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, Garrison💕 Jolly good, my friend. Got my wake up cuppa. I’m just in the mood for this today 😘
Lots of pets and lovin’ for Little Tink on her day. Very good kitty😌
Come out
Oh my, Patience!! 😍 What could be better than a basket of kitties??? I’m thinking…nope..nothing!!!
Look at that innocent face 😌 Not a care in the world. I wish with all my heart it could be that way for all littles.
Too true
Mornin’ dear Patience. 🙂
😎

💕 💕 💕 !!!
Good morning Bet! Elizabeth and I visited Violet yesterday. She is still quite sore but had a few bites of ice cream. She talked some and then switched to writing on a pad. Got lots of hugs, one from you.
Heading to town in a few for our monthly men’s breakfast. It has quite grown. Last couple of times we had over 90 Christian men show up. Praise be to God! ❤️😍
Oh what good news, dear bro 😘 From my memories post op it takes a little while for a return to not sore. But she will be so much better for having had the dratted things out. Thank you for passing my hug along 💕 It came with a healing prayer please know 🙏🏻
So good to hear your group is growing. God is calling all of us, I am convinced. It sounds as if his voice is being heard by many. Glorious, glorious!! 🙏🏻🕊 Blessed be your day, G🤗
GOOOood mornin!!!!
Uber..happiest pic I’ll see today 😁👍🏻
Hamming it up on Caturday!
Snort 🤭😸
Mornin’ Bet. 🙂 Just had my ‘cuppa. Little ‘Tink is outside . . . she enjoys the spring weather and also enjoys being in ‘her’ yard. Good kitty.
I can picture her now 😍👍🏻
Garrison,
Tomorrow we are going to try our first cup of Bustela. I bought a bag, on your insistence of its deliciousness, at Aldi recently, thinking it would be a good thing to have on hand in case of…. I cut the package open and can tell you I am really looking forward to morning, it smells awesome. This came about due to ‘several sudden deaths in our coffee roasters’ lives’, God help them. If the coffee is as good as it smells, we will buy both from now on. Love to Tink!
One of our oldest friends is an attorney in San Juan, Puerto Rico. She was visiting a number of years ago and, knowing we liked strong coffee, told my wife and I about Cafe’ Bustelo. When I was teaching, our office coffee might as well have been “coffee substitute” it was so week. I starting making morning Bustelo on my own. Colleagues, started “visiting” my office with empty coffee ups . . .
It’s good … and strong, very similar to what we were buying, a ‘cafe espresso blend’. I’m keeping on ‘the shelf’. ☕ Thanks again!
Howdy Garrison!
Mornin’ Gramps 🙂
Hi , Pa ❣️❣️❣️
Hi Patience! ❤️
Thanks Garrison. Usually, I listen to the first minute or two of some artist playing the Bach’s Chaconne, then pause it and pull up Segovia’s classic recording comparing, then finish listening to the Segovia.
In this case however, I listened and found Tomasz’s playing to be what it should be. I liked his approach – fearless and innovative.
Also, thanks for highlighting Charles Trepat’s work a couple days ago. The ladies of guitar have stolen the spotlight for sure, but there a few hombres who are carrying the torch!
I hope you are feeling just wonderful as I believe you deserve. I especially appreciate your words of encouragement to Christians and those who are searching – presenting the gospel as simply and beautifully as it can be.
Be well, my friend!
I agree that Segovia’s reading of the Chaconne is the preferred standard. Having had the gift of hearing his live performances on several occasions, listening to his recordings always have a special significance . . .
I very much appreciate your comment about my benediction comments. My sense of religion is very personal and direct . . . Basically, I just describe what I feel. I don’t see it as formal ‘religion’ as much as belief. For me, there’s a very personal difference.
Happy Caturday, all y’all !
known as chimera cats, the article said
and an old favorite
One more, nim! They come in all colours 😊
And since we’re on that subject…
What do you know!!! It works!!! 😃👍🏻
Brothers from another mother 💕
Enough toe beans to go around!!
(Okay, Woo…come out, come out wherever you are, girl. This one’s for you! 🤗
I luvs da beanz!!!!
We trim our own cats’ claws, thus spend a lot of time working with them and their paws, so they let us do it. One way, is to “tickle” their paws between their toe beans when they are relaxing with you. They will take and spread their toes and relish the attention while you do it. It is the cutest thing ever.
Da beanz.
Wow!!! Now that’s something we never attempted with our moggies.
We’re cowards 😂!!
Get ’em used to it while they’re young. When you have one sleeping in your lap near you, just start by massaging their little paws. As you begin to tickle their little toes, they will extend out their paws like fingers. It’s darling. They don’t mind.
I think our Welsh barn cats who chose us to take care of them might not have.minded.
But Texas ferals??
Uh…no!
😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬
Texas ferals sharpen their claws on cacti and longhorns. Lol
Mornin’ Woo
Looks like Bets smoked you out! Wow – you should hire out for that nail trimming. I’ll line mine up!
I knew she’d see them, Corny 😉😎💕 Nothing catches her attention like toe beans 😁
Just for you, sis 😘
Thank you, Dear Friend
Oh My Heart! That baby is literally too cute for words. 🫏 My little online and farmers market business was called Laughing Burros. They do that a lot – but catching them in the act can be difficult.
We’re going out this afternoon, and if we take a little detour, (not even a question) we get to see the miniature burros on a little ranch nearby. So precious. ❤️
Well, I want one!!!! 😍😍😍
I loved taking little detours when we were in Wales. There would always be more direct ways to get to where we were going. But we always took what we called “the scenic route” and were never disappointed. We’d always stumble on a country pub for lunch or an out of the way Fish n Chips shoppe. Many memorable hours on our ramblings.
Evenin’ Bets
Yep, took the detour, and said hi to the mini burros. It brings some sweet memories – a few of them are miniatures of our Lordy and Annabel. They are so smart, charming, funny and independent. It’s unfortunate that they are sometimes seen as buffoons, because they have such dignity. 😢
I would be happy! I’ve got the best helper, too, when trying to wrangle the Coon and we have to do a “butts up!” routine for the hinds feet.
OK, Woo,
But I’m still having bandages available.
LOL!!!!!
A while later
LOL!!!!! Can’t fault him 😂
😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂
Good morning, Bets.
Again your finds are so delightful!
It’s so funny, Woo. Last CATURDAY I said to Corny that every week after I post my finds I worry I won’t find enough for the next. Someone heard me, because this week I found so many that had I posted them all we would be on page 3 of our thread already LOL!!
Holding some in abeyance for next week 😁👍🏻💕
These are great, Bets. I’m pretty sure you have a not so secret admirer who will surely keep you supplied! 😉
My “dealer”!!! 😎
You must have one of those newfangled, fancy, dancy super computers with a load of SPACE!
Kindle, Woo. It has LOADS of space!!!
These are precious. I don’t know where you find them all but you are the meme dealer extraordinaire!
I must have been bad? Now in moderation a lot!
Been there. Suddenly and inexplicably. When it happens I just assume my comment will go bye bye forever.
When I go to that place I re-read to see if perhaps there’s a word the algos take exception to, but I never see one.
🤔 Whoever knows…
That’s a Nebelung bird – one of my very favorite kinds!
Trust you to know (she said, writing it down) 😎😉
What kind of plant is this?
My app which is really good at identifying the unidentifiable has sent this…
🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔
– the nearest thing to heaven
Looks like the poor kitty just wants to go outside.
Living in a high rise, that spider plant is a natural haven.
Looks sort of high up. How on earth did he get there one wonders??
Bets
Searched high and low a few nights ago for one of my indoor kitties – finally, Nigel poked his head out of a box of MREs on a tippy top shelf.
Phew! Meal ready to eat?!!!
😨
Hahahahahaaa!!! How on earth do they find these hidey holes??? I swear they get a lot of pleasure watching you look 😂
Awww
You can almost hear WC Fields – “my little chickadee.”
Oh very good!!!
Or they’re hearing the voice of Someone speaking to them. My first thought 💕
Oops!! I see I’ve repeated! But mine has a name tag!! 😎
Repetition
GAWGEOUS!!! 💕 And worth repeating.👍🏻
Betsy, I love cats! 💕 Thanks!
You are so welcome, Pms !! 😁 You landed in the right place then…every Saturday is CATURDAY!! You’ll be among friends who feel the same (as you can see 💕).
Good deal! 💕
💕 👍🏻 😁
Mornin’ Bets
Hard not to stare, Venus is so stunning!
I didn’t post , sis, but there was an accompanying photo of her paws. As you would expect, they were the same to match her face. Split right down the middle!
Much sweeter than a chimera retrovirus. The top one would probably hypnotize me.
happy caturday nim ♥️
kingpin
Snug as a bug in a rug 😊
Loving these chimera cuties. It appears they all have heterochromia, which is having irises of different coloration. In people, that is usually a benign condition (rarely it’s a sign of some pathology.)
I wonder if the heterochromia is a feature of them all. Must look into it!
Very peculiar reunion ritual
Reunion result
They mate for life. In Britain it is an prosecutable offence to harm any swan. This is a heart warmer, Feisty 😌
how awesome is this love abounds… Feisty I don’t know how you find this but thank you Peace

Some decades ago, I made three adventures to the Rock, or Newfoundland, twice to St. John’s/Trinity Bay/Conception Bay North, and once to the Great Northern Penninsula/Gros Morne/L’Anse au Meadows.
Newfoundlanders were among the most welcoming people I have encountered in my travels.
Here is an antique postcard of Newfoundland Bankers.
What may you ask is a Newfoundland Banker?
There isn’t a link? Some friends of mine were on their honeymoon, 9/11 happened and they were diverted to Newfoundland, they were in awe at how great everyone was to them.
the link is broken
My apologies for the broken link. Here it is: https://chrishydeservices.com/newfoundland-bankers/
Interestingly the last time I was in Newfoundland was a week before 9/11.
During my first visit, I hitch hiked and the last two days, I was taken in for meals and given a place to crash a couple nights in a row. Truly the most hospitable people I have ever encountered.

Israel Update:
While the main news is the suspense of the imminent Iranian revenge and a million threats and fears and the IDF keeps fighting in Gaza and killing terrorists and capturing more and more weapons and munitions. And some massive rocket attack from Lebanon with a proper response.
Today I worked extra hard for my Last Refuge friends and without doubt the interview that I translated for you will make you more informed than most people who didn’t view this.
As you may know by now, when I can bring first hand information from people who are at the front lines or decision makers I always prefer it over “experts”.
There was a feeling of a grind grind, with slow motion and endless back and forth hostage negotiation. Many IDF soldiers were pulled out.
The vacuum created guesses and theories.
The interview was on Channel 14.
I don’t have much opinion about the man himself but the point is that he is one of the closes to Netanyahu.
Every time I see videos of the small War Cabinet he sits next to Bibi.
His name is Tzachi Hanegbi.
His position is the Head of the MALLAL or in English the NSC (National Security Council).
His is the Chief Security Advisor of the Prime Minister, in reality he is more of the main liaison of the Prime Minister.
When the Prime Minister or Cabinet decide something he is the liaison to the rest of the Defense Establishment.
He and Ron Dermer were suppose to visit the US and persuade the Biden’s Administration to back up the invasion to Rafah eventually it was on the phone or internet but he is probably going to the US shortly.
He gave a first hand answers to Why the delay exactly and will we enter Rafah for real?
What is really going on with the Hostage Deal negotiations?
What are the “nots” and “yeses” that are the guiding policies of Bibi?
What is the projection of how long this war was planned to take?
Are things going according to plans so far?
On many of the questions I did well in briefing you and he confirms. But a lot was based on analysis and
hearing it from him gives certainty because he knows exactly what and why they are doing what they are doing.
In a perfect world you could take what he said and have a perfect prediction but there are still a few variables like a potential war with Iran that will change everything. The internal division and unrest can change things. Political moves that can make the government fall can change. Bad moves of Biden could also be a variable.
So we’re getting the best picture that we can under the circumstances.
Now, this was a lot of work and I didn’t get to side check it so I am hoping that I didn’t do any major typos. let me know.
Hopefully I won’t get falged with Copyrights , if so I will have to remove it.
I hope it’s not too hard to follow as far as speed of reading. There we go:
🇮🇱☀️🇮🇱. David: Shabbat Shalom.
I really appreciate the time you took to both translate and do the text graphics on this detailed and helpful video for us!
I slowed down the playback speed and it worked great.
May God protect all of Israel and comfort her citizens and visitors.
Amen. 🙏
Shalom.
Thank you. ❤️
That was a great job translating a conversation very full of information – it clarified so much. So good to hear it!
Hoping all carries through as stated and the government of USA stays firm with all that they said.
Thank you so much David for all that work and for all your postings every day! I appreciate them so very much.
❤️
I just happened to have caught this op-ed over at INN, but would refer you to the source link instead…very good graphics about Israel everchanging history and the political upheaval they have encountered on the way to becoming the current nation today.
Moving the goalposts
https://catchjcp.substack.com/p/moving-the-goalposts
The article ends with this message:
The purpose of this history lesson is to illustrate how the Jews will never make the world happy. We can give them cell phones, pill cams, Waze, relativity, psychoanalysis, and 10 moral laws which form the backbone of liberal Western Civilization, but nothing we do will ever be enough. There will always be something else we could have done, something we could have done better, or something we should never have done at all. The double-standard is outrageous.
Thus, like Israel, we ought to stop rationalizing, justifying, and asking to be loved. We must put our heads down, do the hard work, protect ourselves, prepare ourselves for a difficult future, and believe in what we are doing.
The truth is, we ourselves have never been satisfied, but that is what keeps us innovating, growing, learning, and improving. Whether the world recognizes what motivates us or not, we will never stop. We aren’t going anywhere.
Yes! Please, Israel, QUIT trying to appease everyone else–especially the stupid U.S. government–and do what you need to do.
P.S. I would make a lousy diplomat!
But a great statesman.
Kudzu: Yes, indeed. As for diplomats, for the most part, they are an impediment to progress on almost any issue.
Thank you.
Unfortunately one of the mess ups that were exposed in this war is that Israel let itself be in a positions of dependency on American munitions. We may or may not have enough to finish in Gaza but not enough to deal with Hezbollah and resupply. So now there are project to start manufacture bombs for airplanes and more for tanks but it will take time to begin maybe a year or more. A time that we don’t have. Biden is using this to pressure us to stop or move slow and carefully. Therefore Bibi is constantly working of getting agreements. So now he offered a good hostage deal and is starting to take care of the humanitarian aspect so now he is close to get an agreement on the to Rafah. Also realize that the US constantly veto UN resolutions. Otherwise we could have a resolution for a Palestinian state. Resolutions who label us as prohibited to trade and weapon purchases etc…
They could push us to isolation like the South Africa was way back.
Advanced nation can’t survive alone. The strategic alliance with the US is very valuable.
Israel is the second or third most traded Nation in the NASDAC the stock market in the US. A lot is at stake.
But this Israeli Administration is getting the US too involved in the war. They choose the path of alliance but too much so. It’s unprecedented.
David: Israel’s dependence on US arms was not a mess up. It was intentional, ideological, political, and corrupt. The dependence has its roots in decades of leftist Israeli government, with former IDF officials who went into government and used their US relationships to amass political power and wealth. Bibi has also been guilty, because he was so focused on the “Start-up Nation” that he put too much emphasis on Israeli high-tech defense solutions, and neglected (or starved) the IDF’s all-important ground forces and Israel’s stockpiles of conventional armamements.
Hamas rejects Israel’s ceasefire response as Iran sends drones to Israel
After more than six months of war with Israel in Gaza, the negotiations remain deadlocked, with Hamas sticking to its demands that any agreement must end the war.

David,
The Obama and Biden appeasement policies regarding Iran: not to mention billions in bribery bucks paid, have brought us to this point.
Skulduggery at the highest echelons. Sickening
True. They released the sanctions which made Iran rich.
Additionally they showed weakness with the bad withdraw from Afghanistan which showed dictators that it’s a good time to act. There was a domino effect. Additionally while Trump bypassed the Palestinians and expanded the circle of peace (the Abraham Accord), Biden got close with the Palestinian Authority and still is. So no peace under Biden.
World dictators see his weakness now and I am afraid we may see more war before he US elections.
China in Taiwan, Iran, N. Korea, etc…
Sadly, David
All good points.

Stabbing at Bondi Junction shopping centre. (Saturday afternoon)
The news says 9 were stabbed and 5 dead. A 9 month baby was included in those stabbed, along with the mum.
The attacker was shot dead by police.
Some heroes ran to help ♥️
I still haven’t called my parents, because their usual routine would not have them there. I will call later and assume for now that all my people are ok.
No information from the news on the attacker as yet. But there are pictures. His knife was very big.
Update:
1. Spoke to my mum, they are fine, as expected.
2. The police have said the attacker was known to police, but they haven’t formally identified him. Except they said he was 40yo.
3. The mum of the 9 month old has also now died, bringing the total to 6 dead, plus the attacker. And I believe there’s at least one or two still critical.
Rach, I saw elsewhere from another Aussie that the killer was Arabic.
Would Australian officials be corrupt enough to deny this as a terror attack if in fact it was a terror attack?
Good on your policewoman taking him out.
Which, by the way…….if indeed this is a terror attack, it would be a disgrace for the guy to die at the hands of a woman.
Good!
And good on her for running TO the problem and solving it…..PERMANENTLY.
Evil finds a way. Take all the guns away, from any country, and you still have to deal with people doing evil.
Fight crime, shoot back.
I’m guessing Australia has a similar maxim to us about bringing a knife to a gunfight….
Prayers for the dead and wounded, and their families.
Thanks Greg. I don’t trust the cops to be honest at all. They have been pro Pali and anti Jew since the Oct 7 attack – including with that despicable display at the Sydney Opera House.
As for the man who did this, I have seen a lot of claims he is Muslim, but it all just looks like unfounded claims.
Personally, I believe it could be an Islamist attack, but I’m holding off until there’s further details.
I also wonder if he is somehow another problem for the government, like a recent import. But this is all just speculation. Dad reckons it might be unrelated. But he’s also just guessing.
But it is undoubtedly dodgy that the cops say he’s known but they haven’t formally identified him.
Also, Bondi Junction has a large Jewish population. This may be relevant if it is an Islamist attack.
“I also wonder if he is somehow another problem for the government, like a recent import.”
I was gonna mention that but ended up rambling and left it out.
And then………this:
“But it is undoubtedly dodgy that the cops say he’s known but they haven’t formally identified him.”
That’s telling……..miiiiighty telling.
Much like how a bunch of shootings here have had info released about these people being know to the FBI…..and nothing was done to stop the evil.
Glad your parents are ok!
Yes – I also think it’s very telling that the cops withhold his identity.
I just don’t trust anyone.
I was actually stuffing around online trying to see if some people in society somehow managed to identify him. I trust the internet people much more than the cops. But I have so far come up empty.
Anyway, bedtime for me. Have a lovely day my friend ♥️
Update:
The name of the stabber has been released. A guy named Joel, who traveled down from Queensland last month.
No known motive at this stage and his family are cooperating with police.

WHAT TO DO UNDER THE CONDITIONS
“Cast thy burden upon the Lord.” Psalm lv. 22
We must distinguish between the burden-bearing that is right and the burden-bearing that is wrong. We ought never to bear the burden of sin or of doubt, but there are burdens placed on us by God which He does not intend to lift off, He wants us to roll them back on Him. “Cast that He hath given thee upon the Lord.” (R.V.marg.) If we undertake work for God and get out of touch with Him, the sense of responsibility will be overwhelmingly crushing; but if we roll back on God that which He has put upon us, He takes away the sense of responsibility by bringing in the realization of Himself.
Many workers have gone out with high courage and fine impulses, but with no intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ, and before long they are crushed. They do not know what to do with the burden, it produces weariness, and people say – “What an embittered end to such a beginning!”
“Roll thy burden upon the Lord” – you have been bearing it all; deliberately put one end on the shoulders of God. “The government shall be upon His shoulder.” Commit to God “that He hath given thee”; not fling it off, but put it over on to Him and yourself with it, and the burden is lightened by the sense of companionship. Never disassociate yourself from the burden.

Annie Jump Cannon
(1863-1941)
American astronomer (Henry Draper catalogues), dies at 77
Biography: Annie Jump Cannon was an American astronomer and early figure in the field of stellar classification. She is best known for her work on the Harvard Classification Scheme, which organized stars based on their temperatures and spectral types. Her ability to classify stars quickly and accurately earned her the title “Census Taker of the Sky.”
Cannon was born in Dover, Delaware, in 1863. Her mother encouraged her to study mathematics, chemistry, and biology at Wellesley College, where she graduated with a degree in physics in 1884. Despite losing most of her hearing due to scarlet fever in her early adult years, Cannon was not swayed from her pursuit of astronomy.
In 1896, Edward C. Pickering hired Cannon as an assistant at the Harvard College Observatory, where she became a member of the Harvard Computers, a group tasked with completing the Henry Draper Catalogue.
She created the Harvard Classification Scheme, which was adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1922. Cannon collaborated with Cecilia Payne, who used Cannon’s data to show that stars are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium.
Throughout her career, Cannon received numerous awards and honors, including becoming the first woman to receive honorary doctorates from the University of Groningen in 1921 and Oxford University in 1925.
She was also awarded the Henry Draper Medal in 1931 and the Ellen Richards Prize in 1932. Cannon advocated for women in science and helped pave the way for future female astronomers. She died in Cambridge, Massachusetts at the age of 77, having manually classified around 350,000 stars, more than anyone else in her lifetime.
Verse of the Day for Saturday, April 13, 2024
✟
“Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.”
2 Timothy 1:13 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
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
HELP ME, LORD
Hear my prayer, O Lord – please hear my cry;
Hide not Thy face from me – stand closely by;
Incline Thine ear to me – answer my call;
For I am helpless in my wherewithal!
My days are consumed – in pain, I move not;
My heart beats in vain – overwhelmed, besought;
I struggle to breathe – I implore Your aid;
Begging for mercy – and yet, unafraid!
Strengthen me, Lord – as only You know how;
Send forth Thy Comforter to help me now;
Send forth the angels to hold me upright;
Help me, Lord – Help me to live, love, and fight!
The enemy plagues me both day and night;
His demons work to discourage me right;
He taunts me, haunts me, and laughs at my pain;
My prayers he sees worthless – and all in vain!
Be it Your will – with Your power and might;
Remove this affliction – far out of sight;
Defeat the devil – his power disband;
Help me, Lord – with Your Healing Hand!
You called me, Lord – in Your Service to be;
Your minister, Lord – bring people to Thee;
How can I manage – for people to care?
With this heart sorely in need of repair?
I ask not for me this healing take place;
I ask not this suffering You erase;
I ask only to stand for You, O Lord;
To bring others to You in one accord!
If in this state, You still want me to serve;
If it be Your will, my heart you preserve;
Whatever you decide – I will endure;
With You by my side – of that I am sure!
Help me, Lord to accept what You decide;
In You and with You – I long to abide;
Through You and for You – my heart is alive;
Heal me, Lord – Help me – to live, love, and thrive!

So heart rending, and so relatable to everyone at some point in their lives.
You are a treasure!

love you Duchess and grateful heart says thank you. These beautiful images and
words should be sprinkled about in the threads. It gives pause to breathe. Peace
When your hatred for one man is greater than your love for our country, you might be part of the problem. Joe Biden will be for ever known as the open border President who let in 9.5 million unvetted illegals form 140 different countries enough military age Chinese men to start a war from within.. Let that sink in……. All true.
Get ready Pennsylvania!!
President Trump is coming there today and he is bringing his rally team.
President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will deliver remarks at a Rally in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. EDT. You can watch LIVE on RSBN starting at 3:00pm ET.
RSBN’s coverage is normally carried here on the Treehouse and can also be found at the RSBN website.
https://www.rsbnetwork.com
There is nothing like a President Trump Rally’s coverage from 4 hours before he comes on stage until he wraps it up. RSBN’s reporters interview the people standing in line and will show the crowd standing in line and then inside after they fill up the venue.
Pennsylvania, officially the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, has “Keystone State” as its nickname. It was the “Keystone State”, because it was the middle colony of the original thirteen colonies, and because Pennsylvania has held a key position in the economic, social, and political development of the United States.
Pennsylvania’s motto, Virtue, Liberty and Independence, first appeared on the Pennsylvania coat of arms designed by Caleb Lownes in 1778.
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and the GOPe!”
Thank you Cactus this was very helpful in learning about our States please
keep doing this. God Bless America Peace
Sharing an email I received from Brian Bason, the developer of the BARK app for parents. His email address is [email protected]. Their website is: https://www.bark.us/
I have personally used this APP with Savannah for a couple of years. Savannah is aware of it being installed on her phone and we have a mutual understanding and respect for it.
This APP has alerted me to many instances that created good discussions between me and Savannah regarding other students’ risky behavior, abusive language or situations, bullying and threats.
The APP costs about $100 a year, but it is worth every single penny.
If you can spread this around about their work with this legislation. We should do all we can to help them out. Good group.
For Liberty and Our Children!
Fellow parents,
I started Bark nearly 9 years ago with the mission to make the internet a safer place for our kids. We’ve made a lot of progress since then, but we continue to see substantial indifference to our kids’ safety from many of the most popular social platforms, who care more about their profits than our children’s well-being. I am excited to share that we now have a moment in time to work together to change that.
This Wednesday morning, there is a Congressional hearing for Sammy’s Law, which would require companies like Snapchat and TikTok to give parents the ability to use safety products like Bark for their kids’ accounts on those platforms. Sammy’s Law has the power to save tens of thousands of children’s lives from preventable tragedies by empowering parents to keep their kids safer online.
But passing any bill in Congress is not easy, and getting Sammy’s Law passed is going to take us all working together. I’m writing to ask you to take two quick steps that will dramatically help:
Both of these take tasks less than five minutes and will make a HUGE difference in helping to get Sammy’s Law passed. If you’re willing, please forward this email to your family and friends and ask them to do the same.
Thank you for your help, and I’m excited about working together to make the internet safer for our kids!
thank you Woo for action information Peace
God morning, Treeper family!!!!
I have a “Living Our Best Lives – Article 3” to post, but won’t be able to do it until a bit later. Optometry appt at 10:15 AM.
Wanted to swing in and say “howdy” though.
My dear, sweet, young-enough-to-be-my-daughter friend, talked me out of the adopting the puppy-girl, Rosie. I’ve been doing a lot of binge reading on the Husky breed and their prey instincts, because of our wayward elder cat who is bound to pick a hissy fit with her and then bolt… would likely inspire chases that could end (cat)astrophically.
She has raised two Huskies from puppies and she gently warned me that they don’t really grow into their unique personalities and behavior tendencies until about 1 or 2 years of age. She thought it too much of a risk with us only having one week to return her to her litter mates should things go really south.
Thus, we will return the four foot baby gate, the toys, the teethers, the food and we are a bit sad… but it really inspires us to save up for another home with land of our own, so that we have more room for such an adoption. We don’t want our poor newcomer kenneled and confined in a large bathroom indefinitely with less opportunities for each of the fur children to evacuate from each other should it be necessary.
She told me that the dog would likely develop fear of the cats! Which, I believe her.
I am so grateful for good and faithful friends who go out on a limb to speak Truth to me and who help guide me in making decisions. I sure have much to learn.
We so very much want a dog and Savannah’s ready for that friendship and time investment, but we do love our hardship case Timmy. When he passes away and when we move from this place, we will have more freedom. He has given us many good years and he deserves the respect to age in peace and quiet.
What a missed opportunity, though, Rosie is a little doll. Her mom is supposedly the “laziest” Husky her owner has ever had. The father does give chase, but never catches and tends to leave wildlife alone. She’s going to make someone an awesome dog. They’ve just learned how to climb out of their enclosures – at 10 weeks!
Oh Woo
It will happen when the time is right. 🙏
Oh Corny…
I just “happened” on finding her. Then, her owners are keeping one of the black puppies and naming her “Kira” which was the name of my old husky. We decided on “Rosie” and she tells me that her daughter named her Guinea Pig “Rosie”. There were so many coincidences – it felt “meant to be”….
But the writing is on the wall – especially when we were going to resort to testing Tim out on the neighbor dog. We knew he just wouldn’t have it in him to get so upset, then thinking he could get sick with it (litter box, missing meals, anxiety). I even purchased $80 of the Feliway to calm his nerves.
I think I WAS looking forward to her more than Savannah – especially the more active lifestyle that comes with having a dog.
Thankful for our friend who knocked some sense into me. Will be glad for the days when the lion can lay down with the lambs.
There’s a match out there. Possibly even an older pup who is accustomed to kitties. 🐶 😺
Mornin’ all!
Happy “cartoons and cereal day” everyone.
for levi, and all other silent tree branchers who are in our thoughts and prayers.
peace to all who gather here, and thank you Jesus for our joy in being together.

Good morning, PSALM 105:33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise
to my God while while I have my being.

Good one!
I love this photo, Patience.
A charming cat toy!
I would like some larger pillows in the knitted heart pattern for my home. ♡
Patience,
My 2 youngest kitties were bottle fed at 2 weeks after their mama was found dead. 😔 I started out fostering – they are now 3 year olds: Winston and Nigel and such an endearing part of our family. Surprise, surprise, surprise 😮 😺
Sweet!
