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 β

Small but important point. They are ballots, not votes!
they’ll be votes once they get ’em inside and count ’em

Are they on their lunch break? Look at those shoes!
the gal seated has short, clunky heels and the photo translation says 1970s
the girls in my high-school senior class in 1970-71 wore those kind of clunky heels and mini-skirts, wool plaid if it was Fall fashion season
and yeah, likely on lunch break, I’m guessing April or early May from the overcoats on the subjects farther down the line
I would guess there was a cold wind blowing.

My old man, Tucker, the Chiweenie, will be 16 in September. He’s still like a puppy. He loves running the fence line barking at passersby with his 10 year old best friend, Buddy, the big standard dachshund. Both are characters!
Buckleys stub of a tail spins so fast at times I think that he could use it to power himself through water and leave a wake doing so.

Morning Garrison!
We lost 5 last night.
King Cobra got in, 5 meters, it killed 1 dog and 4 cats. We take in strays, give them food/water, clothes, take them to the vet, and give them a sanctuary. Yeah, we love animals.
Cobra got in between the house and the wall, cats never had a chance they just wanted to play. Very sad day.
When your animals are suffering and you have to put a gun to their head knowing they have a death sentence, tell me how you feel.
It doesn’t matter where you go, the @#$% always follows …
In memory ..
So sorry!
Where do you live? You don’t have some service that can use something to kill them?
Unless it is an escaped pet, they are found in South and Southeast Asia. And depending on where, it could be illegal to kill or trade them.
Jim there are plenty of cobras in some places in Africa. Some of the spitting kind.
I live in Thailand. The worse part was, the Siamese cat ended up killing the cobra, got it by the neck and would not let go.
But the Thai cat brought the dead kitty into the house, it cleaned it and kept touching it, saying “wake up, wake up !!!” Every time we tried to get the dead cat out, the Thai cat would attack us.
Horrible to watch.
So sorry Gabriel, to hear about the loss of your kitties and the dog. God Bless You for taking care of these homeless animals.
π
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦π’
Very sorry to hear of this loss.
Godspeed this great loss.
I’m sorry, Gabriel…………….looking for more words……..can’t find them, my friend.
Iβm very sorry Gabrielβ¦
Sorry to read this, Gabriel. I understand completely about your kitties never having a chance. This was hard.
I’m so very sorry.

When I was a little kid my mom bought an album for me. It was titled The Littlest Outlaw and was the story of an abused horse, a little boy who loved the horse and a happy ending. That album is the first video, almost 8 minutes.
Apparently Disney also made a movie of the same title. I didn’t see the movie but the second video shows some clips of it. It’s about 5 minutes.
I listened to this album so many times I’m sure my mom wished she had never bought it, but she would dutifully play it again for me.

WHAT NEXT?
Determine to know more than others. “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.” John xiii. 17
If you do not cut the moorings, God will have to break them by a storm and send you out. Launch all on God, go out on the great swelling tide of His purpose, and you will get your eyes open. If you believe in Jesus, you are not to spend all your time in smooth waters just inside the harbour bar, full of delight, but always moored; you have to get out through the harbour bar into the great deeps of God and begin to know for yourself, begin to have spiritual discernment.
When you know you should do a thing, and do it, immediately you know more. Revise where you have become stodgy spiritually, and you will find it goes back to a point where there was something you knew you should do, but you did not do it because there seemed no immediate call to, and now you have no perception, no discernment; at a time of crisis you are spiritually distracted instead of spiritually self-possessed. It is a dangerous thing to refuse to go on knowing.
The counterfeit of obedience is a state of mind in which you work up occasions to sacrifice yourself; ardour is mistaken for discernment. It is easier to sacrifice yourself than to fulfil your spiritual destiny, which is stated in Romans xii. 1-2. It is a great deal better to fulfil the purpose of God in your life by discerning His will than to perform great acts of self-sacrifice. “To obey is better than sacrifice.” Beware of harking back to what you were once when God wants you to be something you have never been. “If any man will do…he shall know.”

The Lord made all that he did to prosper In his hand. Gen. 39:3
Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Psa. 128:1-2
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psa. 37:3-4
Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Josh. 1:9
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matt. 6:33
As long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper. II Chron. 26:5
Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. Deut. 8:11, 17
Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? I Chron. 22:18
Evening
Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Mark 2:8
Being not weak in faith, [Abraham] considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb; he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. Rom. 4:19-20
Is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? Mark 2:9
If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Matt. 28:18
Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? Matt. 4:40
Behold the fowls of the air; … your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Matt. 6:26
Why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? Do ye not … remember the five loaves of the five thousand? Matt. 16:8-9
My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:19

Our inner self is being renewed day by day. β 2 Corinthians 4:16
Perhaps when you were a child you heard that the cells in your body are replaced every seven years. You might think, if that were true, you would be a new person each time another seventh year rolled around. It does not work that way. Yet cells do change. They grow old and worn out, die, are discarded and replaced with new ones to begin the cycle again. Cells in your stomach lining, for example, might be replaced as fast as every two days. Skin cells turn over every two to three weeks. Red blood cells, if your body is healthy, last about four months. But your fat cells have a ten-year lifespan!
The full text of todayβs verse says, βSo do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.β Your inner self, the part that connects regularly to God, needs regular renewal. A day of hope will replace a day of disappointment. A day of feeling spiritually strong should take the place of one that was weak. A day of confusion needs to be exchanged for one of confidence.
You can name your own needs and the places where God is bringing daily renewal.
In Psalm 51:10, David prayed, βCreate in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.β He was looking for change. Remember to pray this for yourself! As you consider the people of the United States and those who serve in leadership positions, ask that God would draw them to pray, as David did, for hearts that are clean before Him, and spirits that are right with one another.

Good morning all!
I feel the need to clarify by expounding upon a subject I touched on yesterday. The British were staring to suffer manpower shortages because they had been at war for 5 years by the time of invasion of Normandy. The British Army had first fought in France and been evacuated in the Mircale at Dunkirk. That evacuation by the way was organized by Admiral Bertram Ramsey who was the overall commander of the Allies naval forces for Overlord.
After the fight in France they fought hard, in in the lost causes of Norway, Greece and Cyprus. Then N. Africa where the commonwealth forces from Australia, New Zealand, and S. Africa had all sent units to help. While that was going on there were several smaller but important conflicts in the middle east and Abyssinia they had to deal with. Then in the invasions of Sicily and Italy.
In that time, right up to the invasion of Italy, Britian had supplied the bulk of the forces engaging the Germans and Italians.
And in the Far east they fought and lost at Singapore and Hong Kong, and continued to fight through the rest of the war in India/Burma.
And the Royal Navy was the largest Navy in the European and Mediterranean theaters. And the RAF bomber command continued to grow throughout the war.
Is it any wonder that by the time of the invasion of Normandy the Britain was running short of manpower! And so during the fight across Europe had to on occasion, deactivate various units and whole Divisions in order to maintain others at fighting strength.
Forgot Crete.

βO LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!β
Psalms 8:9 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!!!
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 βfaith my fearsβ 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 Iβm 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.

Joe Bastardi talking about the possibility of tornado outbreaks starting next week. At this time it looks like East TX, AR, and LA are most likely to see the first one.
does Joe talk about drought in western Oregon? no rain here since late April. none in sight until October. how in heck will I wash my neck if it ain’t gonna rain no more?
Joe has not said anything lately about it.
Just pay the Carbon Tax mafia a percentage and they will stop the tornadoes.
Yea, just like the Arctic will be ice free by the summer of 2008!

A WARNING: DAYS OF NOAH ARE HERE
JULIE GREEN MINISTRIES
https://rumble.com/v2sv4x2-a-warning-days-of-noah-are-here.html
This was very interesting to me, information about how we are influenced by evil and why, to what ends. Not that we donβt know this but it reaffirms by the perpetrators.
I was a little down yesterday for a number of reasons, one being all my migrants have already passed through, and my yard has been on the quiet side as nesting #1 finished for my Bluebirds (which I had not seen for a few weeks since they took their first set of fledglings and left the area), Cardinals, Thrashers, and the very active Mockingbirds which were nesting in the Hollies along the driveway in the front just finished with their fledglings which they had been feeding in my front & side yards.
I decided to check my Bluebird box. I tapped on the side and I was surprised a female Bluebird flew out. I opened the top to peek and saw 2 eggs! I than did not open but looked at my new Chickadee box and there was twigs in there that I could see (Chickadees are not so accommodating as Bluebirds with Humans looking into their homes). So possible Chickadees and definite Bluebirds nesting #2. An immediate pick me up.

Our Robin of the Porch Light is laying her second set this week, egg #3 today. Her first 4 fledged about 1 1/2-2 weeks ago. Such a joy watching. She doesn’t seem to mind our going in and out or the dogs. I put out meal worms for her and her own water dish.
The lightning bugs arrived a few weeks ago and I spotted the first June bug tonight.
I just love watching all the life happening right in my back yard.
I love hearing personal nature stories from treepers. Too myself, and obviously you as well (and others here like Bet, Molon, etc etc) watching and helping nature is more than a hobby. Keep up the great work and be sure and tell me more. Keep your eye on your yard! Cheers

Found this Igor Chudov substack quite disturbing yet also confirming a comment the current resident of the White House made as an off-hand comment, to the effect that soon the number of new nursing homes needed is going to rise dramatically because of the increase of dementia.
It seems that numbers found in a Dutch study are confirming the increase in cognitive and memory problems in people aged 45-74, an increase of 40%; and not limited to that age group but people aged 25 and up:

JUST FOR FUN
COME DANCE WITH ME
Sitting and waiting a long while for you
What is a wallflower supposed to do
Ladies in waiting for possibilities
Scrutinizing probabilities
They strut their stuff just to simply impress
As if that is all one needs to address
Is there motion and movement maneuver
Do his eyes express he will approve her
Does he glide and guide her to ecstasy
For all to observe so powerfully
Is there a flow to their core connection
Without a doubt in their glow reflection
The look in the eye conveys but a clue
Of whether the bond is actually true
The caress of a partner oh so fine
Is hard to determine or deft define
Come Dance with Me to definitely see
If there is an attachment tween you and me
The dance will decide what is meant to be
An apt audition unexpectedly
Can you see the majesty of the dance
Tis not just two bodies about to prance
The eloquent flow and abandonment
With each subsequent step and increment
Come Dance With Me until the morning light
Let’s see what develops throughout the night
Whatever will be will be once again
As our spirits unite where love will reign
