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 †

What a BOARD !
1920s-1940s hollow plywood box
you could order a kit with plans from a California furniture supplier, planks probably pre-cut
As a ‘kid’, friend’s big brother, waxing his board……ca. 1966…..made me some sort of ‘board expert’ !
Galveston Bay……………..
His parents met in a Bomb Shelter in England during WWII. His mother, British, fell, literally, into an
American soldier’s arms, during bombing raid.
His, surfer dude, dad worked for NASA after his WWII duty.
Move forward decades, a package arrived yesterday, from my girlfriend who lived next door to that surfer dude.
Her dad saw battle in Italy during WWII. Her dad NASA. He did the slide rule calculations, for NASA, making sure the ships got to the Astronauts/Capsule at landing.
What the world did not know, if the Navy ship could not get the astronauts…they must first make sure to get the Space Ship. Let the astronauts die, if need be.

Robert F Kennedy Jr: “We need a peaceful revolution”
👍
🙂 I think so too!
Anyone that thinks that the cabal in DC and their puppet masters are going to give up their power peacefully, has not been paying enough attention.
This I know. Did you know, that back in the earliest days of this country, they voted for the President AND for the Vice President? They weren’t a “package deal” like we got today: you voted for the President, and then you voted for the Vice President: so they could be from different parties; but you got to choose who you thought would be best for each job.
Kennedy has made it clear, he is a Kennedy Democrat, like his uncle and his father were; and his desire is to get the Democrat party back to its roots, so to speak. I’ve been listening to him, and he is very intelligent and VERY experienced dealing with the Federal Agencies; as he has been litigating against many of them for the last forty years; and is not intimidated by them. Everything he talks about is really the same things we all want.
The reason I bring it up, about how they used to vote in this country in the early years; is that it would be good if we could vote for the right people in the jobs WE THINK BEST. Trump and Kennedy would be an unbeatable force for good for this country; and for the rest of the world, for that matter.
In my opinion.
Yes I knew that. I also know that back then state legislatures voted to determine who would be the senators. U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 3, clause 1
Until the 17th amendment changed it to a popular vote. I think that amendment was a mistake.
I’d rather rely on Trump picking his running mate…
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Trump/DeSantis
I don’t think so.. I for one, do not trust DS..
🇺🇸💪😀👍
How about Trump/Lake? or Trump/Carson?
I hope he has learned the hard lessons from last time, does better for the next term. I think that he just has a good heart, and good-hearted people don’t naturally suspect sneaking hypocrites and liars and back-stabbers.
Trust me Trump knows exactly what he is up against.. before and now …now we all know who “they” are thanks to him..🇺🇸👍

Hero saves three-year-old girl hanging from eighth-floor window
12 May 2022
**snipped**
A huge crowd gathered beneath and watched in horror as she clung to the ledge.
Sabit Shontakbaev, 37, and a friend were on the way to work when they noticed the commotion.
The father-of-four rushed into the building and knocked on the door of the apartment below the girl’s.
He then made his way to the window.
Sabit said: ‘I did not have a safety harness so my friend held my legs.
…He added: ‘I didn’t even see her parents.’
‘Afterwards, I went straight to work with my friend. Nobody knew that this would happen.
‘I just saved the child and left, and in the news and social networks they suddenly began to call me a hero.
‘I do not consider my actions heroic.
‘To me, everyone should lend a helping hand in such situations.’

Good morning all! Here is an early dose of climate change wacko insanity for you all that I suspect will interest many here.
CNN : Puppies Cause Hurricanes | Real Climate Science
That is an impressive example of stupid.
I mean, the out of the box stupid that is impressively, outrageously, and mind bogglingly stupid.
When you think stupid cannot be more creatively stupid, liberals out-stupid themselves.
This is, for all intents and purposes, a religion for climate whackos.
They will agree with whatever one of their specific tribe of stupid says, no matter how stupid, because it is their tribe of stupid.
When stupid becomes their virtue signaling…..
It is a suicide cult, with members too stupid to understand that.
Suicide by Stupicide.
Stupid on steroids.
And if you don’t go along with them on EVERYTHING you are a racist and a ‘phobe.
Hard pass.
Suicide cult would be fine, IF they kept the suicide part within the cult members, but they intend fully to take the rest of us with them… in fact, they intend to take the rest of us FIRST

5/2/2023 – They have not rejected thee, but they have rejected Me
1 Samuel 8
“And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel. Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba. And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre (plunder, unjust gain, covetuosness), and took bribes, and perverted judgment. Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, and said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. But the thing displeased (was evil in the eyes of) Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them. According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken Me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee. Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and show them the manner of the king that shall reign over them. And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king. And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots. And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots. And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants. And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants. And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day. Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us; that we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles. And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD. And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.”
John 5:43 “I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.”
Jeremiah 25:28-29 “And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink. For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by My Name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.”
History surely is repeating in this, our times…
Boy, you say it!
I’m glad to hear from you George. How are you? and how’s it going with your church?
A nice story from Turnberry
“I must say he was a very nice person – it was nothing like all the stuff you see on television.
Scots schoolkid invited to dinner with Donald Trump as former US President plays golf at Turnberry
Scott Burgess was invited to dinner at the iconic Turnberry Lighthouse when spotted greenside by the former US President.
A stunned schoolkid has told how Donald Trump let him dine in style at his Turnberry golf resort this afternoon.
The former US President invited teenager Scott Burgess to have dinner with his entourage at the famous lighthouse by the side of the ninth green. The 15-year-old, from East Kilbride, had travelled to the course in the hope of catching a glimpse of Trump playing golf at his Ayrshire resort.
And he was shocked to be invited inside the nearby halfway house for a slap-up dinner. Scott said: “I was stood by the side of the green with my mum and gave Trump a wave as he came by.
“Next thing I knew he was calling us over and he got chatting. He asked if we’d like to come inside for dinner paid by him. “We’d been stood waiting for a few hours as we’d tracked his plane and knew he was coming down.
“I had the day off school anyway so decided to come on the off chance of seeing him.” Fourth year pupil, Scott, tucked in while Trump and his entourage sat just yards away.
He said: “I had a beef pie, which was lovely. Just sitting in the same room as him was so surreal. “I must say he was a very nice person – it was nothing like all the stuff you see on television.
“It was an amazing experience and one I’ll definitely remember for a long time.”

VITAL INTERCESSION
“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.” Eph. vi. 18
As we go on in intercession we may find that our obedience to God is going to cost other people more than we thought. The danger then is to begin to intercede in sympathy with those whom God was gradually lifting to a totally different sphere in answer to our prayers. Whenever we step back from identification with God’s interest in others into sympathy with them, the vital connection with God has gone, we have put our sympathy, our consideration for them in the way, and this is a deliberate rebuke to God.
It is impossible to intercede vitally unless we are perfectly sure of God, and the greatest dissipator of our relationship to God is personal sympathy and personal prejudice. Identification is the key to intercession, and whenever we stop being identified with God, it is by sympathy, not by sin. It is not likely that sin will interfere with our relationship to God, but sympathy will, sympathy with ourselves or with others which makes us say – “I will not allow that thing to happen.” Instantly we are out of vital connection with God.
Intercession leaves you neither time nor inclination to pray for your own “sad sweet self.” The thought of yourself is not kept out, because it is not there to keep out; you are completely and entirely identified with God’s interest in other lives.
Discernment is God’s call to intercession, never to fault finding.

Revelation 3:7-12
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,
These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”:
I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it: for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie – indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God.
And, I will write on him My new name.

Good morning juststevie!
Praise The Lord I was able to get some decent shut eye! I almost nailed the burly feral tomcat responsible for terrorizing my felines with a decent sized landscaping rock from my flower bed at first light. He is too wiley to fall for the solid white albacore in the raccoon trap. That nasty cuss sat in my yard giving me the eye, “big as you please” even after I hissed at him. This is war.
May I suggest there are other ways to get rid of the situation without nailing him with a landscaping rock. It’s truly not his fault; he is a non-neutered feral cat following centuries of instinct for heaven’s sake. And some idiot in your neighborhood started the process by letting some other cat get pregnant (hence, this cat was born to roam)
There are “trap, neuter, release” (TNR) programs put out by local shelters. You could start by calling around. (Not sure where you are in this world). Or just try again and do your own TNR. Most shelters/rescue groups advocate neutering and should try to help/advise you.
Have you tried to determine what is causing him to come to your yard in the first place? Are you leaving food out? Are your females not spayed?
As a licensed veterinary technician (but not in private practice anymore), I can tell you people do not realize the affect they have by not neutering! As a result, one litter generates thousands more (trickle down effect). People think it’s so cute to have litters. Ha! Just go visit a shelter or go online to petfinder and see how many animals are waiting to be adopted. Very sad. One guy I knew years ago said “ but I wanted my children to see the dog have puppies”. I wanted to scream.
Just like bob barker said, “help the pet population” by neutering.
C.R., my whole rant on neutering is obviously not directed at you. I was just pointing out that your feral cat problem is a result of long-term ignorance of repercussions.
I don’t hold it against him for being what he is supposed to be, he just doesn’t have to do it by my house anymore. Irresponsible owners from the population centers like to drive out here to the country and abandon their pets. I was going to trap him and have him fixed at a discounted rate then take him for a johnboat ride across the river to the next County and release him into a 15,000 acre swamp. There are plenty of food sources and fresh water. I don’t wish to harm animals. I have spent almost $700 dollars in the last month patching my cats up from run ins with this jackwagon. I had my own cat population boom after I started feeding mama Katts and couldn’t make friends with her fast enough to get her to the vet before she ended up with a litter.
Maybe re-introducing the wolf to your area will help balance everything out? (sarcasm) I think we need to be realistic with wild animals; and being kind has to give way when real safety is concerned. There is a reason why people don’t want dangerous animals around where they live; its because our children’s lives and the domestic animals who rely on us, need to be safe. A wild animal only thinks like a wild animal; it doesn’t respect human kindness when its hungry, or trying to stake out its territory.
I think you did right; and I;m glad you can get some sleep now.
Glad you could get some sleep.
If I recall right, you have back problems, too.
Sleep…….it’s such a simple thing. Til you cannot sleep…..
Hope you can get more sleep. Without pain and discomfort.

“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.”

BE MY VOICE
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.

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. – Romans 5:1
Sin and guilt produce disharmony with God. It is often said that justified means “just as if I have never sinned.” The good news of the cross is that there is no need to be bogged down in guilt. The debt of sin has been paid. And the apostle John writes the assurance, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).
Jesus teaches a lesson on forgiveness with the story of the servant who begged the king for time to repay a large debt. The king had compassion and forgave him. Then the forgiven servant demanded a fellow servant immediately pay him back a small amount of money. When the king found out, he reinstated the debt, demanding payment from the unforgiving servant.
Jesus took care of your sins. It is not your job to pay for your own sins with guilt or to mentally and emotionally beat yourself up. It is your job to receive God’s forgiveness provided on the cross for you and extend it to others. In this way, you will walk in harmony and peace with God and enjoy the quiet, tranquility of a soul resting in His grace.
Have you received God’s forgiveness and dropped the baggage of guilt? Have you extended forgiveness to others who have hurt you? Pray for God’s mercy on America and that followers of Christ will set the example of receiving and offering His forgiveness.

Branco’s best yet.
Might I offer a book with a Conservative atmosphere?
It is well worth your time: A Diary Found at Lynchburg.
From the publisher:
“Through a mysterious series of murders in the modern Hell known as an American public high school, A Diary Found at Lynchburg examines not just adult society, not just American society, but Humanity in general, and laments and lampoons the hypocrisies, the stupidities, the brutalities, and the monstrosities of Modern Life.
Irreverent, intriguing, dramatic, humorous, satiric, and tragic, A Diary Found at Lynchburg is relevant to all ages and offers a deep meditation for all of us on the ultimate questions of Good vs. Evil.”
Currently on sale at Amazon.
Intriguing, dramatic, humorous, satiric , and tragic!
We got all that right here

Just joking
Thanks good friend
☘️
“We got all that right here
my fine friend.”
Heh-heh! Ain’t that the truth! 🙂
You are quite welcome!
sounds like a real good book
Here is an excerpt:
“America loves to be scolded for not being perfect. It’s almost as much of a national sport as baseball or football. America is scolded for not doing more for the children, for not making every moment safe and worry-free.
“And so America spoils its already very spoiled children: the television sets pour out guilt, and the guilt sends the parents to empty their bank accounts on their children. This is called “stimulating the economy,” and America depends on the cycle to keep millions of hard-working people employed…in China.” 😉
Another excerpt:
The Protagonist talks to a high-school girl named Emma:
“I’ve tried turning the other cheek, and all it got me was another slap. Anyway, I’m too much of an American to run from a fight against the bad guys.”
“You’re not too much of an American to be dead,” said Emma.”
Our Father
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.
Gloria
Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people of good will.
We praise you,
we bless you,
we adore you,
we glorify you,
we give you thanks for your great glory,
Lord God, heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.
Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
have mercy on us.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.

Lol
please pray for our Sister Della my friends
good morning prayer warriors
RISE UP PRAYER WARRIORS
In the morning when you arise
Thank God for the lovely sunrise
Thank God you have the eyes to see
Thank God through Him you are set free
So many are suffering in various ways
From family problems to general malaise
From discouragement to deep depression
Hearts, minds, and souls suffer repression
Each day God asks you to boldly come
To the Throne of Grace and beat the drum
Sing Praise to our God – Sing Praise
To our Deliverer – Our voices we raise
God told us to pray unceasingly
Give Glory Honor and Praise to He
Bring our petitions and lift them up
So that all may drink from the Blessing Cup
When you are troubled the Body suffers
Take it to God and pray for others
When we reach out and pray for one another
We bless father mother sister and brother
Our own concerns become less of a bother
When we reach out and touch another
So Rise Up Prayer Warriors and shout
Defeat the enemy roundabout
Send him back to the dry places of doom
Back off and prevent his message of gloom
Declare your victory over all that prevails
Defeat his plan and all it entails
Our nation has been attacked mercilessly
Over a long span of time most relentlessly
It is time to defeat that father of lies
It is time for Prayer Warriors to rise
‘Go To The Quiet’ if it need be
To replenish and refresh on bended knee
You must be courageous and strong
To fight this battle all the day long
Rise Up Prayer Warriors and come to their aid
For many who are lacking let hope be staid
For those who are allegedly down and out
Sing Praise – Declare Victory – and Shout
Decked in your Armor fight the good fight
Send our enemy and his minions to flight
Give it your all and you will soon see
And taste the blessings of Victory!!!

. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
Amen

That is good

I love this place 😊
I even saw a commenter goes by the name “Molonlabe”!
Lord, thank you for drawing me close to you each morning, and bathing me in your Love, that is always unfailing and unconditional. Lord, for so many years I was enslaved to trying to please people; looking for the unconditional love, that I now see, can only be provided by you. Lord, I never found that love and walked many years with an empty lonely heart. Lord, thank you for being with me for all of those lonely years, patiently waiting for me to accept your Love for what it is: unconditional and everlasting .
Blessed are you my God, King of the Universe, Prince of Peace.
