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 †

It is spooky to me how much time that camera spent looking up her nose.
😂😅
When everything is gettin kinda groovy …
Does anyone from Gen-x even know what groovy means? Hard to believe that it was actually groovy to say groovy at one time in our lives.
Why didn’t I remember that line in there about… “proposing on Halloween”. Hah! Too funny. Too Spooky
I still say groovy, being ancient and all.
Way back in the ancient past there was ‘ginchy’ and of course there was ‘tubular.’

Great vid, love the music. Thanks for posting, Kenji. 🎃👻🎃👻
No artist before or since MJ ever captured the monster/werewolf “horror” genre in a modern dance routine as creatively and as entertaining as this piece.
Perfect!

I think I posted Kralijn’s video awhile back. Generally, I try to space out our concert posts but listening to her again tonight I was struck by the beauty of her original compositions. I thought about making a longer curator-like comment but on reflection, decided you guys didn’t need pedantic sounding “explanations” o f such obviously beautiful playing. Karlijn Is such a treasure, I think she deserves additional attention. 🙂
`
Good morning, Garrison💕
Beautiful young woman, beautiful guitar, stunning playing…thanks for this one 👍🏻
Mornin’ Bet 🙂 Amid chaos, she brings a little civility to our world.
We need a lot more of that, my dear friend. And beauty in all its forms.
The late Professor Sir Roger Scruton….
“I want to persuade you that beauty matters; that it is not a subjective thing, but a universal need of human beings. If we ignore this need, we find ourselves in a spiritual desert. It is a path that leads to home.
You keep the side up, Garrison, by leaving gems like this for us who are desperately searching for that which wreckers of civilization wish to bury or obliterate 💕
Beautiful compositions from a beautiful player! I love seeing people add to the canon. Genre’s can only remain vibrant & alive when people continue to contribute to them.
Agree. One thing I like about Siccas is the sites promotion of young, just arriving, genuinely great players.
Exquisite.
Morning is the time for some Black Coffee … but listen up, Betsy! It’s time for some Black Tea too! I love me some Stevie Marriot! What a voice! And the girls ain’t half bad neither!
hi kenji, i replied to one of you posts earlier this evening, and i either thought i hit “post”, or maybe went in the bin, but, anyway, just wanted to let you know , lol 🎃
Phew! I haven’t heard from you … and thought I’d somehow offended? 🤦♂️🤷🏼♂️
nope ♥️

Morning, Kenji! Morning to all my Night Owl and Early Riser Friends! 😘
You’re preaching to the choir my friend 😊 Here I sit with my first cup of the day…black with green tea with lemon…reading all the lovely posts. That’s my routine every day.
The “hard stuff” next ☕😉
I interrupt these Halloween greetings to bring you the HEADLINE OF THE DAY!!!!!
“Madonna, 65, Cuts a Youthful Figure as She is Helped from Her Car”
LOLOLOLOLOL!!! 😂😂😂
(Please tell me I am not the only one to find this hysterical)
Cuts a youthful … figure? Ohhhhhh … I thought that was referring to her awful plastic surgery
As she is helped from a car, this youthful figure. Surely an oxymoron.
The image in my mind is of HER … being carried, limp-bodied, into a waiting van
That image reminds me of Hillary Clinton.
The hard stuff always goes down easier with a little attitude adjustment FIRST!
And yes, that’s Steve Marriot’s voice that simply MADE The Small Faces. But sadly, Steve never made a dime from The Small Faces … all stolen by the manager/producer … nor did he make money from Humble Pie. We are all lectured about how black performers weren’t paid their due … but the exact same thing happened to countless white rock performers who were preyed upon by record companies and unscrupulous management. It outta be a crime. But that’s the ugly side of capitalism … it’s caveat emptor. You’re on your own … to hire Lawyers and study contracts lest you be made penniless by amoral leaches.

The death of Western Civilization … as we witness it in real time
CVS Stores in DC Resort to Framed Portraits of Toilet Paper, Other Products to Counter Rampant Theft
I can just imagine the dumb@sses who steal the TP pictures, bring them home, smash the frames….and then try to use the TP.
knowing the clientele who rob those shelves, that’s not out of the question, ed
Seems oddly reminiscent of those framed pics they put out at funeral home…..
yes, as I said:
“The death of Western Civilization”
Anything of high value (and some items that aren’t) are behind steel cages at my local Home Depot where literally HUNDREDS of day laborers from South of the border gather each day. Home Depot has also had to install portable light and camera poles on trailers throughout the parking lot to “prevent” car break-ins.
I have to find an associate with the proper key, and then he walks me to the cashier if I need to buy a spool of copper wire. This is NOT the America I grew up in. Sorry … but we’ve imported the lawless third world into our country … legalized drugs … and now in CA … legalized theft.
we’ve imported the lawless third world into our country
Yes, but the overwhelming majority of grab-and-run and smash-and-grab theft is of a decidedly – ahem – ‘homegrown’ variety … watch a few videos and you’ll get the drift, the offenders are plain as day
Mr. Whipple would approve.
Don’t STEAL the Charmin…
Waiting for someone to name his or her child “Cottonelle”.
I named my first son … Brawny
Maybe not “death” as much as “full circle”….

No self-service offered here……..
Israel Update:
-Special Force rescued an IDF female soldier from Gaza. Celebrations in Israel.
-Hamas publishes a video of three hostages, one is yelling and blaming Netanyahu in anger. She clearly did what she was told, her daughter is a hostage too. It is not published in Israel as to not let Hamas use psychological torture. I watched it and I don’t recommend. It’s clearly made to upset.
-Speaker of the IDF said that the released soldier gave valuable information and has a phenomenal memory.
-IDF attacked Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. Infrastructure. Responding to fire from there. Still low key.
-US Official told CNN that the Israeli ground operation complicated the efforts to release the hostages. Note: In Israel we waited enough and it was clear that they are playing games to delay the ground attack.
-A report from Lebanon on another missile attack on a US base in Syria. I think it is now about some 20 attacks on US bases. Biden is soft. Trump “fried” the leader of the Iranian forces, Sulemani, for a lot less than this.
-US Ambassador to the UN is saying that since the war began there are more than 60 UN workers dead. Said that the lives of UN, humanitarian workers and journalists should be protected. She also condemned nations who didn’t want to condemn Hamas attack.
Note: Many if not all of the UN workers in Gaza and journalists are Gazans.
-Biden pressures Bibi to allow 100 trucks of humanitarian aide every day. Bibi agrees and defends himself in Israel by saying that “Israel doesn’t provide it, it’s others, and it gives us leverage and international support to continue the war.” He also said that “fuel is a big no”. And if we see that aide is going to Hamas we will stop the aide.
Note: Biden is working constantly for the Gazans. God knows how much money he is going to flow to there. I just heard an interview with an expert who said that 65% of Gazans voted for Hamas. So if there are another 15% for Islamic Jihad then we have 80% who support terror organizations and a genocide. So Biden is “misguided” of “misguiding”.
-A lefty organization in Israel appeals to the Chief Prosecutor about arrests of inciters and terror supporters. The Prosecutor declines it and says those who support terror and incite should be prosecuted. Note: This is a major change as Israel’s Judiciary is very liberal and were a problem regarding the war on terror. It seems like they learned something. There are now tens of people arrested for cheering the vile murders on social media. Those are Arab Israelis. I hope they get their citizenship canceled. There is some talk about it but I doubt the Judiciary will go that far.
-After a huge rise in antisemite incidents in US Universities The White House is working on a plan to combat the phenomena. There is 400% raise in antisemite incidents in the US overall since 10/7.
-The Pentagon’s speaker : “is worried of an Iranian intervention that will lead to a regional war”. Said that “The US does not direct or advise on IDFs operations”. Said that “The arrival of the Deputy Commander of the Marines to Israel is in order to ask difficult questions to the IDF about various scenarios.” “The US expects Israel to keep its commitments to International Laws and keep the safety of journalists so they can report.”
Note: I said it and will repeat. I don’t remember anyone nudging the US when it did what It had to do in Afghanistan and in the war against ISIS. Nor do I remember voices going after the Allies in their war with the Nazies. I don’t think that we should intentionally target civilians and we don’t. But at his time the fight zones were ordered to evacuate and whoever stayed is suspected of being a terrorist.
-There is obscurity as to what the IDF is doing in Gaza and it should be so. Reports of increased motion and targeting of senior Hamas, a few senior Hamas Officers were killed. From what I see they are moving very slow with heavy bombardments of areas which have enemies. It seems like the infantry are not in huge numbers. Maybe Bibi took the advice of an Ex-General which he met recently. I listened to this man recently on YouTube. The guy is a genius and suggested to go in small hunting units. I don’t know. I will report as more information is revealed. So far there are many dead terrorist and we didn’t lose soldiers. Thanks God.
-A general change of tone from the US. From a complete support to “warnings and advises”.
NY Times explains it as a result of the Humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the internal pressure.
American Official said that Israelis think that high civilian casualties is acceptable and they bring as an example the response to Pearl Harbour etc….
Note: If you ask me it’s probably because Democrats need the un-American votes of Islamic supporters of the Palestinians. Plus the Liberals consider “victims are right” and the “strong is wrong”. That is why when Israel was the victim it was right. That is why they are Socialist and want to take the money of the productive and give the unproductive. Messed up point of view which destroys productivity.
-Putin :”The American Elites are behind the massacre of the Palestinians, and the Ukraine war and Iraq and Syria. They need chaos, they benefit from the global instability.”
Note: A half truth is more dangerous than a complete lie!
-After the missiles and drones from the Yemen Houthis (Iranian proxies) toward Israel, Saudi Arabia go into high alert. Three days ago Israel intercepted drones from Yemen, a week and a half ago 4 missiles and 30 drones were intercepted by the US, it was on the way to Israel. Recently one more missile was intercepted by Saudi and fell in Saudi Arabia. Additionally there are fierce battles between Saudis and Houthis on the Yeman border and 4 Saudi soldiers died.
Note: As you can see the Saudis are in danger from Iran. Both because it’s geographically very close and the Houthis. Then there is the historic conflict of Shia against Sunni Muslims.
Iran Shia and Saudi Sunni. So they have a reason to worry. That was the reason Saudi Arabia was considering peace with Israel. They considered Israel strong enough to deal with Iran plus the US would support them when they are good with Israel, maybe even a defense contract to be protected by the US. So it is vital that Israel wins this war or no Arab nation will want peace. More likely they will want to attack Israel if it loses deterrence.
A big expert of Middle East who is a Doctor and a world known expert for it said :
“In the Middle East peace is granted only to the strong and even that is temporary”.
He was asked then: So we have no chance for long peace?
He said: “If you’re very strong forever, you can get a temporary peace forever”.
This gives you an idea why this war is existential. It’s more than just punishing the evil and securing the border.
-US: Hamas preventing people with a foreign nationality from leaving Gaza. The US wants US citizens and others to be able to leave and Hamas have demands for allowing it.
-Israel made thousands of requests to remove inciting to terror content from Social Media.
More than 9,500 requests. 58% Facebook. 26% TicTok. 10.5% Twitter. And also YouTube and Telegram. Social Media networks agreed in 94% of the times.
-The Head of the Mossad made a quiet visit to Qatar. Apparently to discuss hostage negotiation. Note: Hamas Leaders are living close to where he went. I told you that they are going to be targeted. I wonder if that is also something he is arranging.
-A Lebanese Hezbollah radio, interviewed the ex-Hamas leader Mashaal. He was critical of Hezbollah not getting deeper into the war. The interviewer and another Lebanese Official attacked him and told him “that he is living the rich life in Qatar and how can you tell anyone to go to war. And do you have 20 billion dollars to finance the war?’
Note: I was surprised but it does suggest a certain mood in Hezbollah.
-Bibi to International media: “A ceasefire is a surrender to Hamas”.
-False information about deaths in Gaza. Today I looked into comments on Breitbart.
Someone said that there are 425 dead children every day in Gaza according to the UNRWA UN Agency there. I know that the Palestinian Health Ministry reported about 7000 total death toll in 23 days. This equals 304 dead per day. So the 425 children can’t be. I also mentioned that most of the UN in Gaza are Gazans. So one can’t tell what is the truth about it. By the way do you remember the “huge explosion in the hospital that killed 500 people ?” So aside from it proven as a false accusation and there were no 500 dead, I just watched a video with Mike Glover who is my favorite American Warrior (Ex-Delta), he was exposed to all the footage as he was on various TV stations advising. He said that it was a detached head of a rocket and not an air missile. He explains. He said that it fell on a parking structure and when he heard of 500 dead he said it was impossible. He thinks it’s more around 20 dead. It’s on YouTube if you want to see.
-The pretty young lady (Shani Louk) who was dancing in the festival and was shown on a video taken half naked, beaten unconscious and into a parade at the streets of Gaza was found dead, tortured and beheaded. This was confirmed by Israeli President. She was German -Israeli , the German Chancellor said that “Hamas must be punished.”
Note: The German Government has been understanding to the situation and this Chancellor has been rough on the terror supporters in his nation.
-UN Representative arrived and was toured at the Kibutzs where the worst atrocities happened. After the tour he called to release the hostages.
-While Israel is keeping quiet about the hostage rescue of the woman soldier, it was revealed that the Shabak (spy agency) led the operation with the the YAMAM Israel top hostage rescue unit and apparently the Mossad was involved too. I have posted here videos of the YAMAM before. They are under Border Police and it’s rare that they will be behind the borders. I will post a separate video about them, they are amazing. The best of who we have. So there was a gunfight and the terrorists got injured and the hostage released.
-IAF (Israeli Air Force) is still bombing targets in Gaza. It appears that Israel has perfected the coordination between ground forces to jets and attack helicopters. The ground forces are in communication with the pilots and directing them. They are also using
unmanned airplanes.
Thank you for your care and prayers.
God Bless you, your family and Nation !
David,
Thoughts on Turkey? It is my understanding that at a Pro-Palestinian protest / march / political rally, Erdogan made significant threats to enter into war with Israel.
He is a hard core Islamist. If he was closer to Israel I would be worried. But he is too far to be able to mobilize and cross 800 miles without being annihilated on the way, not to mention the logistics of operating so far and not to mention that the western world will kick him out of NATO and make Turkey suffer economically.
Thanks for the reply, and the top quality detailed information. Keep it up!
Thanks.
Hello David,
Our prayers continue for you every day.
There are much distortions of media accounts, as they are simply noise. They wear everyone down using fake reports, fake allegiances, fake conspiracies.
May God judge us harshly if it were the leadership of the United States that began this terrible war on your people and We The People did nothing to stop them or to fight for Truth.
They are flooding our country with illegals to make the fight that much harder. One need only look to Machiavelli “The Prince” to identify the origin of such schemes. What are the nationalities of all the illegals and where are they coming from? A question not towards you, but one for us here on the ground to wonder and eventually get to the bottom of.
Who would have such finance to cover the costs of this human invasion and to fuel the bloodlust of jihad? Though some usual suspects may be sympathizers and the media has allowed them to be devious figureheads, I believe they’re just useful stooges to keep Americans from seeing who really the Elitists are selling us off to. Money and power tends to yield from the oil and gas manufacturers and brokers. Money that builds islands out of nothing. Our oil production was one of the first things the Elitists crippled with only a slow flow to our people allowed to cripple all of us financially.
We will have ground war here the likes Americans have never seen nor ever fought in.
As per my faith in God, I pray for your success in wiping Hamas and Hezbollah from the map and any who naively support them. There are no excuses for naivete when babies heads come off, yet of course we see the deep sins of abortion and child trafficking and abuse in this country and the world. Seems the United States has been dealing and purveying in the sick and demented for a very long time… and those sins must and should be paid for.
For the evil and sick of heart and mind, my prayers cast out such wickedness to the depths of hell where they and it belong! In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, I CAST THEM OUT!
Let every weapon cast by demons turn and attack themselves seven-fold and let their anguish, grief, pain and hostility be merciless and their final rest be in the tombs of eternal darkness and pain.
God knows the hearts and minds of men and He Reads every one of them. It is better for a millestone be hung about their neck and cast in the sea to drown than to harm a child of God. His Word is a mighty sword and shield, comfort and promise keeper.
I pray a protection over the world’s children today and everyday. I pray them safe and can find joy and that through The Lord He gives them strength to right these terrible wrongs in the future.
In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, I pray, AMEN
May God bless and keep you, David. No doubt you share King David’s name and you share in his bravery with your war front reporting. Be ever so safe, valiant one.
🙏💕
From Texas . . . GET ‘EM!!
David; Bless Israel for doing what MUST be done. What is that? Creating a deterrent for future murderous escapades by radical, murderous, Islam. Pounding the offenders so thoroughly and completely that anyone planning such an attack … say … in the USA … will have to count the COST of such actions. And the cost will be utterly disproportionate… as it should be.
This is a War to defend civilization over mayhem and mass murder
David, thanks for the update.
I pray for Bibi to keep telling those that are whining for a ceasefire to go pound sand. Much work to be done and he does not need the interference from the Biden administration.
For Americans trying to leave Gaza the news says that Egypt is blocking them from entering Egypt. So another angle on that.
Take care and be safe, our friend.
David, we as a country need prayers as Bless-ed Israel does. Thank you.
I am getting the feeling that Netanyahu’s and his military cabinet advisors have strengthened their resolve and hopefully are alert to those voices from DC who may be false…
May God give them courage, discernment, and wisdom in the days and weeks ahead 🙏🏻🇮🇱

Oh, stop! I want that puppy!💕

Caroline Glick.
She describes something quite bad from the Oct 7 attack in the first few minutes. So if you cannot hear it, then don’t open the link.
In other news, I have a lovely young Jewish family as my customers. I only met them recently and only know they are Jewish because I heard a Hebrew word that I recognised (imma = mum). I only know a handful of words.
The mum is Israeli and today I couldn’t think of what to say. About 3 times I said to her “I have no words”. I have since thought what I can tell her next time – we will overcome this.
The little girl is the most beautiful child you can see. She must be about 2 or 2.5, and the other week she blew me kisses 😍
When I see this child, I want to cry. I think about all the sweet defenceless little ones in Israel who were attacked violently.
I hope they continue to come as my customers. They’re so sweet and lovely.
Hope all y’all have a fantastic day. That’s my Texas lingo 😂 – but I learnt that y’all wasn’t plural from an ex NYer.
Happy Halloween.
Texas plural “all y’all”
Blessings on your day and your customers, Rach.
A reckoning is coming, Rach.
This is all very purposeful to start a global war. They’re making it as heinous as possible so that no mere mortal man can just walk on by.
I had not seen this when I first responded to you. I only got through the first moment or two into the initial story.
There is no hell that burns hot enough for this evil.
Lord come quickly!! Please God have mercy on us for the sins we are about to commit in the Name of Righteousness.
Lord, please, come quickly and tend to Your flock.
Yes, I saw the news the day prior and cried. Shocking. And that’s why I have no words…
A few seconds video about the YAMAM. This is the unit that rescued the female soldier from Gaza. They are the best that we have. Better than our equivalents to the Navy Seals and Delta Force. Its specialty is hostage rescue. It is the National Counter Terror unit. To join the unit you have to have finished either infantry or usually Special Forces. Then you have to go through a selection process where maybe 5% are selected. Then months and months of unique training. Most warriors stay in the unit for many years and in recent years they were on almost a daily counter terror operations.
The worst known terrorist confrontation are assigned to them. Officially they are Border Police Special Unit. Not all the means that the have are known.
They are in close relations with US Navy Seals and Delta and other similar units in the world. If experience counts, no one in the world have more real life counter terror experience. They are true patriots and will give their lives to save others when needed.
Their Motto is: Psalm 18:37-40 KJV. “I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: Neither did I turn again till they were consumed.”
Fall activity! Good morning everyone.
Busy times.
104 quarts pink apple sauce jarred up yesterday.
And you dressed snappily!
Did you peel all those apples too??? Whoo weee!
Nope. Just core them which leaves 8 slices. Steam to soften/cook, run through separator which eliminates peels and any remaining seeds or stem bits. Then jar up in Mason jars after adding cinnamon or what have you. Steam cook in jars , 36 quarts at a time.
This accomplished at a local cannery. During WWII and victory gardens lots of community cannerys were co-located with schools and supported out of school funds for public use.
This one is still in use 73 years later.
The photo is of a church group making apple butter back in the day.
That is really neat, Monti. Wish I had access to that cannery the other day, but made a few neighbors happy.
The Bible is filled with Beautiful Words
State’s Rights… and Responsibilities.
Be proud of your state.
Know its history, motto, heroes, music, flowers, birds, voting processes, etc. You, along with every other citizen of the state, are responsible for it.
50 States of the United States, alphabetically.
Yes sir!! Federalism at it’s finest as the founders intended. The Constitution is not a self-enforcing document!!
Israel Update:
-Fierce battles between our forces and Hamas in a number of locations in Gaza. Some face to face. I pray for them.
-IDF killed another main Battalion Head of Hamas , this one was responsible to the attacks on two specific towns in Israel.
They are losing many of their main commanders, close to 60, this must be causing disorganization.
This must be a strategy. A hunting strategy with Intelligence on the ground and attacks from the air.
October 31
MORNING
Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. Zech. 4:6
Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him? Isa. 40:13
God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence. I Cor. 1:27-29
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:8
Born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:13
My Spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not. Hag. 2:5
The battle is not yours, but God’s. II Chron. 20:15
The LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’S. I Sam. 17:47
EVENING
Do as thou hast said. II Sam. 7:25
Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope. Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations. Psa. 119:38, 42, 49, 54, 72, 89, 90
God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath; that by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus. Heb. 6:17-20
Exceeding great and precious promises. II Pet. 1:4

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you. – Isaiah 26:3
Are you grieving? Are you dealing with chronic pain because of sickness or disease? Do you have a child who has gone astray and you do not even know where he or she is? These are potential disrupters of peace.
Polycarp was a first-century bishop in Smyrna (modern Izmir in Turkey) said to have been mentored by John the apostle. The Romans set out to destroy him, as they did other leaders in the Early Church, for preaching against their gods and for Jesus Christ. An eyewitness document records how Polycarp was taunted by the Roman officials of Smyrna who promised to make sure that he “shared the sufferings of Christ.” At age 86, he was arrested and taken to the arena to be burned at the stake. Out of respect for his old age, the official told him if he would deny Christ, his life would be spared.
Polycarp’s response declared, “86 years have I served Him, and He has done me no wrong. How can I blaspheme my King and my Savior?” Ultimately, the fire was lit, and the flames shaped into the form of an arch and encircled his body. He appeared “like a basket of gold and silver, glowing from a furnace,” and those who were witnesses smelled a sweet scent, like frankincense or other precious spices. He is recognized as an early church martyr, but he never doubted for a moment the peace that was his in Jesus.
Have you received such peace from the Lord that you could stand before tormenters or those who would take your life and stay firm for Jesus? Allow the peace of Jesus to comfort your grief, help you endure pain, and keep you in prayer for your straying child. “Stay your mind” on the Savior. Remain deeply connected to Him in prayer and in reading and adhering to the Word of God. Ask that your life glorifies the Lord each day.

Good morning all.
I live about 35 miles NNE of Indianapolis. At 06:00 local it was 23.7 degrees and so the hard freeze warning they had in the forecast was correct. A forecast for tomorrow morning I saw said “possibility of light snow”! First day of November and a possibility of light snow is in some forecasts for tomorrow morning.
We got an inch or rain over the weekend. Though I have an automatic rain gage, I also have an old fashioned type also. I forgot the empty it and this morning when I took out the dogs I noticed it had a solid 1″ block of ice in the bottom of it. Brought it in and ran warm water on it to get the ice out. Sitting on the dish drying rack now to drain and dry.

✟
“I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.”
Psalms 40:8 (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.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

Amen.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
HELP ME, LORD
Hear my prayer, O Lord – please hear my cry;
Hide not Thy face from me – stand closely by;
Incline Thine ear to me – answer my call;
For I am helpless in my wherewithal!
My days are consumed – in pain, I move not;
My heart beats in vain – overwhelmed, besought;
I struggle to breathe – I implore Your aid;
Begging for mercy – and yet, unafraid!
Strengthen me, Lord – as only You know how;
Send forth Thy Comforter to help me now;
Send forth the angels to hold me upright;
Help me, Lord – Help me to live, love, and fight!
The enemy plagues me both day and night;
His demons work to discourage me right;
He taunts me, haunts me, and laughs at my pain;
My prayers he sees worthless – and all in vain!
Be it Your will – with Your power and might;
Remove this affliction – far out of sight;
Defeat the devil – his power disband;
Help me, Lord – with Your Healing Hand!
You called me, Lord – in Your Service to be;
Your minister, Lord – bring people to Thee;
How can I manage – for people to care?
With this heart sorely in need of repair?
I ask not for me this healing take place;
I ask not this suffering You erase;
I ask only to stand for You, O Lord;
To bring others to You in one accord!
If in this state, You still want me to serve;
If it be Your will, my heart you preserve;
Whatever you decide – I will endure;
With You by my side – of that I am sure!
Help me, Lord to accept what You decide;
In You and with You – I long to abide;
Through You and for You – my heart is alive;
Heal me, Lord – Help me – to live, love, and thrive!

Odd of you to say this poem was about me –

about a Pastor who was suffering from a
debilitating heart condition – unsure if
surgery would be successful – or – if it
was his time to go home !!! ❤️
He went home to the Father on March 12, 2022 !!!
Amazing Grace !!! ❤️
HAVE A BERRY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️💙💜

HOW APPALLING IS THIS?
It appears Globalists are controlling, by criminal means, people in positions of authority and trust.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/10/explosive-claims-ex-director-dia-gen-mike-flynn/
No wonder certain people were so hostile to the release of the film “Sound of Freedom.”
As well as everyday eye drops everyone uses, people undergoing eye surgery, as I did a month ago, are going to be concerned about this. One’s eyesight is so precious. To even think of making eye drops in unsanitary conditions is so unethical. Another betrayal of trust.

I wonder if there was foreign interference to stop or delay Netanyahu. Who was behind the generals doing that.

I love this kid! He is good! We needed some humor!
Israel Update:
-Two IDF soldiers fell in Gaza. Roi Wolf and Lavi Lipshitz. They were both 20 years old and warriors in the Special Force Reconnaissance of Givati.
There are other two badly injured.
May they rest in peace, prayers for their souls and their families. Prayers for the wounded and their families.
The enemy is loosing large numbers of terrorists but this is not the subject of this update.
We in Israel suspected upcoming bad news after two seniors fron the Defense suggested today that “there will be painful price and we must stay strong and patient”.
Note: There a rumors that there are many more fallen. Anywhere from 7-20. God i pray the rumor is false.
In Israel it’s hard to keep secrets for long.
I am watching the largest flock of these Golden Crowned Kinglets right now in my backyard, that I have ever seen in my life. At least 30-50 of them. Their could be a few Ruby Crowned Kinglets with them, but if so their are only a few mixed in. I call them our “Winter Warblers”. They are tiny and their flicking their wings it the giveaway that it is them. They also have a diagnostic wing bar markings. They are loving my waterfall and shrubs/goldenrods.
Cokitto, what a pretty bird! I don’t believe I’ve ever seen it before. Is it the water spray/mist that they are enjoying from your waterfall or do they actually dive in and out of the waterfall?
In my neck of the woods. in central ny, the wildfire smoke that descended in early summer from Canada drove away the birds. The worst spell of smoke was the first round, about a week in June, the smoke departed and returned a few times but mostly we were smoke free by mid-summer. A couple of cardinals and some other birds tried to make a comeback but then they too disappeared.
No birds in the trees or garden out back for months now. For the first time in my life this summer and fall, I am waking up to zero bird song–silence except for traffic as I type this. Eerie- fitting for Halloween.
And conversely, sunrei, that is sad news…
So happy for you colkitto! How cool is that!
Just say NO!
And lock the door.
Israel Update:
I already said that we had two fallen soldiers and two injured.
There are two rumors in my social media. I can’t confirm or deny.
One is that there are many more fallen soldiers and one that there is a large number of released hostages.
We will wait for the IDF to publish. If there are hostages released they may delay the release to obtain
information and get an advantage.
True or not I am giving you the mood and stress in Israel. We are on edge.
If a white person assaults a black person, the white is accused of a hate crime.
When a black person assaults a white person, the white person is called a racist, an oppressor and an instigator.
Does the same “white is always wrong” principle apply to Jewish people and HAMAS?
Just curious.
Israel Update:
-At this moment there is a missile attack on a US base in Syria. Done by an Iranian related militia.
-We are getting rockets going to central Israel. Some injured. This is ongoing.
-Gazans say 400 dead in the past 24 hours. I am getting reports of hundreds of dead terrorist witching this number.
-IDF took over a hamas stronghold in North Gaza (Jabalia). 50 dead terrorists.
Happenings in Canada:

Turdeau and Pussy Galore Freeland are playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes.
Turdeau et al are shoring up lieberal support in Atlantic Canada by granting a carbon tax waiver to those subjects. The carbon tax waiver was structured so it only applies to them.
Scott Moe, Premier of Saskatchewan, is taking matters into his own hands and applying fairness for the citizens of Saskatchewan.
The NDP is onside on this issue.

Good decision N.D.P. Wake up B.C. N.D.P. Now, it’s your turn to grow a backbone and a couple of brain cells, Federal disgraced N.D.P. and stop propping up the odious Trudeau.
Well done, Premier Moe!
