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 †

Where are all our night owls??🤔
Oh well, guess I’ll just mosey on to bed…good night all. Sweet dreams everyone🤗
LOLOL!!!😂
Also, LOL .
Someone should write underneath ‘Typical’!
Perfect and so very true! Lol
“Learn the preventative medical tests you need!” This HAS to be a Fake Ad (maybe an AI Generated AD)?
The ONLY WAY that I can think of for Men to Die from Stubborness, is for Women to KILL Them! (& my name is NOT Bill)! ROTFLMAO!
LOL
😂
Good morning Patience and Bet! 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Morning, bro 💕
Latest selfie…
LOL! I’m wide awake at my friend’s office waiting for a blood draw for some labs before my follow up with the cardiologist next Monday. Then off to San Antonio for the day. Will work out , do a little shopping for mom, then have a church meeting tonight. 😍
A busy day then. I’ tired just reading your itinerary😁 Tell your blood people to leave you enough to make it through your day. Blessings to your dear mother, G🙏🏻🕊💕
Off for that first cup of my famous StarBucca’s coffee!!😘
Hello there, Pa ❣️
LOL
A bit late, Bet. But we’ll probably show up . . . Be well, love. :-0
It wasn’t that late, Garrison. I was just early with my inability to drop off. 😘
Here I am…lurking about…
🤗💕
I’m a little late, not that the phone doesn’t have a habit of ringing the moment I can post.
Tonight it isn’t, and I’ve had a miserable weekend of issues & lacking sleep repairing them (as if I get much to begin with).
Finished tonight’s postings review early with picture additions & Interesting people section, then dozed off in front of computer awaiting the auto threads for new day.
As the phone rings now… back to the salt mine.
So sorry for your week, Magic, and for the lack of sleep because of it. As for falling asleep in front of the compute? Been there, done that…why so easy there and not in the place designed for it. For you ->
Too funny.
Poor Keith, I wonder if it is genetic?
I remember seeing the daughters of rock legends who looked a lot worse for wear. An example is Liv Tyler (Lord of the Rings trilogy). For the life of me, jb, I couldn’t see any genetic connection whatsoever.
Yes … Steven Tyler is making a very haggard and homely old woman.
Bowie looks like he was always a little creepy.
And I would have never guessed that two would grow up to be the lizard king and Satan’s bat eater.
But I thought Steven Tyler’s huge mouth was genetic. He even passed it on to his daughter. But there is no sign of it in that picture.
I always thought Liv Tyler was beautiful in an exotic sort of way. She certainly was physical perfection for her role in Lord of the Rings.
Magic!
Ahhhhhhhhh…
I don’t know Betsy jones, though thought of you when I saw this, as I recall you are a fan of Gates of Vienna., here an entertaining take on repairing phone COMS.

Haha, yes I saw that too GRM! I can relate, as I have a landline and his issues are similar to mine!
Let’s see if I can be as eclectic as Garrison … within my hippie hashish genre of psychedelic era music …
We will start with Third Ear Band …
And then … Soft Machine …

Uriah Heep … why not?
Always welcome. We don’t keep score here. 🙂
I thought that is what musicians did, keep score. 🎼
Score one for Jim in TN
I’m going to note that….
I’ll treble that vote…
Back in the day. I was working hard on developing my ‘chops’. I had the great good fortune to be playing a truly wonderful guitar—it was a Miguel Rodriguez concert guitar, the same luthier who made guitars for the famous Romero family. While it wasn’t quiet as good as Pepe’s famous “La Wonderful” playig it was still like going to church—it was that good.
I’d gotten good enough that i was able to work on Bach’s 2nd lute suite.
David Russel was in town and happily I found myself in a after concert party kitchen talking to the man himself. David turned out to be a real guitar fan. During the course of a great conversation he explained that within Bach’s countertpoint was an internal conversation between Bach . . . and us. I immediately understood—in his compositions Bach was speaking across the centuries to us! Thank you, David for that long ago kitchen conversation.
Good morning Garrison!
Mornin’ Gramps.
Speaking of the eternally magnificent Bach…we were listening to a program yesterday on our classical station,a discussion about how the Beatles music was compatible with classical.
Funny how I made a comment the other day that it was adaptable.
Anyway…they played some of the real oldie Beatle songs which I hadn’t heard in ages. And Chris remembered that the one he loves the most “Blackbird” came about because, as McCartney said himself that he and George Harrison had learned to play a work on guitar when they were younger.
Something to do with the structure of the Bouree between the melody and the bass line.
“Bouree in E Minor”

Did you know that Hey Joe was Hendrix’s very first hit record that got him noticed?
Alvin Lee Hey Joe …

Sweet!
However the violinist in the fringe dress … movin and groovin … I know what HER time at band camp must have been like …
Let’s hope !
BTW did the Ventures ever sue The Shondells for stealing their guitar riff? Or was it the other way around?
https://youtu.be/OmrGOXJMQj0?si=3jq-Ws5V1VodIdQX
It’s funny to me how many songs & hits even from the 70’s & 80’s were mostly just covers of much older stuff.
<Jimmy only has 8 songs that he wrote at least with ASCAP.>
Hey Joe Singer & songwriter, of the 24 works that ASCAP holds.
Pitbull covers one of his songs as well as David Guetta & TI, along with Jimmy.

Sultry voice … Mmmmmm delicious
Had to look her up and found …
At age ten, she started drum lessons with instructor Dave Blackburn in Fallbrook, California, after playing the faux drums on the video game Rock Band
Ironically … my youngest son became SO good at drumming at EXPERT level on Rock Band that he was pestered constantly to play online with serious “bands” trying to score points or whatever gamers do online. My theory as to his skill is that he is a math geek. I mean he’s not a geek at all, but a tough soccer player as well (not the fall down and cry type) … but he’s an applied math graduate from UCLA. His brain is just wired for math and structured patterns.
I noted on this woman’s bio that she graduated from UC San Diego … tough school to get into … so she’s a “brain” too.
Is this the same “ball” the kitty was batting about in the other picture you posted? If so, the ball was launched way up high by the kitty paw. 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Another excellent version…..thank you Annie !!

Come on Annie … admit it … you couldn’t take your eyes off Mick’s RED jump suit? I remember when those were actually a thing in the 1970’s … and not just in Palm Beach on octogenarians
The “cool” just flies off that stage
All great versions !! Thank you Kenji !! For my 2 cents, the AC/DC version is the best…
Van & Them are a VERY close second 🙂
I mean … who doesn’t like AC/DC … really!?
My best AC/DC story … So, I’m in a van driving to a week long Christian camp in the Sierra Nevada with a bunch of HS kids. My Christian mentor, rugby teammate, and driest wit ever is driving. He’s letting the HS kids put in the cd’s they brought with them to camp and a kid pops in … Highway to Hell that had JUST come out … “I’m on a highway to HELL” … blares through the speakers. Well, my buddy looks back at the kid who put the cd in … hits eject … rolls down his window … and frisbee’s the cd out onto the shoulder of the road. Never says a word. The kid is freaking out. My friend just says … what did you expect? We never even got to Beating Around the Bush …
That was his sense of humor. Shock. Surprise. A story that is still retold some 35 years later. Yeah, he replaced the kid’s cd.
🙂
My American friends, this Sunday we had Rosh Hashana (The Jewish New Year). It is believed that it’s a date when God makes judgment of each person for his last year actions. Most people go to pray. We also have the “Kohanim”. Literally it means “ The Priests”.
it’s the highest level of the Jewish people, those are dynasties who go back to the first Priest who was Aharon the brother of Moses. They were the only people who could perform religious ceremonies at the holy temple before it was ruined. Now days it’s just a blood line and those who come from this blood line can do special blessings for the community in holidays etc…. Here is the blessing from the Western Wall of the temple in Jerusalem.
we had something like this in the synagogue too. I would like to send those blessings to my American friends and to Donald Trump. By the way the word “Hashem” means “God”. Literally it means “The Name”.
May He bless you, too, David! What a beautiful video…thank you!
I love the history of Egypt but the history of the Holy Lands, archeological finds that are BC…and the reverence, is far superior. and always leaves me a bit humbled.
🙏
Shalom, David. And His peace be with you and the people of Israel. And thank you for your prayers for us and the man for whom our Treeper brother Kenji said the other night he wished he could slip a prayer for in the Western Wall. And here you are with your beautiful link. Be well, my friend 🙏🏻🕊 Shalom.
Thank you, David Baruch Hashem!
Blessings on you and yours, my friend. 🙂
Amen

American popcorn magnate (Orville Redenbacher’s Gourmet Popcorn), suffers heart attack drowns in his whirlpool bathtub at 88
It’s even available on vinyl!
Gibson let it go to his head, big time! So much so that you will read rather disparaging things about his arrogance from some others in the RAF that met him after the raid. Some from men who were of such character that I don’t think that petty jealousy was their motivation for writing such things about him.
Barnes Wallace was devastated by the losses on the raid. He was there waiting their return and could not believe that so few came back. Overwrought, he declared he wished he had never come up with the idea! It took sleeping pills to get him settled down enough to sleep even though he had already been up over 24 hours that day/night.
Wallace was also the inventor of the 5 ton Tall Boy and 22,000 lb Grand Slam “earth quake bombs”. Designed with a hardened nose, aerodynamic shape, and fins that caused them to spin on descent so that they remained very stable as they dropped there by increasing accuracy.
They were the original “bunker buster” bombs which were used with great effect against German hardened V weapons sites, including devastating the underground V-3 guns aimed at London. They were also used to destroy critical bridges and tunnels and U-boat pens.
No matter how much reinforced concrete the Germans poured, their installations could not stand up to the Grand Slam when they were dropped next to it and penetrated deep underground and blew a cavity in the earth below it. In a few cases Grand Slams that actually hit the top of U-boat pens penetrated 15′ of steel reinforced concrete.
Tall Boys were also used to put an end to the threat of the German battleship Tirpitz.
The squadron during the Dams raid was known as the “X” squadron because the had not received a number. Afterwards they became 617 squadron. In addition to the accomplishments above they developed the marking technique which greatly increased bombing accuracy at night.
Cochran, shown in the clip, knew a good thing when he saw is and was the prime driver for instituting pathfinder marking squadrons for use throughout the RAF bomber command.
Wow. Very interesting details from WW2, rah. I saw a movie about the Dam Busters many decades ago. I was not aware of those extra-large bombs that Wallace designed, nor the pathfinder marking (with flares) squadrons. Brilliant use of then-current technology.
Leonard Cheshire was the 617 commander that developed the marking technique. He found he could not do what he wanted to do in the Landcaster so he managed to get a Mosquito and that suited his purposes well. But he still wanted something smaller and more maneuverable and so he made a deal with a local US unit and got a P-51 Mustang to mark with. He learned to fly the Mustang on the way to marking the first target.
After marking Cheshire was then free to circle around and observe the results of the bombing.
Understand that the members selected for the squadron were all highly experienced. They had completed at least one full tour in a regular bomber command unit with high marks for their efficiency and instead of going off for a tour as a trainer, which was the normal rotation, they wanted more combat.
Cochran had a soft spot for those sort of men and thought it ideal to send them as replacements to 617 squadron or to assign them to pathfinder squadrons.
The three bombs:

Last night.
I was bringing Geisha and Buckley in from their last potty before bedtime. I had Buckley inside and unhooked from his lead and Geisha, after two shots during a trip to the vet was having trouble with the step up onto the platform to the back door. I left the door open and went the 3 feet to help her and Buckley bolted out the door.
He headed at full speed over to Steves to the North, and not finding any of Steves cats or Cooper the dog out then ran west towards the road. I followed him around the corner of the house in boxers and bare footed until I lost sight of him in the dark. He is a brown dog and it was full dark.
At that point I said to heck with it! If he does not know his home or does not want this to be his home then so be it. I figured I would stay up for a while but if he didn’t show I would go to bed. If he showed up and wanted in he would bark.
I walked back to door and let Geisha in and was about the close the door when Buckley came around the corner and up on the deck. He came right in.
I did not yell at him or punish him and did not praise him or show any sign of relief. He slept with me on the bed as usual.
i have a boxer and (ESPECIALLY) the malamute, that worry me so so much, when i have to chase them .. they run and run, without regard to cars..
One word, rah…
!!!!PHEW!!!!!
Too have heard the screaming on “the news” you would have thought the whole country would be dark red. How the summer temperatures really turned out. Three month temperature anomalies.
I will await the update of this map. But you can see that up until 2019 nothing was unusual at all and I doubt it will be when the map is updated to 2023.
Because … GUESS WHAT!? … it’s ALWAYS HOT in the summer. Sheesh, kids … learn some basic orbital geometry
IKR. If you are normal, or even a little cooler than normal, it is still damn hot. Makes it easier to believe in manmade warming.
And nobody is red (+8), and nobody is green (-8), just light orange and light blue, with a whole lotta white.
No explanation needed for this clip unless you’re under 40….
US wildfire data (And yes, Maui is included):
Of course, in 1930 something like 53 million acres burned – but if we don’t go back that far, we can complain about how bad it is now . . .
BTW if something doesn’t form up in the Gulf this month the probability is very low that Texas will see any hits. Historically, it is extremely rare for Texas to be hit by tropical storms or hurricanes in October or later. So the probability of you Texans seeing some drought relief from that source is getting pretty low now.
And yes, much of the state is in drought.

Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. – Psalm 30:5
Two of the shortest verses in the Bible are John 11:35, “Jesus wept” and 1 Thessalonians 5:16, “Rejoice always.” Robert J. Morgan writes in his book 100 Bible Verses Everyone Should Know by Heart, “Quite a contrast isn’t it – weeping and rejoicing? But how appropriate! Because Jesus wept, we can rejoice. Because He bears our sorrows, we experience His joy.”
The believer will experience suffering in this life, which may simply be a result of living in a fallen world, or it may be God’s correction for disobedience. Trials may also occur to develop one’s character to be more Christlike. How long will the grief or anguish last? Will it “tarry for the night” literally, or will it lodge in place for a longer period of time?
The answer may be based on whether or not the lesson is learned, whether sin is confessed and repentance takes place, or whether God’s intended purpose has been met. For the Christian, weeping may last for a moment, but know that relief and comfort will come, whether that be overnight or when life on this earth ceases.
No matter what, know that for the follower of Christ, your suffering is transient, it will end, and joy will come.
Remember that “for those who love God all things work together for good” (Romans 8:28). God is in control, He is faithful, and He is always available to help. Joy in the Lord is life-giving. The unbeliever will not have the same end, so pray now that those who don’t know Christ as their Savior will be encouraged in faith so they may know His joy… joy that will never end.

“How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
Psalms 119:103 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
Gracious morning, sis😘🕊
Thanking Him for every blessing and praying for them for all in trouble, spiritually, physically, and mentally. He knows which of his flock are in need and where they are and He will not leave them. 🙏🏻💕
TIME AFTER TIME
When all seems lost notice what happens next
God suddenly halts it at its apex
God said for us He will make an escape
Just as He promised in His Word takes shape
He will never abandon or leave us alone
To face problems without solution shown
When we put our trust completely in Him
The problem will no longer seem so grim
We might find answers thru advice of friends
Or maybe thru our thinking God will cleanse
Clarify and correct less the emotion
To help us strive and stop the commotion
Some days are plagued with sorrow and pain
We simply must manage stay safe and sane
One mishap after another to knock us down
Somehow we remain afloat and not drown
It is easy to see when we have faith
Just as in His Word He simply saith
For without faith we sure cannot please God
Cause faith is the substance of hope unflawed
When you lean not on your own understanding
You’ll see His power exert expanding
Acknowledging Him brings Him close at hand
His knowledge and wisdom at our command
Time after time God has proven His love
Definitively infinitely from above
Remember He resides inside of you
To assist abet with all that you do

Dear lady, you always have just the right Holy Spirit inspired poems for everything. Love you….💕
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.

Break the evil hold – over all the land!
Give us this day Your sweet heavenly bread;
Make certain – your children – they – are all fed;
Gather in prayer – your brethren today;
Help us – Oh, Lord – keep all evil at bay!
Our Father – who in Heaven resides;
Send forth Your Spirit who in us abides;
Have mercy on us – oh, please hear my cry;
The Font of Blessing – oh, please do apply!

This is the most beautiful singing of a wonderful hymn, linwik. One of my treasured LPs from long ago was “Messiah” sung by this choir and directed by a maestro for the ages Eugene Ormandy. Their voices lend extra power and beauty to hymns we all know. This is a favoirite. And this…
“Come, Come, Ye Saints”
thank you for this, bets! we had the Messiah LP, too. even now, if the Chorus comes on the radio while Im driving, it takes everything in me not to stand up. make a joyful noise unto the Lord!
I will follow Him

Florida’s Forced Quarantine and Forced Vaccination Law
ht tps:// josephsansone.substack.com/p/floridas-forced-quarantine-and-forced
This updated law was passed in 2021. It is Florida Statute, Title XXIX, Chapter 381, specifically Section 00315. It appears a total disaster. According to this law, Floridians can be forced isolated and quarantined against their will, and any treatment, not just vaccines, can be forced on them. The language was changed from prior versions from ‘vaccine’ to ‘any means necessary to treat the individual’. Robert Valenta pointed out to me that was likely changed because it is becoming apparent that C19 injections are not ‘vaccines’.
Let’s start with a few of the legal definitions in this law:
This might raise a red flag or two. It gets worse. The law allows the state health officer to:
The law appears to actually cede the state’s sovereignty to the federal government and creates a convenient back door for the WHO to violate the basic human rights of Floridians.
It becomes difficult to argue the Tenth Amendment when the state legislature cedes their sovereignty to the federal government. In this interview I did a while back with James Roguski, where James and I were interviewing each other, James expressed the view that the WHO is planning on using the federal government, and then the federal government will use the states, to implement WHO’s mandatory policies. This Florida law seems to coincide with Roguski’s revelation.
There was a blanket health protection law called SB222 that got derailed earlier this year in favor of SB 252, which appears to offer no protections at all in this area. SB 252 does not nullify Florida Statute, Title XXIX, Chapter 381, Section 00315. In fact, it leaves a door open for WHO to dictate policies if the state mandates it. As far as I can tell, the state of Florida has to obey the federal government and must follow and integrate with federal plans because of F.S. 381, Section 00315.
It looks like there is deliberate intent.
How else could we explain such a law that leaves a path open for the federal government and the WHO to clamp down on Floridians?
As already stated it also appears that the State Health officer can force isolate, and force quarantine, and force any treatment on any Floridian, and use the police power of the state’s law enforcement to do it.
I’ve been critical of the Governor and the legislature in the past regarding SB 252. See lines 188, 243, and 446 of the amendment to get an idea why that is. After all of the crimes against humanity that have been committed since 2020, how is it possible that this law got passed in 2021? How does a Republican super majority pass this law? How can Governor DeSantis sign this law?
If Floridians can be force isolated and the definition of isolation means “the separation of an individual who is reasonably believed to be infected with a communicable disease from individuals who are not infected, to prevent the possible spread of the disease.” If Floridians can be forced quarantined and the definition of quarantine means, “the separation of an individual reasonably believed to have been exposed to a communicable disease, but who is not yet ill, from individuals who have not been so exposed, to prevent the possible spread of the disease”, and if the State Health Officer can use, “any means necessary to treat the individual”, then how exactly is Florida different than New York state?
If Chapter 381, Section 00315 says:
That means SB 252 offers no protections if the Federal government creates a forced isolation, quarantine, forced ‘vaccination’, or any other program under the guise of an emergency for the state to implement. Doesn’t that mean that even the Covid 19 protections in SB 252 are void if the federal government creates another emergency and dictates to the state?
I’m not an attorney, and maybe attorneys can argue back and forth on this legislation, but it sure looks like a shell game to me. By the way, I would be happy to find out that I got this totally wrong, and someone were to tell me this law has been repealed and is no longer in effect. Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case.
Governor DeSantis needs to immediately call a special session of the legislature and fix what he and the legislature created.
With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?
I’ve known a about this for a long time, dragonfly.
DeSantis is finished. But for the sake of all Floridians he absolutely must get rid of this totalitarian abomination.

Regarding qualifications; right now we just need someone ready, willing and able to speak truth. Below is the prophet Amos’ response to the false priesthood concernig his qualifications and mission (Amos c7 v 14/15)
14Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah:
“I was no prophet,
Nor was I a son of a prophet,
But I was a sheepbreeder
And a tender of sycamore fruit.
15Then the Lord took me [j]as I followed the flock,
And the Lord said to me,
‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel.’

COME BACK TO ME
Are you discouraged lonesome and/or blue
Have I said/done anything to offend you
I pray – Oh Lord – you’re not hurting inside
With a broken heart and nowhere to hide
Come back to me – Oh please do return
So this aching in my heart will not yearn
For the light in your eyes that surely sees
The need of God for the birds and the bees
Where have you gone oh lover of care
Can’t seem to find you here or anywhere
It must be you must be elsewhere but here
At God’s bidding it’s obviously clear
Pardon the intrusion on your anointment
Far be it from me your divine appointment
We cannot know the why when or where
Or the obedience that takes us there
So we wait watch and wonder with glee
For you to come back finished and be
Accomplished and afforded with grace
Back to your friends and your private place
We pray to protect your traverse and trial
With healing oils from the holy vial
We trust God to return you fresh and new
From whatever it was you had to do
We thank Him for you and your willingness
To carry out your work with diligence
We thank Him for sending His faithful one
To make sure His work and His will be done
I really do miss you and ache in my heart
I will patiently wait while we are apart
I know that eventually I will see
That you will return and come back to me

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

They always say “follow the science” or “listen to the what the Scientists say”. That is until any scientist, no matter how prominent, counters their propaganda.
I follow the REAL science. The facts.
LOL! They are saying that we will have the best view of Neptune possible during our life times.
See distant Neptune at its brightest in the night sky Sept. 19 | Space
The fact is that even with a huge periscope. like the Keck, you would not be able to see very much detail. And with my 10″ Meade Star Finder, it will be nothing but a faint blue dot. The real value is in the exercise of finding it and not in what you see when you do. And back yard astronomers with a computerized scope, won’t even have the satisfaction of finding it on their own.

When God is Silent
PEPE LIVES MATTER
SEP 19
There is a temptation one feels when God puts us into a place of relative silence.
The enemy whispers you are a bastard son/daughter because your Father isn’t speaking loudly at your beck and call.
And because you don’t know where to go, you feel as though you may have lost your way. Perhaps that’s only a distorted way of looking at your situation, given that the deceiver only offers deception despite his knowledge of the Bible and God’s words.
What if God isn’t abandoning you or ignoring you but He’s more attentive to you than you could ever imagine? We often feel like we’re so insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The world has so many problems and Goliaths to overcome and here I am just a small cog in the tapestry of life. But that’s certainly not what David believed on his best days. He proclaimed that the thoughts God had about him were more than the sands of the sea. What an outrageous thought when you really dwell on it.
Could it possibly be true that God has the capability to care so deeply for someone seemingly so small and insignificant?
When the first love fades you are sometimes left with an enduring silence, one can feel so weary to believe they have done something wrong to be led to so dry a desert. Instead of viewing these trials as abandonment and loss, perhaps we need to adjust the way we see them. Yes, perhaps God is being quiet, but that doesn’t mean you did anything wrong. What if He is merely showing you a constructive love that transforms you while using silence as a tool? Like the master carpenter He is, He could be fine-tuning your soul and spirit in ways you never thought could benefit you and to move away from that, to resist that feeling of loneliness with God is to move away from the potter’s hand. Often we seek the easiest way out by moving quickly and trying hard to “do things” that please God. Not that acts of kindness and fulfilling your calling aren’t warranted but there are some victories that do not come from striving and perhaps your soul needs silence. The Pharisees used their righteous acts to prove to God that they were the holiest and most deserving of a relationship with God yet it was the one who knew well of their weakness that Jesus chose to be His closest friends. I suppose this is a reminder to my readers to not always assume they are doing something wrong if they don’t know where to go. Instead of fighting that feeling of loneliness with God, maybe we should embrace that weakness. For when we are weak, He is strong.

Hello Duchess,
Having fun, I see. ☺ Lovely poetry today. Such a marvellous gift you have.
You’re still missing your man Mo. I certainly hope he makes an appearance, and soon.
I have him on my night time prayer list, as promised.
🌸🌼🌻🌺 Love flowers, doncha know. lol
Howdy, Aspen !!! Happy you are enjoying God’s inspiration !!! ❤️
MO gave us all a special gift – a part of himself he left for each
one of us – I am not the only one who misses him !!! 🥺
We all prayed him through his daughter’s wedding – shared
his discomfort, his pain, and his personal tragedy !!! 🙁
See – you miss the flowers – and some of us miss his
impromptu lunches – then, there are the paintings
and the accompanying music – the old time dancers
in the musicals – and oh – his loving heart !!! 💚💚💚
So yes – trying to amuse myself – for a little while –
the calls for prayer have been constant – and ‘family
matters’ have been stressful – my ‘pocketful of
positive’ outlook is getting a workout !!!
Thanks to God – for going before me to make a way
when there appears to be no way !!! ❤️
HAVE A BERRY BLESSED EVENING !!! ❤️💙💜
PS Still looking forward to ‘MO’s Coming Home’ Party !!!
Justin Hayward: Watching and Waiting
My American friends, here are some news from Israel. It’s probably not in the media in the US. Something is cooking over here.
So a week ago the Mossad Chief issues a stern worrying to Iran’s leaders unlike any previous communication from Israel.
He mentions that Russia may supply Iran with weapons that will endanger the survival of Israel. My thoughts are two options: 1. SAM 4 Surface to Air Missiles which can make an Israeli attack on the reactors very very difficult. 2. Components for their nuclear program. (Not likely but could be.).
Today Netanyahu and a few of his top people met Zelensky the Ukrainian in NY and Zelensky steps to Israel’s Mossad Chief and gives him a specially warm handshake. My interpretation is that Mossad knows that Iran is about to give Iran SAM 4 Missiles and those meetings are a hint to Putin that he better back off or Israel will start giving Ukraine tie breaking weapons like the Iron Dome defense system etc… So far Israel was very careful not to supply Ukraine with anything that will cause Putin to take action and provide the Iranians advanced systems.
Come Saturday a big storm will form off the east coast of Florida. An example of the “home brew” Joe was talking about. Good chance it will become a tropical cyclone. We shall see.
Anyway it will run up along the coasts of GA, SC, and the outer banks and points north. It is possible it will become a hurricane, but nor likely it will just wash out the weekend at the beach or on the golf courses near the shore in the states mentioned.
All of the indicators are still showing that this may be a winter like we have not seen since the 70’s in the eastern US.
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
Amen
Amen.
Amen
Amen
Amen.
