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 †

“His Majesty, Emporer Clawdius”
A veritable cornucopia of truth and hope. It’s all here in this beautiful devotional. What more do we need? All glory be to God and His beloved Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.

Mornin’ jay :-0
Good morning, Garrison. Hope there is a coffee with friends scheduled for you this Saturday.🙏💕
Mornin’ Bet. Alas, no. Lunch with friends tomorrow, however. 🙂
Ah, something to look forward to, which holds.(for me at least) as much joy as the event itself. Doubling the pleasure. What could be better?😘
Happy Caterday, Treepers. Pet your kitties for me! 🙂
Spot on analysis of the relationship between a car (or cats) and humans. When you go to the shelter, you don’t pick the cat, the cat literally picks you. (Trust me on that one)
Yep. Sometimes you get the cat, sometimes the cat gets you . . . For years and years all of our kitties were foundlings who just showed up and then stayed. At one point our feline companions were 7 in number. All got along just fine with our dogs. I think they decided our puppies were just funny looking cats . . . 🙂
😂…same with our Jack Russell Penny, a dog alone amongst untold cats which “adopted” us. She was definitely an honorary cat.
Tis true, benzy. “A cat should find you” was a truth I picked up when I was living in the Welsh countryside. And, oh brother, did they ever!! The cat telegraph there was humming, and we became home for so many who knew a good thing when they saw one (us). We loved them all.
Back-in-the-day our smallest little kitty routinely slept on top of my head during really cold nights. Deal with it. 🙂

Canada’s Green New Deal: “To Hell with That” (Premier Moe speaks)
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2022/11/17/
canadas-green-new-deal-to-hell-with-that
-premier-moe-speaks/
There will be no “strong and vibrant” Canada as long as Son of Castro and his cohorts are taking a chainsaw to her roots.
It seems that along with the anti human green cult agenda, the eugenics programme (the beastly jab and government encouraged and abetted suicide by the masses), Canada is headed towards a grisly end.
Having said that, there are signs of hope… refusals by Premiers such as Moe and especially Danielle Smith in Alberta to fall in line and do what they are told by the excrescence that (not who) was installed as PM by Satan’s chief acolyte Schwab.
I pray their bold stances are contagious for other Premiers.
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Good morning, Mr jay💕 A little taste of everything in your selections today. Sweet!

Unrealistic Net Zero Policies Cost Families Dearly – Watts Up With That?
Friday morning at 04:30 I got up and cleaned the ash out of the insert and restarted a fire in it. I dumped the ash in my fire pit and the deadfall it was loaded with caught fire when the wind really picked up and fanned the hot coals.
Because of the wind I stood out there an hour making sure the sparks did not start a fire down wind from the pit.
I laid back down at 7:30 figuring I would catch a couple more hours sleep. It was not to be. Josh called at 08:20 and needed me. Driver had called off his milkrun and it was already 1/2 late. I didn’t bother to shave. I got dressed while Sherry made me coffee to take.
I left the yard with the load 1 1/4 hour behind time. Stops in Louisville and Sonora, KY and Jefferson, IN.
While at Louisville Josh called and said I didn’t have to go to Sonora. So I went straight to Jefferson and found out they didn’t have a pickup either. Got back at 18:30.
Monday at 04:30 I have a run to Holland, MI and back. I’ll be watching the weather since Holland very near the east coast of Lake Michigan and subject to lake effect snows.
Got up at 01:30 this morning to let the dog out and once again cleaned out the insert and restarted the fire. It is now blowing money saving wood warmed air. It has been going pretty much constantly for the last 4 days and I am proud to be contributing to the increase in the magic global warming CO2 molecules during these cold times. I think everyone should be doing so.
If they did, according to the doomsayers, the Buffalo Bills would be playing in their own stadium this weekend.
Enormous Buffalo Snowstorm Blankets Bills’ Highmark Stadium (breitbart.com)
I’ll tell you that if I lived in an place likely to get that much snow it would be in a house with the rafters put on 10″ to 12″ centers and not the standard 18″ or even 24″ that they do now.
God morning, Rah!!! My Central IN neighbor.
Many prayers for blessings and safety on your road trips to bring precious cargo to its intended populace. Saving a milk run. Awesome!
Glad there was no fire spread and that you and Sherry are nice and warm. May it always be so.
Morning rah…what I wouldn’t give to return to our coal fires in Wales. The heat!! We were always toasty warm.
We had an insert which allowed us to “shut it down” before we retired for the night. Kept the coals hot so that in the morning, we’d open the bottom, throw a little more on top, and soon we had lovely flames atop the warmth giving glowing coal below. Its worth repeating g…I really really do miss those fires.
I remember going to town with my grandfather to get a load of coal in the trunk of his 50 something Plymouth. He had a cast iron stove in the middle of the house that he would feed with big hunks of the stuff. Eventually, the family got him a Warm Morning gas stove, be he always said a cast iron coal stove just felt warmer.
He wasn’t wrong, Vibeman.
One of the first memorable things I remember when moving to Wales, was walking down the street and smelling it coming from all the chimneys. Not unpleasant, and it came to be a familiar, dare I say comforting, smell.
Rah, what do you use to carry ashes out to firepit? If you find this helpful, we use a galvanized bucket (with lid) to store ashes for a cooling off period before dumping outside.
I use a coal hod. Like a colander, it has a base which keeps the bottom of the bucket off the floor so the hot bottom does not burn or scorch anything. I got mine at Lowes. I dump the hot ash into my outside fire pit.
Style Selections Fireplace Coal Hod in the Fireplace Tools department at Lowes.com
I just reloaded the fire rack. When it gets down to less than about 1/4 of capacity I unloaded and set the wood that has been in it and thus warming aside. I then bring in the wood from the lean-to and load it up and then put the wood that was inside on top. It gives the new wood a bit of time to get warm and completely dry.

“When He Has Come”
When He has come, He will convict the world of sin… —John 16:8
Very few of us know anything about conviction of sin. We know the experience of being disturbed because we have done wrong things. But conviction of sin by the Holy Spirit blots out every relationship on earth and makes us aware of only one— “Against You, You only, have I sinned…” (Psalm 51:4). When a person is convicted of sin in this way, he knows with every bit of his conscience that God would not dare to forgive him. If God did forgive him, then this person would have a stronger sense of justice than God. God does forgive, but it cost the breaking of His heart with grief in the death of Christ to enable Him to do so. The great miracle of the grace of God is that He forgives sin, and it is the death of Jesus Christ alone that enables the divine nature to forgive and to remain true to itself in doing so. It is shallow nonsense to say that God forgives us because He is love. Once we have been convicted of sin, we will never say this again. The love of God means Calvary— nothing less! The love of God is spelled out on the Cross and nowhere else. The only basis for which God can forgive me is the Cross of Christ. It is there that His conscience is satisfied.
Forgiveness doesn’t merely mean that I am saved from hell and have been made ready for heaven (no one would accept forgiveness on that level). Forgiveness means that I am forgiven into a newly created relationship which identifies me with God in Christ. The miracle of redemption is that God turns me, the unholy one, into the standard of Himself, the Holy One. He does this by putting into me a new nature, the nature of Jesus Christ.
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
We have no right to judge where we should be put, or to have preconceived notions as to what God is fitting us for. God engineers everything; wherever He puts us, our one great aim is to pour out a whole-hearted devotion to Him in that particular work. “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.”

MORNING
By their fruits ye shall know them. Matt. 7:20
Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. I John 3:7
Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. James 3:11-13
Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. I Pet. 2:12
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by his fruit. Matt. 12:33
A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. Matt. 12:35
What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Isa. 5:4
EVENING
I will make the place of my feet glorious. Isa. 60:13
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Isa. 66:1
Will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth! Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built! II Chron. 6:18
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; and I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts. Hag. 2:6, 7, 9
I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. Rev. 21:1, 3

Truly I understand that God shows no partiality. – Acts 10:34
Justice is a characteristic of God and a core concept for governing in the Bible—“righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you” (Psalm 89:14). Along with His justice, God’s characteristics of love and faithfulness make Him the perfect Judge of all things. Here on Earth, God allows people to hold positions of authority requiring the judgment of others.
Because of sin, no human can rightly judge another. Humanity is inclined toward what is morally wrong rather than what is righteous and just. Without Christ, justice is an improbable outcome in human interactions. Through Christ, the Spirit of God leads those who have the responsibility to judge others to make decisions that honor Him and help people.
By accepting the righteousness of Christ, you can come out of the place of self-righteous judgment toward others. One must draw near to the heart of the Lord in order to enact His justice. Godly faith, put into action brings His goodness into reality on Earth: “Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely” (Proverbs 28:5).
Pray for the judges and justices in American courts to adopt a humble position before God, submitting themselves and their work to Him through His Son Jesus Christ. Ask that decisions made in the nation’s highest court reflect God’s justice rather than human wisdom.

Almost all of the teaching of Jesus centers around four interconnected themes: righteous justice, honesty in business, devotion to God, and love for each other.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
Good morning, dear duchess. I’m really feeling these wonderful passages today. Very comforting…beautifully chosen🙏💕
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.

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:”
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
Mornin’ all!
Following on from the destruction of the Gustav Klimt painting by people (?) who have no appreciation of beauty (only their petty self centred world), this is brilliant.
Nasty……..downright nasty…..but, unfortunately true.
Yeah, but they’re too stupid to know that the Great Work is covered in glass… and their hands are glued to the wall. Ejits.
There was a time when such putrid punks would have been beaten to the pulp by a mob for destroying such timeless pieces of art. But the left has made sure the laws are such that the perps would walk and those that took retribution or were even there to see it, go to prison.
Happy “cartoons and cereal day” everyone.
have a blessed saturday.
where is feral cat? And why has she turned into a spicy jalepeno? Maybe I missed something.
I’ve been thinking she is away and has appointed someone to post in her absence. Nevertheless, Slowcobra…🙏🙏🙏
So, if you get emails from Linkedin, you will see the jeremiads from not only ex Twitter employees, but ex META employees. I am trying not to drown myself in schadenfreude, but, it could go either way.
They are all pretty much the same. Hagiographies to Tom, Dick, Muhhamed Keisha, Tyrone and Jaun concerning their recent contributions to the diversity Strum & Drang culture that made their respective companies successful.
This is typical – A guy (?) whose job title is (No kiddin), “Belonging Architect/Inclusion Whisperer”. He (He looks like a guy, but, his pronouns are “we”, “They” “Them” – don’t ask me…) was, “… a company architect of diversity and a force for other teams that benefitted and compensated immensely more than themselves.”
You can tell that Zuckerberg stole FacsistBook. It’s like he stole the Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club album from the Beatles, rode it for years, then, when it came time to write his own songs, it was “Ice Ice Baby” (META).
Thousands and thousands of these comments are on line, from vapid, inane, liberal lemmings, who now, will find themselves gainfully employed cleaning the sneeze shield at the local pizza joint.
Essentially, they all worked for each other, keeping as eye on each other, to make sure no one used the wrong pronouns. A circular firing squad that targets and cancels anyone who breaks from the “narrative”. They get paid for this.
They can’t actually DO anything.
My wife and I just saw the first two episodes of Season 3 of The Chosen in the movie theater. Wow, absolutely blown away by how moving it was. They’ve improved on the first two seasons, which were excellent. If you get a chance, go see it on the big screen!
Calbear84…. we LOVE “The Chosen” series. Bought the first two seasons, and then bought them again and again and gave to friends! Highly recommend. We were going to try to wait until it comes online, but your post put us over the edge. To the movies, we go!
Sooner or later the whole truth will come out.

Interesting that, in perusing the main page, I notice that the comments #’s are way down.
Typically we see over 1000 comments per article, and we’re down to 200-300.
Just wondering,…am I missing something, or perhaps we all are still digesting recent events?
It’s the same on this thread, Dutchman. We never have an overabundance of comments, but by this time we are usually over 100. Perhaps its people getting ready for Thanksgiving…
It feels lonely in this church of ours.
I thought it MIGHT be Thanksgiving, seems a tad early, as its still 6 days away.
Well, where TWO or more are gathered, HE is with us, so lets take confort in that!
We do, sir…always.
I dumped Gillette and then went to Harrys and now I am dumping them. I won’t give my business to a company that does not know the difference between a male and female and is too stupid to understand who their customer base is.
