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 †

She plays… it’s almost like a lullabye. Sigh. Good background for my work today.
Blessings, G.
Until she got towards the end and then it was time to WAKE UP! HA HA!
Good morning JWoo! I’m in San Antonio this morning. Will meet the coon guy. Last night didn’t hear any activity so the coons are out. He will remove his one way only equipment and close the screen. Also, there are couple of other places where the coons have started chewing the siding. Metal flashing goes there. Next step will be getting the repair crew to work on the house.
Enjoy San Antone, M. Maybe you meet up with G for a breakfast taco and side of beans?! Yum.
Sorry to hear about the damage to your place. We just love our wildlife here and miss them so much. Of course, we have inside cats who try to make inside furnishings “theirs”. Not spraying, thank goodness, but definitely “theirs”. Caught Harry Houdini helping himself to Savannah’s Ponytail Palm (non-toxic).
We are thinking of making them their own little garden inside.
Best of luck with the repairs. It’s so weird that the raccoons are chewing siding. I can’t imagine anything “appetizing” with that? Maybe they’re retaliating because you’re on a carb-free diet and your garbage isn’t as appealing? LOL
They are trying to make holes big enough to get in the attic or in the chimney. LOL! I am rarely here now that I am retired so they hardly get anything in the garbage. However, some of the neighbors feed the stray cats and that attracts the coons. I have suggested to the neighbors to put the food down for 30 minutes then pick it up for the night but I reckon it’s too much bother. Maybe I ought to hand them the repairs bill.
Elizabeth and I enjoyed a dinner last night at our favorite Brazilian Steakhouse. The prices have gone up about 30%. Ouch!
Maybe time to sell the San Antonio place and transfer the headaches? Lot easier to guard for coons if one is local… and inspire the neighbors to not keep feeding the wildlife.
Coons like the neighbors’ food, but your digs. Maybe a peace offering and leave them a bag of kibble? If your foods better, maybe they’ll take up residence at the neighbors???
Ha ha…
Sad about the Brazilian Steakhouse. Prices are soaring and good restaurants are empty and closing.
Mornin’ dear ‘Woo. 🙂 The Siccas guys tend to do a very good job finding new talent. Doesn’t bother me a bit that they tend to prefer to promote young women virtuosos . . . long may they wave.
Hee hee… G. You just like the view. 😉 I know. It’s all good. Ha ha! Patience and I won’t be jealous that you’re checking out the ladies.
Morning Garrison!
Mornin’ Gramps. -) Here’s my method for dealing with ‘coons (and other critters). ‘Coons are nocturnal creatures. They feed at night and sleep under your house (and mine) during the day. My method is simple (don’t think I’ve ever hired a professional btw). The first step is to find the entrance/exit hole.
I wait until early evening/dusk . . . this is when ‘coons like to feed. I usually put down some newspaper around the hole. Around early dark, when the ‘coon leaves to get food, he’ll disturb the papers. Messy papers mean he’s not under the house. When that happens I seal the hole (usually with chicken wire)—not pretty but it works. One fix is under my back porch steps. It’s now ten-years old and still keeps critters out.
Old-build pier-and-beam houses (mine is ’29) are particularly vulnerable to critter occupations. I once had a whole colony of ‘coons in residence. Lesson learned . . .
Oooo… good lesson! Thanks for sharing that!
That’s a good method Garrison. My problem is that they go for the attic here (foundation, not pier and beams), and I am not here that often nowadays.

Good morning Bet! Left an update upthread to JWoo with my activities today. ❤️😘
Good morning, Jay, G, Betsy, Stevie, Benzy and everyone…
I’ll just stick to the berries, espresso, and smell the rose. It’s better than my orange-infused hot water right now. I would beg for an espresso right now with a pinch of maybe cinnamon or nutmeg. Yum.
Happy to report with all the vitamin goodies, the super beets, and the liquid IV… I feel more hydrated and my blood pressure seems to be going down. I always drink a lot of water, but somehow I wasn’t absorbing it. Low on electrolytes. Tomorrow is the vessel elasticity test and the 24-hour blood pressure monitoring – so should be interesting to see what that looks like.
My appetite is bonzo – 14 vitamins and weird things encapsulated a day. My daughter thinks I should just quit eating and take capsules for nutrition. This coming from a person who detests pills of any kind. Only 1 pharma pill for me, though, and I want it to stay that way.
Do you all feel like we are on the homestretch? We have survived these past three years. November is not far away – we can do this. Going to plant extra beautiful things on my patio this summer – just to spite evil.
Kiddo’s 18th birthday in March, junior prom in April, birthday concert in April, St. Louis in September – base camp to base camp. Keeping ourselves distracted with joy-filled things.
Living our best lives.

“Florida Man”, of course
Man arrested after joyriding in pickup truck in Florida surf
Jason Brzuszkiewicz was ultimately arrested for failing to pay the access fee of the beach access toll.
Video showed Jason Brzuszkiewicz driving his Dodge Ram Pickup truck onto the shore of New Smyrna Beach
In these trying times, one must do what makes one happy. I wonder what his bail is?
Dunno
Vehicles ARE allowed on that beach, but it looks like they cited him for not paying the fee
And I see it’s actually a “New York Man” in the headline
Having my doubts that it was actually ‘his’ truck.
But then again… protons, electrons, neutrons and morons…
I love New Smyrna Beach. I personally don’t like the vehicles on the beach.
1, Wonder where that magic line is in the surf beyond which the truck floats off towards Greenland?
2, Washing off the undercarriage with nice salty seawater is maybe not the best way of preserving the steel…..
Aaaah, it’s a rental, what does he care … he probably bought the insurance. /s

Scroll from 2000 years ago has been made readable “Vesuvius Challenge 2023 Grand Prize Awarded: We Can Read the Scroll!”
https://scrollprize.org/grandprize
Exciting archaeological breakthrough. How wonderful. Scrolls hidden in the Herculaneum ash and mud, finally seen after close to 2000 years. There are many more, of this recent find of scrolls, to be read using new technology. Also, they have only excavated one floor of the ancient library. There are two more beneath this one. Imagine,(as they say) what treasures remain to be deciphered. Thanks, Bessie, for posting that.
For anyone unfamiliar with the tragedy of Herculaneum, like Pompeii it was destroyed in that same volcanic eruption. There are images online.

Sorry, but “transgender” is like “Global Warming” … entirely FAKE constructs. Vehicles created to achieve something entirely different. To destroy our culture … destroy our civilization.
There is no such thing as “transgenderism” … it should be called what it is … mental illness.
What one tolerates, one gets more of.
Until every woman athlete… every single one…walks and refuses to participate in this obscene madness and mental illness, this will go on.
This! They should have never tolerated the madness. Just like the kneeling of football players, we could have ended it quickly by rejecting the insanity.
Now I understand why courage is the most important virtue. And, courage is indeed contagious.

See: East German women’s swimmers
That is so unfair. How can these ‘transgenders’ get any satisfaction from any accomplishments they pretend to have won, when they have cheated and in my eyes made complete fools of themselves. No one in their right mind can have any respect for them.

Makes my heart sick, but I know I wouldn’t recognize her anymore. I’m sitting on my hands trying not to buy George Strait and Chris Stapleton tickets for May. Not sure how I’ll feel when Sir George passes. He is a legend and sings so much of my life’s memories. Just sigh.
Yet, we can be encouraged because we know Where they go and can only guess at how Blissful and Perfect It Is.

Harvey S. Firestone
(1868-1938)
American manufacturer and founder of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, dies at 69
Biography: Harvey S. Firestone was an American businessman known for founding the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. Born in Ohio, he was early to recognize the potential for automobile tires and became a key figure in the burgeoning industry.
After high school, Firestone first worked at the Columbus Buggy Company. He then launched his own business in 1890, producing rubber tires for carriages. By 1900, Firestone saw the opportunity in automobile tires and established the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company.
Firestone was part of “The Vagabonds,” a group of American industry leaders including Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and others, who would vacation and collaborate professionally. He collaborated with Samuel Crowther to write “Men and Rubber: The Story of Business” in 1926, in which he reflects on Ford and Edison, considering the causes of their success.
His contributions to industry and education are commemorated in the Firestone Library at Princeton University, among other memorials. The Harvey S. Firestone Memorial was dedicated in Akron, Ohio, in 1950. Firestone was posthumously honored with inductions into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 1974 and the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2013.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh
(1906-2001)
American author and aviator (Gift from the Sea), dies of a stroke at 94
Biography: Anne Morrow Lindbergh is a renowned 20th century aviator and author. She was born in 1906 in Englewood, New Jersey, to a wealthy and influential family. She attended Smith College and graduated with a degree in history in 1928.
Anne met famed aviator Charles Lindbergh in 1927 at a dinner party, and the two were married in 1929. Anne accompanied Charles on several of his famous flights and earned her own pilot’s license in 1930. In 1932, the Lindberghs famously became parents to the first child born of a trans-Atlantic flight.
Anne wrote several books during her lifetime, including ‘Gift from the Sea’ and ‘North to the Orient’. She also wrote a detailed diary of her experiences, which was later published as ‘Hour of Gold, Hour of Lead’.
… and every shadow at the bottom of the ocean is a NEW discovery of her crash site. 😐

My wife and I’ve been to Captiva Island back in the ’90s / early ’00s. I did not see their Historical Society building while there for a few hours. We went to a very cool restaurant there called the Bubble Room. It was heavily damaged by Hurricane Ian in 2022 and according to their website, they’re still rebuilding it.
If they are successful, I heartily recommend it to anyone visiting SW Florida. It’s worth the drive.

Israel Update:
I have reduced the number of updates because I am trying to give more of an overall picture than a detailed account.
What is happening is as I mentioned before: The soldiers on one hand are very good and making constant progress. We dismantled 18 of 24 Battalions of Hamas and the numbers keep improving. Remember that it doesn’t mean they are all dead. It means they no longer operate as an organization as they are partly dead and partly captured or injured and lost their control structures and dispersed or escaped. . But we can still have trouble in the future but they will not be able to have there a governing presence. We have a momentum and I am glad that Hamas rejected the awful “deal” that Israel proposed. We have less forces and less casualties by far but most of the war is in Khan Yunis and we have there quality elite forces that one day will be studied in Military schools as to how they operate above and below ground concurrently moving through hold in walls without exposing themselves and using little drones and who knows what else.
I avoided the endless “figure-figure” and analysis on this subject of the “deal” because all that matters is that a deal was proposed and what it was and whether or not it passed. If something changes I will let you know.
On the other side against the soldiers are the Biden’s Administration who is trying very hard to end this war without a defeat of Hamas. And recently they cut a multi-billion weapon deal with Turkey, one of the worst players who is also hosting Hamas on their soil. And another bad player is no other than our own “damned” media (most of them) who are mainly leftish and are demoralizing and are awful. Kind of like your CNN and MSNBC only it’s worse in a war time when you expect some collective responsibility. I guess Liberal Progressives are mentally defective so there is nothing good to expect. We do have a couple of Conservative outlets and I did a translation job today because it’s very good and gives you the facts without the noise. It is really a good update by itself. No one is translating it so you have the advantage of getting local reporting from Israel with my humble help.
So Khan Yunis is about to fall. And last is Rafa in the end of the south. Today I already saw massive bombing on Rafa (I will post a video bellow).
They have there 4 Battalions and many of the terrorists and civilians escaped to there so we will need to move the civilians again in orsder to be able to operate there when its time.
Now we have Blinken on his 6th visit trying to stop us, asking for a personal alone meeting with our Chief of staff of the IDF and trying to force a Palestinian State and some deluded peace deal with Saudi Arabia as an exchange.
He doesn’t understand Arabs. Over 80 or 90% in Saudi Arabia are on the Hamas side. One day we can make peace with the Saudis but not with Biden. With the help of Trump yes. Israel shouldn’t make concessions for a peace with the Saudis. Just like the peace we had with the other Arab States with Trump’s help. Anyways here is the video. I hope you can follow the translation fast enough.
Note: You may have to enlarge the screen of the video or click the YouTube logo and watch in on YouTube in order to see the subtitles. I see that it is partly hidden on this platform. Next time I will take it into account and raise the subtitles.
🇮🇱💪❤️ David: You are correct: this video, along with your helpful translation for us, is a very good update all in itself.
So good to see the progress.
I also like the interview you posted down the page a ways.
Thank you, David! Shalom!

I found this to be a fairly well-stated summary, it’s a post on Quora
—-
Why is the whole world just standing by and watching the Israeli Army killing and destroying innocent lives against people who cannot fight back?
I think, Byron, in your bio, where you say, “I just like to read other people’s comments about topics that I know nothing
about” perfectly sums up the formulation of your question.
For 16 years, from 2007, these “people who cannot fight back” have been shelling a sovereign neighbouring state with the SOLE aim of killing as many of that state’s CIVLIANS as possible.
They have started FOUR wars and EIGHT smaller scale hostilities; a total of 12 wars in 16 years. They have also, as a choice, broken every single cease fire brokered by international intermediaries.
You with me so far, Byron?
But then, mate, on October 7 2023, they sent in a volley of 2000 rockets at civilian concentrations, and then, in the spirit of those very same “people who cannot fight back”, they massacred 1200 civilians in their homes and at an outdoor rave, anally raped Israeli women while stabbing them in the back each time they flinched at each thrust of the rape, sliced off the breasts of mothers and girls (with box cutters, with live hostages…), tied families in their homes with steel wire and burned them to death, shot children in front of their parents, beheaded old dead pensioners, decapitated a soldier and took his head to gaza to sell for $10,000 (it was later found by Israeli special ops in the freezer of a gazan ice cream patlour…), sliced off the arm of a 9 yr old girl who later died, catatonic and speechless, of blood loss, fired thermobaric RPG rounds into homes to vaporize the civilians within, drove nails into the inner thighs and vaginas of mothers and took hostage 264 Israelis including a 10 month old infant and an 85 year old Holocaust survivor, dragging them into the dank, damp and airless tunnels in gaza.
85% of the “innocents” IN GAZA “who cannot fight back” per ur question, SUPPORT the atrocities committed by Hamas, and thousands of these “innocents” cheered as the naked and spreadeagled body of an Israeli woman was paraded as a trophy on the back of a pick up truck in the streets of gaza.
In the IDF sweep into gaza, north to south, units reported that almost EVERY SINGLE CIVILIAN HOUSE contained rifles, RPGs, grenades, IEDs and ammunition and this is NOT including schools, mosques, hospitals, banks, bakeries , playgrounds, clinics and kindergardens which contained booby trapped tunnel shafts and rocket launchers in graveyards ( you read that right, byron).
And, of course, all those “innocents who cannot fight back” believe that it is their destiny to rid the middle east of jews.
From the river to the sea.
If you wanted to rephrase your question perhaps, or ask another one byron, you know what to do.
Alan Meyer
Yes. Difficult descriptions that I saved my friends here the agony of reading it. There is a lot more. I have a couple of videos of the police investigation and forensic people on my YouTube channel. The descriptions there can give nightmares so I don’t post it here but it’s accessible. It’s sad that the Hamas propaganda got so many people misguided.
agreed … I’ve consumed very little of the most explicit descriptions … only a couple so I knew the extent of what was done
similar to prior atrocities … I refrained from watching the beheading videos of a couple years ago, the guys in orange jumpsuits on the beach
I HAVE watched one stoning video … to inform myself and kind of “taking one for the team” of being informed on our side
it’s a balance, to be sure
At some point I started to have headaches from the atrocities. I have access to many videos and images and descriptions because I am on many Telegram channels. What was done on 10/7 is not just murder. It was an assault on the human spirit. Specifically of Israel. We are at a cross point in history. Israel will never be the same again. The pain is mutual and so does the realizations of who we are dealing with.
David: This quote from you is so important and truthful, I want to emphasize it (with a slight correction if you’ll allow me?)
“At some point I started to have headaches from the atrocities.

-David
Thank you.
At some point I started to have headaches from the atrocities.
I’ll pray for your well-being, David
I’ve intentionally only skimmed the surface and not sought to delve in detail, largely for self-protection
I understand that you’ve gone deeper, you probably considered it somewhat of a duty as a citizen
May God Bless you and all of Israel’s citizens
Thank you. I truly appreciate it! You’re a very good person, I can tell.
As someone who reports I simply ran across a lot. Every time it got worse to a point that I reached my limit.
The descriptions of the witnesses about the torture and rape, some of it by people who had to deal with the bodies and soldiers who came across the bodies, some of the police findings who had to go through many evidences and put together cases for courts, those were tough. I do give it value specially of historical and legal value. Also good for those who would
choose the wrong side. But if you got the point then it’s not healthy. Just understand that the descriptions are more than a few. Specially the sexual attacks on women and on men too.
Well said…
The thing I like most about this “open fire” (the inverse of “ceasefire”) … is the willingness of Hamas to fight right down to their last man. How brave and suicidal of em. May they all receive their death wish.
And BTW … if the IDF weren’t being extraordinarily careful and cautious around Gazan civilians … we’d be seeing hundreds of dead children on the daily news. But it’s not happening. And now with the power of photo searches … the dirty Muslims cannot post photos from 1992 anymore
David. Thank you for the video and translation. And thanks for the update. I have been missing them for a while.
It is not surprising so many in Saudi supports Hamas. Like Hamas, and the PLO, etc. Saudi wants Israel and the US gone also. They have their goal of Ummah – The world wide Muslim community. Saudi keeps their eye on the world view and tries to be more subtle in their approach. But after living in Saudi for 6 years I saw enough to know this. Trust a peace deal with Saudi on the same level as trusting one with Hamas.
Thank you!
These morons in the House couldn’t even impeach Maydorkass… because in part they threw Santos overboard.
Queensbury rules don’t apply in a death match you IDIOT RINOs.
While it looks like we slowed down. The IDF keeps going to its next target – Rafa . The last stronghold of Hamas in the far south of Gaza. This will be the last city to conquer. The population will have to be moved as it hosts many refugees from the north of Gaza. Latest footage from Rafa.

🔗Ask Confidently
THE DISCIPLINE OF DEJECTION
“But we trusted…and beside all this, today is the third day…” Luke xxiv. 21
Every fact that the disciples stated was right; but the inferences they drew from those facts were wrong. Anything that savours of dejection spiritually is always wrong. If depression and oppression visit me, I am to blame; God is not, nor is anyone else. Dejection springs from one of two sources – I have either satisfied a lust or I have not. Lust means – I must have it at once. Spiritual lust makes me demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Who gives the answer. What have I been trusting God would do? And today – the immediate present – is the third day, and He has not done it; therefore I imagine I am justified in being dejected and in blaming God. Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer, we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer. It is impossible to be well physically and to be dejected. Dejection is a sign of sickness, and the same thing is true spiritually. Dejection spiritually is wrong, and we are always to blame for it.
We look for visions from heaven, for earthquakes and thunders of God’s power (the fact that we are dejected proves that we do), and we never dream that all the time God is in the commonplace things and people around us. If we will do the duty that lies nearest, we shall see Him. One of the most amazing revelations of God comes when we learn that it is in the commonplace things that the Deity of Jesus Christ is realized.

Good morning
Good morning Monti! 🌞😁🤗
better a pretty bluebird than a fence-post turtle
Morning nim
Mitch is just an ole reptile, a snapper
mornin’ Monti
never ran into one o’ them, never want to
Not on a wire … but you reminded me of this …
🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Two songs of protest. One is protesting the Japan-US security treaty, the other the DNC/JFK and the fledgling Vietnam War
“Don’t ask Jack to help you cause he’ll turn the other ear.”
I just don’t get it.
Asking a dead president as a symbol of being ignored.
Complaining about rules and regulations and then becoming the champions of rules and regulations.
But what I don’t get most of all is how a song about being alone and crying is a protest of a security treaty. Maybe the one he loved (Japan) had been taken away by another (America)? Maybe it was in memory of one who died in the protest, or someone who died at American hands leading up to the protests?
There just isn’t a protest in that song.
wiki FWIW: Ei wrote the lyrics while walking home from participating in the 1960 Anpo protests against the U.S.–Japan Security Treaty, expressing his frustration and dejection at the failed efforts to stop the treaty. However, the lyrics were purposefully generic so that they might refer to any lost love.[3][4]
Jack Kennedy was at the DNC in Chicago (I should have inspected what I cut and pasted a bit more closely.) it was not John F Kennedy.
The Chicago protests were possibly the last time liberals protested against the democrats….? Remember the Dims started Vietnam.
boy Monti music brings up memories in the 60’s, people took to the streets, protests galore neigborhoods
universities downtown we gathered. Vietnam vets coming home spit on, the war coming into to the living
room for the first time, assassinations. All the rights taking place. What a time to be alive.
I don’t recall this music you have here but music was BIG. So for some of us who have this history we have faith
that we are in Gods hands and that’ all we need know.
Good morning to my 🌳🏚 friends!
⚔ ⚔ WARRIOR WEDNESDAY ⚔⚔
Choose to be a Warrior for Christ…
BUT…
luv ravenhill. Why Revival Tarries is a book to be read.
Yep…and Sodom had no Bible…both excellent!
awwww, they all piled in there just to be together
I observe too many becoming Putin fanboys.
No wonder Jim Jones had followers.
A healthy sense of skepticism about trusting any person is biblical
Psalm 40:4 Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods.
Numbers 23:19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?
I agree with you!
Tucker Carlson said, “We are not here (in Moscow) because we love Vladimir Putin“:
🔗 to the clip
I trust Putin about as much as I trust Biden and Zelenskyy.
OK I’ll take your fan boi insult, and ask the simple question … which leader in America, Ukraine, or any county in Europe would make the same claim … publicly? Who in the West would speak such a thing … out loud, and proud?

Mornin’ all!
Boy howdy!
And far more policed than the streets of Oakland, CA
Good Morning all!
Shower plumber. Floor set and tile on floor and curb all grouted in. Cement board wall panels in. Awaiting acrilic wall panels.
Blinds for the Sunroom arrived yesterday. Will install today.
Flooring to arrive today. Will need to sit in the heated garage to warm as will the plastic vapor barrier.
Steve and I busted butt on the front porch of the cabin before he left.
It is roofed with three temporary columns supporting it.
After I finish this cup of coffee, Jay and I will go pickup the prefinished 4 1/4” wide golden oak baseboard for the sun room so it is ready when the floor is laid.
Have to bump up the heat in the garage to warm the flooring to the same temp as the house.
Once the blinds are up and flooring and baseboard installed, the sunroom is done.
a sunroom is the best room in the house!
My Grandmother used to call hers the “sun parlor”. It was located on the south-facing side of her house, built in 1930. That’s where my grandfather had his armchair radio.
yes, glorious in so many ways. the daily newspaper, house plants, the missus and her knitting…
Exactly! Not so much in the hottest days of the summer, but most of the rest of the year! They loved the bright sunshine-lit space – because it was and still is always healthier than the less-bright interior.
I have never watched any of the award shows, but I like the music here:
So much music when we listen “In a different light” and applied to our current times and events, is so reflective of our reality. Love her stuff. Like this one. Speak the Word.
Wow … nothing could be further from the truth today. Sad.

Carpenters are mentally flexible….
After all they think both inside and outside the box.
(My sense of humor is shaken not stirred and very dry)
See what happens when a fertile mind has too much time on it’s hands? Fertile as in fertilizer right? lol
Plant it and watch it grow
di-hydrogen oxide
Just think.
Add one more tiny Oxygen atom and you have a powerful antiseptic, bleaching agent, or oxidizer!
How versatile is water!
I’ve always found Health Food and Organic Food fanatics to be very much like Gnostic Christians … believers who pervert the Gospel with THEIR own personal knowledge (gnosis) … special knowledge … that makes them smarter, and better, than all you plain old Christians.
They’re gonna eat better than you, and live longer. Good luck with that. Yes, we should all eat better than most Americans do … but eating like a cultist won’t save you.
For fun & profit.
A mind is a terrible thing right?
Lol
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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
REMOVE THAT FENCE
From childhood to adulthood, we are taught;
We must control our feelings as we ought;
A woman can cry and regain her composure;
But a man must refrain from feeling exposure!
In public, we mustn’t make fools of ourselves;
Be sure to put feelings back onto shelves;
Be sure to conceal some part none can see;
Keep our feelings under wraps protectively!
Some of us build walls – others build fences;
Through these barriers – the battle commences;
We share bits and pieces of trivia true;
Not too much – that just might – belie me or you!
We play this game fairly – not just because;
Our fear of rejection might give us pause;
What man puts asunder – no man can break;
There’s too much to lose – too much at stake!
So what does God think of this foolish frivolity?
Does He look kindly on this dumb-founded folly?
If lies and deception are part of this game;
It will surely divide if not defame!
No doubt God would rather we not build walls;
Those fences do not keep in whatever befalls;
Without or within is nowhere to be;
Separated from God – are you and me!
Love one another as I have loved you;
Jesus gave – this command – so we must do;
He mentioned neither walls nor fences to be;
Erected to keep – me from you – you from me!
As a servant of God, He was second to none;
He set the example for the victory won;
So if we build fences around our hearts;
The Spirit He moves – but soon He departs!
His gifts – they are many – His fruits the same;
From giving of self – we should not refrain;
Freely He loves – so love freely must we;
Not a stone unturned must there ever be!
We reap what we sow – our harvest returned;
With a heart full of love – we have so yearned;
From inside out and from without within;
Without walls and fences – we must begin!
We must be not afraid – it is about trust;
The love in our hearts gives it its thrust;
If our union is blessed – then blessed it will be;
With faith – through grace – for eternity!
So remove that fence – and tear down that wall;
Before opportunity passes – and trust befall;
Be not afraid – I am with you always;
Today – and tomorrow – and for all days!

he is the heart of our nation. Amen

Israel Update:
The following is an interview with a main Operations Commander of the battle in Khan Yunis. The place where the war is happening now. It’s a rare interview so I translated. He is there on the ground.
He is an Operations Commander of Division 98 , the Commando Division is made of: The Paratrooper Brigade, The Commando Brigade (which consists of a few elite units with different purposes including appearing as locals, undercover work), a Classified fire power Brigade that uses confidential type of bombardments, another Paratroop type Brigade, a special communication collection Brigade, Logistics Brigade, a Special Transportation Unit that have special type vehicles to move warriors and rescue when needed in complex situations.
His name is Lt. Colonel Rami Meganzi, a Reserves Operations Commander of Division 98:
“The Division is now 66 days fighting in Khan Yunis, since 10/7 it was all called in. At the first two months we operated on both fronts, the north and the south.
The fighting here is very “distilled”, we closed all of Khan Yunis in an Attack Ring, and in the time line of the days we started to narrow and disconnect the ring towards the Refugee Camp.
Very good achievements all along those days. We hurt all the Hamas Heads that are there so far, We eliminated in this time over 2,000 terrorists and took in many Hamas terrorists who were captured. We also brought in a lot of Intelligence. Last week we are very focused on the Refugee Camp with very large achievements.
The Division is fighting both above and under the ground, there are fights above ground, there are terrorists who are coming out and terrorists who stay under the ground. Then when there is contact we have the upper hand.
There are under ground encounters too, all their leadership and Command is underground. I will not get into “Where is Sinwar”. Whoever needs to know is working on it.
Our job is to conduct the fights of the forces, we have there more than a few, variety of forces. The fight there is very complex and we are trying to do everything to reach as fast as possible to their leadership and hostages.”
As to the siege on Hamas’s leader: “I am convinced that at the beginning of the war in Khan Yunis the distance may have been far, but we are identifying signs that the ring is closing on him – we are not far from Sinwar. We are trying in all the ways to reach in the fastest way, to hurt the leadership and achieve the needed image of victory.”
About what’s next?: “we are now focused on the Refugee Camp, doing everything to get it done with in the best possible way, to collect all the Intel that we need in order to continue and reach the right people in order to defeat Hamas and of course to reach the hostages. In the Refugee Camp the fight in the last week is very intensive. The fight there is much more crowded, the forces are very close one to the other, the enemy is coming out and to our satisfaction we are managing to hurt it, there are more explosives on the doors and their external walls.
The enemy is trying in any way to hurt us. The battle is more difficult now but I am happy to tell that we are doing it pretty well. One have to be carful in the allies, we are now 124 days in combat.
Not sure that everybody thought that it will develop this way, we knew it will be a long time but ‘prophecy was given the fools’. The strongest Brigade of Hamas is the Khan Yunis Brigade, the fight is stubborned but we see there that their air is running out to their Battalions. I believe that we will defeat them, I have no doubt!”
😅❤️🇮🇱💪🙏 David: I like this guy, Lt. Colonel Rami Meganzi, a Reserves Operations Commander of Division 98.
”… Whoever needs to know is working on it.” 😊

A little prayer for Tucker Carlson should be included in our activities over the next few days. He is in Moscow and is planning an interview with Vladimir Putin. I am sure he will get it done, but the CIA is also following him around. If they can slaughter his reputation with information they scrape up, they will do it. If they can’t find an angle for that, they will likely resort to something much worse than that. I believe that God will protect him, so he is in my prayers.
Amen. We should all surround and lift up Tucker in our prayers. IMHO … he is doing The Lord’s Work
