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 †

hello
I heard papa tell mama
Let that boy boogie-woogie
‘Cause it’s in him
And it GOT to come out
— Boogie Chillun
goes great w/ my fire tonight ♥️
Oh Annie… can we come over? I so miss our fire table. Not allowed where I live.
I need very little in life: my Bible, a campfire, and a blanket and some cocoa, coffee, or tea.
For me, tis bliss.
Mornin’ Woo
Yes, there is something almost primeval about campfires – very soothing.
We have several fire rings we made out of old wash tubs we removed from dead washing machines. They work well due to all the holes allowing oxygen to pour in – and they’re cheap!
Corny,
Your home and your animals sounds like Utopia to me. We are in a single story, spacious, double car garage apartment – after losing our home thanks in part to Obamacare. We’ve been here going on three years now and it’s tough to get used to the everupdating, overencroaching rules.
In all fairness, I didn’t have a ton of room in my old place – it was a postage stamp lawn, but it had its own irrigation and the most glorious gardens. Was very pedestrian friendly, so had lots of folks come by, well-wishers, gawking at the flowering, fragrant gardens. I would go out and pull weeds in the rain – so cathartic getting my hands in the dirt.
Some day. Hoping there is a little patch of dirt with my name on it that we could have some nice gardens again. Dreaming. But I must stay busy in the here and now, so as not to “dream too much”. Acceptance and contentment MUST be my mantra.
We must go CAMPING soon!!!! Need to indulge the draw towards nature and out of suburb.
Oh, Woo
We do so love our little patch, but, in fairness, it’s a ton of work. Only sorta keeps me out of trouble! With my husband almost out of commission, I’m trying to hang in by myself.
Just planted tomatoes though. Yay! Squash and cucumbers next. We used to have a huge veggie garden, but we are no longer up to it. I’m planning on trying to post pics to you, but my tutor is not here, and I become an imbecile! My roses are so wonderful, I would like to share.
I am sure this will happen for you, and I pray that it will. You are such a giving caring person, the Father will provide your wish. I know it – and 🙏 for it. ❤️
Looking forward to seeing your roses, Friend.
🌹 ❤️
Don’t remember if I said good mornin’ . . . Oh well, good afternoon then. This day started poorly. My little phone fell out of my pocket and I to use my land line to find it. Lots of back and forth. Fortunately, it was under my desk here in my study. Be well, love.
You did offer your sweet salutations indeedy!
I think you subliminally threw your phone to the ground. It’s what I do with mine… lol.
Ha ha – I WISH! I could chuck all my electronics into the lake behind me without a care in the world. I’m OVER technology.
you would be welcome anytime j..
anytime ♥️
and of course savanna also !
(swoon) – now who’s got a guitar that can serenade us woman-folk? oh yeah – Garrison!!!! LOL
Down Home
As did the 50s precede the 60s …
… so did hippy precede the hippies
Swingin’ times, y’all
Actually the beatniks preceded the hippies… but I get your play on words……
I always wondered if it wasn’t so much the hips as it was the girdle-cinched waists that exaggerated the hip widths….
I opened my bible a bit ago and what were the very first words my eyes fell upon?
“… never seen anything like this before!” 🙂
I got a big smile and a giggle.
Mk 2 NLT
So CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE !!!!
Stunning LANDSCAPING !!!
So sweet. I’m down with it.
The best babysitters ever, and better than a jump chair.
i adore this video …..
i didn’t know that marty robbins drove a car in nascar from 1962 – 1982
Thanks for sharing. Interesting history associated with his songs.
i’m glad you enjoyed it intense ♥️
Israel Update:
-The questions are: Will Israel react to the Iranian attack? When and how?
The answer is : Nobody knows accept the leadership and even they are likely to have various opinions. So since I hate speculations I will keep this report short.
Bibi will have to do something. But nobody wants a regional war so it must be measured.
-Something that was not noticed – Israeli Military Intelligence must clean up its leadership. The main General over it messed up on 10/7. He was in a vacation in a hotel and was woken up with a report. He said “it must be Hamas doing a drill” and went back to sleep.
This man , Aharon Haliva, should have been fired on 10/8. He is despised across Israel now.
But he was kept because there is a war. The future investigation will surely target him too. Why am I saying it?
The recent Iranian attack is a miscalculation of the Intelligence. They failed to calculate that the assassination of the an Iranian generals in Damascus will cause Iran to change its policy and attack like this. They need a cleanup. I am sure it’s more than one person.
-Today Israel bombed a lot in North Gaza. This tells you that some Hamas came back.
We will see if this new way of war is going to work, it has pros and cons, the withdrawal and use of raids. At least we don’t have daily casualties.
Also the Central Gaza city Nusireit had heavy fights. I saw a video with relentless machine gun sounds and bombs. It is one of two Central Gaza cities that are not yet handled. The IDF is messing them up really bad at the moment.
-IDF is raiding 9 cities in the West Bank. Arresting terrorist. Anyone violently resisting is usually killed.
-The Defense Minister is now working on getting the evacuation of Rafah started.
He briefed an IDF liaison and others. When I see it on the ground I will let you know.
-Hamas rejected the Hostage deal again. Now they want to release only 20 hostages and release countless terrorists and want us to withdraw. Washington finally made a statement that Hamas is the obstacle. Good morning Washington.
-On a positive note. The whole Iranian drama worked in the benefit of Israel. Mysterious are the ways of God. The West stood with us again. The regional military alliance worked well and became more solid. The attention shifted from Gaza. Israel US relations improved which may now open the road to finish the job in Gaza without so much consequences to the relations. And Iran was exposed and made to come out of hiding.
The Arab world watched a powerful display of Israel against the attack.
Overall things got better for now. Unfortunately when we are on the victim side we get affinity and when we attack we get resistance. But I take the up motion as a win.
I don’t see Israel clapping back at Iran until they’re ready to obliterate Iran’s underground nuclear fuel manufacturing bunkers
Hopefully Israel has bunker-busting / hyper-baric type weapons that allow them to stop short of the nuclear threshold
I almost made a massive update about Iran’s nuclear operation but it was requiring a whole day of research.
There are about 18 related sites all over Iran including uranium mining sites and research facilities.
The production facilities, where the thousands of centrifuges are underground. Apparently a key one was burned in 2020 (Mossad) and they rebuilt it into a mountain some 330 feet underground , a huge facility.
The only bunker buster bomb that is capable to get in about 200 feet and then explode, as far as I know, is the American GBU57. Because it must be very heavy to penetrate so deep only the B airplanes carry it (B2).
It will require two of those to destroy the site that is the deepest.
I don’t think that Israel has it or the B2. Israel has been begging for it for many years but the US knows why and didn’t give it. But Israel has some bunker buster bombs that were used on tunnels in Gaza.
Israel has been worried and working on a solution for decades so I won’t be surprised if we have something but it is not published. This is why I said that we need the US for such an operation.
Now they are spreading many surface to air missiles so it will be hard to fly over there without a surprise.
Israel showed in Syria that it can target the SAM 300 surface to air missiles so an attack may require a preliminary attack on the SAM batteries. It’s not simple to do so far away. The strike jets will be heavy and not cope easily with enemy jets. But it can be done. Israel thought about all those things. I don’t think now is the time for such an operation when all of Iran’s army is on standby.
thx for the sober and knowledgeable assessment, David
I’m prone to glib pronouncements, I should be more careful what I trouble you with
but your evaluation IS now on the record, so others can now realize how little chance there is for it, beyond just me
Thank you for the humble response. It’s reflecting well on your personality.
This video is only for people with strong hearts. And it’s not violence.
NYC has a lot of problems. It is a symptom of a wider problem. But NYC is a mess, one of my Telegram groups is showing daily things from NYC and the crime and violence and Hamas supporters.
In the video you see the yellow flag of Hezbollah (it’s like waving an ISIS flag).
What strikes me is that America let them in and they are so ungrateful. If it’s of any comfort, in Europe it’s a lot worse.
Forget it, Jake … it’s Chinatown
America and American cities are going to hell in a handbasket
Democrats run them and allow crime to run unconstrained
They won’t jail n3gros for ANY crime, regardless of severity or depravity
They won’t restrain illegal aliens from attacking police physically and plundering taxpayer resources – hotels, meals, prepaid debit cards … on and on
They won’t curtail “protestors” advocating for death to America, death to Israel, death to Jews, death to whitey … you name it
You’ll have to let it go, David … America is on a steep downward slide … quite likely irretrievable
Be thankful you’re still permitted to have a conservative head of state … they’ve yanked that permission from us … until November and the next 4 years reveal our forward path
But you’ll have to get over your shock at behavior like you’ve pointed out … it’s the new normal from here on out, barring Divine intervention
This is a good comment! But it’s too early to know the longer future.
America has some advantages that we don’t have:
1.A balanced Supreme Court.
2.A Constitution.
3.Checks and ballances.
4.States. Each state can keep its own rules and management.
Keep your head up and do what you can legally do.
David: America’s leftists and Uniparty collaborators ignore 1, 2, 3 and 4 (the last, depending on the circumstances)
Nim, Succinct,sad, true.
David: It was not Americans who let those people in. It was people such as Obama, and now, Biden. Not Americans!
Biden not American?

Joe Rogan who became anti Israel is getting some education. When you’re having the power of reaching many millions of people it carries the responsibility of verifying what you’re talking about. It’s a really good video
☀️🇮🇱🎶 Thank you for showing us this video, David.
Who is this guy speaking so clearly and knowledgeably with Joe Rogan?
Great clip.
God bless us all worldwide with more and more clarity and willingness to adjust our point of view.
Amen🙏
Good morning, IHYN, David, and Treeps!
This is Coleman Hughes – Joe Rogan Experience Podcast # 2130
Going to listen to it in full today.
Intro says Coleman is a writer and podcaster “Coleman’s Corner” substack. Author of the book “The End of Race Politics: Arguments for Colorblind America”
Interesting interaction between Coleman Hughes and The View
I just lost a few dozen brain cells while the nasty racists were insulting Coleman Hughes. He handled it very well despite constantly being interrupted.
I can’t believe “The View” is still on the air. Geesh.
Agree! It HAS to be propped up by Leftwing money unless they are selling ads for big $$, and I had no clue about the size of their viewership…until I read this article to find some facts in my reply to you. It’s rather distressing, seeing how many people still waste time listening to this ugly biased gaslighting, lying, and irrational hysterics.
(Now to be sure, IDK if this source can even be trusted to provide factual stats but they’re probably as accurate as any other sources that provide or discuss TV show ratings.)

Mornin’ dear, ‘Woo. 🙂
Blessed Morning, Garrison,
I saw your upsetting message yesterday about being put into moderation. It was happening to me frequently, too, however I am also tending to many other MAJOR software data issues locally as a part of my work. When one uses financial programs every single day – multiple times a day – it is easy to notice when “something is not working properly”.
I don’t fault TCTH or the admins, because this appears to be a “Big Tech Data” fight – but the daily grind of finding workarounds gets pretty old, pretty quick. I’m there…
However, if you were to leave, the way it appears Kenji and so many others have left, I would be terribly sad. I’ve kind of “adopted” you.
To be cut off from you and our other beautiful Tree-dwellers here, would push me into a state of great sadness, which is… of course… what the “evildoers” want – to disrupt our unity.
That said, I believe our GOD IS SUPREME, THE ALPHA AND OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END and we who have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, take refuge under His Righteous and Saving Wings.
Should we all lose track of one another, we remain in each other’s minds and prayers for one another and in God’s Perfect Timing, He Will make things right again. I expect a glorious homecoming when we all get to Heaven.
You are my FOREVER friends.
Beautifully stated, JWoo.
Guys like you, Baritone, and our wonderful ladies here – make my sentiments very easy.
🥰 😎
i think kenji will be back jwoo ..
Thank you. Someone answered you below who it was. I also noted it on the title of the YouTube video.
🙃David: I should have clicked a little more and I would have seen that you provided Coleman Hughes’ name.
Thank you for pointing that out, dear Sir!
You find such great stuff.
I like that the Hebrew subtitles are there.
I plan to re-listen and slow it down to see if I can learn some more Hebrew today.
Shalom and Blessings of Comfort, Success, and Much Gratitude to you and all Israelis. 🪷🙏🇮🇱

❤️A good comment.
Thank you for this post, David. Don’t watch Joe Rogan much so this is new stuff for me. His guest is very articulate and informative. He cut right through the agit-prop. 🙂
Thank you.
That’s almost exactly what the Viet Cong did in S.Vietnam, and why so many civilians were killed (by both the VC and the USArmy). It is clearly the tactic of choice used by totalitarian enemies of free societies against armies of cultures who respect life.
Satan’s cowards hide behind women and children, using them as shields. IMHO the (historically mostly Christian) US military has always tried (not always successfully) to do the opposite and move civilians away from combat zones or draw the battle to an unoccupied or minimally occupied area.
This is a whole new level. They have hundreds of miles of tunnels with rooms and toilets and food storages and munitions.
All the command and control tunnel rooms are under hospitals, mosques and schools and was even next to UNRWA.
We are getting civilians out. I have stats of home many leaflets and how many texts and calls were made to tell people to move out.
In some cases Hamas shot at them to prevent them from leaving.
If you saw the devastation you would understand that there could have been hundreds of thousands dead with no evacuation policy. The good thing is that we are done with taking over 85% of the lands. Demolition the tunnels is slow and can take a year if not more. We have to locate them all and enter in slowly. A crazy operation. But we will do it. We are doing.

The Iranians are preparing for the Israeli counter attack. Those are Russian Sam 200 and 300 against aircrafts.
Russian Defense Minister said they will provide them jet fighters to defend themselves.

Damn.
Good morning all.
Today is mowing day. The yard will finally be dry enough so I don’t leave tracks in the low places.
I weed wacked and edged yesterday. I also go up on the roof and Flex Sealed the rubber flashing around my two plumbing vent pipes. I know that one was leaking, but the other is in a place where a leak would be hard to detect. Since they were done at the same time and in the same way, it got sealed also.
I used the black spray rubber compound that Flex-Seal offers. And I used plenty of it. I bet that leak is taken care of now! We also uncovered the deck furniture. And while I had the ladder out I changed a bulb in the light over the back door that opens onto the deck. I also picked up sticks and burned off the cardboard and dead fall I had in the burn ring in the morning when the grass was still wet from dew and the wind was pretty much dead calm.
Then I called it a day. Got a shower and poured a Jack and non coke and grilled two Rib eyes. Sherry made homemade slaw and Potatoes Au Gratin to go with the steaks.
I will be raking up and saving the grass clippings today to use to put over the grass seed once I get the landscaping done. Once the existing dirt is leveled and all the larger rocks and chunks of wood from tree roots are raked out and the layout the way it want it, I’ll put a layer of new top soil over it and water it down. Then I’ll put Turf Builder fertilizer in it and then the seed. Then layer of grass clippings spread over the new seed.
But I won’t start the landscaping until I have installed the pop ups in the yard. Should start on that later this week as weather allows. The downspouts from the new sun room and the garage will dump into a 4″ PVC elbow and then carry the water underground via 4″ pvc to pop ups in in the yard about 4-5 feet from the walls or slabs. The pop ups are at ground level so one can mow over them. This will get the water away from the house and eliminate the downspout elbows and extensions that were put on during construction. Much nicer and neater system that keeps the gutters from draining near the foundations or slabs and eliminates problems with erosion during heavy rains. And sure as heck cuts down on trimming when I mow. And from now on that is my objective in the yard. Eliminate as much area that I have to trim and edge as possible.
Best to get landscaping done ASAP before we get into the heat of the summer. Physical labor in 80 deg.+ temps just kicks my ass these days.
AFter I have installed the pop ups the next thing is to paint the block of the new foundations gray to match existing. Then I can begin to landscape. There is already trenching up next to the block in most places so I’ll have to do very little digging and cleaning before we paint it.
rah– I find your summaries of how you go about living your daily life (your best life) very comforting. Silly me. It makes me smile! 😊
Today after I take out the trash, trim, mow, and do a few other things it’s shrimp cocktail, battered Cod, and a toss salad. The freedom to do what I want, pretty much when I want, is great!
That’s my cultivated “don’t dog me bro” look.
Ha ha Patience
A Rover bulldozer!
rah,
Haven’t you ever heard of battered cod syndrome? What did cod ever do to you? 😁
Hey! I’m not hurting a thing! The crabbers use cod for bait!

“What happened to the signers of the Declaration of Independence?
This is the Price They Paid
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. ”

Godspeed, America !!!
Here’s Paul Harvey video on this very thing.
What a doll-baby. The girls will chase him all over the country.
Well, virtually everyone and his brother in the meteorological community are on board with what Joe Bastardi stated was coming. December Joe said to expect it to be the “Hurricane Season from hell!”. Also the African wave train that feeds the main development region is appears to by firing up early this year. Joe say’s he would not be surprised if we see a named storm in May.
This Atlantic hurricane season is likely to be far more active than any of us have seen in quite some time, if ever. At the same time the Typhoons of the NW Pacific and Cyclones of the SW Pacific are likely to be very few and far between.
So expect that the focus and hype of the media to be on the Atlantic. But since “climate change” is supposed to be global I’ll be posting on what is going on, or not going on, in the Pacific to offer some perspective.
For years now NOAA has been inflating the power of the storms. They have also been naming storms that would never have been named a decade or more before. So expect a season of over the top hype from the media.
awwww 🙂
CAN YOU COME DOWN?
“While ye have light, believe in the light.” John xii. 36
We all have moments when we feel better than our best, and we say – “I feel fit for anything; if only I could be like this always!” We are not meant to be. Those moments are moments of insight which we have to live up to when we do not feel like it. Many of us are no good for this workaday world when there is no high hour. We must bring our commonplace life up to the standard revealed in the high hour.
Never allow a feeling which was stirred in you in the high hour to evaporate. Don’t put your mental feet on the mantelpiece and say – “What a marvelous state of mind to be in!” Act immediately, do something, if only because you would rather not do it. If in a prayer meeting God has shown you something to do, don’t say – “I’ll do it”; DO IT! Take yourself by the scruff of the neck and shake off your incarnate laziness. Laziness is always seen in cravings for the high hour; we talk about working up to a time on the mount. We have to learn to live in the grey day according to what we say on the mount.
Don’t cave in because you have been baffled once, get at it again. Burn your bridges behind you, and stand committed to God by your own act. Never revise your decisions, but see that you make your decisions in the light of the high hour.

Early in August 1972, John Lennon had the idea to perform a live benefit for the pupils of Willowbrook School in New York City, a state-run institute for children with mental disabilities. Following three days of rehearsals, two concerts took place on 30 August 1972 at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, New York City. They were the last full-scale performances given by Lennon in public.

Biography: As co-discoverer of the structure of DNA and for the controversy surrounding the lack of credit given to her role in the discovery.
She provided key insights into DNA structure by capturing “Photograph 51” of the “B” form of DNA in 1952 while at King’s College in London.
This work formed the basis for James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkin’s famous DNA model that resulted in their Nobel Prize in 1962.

MORNING
I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee. Psa. 31:22
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. Psa. 69:2
Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off. I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon. Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not. Lam. 3: 54-57
Will the LORD cast off for ever? and wilt he be favourable no more? Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. Psa. 77:7-11
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Psa. 27:13
EVENING
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him. Psa. 91:15
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested. I Chron. 4:10
Ask what I shall give thee. And Solomon said unto God…. Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people. II Chron. 1:7, 8, 10
And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. I Kings 4:29
Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power… O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa. II Chron. 14:11, 12
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come. Psa. 65:2

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil, hold fast to what is good. – Romans 12:9
The display at the state fair included trays of glittering jewelry, sparkling under bright lights, and shimmering their “buy me” invitation. The hawker called out, “Get your diamonds here. Get your genuine simulated diamonds here.
” Glittering, man-made gems may look like the real thing to some, but they are far from it. Extreme heat and pressure on carbon atoms are what create diamonds… pressure about 50,000 times the air pressure on the surface of the earth and temperatures of about 1200 degrees Celsius, and a timespan of one to three billion years will result in a diamond.
“Genuine, man-made“ Christians are what Paul warns about in today’s verse. A simulated Christian is one who is not authentic. The apostle advocates for the real thing.
The Greek lexicon says the word he used means hypocrisy. The love generated from genuine faith accentuates the positive and abhors evil or, as Webster would say, treats evil with repugnance. The Romans 12 passage goes on to say that true love from a genuine faith is devoted and loyal to others in the family of God, never gives up, and meets the needs of others.
Believers with a true faith in Jesus Christ are different. They think positively, they stand for the truth and expose evil.
The atmosphere of their homes and families are different, as are their relationships with others. Some have been tested under heat and pressure, for long periods of time.
The Holy Spirit provides the power and ability to walk out the kind of love God calls you to have—genuine, authentic, actual, and real.
The first of the fruits of the Spirit is love.
If you struggle with loving as God directs you to, ask, and He will surely help you.
Pray that the faith and love of those serving in government who call themselves Christians would be genuine.

Looks like a Morris chair too. I have one my grandmother left me: crafted in 1898. It was a wedding present to her and my grandfather. Morris chairs have a mechanism that allows you to lower the back – the first reclining chairs.

Verse of the Day for Tuesday, April 16, 2024
✟
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:”
1 Peter 5:6 (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.

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

Psalm 91. The most powerful prayer from the Bible. God’s protection, healing
#psalm91 #psalms #prayer
Pray Everyday
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18c1Vk0Svvg
91 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Interested if any of our more tech savvy friends can chime in and speak to this, but listening to Joe Rogan podcast, he has a “commercial” where he discusses that Google had a lawsuit because INCOGNITO MODE is NOT INCOGNITO.
“Incognito” searches prevent someone in your own home from not seeing your searches; however it does not hide those searches from your web provider or big tech. Thus, there is no such thing as clandestine searching.
Now, I’m fortunate – I don’t search things out that I’m afraid someone is going to nail me for – but I do use BRAVE web browser which supposedly erases my search history – on the side I can see – not the side Big Eyes can see.
So be careful for those who think they are safer “incognito”. If it is internet based – there’s nothing hidden. Just as God says, everything done in darkness will be revealed. So be vigilant.
I’m learning terrible lessons with our web-based software – one basically hands proprietary and sometimes confidential data over to these software providers and it no longer is “owned” by you. Had a major problem getting a hold of our own price list up until about a year ago, but went for almost two years not being to able to access it once it went “web-based” verses locally server based.
Yes. Incognito mode only protects your data from others who use your device. Users of the Google Chrome browser thought when they activated “Incognito” mode, they could browse privately. But Google still collected all their data. The lawsuit outcome has allegedly force Google to delete all the collected data from Chrome users’ incognito mode browsing. I’d trust that assertion about as far as I could toss the Google CEO.
https://www.howtogeek.com/google-chrome-incognito-mode-settlement/
The only way I know how to browse without making “tracks” is to use a solid VPN with a good browser like Brave set to “private mode” where no history is created or cookies are logged.
Also keep the device’s camera and microphone deactivated and not authorized for any app. When you need them turned on, change their settings in the device’s Settings and then boot up the app you’re going to use for conferencing (Skype, Facetime, Zoom) or a social media app. Just remember to de-authorize the mic and camera from all apps after using the conference app or social media app.

The following video is both a tribute to the IAF (Israeli Air Force) for their recent defense of the State of Israel and also very educational. Israel’s survival depends in no small part on its pilots.
Pilots in Israel have one of the highest respect in society, more than doctors, celebrities and engineers.
For a good reason. To be a pilot involves one of the most difficult selection that doesn’t end till the end of the three year course. The longest course in the IDF. They can drop at the end stage too and I know one personally.
This video is the best that I find that really gives an overview and a deeper inside look. You may know that I was in the Air Force (not a pilot) so I have a special place in my heart and know how amazing this organization is. I have never seen such a good organization anywhere else. The video is a bit old and now we have better jets. But, take your time, it’s worth it and I think it’s even has some educational things for anyone’s life.
😃 Excellent and definitely has lessons for our everyday lives.
Thank you for showing this to us, David.
I want to hear more about your ride with the wild pilot you chose.
Was it seriously wild?
Watching these jets certainly seems so!
And, what did you mean yesterday by receiving an award?
Every year or so there was a competition at the ground force for the best soldier of the Squadron. People would vote and the best one wins and gets a flight.
I won one time and also won a second time for another reason. But the second award was canceled.
I prepared the jet fighter. I choose one that I knew is never having technical issues. I set behind. The pilot was young and amazing. You are ready to take off and all of a sudden he puts it on full burner and your back sticks to the seat from the speed. You’re in the air in seconds. He was very mild on me. It was a training drill of attacking a target. I told him on the radio “are you being a wimp?” The next moment the jet went up and vertical. The G Forces for gravity went up and up. I couldn’t move a finger from the pressure. My hands were stuck on my knees and I couldn’t mover them. I was surprised that he could move. I vomited but was prepared with a bag.
It was still a hell of a fun.
He then flipped and I looked up and saw the ground above me. He then went into a dive on an attack target. I could see the land moving toward me at high speed. Again couldn’t move. Wondered how can he move? It seemed like we are about to crush and there is no way he can move a finger to change it. He them pulled up before the “crush”.
The airplane was delivered to another base so we landed in the south by Eilat city. I was dressed like a pilot so the girls were extra nice to me. LOL
We came back in a tiny small airplane.
I managed to avoid being dumped into a tub full is water and some eggs on my head etc… that was the tradition for a first flight.
Even high ranks would get the treatment. But the way I returned was from another location.
An adventure of a lifetime.
Those pilots are risking their lives at every flight even in peace. It’s not 100% safe and they make a few flights per day sometimes.
Shalom.
😲 😅 😂 David: You are very funny. And you tell stories so well.
Yes, I also want to know how he could move if you couldn’t? 😂😵💫
I guess a roller coaster would be very boring after that.
That is a great story.
Thank you. You definitely brightened my evening.
Shalom.
You’re welcome.
They do it every day for years. They can control the machine even at high G-Forces. I saw some of those pilots getting to very high G force that the airplane came back hot and had screws pop out from pressure.
David, thank you for sharing this excellent video.
May YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Set Apart One of Israel, give peace and protection to you and all your family, and to all Israel.
Shalom and blessings to you.
Amen. The same to you.
David: Thanks for this video. Excellent.
