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 †

Happy Sunday!
God Bless America!!
God morning, Rob🕊
The storm is raging throughout this fallen world and our boats are being tossed in the waves which threaten to sink us.
But His hand is on the tiller and will not let go.
Faith, trust, and patience…He will guide us to safe harbour.
Blessed be everyone’s day🙏🏻💕
Amen ! 🕊🍃
Good morning dear Bet and grace to you!
Busy day for us. First greeting at church, then back home to take care of my SIL, get mom and head to New Braunfels to celebrate Miss V’s birthday. ❤️💜😘
God morning, M. Enjoy your family and your day, friend.
💞
Howdy Patience and Ma!
Blessings and fresh apple pies to you both!
Woo, thank you for the Blessings
and for the pie-making inspiration.
God morning, dear friend🙏🏻💕 Greet away..these days one just can’t take anything for granted. I must have missed something about your SIL…pray he is not feeling too rough. Chris was under the weather the other day and he took a dollop of the much maligned horse paste we keep on hand, and by morning he was his old self.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEET VIOLET!!! God bless you, sweet girl and keep you in His protective sight as He always has since the day you were born 🙏🏻🍰💕
Instantly I came here I noticed our irreplaceable and much loved Garrison was missing…praying all is well 🙏🏻🕊💕
👍🏼✝️. Look down to 12:30
Perhaps my man Garrison fell asleep and Tinks is keepin him snug.

It has gotten colder. If that’s where he is or has been I don’t blame him! 😘
Yes. Sorry Patience. First time I fell asleep-at-the-switch in a long time.
Ahhhh man! Am I glad to see you, Garrison!!! Hope your day was splendid and filled with good friends, tacos, purrs and all the good things.
As a matter of fact . . . it was a fine, very blessed Sunday. 🙂

Which means that PG&E will probably be shutting off my power (for safety) … probably during the 49er game …
Oh good grief!!!!!.🙄
Tsunamis and mega-volcanoes and origin of the Great Lakes
I’ve time-cued it to Brian Atwater’s research on the Pacific Northwest Cascadia subduction zone.
He finds sand layers in wetland muds that were emplaced by past tsunamis, and also a drowned cedar forest with tree rings for precise dating.
He documents a 1700 earthquake that corresponds to a “phantom tsunami” in Japanese records (a tsunami with no local earthquake, which was the normal behavior for local Japanese quakes that they learned meant “run for high ground”. Turns out his Cascadia tsunami went all the way over to Japan and that’s why they didn’t feel a quake in warning, the quake was too far away, but the tsunami did reach them.

CAT CAUTION – plug in fragrance wall diffusers may be harmful to your cats
(from Quora, can’t figure out a link)
We first noticed drainage coming out of her right nostril. It was mostly clear in nature and she was sneezing quite a bit. We took her to our vet and they thought she had an upper respiratory infection. We gave her antibiotics and went on our way.
One week later, the drainage had increased and turned bloody and her appetite was starting to decrease. We called the vet again and they had us come in an pick up another antibiotic/immune boost to add to her food.
That Sunday, she stopped eating, stopped drinking, was isolating herself and I noticed she wasn’t going to the bathroom as much.
At this point, nothing was helping. She was dying and we knew it.
All day Friday I cried and kept thinking about what we had done differently around the house and that’s when it hit me.
About a month ago Adam found these really good smelling plug in fragrance wall diffusers.
I immediately unplugged them, opened windows and turned on fans. By Friday evening Mit Meow was able to walk to us. Saturday morning she woke me up at 4:45 am meowing and hungry. Her nasal drainage had stopped, she was eating, her balance was improving and she wanted attention.
After further investigation we learned that several of these diffusers are toxic to animals and that they have more severe reactions to cats because they are at nose level to them

My daughter is a heavy user of these plug ins…she lost a dog to a nasal cancer.
These plug ins have an oil in them..clove oil…is the one I have seen written about. I had used them heavily in my home for a long time…last year, I read that they are toxic and carcinogenic to pets. I quit using them about 2 years ago. Bath and Beauty Works, is a huge offender. I don’t know about Yankee Candle.
I have lost 3 dogs to cancer. And I blame that…I don’t use them anymore.
Nor do I use the “safe for pets and children” weed and feed on my backyard lawn….they all have a chemical, all of them, I was in HD with my magnifying glass, checking labels when I first read the connection….Purdue studied it and found an increase is bladder cancer in canines….esp golden retrievers, scotties, border collies, shelties…all of these breeds have roots in the UK.
Purdue had some research articles accessible a few years ago but cannot find them per google anymore…oh gee I wonder why?/s
Every research article I have read, implicates 2, 4, D as the culprit.
https://time.com/6184986/are-lawn-fertilizer-chemicals-bad-for-you/
https://www.beyondpesticides.org/assets/media/documents/pesticidefreelawns/resources/weed%20and%20feed%20factsheet.pdf
I use 30% vinegar and target lawn weeds in the backyard…not the best but it works well on some weeds.
Gluten is also a reported safe choice for weed control…
And for any Zonians out there lurking…don’t forget the herbicide used for those lily weeds…we swam in that water.
Here is a short link on Gluten for lawns..
After a correct first application, you can expect 40% to 60% effectiveness. Like most natural herbicides and pesticides, corn gluten meal works slowly and is a long-term treatment.Sep 20, 2023 (google).
And for those in the land of Lincoln, it has been reported that Agent Orange or a mix of such, has been used on weeds along the roads and byways. Another friend with ‘inside’ info…
I have an important friend who did research in the 60’s and 70’s, as she lost more than half of her circle of friends from exposure during the Vietnam War. Her research from then and added too, is locked in a secure location. Her conclusions are ugly.
paging Erin, Erin Brockovitch…pick up on line #1776.
God morning, Aggiegirl💕
I hope you saw that I left what you were looking for the other day. Just in case…we can never see it enough I believe. He will not leave one of His flock behind🙏🏻
Good morning, Betsy.
I for one can’t stop looking at this picture. I need Him every day.
Bless-ed Sunday, Sis and Savannah. I can’t either. It brings tears to my eyes every time.
Morning JWoo!
Caught you up top, friend! Hugs to you and yours.
My littles in Bible study hear (w/a few hand gestures):
‘Ten little sheep, eating grass so fine.
One went away and then there were nine.
The Shepherd looked everywhere…
Found it and carried it back with loving care.’
Happy Sunday.
Oh how lovely, FarmerRen 💕 I am seeing those precious littles (and hearing them!) as they recite this sweet poem.
I’m so sorry childhood has no pause buttons 🙏🏻
This is the one, Betsy! I have it in my computer but cannot transfer it….
This truly gives us the “a picture is worth a thousand words…”…I so love this one. The little one looks so forlorn…has no idea his Savior is right behind him…no doubt as he faces wolves….
And that Agent Orange won’t go into our ground water?
Magical thinking.
When was the last bug on my windshield?
Years ago.
Grew up next door to the corn fields of Central Indiana. Big ag, big pharma… all in the same place… and I’m sure it was no accident.
My generation has many offspring from our community who were born with defects and childhood cancers.
Kiddo was born in Seattle and when she was 2 years old we moved back to my Central Indiana home. By the time she was 4 yo… she had severe reaction to garlic and to agricultural treatments. If she ate corn from Trader Joe’s grown in Yakima, WA… she was fine.. but if she ate corn locally grown here in Indiana… severe adverse reaction. Anaphylaxis of the gastrointestinal system then into full body hives within 24 hours from allergic onset. Spent many hellish moments in the ER when she was a toddler babe and I could give her no comfort until we learned the secrets to managing it.
We drove in a convertible through the fields one evening after attending the State Fair and by next morning, she was full body hives and miserable from exposure to agricultural treatment. We merely inhaled it.
They aren’t good for 2 leggeds either.
Thank you for this information. I now grieve more for my kitties, those who are gone.
To think I could have contributed to their discomfort and ultimate deaths (nasal). But I do thank you for this very important info Nim.
you’re very welcome, Farmer

Israel Update:
–IDF continues to advance in Gaza. Note: For security reasons the IDF is keeping it obscure and I can’t tell how much and where. It seems very slow and controlled. I trust there is a smart strategic planing going on. I did see a video of soldiers raise an Israeli flag and saying “by the shore” which is not the location I expect. I will update as the IDF releases info.
-IDF attacks Hezbollah targets in a few locations in Lebanon. A response to them firing of anti tank missiles. Still low key and avoiding a huge escalation. I have to mention that while Israel is working with the US to avoid an escalation and it does have an interest in compartmenting the zones and not an all fronts war, we all went through a reality shock and a wake up call and understand that Hezbollah is no different than Hamas and we will have to handle it too all the way sooner or later. The IDF was preparing for the 10/7 attack at the North. It is the Hezbollah who had known plans to conquered Israeli towns and the 10/7 from Gaza looks like a copy of what they were planing.
-A report of an Israeli attack in Syria. A response to a firing of an artillery round into Israel. Taking out some Iranian Militia and Syrian positions close to the border. (Syria is North East of Israel)
-Sinwar the leader of Hamas in Gaza said that he is willing to release the hostages for all the Palestinian prisoners in Israel. (There are many thousands, many committed the worst imaginable murders).
-Speaker of the IDF: “The talks of Hamas about hostage exchange is just a “psychological terror”
-Defense Minister :”Hamas will be more flexible about the hostages when the sword is on their head. The more we beat them the more chances to get the hostages.”
-Netanyahu had a difficult meeting with representatives of the families of the hostages.
Some broke in tears. Begging to do everything and give all the prisoners and be carful with the attacks. Not an easy meeting for Netanyahu. Heart breaking to all of us.
-Mounting pressure in Israel about the kidnapped. The families demonstrate every day and get media wherever they go. It’s hurting everyone. We can feel their pain. Being a hostage of Hamas may be worse than death. God have Mercy on the hostages.
-Defense Minister of Saudi Arabia will meet Senior Officials in DC in a couple of days. Will meet Senior in the Defense area and also meet Blinken.
-Gaza reports 8,000 dead. It’s hard to know the real number as they do try to inflate the numbers to gain sympathy and pressure Israel, on the other hand many are under the rabble so not all are counted. But we see the order of magnitude.
-The International Council of the Red Cross: “Its not tolerable what is happening in Gaza. It’s not possible to provide adequate humanitarian aide in the current situation.”
-NY Pro Palestinian protesters blocked the Brookline Bridge. More than a 1000 protesters. Amongst the protesters were some Ultra Ortodox Jews from “Neturei Karta” (It’s an anti Israel despicable small sect that believes that “there shouldn’t be a Jewish state until the Messiah arrives.” They sometimes Protest for Palestinians. They are considered very radical and disgusting in Israel).
-The Office of Netanyahu denies a rumor that he had a “prior alert about an upcoming war”.
Note: Netanyahu have a large segment of the population who hate him beyond reason. You get wild accusations all the time. They also have the power of the media. Sounds familiar?
-Report of another attack on a US base in Syria. No more info as to casualties if any.
-Trump in a meeting with a Jewish organization condemned the Pro Palestine protesters and called them “Pro Jihad”. Said that if he is to be a President again he would deport them. Said that he stands with every Israeli and American who was hurt. Said that with him “for every drop of American blood there would be a litter of theirs”. Note: I am here because of my love for Trump and you. I know that this wouldn’t have happened with Trump in Office. The Biden Administration has weakened Israel with money and being nice to Iran. Pushed the anti government protests in Israel that were a factor in why Hamas choose this timing, Biden also flows money and political power to the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank that Trump stopped their aide because of their support of terrorism. And more…
-Strong condemnations across the Arab world about the ground invasion. Including Arabs who have good ties with Israel like Morocco , UAE and others.
Note: In the Middle East if we don’t take revenge, everyone will laugh and think that it’s easy to defeat us. This will bring about a worse war. So it is critical to remember that all the eyes are at Israel. Including Hezbollah who must see an Israeli victory and a fully destroyed Hamas. Anything other than a destroyed Hamas will be conceived as a victory of Hamas. Even if it is one Hamas man with a missing leg holding a flag and a huge death toll still Arabs will consider that Israel was defeated. There must be no more Hamas. This is something about the mentality of the area that I am telling you about. This is not the West. It’s a wild zone we are living at.
-Senior Hamas man meets the Head of the Parliament of Lebanon. Meets to go over “stopping the Zionist aggression.” Very hateful talk and threats. Lebanese answers with “saluting the Palestinians and its heroic resistance who defeated the occupiers.”
Note : Lebanon is in shambles economically. A real mess. Hezbollah has the most power in this nation and is using it to have political power too. In the past they assassinated a Christian pro Israel President of Lebanon. Israel has said many times that if Hezbollah starts, Lebanon will suffer badly. It is a deterring factor. Hezbollah don’t want to be responsible for the destruction of Lebanon. But go figure what logic will lead their decisions?
-Qatar: “The hostage negotiation slowed down after the Israeli invasion.”
-About the tunnels : I did some more work to understand what we are up against and what it’s all about and I have a better grasp and cleared some confusions of my own. My apology if any of my previous reporting was not exact. It is called the “Metro”. It is hundreds of Kilometers possibly 300 miles long. It is very deep in some places maybe up to 300 feet deep. It has a few purposes. Some are defensive. So you have many openings, usually inside homes so that a fighter can appear and hit a tank with an RPG missile and go back in. Can even abduct an injured solider into a tunnel as happened in the past. Some are offensive and designed to go into Israel or by the border as to attack and infiltrate. Then there are rockets and ammunition storages and there are command and control under hospitals and other places that we can’t attack. It has its own wires for communication and it has a ventilation. System. Hostages are likely in there too. I suspect that Israel has access to their wires of communication because I heard of covert special forces operations in Gaza related to wiretapping.
Israel dealt with tunnels many decades so it has its own experience. We developed a confidential and unique system to detect the tunnels. Someone got the highest award possible in Israel for inventing it. This explains why the recent attack didn’t use tunnels as was the original concern. So we can drill down into a tunnel and use the hole against it. We have good bunker buster bombs and I heard it is also innovated to be more effective, it is used from the air and if you have the locations then I have seen a lot of success blowing up tunnels. It is not workable on all tunnels.
A few years ago we had an operation against the offensive tunnels of Hezbollah and after detecting them we poured water or concrete and sealed it. I am sure that by now we have a decent map of the tunnels metro. So this will help. It is not possible to destroy all the tunnels from the air. I have seen in a previous operation special engineering units explode tunnels. So once you gain control you can wire it and explode it. We also have some units who specialize in tunnel war but it’s better not to go in there. Those units also use robots. So I expect robots to go in there. Hamas knows that we have robots so they can place obstacles.
So there is no one magic for all of it. But Israel is an innovation nation and I wouldn’t be surprised to see something new to deal with it. Some surprise.
-More than a 1000 trucks are waiting in Egypt to enter Gaza with aide.
-Netanyahu : “This is our second War of Independence, we will destroy the enemy above and under the ground. It’s the mission of my life”.
– Elon Mask said he will use his Starlink Satellite to provide Internet to UN and Aide organizations. This angers Israelis as it will be used by Hamas and it’s critical that they are disconnected. Israeli Communicating Minister :”Hamas will use it for terror , Israel will fight it, Musk can condition it on the release of the hostages. “
Note: Yesterday I read somewhere that he changed his mind about it but today I read this in a credible media report. So I need to look into it farther. As a note Isreal has means to shoot down satellites. I doubt Israel will want to do so. Netanyahu has a close relations with Elon and just spent a day with him discussing AI and other things.
-Elon Mask tweets a supporting meme about Iran. An image of Iran surrounded with American bases and it says “Iran wants war. Look how close they placed their nation to American bases.”‘. Note: with all respect to Musk he should stay out of this one. Interfering with Israel’s attempt to isolate Hamas is a bad move. A supportive meme for Iran who is behind the 10/7 attack is a bad choice. Messing with Israel in a time of war is also a bad choice.
-Israel pulls out its diplomats from Turkey after they supported Hamas.
-Still rockets falling in Israel. Damage to property. I didn’t see injuries in the past 24 hours.
-Israel released interrogation footage of Hamas men who were captured. They describe how they hide under hospitals and take advantage of locations they know Israel will not bomb, like medical clinics, etc…
-Some reports from Gaza that phone and Internet communications are starting to return.
-Finally Harvard and Columbia universes respond to the wave of antisemitism. Both heads of the universities came out with statement. Harvard actually are making a body of people to deal with it. I have to mention that some donors and Jewish donors threatened to stop donations. That helped to put pressure.
Note : The things that are happening in universities are bigger than just a few incidents.
Support of Hamas is just a symptom of something much deeper. Some Progressive takeover of the minds of the young. I didn’t dig into it but my guess is that antisemitism is related to Muslims. Not the usual residents. They have a high percentage of antisemite in Arab nations.
-A report from just now through my social media source that I trust. Heavy attack in Gaza and tens of terrorists dead.
-West Bank rioters throw explosives at IDF. Changed from “rioters” to “terrorists”. IDF opens live fire snd reports on some terrorists injured. Note :”injured in many cases change to dead”.
No Israelis injured as far as I know.
-Pro Palestinian video of protest in Germany and I see an Al-Qaeda flag. The Germans are hard on those protests.
Note: I saw another video today and a veteran US man is commenting after seeing a
Taliban flag In one of those protests in the US. It is a lady holding the flag and he mentions that “she wouldn’t be able to hang around the way she is dressed and showing her face if it was in a Taliban land”. Note: most of those university protesters have no idea what they are protesting about. A complete zombie land. As I said there is some work to be done to change the degradation of academia.
-Speaker of the IDF: “Tomorrow humanitarian aide will be increased”. Pleads residents of North Gaza to leave as there is no more time to keep asking them.
-A new report from just now. IDF is moving deeper into Gaza. Moving forward while strengthening control over buildings it already have.
-The UN’s security council will convene tomorrow about the Israeli situation in Gaza.
Note: I wonder how good and beneficial the UN is for the evil nations of the world by focusing on Israel and diverting attention off real massive disasters. Like what occurred in Syria with hundreds of thousands dead, the abuse in China, North Korea, the endless deaths in Ukraine, etc… The UN is conceived as very despicable organization in Israel. And it’s sad because it could have been a real force for World’s betterment.
Respect and love to my American Friends.
God Bless you!
thank you for this detailed update. and for all of your updates. we rely on them and you, david.
You’re welcome!
Right back to you!
Last weekend in the windy city, 25k protestors:
Last weekend, an estimated 25,000 protesters for Palestine were in downtown Chicago shutting down Michigan Avenue for hours.
Crowds called for a cease-fire and an end to airstrikes on Gaza
https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/chicago-palestine-protest-downtown
Yesterday, only 5k reported per WBBM…its getting cold here.
I pray for Israel and the United States every day ( both the civilians AND the military), and ask God to watch over them, bless them, and protect them.
Thank you brother!
I wonder about U.S. troops stationed in Turkey? God protect them.
Turkey will not go against the US. They have many reasons.
Thank you for posting these updates, David. You are providing the most comprehensive coverage about what is actually happening in your country. We pray for your safety and that of all of Israel, as well as the safe return of all hostages from Gaza.
Thank you!
Thank you David for your reporting. Praying for your safety and protection. God speed.
Thank you Eva.
David. It is quite common these days for the democrats to hire protestors. Have done some mingling in the past and it is not unusual that they will actually brag about their new job being paid to protest. Keep that in mind. purchased protestors.

Thank you, Magic. Hope you had a great vacation. We missed you.

What a beautiful song, CountryDoc. You are so very special, friend, and you bless many in this Tree.

Until then, we FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT and assert His Love and Goodwill towards man wherever we can make a difference.

Good Sunday morning, Doc💞
There are no words to tell how much this stirred …
But, I must tell you that one morning about two months after we lost Sister (Ma’s eldest) Ma said she saw her, while she slept, standing and walking —happily along the edge of a mountain.
From time to time, Ma sees that still; and expresses that with a calm joy fullness.
Thank you for this song.
-beautiful…
I love dreams like that. Had one similar for my father seeing him in his Heavenly Home. A gift from God, it was.
Doc … you just reminded me of how much I truly LOVE this tune …
I would like to clear up some things about Iran. I bet you didn’t know it all. A lot of it is from a serious expert on Iran who was also born in Iran and was in Israel’s Intelligence.
Iranians are not Arabs! They are from an old people culture who used to call themselves “Aryans”. Hitler took the term and wrongly assigned it to white Northen race.
Iran is an ancient nation with some very rich history. Very proud and wise people. They invented Chess. As I said “smart”.
And yes it was also Persia that was an empire and occupied a lot of land.
Iranians are Shia Muslims. Unlike the Arabs who are usually Sunni Muslims.
Iran before the revolution was quite westernized. They had very good ties with Israel.
According to the expert : The West is wrongly considering the Iranians to be captured by the radicals.
he said that about 30% are very religious and 30% are keeping tradition. This means that the majority are
not fans of Western culture and wouldn’t like to see the Western attitudes on morality in their society.
Iranians consider themselves superior to Arabs. Therefore you never see a suicide bomber of Iranian origin.
‘They let others do the “dirty work” they are the managers behind the scene. So you’re not likely to see Iran
going to war for Gazans. On the other hand Hezbollah is Shia and there is a high commitment there.
In Islam generally the Western value of “peace” is not existing. You don’t see the word “peace” almost at all in the Koran.
They do value “victory”. That is a value to be desired. Therefore you don’t see Arabs with a big desire for peace. You see a desire for victory.
And the victorious can get peace. But it is not guaranties if it becomes weak.
Their leadership is thinking in terms of religion. It’s a different set of values. The next world may be more important than this world.
Iranians are very smart and patient.
Anyways this is all for now. I hope it was of some value.
Thank You , David !
Everything You share with
us has Value ! We are Blessed to have You here with us ! Please Take Care .
Thank you.
Yes, and many may automatically think ……
Since they’re Muslims, they speak Arabic.
But they speak Persian (Farsi)
It should be a Crime to keep Beagles in wire cages for medical & pharmaceutical & cosmetic & etc. experimentation. People who buy and breed Beagles to live in wire cages to be experimented upon should be locked up in the Penitentiary.
so timid
beaglefreedomproject.org Rescues beagles and promotes cruelty free products. Help if you can.
it’s a commercial industry.
suppliers breed the dogs in house for sale to research facilities, labs, universities, etc.
some are bred to “spec”, depending on the needs of a study.
breeding dogs are selected for ease of handling, calm temperaments, and lack of aggression even when kept in large groups.
dogs generally serve no more than two studies, then euthanized.
these dogs are sweet beyond description.
lest my comment be misunderstood, just trying to explain the difference between “purpose bred” (research/lab/clinical trial dogs, almost exclusively beagles)
and puppy mill or privately bred dogs of any breed or mix which are seldom used in research settings.
the commonality is that they are both bred on a very large scale.
shutting down puppy mills is much different than trying to shut down corporations that produce dogs for drug company studies, etc.
have fought the fight for decades now.
very sad.
As a groomer I have seen many of these timid dogs. They came from puppy mills. Pa has a lot of them. Most of them are very laid back, but a few were aggressive to the point that the owner had to have them put down. Puppy mills cross-breed anything handy – when I was young these were called Heinz 57 animals and were free at the dog pound. Now people pay huge amounts of money for these cross breed mixtures. There a many bully (pit bull) mixtures around here. I do not touch any of them.

Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. John 6:68
I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. II Tim. 1:12
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me. Psa. 18:6, 18, 19
I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psa. 34:1-4, 8

Put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. – James 1:21
James, the brother of Jesus, was later known as James the Just because of his impeccable character. It was only after Jesus’ resurrection that James became a staunch believer in Jesus as Savior, the long-awaited Messiah. Because he was a witness to Jesus’ resurrection, James became a man of prominence in the Church in Jerusalem. He was an upright man and wrote his book to encourage the Jewish believers in Christ to live out their faith, both as hearers and doers of the Word.
James’ words came at a time when believers were under temptation and persecution. In the 108 verses of the book of James, he was practical in his exhortations, providing 50 imperatives. He wished for his readers to be active in their faith, seeking wisdom (James 1:5), never doubting (verse 6), and remaining steadfast under trial (verse 12). Commentator Matthew Henry wrote that James, in today’s verse was telling believers to get rid of “all sin of thought and affection as well as speech and practice.”
The rest of James’ instruction in this verse is to “receive with meekness the implanted word.” Eyes will be opened to Christ’s salvation and the power He gives to anyone who believes (Romans 1:16-17).
Humbly accept the truths of God’s Word and, through it, be willing to accept correction for your faults. Yield in submission to God’s molding of your character. “There must be inward practice by meditation, and outward practice in true obedience,” Matthew Henry wrote. Pray that the people of this nation receive with meekness God’s Word and believe. In like manner, may you study His Word and live it daily.

God morning, Treepers.
Awakened rather early this morning to a deep freeze alert.
I cleaned up the patio weeks ago of my tomato plants and the beautiful flowers I had, but I still had this potted Geranium with what look like Blue Eyes Daisies and this $6 Peace Rose that grew gangbusters from a cork-sized nub and really impresses with her huge white and mauve blooms. They are still hanging in there and blooming like crazy. The Geranium plant is not blooming but it is still insisting on growing much to my surprise.
Thusly, I was started awake from my dream where I became Mayor of a small town and had just promised my allegiance to all of our townspeople… and I worked in the dead of night to dutifully move these hangers-on in their large pots to the interior of my garage.
I don’t know why I have such emotional connection to them. I’m certain it must be due to my father having given my mother various rose bushes as a child. Our backyard had over thirty varieties of the most fragrant roses, a prolific vegetable garden with everything in it (tomatoes, turnips, beets, carrots, strawberries, cantelope, cucumbers, peppers), peonies, rose of sharon, grapevines which only grew for the blessing of the birds and for shade of a trellis built over a swing. Even our rose clippings thrown over the back fence for compost would root and grow prolific creeping roses. How so much grew in such a small space is a marvel to me now as an adult. My mother when she was alive was a homemaker in our small 1,000 sq ft home, so while Dad was off fighting for our country and making soldiers out of men… she raised her three teen children from previous marriage and toddler me… the only daughter of my father.
I always, no matter where I’ve lived in this country, I’ve always marveled at the earth. The dirt. The earthworm smell in the rain. I like to weed gardens in the rain, as the weeds and their roots give up so much more easily. It is so satisfying.
With the loss of my home, I’m certain I lost part of my mind. I had the most beautiful gardens and all would walk around our idyllic neighborhood to view my outrageously beautiful plants and flowers. We planted to attract bees, butterflies, and wildlife of all kinds. They never damaged our property or things and they gave kid quite the laugh in numerous occasions. I’m so grateful for the five joyfilled years we had there… before liberalism destroyed our lives and left its burn marks. They ruin everything beautiful, to the point caretakers flee, and then they wonder why they live in crime ridden scorched earth. They deserve it and “Atlas Shrugged” is more history book than fiction.
Last season, after two years of shell-shocked, I was rather clever in creating a seating area in my garage with my lawn furniture and so this season I will do the same and maybe set up lighting and even a space heater to try to winter over these crazy plants. It’ll be an experiment. I have this strange desire to sustain this rose bush at all costs to eventually plant her in dirt of my own someday… so she and I will have an understanding being the mere remnant of ourselves. I dream of a home here with fertile earth and maybe a sturdy, sturdy greenhouse attached to the home.
I have an old floor lamp with the petals that extend out that had one of the five shades broken. It was in Savannah’s old childhood room and I’ve no idea why I kept it. Probably because it still works. I’ll set it up for light.
I found it most relaxing in the wee hours when sleep escaped me to light my religious incense burner out there and bundle up and pray, journal, and meditate as the Lord led without waking up the household.
I insulated the flimsy aluminum garage door and windows in this poorly constructed, too expensive apartment, and the garage stays about 20 degrees warmer than outside. My apartment takes all the wind sheer and drifting snow much to the delight of my neighbors who are nicely insulated with us taking the brunt of the weather in what only can be described as a righteous wind tunnel that threatens to tear the roof off. I used to be afraid of that whistling and howling wind noise as a child when forced to take naps during which I could never sleep certain the wind was coming to get me and carry me away. Though hardly frightened by anything now, those winds return with familiar hostility. Fortunately our heating bills are manageable for now and I’m the ultimate foul weather prepper.
It seems winter is making its first introduction this week with temps in the low 20’s. Happens too fast. I would like to live a little longer in Spring and Fall.
A long missive, but maybe entertaining for your early coffee and reading enjoyment.
#RIP MatthewPerry
Fly with the angels… free from your lifelong demons who you ultimately overcame… but you respected immensely the battle and journey. You never found your life love, nor the blessing of having children, but your Eternity and your faith in God are perfect, brother. Thanks for your honesty in sharing your fight. From one fighter to another who fights different demons.

A few years ago, I read through the Diary of Anne Frank. Then, I obtained the Critical Edition of the Diary of Anne Frank which contains all the different versions with analysis.
So, it’s always a wonderment to me to read someone’s diary. A diary meant to be published, of course.
I hope, Justice, that my musings will bring some levity to rather depraved, depressing, and annihilating times.
They can’t stamp us out.
We will keep rooting, growing, and blooming wherever we are planted.
We will not comply with their evil ways and we will outlast them.
The most important thing to remember is our eternal nature. It’s facilitated by God; and, it’s the very natural and supreme order of truth. Once that’s found, everything will suddenly begin to make sense.
It’s part of the process to suffer and labor along the way.
I processed so many Indiana apples yesterday, I made myself sick with them. Couldn’t stop testing and eating the drying apple chips as they dehydrated for hours in the oven and air fryer.
The pie we baked in the air fryer yesterday was outstanding seasoned with allspice, cinnamon, brown and white sugar, and crystallized ginger. 320 degrees for a mere 23 minutes.
Today, I think, is a Coconut Curry Butternut Squash soup day with homemade crusty bread. I don’t know how to do sourdough, but I wish I did. Maybe Menagerie will share her secrets for creating a starter?
Good morning sis!!! Saw your post and thought I’d drop off a video of a sour dough starter technique that works for me (not a lot of time on my hands lol!). Ben Starr has other how to videos too! Hope your day is blessed! Much Love, stevie 💝
Good afternoon, Stevie Sis!!!
Thank youuuuuuuu for the lovely bread recipe. I can’t wait to try it out. I love good sourdough and we even have a really nice, high end, bread knife to slice them for perfect sandwiches – so this will be excellent for kiddo’s lunches, our soups, and homemade croutons!!! Yum. Thank you, love.
Hope you are well. Wish you were closer. We need a good professional accountant for my office. We have a meeting with one this week, but I’m afraid they may be more of a gimmick than a serious professional who will look out for our small, but rapidly growing business. I fear we are going to need a SWAT team to combat the government overreach and protect the boss’s assets.
We finally are at a place to afford someone good – but I need to shut my mouth and keep an open mind. I’ll try, which is hard for me on both counts.
JWoo, you asked about my sauce recipe …. here it is before … perhaps you can zoom in to take a guess at the adds & volumes for a 40 lb batch that last me about a week or less in summer … two weeks in off season by freezing it.
Otherwise …. use what I told you it will be close … used to have several regulars that just bought a pound for their spaghetti night.
after & ready to go
Mom pre feed
Mom post feed
“Super simple sourdough for lazy people method” – bwah ha ha!!! Killin’ me smallz!
He does a pretty good job explaining the why of things.
Specifically… it’s about the formula for the specific kinda bread you want to make. USE ingredients by weight not volume.
Your local conditions will make a big factor in how bread comes out. Temp and humidity change…. daily in most locations.
At 7,000 ft my humidity is generally low but during “monsoon” season it goes from less than 30% to 100% and greatly affects the amount of water I have to add / remove to get the same results, also affects baking times.
High humidity increases bake times and lowers water input as your flour absorbs the humidity.
I bought these two books long ago to learn bread baking, lots of trial and error later I have mine down pat for the last 12 years.
Many recipes in them for different styles or cultures bread, and what formula and modifying ingredients to make them. (think eggs & kind of fat or herbs)
There may be other books but really the formula stays the same.
It’s about weight of ingredients, which will make a consistent product.
Also I encourage you for sourdough starter from scratch, make a big batch first and use or freeze down to a size that your usage or fridge space can tolerate. (don’t feet it or feed it more)
I believe it is hard to get a small batch sourdough starter to survive, that why people fail so often.
You can always see if someone will give you a starter to feed and care for … just like a pet … and yes it can live for extended periods of dormancy.
I have sold / given people my starter … i’m not really guarded about it (it’s <Fleischmanns> yeast in your store) unlike San Fran which is a unique strain of yeast … as I gave everyone the formula (only larger) that is in one of the two books below, only with my specific hydration level.
<Amazon: Crust and Crumb>
<Amazon: The Bread Baker’s Apprentice>
Hi Magic! I loved his approach and so happy to come across it! The first exposure to starters overwhelmed me with feeding it every day and then trying to figure out what to do with the discard! Heck, there are some days that I don’t have time to feed myself much less a starter! Hahaha! 🤣 Appreciated your reply! 💝
BTW, mom above was last used probably mid June, and after Zero sales…. stopped making it, this is the first feed since. Tho it generally looks the same in a week, only real difference is solids settle to bottom and needs to be scrapped then blended back in.
I accomplished that my moving starter to new container & spatula bottom to remove stuck on solids … fed … blended.

Verse of the Day for Sunday, October 29, 2023
✟
“Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.”
Ecclesiastes 7:9 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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.

For it is in giving – that we will receive;
And the Pure in Heart – will ever believe!
The Glory of God – will be theirs to enjoy;
If they seek His face – in all they employ;
Grant us – Oh, Lord – a heart that is pure;
For the Pure in Heart – will surely endure!

Bless-ed Sunday morn, dear duchess 🤗 While the well off supposed keepers of the country in DC seem to believe the money they confiscate from those who put them in their positions should be used for anything but the welfare of Americans and avert their gazes, millions of our brothers and sisters are struggling to keep their heads above water…in so many ways, not just financial.
Lord, lift up our eyes and our hearts. Help make us aware of others who are in desperate need of the knowledge of your never failing lovingkindness. Please fill them with hope, not despair; and through whatever we can do as your emissaries on this earth, grant us, through the Holy Spirit, the ability to recognize and help any who have reached bottom and see no way out. We ask this in the name of Your beloved Son, Christ Jesus, who promised to provide all that we would ever need. Amen🙏🏻🕊💕
Amen goes right there, Bet !!!! ❤️
Not surprisingly you would think of others at a time such as this
since you do that on a daily basis – remember what God said…
Proverbs 13:22
“A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.”
King James Version (KJV)
HAVE A BERRY BLESSED EVENING, DEAR LADY !!! ❤️💙💜
Long live Christ The King!

Fantastic. I learned about this very simple and delicious dish while stationed in Spain and had the original many times. Cubed ham or crumbled bacon can also be added.
BEST SPANISH OMELETTE RECIPE (JUST 5 INGREDIENTS)
Spanish omelette – known in Spain as tortilla de patatas – is a Spanish classic for good reason. Made lovingly with just 4 main ingredients (plus salt and pepper), it makes a perfect brunch, tapas or light dinner for guests, snack or party or picnic food. There’s an art to making it – but it’s easy to master if you follow my tips to success!

We are so much harder on ourselves than He Ever would be. I am convinced of such.
(Hugs)
We have been most busy since my musings this morning. I woke kiddo up and had her help me move the outdoor furniture inside to the garage. Made our little “Prayer Space” and set up that floor lamp, so it would shine on the potted plants. We ran an outdoor electrical cord and tucked it under the weatherproof welcome mats, so as to elminate a tripping hazard.
Kiddo would like to have spiral sliced ham, homemade macaroni and cheese, and green beans for Sunday dinner, so that won out over my butternut squash soup. We have ham leftovers in the deep freezer, so it helps to make use of some of the aging things that need to be rotated.
I have some of the seeds from my pretty potted plants this summer. Thought I may put a couple in starter pots and move our indoor plants to a sunnier window on their baker’s racks and get some of those flowering plants going. Kiddo had one of those silly little plastic tray things and she yielded this amazing climbing Princess vine style hot pink flower that went gangbusters last winter in that big picture window. It was such a fun stark contrast to the wintery cold outside to look in and see this tropical looking thing blooming. Sadly when I went to move it and pair it down, the stems of the plant thought quite thick, were really, really fragile like a succulent and I broke the main, so it didn’t survive. Boy, was she mad at me! Owe her a new “pet plant’, so thinking we may do it again with some of those other seeds and do little starters.
Our Aerogardens are cleaned and ready to begin starters of Genovese Basil, Italian Parsley, and Cilantro. Cilantro is the bain of my existence and really hard for me to grow. Gives me new appreciations for the massive clumps I would buy in the store for a $1.00. I am embarrassed to say I’ve probably spent $20 trying to grow a bunch that would barely fit a taco.
I have Christmas Cacti that are blooming now and need to be given more room. They are probably some of my favorite indoor plants.
Before any indoor plants get moved, we must hang our snowflake lights in our big picture window. They will twinkle on throughout the winter to brighten our moods and hopefully the moods of our dog-walking neighbors.
This is probably a cheekie question coming from an Irish Catholic, but can anyone explain to me why there are so many “Jewish” persons enmesshed in the satanic Demoncrat
system in America?
I relaise there are more of my Irish/Catholic heritage in the same situation, but with the moooslim atrocities and their stated aim of world subjectation, especially the elemination of the Jews – I see that O’Bidens regime is full of Jewish people. Do they all hate America so much that they support their own demise?
The Mess In Gaza.
Billy Mitchel was a genius, prescient and ahead of his time, but there is no way, he would support giant iron bathtubs as our first line of defense today. They are sitting ducks. Mig-31Ks are patrolling neutral air space over the Black Sea 24/7, equipped with hypersonic Khinzals, which would take only six minutes to visit the Mediterranean. Air Craft Carriers are the American “Maginot Line”. It’s like the anencephalic archons in the Pentagon think there is a Star Trek Cloaking device protecting these fin de siecle relics from 80’s.
The Iranians will mine and close the Straight of Hormuz immediately. The Strait of Hormuz, through which transits at least 20 percent of the world’s oil (nearly 17 million barrels a day) plus 18 percent of liquified natural gas (LNG), which amounts to at least 3.5 billion cubic feet a day.
This will rock the world economy to it’s core.
The insanity/stupidity of the Republican & Democrat neocons (Read: tip of the spear, bumptious bell cow Nikki Haley, foppish fake tough guy Lindsey Graham, the corrupt putrescent Pelosi/Biden et.al.), can in no way be underestimated. Their record is pristine, predictable and pernicious. They are American Bourbons, they have forgotten nothing and learned nothing.
The reason we Americans are used to losing wars now (It’s going great in the Ukraine.), is because we lose so many wars.
The shores of history, is strew with the wrecks of empires.
Since the Vietnam War, ours, has been an Empire of Lies.
The resolution? This will be resolved with chemical warfare.
The IDF will use gas. They can’t fight a door to door and worse, a tunnel to tunnel war in Gaza.
Real Politik negates the lives of the hostages & are already figured in to the coming narrative.
This makes sense for both sides. The supporters of Gaza, no matter how nihilistic, suicidal and ideologically committed they are to their cause, do not want nuclear war.
A cessation of hostilities in conjunction with a now, DRAMATICALLY different narrative (People in the streets all over the world supporting HAMAS, is, literally, already the victory they hoped for.) is in the best interests of Tehran, Hezbollah, the Russians and Chinese and, in fact, considering the Occident’s weakness in anticipation of a worst case scenario, best for the U.S. too.
Lies will be told, statues erected, memorials, treacly elegies sung, ongoing apotheosis of the dead will fill the pages and screens of the jejune hoi polloi and the Pyrrhic victory of the west will be portrayed as if it were Agincourt and we will continue to be diminished until the next crisis.
We as a nation, are in precipitous decline by way of our own policies and the inane vapid politicians we “elect” in “fair and free” elections.
