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 †

Safe in the arms of out Lord…
Moghrey Mie Ya’ll 🙂
Morning, Mr jay 💕 You won’t mind I’m sure if I take a plate to this gentleman whom I saw sitting by himself on another snow free bench? I’ll be right back for a cup of your hot coffee…
(I asked him what was in his cup…Covfefe, he said…
I answered him…😎👍🏻🙏🏻)
So… that’s what it means “Covfefe”
Thank you, Bets.
What a beautiful picture that is! It does feel peaceful just to look at it.
Immediately, Donna 😌🕊💕
Maidin Mhaith Betsy I saw he was down there on my way up the mountain told him to wait there and I could give him something to laugh about 😂😂
🤗 👍🏻 😁 You go, sir!!!!!
Mornin’ jay 🙂

Morning, monti💕 Mondays come around awfully fast, don’t they?
Good afternoon Betsy,
Worked the day away, almost time to nap, get up and do it again
Bora da, Cariad 💕 🤗
Morning jay! Eggs and bacon, mmm. Will skip the taters. 😁
Morning, dear bro 😘 And here was I preparing this yummy breakfast for everyone… just scoot the taters to the side 😉😊
Mmmmmm … sausage hash!
Looks good right??
I’m sad to say my eggs NEVER look so pretty. My greatest culinary shame … as my favorite Jacque Pepin says … that egg cooking skill is the basic threshold over which good chefs must step. 🫤
Howdy Gramps I put onion and garlic in the taters 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Thanks, Jay❣️
-(burp)
So thoughtful and delicious!
-excuse me
Morning Patience! ❤️
Hello there, Pa❣️
-Be careful round that vent
Morning, Patience and Ma 🕊💕🕊
You know that in some cultures a burp is a compliment to the cook.
My mother would have slapped me 😉😂
Hi, Besty💖
Born in the wrong place… and four bros was not an excuse; so, Ma did ( ouch)!
😂
My pleasure Patience 🇺🇸🤗🇺🇸
😜😎
✝️❤️🇺🇸
Frogs?
Pigs
😂
Excellent choices today… taken directly from the way back machine
🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Morning, benzy 🤗
Good morning Bet! Had a very busy weekend and what looks like a busy week ahead. Big part is Tuesday and Wednesday will be spent in San Antonio. Have continuing education and I am trying to round up the critter evictor. The coons have tore a big hole where a vent was in the attic and have moved in. So first some mountain lion pee and flashing are in order, then repairs. Ugh.
❤️😘
Oh golly!!! We’ve just gotten rid of (BIG UGH!!!!) smaller intruders. The young man who finished that job regaled us with stories of doing the same as you elsewhere. Not easy. Mama and babies…
Good luck, G. Mind how you go on those ladders!!!!!!
(I left you a breakfast-y repast above…or a brunch…or a breakfast for dinner if you prefer, which is what I’d choose 😎💕
Afternoon snack sounds really good. thank you, Bet! got a hold of the coon guy. Meeting him tomorrow at two. He’ll probably spray the mountain lion pee and wait for a few days to make sure everyone has left. Then he’ll put a metal flashing over the hole and I’ll be getting bids from a couple of crews that we use on the repairs. <3
GrandpaM,
Good day to you! My friend is a Federal and State-licensed wildlife rehabilitor. She would recommend an Ammonia-soaked rag placed strategically in your attic and other critter habitats where they are unwelcome and they will most assuredly remove themselves for you.
I love watching to see what players do to make the music. And I get frustrated when videos are put together with out of sync clips or when streaming somehow distances the sound from the video.
But it must have been horrible for the Hollies to play their music looking at a crowd that not only couldn’t clap with their music, but couldn’t even clap together.
🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Jay! Way to feature a couple cuts that feature the impossibly adorable, young, Tony Hicks laying down signature guitar AND BANJO licks. Here’s another one. Yes. A sadly underrated and overlooked guitarist …

Huh? Why didn’t the video open up?

Back when I was in a teen band, practically every teen band with an organist had “96 Tears” in its repertoire. It’s a fairly simple arrangement but was hugely popular back then at the Friday & Saturday night teen dances at the local churches and teen centers.
One of those songs that played many times a day on my am radio
Yep. Mine too, when I wasn’t in school or working after school at a local burger chain (Gino Marchetti’s). Here’s a list of the top 100 of 1966 (same year as 96 tears) that I bet anyone who was a teen at that time can remember ALL of these…

And a fun staccato rhythm !

Howdy Garrison 🙂
Howdy jay 🙂
Good morning, Garrison 😘 Just let me grab a cup of Mr jay’s coffee and I’ll be right with you. This one looks to be a good one for the start of a new week closer to spring.
Mornin’ Bet 🙂 Got up a bit late (again!!). Just finished a fresh cup of Bustelo. All is good. For now, anyway. The Siccas Guitar guys are once again doing my work for me. Christina is a fine player, isn’t she?
Oh yes she is!! There are so many talented young ladies out there with their guitars. An absolute delight to listen to them. I also like to watch their body language as they play. They really feel the music. It just shows.
Morning Garrison!
Afternoon, Gramps 🙂
Thinking of you; as always, my man Garrison💖💖💖
Always good to hear from you, dear Patience. Be well, love. 🙂
I enjoyed her rendition of Danza del Molinero (1st cut) BUT…..was totally mesmerized at her playing of Paganini’s “El Carnaval de Venecia” (2nd cut).
PS – If anyone doesn’t want to listen to the entire concert (you’re missing out, but time may be pressing), I implore going to the 2nd cut (@3:40) and watch / listen (volume up!)
Thanks Garrison – you picked another unusually great one again!
🙂

Well done.
Comparing Scripture with Scripture never gets old for me. It’s just me that’s getting old.
If I had two cents to add, I’d point out that 1 John 5:7 “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” is appropriate to the post.(unless I missed it)
I thank God for the self-evident truths that ‘We the People’ have been “endowed by their Creator…”(you know, the thing)
I know the Creator is Jesus and that “all things were created by him, and for him:” Col 1:16, just as I know that the Spirit of America is the Spirit of God.
I know a couple other things after 63 years here, but I also know that I’ve probably forgotten more things than a lot of folks have even known about(especially those blasted things called automobiles).
Best to all.
Trust God. Fear not.
P.S.
Ya’ll just wait til I can get access to my computer and/or my email. Then I can really give ’em the what for. Until that time I’ll continue to ‘do the best I can, with what I got'(thanks Dad)
“I know the Creator is Jesus and that “all things were created by him, and for him:” Col 1:16”
This is why I sometimes miss the classroom and the red pencil: for when they *completely* miss the point🤷♂️ 🙂

Peggy Lee –
It’s A Good Day
Hmmm … sounds somewhat familiar …
Huh! I never heard the two tunes back-to-back. They DO sound like the same melody with some minor variations.
Interesting ‘find’, Kenji.
And I’ve heard “Accentuate the Positive” played at a much faster tempo … then there are a couple of musical passages that sound really, really, similar.
Having said that … I 🩷 Peggy Lee’s voice! It’s like buttah
Agree, agree, agree. She was cute too, in that old movie. 😎

Sickening claims against UN aid agency REVEALED: Israel accuses UNRWA staff participating in Hamas kibbutz massacre that killed 97, kidnapping a woman into Gaza and supplying RPGs for October 7 terror attacks
Members of the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees are alleged to have committed heinous acts against Israelis during the Hamas October 7 terror attacks as the US and several other nations cut funding.
The damning accusations say the UNRWA employees did everything from a school counselor who allegedly helped kidnapp a woman, others who gave out ammunition and rocket-propelled grenades and another that supposedly took part in a kibbutz slaughter that killed 97 people
The allegations come from dossier given to the United States by Israeli intelligence which American officials called ‘credible enough’ to justify defunding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.
Israel vowed on Saturday to ban the UN aid agency from operating in Gaza after the war ends. Bosses have begged the West to restore funding following the sacking of staff accused of involvement in the October 7 attack .
The United Nations is no damn good. Another useless money laundering operation for U.S. tax dollars to enable corruption at every level.
Israel Update :
-Israeli Defense Minister in a talk with IDF fighters: “While the terrorists who enjoy fancy hotels and private airplanes stiffen negotiation position – Terrorists in Khan Yunis surrender above and below ground and are giving us sensitive information about Hamas. This war can’t be stopped at some points, only a knockout. If we want to live here we must eliminate the Hamas. Every terrorist in a range of hundreds of kilometers around should know that against such an action that they did there will be only one result- the elimination of the military and governing capabilities of Hamas”.
In a talk with Reservists’ brigade who finished their duty for now, he said:
“I followed the activity of your Brigade all along the stages of the battles on the west side of Sajaiah, the the camps of central Gaza and other location. Because of what you did and doing we are in a negotiation process to bring release of hostages… everyone who is on the ground knows very well what is happening – hundreds of terrorist are surrendering, thousands are killed, we are demolishing their weapon storages… it’s not obvious, it’s because of you and your friends.”
-Bibi in a press conference. Appeared very determined to get all the goals of the war attained and no stop. Mentioned that the leadership of Hamas will all die or imprisoned. Seemed strong and “slapped the nasty reporters when they misbehaved”. Note: A Trump style press conference with scolding them when they spread Fake news etc…
-Every day I am reading about tens of terrorist killed and some days hundreds killed (not only terrorists). Khan Yunis (South Gaza) is the hot area. The IDF pulled out two Brigades from Khan Yunis, one is Paratroopers ( to refresh and prepare for a possible was at the north border). Deploying another Brigade instead. There is circulation every 60 days or so with most of the reservists.
-3 US soldiers killed and at least 25 injured in a pro Iran militia attack on a base in Jordan on the Syrian border. Attack from Syria. Biden said it was the first US dead soldiers in the Middle East since the war began. It was drones attack. Biden said there will be a response.
-Nancy Pelosi called to investigate some of the “stop the war” demonstrations. Suspecting Russian connection to it. Calling the FBI to check their financing.
– PLO terror organization lost a top Battalion commander in Gaza. Yes, PLO is there too and also was involved in 10/7.
-In the press conference Bibi appeared furious about The Hague court and said they (the War Cabinet) will decide things about it shortly. While they declined the request to demand a ceasefire they demand regular reports of things like humanitarian aide and protection of civilians and they ask that Israel prosecute those who call for genocide. The fact that they even decide to continue this injustice is infuriating to many in Israel. This case will last years. Some see the results as the least bad and some see it as bad but everyone know that the case shouldn’t even happen at all.
-A meeting of Chief of Mossad with Head of CIA and Egyptians and Qatar people. Trying to release hostages. Israelis say that Hamas is too stiff with their demands. US sources on the other hand suggest that it can happen. Apparently from US media they are talking about two month stop of war for 100 hostages. Hamas want a complete withdraw.
Note: I doubt that there are even 100 alive and also 2 months of no war will enable them to make the place into a real death trap. Israel will only be able to win such a war with the Russian way that they did in Syria way back- IE complete flattening all the buildings.
From knowing Israel mentality if we can get all the hostages back (which is one of the goals of the war) we will do it. But no withdraw of forces. As long as the road to continue is open we can do it. But Hamas will not give all the hostages if Israel can continue. They need them as a life insurance. My guess is that Israel is offering the leadership a way out of Gaza in exchange to hostages. It is necessary to tighten the noose over their necks on the ground. There is slow progress. A later report: The Office of the Prime Minister said that it was a positive meeting but there are still significant differences so other negotiations will follow.
-More back and forth in the north of Israel with Hezbollah. Their death toll grows slowly.
-I see videos of fierce battles in Khan Yunis. Door to door. We kill many of them but we do get some casualties too. Overall the IDF have some major advantages and one is that they can circulate and bring in fresh forces while the other side is shrinking and in awful conditions.
The IDF is also gaining valuable experience that will make it much stronger in a war with Hezbollah. Also I saw a video of paratroopers use a small drone indoors. Which is very good. It reduces casualties a lot. No major situation with casualties. It’s very dripping in quantities m much better than before. The main struggle is with tunnels. While we are making progress. There are hundreds of miles. Possibly 300 miles so some reports are saying that only 20-40% was handled. The presence of hostages complicates it and is beyond what was expected and trained for. So patience is the key. It will happen but not fast. Can take many months.
-The White House declines that there is a change in US policy regarding munitions. The earlier report about the “consideration to restrict munition” was from NBC.
Note: I doubt that the NBC was invented. Could have been a way to make Israel realize that the munitions is not a fact if we don’t “cooperate”.
-Some families of fallen and others appeared in demonstrations at the border to Gaza where humanitarian aide passes and reduced the flow of aide for a few days. They oppose aide so long as the hostages are not returned. The US freaks out about it. Then the IDF closes the area to civilians and declare it a “military zone”. The flow is restored as far as I know.
-The Hoothies continue to attack ships. A couple of days ago a Russian ship. Today a British Navy ship intercepted a drone.
-NY Times reported that Hamas got their weapons for the 10/7 attack and in general through 12 tunnels that cross from Gaza to Egypt. And from stealing from the IDF.
Note: From what I observed the Hamas had massive factories to produce missiles and rockets. We did catch weapons from Russia, Syria, Afghanistan, North Korea etc… in the 10/7 day. So it’s obviously came in through Egypt or some by sea. The idea that they had enough stolen weapons from the IDF is not likely in quantities that make a real difference.
But it is known that there were incidents of theft from IDF bases in vicinity to Arab towns, mainly in the south of Israel which has a large Bedouin population (nomad Muslim tribes).
-The following joined the funds suspension to UNRWA: USA, France, UK , Canada, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Netherlands Australia, Japan.
Note: My evaluation is that Israel was resisting UNRWA as a force in the “Day After” and provided evidence. The Biden’s Administration is likely to pretend that they “achieved some sort of an Ethics and reform action in UNRWA”. Just like they want to “Reform” the Palestinian Authority. That way they can keep their plan going. Israel should keep this freeze going by providing many new evidences. I am sure that with the thousands or hundreds of prisoners that we took from Gaza we have a lot of information on the subject. But how can you reform such a body? You can’t. It’s too many people who are in the wrong side.
I just saw a new report. Israel provided details to the US ambassador in Israel and it reached the NY Times: The names of 12 UNRWA employees were provided. 10 are also members of Hamas, One was Islamic Jihad, Six were located inside Israel on the 10/7 according to their phone (Israel accessed their phones). Other evidences are through listening to their phone conversations. Three got text messages on 10/7 telling them to report to a meeting location, one of them was told to bring anti tank missiles that he had at home, one UNRWA man with his son kidnapped a woman. Another one distributed weapons, the third took active part in Kibutz Beeri (the worst location of massacre). seven of them also worked as Math and Arabic teachers in UNRWA schools, another one was also a social worker, one worked in an office. The who was a consultant in a school in Khan Yunis with his son kidnapped a woman, one the social worker helped kidnap a body of an Israeli soldier. One coordinated Hamas traffic inside Israel and distributed munitions. Additionally Israel has evidence of Hamas using clinics, schools, and UNRWA equipment for terror. Plenty of evidence of UNRWA teachers cheering and celebrating on 10/7. The Head of the UN said that 9 were fired, 1 is dead and 2 are unknown. UNRWA’s chief said that “the freeze on the funds is horrifying.”
Over 90% of the funds of UNRWA come from the nations who stopped the funds. The US gave UNRWA 344 millions in 2022. Germany gave 202 millions in 2022, European Union 114 millions. Israel has been pressing for years to close UNRWA. Trump did stop funds to UNRWA and Biden renewed it despite Israeli claims for incitement in their study books, employment of people who are members in terror organizations and perpetuating the refugee issue. Note: In my opinion if all those billions of dollars were not flowing to UNRWA then Hamas would have been forced to invest their own money in education and other civil services rather in building a terror army. Biden is to blame and the others who joined the financing. I hope that Israel will be diligent about it now. IF we know about 12 you can imagine that this is only the tip of the iceberg. This also shows me that Israel is very advanced in putting together the kill lists. All the involved will be killed just like after the Munich Olympic terror attack.
-Saudi and Egyptian leadership figures met and call for a ceasefire. Note: Arabs want to save Hamas. That’s all it is aside from Egypt who loses a lot of money in the shipping industry at the Suetz Passage by the Red Sea. They have interest to end the war in any possible way. There are secret negotiations with Egypt about the Philadelphi Corridor between Gaza and Egypt. At some point Israel will have to control this border since the Egyptians permitted it to be a supply line to Gaza by tunnels. The Egyptians are pushing back and threaten the relationship with them.
Note: Israel will not give up on securing this border. No way that we mess with the goals of the war. It must happen to obtain the goals of the war. But they do succeed to delay us which is not good. There may be other ways to access the tunnels in the area without conquering the corridor.
-Massive IDF drill at the North. Simulating a maneuver into Lebanon.
Rumors in the Arab world about an imminent IDF invasion to Lebanon.
Some reports inside Israel of mobilization of forces to the North.
Note: Those are all very remote rumors. I wouldn’t take it as fact. But I guess that the existence of the rumors is the news. It communicates the increase in tension.
Shalom and God bless you!
David, Thank you for your update. Israel’s stamina continues to amaze me. Again, I apologize for the unwillingness of Biden and his fools to fully back Israel, send promised and funded munitions.
Every day here is a fight with Obama/Biden to release their hold on our January 6 prisioners, President Trump and the many court cases he is fighting, Nikki’s inability to lose honorably. What a mess.
God Bless Israel, Bibi and yourself.
Jeff
❤️
As I said in my report, Reservists of the Paratroopers are back and others are replacing them.
Praying for their safety and successes. And yours, too David…
❤️
I so appreciate and share the love for your military. I’m sorry that our world needs to have them on active duty, but the world is a safer place with their steadfastness and resolve.
Blessings, David.
❤️

Sooooooo much good stuff from Willie Dixon!
Thanks for the heads up since it did not say songwriter I never looked.
<356+ works currently held by ASCAP / BMI>
I’m guessing he lived well off just the Doors release of this tune.
Wow, just a quick browse of page one …. lots of big names recorded his stuff.
Clapton, Ce Lo, Led Zep, Stones, can I get adopted by a survivor of his.
Here, give this a try:
That’s just fun.
If I recall correctly, Muddy Waters recorded a LOT of Willie Dixon’s stuff.
One story I recall, right or wrong, is that there was a song Dixon wanted Waters to record, and when Waters was reluctant, Dixon said he would give it to Howlin’ Wolf.
Waters recorded it, and it was a hit.
Another “if I recall correctly” is that Waters couldn’t read and write, and Dixon helped steer his career.
Blues would sound different without the impact of Willie Dixon!
What a beautiful duet.
Yeah … Hilton was responsible for the massively popular Animals sound. Which is even sweeter on a Rick.
CCR for the win !!!
As I mentioned in my report, many Hamas terrorists are surrendering and giving out sensitive information about Hamas. They may lead to their leadership. But many of us would rather to see those white clothes used for their bodies.

The shoulder pats and keeping the little close….let’s hope the little one remembers this all of his life….there is a special place in heaven for this soldier….
It’s hard to tell. Sinwar the leader of Hamas had his life saved in an Israeli hospital. Tumor removed from his brain.
I know of child who was taken to an Israeli hospital and was treated like a king with all the Israelis making him a celebrity and volunteers taking him back to Gaza. He became a terrorist later on. It is discouraging . We must control their education. Brainwash is a powerful tool.
On the other hand I know of a child who was given a candy from an Israeli soldier in Gaza long ago, he was punished by his parents for being friendly. He had a complete transformation and liked jews. He was tortured for it. He managed to escape and became Jewish and appears on Israeli TV explaining the Hamas’s mentality of hate and genocide. So this is a positive example. We must seek to transform those people in the long run. But like the Nazis they have to be defeated first of all.
Wicked has no conscience. Hitler’s mother had a Jewish Nurse for long years.
Michael: I agree that wicked has no conscience.
I’d never heard about a Jewish nurse caring for Hitler’s Mother.
I haven’t come up with info on that but I did see a Jewish doctor in this interesting article:
https://www.biography.com/history-culture/who-was-hitlers-mother
True.
Israel Update:
After the attack yesterday on the US base in Jordan that killed 3 Americans and injured some 24 there is a very intense tension in the area.
A US Military Official said that “the response will be strong and swift” and it is not going to be on Iran’s proxies but on the Revolutionary Guard of Iran. The commander of the Iranian Quds Elite force of the Revolutionary Guards went to Iraq Baghdad to talk with Militia Leaders. Reports on increased US flights over the area.
The Revolutionary Guard force is the force that spreads Iranian influence outside of Iran and trains and arms all the Proxies.
Note: From my understanding of Iran they will not react to a measured US attack even if it’s on them directly. I don’t predict a massive war. But I could be wrong too. I hear some talk about a World War 3. I don’t think so. Even a full war with Iran is not a World War.

Beautiful words of Jesus, Donna!
Have often heard that God’s kingdom is an “upside-down” one;
for instance:
* the “least” will become the greatest.
* the “poor” will become rich.
* the “weak” will become strong.
* we have to “empty” ourself to become full.
* and, we have to “lose” our life to gain one.
Have you heard of other comparables?
Oh, the inscrutable ways of God!
🙏🏻🥰
The Lord God clearly warned us.
So, why are we stunned when we see His Words come true!
Troubles are escalating everywhere – with no end in sight.
But God is not worried or confused.
He’s on His Throne – in complete, merciful control …
… extending to everyone a shelter from the storm – thru Jesus Christ, His Righteous Son.
God waits for us to accept His refuge.
Only then, can we receive the peace Jesus died for us to have.
Peace is not the absence of conflict – rather, it’s the Presence of a Person: Christ the Lord!
Thanks be to God for His goodness to us …
(Jesus)
“I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation.
But take courage; I have overcome the world!”

Good morning all. Going to get two humidifiers today. Ideal range is 40-60%. We run in the 30s when not wet outside using gas heat and drop to the 20s when we burn wood in the insert.
I know what the humidity in our home is at all times because of my personal weather station has an inside unit.
The Grunts Prayer
Oh Lord, thank you for granting me another day to stand up against the tyranny in the world today, blessing me with the will, strength and fortitude to continue walking, digging and fighting all over this once blessed United States of America. Please continue to help me carry this rucksack and weapon by walking beside me and lending your loving hand apon this yoke I proudly wear. Please bless me with a full ammo pouch and full canteen, one for the enemy around me the other for the enemy above, so that I may prevail against one and endure the other. Please bless me with the light of the moon and stars when I need them and clouds and rain when I desire cover from my enemies eyes. Please ensure my aim is true, that my creedo “One Shot, One Kill” is fullfilled, that my enemy does not suffer and their end is swift and complete. Please Lord, protect me from short rounds and friendly fire from my allies, so that I might continue to honor my oath to the Constitution of the United States of America. Last of all Lord please forgive me for what I must do, I only wished to be left alone, bask in the glory of your word and behold this beautiful world that you created for us but alas Evil has risen and I am compelled to smite it in your name.
Amen 🙏🏻
BUT IT IS HARDLY CREDIBLE THAT ONE COULD BE SO POSITIVELY IGNORANT!
“Who art Thou, Lord?” Acts xxvi. 15
“The Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand.” There is no escape when Our Lord speaks, He always comes with an arrestment of the understanding. Has the voice of God come to you directly? If it has, you cannot mistake the intimate insistence with which it has spoken to you in the language you know best, not through your ears, but through your circumstances.
God has to destroy our determined confidence in our own convictions. “I know this is what I should do” – and suddenly the voice of God speaks in a way that overwhelms us by revealing the depths of our ignorance. We have shown our ignorance of Him in the very way we determined to serve Him. We serve Jesus in a spirit that is not His, we hurt Him by our advocacy for Him, we push His claims in the spirit of the devil. Our words sound all right, but our spirit is that of an enemy. “He rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.” The spirit of our Lord in an advocate of His is described in 1 Corinthians xiii.
Have I been persecuting Jesus by a zealous determination to serve Him in my own way? If I feel I have done my duty and yet have hurt Him in doing it, I may be sure it was not my duty, because it has not fostered the meek and quiet spirit, but the spirit of self-satisfaction. We imagine that whatever is unpleasant is our duty! Is that anything like the spirit of our Lord – “I DELIGHT to do Thy will, O My God.”

So true…
(OC): God can speak in the language you know best, not through your ears, but through your circumstances.

Sometimes it’s hard to understand what the Lord is doing, but He will guide and teach, if we listen.
And His sheep know His voice and follow Him.

Good morning, everyone!! Attention to detail is important in Bonsai. Notice the arrangement of limbs so that the trunk is paramount. Also, that the tree is placed ever so slightly off-center of the pot to balance the whole image.
Oops. “Off-center” does not apply to this tree. Sorry.
Still a beautiful bonsai.
It seems off center and balanced…..to me , but what do I know about bonsai
The trunk of the tree curves away from the off centered right branch.
This seems to balance the bonsai.
and look at the little flowers on the bottom middle branch 🍃
Symmetry is the hobgoblin of simple minds …
lifted from Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quotation:
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines
Never more applicable than in today’s political landscape …
Mornin’ all!

Wild storm that slams California this week may cause severe weather I-10 corridor San Antonio to Jacksonville fla this weekend. Euro 48 hour precip totals in that time look alot like streaks of supercells

My weather girl predicted 3-5 inches of rain through Friday, with Wed. being the most intense. Ohhhhhhhhh mommmaaaaaaa the State of CA water bureaucrats are right … CA is in the grips of a neverending drought thanks to all you SINNERS against Gaia who are still driving gasoline powered automobiles. We need to INCREASE $$$ your water bills as penance for having a green lawn!! We need HIGHER gasoline taxes … even HIGHER than the highest in the nation.
Wait! We meant to say your SINS have caused: Sudden, catastrophic, EXTREME weather!! Yeah … you SINNERS have caused “atmospheric rivers” of EXTREME Climate change.
Oh Dear, what can we do? The Global Warmists are dressed in Black sackcloth
The remedy for the enormous stress created by daily watching your society being destroyed by Marxists, sociopathic kleptocrats, perverts, and other assorted Satanists is to cultivate patient endurance and complete trust in the Lord. But this is not so easy.

Verse of the Day for Monday, January 29, 2024
✟
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14 (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.

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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
A HUMBLE MAN DREAMS
As I lay me down to sleep;
I pray my soul – Oh, Lord – You keep;
I ask You keep me humble, Lord;
And ever faithful to Your Word!
With Bible open – I came right upon;
A passage familiar – Oh, Lord – dead on;
It was from John thirteen – Verse thirty-four;
A message from Jesus – I thought for sure!
I wondered why – this book – this verse;
Your concise command – Oh, Lord – it’s terse;
Within Your words – is a gift and a fruit;
Of Your Spirit – to Your Glory – its root!
As I pondered His Word – I drifted off;
Into a deep slumber – like a wave trough;
In the loft window – of a pole barn high;
I saw beyond – the land, sea, and sky!
There were cabins, gardens, and livestock;
There were creeks, streams, and haycock;
Trees, bushes, and hiking paths galore;
Could a fellow with dreams want for more?
Chickens were pecking; goats eating grass;
Fruit trees were blooming – abundant en mass;
The gardens were lush – overflowing with food;
It was like paradise – all of it good!
Only one problem – just one thing missing;
There were no people – no lovers kissing;
I blinked my eyes twice – as if that would help;
Not a peep did I hear – not even a yelp!
I looked to the sky – and asked God right quick;
And the people appeared – lickety-split;
All of a sudden – by the wave of His Hand;
People were rejoicing all over the land!
They were singing, strumming, and praising God;
For the blessings He bestowed on every pod;
They were harvesting, cooking, dancing for joy;
The children were playing – each girl and boy!
How did He know – what lay deep in my heart?
It was just a small farm – where it would start;
Some chickens and goats – and a small garden;
A humble man dreams – please – beg my pardon!
But God always has – something much better;
He triples His Gifts – OBEY – must the getter;
If you’re wondering how – small became large;
You don’t know my God – my God is in charge!

“We are now facing an epochal threat, in the form of a coup d’état perpetrated by the globalist elite. This coup d’état has only recently appeared in full evidence, but the rambling statements of the participants in the Davos Forum that has just ended are the result of a subversive project carried out for decades. A project that is based on lies, blackmail, and corruption.
Lies. All the reasons given by the globalist network to legitimize their action are false, or rather: they are false pretexts that deliberately hide other unmentionable reasons.” …
“The pandemic farce, the crises in Ukraine and Palestine, global warming, and everything that in theory is said to justify the measures taken by governments, the European Union, and the United Nations against us, have the sole purpose of making any opposition impossible, in the name of emergencies that have been pre-planned down to the smallest detail.
Blackmail. In order to achieve the transition of the population to the globalist model in which everything is in the hands of the elite, the architects of the Great Reset act deliberately, step by step.”

“This was classic election fraud. The entire country knew it then and knows it now. The pretenders in the fake news immediately started pushing the notion that Joe Biden, who never held an honest rally the entire election season, had captured 81 million votes. It was the greatest crime in US history.
So what happened? And who made the call to the swing states to quit counting?
We will never know because Chris Wray from the FBI and AG Bill Barr never investigated this criminal act.
Today, we are starting to understand Attorney General Bill Barr‘s role in this historic criminal act.
4. The FBI and DOJ hid the Biden family crimes from the American public despite holding onto Hunter Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” since 2019″

Sorry Detroit.
As predicted … a fantastic, competitive game. But TBH … Brock Purdy just has the “it” factor. Even when the throws aren’t there to make … he used his legs at crucial times. Ironically, earlier in the broadcast … the mental midgets in the booth were mocking Purdy’s “inability to run” … insisting he was ONLY a good scrambler in the pocket. IDIOTS.
I feel sad for Goff and The Lions … because if they had won, I would have tipped my MAGA cap, and said “congratulations”! Hell of a game.
Now … PUHLEEZE Brock ! Put an end to the constant Taylor Swift KC romance “news” stories. Ugggh. 😬
Who or what is a Taylor Swift?
Why would anyone care what an ignorant and untruthful airhead ‘thinks’. The ‘education system’ is producing androids taught not to think, but to serve the New World Order.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/what-heck-new-poll-finds-nearly-fifth-voters/
“The poll conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies for Newsweek found that 18 percent of voters are “more likely” or “significantly more likely” to vote for a candidate with Swift’s approval.
Her influence was even more prominent with respondents under the age of 35.
Newsweek reports the “poll found that an endorsement from Swift would have the greatest impact on younger voters. Roughly 3 in 10 Americans under 35 said they’d be more likely to vote for a candidate backed by Swift. Only 4 percent of Americans 65 and older said they’d be swayed by a Swift endorsement.””
She says about President Trump:
““After stoking the fires of white supremacy and racism your entire presidency, you have the nerve to feign moral superiority before threatening violence?” Swift wrote on May 29, 2020. “‘When the looting starts the shooting starts’??? We will vote you out in November.”
The singer was referring to Trump’s comments during the deadly Black Lives Matter riots of 2020.
‘Wokism’ is the final stages of the mental illness of Liberalism.
