Is it, in fact, permanent? Jesus also said, “…..go and sin no more….” to her, John 8:11. What if she leaves the well, and a year later returns to her previous life?
This is not a slap at your post, instead, a personal want of knowledge on this exact topic.
Thank you for your post.
Good morning, Poyeema,
Blessings to you, Sis. I would like to chime in, as the only unforgiveable sin in the Bible is the blaspheming of the Holy Spirit. (If anyone knows of others – please let me know, for this was the result of my study of such.)
To blaspheme the Holy Spirit is an act of one’s will and attributes the work of the Holy Spirit to the devil. To lose salvation is to lose the Holy Spirit Who acts as our conduit to The Lord and Who indwells in us at Spiritual conversion.
If we were to lose the Holy Spirit, we would lose the compunction of sin, reticence, remorse, and conviction which pricks our hearts and minds and turns our Spirit to The Lord for forgiveness each day, each hour, each moment.
In Genesis 6, where The Lord limits our lives to 120 years – He Says that we are but mere mortals and He Will not “contend” with us for so long. This was not a punishment. It was a Merciful act, as our predecessors were living 700, 800, 900 years. Could we imagine living the marathon of sin so long?
When God chose to limit our lives to 120 years, He chose to lessen our curse from the original sin.
God will not continue to chastise us, discipline us, pursue us – for our ultimate reconciliation comes with our deliverance through death into Eternity.
So, fellowship with God is permanent.
It is the abandonment of such fellowship by blaspheming the Holy Spirit which breaks the fellowship that is deemed unforgiveable, according to The Word.
Matthew 12:22-45
English Standard Version
Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit22 Then a demon-oppressed man who was blind and mute was brought to him, and he healed him, so that the man spoke and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, “Can this be the Son of David?” 24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, “It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons.” 25 Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. 26 And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 28 But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can someone enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. 30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. 31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come.
Good morning JWoo! When someone is truly saved he or she becomes indwelled by the Holy Spirit and they wouldn’t blaspheme against Him and won’t be breaking their fellowship with God.
Notice, that in the above passage Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees who didn’t have fellowship with God to begin with.
Have a blessed day! I am so glad that your health is improving! 😁
Good afternoon, M!
Right on, brother, the operative word is “truly” saved – because one who is truly saved can’t help but be in unity with The Lord and then from that yields the fruits of the Spirit.
Thank you for the kind words about my health. A friend and I spoke on the phone yesterday and she says it is remarkable how I sound. I shudder to say it, but I think I was closer to death than I would like to admit. I feel like a WHOLE new person and the energy I have is remarkable.
However, I do occasionally still get winded or run down, but it is fleeting and I’m recovering nicely. That next supplement I am sourcing to help strengthen the elasticity of my veins will help even more with delivering precious oxygen to my organs.
Might even go out and buy a cape, so I can fly around! Bwah ha ha! Not THAT awesome but pretty close!
😂❤️
Well said and good on you, dear ‘Woo 🙂
Ready to kick some tushy, G… with righteous indignation and extreme prejudice… of course!
I got the Powers That
BeSeem to admit to an increase of violence in the school disrupting attentiveness by the students in the wording of kiddo’s IEP. I MADE THEM put it in there. They tried to keep it out – anything that made them complicit, they tried to withhold.Now it’s a matter of record.
your a wonderful example of spiritual warrior. Stand tall sister. Peace
I will, friend. You are a blessing and a beautiful edifier. We are warriors together and our God Is Triumphant! We have nothing to fear for everything outside of Christ is trivial.
Well, of course they wouldn’t want to admit to that . . . Good for you and good for kiddo. 🙂
First, “What if’s” are hypotheticals and not answerable.
Second, telling her “sin no more” was not followed by an “or else!” Was it?
Third, please read and study and believe the following Scriptures (this is a very brief list):
John 6:37, 39-40; 17:3;
Romans 8:1, 29-30;
1 Corinthians 1:27-29 (“God chose”),
Ephesians 1:4-5 (speaking of the elect);
First John 2:24-25.
God can’t lose the ones He chooses to be in His Son.
They are “the elect,” and “No man snatches them out of My Hand” (John 10:27-29).
Finally beware of some who may come by later with their sub-orthodox view of salvation, subtle impugning Christ’s finished work on cross, doubting the security of the elect, confusion over what it means to be “in Christ,” attacking the believer’s assurance of salvation (contradicting John 20:31 and 1 John 5:13), adding self-effort (works) to God’s free gift of salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9). They are “enemies of the cross” (Philippians 3:18-19).
God bless you, Poyeema, for asking such an important question.
The great luthier, Antonio Torres, was virtually singularly responsible for creating the modern concert classical guitar. If you do a little Youtube research you’ll see just how related his guitar designs from the mid 1800’s are with contemporary classical guitars.
This video is particularly interesting in that respect.
Torres understood that the wonderful tone of his instruments rested in the careful construction of the top. Many other builders argued that tone was centered in the back and sides of the guitar.
So . . . to prove his point, Torres built a guitar with backs and sides made with paper-mache. In this video Federica performs with a concert guitar build in the style of Antonio Torres’ famous paper-mache guitar. Enjoy, Treeper friends . . .
Fill it with candy and I’m all in! 🙂
🙂
I’ve read that some (many?) classical guitars are made with cedar tops
Where I grew up on the east coast, forests would give way to salt-grass marshes and then to bays
The last stand of forest approaching the marshes tended to be cedar, as it’s tolerant to either the wetness or the salt or both (I’m guessing)
Kid I went to high school with, his family had a cedar stand they’d sell lumber from
I worked a couple years on a bulkheading crew. Bulkheads are put in along waterfronts in the bays to hold your sandy backyard in place from collapsing into the bay. Then you build a dock / pier that goes out a ways and you can tie up your boat to that. If you get on google maps and switch to satellite view, you can see how it goes, all up and down the east coast.
At any rate, we’d visit my friend’s tree farm to get cedar posts, we’d sink them into the sand to form the docks, you sink 2 lines of cedar posts and then follow up with beams and planking to build your dock / pier.
The bulkhead part we’d construct with creosote lumber. We’d sink creosote-treated pilings (telephone poles, essentially) about 15-20 feet deep and standing vertical in a line along the property/water’s edge, then nail up creosote 4x4s as horizontal beams at about head high and shin-high, then we’d sink 1×8 tongue-in-groove creosote planks down into the sand to make a wall of planking, nailed into the 4x4s.
All the “sinking” was done by water jetting, we had a 3-1/2 horse Briggs and Stratton centrifugal pump, toss an intake in the bay and the working end of the jet was a 16-ft length of inch-and-a-quarter galvanized steel pipe. Two-man operation, 1 guy to hold the pipe vertical and assistant to support the feeder hose to the pipe.
Hold the pipe vertical and turn on the water and it’d blast out and start flushing sand outta the way. Keep poking it down and you could create a vertical hole in the sand down to about -20 feet below water (16 ft on the pipe, 2 more ft sticking your arm down into the hole to your shoulder, and about 2 more feet that the jet was blasting water out the bottom)
Then we had a bulldozer with clamshell bucket that could grab the creosote telephone polls and bring ’em over and we’d muscle the tip over to the whole and then stand it up vertical and it’d plunk down into the hole, then the dozer guy would get the bucket onto the top of it and push it down farther with the weight and muscle of the dozer. Pull the jet pipe out of the whole and the sand would collapse back around the piling and seize up and the pilings would be locked in after awhile.
After we got a full row of the pilings in at 8 feet spacing, we’d nail up the horizontal 4x4s using a sledge to hammer these spikes thru the 4x4s into the pilings. The spikes were mega-nails, kinda bolt-thick.
then we’ll manhandle the 1×8 tongue-and groove planking over, jet them down into the sand similarly, and nail them up to the 4x4s
at the end you’ve got a lumber retaining wall that holds your yard in from eroding and collapsing into the bay
honest work, did me good
The final kind of operation we did was up on the ocean side, we’d sink those telephone poles they build beachfront houses on along the east coast. You see the houses standing on them after hurricanes take all the sand away.
At any rate, I started off talking about guitars and cedar
I’ve heard cedar tops are slightly mellower than spruce tops, but I’ve never had a cedar guitar
The heart wood of Red Cedar lasts a very long time.
Dead head logging-old sunken logs floated down Suwanee River recovered and used for special wood.
interesting nimrodman education is always welcomed it sounds beautiful in

Have you had a lot of coffee this morning?
Good Morning Garrison, I listened to this music going through the thread its
beautiful. There is a different sound much lighter, airy, there is a difference from
other selections you’ve shared. Also thank you for the education on guitars. Peace
Making minute top thickness changes — called “top tuning”—creates significant tonal responses. It was Torres contention, now widely accepted, that the guitar top was responsible a guitar’s unique sound.
Morning Garrison!

i guess i should’ve known ..
without revealing too much about what I do for a living … I once called a meeting with a foundation subcontractor to discuss some corrections he needed to make in a small house foundation he’d just poured … in essence to discuss … some errors/omissions he’d made. This was after the Oakland Hills fire … and he had just been paid $180k for the foundation work (in the mid 1990’s).
He was angry as a mad hatter when he pulled up to the job site in his brand new (paper dealer plates) RED corvette. Yeah … one foundation job (done poorly) … one shiny new RED corvette.
One major re-work eroding his rotten bottom line – (high five) Kenji!

Agreed. I hated the film. However the imagery has become something of a cultural touchstone for better or worse. A suggestion of over the top romance. OK … for worse. Please give me partial credit for not using the dominant imagery of the girl spread eagle in the middle of flower petals. Oh … OK … I apologize … wrong image. Wrong movie. Wrong wrong wrong. 🤦♂️

LA battles spate of ‘burglary tourists’ as marauding gangs from Chile, Ecuador Colombia and Peru jet in on 90-day visas and ransack millionaire mansions before fleeing back to South America
The Los Angeles Police Department has launched a task force to try to crack down on ‘burglary tourists’ who use the US tourism visa system to commit crimes.
Cunning criminals from Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru target wealthy neighborhoods in places with relaxed criminal justice laws to conduct home burglaries – before returning home with the loot while out on bail.
LA should spread the word about all the rich people and huge mansions on Martha’s Vineyard. One particular home owner is overseas in the UK RIGHT NOW, and they could pick the place C L E A N !!!!

THE WAY OF ABRAHAM IN FAITH
“He went out, not knowing whither he went.” Hebrews xi. 8
In the Old Testament, personal relationship with God showed itself in separation, and this is symbolized in the life of Abraham by his separation from his country and from his kith and kin. Today the separation is more of a mental and moral separation from the way that those who are dearest to us look at things, that is, if they have not a personal relationship with God. Jesus Christ emphasized this (see Luke xiv. 26).
Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One Who is leading. It is a life of FAITH, not of intellect and reason, but a life of knowing Who makes us “go”. The root of faith is the knowledge of a Person, and one of the biggest snares is the idea that God is sure to lead us to success.
The final stage in the life of faith is attainment of character. There are many passing transfigurations of character; when we pray we feel the blessing of God enwrapping us and for the time being we are changed, then we get back to the ordinary days and ways and the glory vanishes. The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting. It is not a question of sanctification; but of something infinitely further on than sanctification, of faith that has been tried and proved and has stood the test. Abraham is not a type of sanctification, but a type of the life of faith, a tried faith built on a real God. “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD.”

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. – John 13:34
The direction to love one another is not new. God gave it to the children of Israel through Moses in Leviticus 19:17-18. Yet, on the night He knew He was about to be betrayed, Jesus told His disciples He was giving them a new commandment—not just that they love one another, but the way in which they were to do it—“just as I have loved you.”
He had been their model while He was with them, and it was the pattern He expected them to follow. In sending them the Holy Spirit, they were imbued with His power by which to love one another.
Tertullian, one of the early church fathers who lived in the Roman province of Carthage during the third century, said the kind of love Christians showed to one another totally baffled non-believers. He wrote, “It is mainly the deeds of love so noble that lead many to put a brand upon us. ‘See’ they say, ‘how they love one another… How they are ready even to die for one another!’” He said the early church was of “one mind and one soul.”
Is this true of you and your fellow believers today? The secular world increasingly criticizes those who claim faith in Christ as extremists, supremacists, intolerant, divisive, and hypocritical, and the lack of love and unity among believers reinforces these claims.
Hymn lyricist Peter Scholtes wrote, “We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord… And we pray that our unity will one day be restored. And they’ll know we are Christians by our love.”
Pray for restoration to unity in the body of believers and that the Christ-like love of the new commandment would become such a way of life that, like the non-believers of the third century, people, including those in government, would be “baffled,” and long for the same thing in their lives.

“Interesting” overlap today, with mention of, Tertullian:
“…Origen and Tertullian
Origen of Alexandria, also known as Origen Adamantius, was an early Christian scholar, ascetic, and theologian who was born and spent the first half of his career in Alexandria, Egypt (c.185 – c.253). He died in Tyre, Lebanon.
Tertullian of Carthage was born in 160AD and died in Carthage 240AD. He wrote his main theological works at the turn of the third century, primarily apologetics, mainly targeting Gnostics and Marcionites. But in his Apologies, he includes An Answer to the Jews. As with most early Church fathers, his anti-Judaic works have been largely ignored by scholars but they are, frankly, an embarrassment.
The Jews, with their constant idolatry, writes Tertullian, deserve less than the Christians, who have fled idolatry to worship the true God. ”

“If you go down to the woods today
you’re sure of a big surprise
if you go down to the woods today
you’d better go in disguise”
For every Feral Cat that ever was
Will gather in the Etherial Forest
Because today’s the day
We celebrate Feral Cat’s birthday
Lucky and Doc will be there
Our Aussie friend
(who shall remain nameless)
Will be romping and having
A lovely time today
Imagine Feral Cat
riding on Mungrel’s shoulders
Whooping and Yelling
In pure Joy
“Beneath the trees where nobody sees
We’ll hide and seek as long as we please”
Cause that’s the way we celebrate
Feral Cats r birthday.
Join us
Today’s the day we celebrate
Feral Cat’s Birthday
Happy Birthday Feral Cat…miss you! 😻🍰
Thank you for this, ms Idaho. I had no idea. We feed and care for (tnr) a colony of feral kitties on our property. Today they will get a birthday treat! 🎂
hey – i can hear Feral Cat purring 🙂
It doesn’t scan.
Happy Birthday, Feral Cat! Have a fabulous pawty!
God’s Morning and blessings upon you all! I cannot stay, but I am thinking of you and lifting you in my thoughts during my labors. Easter Is coming!
Christ Has Risen! Hallelujah!
Thanks, JWoo! And blessings to you and Savannah. Must leave the tree also this am. Maybe back later.
Wow, that IS vicious. This is such a HOUSE OF CARDS and completely INSANE. I’m listening to the Riley Gaines podcast interview with Joe Rogan # 2115 – what that poor woman has gone through and interesting how accomplished her family is. This is all absurdity and should be ridiculed on blast!
Blessings Patience & Ma – to my sensical sisters.
Isn’t it funny, but really SAD … that when one simply writes the actual accounting of leftist policies … they sound certifiably insane.
Talk about being able to take a punch …
Talk about being too close to those ear chomping teeth!

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.

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
HEAL US, LORD
In the morning, we are reminded
Of what we need to do today
We try to remain broad-minded
As we attempt to make our way
As our eyes open to a new day
We think first thoughts of You
For it is You who will guide our way
Over, above, and through
Without You we would be lost
Confused in mind, body, and soul
Through this maze we would be tossed
No way we would ever be whole
What would You have us do today
Where are we needed the most
Who needs a prayer a clearway
Nearby or at a distant coast
Be we anxious or just be concerned
About another in the mind
Whose life may suddenly be upturned
Or it may be one in a bind
Whatever it is the Spirit knows
For it is He who guides us
Through many sorrows even woes
With happy blessings He abides us
Inspire us Lord as we make our way
Guide us Lord in all that we do
Make this a most prosperous day
As we praise and glorify You
Not for us do we work so hard
Not for us do we normally pray
Not for us do we stand guard
But to help another make his way
Help us, Lord, to be of service
Help us, Lord, to glorify You
Help us, Lord, not to be nervous
About what it is we must do
Open our hearts and clear our minds
Open our ears wide to listen
Help us to open the spiritual blinds
Pray for those we need to christen
Many are lost in ways unknown
They have been brought to the edge
They need to know they are not alone
They must come now off of the ledge
There is healing in the Blood of Jesus
There is healing in His mighty Word
There is healing in His love that frees us
It is by His love that we are stirred
It is You in whom we find comfort
From worldly concerns of the day
From all that brings discomfort
Help us, Lord, to drive it away
Strengthen our bodies and minds
Bring peace to those around us
Bless Your people of all kinds
Let not turmoil surround us
Heal us, Lord, as only You can do
From whatever it is that ails us
Let us not be discouraged or blue
Break up the evil that assails us
Give us peace of mind, body, and soul
Help us stand strong and not falter
Give us back that which they stole
Grant our petitions left at the altar
Bless us, Lord, and heal us
From all that would keep us aback
From all adversity seal us
Protect us from ev’ry attack
Under Your wings we are sheltered
From all that could ever harm us
With Your love we are weltered
Nothing will ever alarm us
Thank You for hearing our prayer
For guiding us on our way
For nothing could ever compare
With blessings received each day
AMEN
D01: 04/06/2022
Amen

Good morning.
Don’t think too much about this post…..
Of a bird thinking too much on a post.
From a picture we thought would be nice to post.
So we posted this post of a bird on a post that seemed suitable for posting.
Enjoy your day.

Cat died; suddenly
What are the odds that the three judge DC Appellate court in Peter Navarro’s executive privilege prison sentencing case were the three Obama nominations at the center of the “nuclear option? Approving those three judges was deemed so important that they were worth blowing up the filibuster for Senate confirmation of judicial nominees.
All three just so happened to be on Navarro’s three-judge appeal panel. Three nominees considered so radical, so overtly partisan that they never would’ve been approved without blowing up the filibuster. What are the odds?

What are the odds?
I regret I never started a log a few years back to start tracking every what are the odds, bullcrap, “coincidental”, illegal, preposterous, sneaky, under-handed, hypocritical, dirty rotten things these bastards do on a DAILY basis.

“I am Japanese. Thirty years ago, when I listened to this song when I was a kid because of my father’s influence, I was strongly attracted to the powerful song even though I didn’t understand English. As an adult, I understand the meaning of the lyrics, and this song gives me endless courage and hope. No matter how hard it may be, I want to continue walking toward hope and live.Thx, Simon & Garfunkel .Sometime at the New Jersey Turnpike.”

Just to be clear. My post about a good possibility of a tornado outbreak that I posted yesterday was about this coming Monday and not yesterday.
Once again we’re talking E. Texas, E. Oklahoma, W Arkansas and S. Missouri as being the area most likely to see nasty weather then. If the forecast changes I’ll post on it.
Probably one of the greatest blues/rock tunes few have ever heard. It should be in the Pantheon of the greatest Rock tunes ever. Headphones highly recommended.
i love this so much i don’t know what to do with myself.
3 instruments and a voice … ohhhhhh what a VOICE !! Each playing their part to perfection. Ohhhhhh that VOICE !!
