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.

Kit*ten
Noun
A small homicidal muffin on legs; affects human sensibilities to the point of endowing the most wanton and ruthless acts of destruction with near mythical overtones of cuteness. Not recommended for beginners. Get at least two.
Once upon a time . . . At our previous residence we had, at the time,7 foundling kitties. One morning my wife was in the back yard along with several of our mostly indoor house-cats. The presence of several cats in the back yard spooked a half dozen roof rats into escaping the garage—and right into the immediate proximity of Tigger our normally very passive lap kitty.
On seeing the rats, old Tigger instantly transformed into a predator, a dedicated killing machine. In little more than a few seconds he neatly pounced on the rats, killing each with a single strategic bite which neatly severed their spinal cords. His outside work done, he then returned to the house and his usual place at the end of our couch and took his afternoon nap.
Used to have a wonderful little Chihuahua who would do that. Inside or out, she hated the critters but never ate any, just showed me where she left them.
Just doing her job, sherri . . . 🙂
Oh boy!!! What we’d call a “mouser” (or in this case a “ratter”). I hope she had a rewarding treat for sterling work done!😁 Instinct is incredible. How shocked were you, Garrison? And I’m assuming grateful as well👍
Definitely, surprised. Tigger spent most of his in-the-house time looking for a lap to curl up in or sleeping in the sun. At heart, however, most cats are pretty serious ratters.
Hi, Bet. A day without cats is like a day without sunshine.
It’s been a while since I’ve commented here; just haven’t had much to say. I am now retired as of a few days ago. It is strange to suddenly have so much free time on my hands. I can still work prn if I choose to.
Fall weather here is gorgeous. Very colorful. I sleep better in the cooler weather. Yay, I don’t have to set my alarm or watch the clock so much anymore.
If I remember correctly, Stephen King said that cats were “gangsters of the animal kingdom” in one of his older novels (Pet Sematary). I’m not sure about his comment. Stephen King wrote some scary stories, but in my opinion, that guy was kind of weird.
Anyways, have a good weekend.
Oh joy, Joe!!! There you are!! I’ve been watching out for you for weeks, wondering if you are all right. I have missed you….truly.
Retired? It will be quite a change, but once when you find a routine I hope you’ll find it peaceful. My goodness, last time I “saw” you, we were trying to make it through a blistering summer…and now here we are trying to stay warm.
I also hope you’ve been lurking at least. Although I do know what you mean by not having anything to say. There are days for me when my brain seems to go flat. But as soon as I start reading the threads, I see someone comment and all of a sudden I find something to say, even just a few words.
And it is amazing…once I make that one comment or reply, I feel my day improves immediately.
How is your wife? I’ve thought a lot about her as well and have offered prayers for you both. And your animals?
You need to know that absent you may have been, dear sir, but you have not been gone from my thoughts. This site is essential for me and keeps my brain going. Even if it is just to say good morning, I hope we’ll see more of you. I mean that most sincerely.💕
Hi Bet. I have been lurking off and on. I’ve always enjoyed reading the comments posted here. There is a lot to learn from all here in the Treeper community. What I’ve been watching most of the time are the events taking place in the Ukraine. Wow. Stephen King novels are nothing compared to what’s happening over there.
My wife took a bad fall a few days ago and ended up in ICU for a few hours. She has some bruises on her face, a black eye, and some stitches above her left eye. She seems to be ok for now. Apparently she tried to climb out of her bed and hit her head on the tile floor. She now has a fall pad and I’m spending more time with her. I bring her cheeseburgers and fries when I visit her. She wolfs them down; I guess that’s a good indicator that she’s ok. They do serve decent meals at the nursing home, but she loves them cheeseburgers.
Maybe I’ll wipe the dust off my guitar and start plinking again. It’s been a while. It’s an acoustic, not an electric, so the neighbors will be spared from my efforts to play again.
And yes, you’ll hear more from me; it’s going to an interesting winter. Dogs and cats are doing ok.
I am so sorry for your wife’s fall. Bless her heart. It’s an awful shock to know one is going down, and it takes only a second. I fell one Christmas Eve in front of Krogers 8 years ago. Badly broken wrist which is fine now. But I remember thinking, well, I’m going, and not anything I could done them stop it.
Thank goodness her injuries didn’t include broken bones. 🙏 How thoughtful are you…cheeseburgers and fries. I’d pass up what was being served for those as well. Treats are so important to keep that quality of life going. We all must have something to look forward to.
YES…do start playing. Garrison, as you, know has an affinity for guitars, and stories aplenty. You must check every day for his musical posts.
An interesting winter is an understatement. It will most certainly be that. But let’s pray they will be interesting more and more in the favour of Christians and others who love this country…
God bless you, Joe, and your wife. I’m looking forward to seeing you more🙏😘
I’m glad your wrist healed; that must have been very painful after the fall. Ouch. Did you slip on ice?
I do listen to some of the posts whether they’re instrumentals or various bands playing. Garrison posts some good stuff.
I guess you saw the news about Christine McVie passing away? She was a long time member of Fleetwood Mac before Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the band.
Blessings to you, Bet. I’m just flipping back and forth from this site to Gonzalo Lira’s latest roundtable discussion on events in the Ukraine, etc. He has some interesting guests on his show, if you can put up with some of his, uh, colorful language.
Laughed so hard!

Cats know how to chillax. Afternoon Bet! Busy day here. Had a new fridge delivered, moved the old one to the cottage, bunch of cleaning involved. Have to wait until late afternoon to load the new fridge. i envy that cat. 🙂
Hahaha!!! I’ll bet you do😂. Remember…lift with your legs, dear sir. At least you have some good if chilly weather for your chores (I hope!) 😘
All done without heavy lifting. Dollies work miracles. Elizabeth loves the new fridge and so do I. Finally loaded it up and now I’m enjoying my comfy bed. It was quite interesting reassembling the shelves of the old fridge in the cottage but we managed to figure it out, PTL! Insert a heart emoji here :).
Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Mornin’ jay 🙂
Good morning, Mr jay. A boardwalk I would enjoy strolling on very much…🤗
Picture just around the bend a small bench where this awaits 🙂
Ooooooo!! I’m on my way! I just knew there had to be a bench in there somewhere😁…..I’m shrinking daily so it sounds just my size💕
Afternoon jay!
Howdy Gramps! 🙂
…and man, ever the arrogant fool, thinks he can control the weather and the climate…
…. but he can certainly damage them. If all mankind would just understand that God IS in ALL creation – every particle, molecule, atom, planet, sun and galaxy. Every living thing is “alive” solely by the “breath of life”, the divine spirit of God. Now when a person understands that everything we see, taste, smell, touch and hear is God given AND a part of God himself, it automatically becomes very clear that we as humans are to treat ALL life, and every particle that supports it with the respect and dignity accorded to the Creator Himself.
So beautifully stated, Oldspeak. I have nothing to add to that. Except this…God’s patience seems to be infinite. Glory to God in the Highest.
And all blessings to you always…
Oh, well two more . . .
Have a good and blessed night, Treeper friends . . . 🙂
Blessings Garrison 🙂
You, too friend 🙂
Thank you for highlighting Lyle Lovett, a true treasure of a singer/songwriter. He really can’t be easily categorized his songs blend so many styles of music and his lyrics are incredibly unique.
Here is another song of his, one of my favorites… a simple waltz about those in his family who are no longer here
Nice, Garrison. I like his voice. He was quite ill recently I believe. Hoping he has fully recovered. Oh… And good morning to you, my friend😉💕
Mornin’ Bet, Mornin’ benzy (great choice btw). I think he might have suffered from a stroke, but I’m not sure. Surely wish him well. I think he’s right up there with Guy and Townes who were just about a generation ahead of him and all of whom celebrated the richness and uniqueness of Texas culture. When he traveled with his Large Band, I never missed a performance when he came to town. listening to his music makes me glad that I live where I live.
He is, and I hope will continue to be, a supremely talented singer and performer. While I can’t put my finger on why, there is just something about his voice that appeals to me. I bookmarked his “If I Needed You” which you posted a while back. Alone among all who have recorded it, his performance is my absolute favourite.
“If I Needed You” was one of of Townes’ early songs. He was writing these when we were friends in our early 20’s . . . before he became famous. Those scenes in “Heartworn Highways” are always poignant because they were only a few years after we went our separate ways. 🙂
That’s a shame your roads diverged. But for a little while your paths crossed, and because they did and yours crossed mine, I have a beautiful song to keep and listen to, which I really love so much. I doubt very much I would have heard it otherwise…and that’s special for me.🤗
Just got back from a long, thoroughly comfortable lunch with old friends—bless ’em.
Thinking about Lyle’s medical problems, I went back and listened the This Old Porch several times. This is one of my favorite songs of his, largely because it is based on some facts. The porch was in College Station near the A&M campus, the owner was an old rancher who Robert Earl Keen, Lyle’s roommate , occasionally worked for. As I listened to it for the last of several times, I realized something: When Lyle writes these songs, he’s giving us anthems about Texas. That’s what makes them so special.
Let’s hope he has a complete recovery. We need to keep him around a bit more. 🙂
As long as we can, my friend. He really is a Texas boy…and has written so many songs that tell the truth of it. Wasn’t he married to Julia Roberts for about 5 seconds? I seem to remember…
…and I am SO GLAD for your sociable afternoon. Friends really are life’s best treasures. Hope Tue food was as good as the comraderie 😉
Good afternoon Garrison!
Hi’ya, Gramps. Just returned from a real good lunch with some old friends. 🙂
that great! Had a late lunch but that’s because we’ve been playing musical refrigerators all morning long. 😂

“Not by Might nor by Power”
My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power… —1 Corinthians 2:4
If in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, you hinder people from getting to reality. Take care to see while you proclaim your knowledge of the way of salvation, that you yourself are rooted and grounded by faith in God. Never rely on the clearness of your presentation, but as you give your explanation make sure that you are relying on the Holy Spirit. Rely on the certainty of God’s redemptive power, and He will create His own life in people.
Once you are rooted in reality, nothing can shake you. If your faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith. But nothing can ever change God or the reality of redemption. Base your faith on that, and you are as eternally secure as God Himself. Once you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, you will never be moved again. That is the meaning of sanctification. God disapproves of our human efforts to cling to the concept that sanctification is merely an experience, while forgetting that even our sanctification must also be sanctified (see John 17:19). I must deliberately give my sanctified life to God for His service, so that He can use me as His hands and His feet.

Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. – Isaiah 7:14
What were you doing at age 20? A young 20-year-old man named Ahaz in 735 BC was ascending the throne to reign as king in the ancient land of Judah. While his father had been a man of faith, Ahaz was not. His unwise leadership brought spiritual and physical destruction upon the people and their nation. He was facing defeat and likely death, when God’s prophet, Isaiah, brought him a beautiful message of God’s mercy, wrapped up in a promise that God Himself would be the nation’s rescue, and a child would be the sign of it.
Isaiah’s words to Ahaz were fulfilled in 731 BC. The gospel writer Matthew, inspired by the Spirit of God, picks up Isaiah’s words, illuminating the minds of his readers to God’s grand plan. That plan was not only for the deliverance of the house of David during Ahaz’s reign but also for rescuing the entire world. Both would be signaled by the birth of a son.
Immanuel means “God with us” and, through Isaiah, God tells people across all ages, caught in every form of evil and bound by earthly powers, to hang on. He will Himself be a sure rescuer. As King Ahaz saw his promised deliverance come to pass, God’s people will see their redemption through Jesus Christ fulfilled either in death or in His glorious return. Pray that those leading America would learn to seek the Lord and accept His ways. Ask that many will see the signs of God’s promise and find faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

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.

Thank you, Dan. And not forgetting Pastor Palowski, whose grotesque persecution shamed the government who ordered him imprisoned and tortured.
Tangentially, Zelenskyy has banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. A US and European supported despot in the mold of all such godless tyrants.
Hello Betsy,
The situation for Orthodoxy in Ukraine right now is complex and has been for a time. (You and other readers here may very well be aware of the details already.) The matter of Uniatism adds to the unhappy situation.
The Evil One stirs the passions that fuel these fires.

On the climate wars front.
The catastrophic climate change scam is based upon computer models. Models that have proven to be poor predictors of future climate. Long before the scam began it was a well established fact that as the concentration of CO2 increases its effectiveness as a greenhouse gas decreases quickly.
So to create the scam they wrote a scenario in their models where the warming caused by CO2 would cause positive feedbacks in the atmosphere that would lead to uncontrolled warming.
Of all of the feedbacks they wrote into their models one of the most important was that permanent hot spots would form in the mid to upper troposphere in the tropics due to increased evaporation driving water vapor up into the atmosphere.
To this day no permanent hotspots can be found in in the tropics. In fact the exact opposite is happening and there are cold spots seen in the mid to upper troposphere in the tropics.

The scammers don’t want to talk about that because it is solid proof that the physical models upon which the whole scam is based are trash.
This morning I was reminded again that a remarkable shift has happened to southern Ontario where I live. When windmills initially began to be proposed, our farm was slated to get one. We agreed since at the time I was young and naive. The deal fell through because nobody wanted them.
The next time windmills were slated to come, provincial powers absolutely eradicated any protests from municipal level. The windmills came. We refused on our property.
As thousands of turninea began to dot our landscape, a defining weather pattern began to develop. Extreme south winds with heavy rain.
The effects of turbines are documented.

I have driven by those monstrosities many times going back and forth on the 401. There is a truck stop at Comber where I have my border clearance documents faxed to and get a thermos filled with Tim Hortons coffee. The price per page for a fax is half the price that they charge at the Pilot at Tilbury.
Fascinating info!
If you see this post, perhaps you know more about what I’m about to say.
Got in from work yesterday afternoon, and my wife had the tv on as she was getting ready to leave. I can’t recall the station, but it was a major media outlet.
The story was about a woman who was working with industry to capture carbon at a factory. She and her team could convert it to many things. Apparently some dress is now famous as it was made from literal pollution.
They can convert carbon to ethanol, or something like it. It was used to power a jet flight.
She said that it’s possible that in the future there could be no waste as all of it could be converted to energy or products of some sort.
I was left with the distinct impression that fossil fuels could be used for power, and emissions could be captured and used for power and other products. It was, quite literally, amazing.
And the biggest thing I took away from the minute or two of info is that it would fly in the face of the green agenda, and NEVER be permitted to work as it would cost those pushing the green agenda both power and money.
I found a link about the dress, which contains more info than I thought it would…..if the link works.
If not, an internet search for “dress made from pollution” will get some results.
Here’s the link:
https://www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/this-69-little-black-dress-is-made-out-of-carbon-emissions-collected-from-steel-mills-11639433480
Found another fascinating link with more info:
https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/environment/2022/04/04/tennessee-recycling-pollution-into-new-sustainable-clothes-shoes-fossil-fules/7049524001/
The question one has to ask is how much energy does it take for the process? That is the key! So far as I know every such process they have come up with so far has required so much energy that it is self defeating.
First off let me say that I reject the whole idea that CO2 is a pollutant. That being said, there are other emissions that certainly are pollutants and finding a way to covert them to more inert forms that can be used to produce things people need would be fantastic.
However, the question one has to ask is how much energy does the process require? So far all such schemes I am aware of have been self defeating because they use too much energy for their processes.
But if they have beaten that problem than I see no reason why it would not be a win win proposition.
I thought that was the reason hydrogen gas as a fuel doesn’t really work, because it costs so much energy to make it, it is economically infeasible.
All life on Earth is carbon based. If satan’s minions can convince the masses that carbon is a pollutant then it becomes much easier to march them to the ovens.
I am inquiring right now at WUWT to see if anyone there can fill in more details on this process. I will also inquire about it to Tony Heller,
Thank you thank you Greg

From Small Compline
Rejoice Virgin Theotokos, Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, for thou hast borne the Savior of our souls. (Thrice)
I know what God is. Simples. I also thought what a Judas is and how you might get there in you’re ageing life. It is remembering your tough times when younger and making those innocent pacts with God that you cannot break. They were not so innocent and you always thought about it growing older . You made them with innocent seriosness and God never held it against you. What Judas did was very sad. I sometimes forget what I offered to get my desired outcome. God has always showed his hand. I sometimes lose the trust but it comes back like a thunderstorm. Jesus does not ask of you anything but to be faithfull. I am sitting here thinking if I had break my promise to Him, 3 of them and I can only remember 2. Jesus is never far away. Jesus is my saviour and His Father God and the Holy Spirit is everything and the only thing I need, for me and my family.
Tis so true. Age has a way of sharpening our focus on what is and is not important, what is and is not of value, what is precious beyond rubies…and what is not. It is a supreme gift and blessing to know it and to value it above all else in this transitory life, and to hold it more dearly than anything else.
This is so beautiful I have to share – Jon McNaughton says this about his painting:
With careful study and subtle reverence, I endeavored to paint the Nativity as I imagined it. The soft blue starlight lightens the landscape of Bethlehem while the shepherds gather reverently around the newborn King. What kind of wonder and awe were they feeling? I tried to instill in their faces the emotions I would have had, had I been there. I wanted this scene to feel as real as possible. I visited Bethlehem in the spring of 2007 and was able to get a good feel for the landscape and how it might have been. In my mind, I see Joseph holding the oil lamp which illuminates the small grotto. He humbly kneels before the infant and his beloved Mary. He would do anything for her. Mary, although young in age, is blessed among women and has wisdom beyond her years. She carefully pulls back the cloth to reveal the Son of God to the quiet shepherds. These shepherds, so humble by nature, were the first to see the prophesied Christ child. Their joy and gratitude must have been overwhelming. A little white lamb without blemish curiously lies beside the manger looking at the babe. For me, this lamb represents the forthcoming sacrifice of the only Begotten Son who would in the future give His life for all of us. I hope you feel the great love the Savior has for you as you contemplate this painting of the Nativity.

Thank you so much, ms Idaho.
I looked at the finished work before I read his words about what he wanted to accomplish. The first figure which caught my eye was the shepherd on the far left, bending in expectation and awe, not quite believing Who he was seeing.
I’d say Mr Naughton was successful beyond his wildest imaginings in transferring his vision as he explained it to canvas. It is beautiful and moving. Thank you for sharing it with us.💕
posted especially for you
Christmas blessings to all
Oh….thank you my friend. What a gift you’ve given me.💕🌲…no words do I have….bless you mightily.
rollin’ and a- tumblin’ …..
Good Morning, Friends. I know that you all here care Deeply and Intrinsically about what and how our domestically grown organizations are doing overseas. Here is the Black Lives Matter Japan Founder and her attempts to eradicate cultural stereotypes and normalize how Black People are viewed both in Japan in particular and Asia in General…
Anyone else “inspired” by “Burn Loot Murder” in Japan…? Anyone…?
More Like Continuing the “Sex Kitten” mentality of the Japanese towards ANY-one of Black or African heritage (it was pretty prevalent when I was there
98-
10). But maybe it’s just me….By the way: yes, the guy that she is with is *NOT* black (so much for Black Lives Matters’ “cultural appropriation” thing)…

Now for some Good News (GOD Bless and Much Love to You All)…..
A friend of mine told me that God supports and even gives instructions on how to abort a baby. He said it’s in the Bible. He recited Numbers 5:11-12.
Check it out for yourself.
We must always be aware that baby killing murders will also twist God’s word to fit their money harvesting agenda.
I wasn’t able to help my friend understand the true meaning of those passages. His ego would not allow himself to be wrong about anything.
I hope you all have better luck with anyone who brings this devilish interpretation to you one day.
