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 †

‘Pepto Bismol pink’ waters on Maui cause a stir … and draw a crowd
Good morning, Nim. Is the pink water an algae bloom?
Result of the Directed Energy Weapon used to ignite the inferno.
yes, it’s an algae that likes hyper-saline water
that pond hasn’t received much runoff the past couple of years, so its salinity has increased by evaporation
there’s a lake in Australia that’s a more well-known example
First, wildfires in Maui that destroyed poor Hawaiian citizens’ homes and land but barely caused any damage to multi-millionaires’ homes, and now this.
How soon before gazillionaires like Oprah, Hussein and Mike Obama, and $oro$ (does he own a mansion on Maui ??) will be telling the natives that the tiki and volcano gods are mad at them and the only thing that will save them is if they leave the islands.
And then the rich dummies will have their very own Epstein Island…
you’re needlessly conspiratorial, ed
multi-millionaires’ homes are on the other side of the island or north of Lahaina where there are golf course estates
the Lahaina area that burned was a bedroom community of working-class schlubs, many were maids, bartenders, waitresses, groundskeepers, etc that worked at resort hotels a couple miles north
their community just happened to be where power lines went down in high winds and sparked brushfires that then overran their town
there’s no great conspiracy happening, sorry to disappoint you
Saw an episode of “What On Earth” that showed that same thing and described the cause on an island off Australia a couple years ago.
Don’t eat the shellfish!!! Nature uses bright colors to warn of imminent danger!!
ack !!!
now THERE’S a nuisance algae bloom if I ever saw one
😜😝😝😝😬

Stop looking at pictures of bacon
I think I’ve read that there’s an intervention group / 12 step program
I’ve heard of this group it requires eating 12 pieces of bacon every day for 12 years 😂😂
Doing something
for 21 days in a row
can create a habit.
Every day
for
12 years?

Now … my son SWEARS by baking his bacon to non-curling perfection. I tried it once and spent the next week cleaning my oven. Bacon cooking tips?
Heavy flat spatula will flatten them down while cooking 😎

Love the Pioneer Woman !! And she prefers what my son does … cooking on parchment paper. But still nothing about the spattering in the oven … perhaps I need to cover it … but will that ruin the crispiness? I haaaaaa te cleaning the oven … so I’m gun shy about trying it again.
The bottom rack seems the trick.
Perhaps foil on top rack hanging down both sides and back wall would work?
I won’t dare try, cuz I too hate cleaning the oven.
Morning, Mr jay…headed for the ☕

These are the kind of timeless children’s stories that little innocent ones should be introduced to so they will enjoy reading and want more. The gift of loving books is a great life-changing and lasting gift to give a child. The enchanting images and stories of ‘Wind in the Willows’ and books like them, have stayed with me all my life. I still love them.
Children’s innocence should never be poisoned with the filth that some libraries present as appropriate for little ones.
Wonder if you ever read the “Samson and the Church Mice Series”, jb. Absolutely gorgeous, clever…and I have NEVER seen illustrations like the ones in these precious books.
Here are the only two episodes I could find. Enjoy..
Back in the 55mph days “Church Mouse” was my speed limit violating channel 19 handle . . .
Oh niiiiice!!! 😍
I just watched the first one. and looking forward to the other. Oh Betsy, they are wonderful!
So delightfully English. No I haven’t seen them before. I love them! Thank you.
jb, the BBC had a whole series of them! I could have cried to find only two. The books are just as marvelous. Page after page of all the church mice, each one doing something different. You could sit reading for hours on every single page.
I’m pretty certain after a long time of their not being available they’ve gone into reprint. I adore them all and have them al!..A wonderful present for young ones 😍
I mean, just look at the second episode, the little mouse sticking his tongue out at the gawpers!!! LOLOL!!!
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
No, bless him…but about my speed first thing in the morning😂
Toad. He is adorable in his confused, absent-minded, sometimes excitable, but well-meaning way.
Me too. I am barely sentient for about 20 ins or until I can get my first cup of tea.

Y’all need to come over to my house so you can hear what top quality vinyl played back on top quality (all tubes) audio equipment sounds like. Yes, my turntable cost more than my first car … in fact my cartridge cost more than my first car. But what price wouldn’t you pay for the ultimate sound reproduction? Listening gives me great joy.
Oh what the heck ! It’s Friday … so let’s have some psychedelica !!
That would be a real treat, kenji!
I’m glad that you can maintain your passion for music with the equipment to produce it.
You can probably describe the difference between listening to music and really hearing it.

Israel Update:
-Mossad Chief with CIA Director are negotiating with Hamas via Qatar about a big hostage release deal for the women, children and elderly. Israeli Officials say “we are not yet close to a deal but it did not collapse, it is moving slowly. We hope to release all the children.”
-Within the obscurity of the war and the IDF keeps it this way, It does seem that the IDF is closing in on the Shifa hospital which is the headquarters. The reason I know is that the Defense Minister did say: “They in Shifa are hearing the chains of our tanks”.
I also got an idea that they are getting close from Social media. Note: If this is true it means that the IDF is moving a lot faster than anticipated. They may have to get into a close quarter battle with Hamas inside the hospital.
-The Defense Minister mentioned that the IDF is using now new technologies to deal with people inside tunnels and the tunnels themselves.
– Biden congratulates that Israel agreed for Humanitarian pauses. White House said 4 hours per day. In Israel I see some conflicting data. On one hand there are reports of the Humanitarian Pauses on the other hand both Biden and Israel is clear that there is not going to be a ceasefire without hostage release. Note: To me it looks like Biden can how satisfy his base and say that he helped Gazans, Bibi is getting more time and US support, the IDF will control the locations and timings so that the pauses are not everywhere and it can be used to move more citizens to the South. I am sure that Israel has spies in the crowd to look for hostages and terrorists in the crowd. If in any way this means that Hamas can improve positions for 4 hours a day then it’s a big mistake. I will follow up on this and let you know.
It’s still early to get the details.
-There is an exchange of fire between Israel and Hezbollah. This is a daily occurrence.
-NY : Thousands of students and teachers went to the streets to protest “The genocide of the Palestinian people”. It was at more than a 100 high schools.
Note: It’s a problem for Israel and future American support. But it’s really more of an American problem. I believe that the anti-Israel are also anti-America as we knew it.
This must be well organized. You don’t just get 100 schools doing the same thing.
-Chairman of the Israeli Parliament spoke to the the Austrian Parliament in a Memorial Day related to the Holocaust. He said: “No one is safe if radical Islam will not be defeated”.
-First ever interception by the Israeli Arrow 3 anti ballistic missile system. It was a missile from Yemen. It is good for sales. Now that it has an operational success. After the Russian invasion to Ukraine it became needed and wanted item. Germany made a huge purchasing deal and others are interested. Note that this missile can intercept outside the atmosphere and can attack satellites too.
-The White House denied the allegation of Israel’s “War Crimes”.
“We didn’t come to that conclusion.”
-A Yemen drone hit a school in Eilat the south city in Israel. No injuries but the schools is now closed. Note: Too much is coming from Yemen. Expect a retaliation soon. It’s far away but an F35 is stealth and can get there.
-The Biden Administration is facing a lot of criticisms from its own base for being too much for Israel. Also his poles dropped farther since the War. Note: I think that Israel understands it and may spreed up the war before Biden flips on us. I see signs that the IDF is moving faster towards the hotter areas of Gaza.
-As the IDF conquers more and more of Gaza, I see more and more evidences of how the Hamas operates missiles from amusement parks and mosques, stores ammunitions in schools and useless hospitals. This is all on video.
-Montreal Canada, the Police investigates a shooting into a Jewish religious center.
No injuries.
-I see a video of an Israeli soldier using a megaphone while Gazans are walking from the North to the South, speaking Hebrew addressing possible Kidnapped Israelis telling them to “not be afraid and walk toward the Israeli soldiers.” There is a concern that Hamas and kidnapped will move to the South.
-Hamas uses a psychological war and having an elderly women hostage on video attacking Bibi for his not helping her etc… Also a child is talking. It is not published in Israeli media because it serves the enemy.
-IDF makes a massive raid in a couple of cities in the West Bank. Also a targeted assassinations of a car with terrorists. 12 terrorists killed. IDF are well.
-Teachers and Schools of UNRWA UN in Gaza celebrated the 10/7 massacre. More than a 100 terrorists who killed Israelis were graduates of those schools. A research institute shows a relation between the hate material they teach to the terrorists they produce.
-The Israeli parliament is raising the daily pay for Reservists. from 215 to 300 Shekels a day.
300 Shekels = $78.00.
-IDF Chief of Staff and the Head of Shabak (Spy Agency) made a visit into Gaza.
Chief of Staff: “
-An IDF Infantry unit (“The Nahal”) charged on a Hamas stronghold of the their most elite commando unit and Killed 20 terrorists and had no injuries of their own. Also they managed to get important intelligence. This battle is now studied on the ground and shared as it was a 100% success with zero injured despite working in area that is heavily booby trapped and had tunnels and terrorists emerging from a few places. It was a 5 hour battle and the IDF moved slow and smart, positioned snipers and machine guns and coordinated with an Apache helicopter too.
-IDF video how they find a factory to manufacture missiles and drones under a pink children room of a house.
-Speaker of the World Health Organization : “The kidnapped are in no worse condition than the citizens of Gaza”. Note: Those are the people that managed the Covid operations world wide. What kind of people are those. Awful! There is a point where stupidity becomes treason”. This is not just stupid.
-More than 130 tunnel shafts were destroyed. The IDF has an estimated map of the Metro tunnel system of Gaza. Not all the tunnels are destroyed. The IDF has operational considerations of what to do with each tunnel.
-There is an online buzz about the number “1111”. This Saturday on the 11/11 Nasrallha the leader of Hezbollah is supposed to have another speech. Iran has noted in its News account the number 1111 and the Houthis of Yemen also noted this same number. Some think it may indicate a coordinated attack on Israel. But no one knows. Could just be a psychological war.
I also saw images of thousands of Shia Muslims coming in busses from Iraq to Lebanon. The Images look to me “doctored”. So we either have something cooking or just deception.
-I just watched a massive bombardment around a hospital. It looks like the IDF is trying to scare the civilians who are hiding in the hospitals because it is preparing to invade there. Realize that Hamas have their command centers in hospitals or under hospitals. Also possibly the hostages are there too close to their leadership as human shields. Note: Once Israel occupies the hospitals it’s a whole new situation. Israel can control the ventilations and supplies and communications to the tunnels. This will be the ultimate negotiation card to get a good deal for hostage release.
It’s hard to tell what is going to happen then. It’s hard to tell what is in the terrorist’s minds.
I assume they want to stay alive and get some prisoners released from Israeli prisons and have a victory image to wave with. For all the hostages I am pretty sure Israel will agree.
We all want to see the hostages back home as a top priority. But Hamas will have to be expelled of Gaza and hunted afterwards.
Thank you for your support!
God Bless you all!

Thank you and may God Bless and Keep you and yours safe, David !!
Thank you again for your very detailed updates, Sir !!
Thank you.
Thanks as always, David
What do you know about this Raptor News? Seems to me the reports are so rich in specifics that they must be a production of IDF command structure, either hands-on or at least briefing these Raptor graphics and script writers with operational summaries.
Ah – at this time-cued point, they talk about summarizing from various reporting sources “from over 100 reporters and from reports we obtain from military information systems” so I guess that yes – they receive detailed briefings or summary progress documents from IDF command
Then I guess their graphics and animation techs get busy on an episode
At any rate, would still like to hear your impression of this outfit and these reports if you can … thanks
If the time-cue doesn’t stick, scroll forward to 4:42 for the explanation I described
… continuing to answer my own question, the “military information systems” sounds to me like IDF has a very busy public-information staff who are issuing detailed after-action reports and summaries. I imagine those would be the detail-rich sources that the Raptor folks rely on to script and animate these reports
Thanks. I watched and they do a good job of presentation. I don’t know them so it will only be my opinion.
They must be Israelis because they use information that is published on Israeli media regarding the battles. Israel sometimes publishes successful battles info. They also use the word “terrorists” that also makes me think they are Israelis. Many others call them “militants”.
If they claim to have Intelligence Sources in Israel it is only reduces their credibility because they don’t!
The directions of the forces are some of the highest kept secrets in the nation. It’s a very serious crime to leak in a time of war. The only way it could be from Intelligence sources would be if Israel is trying to feed misinformation.
The other way to get specific directions is from Al Jazeera news. They are on the ground. They are involved and trying to put together comprehensive sketches of the battles and directions. Al Jazeera is literally working for the enemy. They even lied and said that Israel is “attacking the refugees”, they tried to stop the refugees from leaving the north. I saw a credible Israeli source using them one time and exposing that they are the source. In Israel there is a censure in war and media have to say it’s from “out of Israel sources and who” or they can go to jail.
Regarding damaged tanks and bulldozer it is highly questionable because I read a report in Israeli media that was clearly from IDF sources and it said “no injuries”. It would be hard to have no injuries if tanks got hit.
thanks, David
yes, I was presuming they’re Israeli, their scripts are quite pro-Israel in tone
Thank you again David.
11:11 again! Has been haunting me for almost 30 years. Started in 1994, apart from seeing it on digital clocks/displays. Keeps coming up, in different ways, has been less recently.
I don’t comprehend how Islam can be two different things (radical vs “normal”) there’s only one koran.
What the islamic arabs want, and is their goal, is shariah law imposed globally.
This is totally incompatible with any society based on Judeo-Christian values and beliefs, and certainly not with the constitutional republican system we have in USA.
I do not see anyway these two systems can coexist anywhere, shariah law has been creeping in in the UK, there are many muslins in positions of power
You might find this interesting, Graham. It’s a longish video, about one and a half hours. About a Muslim woman who became a Christian. I know that there are many of these videos appearing and they are encouraging, but many more unhappy people and/or ‘seekers after truth’ need to see and hear them.
Everyone’s story is different of course,. However, it seems more of these people finding the Messiah, are having dreams, seeing visions, and feel they have had supernatural experiences. Jesus is reaching out to them.
David – Thanks you so much for your updates. I have concerns about these “4 hour pauses”. I think it puts the IDF in a vulnerable position.
My wife did some research. There is a company in Beverly Hills named “Crowds On Demand” that provides paid protesters for demonstrations. Also there is a website “paidliberalprotestor dot com. Kind of confirms these ‘protests’ are not spontaneous and are organized.
George Soros is funding some of the pro-Hamas protests to the tune of $15 million (as of Oct 28 NY Post article)
https://nypost.com/2023/10/28/news/soros-funneled-15-m-plus-to-groups-rallying-for-hamas/
Soros is pure EVIL. What a waste of a life. what an idiot.
Think of all the good he could have done with his wealth. How proud his sons could have been for a father they admired and the world would have admired, instead of this pathetic weak man hating his way through life.
But he chose the dark side. and its evil and malice. So typical he would fund more death and hate. He is not alone I am sure we could name other vermin like that. They will pay. “Vengeance is mine” sayeth the Lord.
Not surprising.
yes. The pauses are concerning.

Good idea?
Better than the alternative I guess
Why not? Didn’t they do something like that for the Space Shuttle?
Great Idea. Why not try it, test it, etc , There would have to be some way to stabilize the main passenger section( that saves the people) so it does not just go into the water with a pointy end first, as the aircraft itself would do in normal circumstances. A lot of flotation devices would be needed also.

kenji, this story is for you
a girlfriend and i drove to biloxi , mississippi some years ago, to see fleetwood mac at the biloxi coliseum and convention center .. we were planning on getting tickets at the window when we got there.. ummm, no.
we were still able to go inside though and walk to the rest room and down the halls where the smaller rooms were..well. we could hear music coming from one of the rooms, so we opened the door and peeked inside .. i was like . o.m.g. ! valerie ,
that’s eric. burdon.
and we walked right in. i think it was a fireman’s convention. a very small room with folding chairs set up in front of a small stage .. there was a bar set up to the right , and we walked straight to that , lol.
and acted like we knew what we were doing.
no one says anything to us,so we sit … and during a break , i walk to the stage and asked mr. burdon to play i’m cryin.. and he did.
and heres tom … when they played 5 nights at the Vic Theater.. one of those nights was my birthday, and i had plans to be there..but. no.
Whoa! and on a Rickenbacker !! Campbell is making it sing!!

Hey Annie,

My daughter says there is a display in a fairly nearby hardware and next time i’m by there will try in person.
Any suggestions on size and musical scale?

Israel Under Fire, Erick Stackelbeck: Watchman on the Wall, interviewing the Israeli hostage families. This is the hardest thing I’ve ever seen….

I’m searching for the video on Rumble and other outlets, not having much success as of yet.
Israel Update:
-I mentioned earlier that the IDF may be reaching the Hospitals which means they are much faster than expected. Well, now it is confirmed.
Israeli Tanks are surrounding the Shifa hospital (Hamas’s Headquarters) and Special Forces are fighting around it while the IDF is calling the people to leave. There is a flow of people leaving.
Additionally another hospital is also surrounded.
Those are major accomplishments. Much faster than what was expected.
Note: I have the feeling that Sayeret Matkal (Israel’s Delta Force ) will enter the hospital shortly.
-A humanitarian pause have began. 4 hours. IDF is using it to get the refugees that are in the hospitals out. Medical staff said they are staying no matter what.
-IDF killed another leader and planner of the 10/7. The man who was over the attack on the military bases.
Thanks David. I hope it goes well. Hamas may disguise themselves as medical personnel IMO. They are devious.
I am sure they disguise. As long as they are not armed let it be. We are trying to isolate the tunnels to reach the shortages and their leaders.
Thank you david!!
Good morning all.
Yesterday they poured the slabs for the garage and sun porch. Today they pour the 10′ Apron on the front of the garage and the footers for the two 4″ square tubing posts that will hold up the 12″ I-beam that will span the 30′ overhang. The sidewalk the leads from the front door to the pass door on the garage that will be in the north side right up by the west corner and also leads to the 10′ apron. The steps from the sunroom and the small slab they lead to. The steps will have 8′ risers and 16″ treads and be 5′ wide.
The sliding windows will be 5′ wide. Two on the 12′ width facing east will leave 8″ and each corner and between them. Three on the north side will have about 12″ at each end and between them.
This morning I will go to Mofab and give them the final dimensions for the 4″ square tubing posts and talk to them about using ornamental feet to cover the bottom flanges so they will look nice instead of like something one would see in an factory or warehouse. Also decide on how we will keep the steel feet from corroding when in contact with the concrete. There are several possible options.
I will also have to finalize the electrical details and give my nephew, the electrician, the details and let him know the schedule has been bumped up.
Then stop by the HVAC peoples place with the prints for the sunroom and get the outside split duct heating and A/C unit ordered.
All of this is happening because Jay called me yesterday and told me that they will start framing Wednesday next week. Before I was told the wouldn’t be doing anything after the concrete was all poured until
Then in the afternoon I will be helping Steve with the log cabin again. He went to his friends sawmill yesterday and had some recut and got some new long pieces and thinks he how has what he needs to finish the walls. He was out there until dark yesterday cleaning them up.
Awesome play-by-play, rah! My experience when you can work of the cured slab the project accelerates. Seeing vertical work take place is always exciting.
God speed and hoping you get dried-in before any weather slows you down!
Bob the Builder following along…
Details still to work out:
When can I seal the concrete in the garage?
Openers for the garage doors.
A month curing time is recommended for new concrete sealing. Cardboard or carpet remnants to prevent mud from being tracked in/on then removed at the end of each workday.
I like the sidemount/jackshaft openers. Much quieter and cleaner install.
About quality/price
“Buy once – cry once”
Rob, any way to show a photo of the log cabin progress? (If you can/want to)
Would be interesting to see…
I’ve got em, but I will need to get set up to post them. Do what I can when I can get around to it. Now I’m off to start what will be busy day.

Happy Birthday to the U.S. Marines. On 10 November 1775 the Continental Congress authorized the formation of 2 battalions of Marines. Organization soon began at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia. The first mission – – capture of gunpowder and other munitions located at Nassau- – was accomplished in early March of 1776.
The best of the best. Honour in service.
I love this. God bless them.
That is wonderful and inspiring. God bless them and protect them, and all who fight for freedom and for righteous causes.
Amen, Amen🙏🏻

We sure haven’t been sleeping in around here with this construction. Every morning this week they’ve been here and at it between 07:00 and 07:30. The dogs let us know the minute the first guy pulls in the drive. As I write this their using a concrete saw to cut the joints in the slabs.

November 10
MORNING
Fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. Col. 1:10
I beseech you…. brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Rom. 12:1, 2
As ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. In Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy. Gal. 6:15, 16
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8
I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 15:16
EVENING
I sought him, but I found him not. Song 3:1
Return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously. Hos. 14:1, 2
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God. But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. James 1:13, 14
Do not err, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:16, 17
Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psa. 27:14
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. Lam. 3:26
Shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? Luke 18:7
Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. Psa. 62:1, 5

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. – 1 John 4:18
Asaph, the writer of Psalm 73, expressed his frustration and envy of the arrogant and wicked people who enjoyed prosperity and good health as if there was no God until he realized that they would be judged and utterly destroyed for their unbelief (Psalm 73:9-19). It was a solemn realization, but it brought him comfort to know that even in his trials and distresses, God was his rock and salvation.
The apostle John conveys a similar message in today’s verse. The love of God toward you and your love for Him can have a great impact on your outlook on life. In context, John writes about the day of judgment that is to come. All of humanity will either experience eternal life or punishment. As a believer who loves the Lord and receives His love, you no longer fear punishment. The penalty for your sin was satisfied on the cross and taken away. You have a victory that lost souls do not enjoy.
God’s merciful redemption through Christ gives you the boldness to proclaim His love to others. As you share the truth found in Him, you will have peace and power through the Holy Spirit (John 16:33; Acts 1:8). You have confidence, regardless of your circumstances, because “He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
You may approach your day with confidence and in joyful awareness of the presence of the Lord.
Pray for those in this nation who have yet to know God’s perfect love for them – the love they can experience through Him alone that removes all fear.

It’s Friday, Treepers, we can raise our empty hands to Him. Blessed be your day.
I’ve got A LOT going on right now and I do have a message from Frank about Baby Jackson. I need to listen to it again because it was late when I got it and I couldn’t listen to it all. I’ll post later when I can more intelligently.
For now, I can lay this here and my prayers at Jesus’s Feet at the Cross.
I am praying for you all hard. “Even though I don’t know what Your Plan is, I’ve seen You raise beauty from the ashes.”
I will always SING
Okay – I was able to watch the message Frank sent me regarding Baby Jackson. He sent me a video of him and a note that the stem cell transplant took 3 hours. The video message was of Jackson’s doctor speaking to the family that this will “boost his stem cell count and hopefully leads to faster engraphment.” Baby Jackson is such a little trooper and just the cutest of the cute.
Jackson’s doctor was discussing the procedure with the family and he is such a mild-mannered gentle soul. He calls Jackson “little man”. We pray blessings over his head, his family, his staff, and all other medical professionals who work God’s miracles every day – may they always be led by His Prompting and may they be richly rewarded with satisfying and encouraging results. Bless them, Father.
We will now wait and see how Jackson responds and we lift our prayers to God in Heaven for that sweet, small boy that God Will grow into a mighty man and a force for good. In Jesus’s Holy and Saving Name, AMEN
AMEN !!! ❤️
They must all be so exhausted, Woo. It sounds as if God’s mercy includes putting a compassionate doctor in Jackson’s life just when he is needed most.
I was thinking on Frank’s last post here where he said he was through reading. He mentioned how upsetting and disturbing it was to read comments by some about abortion, (my words) as if the act was nothing more than an inconvenience which needed not be gotten through…something we all feel the same about.
His passion was palpable and I didn’t understand why, all of a sudden. Unless I’m reading the timeline inaccurately, I think I may now.
Lord, our Great Healer, continue to bless this child and all who love him, and those in charge of the care which, through Your loving mercies, will restore his health. We ask in the name Your beloved Son Who was once a child Himself. Amen 🙏🏻💕🕊
AMEN !!! ❤️
It is very hard… when we have strong convictions… to sometimes witness others whose walks are less mature than our own.
Frank is a strong man with a strong warrior mind and I will leave his reasons to himself unless he so chooses to come forward to speak out.
Frank’s nature though is that all should come to a knowing, loving, and saving salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
For God so loved the world that He Gave His only Begotten Son, so that none should perish but would have everlasting life. John 3:16
Certainly, we would like those still coming to terms with the acceptance of Truth to do so post haste! We can only warn for so long.
Love to you all.
Oh believe me, dear friend, I understood him completely. His emotions are mine…and yours…and everyone here who values life which God has seen fit to give as a precious gift. I can’t imagine a mind which views it as disposable, an inconvenience, something of no worth. And when one is so desperate to keep a baby which the Good Lord has given to them who they love, to see what we all see is unendurable.
I thought at the time that something was going on that caused him to post what he did…and I think it was Jackson and his struggles, precious little boy who doesn’t understand but who has suffered, which was the catalyst for what he said. I’d be willing it was a part of it at least.
Frank knows that it was a post years ago of his which caused me to posit my first long post here. I shall never forget his describing his coming to know Christ as his Saviour and the mercies of Almighty God Himself and how it changed his life. Powerful testimony and the longest.post he ever placed here.
“But God…”, he said…
Solomon was a part of that conversation as well. And it was that conversation which made me realize how much these branches would come to mean for me.
I miss them both very much.
I wish I had been around to see that post, Betsy.
I would like to hear his testimony. Many one day he and I will get the chance to talk further and he can tell me his full story.
It was so moving, sis. Honest and thoughtful. 💕

“Jackson’s new bone marrow is in. Thank you Jesus there were times when transplant felt so far away.
Jackson responded well to the infusion. He got a small rash and his blood pressure spiked near the end. All of which were easily managed with some medications.
What lies ahead will be the most challenging part of this whole journey. We will be staying in the hospital for at least 4-6 more weeks while we are on high alert watching for side effects such as mucositis, rejection, GVHD, organ toxicity and infection. Some of which we are almost certain will happen, and we have plans in place. Others that we just need to pray will not surface.
Big thank you to the family, friends and even strangers who have supported us, prayed and helped us get to this point.”
Had a bone marrow transplant in 10/1999. (~ 24 years ago)
My brother matched me 6/6 and we had the same blood type.
So, my blood cells have the Y chromosome
That is so exciting to hear, Donna. The miracles of modern medicine and God’s Provision. Glad to see you hear, Sis. Blessings on you.
Sorry the typo “here”… I is a tired one

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.
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
RESCUE ME
Angel of the Lord stay with me tonight
Help me to endure till the morning light
When the soldiers arrive to help me flee
Thru the maze of the tunnels and be free
Rescue me from this horrific plight
From the daily pain help me take flight
Take all of the babies heaven bound
No more suffering the terror sound
Let silence bring peace from abuse
And nightmares cease to induce
Memories of frightful occurrences
Bring forth the mighty deterrences
Sweet Jesus come and comfort me
Let nothing that hurts come to be
Let no one touch me unnecessarily
Bring forth the soldiers militarily
Let this be the last horror I see
Come quickly Lord and rescue me
Get me out of the oppressors way
Guide me out of the tunnels today
Take me to freedom into the light
Take me far from the oppressors sight
Bring me into the open arms of love
Follow the Angels sent from above
Thank You for ending my agony
Thank You for setting me free
Thank You for so caring be
Thank You for rescuing me!

Good morning, dear sis 💕
We found this poignant story while we were catching up with news from our beloved Wales.
In Landican Cemetery in Woodchurch, Wirral, England, the town where Chris was born, bereaved parents will unveil a memorial to their precious babies they have lost. They have fund raised to make this a reality, and given that the area is not a rich one, their efforts have been a labour of love.
Here is the inscription…
“We will remember the babies born sleeping, those we carried but never held, those we held but could not take home, those who came home but could not stay.”
~Unknown~
There will be many still broken hearts at the dedication today. I pray that the Holy Spirit, no doubt in the midst of them, will deliver peace to those hearts and assurances that their children are safe now on the arms of our Saviour Christ Jesus Who bid all little ones come to Him 🙏🏻
Beautiful and Comforting, Bet !!! ❤️🧚🏻♀️❤️
God’s Little Angels !!!
Know well how they will be feeling, duchess. God bless them. Hopeful and beautiful💔😘
It’s a beautiful idea. A special place for these precious lost lives. It might even wake a few people up.
If only…
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
BE WITH ME, JESUS
Be with me – take not – Your presence from me;
Let Your Spirit dwell – in me – let Him be;
My strength and solace – in turmoil of heart;
From me, Oh Lord – let Him never depart!
Without You, Lord – there is no breath of life;
Without You, Lord – the sorrow – it is rife;
Happiness eludes me – from my soul – it is gone;
Your peace in me – is vacant – totally withdrawn!
Hide not Your face from me – show me Your love;
Touch my heart with Your grace – sent from above;
Abandon me not – in my hour of need;
In Your great love, Lord – I am blessed indeed!
Fill me with your Spirit – right to the brim;
Let not hopelessness enter – faith be dim
Renew me – redo me – all over again;
Today – tomorrow – forever – Amen!
Infuse me – use me – for Your Glory, Lord;
Let me not forget – the truth in Your Word;
Raise me up, Lord – both steadfast and strong;
Be with me, Lord – where You only belong!
Strengthen me – Lord – oh, please hear my cry;
I don’t need to know the what, where or why;
I trust in Your judgment – Your mercy, Lord;
I trust in the truth revealed in Your Word!
I trust in Your Love poured out on the Tree;
I trust in Your Promise to always be;
Faithful and true for eyes that can see;
There for us all – who trust in Thee!
Be with me – Lord – refresh me – renew me;
This pain and discomfort – really threw me;
Jesus, come quickly – come quickly, I pray;
Let this doubt not take hold – unravel – fray!
Oh, precious, incorruptible Blood of the Lamb;
Encompass me – protect me – the sinner I am;
Enthrall me – befall me – change me within;
Blot my sin – from Thy sight – let it begin!
Wherein and where out – let the demon flee;
Far away – to the dry place – let it be;
Confined in the spaces – to do no harm;
To cause no distress – disruption – alarm!
Wash me – and cleanse me – pure white as snow;
Be near me – cheer me – wherever I go;
Lift my distress – give me some rest – I pray;
Be with me, Jesus – and love me Your Way!

Just because they store messages in a way owners can’t access doesn’t mean it’s a privacy violation, US court ruleshttps://www.theregister.com/design_picker/d518b499f8a6e2c65d4d8c49aca8299d54b03012/graphics/icon/vulture_red.svg Brandon Vigliarolo
Thu 9 Nov 2023 // 16:05 UTC
In response to five class-action lawsuits, a Washington appeals court has decided that Honda and several other automakers did nothing wrong by storing text messages and call records from connected smartphones.
Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen, and General Motors were all facing charges in separate but related class-action suits that all claimed they violated Washington state privacy laws. The cases were all dismissed in court earlier this year, and the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit decided [PDF] this week they weren’t going to reopen the cases to further litigation.
The Circuit judges hearing the case lumped all of them together because “the factual background and legal issues are virtually identical,” and dismissed the appeal not because the automakers hadn’t done anything wrong, but rather because the claims didn’t meet the Washington Privacy Act’s (WPA) statutory injury requirements.
“To succeed at the pleading stage of a WPA claim, a plaintiff must allege an injury to ‘his or her business, his or her person, or his or her reputation,'” the judges ruled. “Contrary to Plaintiffs’ argument, a bare violation of the WPA is insufficient to satisfy the statutory injury requirement.”
In other words, it’s A-OK for your car to “automatically and without authorization, instantaneously intercept, record, download, store, and [be] capable of transmitting” text messages and call logs since the privacy violation is potential, but the injury not necessarily actual.

No, dragonfly, I haven’t posted that. I was going to but then got sidetracked on another issue on the Presidential Thread about Britain.
But I did see it this morning (courtesy of the wonderful Morning Report on Ace of Spades hq). So much for any privacy at all. Not that there is any to start with with phone or computer or with these “Smart” devices everywhere (of which we have none). I’m glad you left the link. Orwell must be turning in his grave.
You do not annoy me, my friend. So please do not stop posting whatever you see!! That’s how brilliant conversations start which are the lifeblood of this wonderful site.
All blessings to you 🤗

“The science is settled” chickens are coming home to roost now.
It was declared a FACT by “scientists” that low lying island and atolls would sink beneath the waves as Human caused climate change caused sea levels to rise.
Fact is though it has become obvious now that they did not know what they were talking about. Coral atolls actually grow as sea levels rise because the coral grows with the rise.

BTW Kiribati includes the Gilbert Islands group which is where Tarawa is. The invasion of Tarawa saw some of the most concentrated fury when the US Marines invaded. There were actually more casualties per square meter at Tarawa than occurred during the more famous invasion of Iwo Jima.
Armchair quarterbacking the “Island Hopping” campaign……
Why didn’t they just isolate/blockade more than those big garrisoned islands with a combination of sea and air power? Hit only the ones required for airstrips/harbors to carry the fight to the home islands of Japan?
I’ve never researched this topic and I’m not a military historian.
At the time of the assault on Tarawa they were still fighting down in the Solomons to isolate Rabaul. The Naval forces were growing. The US had 8 fleet carriers in the Pacific by that time but still not enough to do everything they wanted. Besides, Tarawa was a learning experience. They never expected it would be so tough to take and lots of hard lessons were learned in doing it.
Besides, Tarawa was the kick off of the Central Pacific campaign. They couldn’t leave it in the rear with its airfield. And King and Nimitz, having sold the Central Pacific campaign, now had to show results or the balance of power and thus the assets might swing back to MacArthur in the SW Pacific.
Iwo Jima was needed for the B-29s flying out of the Marshalls. It lies right in line with the flight path of the bombers going to and from their targets in Japan From Guam, Tinian, and Saipan.
Taking Iwo not only denied the Japanese an airbase where fighters could be flown from to attack the B-29s, but one, in US possession from which P-51 Mustangs could provide fighter escort for the big bombers. And it also served as an emergency landing field for the the big bombers that could not make it all the way back.
The P-51s also flew fighter sweeps against Japan. A B-29 would act as the shepard, navigating a flock of the fighters to a point off the coast of Japan, and then the fighters would go in on a low level sweep and return to follow the bomber back to Iwo.
In the end, Iwo saved more American lives than it cost to take it.
The battle of Okinawa and the Battle of the Bulge were to two largest battles the US forces were involved in during WW II. Okinawa was essential as a base of operations for the planned invasions of the Japanese home islands.
By the time of the battle for Okinawa the people in the US were getting war weary. They wanted their boys home ASAP. With the surrender of Germany some war production was already being cut back in anticipation of conversion back to a peace time economy. There were more cases of self inflicted wounds among US troops during the Okinawa campaign than all the other previous battles in the Pacific combined! So obviously even the moral of the troops was beginning to wane.
Thanks rah.
Welcome. There is more to it than written but though logistics is how wars are won and is every bit as important as the tip of the spear, discussing supply tails is not exactly exciting stuff.
WATCH: Broadway stars sing ‘Bring Him Home’ in tribute to Gaza hostages
IDF soldiers pray in ancient 6th century Gaza synagogue for first time in decades A number of posts suggest that soldiers prayed at the ancient synagogue, though IDF rules have reportedly kept soldiers from sharing them for safety.
https://www.jpost.com/judaism/article-772218
One of the hottest trending Google searches in Hebrew on Wednesday in Israel was “Gaza ancient synagogue.” The reason was that Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldiers prayed there. It was the first time in close to two decades that a Jew was allowed to worship at this holy site.
Michael Freund, founder of Shavei Israel and a Jerusalem Post columnist, posted on X (formerly Twitter): “For the first time in decades, Israeli soldiers prayed in the ancient synagogue in Gaza, which was built in the 6th century and where a beautiful mosaic floor depicting King David was unearthed years ago. Jews have returned to Gaza!!”
A number of posts suggest that soldiers prayed at the ancient synagogue, yet no photos were shared on social media, due to the fact that there are very strict instructions on documentation during combat.
Highly, HIGHLY recommend this podcast. Give it a listen:

Tens of thousands of the uninvolved left the Shifa hospital. Almost everyone left. Many of the staff are Hamas. IDF is also suspecting that some patients are also planted Hamas. This hospital is the key to the operation probably. There is another hospital also of the same situation but not so big.
David…when you post your updates later…can you speak to the size of the big hospital….as to how many “beds” it has for inpatients? I am curious–am an old nurse…still working…
….here they can vary from maybe 100 to some with 400 or more depending on affiliations with universities or huge hospital-health care systems…I would think the hospital itself is riddled with its own basements and sub-basements with long hall ways for infrastructure etc….
Thank you, God Bless and be safe.
OK … let’s keep the WAR going. No cease fire here.
