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 †

Every Single Day!!!
Hi Betsy, How are you today? The “Pretty ” picture here inspired me to share some things with you, and whoever might be interested, about sugar.
How important is it to get sugar out of our diet completely? The manipulation and deceit and abuse knows no end! It appears that nearly every facet of life is beset with fraud and corruption, of greedy dogs seeking only to devour for themselves, at the cost of everyone else’s lives and well being. There is so much shocking information available to us now, in the “information age,” that no one need continue in ignorance about what wicked men have been doing, at the expense of our health. From the fraudulent claims of a two-bit scam operation, called, The Heart Association; taking a fortune from food manufacturers to put their truly and actually worthless “Approval” on their products; to the whole Sugar industry; we have been lied to and abused; and as long as the politicians can make themselves wealthy, and gain influence; they all get a free pass.
Too much to put in a little post, but I thought some might be interested to learn a few things; in case they haven’t yet. I thought your picture of all these pretty sweets was a perfect opportunity to bring it up. Hope everyone will think about these things, for their health’s sake.
You Will NEVER Want Sugar Again After Watching This
The BITTER TRUTH About Sugar & How It Causes INFLAMMATION | Robert Lustig
Very interesting! Loved the part about not taking rx drugs. And i’ve been in pharm research most of my career
I agree! The part where they talk about how the Medical System operates; not to discover and address the root causes, to bring cure and health, which then “downstream” would take care of the resulting diseases; but to only address the symptoms, (like putting buckets around to catch the water, but not fixing the leaky roof,) seems like such common sense! And it really makes me wonder, how in the world there could seriously be any opposition to that?
At any rate; we are sure very thankful to be FINALLY learning these things; and not just hearing fragments and people’s guessings, but real proven common sense facts! Our parents were very health conscious, and tried with what they knew (or what they were told was true) to give us always real food, etc. But there was so much misplaced trust in institutions and authorities, which no one imagined could be anything but trustworthy.
The other thing I liked from the interview, was the reference to how Covid should have been dealt with. I totally agree with the proven therapies, which happen also to be the ones they prevented anyone from obtaining; but with regards to the healthy diet of real foods, eaten by the so-called less developed countries, being such a simple and true cause for their low mortality rates; compared to the “developed” countries, who were held in darkness and bondage to a really poison diet, and given masks, and told to wash their hands and social distance!
“But there was so much misplaced trust in institutions and authorities, which no one imagined could be anything but trustworthy.”
exactly this! We have been duped.
I only got a few minutes into the 2nd vid (watched the whole first one), so I’ll try to watch it later. I’d like to hear more about dealing with covid.
🙂
Morning Betsy , Patience, and all Treepers this am …love the pics.. I had similar dock on small pond to sit and relax with Sam..(my Lab)..ah, memories, thx ..
🌹🌹🙏👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Hello there, Jim.
it is wonderful to have a library of good memories.
-We are so blessed.
Have an enjoyable day, you.
Hey, good morning, Jim😘
Memories are precious. If we close our eyes we are still there. Beyond price😌
Hi Jim, labs are some of the best!
For sure …use to raise them..had great fun…retrieving a duck ( when I could actually bring one down 🤣👍)…
🇺🇸💪😀👍

The staff showed up. Enjoying a lovely mug of tea with friends now.
(That would be you and all the rest of our beloved Treepers🤗💕)
Nice little courtyard for morning coffee. Bright sunlight on the whitewashed wall will stimulate your eye-brain network to start your daytime metabolism
I’ve seen some Andrew Huberman videos that essentially say that very thing.
My problem is that I get up before 3AM for work, and can’t get to any sunlight, which sorta makes it more of a challenge.
Can’t sleep to save my life. It’s really, really getting old. Going to see my spine surgeon tomorrow. I’ve never met anyone with a fusion who can sleep. Maybe he can advise. I hope.
I am extremely thankful that I can walk and work. Gotta look at the bright side. God has blessed me.
Meanwhile, I could go for breakfast in that courtyard!
🙏
My son had back surgery. He’s ex Navy, seen by the VA, eventually operated upon by a private doctor (thank you, President Trump).
I am more sorry for your situation than I can possibly tell you, Greg. You and CR, our other Treeper buddy with his horrible back who has suddenly disappeared from this branch.
Prayers, prayers, and more prayers for you both, my friend🙏🏻💕
A suggestion, Greg. Two friends with lower back problems found relief by getting a “deep massage”. Not sure about the particulars but it is apparently different from a regular massage. I’ve had chronic lower back problems for decades. Mine are intermittent and a good neurosurgeon suggested that I not have surgery. Good luck.
Agree
In addition to that:
If one can make /find the time
and be diligent (every day)
self physical therapy can often be very helpful.
A brother has been able to avoid both cordizone/epidural shots and surgery for about a year by landing an excellent chiropractor; who not only does minimal adjustments, but provided a very specific routine of stretches and muscle building ‘exercises’ that increase with his physical progress.
All has been in conjunction with x-rays and mri, etc under a doctor’s care/ advice.
I don’t know how he does it…. , brother is very disciplined and determined.
Greg, I wish you all the best.
-all the best.
Greg1… I’m not a doctor and don’t play one on tv…just a personal story… 1957 had ruptured disc in L4-5 area… Navy doctors showed me possible bone fusion but decided to clean out soft tissue and let space fill with scar tissue etc.. after some rehab I was good to go light duty then back to ship and sea duty ..at the time rode motorcycles never had any problems..now at 88 can still kick start my Panhead 😂👍.. just one guys story of “back” issues..🤔
🇺🇸💪😀👍
..
Never give up those bikes, Jim. My hubs is a bike man born and bred and owned many in the UK. Doesn’t have one now, bit his enthusiasm for them will always be there.💕
Cafe’ racing!!
LOLOL!!!!😂
Didn’t I see him at the Isle of Mann
Hahahahaaaaa!!! The TT Races? He has ridden the course but not competitively. No chance!!😎
I so miss riding. Former secretary of a military motorcycle touring club back in the day. If I couldn’t get a sitter the kids and I followed the pack in my little Chevette 4 speed.
Great way to improvise!
“. . . now at 88 can still kick start my Panhead . . .”
Well daayamm, Jim, that’s pretty doggone impressive! I was a short-term “faux biker”. Had a fast Ducati Desmo . . . and promptly scared the pee out of myself. Decided that bike was way faster than I was and then decided I was better off sticking to 4 wheelers. 🙂
My doctor dad, A trauma surgeon, warned me never to get on one. He saw enough closed head injuries on his time.
And he had a look which told me I’d better listen.
Unfortunately a UT date showed up at my hoity toity dorm carrying two helmets and off we went.
Made it to the restaurant and back no problems, but I could hear my dad’s voice to and back.
One of those UT things I kept to myself and never said a word….
Did some street racing but in truth I just like taking trips… started when rode 38’ Knuckle head back and forth to ship and home.. after discharge made trips up to Laconia, NH, down to Maryland and my bigy was NY to Key West…😂👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍

Airrosti provide great help. Don’t know if they are in your neck of the woods.
Greg, you may want to look into a therapy light to get you into “sunlight” earlier. They are used to help people that get winter blues from less daylight. It also helps with circadian rhythm for those who work nights.
I get your back pain. I ruptured the disc between L4-L5. The pain was so bad I asked my husband to shoot me. I got a great neurosurgeon who took great care of me, who went in and removed all the pieces of my disc, no fusion, no rods. I do have residual sciatica but it’s livable. That was in 1994 and have been good since.
I pray you will also get great care and treatment to relieve all your pains.
Greg, consult with your doctors, but it sounds to me like you need to ENTIRELY shift to that 3am schedule
I think you’d want to get an ultraviolet light – the kind people use in winter who suffer from seasonal affective disorder — and have it bouncing off a white kitchen wall while you have coffee and breakfast.
Then in late afternoon you’d want to avoid bright sunlight — dark sunglasses and ballcap with a brim as you’re driving home from work — and dim house lights and computer nighttime setting until bedtime early evening (it sounds like).
You probably want to look carefully at all your household evening lighting and change it all out to the more red-shifted side of the spectrum. Look at the “temperature” ratings and seek the lower-temperature-rated lighting. Stay away from the high-temperature “blue” part of the spectrum, look for “warm”. When those CFC lights first came out, I learned about those ratings, stay away from anything that says “sunlight” or “full spectrum”
And probably melatonin early evening and a lot of jack-me-up with breakfast
They say exposure to bright sunlight first thing in the morning will wake up your daytime metabolism and reset your biological clock daily
Your issue is you need to start the bright sunlight while it’s still dark (the UV light) and start “turning off the sun” in mid-afternoon so you can progress into your day’s-end sleep cycle
Try to see a specialist, but wing it if you like on what I’ve described until you’re able
And you may know all this, I may be preaching to the choir
I worked graveyard shift stocking supermarket shelves in college — 11pm to 7:30 am — so I know what you’re up against. I didn’t have this kind of knowledge then to treat myself but I’ve read about it since.
I never did shift from daytime-centered setting. And at 4am stocking shelves I’d be dead on my feet and my head humming, my body was telling me “you really need to go down”
… and, looking down, I see Grandmadeb also made a similar suggestion
… also a UV light in your bathroom, but on a separate fixture and switch — only for morning use
between the bathroom (shower, shave) and the kitchen, you can get maybe 20 min of that 3am UV light before getting out of the house, depending on how quick you eat and run

Every cat whose ever owned me.
a dog and a cat appear before St. Peter. Pete asks dog if he was a good boy. Dog tells how he was loyal, loving, protective and explains he died protecting sheep from wolves. Wow, says Pete, you are wonderful come over here by my side. St. Peter turns to the cat and says now what do you think of that. Cat says “I think you are sitting in my chair.”
LOLOLOLOL!!!!!

Lol, but we get ‘er done now don’t we?
Have you been bugging my devices?!
Evening, Garrison💕
“Hold On”
Right?
Right…
SOLID.
And snagged to send to others, including my wife.
I ain’t much on being a quitter.
George and Tammy
“We’re Gonna Hold On”
54 years for Sherry and me. Quit is a word we don’t use.
That’s right, George. Way too many couples start their life counting on an “Exit” door in the house they build together.
No such word in our vocabulary either😊
Till death do us part❣️
Amen!!
My cousin just bid farewell to her life mate of 63+years. Through thick and thin they were one until Alzheimers took him home into the arms of his and our Jesus.
Good morning Bet! You must have loaded on coffee after being up late last night. 😁❤️
Nope, no quitting.
Good morning GrandpaM
You may be correct , but I’m thinking Betsy our friend is primed to go no matter the time or place
Mornin friend 😊
☘️🍀☘️
Morning Mo!
You betcha!!!😂👍🏻
Haha!! Got in bed sleepy. Within 30 minutes I was pop eyed. Do I lie there, or do I get up. Get up won. Cup of tea and get ahead of my posting for this morning. I TOLD you my turn was coming!😁💕
This is where I am now😘😂
😂😂😂
Was right there with you. Finally crashed about 330. It’s a vicious circle. Brain won’t stop, can’t get comfortable, toss and turn, get up to the pot, walk around the house to cool off my burning feet, back to bed to start all over again. Whew, exhausting. I usually need a power nap but today I found myself driving 95 miles to Clarksdale, MS with my grandson to get his repoed car back. Got home in time to fix supper. Fun day, lol. Hope I sleep tonight.
Good on you both, George 🙂
And it begins with trust and loyalty = 55 years.
Happy belated birthday
55 years married
Your a Great American
Good job G

Alfa Romeo
Pretty cars
Room enough for two
Cute lil cars
I think you should get one
Why not
I think a white one would be nice
☘️🍀☘️
Chris had one once upon a time. A 62 Alpha Romeo Spyder. One of many motors he owned, repaired, drove and sold on. But his ownership of that one was short lived. Too expensive to repair because of the top end trouble on the engines constantly….alas.
Reminds me of my first and only car behind the Iron Curtain, a 2 cylinder air cooled little Polish made Fiat. Everything that could break on it broke. Could take it apart blindfolded. Made me allergic to car repairs for many years. Fortunately, eventually I recovered. 😘❤️
Oh he knew those, G!! You’ve made him LOL. What a great thing is to know car repairs. I’m so glad your recovery was complete😂👍🏻😘
Chris ought to get a kick out of this one. One time the fuel line coming from the tank had disconnected. Places that you could drive your cart on and work under it were hard to come by. So a friend and I just lifted one side of the car, balanced the whole thing on the spare tire and fixed the line.
Also, since the engine was in the back anytime I was downtown or at a place where it was hard to park, I’d find a place just big enough for the little car, back in it and get out, grab the front bumper, lift the front and slide it to the curb and voila, I was parked. Got out in reverse. 🙂

Mine was the color of row 6 left image.
She had a solid head on her shoulders, Garrison. We ladies sometimes have to be the Reality Checkers you know😉👍🏻
Fortunately she liked cars and liked me. 🙂 Too bad I didn’t know Chris, I would have helped him with the top-end problems.
He would have appreciated the company, Garrison. He knew everything about motors…but at the time he had very little money. And that in the end was the thing which made him sell. Simply couldn’t afford what he needed to finish the job. Love ya for that😘

Yes. First bricks laid on which a whole house is built. Truer words were never written, my dear friend 🤗💕
🎯
And
-r e s p e c t
YES!!!!
Agreed. And thinks for reminding me. 🙂
I wish it hadn’t taken me 55 years to figure the trust and loyalty deal out. When I finally figured that out it was like a truth that had been laying there in plain sight all this time.
Respect must have always been there
-or you both couldn’t have had the trust and loyalty.
Also, you must have instinctually known all along.
Lots of things we take-for-granted we only really understand later when we have the wisdom and time to seriously contemplate them.
Very true .
We do it with thoughts actions , people and ourselves; putting it off till ‘tomorrow’ .
Seems to be why we get this gift of a human life…
To live and learn, and re-learn; to come to really know.
In my case that is half right.

Does he wake you in the wee hours of the morning to tell you he can see the bottom of his otherwise filled food bowl? Greg and CR could tell you many stories about that!😂
Truth!
Laughed til I started coughing!!!
Me too. This is sooooo funny and absolutely true.

Try that in a small town
Little Town Texas . . . Coming from the city, you can feel the difference.
True story: we had car trouble on the side of the road. My friend was a skilled mechanic but, of course, we didn’t have tools. There was a country bar across the road and a guy in a rough pick-up had just pulled in . . . We asked to borrow a pair of pliers. He said his tools were in the truck box, we could use what we needed, just be sure to put everything back when we were finished. Definitely bought that guy a beer. Little Town Texas . . .
Well bless him, Garrison. So true about small town Texas which thankfully still exists.

I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool
I have always enjoyed country. And Hank Williams was always cool! When I was 14 years old down in Hardin county Tennessee, I would listen to it while washing the dishes. I was helping my 78 year old Grandpa build a slab house on the 13 acres of mostly woodland Dad had bought along the Tennessee River.
We were living in an old trailer while we built the house. The trailer had no bathroom. We used an outhouse and bathing was done with a hose with cold well water. Once a week we drove the 12 miles, about 1/2 of it gravel roads, into the then small quiet town of Savannah, TN to go the laundry that did our cloths, buy groceries, and fishing bait, and some building supplies.
One of my jobs was the clean up after our meals. No TV, just AM radio. One could get about an hour of rock & roll each day but the rest of the programing was preaching and country music until the evening. Then, after I cleaned up after dinner, Grandpa and I would sit at the two seat table and play buck euchre and listen to a baseball game.
Grandpa called country music, “Hillbilly love sick music” but tolerated me listening to it.
Since it was a slab house the wall sections to mounted using expansion bolts with lead shields into the concrete. Grandpa laid them out and I drilled them by hand using a 3 lb. hammer and a star drill. Grandpa and his brother, Uncle Emmerson had dug the foundation, the septic tank, and pit for the outhouse by hand and worked the concrete themselves before I came down to help Grandpa because Emmerson had some health problems and needed to come back up to home.
Oh! BTW. Outside of Ft. Devens, MA in the town of Ayer, was a CW bar called “The Wagon Wheel” that I would go to frequently before Sherry and I were married. Barbra had performed there several times and there was a autographed picture of her on the wall along with lots of other CW celebrities.

He calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. John 10:3
The foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his; and, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ, depart from iniquity. II Tim. 2:19
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matt. 7:22, 23
The LORD knoweth the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psa. 1:6
Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. Isa. 49:16
Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm. Song 8:6
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. Nah. 1:7

Let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. I John 3:18
If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? James 2:15, 16
He which soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. II Cor. 9:6, 7
When ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. Luke 17:10

Good morning Poyeema
Thank you for the nice posts
☘☘☘
Chutzpah, as I understand it, could have either a positive or negative connotation. For example, assertiveness goes in the direction of chutzbah; but so does “having a lot of nerve.” If someone is bold or fearless, in a good way, that’s chutzbah. However, if the same kind of spirit and actions are bad, and contemptible; it can also be said, You’ve got a lot of chutzbah! My mom and her siblings all seemed to know some Yiddish; and the grandparents generation all knew it; but my generation and after, were never taught it. So I could be mistaken; I’m just saying what I always thought it meant.
When I think of how the elitists pretend not to know things………
I think of this line delivered by a famous actress ……”Murder. I won’t think about that now, I’ll think about that tomorrow.”
Btw…..anyone know the actress or the motion picture?
Was it Grace Kelly in “Rear Window”?
Gosh I loved her. Sheer elegance and a natural beauty. Loved Rear Window as well.
Her mother’s forebears were from the same area of the Black Forest as were mine.
No sir. Nice flick and a real beauty Grace Kelly.
Hint: it was a much earlier motion picture .
I do not know.
I want to guess it was from a talkie based on an Agatha Christie novel or else an early Alfred Hitchcock film.
Vivien Leigh playing Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind.
Thank you! I did not remember at all!
“After all, tomorrow is another day”. Follow up sentence by scarlett.

Evening Duchess. Actually a variant is used several times.
(Quote 5
I’ll think of it all tomorrow, at Tara. I can stand it then. Tomorrow, I’ll think of some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day.
These words, Scarlett’s personal motto, conclude Gone with the Wind. Scarlett repeats some variation of this line several times over the course of the novel when hardships plague her. She knows that she often acts immorally and that she faces absurdly difficult circumstances, and to avoid feelings of guilt and helplessness she simply avoids reflecting on her life. Scarlett knows that eventually she should mull over her plight, but she always puts it off until another, different day, which never truly comes. But this refusal to reflect is crucial to Scarlett’s survival. Her attitude contrasts directly with Ashley’s obsession with the past and his inability to let go of nostalgia and adapt to new times. Scarlett’s determination to believe that “tomorrow is another day” indicates her fundamental optimism about the future. Because Scarlett represents the South, her optimism indicates Mitchell’s general optimism about the South’s ability to survive in the face of change.)
It was the last line of the movie after the infamous frankly I don’t…….
Oops, I see you posted her follow up sentence here! 🙂

Rockers on a porch. The only thing missing is a screen door to slam. No matter. It’s perfect the way it is. The whole world put to rights on that porch I’m betting.
Good morning Betsy.
don’t know about solving the world’s problems but serenity is to be found in such places…..
We’ve solved many in surroundings just liken this. Complete with a cup of tea or coffee.
The problems is that no one listens to us😁

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. Amen.

Good morning, mo💕 Just as I’d imagine it, too, my friend.

Prayer of Manasseh – (Accompanying Bible Reading, 2 Chronicles 33:10-19)
LORD Almighty, God of our ancestors, God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and their righteous children, You made heaven and earth with all their beauty. You set limits for the sea by speaking Your command. You closed the bottomless pit, and sealed it by Your powerful and glorious Name. All things fear You and tremble in Your presence, because no one can endure the brightness of Your glory. No one can resist the fury of Your threat against sinners. But Your promised mercies are beyond measure and imagination, because You are the highest, LORD, kind, patient, and merciful, and You feel sorry over human troubles (LORD, according to Your gentle grace, promised forgiveness to those who are sorry for their sins. In your great mercy, You allowed sinners to turn from their sins and find salvation). Therefore, LORD, God of those who do what is right, You didn’t offer Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, who didn’t sin against You, a chance to change their hearts and lives. But You offer me, the sinner, the chance to change my heart and life, because my sins outnumbered the grains of sand by the sea. My sins are many, LORD; they are many. I am not worthy to look up, to gaze into heaven because of my many sins (Now, LORD, I suffer justly. I deserve the troubles I encounter. Already I’m caught in a trap). I’m held down by iron chains so that I can’t lift up my head because of my sins. There’s no relief for me, because I made You angry, doing wrong in front of Your face, setting up false gods and committing offenses. Now I bow down before You from deep within my heart, begging for Your kindness. I have sinned, LORD, I have sinned, and I know the laws I’ve broken. I’m praying, begging You: Forgive me, LORD, forgive me. Don’t destroy me along with my sins. Don’t keep my bad deeds in Your memory forever. Don’t sentence me to the earth’s depths, for You, LORD, are the God of those who turn from their sins. In me You’ll show how kind You are. Although I’m not worthy, You’ll save me according to Your great mercy. I will praise You continuously all the days of my life, because all of heaven’s forces praise You, and the glory is Yours forever and always. Amen.
Common English Bible
2 Chronicles 33:10-19
“And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to His people: but they would not hearken. Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers, and prayed unto him: and He was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD He was God. Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah. And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city. And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel. Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only. Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel. His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sin, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.”
People are waking up.

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.

“Jesus Loves Me”
A little child’s song this version of which speaks to us all as the children of God 🙏🏻💕
With abundant thanks to fellow absent Treeper 1530 who posted it originally.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
THE DEMONIC DEMISE
Have you noticed the disruption of late
The noise and confusion and the pure hate
The enemy has pulled out all the stops
The masks and agendas and all the props
His Baphomet Transgenda Depopulate
To destroy God’s Creation and abate
From weather tether to intense upset
He deters prosperity thru destructive debt
Who is He who sits on the Throne of Grace
Whose power and dominion all embrace
The earth the sky the sea and all the land
The Alpha and Omega forever stand
Who set the timeline from beginning to end
Whose Word states His resolve will not bend
As set into place from whence time began
Man will take dominion as God had planned
The enemy has hastened his will to destroy
His demon armies he plans to deploy
To finish his mission of servitude
His defunct default his ineptitude
But God knows his time is not of right now
Though he hastens execution anyhow
We must take heart that God is in control
No matter how far we go down the black hole
Patient we must be no matter what bodes
The earth will shake between the crossroads
The sky will go dark give way to the light
And the enemy will soon be set to flight
His armies will be splintered and shattered
His munitions will be tossed and splattered
His power will be lost in the financial crash
As he soon finds himself fresh out of cash

Splendid, duchess! satan keeps saying “Look at me!!”
No thank you. My soul looks higher🙏🏻🕊🌻
AMEN
Agree, Bet !!! And – God will not be mocked. !!!
Get the feeling satan is overly obnoxious lately ???
In your face with his brazenness ???
Pushing the Baphomet image proudly ???
I can no longer read about what they want
to do to children – whether it is the books
in the library or the mutilation of their
bodies, minds, and souls !!!
In the Name of Jesus – STOP !!! 🙁
Oh yes I do get that exact feeling, dear friend. And suddenly as well. In our faces daily, closer and closer.
He wants to obliterate the Holy Face of our Loving Lord Whose Light shines through the darkness🙏🏻
And LIVES in us !!! To kill, steal, and destroy God’s creation !!!
He hates us – and the feeling is mutual !!!
Odious entity. Who could stand to be in his presence even for a split second and not turn the Power higher than he thinks he is.🙏🏻
Fantastic. Thank you. I love your poems from our Creator. Amen and amen!
FORGIVE ME, LORD
Your commands are simple – but hard to keep;
For falling short of your precepts – I weep;
For the consequence of sin is surely death;
Separation from You – gasping for breath!
What have I done – what is missing from me?
How could it have happened – how could it be?
Where have I failed – fallen short in my faith;
With Your Grace removed – I wallow in wraith!
Send forth Your Spirit – to help me discern;
Give me Your Wisdom – please help me to learn;
You know my heart, Lord – as no person can;
Help me uncover – what’s for me in your plan!
There are no excuses for falling short;
Nor are their reasons to which we resort;
No justification could we conjure up now;
For thwarting our relation to God anyhow!
I pray You will lead be me back to Your path;
Let me not stumble – or suffer Your wrath;
Hide Your face not from me – be near, Oh Lord;
Teach me and reach me – through Your Holy Word!
As I pray in the Word – let Your scriptures speak;
Help me be humble – help me be meek;
Let Your Spirit instruct – let Him convict;
Open my eyes, Lord – let my heart be pricked!
Reveal in my heart – Your message today;
Remove the distraction – let nothing defray;
From the outside in – and the inside outward;
Forgive Me, Lord – help me move fast forward!
Whether or not you believe it could be;
The righteous man sins seven times – daily;
Therefore it’s important – prudent for he;
To repent, reconcile and – be holy!
The Bible tells us –do pray unceasingly;
Keep God in your heart – ever increasingly;
Be mindful and watchful of what you do;
Say – defray – don’t delay – He wants you!
Do you think for a moment salvation is free?
Do you think God offers it unconditionally?
Our Lord, Jesus Christ, paid the ransom for sin;
Your sins are forgiven – to let you back in!
When you entertain demons – devils defy;
Your soul is in jeopardy – can you see why?
The Spirit lives not in a temple defiled;
With no inspiration – you are beguiled!
A devil comes in all shapes and sizes;
Temptation is simple – he so devises;
There are deadly sins – yes – seven in all;
That sneak up on you – like a plague befall!
Just when you think all is going quite well;
That pesky devil lures you to hell;
Watch your back – your tongue – be ever prayerful;
Repent seven times – and please be careful!
Be slow to anger and quick to forgive;
Put on your armor – continue to live;
With faith and through grace under protection;
Pass all your tests and then pass inspection!
Forgive Me, Lord – for I have failed again;
Alas, I’m not perfect – like You – Amen;
Please heal me – reveal me – refresh me anew;
Remain by Your side – ever faithful to You!
D01: 8/17/2013
I am so glad you are reprising your earlier works, dear friend. This one is an absolute jewel.
Amen, Amen🙏🏻💕
Glad you like it, Bet – Moved by the Spirit – I obey
Seems when the need arises – the Spirit moves
Not everyone likes or understands prophetic poetry
And there are few venues that are willing to
accommodate – or are not crowded with those
looking for attention – and not to please God
Know what I mean ???
I hesitated until God insisted –
have to listen to His voice and
not man’s objections – took
me a while to understand
Thanks for your loving input – as always !!! ❤️
When I drive to the “Arrive Alive” state….I always get the creeps going thru TN on I-65….don’t know why…then I read this from our friends at TLD:
https://www.wsmv.com/2023/07/17/man-tried-kidnap-young-girl-nashville-gas-station-police-say/
We’ve started drilling our 15 year old granddaughter hard, harder, hardest about being aware of her surroundings. She is getting her drivers license in less than a year. And one of the bullet points of our repeated dissertations is to be particularly aware at service stations. We’ve covered all the bases, including keeping her doors locked.
This child’s Guardian Angel was on duty.
It’s a terrible thing to say for many reasons, but nobody and nobody’s child is safe in this country anymore….no matter where they are.
Our grandparents’ America…and ours is dead and buried.
Predators abound in the town,
Wolves prowl the game trails (interstates).
Tennessee is a nice state (just like the other 49) but not in its cities and not along its interstates/major highways. These are danger zones. Best keep your head on a swivel and your situational awareness dialed to max when in these areas.
If possible stay out of rest areas especially at night. Well lighted fuel stations and at least some other patrons present. Better yet fuel and travel during daylight hours it’s safer for a lot of reasons. Never stop on the shoulder on interstates it’s incredibly dangerous.

PsalmsChapter 911
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2
I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6
Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12
They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16
With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
(KJV)
AMEN!!!!!
Amen.

Hi duchess
If you look at it like I do , you will see he adores her.
It is a beautiful picture . They are singing and having a joy filled time.
☘️
You got me thinking on something since your on the subject of sniffin.
If you want to know if a cantaloupe is ripe .
Find the spot where it came off the vine . At the end of it. Lil spot .
Lil round circle ,
Give it a sniff,
If it smells sweet
It’s ready to be eatin
I’m telling ya it works
I’m not joking or trying to be cute
Try it
Grocery store cantalopes are useless
Gotta be farm fresh☘️
I guy at the farm I work at showed me that truck
Why I didn’t know before
Who knows
And you really can’t get a good one at the regular stores
I’ve tried over and over
☘️
I thought of that, too – it is just the positioning of he ‘adorer’ that was
off-putting for me – that happened to me – but I was across the table
from my admirer – the look on his face was priceless – and he said –
‘you are beautiful’ !!! And – I agree this guy is looking a her adoringly…
Cantaloupes – YES !!! A friend alerted me to that spot – however –
we have a supermarket who only buys from local farmers – and
their produce is top notch !!! But…Thanks for alerting me !!! ❤️
LOL – got you to thinking about sniffing – I thought you were
going to bring up my least favorite ‘masked marauder’ The B !!!
You are the connoisseur – I am not – any tips are more than
welcome !!!
Sending Angel Hugs and Kisses – 🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️❤️❤️❤️

Are you serenading me – OR
am I still dreaming ???

Dutch
You should have seen the pic I was gonna put up instead of that one
A guys nose was right on it.
What’s up with these artists , they think it’s ok to show fleshy feasts
Why
Just cuz it’s art
Ya gotta sift through a lot of it
I guess – have to be careful – artist have creative license
much the same as poets do – LOL
Sometimes – when I am writing I lose my concentration
and silly words and phrases are penned – have to delete
and PRAY to receive the right words –
When I write ‘playful’ poems to a certain gent subject
they get more than playful – LOL – stop right there
you naughty intruding spirit – I say – and begin again
Oh – forgot to tell you – about the book – poems in
earlier times – before I had my laptop – my poems
were handwritten – but they were terribly hard to
edit – notes and scribbles and crossing lines – took
a long time to pen one poem – now – when I hear
the Spirit speaking to me – my fingers fly to keep up !!!
Thought you might find that a fun fact to know !!!
Smooches from Angels !!! 🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️
I do find that a fun fact,
fun friend
I use a notebook a lot
Always have
still do
I use these big fat pencils , not the regular skinny ones and they have nice erasers on em.
And a sharpener
Love a sharp point
I love to doodle and scratch
and scetch and write
Some of the stuff I write down , well , ya hadta be there .
🍀
Ps
Someone called me “angel”
today , it was fun
☘️
Angels are a fav subject of mine to scetch
Angels and doves
The Holy Spirit also 😊❤️
Not surprised – you are an artist – also not surprised someone
called you ‘Angel’ – you act like one – and the Bible says we
entertain angels unawares – 🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️
I cannot write with a ‘fat’ pencil – lol – but whatever works
for you is what you need – 🙂
Hmmm…you draw Angels ??? Got one to share ???
I used to think we all had one Angel who watched over
us and assisted us – our Guardian Angel – I even named
my Guardian Angel – thought she was somewhat of
a pest – always encouraging me to do things I was
uncomfortable doing – like public speaking –
ministering to the sick – stuff like that – and now
I know there are many Angels that God has
given charge over us – did you know there
are 7 Archangels ??? I only thought there were
3 !!! I love Angels – because I know anytime I
need help – they are there right quick – as they
say in the south !!!
Do you have an accent ??? Someone said you talk
funny – Why ??? Just curious !!!
People ask me where I live – because I do NOT
have an accent – I speak phonetically – that’s
like dictionary language – even the English
do not speak phonetically – but there is a
reason for everything – a story for another day.
Fun Facts !!! What do you write , Angel ???
💙 🧚🏻♀️ 💙 🧚🏻♀️ 💙 🧚🏻♀️ 💙
A conversation for another day ❤️
I will tell you about
How I talk
Some people find it amusing
I will tell you one important thing about the way I talk
Since coming here
And I think it has a lot to do with it
I have completely eliminated certain words from my vocabulary
It’s a good thang
ttyl
☘️
Night duchess
Night, MO !!! It has been a pleasure talking with you !!!
Interesting your vocabulary (how you talk)
has changed since coming here – 💚
Were you influenced by a rough crowd ???
Did you cuss often out loud ???
Did you rebel rouse quite a bit ???
Were you sometimes one to take a hit ???
We hope you have changed your ways
If you were naughty on some days
If you were accustomed to shout aloud
Cause that’s not how we roll in this crowd
Perhaps you are at peace away from the clan
And you have formulated a better plan
To bring artistic joy and song
To be where you really belong !!!
