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 †

Morning Patience! ❤️
I believe it was Jay who turned me on to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band … my musical tastes keep broadening with my age.
Figgy puddin 🤪🤪
I can do fig newtons and probably figgy pudding (although I was born in the wrong country and century for that) … but raw figs? 🤢
OMG. Have you truly tasted fresh raw Black Mission figs?
Delicious & sweet. My wife goes ga-ga for that particular variety. I have tried them and they are good. They are *very* seasonal – next to impossible to get out of season (August through early October)….at least here in Maryland.
https://minnetonkaorchards.com/black-mission-fig/
When my father first remarried (to an alcoholic pediatrician … bad combination) we moved into her home that had an old, large, fig tree. I would guess it was a black mission fig tree. I tried those figs -raw … and perhaps not quite ripe … and OMG! Just awful … and literally the aftertaste made my mouth itch.
perhaps I’ll give figs another chance … 58 years later
Oh my, I wonder which came first – dealing with children or the alcoholism (as a result)…
Anyway, what you described doesn’t sound like black mission figs. They only grow in Hardiness Zones 9 and up. I’ve never tasted one that wasn’t ripe so I cannot be certain.
Pics sure look like it … and the SF Bay Area where I live (and where the fig tree was) is Zone 9b.
Ok well then, your eating the fruit before it was ripe must’ve been the cause for the unpleasant taste.
I’ve never yet eaten a bad black fig but OTOH I’ve not tried any unripened ones… 😉
Next time you get an opportunity, try one sold from a store and cool it in the refrigerator before eating it. I like them at room temp. but when they’re cold, they’re a bit more refreshing…
Would you like to have my portion of figs? Enjoy.
O, Jay…………..
Bacon AND figs?
Thank you; from the depths of my salivating tung ❣❣❣❣❣❣
Yeayyy! A taker for my figs
Thanks, Grand-daddy😎.
Howdy Patience they really compliment each other 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Yes they do!
I’m taking your(s) word for it …
Tell you about figs when at the computer. This reload stuff is maddening!
Anyone else remember singing this song in Kindergarten?
Haven’t heard it in decades!
“Little Liza Jane”
Yes, but we sang this when we were a little older.
“I’m a Little Teapot” song was big for 20 years or more in kindergarten. 🫖
How do I know? I learned it in kindergarten. My daughter did too. Later, I sang it when I taught grade K when I was 40. These little darlings thought they taught me the song!
We’re never too old for a pot of tea! ☕
Well I attended kindergarten in a brand new suburban subdivision on the outskirts (now almost inner city) of Sacramento. We didn’t wear coveralls to school … so no … we didn’t sing this. 😜🥰
Kinda fun to see foreigners react to accents and other American stuff.
Pretty sure 99.999999% of Americans would understand these accents. But, anyway……

Dmitri Mendeleev
(1834-1907)
Russian chemist and inventor who devised the periodic table of the elements, dies at 72
Biography: Dmitri Mendeleev was a Russian chemist and inventor who is best known for formulating the Periodic Law and creating a version of the periodic table of elements. This table—which was arranged by atomic weight and presented the elements in a grid where elements in the same column exhibited similar chemical properties—was a significant breakthrough in the history of chemistry.
In his formulation of the Periodic Law, Mendeleev predicted the properties of elements yet to be discovered. He left gaps in his table for these elements, and remarkably, when they were discovered, their properties matched Mendeleev’s predictions. These accurate forecasts lent significant credibility to his work and solidified the acceptance of the periodic table.
Aside from his work on the periodic table, Mendeleev made significant contributions to other areas of chemistry, metrology, and technology. He also made efforts towards improving Russia’s higher education, and he advocated for modernization and industrialization in Russia. The crater Mendeleev on the Moon, as well as element number 101, the radioactive mendelevium, are named after him.

Bertrand Russell
(1872-1970)
English mathematician and philosopher (Nobel 1950), dies at 97
Biography: One of the foremost philosophers of the 20th century, Russell revolted against the idea of British idealism and became a founding father of analytic philosophy. His interests expanded on many subjects and his work influenced mathematics, logic, set theory, linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science and philosophy.
A prominent anti-war activist, Russell was imprisoned during World War I for his pacifism, though concluded that war against Nazi Germany was the ‘lesser of two evils’. In 1950 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
02 February 1996 Gene Kelly, American actor, singer, dancer, and choreographer (An American in Paris; On The Town, Singin’ in the Rain), dies of a stroke at 83
Biography: Gene Kelly transformed the Hollywood musical in the 1950s with his athletic dancing style and modern choreography. The 1952 musical “Singin’ in the Rain” with his famous dance partnering an umbrella around a lamp post is often considered the ‘greatest musical ever made’.
Kelly originally began performing on Broadway before being offered a film contract with MGM in 1942. After serving two years in the US Navy during WWII he returned to MGM as a performer, producer and director. His successful films include “One the Town” (1949) with Frank Sinatra, “An American in Paris” (1951) with director Vincent Minnelli and Leslie Caron, which won eight Academy Awards including Best Picture and a special Oscar for Kelly.
“Singin’ in the Rain” followed along with “Hello Dolly” with Barbra Streisand in 1969. In 1960 Kelly was asked to choreograph a ballet for the Paris Opera and his “Concerto in F” received 27 curtain calls on its premiere. The French government later made Kelly a chevalier of the Legion of Honor.

How they try to deceive us laymen.
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2024/02/01/gavins-plotting-trick-hide-the-incline/
The function of those models is to use the known to as accurately as possible predict the unknown. To me when you get down to it, the most revealing thing is that after decades it appears that the models have not been adjusted to try and correct their bias to possibly produce more accurate projections.
And it appears that they have not even bothered to replace the least accurate members in the ensemble with those that have been proven more accurate over time regardless of their source.
“Hide the Decline” was outright fraud.
The theory was that those trees were a good temperature proxy. (Already disproven by experts in temperature proxies, but when it comes to global warming they can discount all others because they “know more” about everything.)
Using those trees allowed them to get rid of the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warm Period. And any temperature variation at all, so that modern warming could look dangerous and be blamed on man. (This took other tricks, including phony statistics that they made up so that specific trees dominated the calculation.)
But they had evidence that those trees disagreed with modern temperatures. The proxy temperature declined while the real temperature rose.
And they hid the evidence!
And they conducted a secret campaign to deny grants and prevent publications of anybody who would contradict them, even going so far as to get editors fired.
It ain’t science and it never was.
Funny thing … in every Chemistry and Physics lab I ever took … we’d be docked at least a full grade for what was called “dry labbing” the results … i.e. just making up a result that was expected. Now … there’s a whole industry and massive amounts of taxpayer and NGO $$$ flowing into dry labbing

““The one thing that we knew was the information that we have is compelling,” said Illinois congressman-turned CNN commentator Adam Kinzinger. “The thing we needed to do was tell that to the American people in a compelling way.””
And destroy that evidence before our opponents can look at it.
Did the evidence compellingly prove them wrong?
If it compellingly proved them right, they would have released it all and shoved it in our faces.
2/2/2024 – God’s King
Deuteronomy 17:14-20 “When you are come unto the land which the LORD your God gives you, and shall possess it, and shall dwell therein, and shall say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me; you shall in any wise set him king over you, whom the LORD your God shall choose: one from among your brethren shall you set king over you: you may not set a stranger over you, which is not your brother. But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD has said to you, You shall henceforth return no more that way. Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold. And it shall be, when he sits upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: and it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them: that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.”
Jesus told His disciples, (which we can take to mean us as well); that “You are they which have continued with Me in My temptations. And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as My Father has appointed unto Me; that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” (Luke 22:28-30) And He also said, “Verily I say to you, That you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of His glory, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel” (Matthew 19:28) which we can interpret to mean concerning all His saints from out of every nation and family and tongue; that He will make us kings over the people from whom He has called and chosen us.
It is for more than one reason, that we are appointed the narrow and difficult way we have been put in, as Jesus’ disciples. And there are a number of very important things that we look forward to when Jesus returns, that only the way we take can prepare us for. While we are yet of little faith, and have a really hard time to figure out, what exactly is it that we shall have, since we have forsaken all to follow Jesus; (as not being able to see past the present circumstances; let alone a life after this world;) Jesus has made it abundantly clear, that He absolutely DOES have a place and a work for us, in the world to come.
In the prophet Daniel, chapter seven; the vision he was given, is a concise summary of the times of the Gentiles; coming to the full and completing its course, as God has appointed it: and then the entire kingdom and dominion being given to the people of the saints of the Most High. In these things indicating, that we must through much tribulation enter the kingdom of God; and that the work of grace wrought in us by the way which He leads us, shall make us those kings and priests that He has ever had in His heart to make us.
Luke 19:17 “And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.”
Matthew 25:21 “His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”
Revelation 1:4-6 “. . . Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne; and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”
Revelation 5:9-10 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
Since the Lord has so said about us in His word, that the dominion and the kingdom over all the earth shall be given to His saints; then it behooves us to look upon and to address the task before us, as it is in truth, studying and preparing for those things to come. For it will not be, and no one should think it at all possible, that the Lord will simply hand over the positions of responsibility and honor, to them that have not learned it, nor anything proven worthy of it.
In the parable about the Nobleman going into a distant country to obtain for Himself a kingdom, and to return; he divided his property and all his business, between his servants; to each one according to his ability; and then left the country. After a long time, when He came back, and took account of His servants; he did not give equal shares to everyone, indiscriminately; but only to the good and faithful, who had worked to the best of their respective ability: but to the lazy and wicked, who went and hid his lord’s money, and DID NOTHING; he was stripped of even the one talent he had, and himself cast out as wicked and worthless.
So shall it be given to all of us, according to the degree that each one has been faithful with what we are given; by the same measure which we measured, so shall it be measured again to us, in the giving of responsibility in the kingdom.
2 Samuel 24:24 “And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of you at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which does cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.”
For Tunnel Demolition fans, the following video is special. This is a unique IDF system. It is called “Emulsion System”. It works by injecting two separate chemicals into a tunnel along evenly spaced locations. The liquid chemicals mix and form a powerful explosive material which can then be ignited. It is all done without any need to enter the tunnel so they are using special drilling equipment. There are special Combat Engineering teams who know how to do it. As I said earlier. Every day is a gain for the IDF. The Gazans created a terror State , insane. As a note: The Defense Minister said today that “The Khan Yunis Brigade of Hamas is dismantled.”
I added the equipment (picture) at the end of the video.
Wow !
Interesting , the 2 different colors of smoke at the explosion site .
Stay Safe , David , and Your Family ⚘
Appreciate Your Reports 🌷

I saw light color and dark color and then in the slight background…light color again…interesting….
perhaps the dark color is munitions going up
WOW!! Great job, IDF!! Keep up the fight for your country. Special prayers for your safety. God Bless You All!!!

Morning Monti!
Goood morning sir!
Tractors have sure changed …
So has the price
There is a very large and looming problem with high tech tractors, basically farmers are no longer able to work on them as the On Board Diagnostics (OBD) are proprietary and various sensors and switches are all over the thing.
Which requires that they pack it up and truck it to the nearest dealer at great expense.
Lawsuits have been brought around this issue by farmers, but to my knowledge, none have been settled.
There should be case law that should have solved this issue long ago as this also happened to cars long ago when they went computerized & was also proprietary .. to force you to go back to the expensive dealer and try to shut down independent mechanics.
This same thing occurred to me and forklifts & the former independent company I worked for ….. proprietary software for engine diagnostics but … lock out any cheaper independent alternatives … our company lost a 250K per year account due to them buying new forklifts and being locked into a service agreement as they were warned that we as an independent would not be able to service them as their software was proprietary and that we would have no access to repair them.
Now little do they know that those service agreements do not cover damage by the operator of the forklift which is about 75 percent of charges for service …. I’ll digress from here but leave with this…
How would you like to be forced to take your Chevy to a distant dealer because a check engine light came on and your local mechanic can’t even plug into the computer and see what the computer says it see’s as a problem like (and this one is real from the mid 90’s) you forgot to tighten the gas cap fully and you are polluting the air with raw gas vapor & you must reset the code with a proprietary OBD dealer computer.
So true. So sad.
The one and only farm I worked on one summer was in a remote corner of OR … they had a massive, fully equipped shop where they maintained and repaired every piece of farm equipment they owned … esp the heavily used swather and hay balers.
I learned to arc-weld in their shop
That is a good description of many farmers around here Kenji.
Not only do they have well equiped shops to repair their own equipment, they also help each other out sharing tools and experience between them.
Those are the same cut of men I worked for. All multi-multi-millionaires now … because of their relentless hard work. There are very few people in America who are willing or able to do the amount of work required for farming … 7-days/week … myself included. After that summer … I never was so motivated to go to college and not have to do manual labor.
i have nothing but respect and admiration of farmers, ranchers, and all who make a living on the land.
Oh … and BTW … the 4 brothers/cousin I worked for all had Ag degrees and a couple had Masters in Ag. Smart men too.
California mandated all farm tractors must use Def in diesel engines with particulate filters. You either had to retro fit or buy new. Most bought new because the state subsidized new tractors. Problem is just like semi truck tractors they’re loaded with sensors. One bad sensor or the filter doesn’t clean itself (regen) and you’re shut down. Particulate filters have to be sent off to be cleaned periodically or replaced.
Result? I hauled (and a lot of others also) a lot of perfectly great tractors east bound out of Californistan to destinations all over the country. Now all new tractors and pickups if diesel use Def and have filters.
Let’s not make them more efficient that would be too easy.
Lots of old tractors (john deere 40 20 is a fav) are being refurbished and put back into service by farmers who can’t afford downtime. You have to plant when it’s time to plant and harvest when it’s ready to be harvested.
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 🙏🏻

Mornin’ all!
THE CONSTRAINT OF THE CALL
“Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” 1 Cor. ix. 16
Beware of stopping your ears to the call of God. Everyone who is saved is called to testify to the fact; but that is not the call to preach, it is merely an illustration in preaching. Paul is referring to the pangs produced in him by the constraint to preach the Gospel. Never apply what Paul says in this connection to souls coming in contact with God for salvation. There is nothing easier than getting saved because it is God’s sovereign work – Come unto Me and I will save you. Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation. We are condemned to salvation through the Cross of Jesus Christ. Discipleship has an option with it – “IF any man…”
Paul’s words have to do with being made a servant of Jesus Christ, and our permission is never asked as to what we will do or where we will go. God makes us broken bread and poured-out wine to please Himself. To be “separated unto the gospel” means to hear the call of God; and when a man begins to overhear that call, then begins agony that is worthy of the name. Every ambition is nipped in the bud, every desire of life quenched, every outlook completely extinguished and blotted out, saving one thing only – “SEPARATED UNTO THE GOSPEL.” Woe be to the soul who tries to put his foot in any other direction when once that call has come to him. This College exists for you, and you – to see whether God has a man or woman here who care about proclaiming His Gospel; to see whether God grips you. And beware of competitors when God does grip you.

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.

Cause He sees in the heart of me and you;
All He needs is acknowledgement thrust;
From outside to inside – In God we trust!
Our Faith needs replenishment almost daily;
We need to repent of our sins most ably;
No hiding behind our justification;
Cause God knows our heart identification!
Whenever you are caught in a dilemma or two;
Just go to the Quiet – Let God speak to you;
For in the silence – of your own heart;
His secrets to you – He will gladly impart!
Praise the Lord – for His intuit inspection;
His enduring love – His careful correction;
Whenever we doubt – whatever the case;
It is all about Virtue – His Gift of Grace!

Cocoa Prices Hit 46-Year High As Drought Concerns Threaten West African Crops

At about the minute and a half mark…he speaks the truth…funny but not really.
The lawyers and the FDA demand the recital of any effect experienced by anyone during the medicine trials. Newsflash … people are not all equal … esp. biologically and physiologically
Maybe a SAF event from my perch.
Last week I noticed more large, woke companies running TV ads with Spanish subtitles. Chick Fil A being one that I noticed.
This week, Western Union joined in using the same format and look. Maybe it’s the same production company, IDK.
I anticipate many electronic operators (perhaps using AI) will put Spanish as the predominant language for facilitation of a greater consumer group to further the globalists.

That’s very interesting.

“All over the world, conservatives are implementing everyday common-sense policies that get slandered in the media as ‘radical’, ‘extreme’, ‘far-right’ and other bad names.
If we were to give credence to these reports – which of course we don’t – it would seem the world is going mad, but of course it only means more and more people decide to implement sane and sensible policies.
Take Canada for a radical example.
Under the Globalist-liberal Justin Trudeau administration, it has turned into Canadistan, a place where it became normal that a female veteran suffering from PTSD searches for help, and is offered… assisted suicide.”

MORNING
Oh that thou wouldest keep me from evil. I Chron. 4:10
Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. Luke 22:46
The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matt. 26:41
Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. Prov. 30:7-9
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. Psa. 121:7
I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible. Jer. 15:21
He that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. I John 5:18
Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Rev. 3:10
The LORD knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations. II Pet. 2:9
EVENING
One star differeth from another star in glory. I Cor. 15:41
By the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all. Mark 9:34, 35
Be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. I Pet. 5:5, 6
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who … made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. Phil. 2:5-7, 9, 10
They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Dan. 12:3

We rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. – Romans 5:2
Magnificent. Worthy. Lovely. Grand. Creation and Redemption on display. These are a few of the ways people have described the glory of God. The glory of the Lord is woven in and out of nearly every biblical story—from creation to the birth and life of Jesus, to the Savior’s resurrection and ascension, and the coming full victory of those who believe. One old hymn declares that it will be glory for the believer just to look on the face of Jesus. And that is part of the hope Christians hold on to… the glories that await in the Heavenly realm.
However, there is glory in store for you right now as a follower of Christ. You stand in the grace of God! He has pardoned you. He has filled you with His Spirit. The Lord provides blessings for you every day and His mercies are new every morning. That should cause you to rejoice now! He gives you peace beyond human understanding. He is always there with you. God gives you strength for the day, and armor to wear for when the battle gets tough. So, rejoice!
Let your inner rejoicing bring such a smile to your face and a glow to your being that you will be compelled to share that hope with others. Pray for those in government who think that now is all there is—that there is nothing to hope for, and that the world itself is in despair. Pray that they will turn from their pessimism and discover the Prince of all hope, Jesus.

Yup! What didn’t kill us made us stronger.
May I suggest … a little prudence.

Globalists Will Use Carbon Controls to Stop You From Growing Your Own Food
https://discernreport.com/globalists-will-use-carbon-controls-to-stop-you-from-growing-your-own-food/
“Whitmer used covid as an opportunity to institute some bizarre limitations on the public, including a mandate barring larger stores from selling seeds and garden supplies to customers. “If you’re not buying food or medicine or other essential items, you should not be going to the store,” Whitmer said when announcing her order. The leftist governor was fine with purchases of lottery tickets and liquor, but not gardening tools and seeds.”
“…There was widespread rhetoric in the media throughout 2020 attacking anyone stockpiling necessities as “hoarders,” and now they were going after people planning ahead and trying to grow their own food. The establishment did NOT want people to store or produce a personal food supply.”
” That her garden supply ban was part of a wider goal that had nothing to do with public health safety and everything to do with stopping people from prepping. The covid controls were only meant to be a precursor to carbon controls.”
Anyone with a patch of garden should grow something. If vegetable gardening is new to you there are books and videos. I used to love gardening but live in an apartment now. Start digging, annoy the government. Potatoes do well in cooler climates. You can put some edible plants in between your flowers. Seeds should be non-GMO and heirloom. Put ‘prepper seeds’ in a search engine.
Read about organic gardening.
There are some countries in the world, not many but some, that outlaw storing much food in the home.
Coming from America I was amazed at this.
I never heard of that before either.
Evil Globalists.
They are doing it again.

“(Natural News)—A massive fire is engulfing a chicken plant in Texas in yet another case of a mysterious fire affecting a food processing plant at the same time that global elites have been ramping up their calls for the world to give up meat consumption.”

“The details are going to matter,” Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) told Fox News. “Next week could be a quick turnaround [but] the thing about text — and why it’s so important in this context — is that the legal language matters a great deal,” he said.
Leaks suggest the bill seeks to reduce President Joe Biden’s 2024 migration crisis by redirecting yet more illegal migrants toward new legal doorways. The greater inflow helps Biden’s donors because the migrants inflate the nation’s consumer economy as they compete for Americans’ housing, wages, and aid programs.”
“But Schumer said a few days are enough.
‘We plan to post the full text of the national security supplemental as early as tomorrow, no later than Sunday,” he said on Thursday. “That will give members plenty of time to read the bill before voting.”
EVIL Schumer is rushing the vote to Wednesday, February 7, partly because the Senate is out of session from February 10 to February 25. The two-week off period would allow the public to organize against the Democrat-backed, wealth-shifting, more migration bill.”

Actor Keanu Reeves has refused to present Whoopi Goldberg’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
“She’s not a nice person,” Reeves stated, “I don’t want to be remembered as the guy who made that mistake.”
Wouldn’t that be Ted Danson? The guy who made that mistake?
God bless America! 🙏💕🇺🇲
