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 †

So sweet, Leon💕

OMG….that is just so perfect. 😍
Unrepentant😊
LOL….so purr-fect !!
Mornin’ Ad rem, darlin’ . . . 🙂
Mornin’ Garrison! 😘
he’s on the Swat Team … Kitten Division …
Swat team……SNAG team….same difference.
Brought his own weapons😉
Sharps and Beans!
Hahaha!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Ok .. violence it is 🤣
I felt that one, RyderLee!😂
I once saw a pic of a stunning Maine Coon kitten sitting and looking perfectly innocent.
The caption said:
“Kittens think of nothing but murder all day.”
I’m still chuckling at your “recognizing hand scars” meme from yesterday!
Snagged it for further use….
Yes, that chart was a find all right😂
💕Stinker! 💕
🐾 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Look at those wide open pupils and the semi laid back ears….We have been warned big time.😊
Battered Conservative No More.
That’s right!!!😂
For Greg, CR, maybe Garrison with little Tink, and anyone else who can relate…others have gone before you.
Betsy on an Early Sunday Morning Roll !
Love it !
Ha!
Nailed it.
3AM(!) 4th century BC!
On the dot!!
Mornin’ Bet, darlin’ 🙂 Yep. Little ‘Tink literally channels this ancient sculpture. The only difference is that, since I sleep on my side, she curls up on my shoulder. Although fully mature, she such a tiny little kitty that her sleeping on my shoulder isn’t uncomfortable—she’s very polite about the whole thing . . . “Excuse me, boss, but I need to sleep here for awhile . . . “
I love her so much, Garrison. I have a mental picture of the whole picture which makes my heart soar🤗…God bless her little kitty heart…and yours💕🙏🏻
Morning Bet, I see I missed a lot of activity last night, and I was up, too, but didn’t want to wake up Nipper by getting on my iPad. ❤️😍
God morning, much loved brother.💕 One of those rare nights for me when it just wasn’t happening. So the requisite cup of tea and off to the races😁! What a thoughtful grandpa you are🤗. Sending a big ole Auntie Bet hug for your sweet lad….you know, when he’s not looking. Love ya both😘
If she is referring to you as the boss — you are being conned!🐾🐾🐾

No way to win…
Greetings Treepers! ✝️
Brothers, we are not sisters.
Mmmhmm
Morning, Frank😘 I see you are a night owl as well…
Who said that?
I remember that poem from the original (Tom Selleck) Magnum, PI episode “Death and Taxes”. Actor Kenneth Tigar (who at one time thought he was a werewolf on the old “Barney Miller” series) played a crazed killer who taunted Magnum with nursery rhymes and poems prior to killing each of his victims.
Milton “The Ripper” Collins was Tigar’s character here in Magnum. When Magnum mortally wounded The Ripper, Ripper rattled off the “Wise Old Owl” poem. One of my favorite episodes of one of my favorite TV shows….
Mine too!
Who….
Who Who indeed!

Good morning Treepers
Morning, Joe💕 Having a cup of tea before heading to gwelli (bed). Gorgeous photo, my friend. The promise of a new day and all the mercies it holds🙏🏻
I’ll call it a night in a little while myself.
Did you happen to see the full moon outside? It was big and bright earlier.
I did!! A few weeks back, early in the morning, I saw the sun just coming up, and it was huge! I mean scarily gigantic. Bright orange. Almost apocalyptic in colour and size. I was driving and had a hard time keeping my eye on the road for the seeing of it.
Morning Joe!
Good morning GrandpaM. Almost noon now. Hoping for more rain here…..
“unplug those people”
Ahem . . . “. . . unplug them people . . .” 🙂
Spoken like a true “redneck” Texan!! 👍🏻😂
Well, a Texan with an “inner Redneck” anyway . . . 🙂
That’s our Garrison!! Salt of the earth😉👍🏻
Good morning, Garrison💕 Love Lyle! Good choices all, dear friend. Here’s another I was just listening to…
“I Can’t Love You Any More”
Thanks for this, Bet. Can’t have too much Lyle . . . Having only had two great loves in my life, I can appreciate the angst he sings about only in the rather extreme abstract—in my first, I was much to young to not do stupid stuff (fortunately she was smart enough to steer us through the emotional minefields and allow us to be friends) while, in the second, we were together for 55 years . . . Most people are far, far, better traveled in this regard. 🙂
You both mapped the road, Garrison, no question. And “stupid stuff ” goes with the territory of youth (I’m no exception). No way to avoid it. But how else would we learn and grow? You were so fortunate to find that one person who loved you enough to weather it all. And fortunate and smart enough to know it, dear friend💕😘
Trust and loyalty, Bet . . . Those are the absolute key ingredients required for a lasting relationship. Without them love simply cannot flourish or even maintain for long.
Yes indeed…the foundation stones to build on. If they aren’t there, the whole edifice eventually will crumble.💕
Good morning, Garrison. Nice selection of songs. Great way to start the day.
Mornin’ Joe. 🙂 Agreed. Lyle makes for great morning-coffee music!
“And if I had a Boat
I’d go out on the Ocean
And if I had a Pony
I’d ride him on my Boat
And we could All Together
Go out on the Ocean
I said me upon my Pony
On my Boat ..”
Mmmmm , Lyle Lovett 💘
Thanks , Garrison 💐
🙂 Yep. Lyle received an excellent Texas A&M education and is quite literate. He also has excellent taste in motorcycles (Ducati).
God morning to you, Garrison. God go with you today and always.
God morning, dear JWoo-Hoo. Now the day is right.😘🌻
God morning, Betsy. May the sun shine brightly on your faces and give you that little sunburst of acknowledgement from God. It’s like He’s kissing us on the cheek.
I hope you are smothered in those kisses, JWoo, you and Savannah. Bless you and the day before you, friend of my heart🙏🏻💕
“GOD morning” !!!
Excellent perspective, thanks for posting that!
And thanks for brightening the day!
God morning, Greg1… my Maine Coon brother. Give kittah a pat from me.
Hi there; and happy Sunday, JWoo❣️
Blessed morning to you, Patience.
God morning to two of my favourite ladies, Patience and Ma🤗🌿🤗
😇
Morning Patience! ❤️
Happy Sunday, Pa❣️
-So good to see your greeting…💖
And God morning to you, also, love. The Lord has been in my life as long as I can remember. I feel so blessed in that respect. I don’t have a good explanation for this because I’m as flawed as anyone else . . . but, looking back, He’s just always been there. 🙂
Good morning, JWoo! So good to see you. 😁
Good evening, GrandpaM.
Happy to hear you’ve graduated to your physical therapy. And Nipper is back to visiting… great great news!
Took the afternoon and took daughter to Grissom Air Base flight museum. Then to a little Amish farmers market for lunch.
We are eagerly awaiting the building of the American Huey 369 museum across the street from the air base. Got our info on the memorial plans there which we will look forward to honoring my father for his service there.
We will add a brick there for each of us in my maiden name to honor our family military service and show our support.
http://www.americanhuey369.com
A shame we have the Ejit-in-Chief that we do, else I would probably lose my girl to the military. She’s got the spirit and the guts for it… but not under this present lack of leadership.
🙌
Thank you once more, Garrison for posting but a few of the offerings from another Texas iconic singer/songwriter. A truly amazing body of work that he has created; Here is one more offering
Good morning, benzy😊 I said to Garrison his Lyle selections were good ones. But after I posted, I thought there aren’t any that aren’t just pure Texas.
My favourite…
Blessed be your Sunday, my friend. 😘
Well, I’m busted Bet. I intended to do little celebration of Texas cultural ambiance with these selections. This is something Lyle can do exceptionally well. As mentioned he was educated at A&M and is quite literate. I think “The Porch Song” video says it all. If you live here long enough, you’ll easily have a similar “La Salle Hotel” experience to what he describes in the song. Pure Texas.
I am always amazed at the backgrounds of singer songwriters/ performers/actors…not all but many. Look at Lyle and Bob Dylan for example. It’s all very well and good to have the feelings to write a song around, but to be able to form the right words to express them? I love the Porch song as well…you’re so right. We all get wistful for times past, especially now.
(As for background, I always think of James Woods/MIT; Dolph Lundgren/Fulbright scholarship to MIT, chemical engineering; Sir Brian May/astrophysicist PhD and Fellow of the Royal College of Astrophysicists… just a few examples)
Good choice, benzy 🙂
Love Lyle, Always have, Unique Talent.
Yep. And thanks. 🙂
I was lucky enough to be in College Station at that time and heard Lyle and REK at Backstage, Grins and over at friends houses.
Actually just traveled to Austin last weekend for a wedding of Aggie friends and family… we joined into the Paws Pass / Barks for Beer tour and visited some great beer gardens.
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
🙂
Howdy Garrison!
Howdy, Gramps! 🙂
More organized…
What a tangled web we weave! 🐾🐾
Okay, which one do you want? heads or tails? 😁
Both!!!!😊
😁👍🏻
Or a mother with toddlers😊
Good morning, Bet.
I have to make sure the door is latched or I won’t be alone.
Mine sticks her paw through the crack between the door and frame trying to make me let her in.
Yes!!!! The Pitiful Paw!
-Bohemian Catsody – A Rhapsody Parody Song for Every Cat Queen and King!
Hahahahaa!!!! Just brilliant, Miss P!!😂
Hilariously true, just like at my house. If my hubby or I close the pocket bathroom door, two cats start banging the door open! Lol
You know what they’re full of, Elise….curiosity!
Yes that too… and clearly my little shadow kitty, he is in every single step behind me in the house, whatever I’m doing.
if it’s nap time for him, but mom’s cooking dinner he’s right at my feet, let’s go do it together mom. He always rides shotgun in my golf cart on my farm when I go to do some chainsawing……he says let’s go together mom.My little helper. He needs companionship and constant interaction…… okay, it’s been precious as always I just love ❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 this group and this website, but unfortunately I have things to do (pout double pout.) so I will check in with you guys tomorrow have a blessed Sunday ….. Much love to all and God bless.😁😁😁✝️✝️✝️(waving……)
Adieu, Anon, Farewell, till we meet again😊. We’re always here. You two get done what needs doin’…
And may He bless your day as well🙏🏻💕
🙌
OR…😉😉😉
Lol. Good morning nim.
afternoon, Joe – missed responding yesterday, went out to see a Stones tribute band last night
Looks kinda like a Garfield type cat…lasagna dish and all!
yes, those orange cats brown nicely at 350 o
Definitely got the “nap attack” thing down
Great choices, Joe. Thanks for posting. 🙂
Have blessed Sunday, Treeper friends. We can always trust that our Dear Lord is watching over us, protecting us, and—above all—loving us unconditionally. All he asks is for us to believe in Him. It’s not hard to do, honest . . . Think on it for awhile and then just ask. That’s all it takes . . . 🙂
And with hearing our Treehouse benediction plus the beautiful voices of VOCES8, the Lord’s day begins. Blessings always, Garrison🙏🏻💕
Beautiful morning to you, Ms. Betsy🌷

It is…because our church here is full! Couldn’t be better😊🙏🏻

I expect she’ll be advertising for a new assistant soon😉
Well that caught me by surprise
– laughed so hard, I coughed!
😹
ha!
I LOLd, as the kids say
Since the current Resident is Evil…
Another flavor..
Obvious much.. Like Soros groups don’t already have access to the tapes and are not already working to do exactly this.
The GOP act as though they fear more meat for the slaughter house. They really fear the waking of the masses. They want them to stay weakened masses that donate to their re-election. To remain slaves.. to go quietly to DC gulag with the hope of a fair trial.
The supposed Patriots who refuse to fight back. Those who are taken and tortured for years while they beg for their constitution. While they beg for a fair trial. While they beg for the rights they thought they still had.
What better way to waken the masses… the only way out is through. The only way out is to make examples. The only way out is for things to get so much worse the rest of the masses have no choice but to finally fight back.
‘Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.’ ― Benjamin Franklin
🙌
The lady known as Marjorie Taylor Greene has become an A. I. expression of another well known DC Doyen. Meet the most recent version of Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
At the RFK, Jr. speech – which was both interesting and terrifying – he closed out his remarks with the following:
1) Whatever power the government has, they won’t give back. They have biological labs all over the world.
2) Any power the government takes, they will ultimately abuse.
3) No man ever complied their way out of totalitarianism.
I will never vote for RFK, Jr. – he’s a liberal DemonRat nut – however I want to know what those nuts are doing, what they are saying, and what they want the American people to know about. It is not just what they say – but what they don’t (won’t) say. One thing, he wouldn’t say… was how he was going to FIX any of it.
We don’t need a recap, bucko… we know what the hell is going on with this organized crime syndicate. Conspiracy theories have become foregone conclusions.
The only one offering solutions to FIX ANYTHING is Trump and they’re never gonna let him back in. This is the American people’s problem and it is not on the shoulders of just one man. (But God love Trump for trying… the ultimate warrior Spirit, leader, and in the spirit of our forefathers.)
I pray a hedge of Divine Protection around Trump, his family, and his loyalists. Let no weapon formed against them prosper.
“ I pray a hedge of Divine Protection around Trump, his family, and his loyalists. Let no weapon formed against them prosper.”
-Amen!

Elon Musk accidentally becomes a toddler. 😂
Not that I’m usually up late
But things are great with a family reunion
On my turf
I’m not so much into this Trump thing (though I LOVE TRUMP)
Whu? Gonna be “elected”
the prez of what?
This fallen thing of which Biden is the “elected” first?
Or rather the first installed guy who occupies the WH?
Honestly? Don’t we have a fallen former thing…to which we wanna cling and claim AMERICA?
Really? Not from my perspective. What I actually request, with all spiritual honesty and with all historical precedence in view….
Isn’t Biden the first prez of the new unnamed thing once titled the USA?
I’m thinking that Plouffe…rightly pronounced “ploof” announced the winning of the future day
…it ain’t Trump. Can’t be Trump. Won’t be Trump
Ain’t happinin’ just AIN’T!
Trump cannot and/or will not be allowed to be elected to this new joint we keep calling AMERICA
America fell in the soft coup in the 2020 “election”
The former AMERICA now has an installed prez (soft coup)
The former America now has virtually 100% open borders because our state governments don’t hold the former federal government in contempt of founding principles
Me?
I made a vow to the nation I once knew…
(And just to brag, virtue signal, or declare my disdain, or challenge the current guv)
No swinging peepee EVER beat me on the Corps obstacle course
ever
I’m a Navy guy. Treeps.
Trump. If! He is permitted to win…must have a VP “they” like so they can Kennedy Trump
Folks
Trump is not THE SAVIOUR
Jesus is
Get the gospel out
LAY DOWN YOUR LIFE FOR THE GOSPEL
Not Sodom
This thing…we used to call AMERICA no longer exists!
“Aw shucks. I was hoping to win a popularity contest.”

I love kitties. I love puppies.

I love sweet little lullabies
THIS. IS. WAR.
I look in the mirror..,
“Franky boy? Where’s your treasure?”
Where’s yours Treeps?
Frank Field’s wise words and the Spirit within me compel me to share my prayer time from this morning with you. I’m sorry for the length… yet hope it blesses you… as it did me.
Question to Treepers- Do you remember when I wrote a few weeks ago that a divine little red Snapdragon appeared next to the building after God and I were spending time together? A lowly seed from plants long since dead over the winter that had found its way to bloom for me, as a gift? Well, the apartment was going to spray for weeds, so I had to scoop it up and place it in a pot to keep it safe from them — it died. Very sadly.
(Read until the end for the SURPRISE!)
(My letter to God) June 3, 2023
Abba,
Rose Geranium incense burning – do you like it?
Maybe I am just doing it for me, but I want it to be for YOU – or do I want it to be for me?
Am I really selfish?
I admit that I do:
want a happy lifea healthy bodya happy daughteran accomplished daughterto live in safetyI am sick to death of telling You what I want. I guess I want what YOU want for me.
How do I even know how to pray?
I don’t have to tell YOU what I miss. I already know You know.
You are God… I am not!
YOU ARE GOD… I am not!
Will You help me to see You in Your Word? (As I surveyed around me…)
I see You in:
Water – every drop of water springs forth from the earth or falls from the atmosphere because You ordained it. It travels the path You set it on. It provides nourishment to all the Earth.The bee. It travels from flower to flower spreading beauty, making honey, and it never seems to tire.The sun that provides light and warmth. You decide what clouds block it from shining on us. You decide when it bursts forth and shines brighter. (Twice – when I wrote that – then when I read it to Savannah – the sun felt as though it was bursting forth – and it got brighter – and warmer on our faces. Like a tangible surge in power!)The birds. You give them sustenance to survive and set their songs in their throats and they greet You. Thank you for the Red Winged Blackbird and the Robin with its pretty blue eggs – God, You are so clever!The breeze to gently cool us off. Thank You.The duck is provided for.I always have so many “Why” or “How” questions for You. They consume my thoughts.
What would You say to me? How would You instruct me?
(Please read the following – as I did in my time with God)
Psalm 23 (NIV) and then Psalm 94 (NIV)
Psalm 94 – You are The God Who avenges.
I am alone – but I am alone WITH YOU and that makes all the difference.
(Then I wrote a letter to myself – in the Spirit – and asked The Lord to speak to me – I asked the Lord to guide my pen.)
“Dear daughter,
You will laugh again. You will know joy again.
Cut out and away the noise of this world and focus only on Me. I will show you the beauty I have created. Live things. Real things. Not virtual – or artificial.
I am here always and I show you my glory every day, if you will be still and focus on Me alone. When you start to look for Me and see Me – I reveal more and more of Myself to you.
You are my precious girl and I want to spend time with you. It is the joy to my day. Come to me and lay your burdens before me and I will give you rest. Remember? I promised this in My Word.
I love you, daughter, and always will.
World without end.
Through eternity… yours,
Abba God, your Father
Then I was led to the following Scriptures
Job 35:4-15 (NIV)
“I would like to reply to you
and to your friends with you.
Look up at the heavens and see;
gaze at the clouds so high above you.
If you sin, how does that affect Him?
If your sins are many, what does
that do to Him?
If you are righteous, what do you give
to Him
or what does He receive from
your hand?
Your wickedness affects only a man
like yourself,
and your righteousness only the
sons of men.
Men cry out under a load of
oppression
they plead for relief from the arm of
the powerful.
But no one says, “where is God my
maker,
who gives songs in the night,
who teaches more to us than to
the beasts of the earth
and makes us wiser than the birds
of the air?
He does not answer when men cry
out
because of the arrogance of the
wicked.
Indeed, God does not listen to their
empty plea;
the Almighty pays no attention to
it.
How much less, then, will He listen
when you say that you do not see Him,
that your case is before Him,
and further, that His anger never punishes
and He does not take the least notice
of wickedness.
So Job opens his mouth with empty
talk;
without knowledge he multiplies
words.
I closed out my prayer and meditation time with The Lord. Now, I had already dead-headed and cleaned up twigs in my potted patio flowers, inspected my fruit-bearing potted tomato plant, saw the seedling yield starting on my small trellis. I for some reason went back to the tomato plant and there… today – after my prayers, after my time with the LORD – another teeny tiny Snapdragon appeared literally out of nowhere growing from rocks! This one yellow and ever so small. A TRUE MIRACLE. This one I will not dig up, because I can’t protect it and will it to grow – the way… the Lord can.
I share this because I am compelled to by the Holy Spirit. May God be with you today and may you seek Him with all your might.
Remember in Psalm 94, He is the God Who avenges.
“Does He Who implanted the ear not hear?”
“Does He Who formed the eye not see?” (v9)
“For the Lord will not reject His people;
He will never forsake His inheritance.” (v14)
“Who will rise up for me against the
wicked?
Who will take a stand for me
against evildoers?” (v16)
And me… in my inconsequential person… but in my loudest voice… “Here I am, Lord… send me.”
(Side note: for the new readers of the Word – NIV stands for New International Version – there are many written Words and this is the version that resonates with me best for my understanding. I especially love my Zondervan NIV Study Bible that is dog-eared and worn – and the study notes in the subtext help me dive deeper.)
Sorry – my formatting in my letter to God portion of this post got messed up. I had it bullet pointed and it showed that way – but then it is not showing herein. Too late to do another edit. Formatting – grrr.
Good morning sis! Oh what a joy to read this! A devotional! Praise God for He IS Faithful and True! 🙏✝💝
Good morning, Stevie…
I have never written devotionals on purpose. This is more like a report on what I experience in my prayer time as the Spirit leads me. I know… you know… how that goes. It is fluid, unpredictable, and I never know what’s going to happen.
I hope it inspires others to speak out on how God is working in their lives and how He shows Himself tangibly to them as well. It is hope for others. (I pray)
🙏
🙌
After reading your written thoughts… experience
this kept going on in my head.
-there’s a place for US
✝️❤️🇺🇸
-Hold My hand
and I’ll take you there
…we’re half way there
This post is one of the most objective, insightful and honest posts I’ve read in a very long time.
“Franky boy” Come from a huge family with lots of “Frankies”, including my navy vet dad. He uttered very similar sentiments after JFK was assassinated. He felt his generation fought and died for an illusion, for nothing. He saw the military brass for what they were. I didn’t understand that then. I do now.
Stay with, give praise, thanks to the Lord.
Reality just simply is. 🙌
My view, Frank…
There are two entities.
There is the United States…
…and there is AMERICA!
The United States, a cabal of hate and lies, is a country (barely if at all now) that is unknown to me, is foreign to me. Its master is satan and all his acolytes whose souls he has collected and amassed and installed in every heretofore trusted institution. Some lost souls apparently don’t even realize that is what they have become; and those he has specifically installed in some of the earthly houses built for the worship of his enemy…Almighty God, our Father.
But America??
She still exists.
You, my dear brother, are America. All our family in these branches are America. There are millions and millions of others throughout this vast land whose allegiances are to America…and not to the debauched, amoral, godless construct that seeks to destroy all which God has made because of its seething hatred of everything which is right and honourable and good.
There is no question we are in uncharted, turbulent waters. Dreadful storms have always occurred, and the one we are presently in is, in my opinion, like no other before it.
But God…BUT GOD!!!
You, beloved friend, said that once upon a time…
He it is who is our Helmsman, our Pilot, our unchanged and unchanging Master, our Hope, and our Salvation.
And it is to Him we give our obeisance, not to any man who demands the things which we cannot and will not give.
I feel as if I am on the sidelines watching all of the satanic immorality and corruption which has swallowed up the United States and those who foolishly, arrogantly believe it is they who are gods and have the power.
America has not been destroyed, dear Frank. We still live and breathe and worship and will not be budged or lost. Ours raised voices, louder each day from all quarters, prove it is so.
America…may God continue to shed His grace on thee, we humbly pray. Amen.🙏🏻
We are ONE United States of America.
We The People did not give authority to our representatives to do this.
We did not vote to have our taxes squandered this way.
These clowns do not represent us. They are few, but they wield the power of many.
The USA has been overtaken by an illegal and complicated mafia-style organized crime coup d ‘etat.
The illegals flooding here want our American dream – yet they fail to realize that the criminals in charge only expect them to comply – and they will be trading one slavery of their origin – for the new slavery here.
The Best IS Coming

Watching…waiting…Maranatha🙏🏻
Indeed sis. 🙏✝️🙏
🙌
Took the words right out of my mouth Betsy…your words were better.. mine were still in limbo trying to make sense 😂👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
I was given the grace to get them out as I was thinking, Jim…sometimes that doesn’t happen. I feel the divide very strongly. A good vs evil situation we can all a see and as Archbishop Vigano has in so many addresses and essays defined.

Bless you, silent reader for the repostings of these devotionals and this one today which is particularly apposite.
Good morning all.
Thought I might steal a little bit of the funny picture thunder this morning.
After Seeing These Photos We’ve Really Seen it All (msn.com)
I’ll explain my absence after the incident on the Presidential Thread.
I felt like I was trying to claw the thing down.
I felt that others were aghast at the innocence of the poster – when I don’t care if the poster’s name was Jesus Christ Himself – what was shown was utter evil. And it was of Norman Rockwell likeness – all to normalize the ghastly picture.
I was CLAWING it down.
For that image not only represents heinous crimes against children – which triggers those who have been victimized – but it also ignites salacious intents of those criminals who cannot control their appetites. We are on a social media platform – both of those exist here.
In combination with that which I learned from the RFK Jr speech I attended, I questioned greatly my distraction… and my attempt at escapism in my time spent on the Tree.
WE ARE AT WAR.
I am in the thick of it with the attacks against us, my daughter, the battle for her mind… and for my own. I lost my home due to Obamacare policies – and at the hands of someone whom my daughter should have been able to trust.
I have hate for the corrupt pResident and its faux administration which represents no interests other than its own. There is nothing in this administration – demonRAT or republiCON that represents We The People – they have pissed on and pissed away – our Constitution.
I want to hate what the Lord hates and love what the Lord loves.
I am not sorry for creating a scene here. Not sorry one bit. There is no room for such vulgarity here. No room and no quarter should be given… not ever.
10 flags – we must be alert to police this site accordingly – but heed my warning, no online site is safe.
Do not co-exist with evil – do not give it quarter. Beat it back as if you were stomping out a flaming ember… before it rages into a wildfire. Don’t just stand there and watch! We can see what has happened to us when we are guilted into co-existing. The flaming ember becomes a fire storm of epic proportions – and then it’s not just 10 of us beating it back.
Our leniency has caused great tribulation on our people, on our faith, and on our country.
We lost the will and fortitude of our forefathers.
May God have mercy on us.
Right makes might
I wish the right would make some military gestures to save our Republic!
I was thinking more along the lines of “righteous ” or “righteousness “. “Make sure you’re right then proceed with might.”
Yes…. intention & purpose
IMHO sis, things are so broken, like a vacant house left to crumble down upon itself, it cannot be fixed. But, rather, torn down and razed, for another to built there. This is a terrorizing theory, but it won’t be the first time God tore down and judged, then rebuilt what He originally intended. And you can apply that to people and countries.
Good morning Stevie!
Blessed morning to you Monti! 💝🤗
Good Sunday, morning, monti🙏🏻💕
Perfect metaphor. With His mercies and grace, may we and those who follow us build a house that is worthy for Him to live in. It will be a long term project, I fear. The rot in this one runs all throughout.
Remember that Catbird pic I posted a bit back? I went to Pigeon Forge in TN and saw one in my hotel parking lot. I had nesting Song Sparrows there, who have changed their nesting spots to Chic-Fil-a’s and other types of businesses with the proper shrubbery to escape Cowbird nest predation imo. That’s where I see them now.
I had all kinds of birds right at the hotel. Waxwings, Titmice, Robins, Mockers, etc. Tennessee is beautiful.
I’m about to watch your videos from yesterday. Enjoy your coffee as I am enjoying mine. I had my coffee shipment come in yesterday.
Cedar waxwings. They are wanderers which move in flocks. They are much more common here than where I used to live. I get them in my yard at all seasons irregularly here. Never get tired of seeing them
Aren’t they lovely! Striking delineated colours. Interesting to me that both female and male don’t exhibit the stark colour contrasts which you see with other birds, such as cardinals.And her with a berry in her beak. What a fabulous photograph, Colkitto.
Enjoy your Sunday morning with that coffee😊Second cup for me in the offing💕
Swamp draining is in progress.

Beautiful. Yes. Absolutely!!
(Note to self: Make time to do this!!!! Lots of it.)
Don’t know where you all find these… but this is certainly where I WANT to be. Looks a little like my Heaven.

THE NEVER-FAILING GOD
“For He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” Heb. xii. 5
What line does my thought take? Does it turn to what God says or to what I fear? Am I learning to say not what God says, but to say something after I have heard what He says? “He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”
“I will in no wise fail thee” – not for all my sin and selfishness and stubbornness and waywardness. Have I really let God say to me that He will never fail me? If I have listened to this say-so of God’s, then let me listen again.
“Neither will I in any wise forsake thee.” Sometimes it is not difficulty that makes me think God will forsake me, but drudgery. There is no Hill Difficulty to climb, no vision given, nothing wonderful or beautiful, just the commonplace day in and day out – can I hear God’s say-so in these things?
We have the idea that God is going to do some exceptional thing, that He is preparing and fitting us for some extraordinary thing by and bye, but as we go on in grace we find that God is glorifying Himself here and now, in the present minute. If we have God’s say-so behind us, the most amazing strength comes, and we learn to sing in the ordinary days and ways.

Worth pondering… Psalms 118:9
“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.”
1944, at this time in southern England.
The activity had been frenetic for days now as long convoys of troops and equipment had been moving ever so slowly, bumper to bumper, towards the 171 embarkation ports. Ports located all along the southern coast of England, up in the Bristol Channel and in the Thames estuary. And some as far north as Scotland.
Most movements towards the ports were made at night to provide some protection from being detected if the Luftwaffe somehow managed to get a reconnaissance aircraft through. But no such aircraft came. The Luftwaffe was now completely on the defensive, stretched beyond it’s capabilities trying to protect the infrastructure on the ground their troops held and the German homeland from the relentless bombing campaign of the RAF and USAAF.
And so, having established the key prerequisite of total air superiority over the Channel and proposed battleground the Allies had prepared the battleground they would fight on. Bridges, train stations, tunnels, and key logistical links and communications centers had been bombed time and again. Critical crossroads for major roads passing through towns had been laid to waste so that they would be clogged by the rubble in order to delay any reinforcements and supplies to the units than manned the “west wall”.
Even the heavy bombers of the RAF and USAAF had been diverted from their strategic bombing campaigns to carry out strikes on key tactical targets in Normandy. Not without strenuous objection from the commanders of those forces. But Ike had demanded it or he would refuse to carry out the invasion and in doing so had established that he was indeed Supreme Commander, not only in title but in fact.
Ike had also had his run in with Churchill over this strategy of destruction of the infrastructure. Churchill, concerned about the moral and political effects of the inevitably high French civilian casualties that would result, had sought to set a limit on the campaign. Ike had won that argument also. In part because de Gaulle had declared that the French people would suffer whatever it took to ensure their liberation. So at that key juncture the man that had caused Ike tremendous problems in the past and would in the future, backed the Supreme Commander.
As the troops had moved to the ports they had passed massive parks of vehicles and equipment and stacks of camouflaged crates of supplies. All the warehouses had been filled long ago and once they were filled the crates were piled high wherever there was room to do so and they could be provided some cover and be camouflaged if possible.
Everyone knew it was coming. That day. They had known for some time. Despite the dismay of many Brits in the coarseness, and lack of manners, of their American cousins many American soldiers who had been billeted in the homes of British families and had boarded trains had been seen off at the stations by the families they had lived with as if they were part of their family.
And now, the activity on the roads passing through the villages had almost ceased. The troops were on their ships and landing craft and a great quiet pervaded the land as if everyone was holding their breath.
More good History.. Ty..👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
God morning, dear Jim ((waving!!)) 💕
I was in Spirit, on the Lord’s Day,
And heard a loud voice, like a trumpet,
It was saying: I am Alpha and Omega.
Fear not; I am the first One and the last One.
And I was dead and now alive forever and ever. Amen;
Behold, a throne was set in heaven, and the One sat on the throne.
Around the throne, I saw the elders and the beasts
Each of the beast’s having six wings and all around full of eyes.
They never rest a day or night, keep saying:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord; which was and is, and is to come.
Our God Almighty, which was and is, and is to come.
Then those twenty-four holy elders fall down before the One who’s sitting,
They cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
You are worthy! You are worthy! To have glory, honor, power:
You created all the things and by your will, we exist.

Good morning weweed
BTW that new puppy that Tony showed at the end of the video I posted yesterday did not make it. It had a congenital defect and passed. Tony buried it yesterday morning. He took the pups mother for a walk yesterday afternoon.
The designated areas where the units to carry out the invasion were gathered and confined in were called “sausages” because of the shape of the symbol that designated the locations of those areas on the maps.
The sausages for the Airborne troops, paratroopers and glider troops, were located at the airfields from which they would depart. Those of the amphibious troops were located as close to their port of debarkation as possible.
All leaves had been canceled when the movement to the sausages had been immanent. At each sausage a tent was erected and in it were sand tables and maps. Once the troops had been briefed they were allowed as much time as they needed to study the sand tables, and maps, and in some cases models built so they could become completely familiar with their objectives. The perimeter of all the sausages were guarded and the countryside around them had counter intelligence types and MPs roaming to try and make sure that no troops snuck out.
It was from these sausages that the troops had moved to their ports. Despite the precautions British Civilians still managed to make their way to the perimeter of some of the sausages to show their support and well wishes for those inside.
As soon as the troops had departed the sausages for their port of debarkation new units moved into them. These were the first follow up units that would be landed after the initial assault had established the beach heads.
One of my cousins is in Airborne right now. Did you see my NJ Sloppy Joe article rah? Regards mate
No. I’m sorry I missed it.
It’s on yesterday’s ot. You’ll enjoy it. Ciao
I found it. As far as the Army food goes I have no great recipes. My rations were stripped to the minimum and because of heavy load and space generally only packed the ruck for one meal a day. Gorp and possibly instant oatmeal rounded it out. Two packs in a small zip lock pour in the hot water, squish it around to mix it, bite the corner off the bag and squeeze it into your mouth. Raman noodles made a good trail meal but though they are light, they’re bulky.
My first winter warfare exercise we were on the ground for 15 days. In that time I lost 15 lb. And it wasn’t like I had much body fat to begin with.
I did however enjoy some great meals at some of the places we went, sampling the local fare. Also some not so great but ate and pretended to enjoy because if I hadn’t it would have insulted the indigenous persons who had provided it and I was dining with.
Liked the Italian Army field rations the best! They had a plastic envelop of cognac in them. German rations were pretty good too. It seemed like half the Norwegian Army diet consisted of herring and it is amazing that I still like herring today. Belgium Army mess hall rations were nothing to brag about in either quality or quantity. But all of the European Army rations that I ever consumed were better than those I consumed in Liberia, Nigeria, and Lebanon. Though out on the economy in those countries there was some great stuff, and especially so in Lebanon.
Now to be honest the Cuckoo I was lucky enough to see fly over my yard yesterday could have been a Black-billed or Yellow-billed Cuckoo, but the bird I saw was definitely a Cuckoo species. Their long tail is distinctive. Their population explodes when there is caterpillar outbreaks. They are big tree protectors because some of those caterpillars are so many, they harm/kill trees by eating all the leaves and defoliating them
I remember hearing them when in the Apennine mountains of Italy. Their distinctive call can be heard from far away if the wind is right.
Lucky you visiting Italy. On my travel list, very high up in fact
I was there three times. All while in the military. The first time I remember listening to their call we were split team with Italian Special Forces. We had Italian mountain troops called Alpini looking for us as the opposing Force.
We had just infiltrated and were hiding out at a place on the side of the mountain where a small shelter had been built under a huge rock, complete with a little fireplace with chimney, though we dare not use it. It had been built as a hideout by the Italian resistance during WW II which were opposing the Germans and working with the allies after Mussolini fell from power and Italy had surrendered . The dirt floor was covered with dried porcupine droppings.
It was April. The controllers of the exercise gave the Alpini our position and they came up the mountain after us. Our Italian guide was an old Noncom that had been an Alpini. He led us up the mountain into a blizzard. After starting to descend down the other side we got out of the snow storm but the ground was covered with deep snow.
The guide carried a long handle ice axe and told us to strictly follow his trail. As he walked down he would reach over and poke the snow with the handle of that ice axe and it would collapse revealing a depression in the jagged rocks under the snow that was 20 feet deep or more. After the first one I was able to spot the slight difference in the shading of the snow that bridged those places marking where those dangerous traps were.
That was my first time in the higher mountains as an SF soldier and it was a lesson I never forgot. I had just come to the team from the SFQC (Special Forces Qualification Course) in early December the year before and that was my first time in Europe and my first time taking part in a major exercise working with foreign troops.
By the time we had gotten to the bottom of the mountain it was dark. We entered a long tunnel with a small gauge rail line in it as miners used. It was pitch black and we kept our hand on the man in front of us. The tunnel emerged into a big marble quarry. Tall walls of marble glistening in the moonlight raised up above us. I was told that quarry was started during Roman times and was still being worked. Beautiful with the veins of different colors running through the big white marble vertical slabs.
I learned many lessons during that exercise which was code named Muflone and was based on the premise that the Soviet Union had successfully invaded and occupied northern Italy.
rah: Very interesting story. Great descriptions.
Guess what? It was not the Russians who invaded northern Italy. It’s the Chinese. They work in the garment industry.
As opposed to the myriad “culture enrichers” (as Baron Bodissey reference them) which have embedded themselves in all the rest of that country.
these days, it’s skiers and snowboarders who fall into those snow collapse caverns
they tend to form around trees, so skiers who like to ski thru the trees are susceptible to them
I have done a pretty fair amount of off piste down hill and alpine touring skiing and never came across the mine field like that one again. There was a lot of them and they were above the tree line and there weren’t any big rocks or anything projecting to warn you. It just appeared to be an open snow field.
I did however, come across cornices that could have been deadly if one didn’t understand the hazard. And in places with a steep down grade where there were small cliffs that were hidden from directly above that could put the hurt on ya. One gets feel for where you can let it go downhill and where it is best to be cautious and take wide traverses after doing for a time.
You know I enjoy an adrenalin rush as much as the next guy but the stuff I see some those extreme skiers doing is down right crazy. It’s kind of like free climbing. It only takes once. The Alps are full of little monuments and plaques marking the place where a free climber’s rush ended for good.
I always think of that time worn phrase “a cuckoo in the nest” (as they frequently lay their eggs in another bird’s nest). An apt phrase for an embedded traitor (s), such as those who submarined President Trump.
Love the wing markings on this one!

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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER

I posted this movie months ago. I saw some videos up yesterday about Beatrix Potter which made me want to post it. One of those good clean movies. Renee Zellweger also did a great movie about the father of the Sword & Sorcery genre of books Robert E Howard called “The Whole Wide World”which was a great movie but sad because like many of our great artists, his genius and imagination bordered on insanity.
I ADORED this wonderful movie, Colkitto. We really wanted to see it again. The performances were superb, and she had a near perfect British accent. Alas and drat….on Prime must pay. So that was that. But it was so well done. One of my favourites.

Faith over Politics
PEPE LIVES MATTER
JUN 4, 2023
https://pepelivesmatter.substack.com/p/faith-over-politics?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
“If all you did every day was stare at the news cycle highlighted by the Patriots, you’d think there was absolutely no way we could ever see victory. Politics can have an uncanny ability to wear on you and tire you out after a while. That is one of the reasons I admire Trump so much. It’s like he was born and designed to battle against them in political warfare. He is an absolute tank. Unmoving.
He’s a stalwart.
If I focused every single day on how they might destroy our country, then that is truly all I would come to see. I will lose hope that the country can be saved.
If I, like David, focus on how powerful God is, I will throw my stone at the enemy and see Goliath defeated.
Every single other person in that army was focused on how big and ominous the giant looked. He was taunting them, loudly.
Isn’t that what the enemy is doing now? Taunting those of us who see clearly.
But is that the real truth? I say no.
The truth is that God wins. That reality supersedes all other events. No matter what you are going through, it is THE truth. He is victory.
If we focused on that with greater clarity, we would find our leaps of faith going a little higher every single time, we’d find that Goliath actually seems rather small. Not to us, but to God, who is with us.
Since this part of the journey is specifically designed for the normies, I truly feel we have to continue to look towards God or else we become discouraged and lose heart.
Sometimes what’s happening on the surface level will not give you what you need to continue to move forward.
We have to look from a different perspective and see beyond the mud slinging.
Every day we wake up in this precipice, we are actively engaged in a leap of faith.
Once this awakening has its effect, we need a revival like never before for God.
No amount of political strife can change many of these lost souls’ hearts, but God can.
Confused souls can find peace, even the most lost can be made new.
God can do what politics cannot.
He can bring healing, comfort, and real transformation.
We need fighters to rise up in the swamp and fight back. Don’t get me wrong.
But what this world needs more than anything is a wave of revelation about God and everything else can fall into place.
I happen to feel that all these blatant red pills being distributed by the “movie” is setting the stage for such a moment.
We could all use more prayer in our lives.
If you find your wings getting weighed down, readjust your attitude, set your sights on something more substantial than DC. There is a higher power far stronger than any cabal elite and He’s making something beautiful out of all this chaos.

Thank you, duchess😘. He’s not wrong about anything. Lifting our eyes higher from the detritus of intentional chaos. Evil always works to disturb, confound, distract, disrupt, destroy in order to defeat.
“O God of peace, who hast taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be our strength; By the might of thy Spirit lift us, we pray thee, to thy presence, where we may be still and know that thou art God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
