish I could remember her name…
I faintly remember her posts also.
When I saw that bench, it struck a memory chord for me. Then Ray above solidified it.
that was Lucille …. wasn’t it?
It was, dreamboat annie!!!! Thank you!! And shame on me for forgetting it…it was my maternal grandmother’s name.
Yikes ! Should have read further before posting !
I was So Happy to see Leon and then be reminded of Lucille by Jay that I lost my wits and just posted away !
Please forgive 😊
And a Pleasant Caturday
to All 🐱💐🥰
🤗 Nothing to forgive, RyderLee. I’m guilty of doing the same on occasions, and for the same reason. Off I go with my comment before reading further.
And also like you, I was thrilled to see Leon. And thanks to Ray… remembered with fondness Lucille’s beautiful benches, in part because that was my introduction to a leafy place I really do consider home.😊
That was Lucille !
She showed us some Awesome Benches !
Sometimes Leon’s Cats are on Benches Also , Love Those Pictures 😊
Lucille of Idaho who once worked in Los Angeles.
Wow, Sepp. Well remembered. We all, I think, fashion in our minds, what friends whose faces we don’t know, but whose hearts we do know well, look like. This gives context to a woman who gave us such a gift with her beautiful, and (really) magical photos of those benches. Thank you for that extra information. I pray she is well and knows her contributions are much missed.
Lucille shared astute observations about contemporary issues that were always delivered with courtesy and civility and humor. She appreciated very much a certain series of Orthodox meditations, as she put it, that I used to type.
At the time I found this Tree, Sepp, I hadn’t yet read the comments in depth, more’s the pity. I’m sorry I missed that. Thank you for expanding on her valuable contributions, which I know you appreciated. I’m sure you miss her as well. I’m sorry she’s still not here.
Oh ! The Benches !
Loved Lucille’s Benches when she posted them 😊
Thanks Jay and Happy Bench Caturday 💐
I used to forward those bench pics to my daughter–Happy Bench Monday–have a great week! I miss it
Happy Caturday, Leon.
Look at those gorgeous eyes!!😍
Leon! Glad to see you back! Been thinking about you and praying for you.
Glad you’re back Leon.
Remember Pepe LaPue?🦨
The only place they get raked from at my place is out of the river rock border and flower beds around the house. And those don’t get picked up or burned but get blown into the yard where they get mulched by the mower with the rest of them. Today is mulching day if the wind settles down. Right now it is more or less roaring through the trees at 35 mph with gusts near 60. The wind chimes are putting out a steady tune.
Getting them out of the rock and flower beds waits until spring because there will just be more blown in before it’s all said and done because some of the maples and the oak to the south drop their leaves late and are usually still dropping when the first snow comes.
Fall colors up here in Indiana are now muted but I would be they are still in full bloom down in Tennesse where I’ll be Sunday and Monday.
Now, to consider, keeping leaves & letting them rot into soil is another layer of Carbon Sequestration !!!
Amusing, before this it was God’s plan for His earth.
Trees & Leaves: Trees are fed by what they let go of.
Garden & Be Well………….
💖
We have studied leaf recycling and fully agree. We mulch leaves and recover lots of aged mulch each year also.
We have a landscape biz and a tree service, so we handle lots of dirt, rock, etc.
FYI: We enjoy sharing our extras. Sometimes we barter with people who want our stash of compost. ✝️
No way I can mulch today. Wind is even stronger and we’re getting a bit of rain. It is a dreary windy fall day here at my central Indiana home. We will however move and cover our glider swing for the winter today.
🙋♀️Hi , Leon !
Beautiful Kitty as always 😊
Thank You !
Wishing You a Lovely , Restful Caturday Leon 🤠
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Mornin’ jay 🙂
🙂
moo oon tan 😅🤣😂
humm dinger
~OH MY!
Morning, Patience and Ma, Garrison, and Mr jay! I can’t decide if I’m late or early. Blessings to all💕
Morning, Betsy
~☕ decaf?
Cat must a been on the counter `again. Teapot is missing.
Oh my goodness no!!😁 Up early now for some reason… maybe because clocks change tonight, so as per usual, I’ll be all over the place getting adjusted…need the full whack. Caffeine, please, if you have any.
Good cloudy and windy morning, Betsy!
Hope this Gevalia breakfast tea is satisfactory.
-🫖
Most delightful, Dahling! How generous a hostess are you?😘
Morning girls!
Patience put the teapot in the fridge by mistake 🤭
It turned white 🫖
LOLing…………….. !!!!
~prolly where the car keys are too😮😲
Hello there, Cat ❣
Morning yourself, Cat.🤗 I’ve put some things in strange places before as well…ahhhhh, there it is!
Remember my mother liked to put her purse in the oven on purpose to hide it from thieves. If it were me, I’d end up with cooked purse 🙂 So glad to see Leon today. The eyes on the kitty are quite pretty.
Hahaha!!! I probably would as well, Sunrei. She and I may be two halves of a whole.
I did lose a nice top I loved…for months I looked for that thing, even in places that seemed absurd. Then one day I opened a never used lower kitchen cabinet and there it was…all washed and folded. In the one absurd place I never considered.
To this day, I can only claim I had other things on my mind. Well, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it!😉
lol!
Mornin’ bet. Tired. Going to bed in a little while . . . 🙂
I hope it was a restful sleep, my friend💕 Something that is more elusive as the years go by. I’m remembering thinking when I was a child with a regimented bedtime how glorious it would be to stay up as late as I’d want…even all night (!!!)…when I became an adult. The things we think when young…
Thanks, Bet. Solid 8 hrs for a change. Anxiety and depression are enemies of meaningful rest. This time I slept like a baby. 🙂
I know about anxiety…you are right. And so when sleep finally has its way with you, it really is a blessing. I’m so glad you were able to get a full 8 hours. Wonderful…so good to hear🤗
Maidin Mhaith Betsy 🙂
❤️ leaving God voice mails..
He always answers!!!!
Truly.
Yes. No. …or wait. ✝️
Amen! ✝️
“The Dangerous Duty of Delight”
A great work by John Piper.
Hope someone here buys it.
Well, most national church denominations receive funds for helping illegal immigrants enter our country….so probably.
They’re independent, but yes, many do.
So hurtful! 👍
Many, through shutting their doors or degrading their congregations (separating them according to vaxxxx status), failed their flocks. Nothing of the terrible things we have seen or experienced in the last 3 years, shocked or horrified me more than this…His House where all are beckoned to come to worship Him, slamming their doors in the faces of so many, most needing the warmth and comfort of the Holy Spirit during times we never thought to see in this now benighted country.
I wasn’t aware of that. He’s lost his luster with me for a few reasons also, but many of his books are classics.
I suspect my clay feet 🦶 are more stinky than his clay feet.
Thank you for informing me of this. ✝️
One more . . .
Howdy Garrison 🙂
Need some rain we’ve got plenty!
Hi, Garrison ~my man❣
Niiiiiiii ce.
-me thinks good sleep will be had, thanks.
My thoughts exactly. I’m a southern boy (aka redneck . . .) so A little Henry McKenna sippin’ whisky combined with Jim Hall’s jazz (I especially like All Across The City) is a traditional, very Faulknerian, way to help move along to a good night’s sleep.
I find Wild Turkey does the same but I’ll have to expand my palate.
Wild Turkey was my go to in my younger days “you are what you drink “but now it’s Makers Mark or Knob Creek. Mungrel mentioned Dead Rabbit so I’ve yet to crack open that one. 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Hot dandelion root tea with chestnut honey, a spoonful of raspberry robitussin
and your very excellent selections …..ahhhhhhhhhhh
Woke up well-rested and clear-minded
~thanks
In the UK, it was whisky, lemon, and hot water…I know this because that’s what my husband always swore by. Me? Lemsip… Lemon with a decongestant and paracetamol… Add hot water and a smidge of sugar …worked like magic.
Hi garrison, jay!!
Perhaps you might enjoy this. 😘
Rise to moon 🎶
Howdy FC 🙂 😉
Perfect night music, Cat! Thanks for posting, love. 🙂
A wonderful, mellow selection of songs to start our day… thank you, Garrison
Yep. Good for goin’ to sleep or waking up with that 2nd cup of cofee (I highly recommend Bustello).
Happy Caterday, Treepers. New kitty! 🙂
“Being at the right place and the right time”. Luck? Perhaps not. A cat should find you, it is said. Proof positive this is so. Bless its little life.💕
Garrison, it’s a toss up which is my favourite season…spring or autumn. When I see such beauty, nature with her glad rags on, I think it’s autumn. Stunning and peaceful.
Sigh. lovely scenery. But the region tends to vote for progressives. Why I stay in Texas . . . 🙂
That it does…every time I see the name Vermont, its the first thing I think of. I’m with you. Grateful to be where I am in Texas.
Spent a lot of time in the Green Mountains of Vermont and White Mountains of NH during all seasons. Hard to beat New England for fall colors but I would say the Smokies come pretty darn close. The drive through the Gorge on I-40 in Eastern TN is a fall treat. But man it can get trying when your going someplace and get behind a bus full of leaf lookers.
Rubber neckers we called them in the UK. Especially if passing accidents on the motorway. They’d slow to nothing…and the traffic would pile up behind them.
Yep. Drives me a little nuts too. Fortunately I have enough hp to take advantage those very brief openings that allow passing.
Niiiiiice. I went to college in Lynchburg.
We used to take our littles to Elon during Fall apple season, then hit the AT. 🙌
FOR ALL THE SAINTS
After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”
All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying:
“Amen!
Praise and glory
and wisdom and thanks and honor
and power and strength
be to our God for ever and ever.
Amen!”
Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”
I answered, “Sir, you know.”
And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
— Revelation 7:9-14
1. For all the saints, who from their labors rest,
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blessed.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
2. Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
3. Oh may Thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor’s crown of gold.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
4. O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
5. And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave, again, and arms are strong.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
6. The golden evening brightens in the west;
Soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;
Sweet is the calm of paradise the blessed.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
7. But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day;
The saints triumphant rise in bright array;
The King of glory passes on His way.
Alleluia, Alleluia!
8. From earth’s wide bounds, from ocean’s farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia, Alleluia!
————–
Happy All Saints Day! (We always celebrate it a week later than a lot of other folks do.)
Amen 🙏
Hi 1530!
Thanks for this ❤️
Hi FC! Nice to hear from you.
Flyover, thanks for the question. I think it is an important one.
There are many Lutheran denominations, with views that have diverged sharply over the last century.
My church agrees with the pastor depicted in this little cartoon from several years back.
Flyover, you also mentioned gender and marriage. Here’s another little cartoon that addresses some of that issue.
I need to add that although these cartoons are produced by a pastor in my denomination, they are not financed or endorsed by the denomination. But I’m sure most members of its churches would agree with them.
Niiiiiice! 🙌🙏🙌
November 5 Oswald Chambers
Partakers of His Suffering
…but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings… —1 Peter 4:13
If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others. Because of this process, you will never be surprised by what comes your way. You say, “Oh, I can’t deal with that person.” Why can’t you? God gave you sufficient opportunities to learn from Him about that problem; but you turned away, not heeding the lesson, because it seemed foolish to spend your time that way.
The sufferings of Christ were not those of ordinary people. He suffered “according to the will of God” (1 Peter 4:19), having a different point of view of suffering from ours. It is only through our relationship with Jesus Christ that we can understand what God is after in His dealings with us. When it comes to suffering, it is part of our Christian culture to want to know God’s purpose beforehand. In the history of the Christian church, the tendency has been to avoid being identified with the sufferings of Jesus Christ. People have sought to carry out God’s orders through a shortcut of their own. God’s way is always the way of suffering— the way of the “long road home.”
Are we partakers of Christ’s sufferings? Are we prepared for God to stamp out our personal ambitions? Are we prepared for God to destroy our individual decisions by supernaturally transforming them? It will mean not knowing why God is taking us that way, because knowing would make us spiritually proud. We never realize at the time what God is putting us through— we go through it more or less without understanding. Then suddenly we come to a place of enlightenment, and realize— “God has strengthened me and I didn’t even know it!”
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
There is no allowance whatever in the New Testament for the man who says he is saved by grace but who does not produce the graceful goods. Jesus Christ by His Redemption can make our actual life in keeping with our religious profession.

November 5
MORNING
Take thou also unto thee principal spices, and thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment. Exo. 30:23, 25
Upon man’s flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you. Exo. 30:32
One Spirit. Eph. 4:4
Diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. I Cor. 12:4
Thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Psa. 45:7
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power. Acts 10:38
God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. John 3:34
Of his fulness have all we received. John 1:16
As the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. I John 2:27
He which … hath anointed us, is God; who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. II Cor. 1:21, 22
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Gal. 5:22, 23
EVENING
The fashion of this world passeth away. I Cor. 7:31
All the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. Gen. 5:27
Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: but the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. James 1:9-11
For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. James 4:14
The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. I John 2:17
LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. Psa. 39:4
When they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. I Thess. 5:3, 4

Whatever you do in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus. – Colossians 3:17
Keys and access codes are a quiet but powerful force in your life. If you do not have the right one for your car, garage, phone, gym locker, laptop, or bank account, you are not getting in, and it can certainly be frustrating. The same is true in your spiritual life. The fundamentals of faith as taught in Scripture are what unlock a Christ-centered life.
As you yield to the Spirit living in your heart, gratitude becomes the basis for walking with God. “The one who offers thanksgiving as his sacrifice glorifies me” (Psalm 50:23). As you cultivate thankfulness in the simplest, regular components of your day, humility naturally develops. A humble outlook opens possibilities for God to do work in ways you could never achieve on your own: “To the scorners he is scornful, but to the humble he gives favor“ (Proverbs 3:34). As gratitude and humility pervade your thoughts, God’s grace will define your actions.
A tale-tale sign of the person walking in the spirit of Christ is the acknowledgment of God’s great goodness in the past. Not surprisingly, that remembrance naturally leads one back to gratitude, which again develops a bit of humility, that again reflects upon the goodness of God… it is a feedback loop of faith!
“Solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil” (Hebrews 5:14). Dedicate yourself to unlocking the blessings of a maturing faith. Pray that those in positions of authority in America will embrace a grateful and meek attitude, focused on Christ and walking humbly with God.

Biden Goes Off-Script During Speech and Makes Vow Likely to Start World War 3 If He Follows Through (westernjournal.com)
What a weak, ineffective, insincere message the US ambassador to the UN delivers. Typical of regimes such as we are now. Think of Michelle Obama holding up her ridiculous little sign in aid of who, I can’t remember. I’m surprised taxpayer funded cards “We Stand With the Women of Iran” weren’t at the ready to hold up for the cameras.
What is happening there now is horrible. Women and men dying to free themselves from a murderous theocracy. Tried before in hopes the US would lend support, Obama ignored it completely. Couldn’t afford to upset his friends, the mullahs.
If the Iranian regime falls, which I pray for the sake of its people it does, I suspect it will be its neighbours who will make it happen. Both Jews and Arabs for once acting in concert on an existential threat to them all from an odious death cult.
A good article.

Can’t wait…yes…sarc. And right on all counts. (Love the sundial😊)
Rather than lament her incredibly serious situation, this woman is intent on helping others through her story. People talk about being “brave” on social media to the point of nausea, but this is what “brave” really looks like. Man, I hope she makes it.
“Brave” and “hero” are two words wrongly and inappropriately used, especially in the UK, for so many actions or situations.
This is not one of those times.
Denied a mammogram?!?
Why? It’s money in the grubby pockets of medics who never miss a chance to wring every last cent out of people who are facing their worst moments. I’d expect this type of story in the UK with their “Envy of Their World” Socialist National Health Service. It happens every single day there (waiting lists to be seen by the way are sitting another a horrid 7 million people).
And yes, when I lived there, that’s exactly how the NHS was described. My description was “not fit for purpose”. Worshipped by all who were and continue to be at its mercy.
I fear California’s callous system is what is headed for us all.
May Almighty God, our Great Healer, shower her with His mercy in her fight again at this horrible disease🙏. Brave is the right word.
…I had to read the tweet again, thinking this young woman was in the UK, her circumstances being not uncommon in the ashes of a once great country. Tragic.

One area at a time. I suspect the day will come when those following us will look with horror and wonder how in this world this depraved practice of mutilation was ever allowed to occur, with the support of a debauched government and the once trusted “medical” community. Barbaric.

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.

Keeping an eye on what is happening with central banks:

Praying for peace and strength during the next few days and ensuing months.
Read this one when it was posted. Pray absolutely for strength and wisdom. We will need both. The global monsters, which include central bankers in thrall to hideously wicked forces, are planning their decades long plans to come to fruition before we all realize what they’ve been up to. This is the denouement before the axe is lowered. Put on the armour of God and keep the faith🙏
Art goes mobile in London:
“Art” installation…ghastly!
I think it looked pretty cool, but was even more interesting rolling down a main London street.
To each his own, Winston. What appeals to one may not to another. That’s what makes the world go around and that’s a very good thing. It certainly was performance art, making its way down the streets. It would be interesting to know how it was designed. Sometimes that aspect is the most interesting part. 😊
…and a thing I didn’t think of until now (shame on me twice)…poor, poor artist watching the art he worked on for so long and took pride in tumbling down the street. Must have been soul destroying.
I did not then, and still don’t understand how Massachusetts became such a leftist nutter land. I was stationed at Ft. Devens, MA for 5 1/2 years and it was far left back then. The hot bed of the Revolution, the Tea Party, the Boston Massacre, the Liberty Tree, the Sons of Liberty, the Shot Heard Around the World. And during the Civil war no state was more fervently abolitionist.
And yet when we presented the colors on the ice for a Boston Bruins Hockey game we were heckled.
Well now the leftist wackos in that state are going to get a taste of what they’ve been voting for all these years.
A whole lot of homes are heated with fuel oil up there and it is already being rationed. and

1st thing, every Saturday!!
The best day for Powerline. There was a commenter there once upon a time by the name of Tito Puraw, who posted such good ones they made him a contributor for that thread. I’ll look for his, of us is still there.
I haven’t visited it in a long time. Thank you for providing the link!😘

Good day everyone. We have done a great job with everything here and now we have the election forthcoming shortly.
There will be much more torrential effects coming next week that will be difficult to endure. As we witness the manipulations of the votes, the very jaws of hell will gape open the mouth.
But, I wish to dedicate a song to all of you, on this day, as we move forward to the massive red wave:

Very Excellent episode!
Hope Sundance posts this up as a separate article today..
While surfing the channels last night for a Cowboy movie I haven’t yet seen, I came across a movie called,” Edge of Darkness.”
I thought it might be a film noir but turned out to be about the battle the common Norwegians waged against the Nazis during WWll.
I recommend it as it is relevant for today in how the Nazis just marched in to take over all facets of the people’s lives but the people gave no consent to the tyranny.
The actors are top-notch starring, Errol Flynn, Ann Sheridan, Walter Huston and a younger Ruth Gordon. This is the first movie I’ve seen where Ruth Gordon was under 70.

Could that someone on the cover resemble someone we know?😉
Hi Betsy! Thanks, kit alerted me..too…
No not resemblance to anyone. Just a statement on a mundane life. That’s all.. ❤️
I’m remembering, I think, some sheep shearing going on Down Under…😘
Just a reminder. Vote count when the polls closed during the 2020 selection.

Hi Bet our Treehouse treasure!
I meant to get back to you from the other day when you and Landslide were kind enough to leave nice comments about me.
A few years back during a different job I had kinda temporarily I meet allot of people, most of course were very nice. I meet a lady whose son was involved with Highland games. She invited me into her kitchen and we spoke for a while. It was like she was a long lost cousin of mine/aunt. Her hospitality,grace, politeness, and sheer warmth reminded me of my own family. In a way she reminds me of you. Always appreciate you Bet, and I am sure that goes for many of us here on the Treehouse
Wales (in fantasy)
Oh my, my dear friend. How lovely is that?? There is a place in my heart where I keep lovely treasures like yours, Colkitto. That means the world to me, you have no idea.
So she was a Scot? They really are such lovely people who truly know what heartfelt hospitality is. They give of themselves to such an extent, it is hard to remember you aren’t really a part of the family…though you could be forgiven for wishing it were so.
Those drawings are so evocative of the home I physically left, but still in every way remains with me every single day. Bless you for this gift… this has absolutely made my day! What a treasure you are and a friend I value so much. Thank you, thank you😘
You are the best Bet! All who know you are lucky indeed! One of the greatest blessings for me on the Treehouse is your friendship and reading your posts.
You also make me try to be a better poster as I sometimes get caught up in everyday life and when talking to my ex-military/ex-pat friends. Sometimes it gets harsh. I use you as an example to be more gracious though I fall far short of your monumental grace.
Excellent book series I read as a kid. Joan Aiken. Great author
You do not fall short…I’ve learned so much from you through your educated and researched posts. And it is always such a lift for me to “run into you”. I think I can safely say you keep me smiling, and I do so much appreciate that.
Love the cover of that book! My 8 year old grand triplets and their 10 year old sister, also an avid reader would love that. Illustrations are so important to me, and that one looks as if it might be full of them. The best ones I still feel come from Britain. Simply magical and so detailed. I will recommend her for the crew with great pleasure. God keep you safe, Colkitto. And thank you again for your treasured friendship.😘

The sky is beautiful and kind of weird here. As the rear of the squall line of the front is passing to the west are clear skies and the sunset. At the same time the wind is still blowing out of the south at 30 gusting to 50 mph. There is a pink tint to everything from the weird lighting.
I am getting ready to grill those steaks and it is still blowing like crazy. No matter, it just takes a little longer for the grill to heat up.
Amen.
Amen
Amen…
Amen🙏
Amen.
Amen.
✝️ Lord, thank You for the day. Amen.
