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 †

Trump Vs Biden in treatment of terrorists and terror states. if it wasn’t sad it would be funny. I guess it’s funny anyways.

This is very short, I picked it up on Telegram. I would appreciate if you told me who he is? I like him of course. When you see the video you will understand why.
republican senator john kennedy of louisiana
Thank you.
Good morning David.
That’s Senator John Kennedy, from the State of Louisiana.
Thank you.
🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱 David: Shalom.
😅😲 I truly enjoyed your humorously well-told and suspenseful story late yesterday about flying in the jet piloted by a young and wild pilot you chose. 😄
For those who missed the story from David, here it is:

I love what Senator John Kennedy (R-Louisiana) says in this video clip and I agree with it.
I just want to note here for your benefit that MANY of us really had high hopes for Senator John Kennedy over the years.
I don’t recall the moment in the last year or so that he REALLY disappointed many (most?) of us here at CTH.
Another treeper may recall and post it here.
To me now, sadly, he is “all (or mostly) talk” or with little or no meaningful action; so nothing (or close to nothing) that we want actually results from all his amazing remarks.

God Bless you and your Wife and your Family and all of Israel and her visitors with good health and much success as quickly as humanely possible.

Exactly right, IHYN
Senator Kennedy makes for funny, spot on sound bites. But, as you stated: all hat, no cattle. His voting record is disappointing.
Thank you.

that whole “Don’t” pantomime was so transparently scripted to be theatric it was utterly cringe-y
advisors obviously instructed him what to say and how to say it for dramatic (they thought) effect, intended to impart “gravitas” and manufactured terse-ness
media reporters played their part by predictably asking him “what is your message to Iran?”
teeing him up for his scripted line
everyone played their part in the imagined (in their heads) drama presentation that would be played ad nauseum on TV
but it don’t impress me much
to quote a line from Get Shorty:

Israel Update:
-Putin stands by Iran. Says that it was justified and a proper deserved action.
-Defense Minister of Russia a day before said they will provide Iran with better jet fighters to defend themselves.
Note: This is significant. Russia have some forces in Syria with an ability to disrupt Israeli operations on the way to Iran or just over Syria. Russia could provide Iran with SAM400 Surface to air missiles to be able to protect the nuclear sites. This March an Iranian delegation visited Russia and toured the factory of the SAM 400 and others. The SAM400 is said to be able to detect the stealth airplanes F35 that Israel and the US are using. Will make an attack on the reactors more difficult. The missiles will have to be targeted as a part of such an operation. For many many years there is coordination between Israel and the Russian at the Syrian area. Israel attacks Iran in Syria and let Russia know that we are around and to keep away.
Those coordinations were achieved in quite a few Bibi Putin meetings. Russia knows not to give Iran SAM400 or else. Israel with Bibi stayed quiet about Ukraine and wouldn’t provide them any weapons despite pressures, Israel did provide other kinds of supplies like bullet proof vests, etc…If Russia starts to mess with Israel’s technological superiority over Iran then Israel have things for Ukraine that can be tie breaking too. Iran supplies for Russia drones and possibly other weapons. There is always the risk of Russia actively helping Iran with direct action in Syria. Very unlikely. Putin is not stupid. His forces in Syria could be wiped on in a day. It’s not going to happen.
-IDF targeted terrorists in an apartment in Rafah. Some 7 died.
-Biden is working out some sanctions on Iran’s missiles and drone industries.
He is planning to discuss it at the G7 meeting and get other nations to join.
Note: I am pretty sure that this is what he is offering Bibi in exchange to a very mild response against Iran. Israel also sent relaxing messages to Arab nations around to know that it’s going to be pin pointed and not endanger them.
Note: Those sanctions seem to me kind of bogus. I am not sure but the parts of their drones and missiles are not related to any Western nation so I don’t quite see how those sanctions mean much? The only serious sanctions can be what Trump did. He attacked their oil industry. Anyone buying their oil was in trouble with the US. China is the major buyer of their oil and I think that he stopped them with threats. Now China is buying their oil. 80% of Iran’s income is from oil and gas.
-Jordan said they will increase the patrols and oppose the use of their air space. Israel will have to pass around, that adds some time. Can pass through Syria if there will be an Air Force action on Iran.
-Two Senior Hezbollah commanders assassinated in their cars from the air within a couple of hours. I think there was a third one too.
Note: Those is the craziest thing. Every few days or every week their commanders are assassinated. It’s all over the area. There was even a Hamas leader taken out in the hub of Hezbollah in Beirut Lebanon. I mean, it looks like Israel has some massive spy networks in Lebanon and maybe infiltrations at their ranks.
I have to mention that Gaza, The West Bank and Israel are the territories of Shabak Internal Security organization that is over spying and securing Israel against terror from an Intel standpoint. Lebanon is considered a foreign country and therefore is the territory of the Mossad. The Mossad didn’t mess up on 10/7 because Gaza is not their zone.
Lebanon has many people who don’t like Hezbollah, it’s probably easy to recruit.
-This paragraph is not news but info. As I said, Iran’s income comes 80% from oil and gas.
The main buyer is China. If Israel took out their oil fields that would get them into some serious trouble financially but also internally as the population without fuel can rise up against them. The main risk of World War is because of Russia. Iran itself is not strong enough to account for a World war. A world war requires two forces that are similar in power. The US can crush Iran in a week if it wanted to.
Russia is a competitor of Iran in the oil industry. So Russia will not care if the Iranian oil is in flames. Now, this is all fine but I doubt that Bibi will go this far. It’s probably all coordinated with Biden and there is a give and take. Bibi will restrain and we will get the aide package pushed. and munitions and sanctions on Iran and hopefully we can move on in Gaza without so much harassment.
God bless You friends.
A massive amount of info, David. Many thanks. It looks like a Herculean task to both do to maintain. A never-ending, perpetual situation.
Israel is leading the world or second after the US in many fields despite of the perpetual war.
One can get used to a war every few years. But this one is something else and I hope it will result in some quiet on that front for the decades to come.
🤔 . David:
The only reservation I have about OBiden putting sanctions on anyone is (as Sundance has described in a couple blogs, including the CBDC blog a few weeks back that I showed you) that the REAL result of the current OBiden Administration US sanctions on Russia is to REIGN-in / restrict OUR freedoms here in the USA.
Russia has been doing great economically since US sanctions were put on Russia a couple years back by OBiden.
🇮🇱 🎶 🇮🇱 . Shalom to all of you.
Thank you. I would have to study those sanctions when it’s done.
It’s specifically related to their missiles and drone programs.
If it happens then I will try to understand its meaning and cover it.
But as I said I suspect that the only effective sanctions on Iran would be its oil sales to China.
‘If China could get another supplier at better cost.
David: According to my understanding of Sundance’s recent writings and in-person research:
The Russia sanctions by OBiden look like they should hurt Russia.
Russia predictably found a way around them by starting BRICS (gray-colored countries on map linked below)
That appears to be what OBiden planned on so OBiden has an excuse to bring in the freedom-restrictive CBDC to the USA (and other countries that are yellow-colored on that map around the world).
%%%%%%. %%%%%
So, with any other sanctions, including the punishments on Iran that our usually very slow and evil House of Representatives passed quickly this week (that I see on Citizen Free Press today), it may LOOK like a punishment on Iran or China or whatever, but the result is likely to be loss of freedoms especially in the yellow-colored countries, in my opinion.
%%%%%%. %%%%%
Here’s the map with the yellow-colored and gray-colored countries around the world that I’m referring to (in this article on SWIFT / CBDC):

Thank you. I am ignorant about what you said so I have no opinion. I will have to read the article that you provided and others. But the digital regulations that is mentioned is different than simply prohibiting the participation of Western Nations in the military industry of Iran. Limiting Trade with Iran has no restriction on your liberties unless you want to trade weapons and parts of weapons with Iran. But again, I will need to see what they implement exactly. There will be experts bigger than me explaining it and I will update when I know. My general feeling is that it won’t be enough. As I said, so long as Iran is selling oil to the “gray nations” Iran will have money. If we can shut of their sales to some of the larger players like China then their economy will suffer and can lead to unrest and eventually a change or regime in Iran. This is exactly what Trump did that brought about a relatively quiet period and what Biden didn’t do the brought about chaos.
What such a sanction or prohibition SAYS and what it’s actually used for can be very different.
OBiden loves China and loves Iran … and anyone else they can get money from or launder money through (like Ukraine).
I’m praying that the BEST results to protect individual freedoms in the USA and Israel is what happens.🙏❤️
This world is cruel, and you don’t get out alive. If real lucky you get a bit of peace in your personal life. If not you live in Israel.
The Bible is full of “cultural cleansing” some people just can’t shake Lucifer, he made promises to them and they believe it. I’m not for murder but I’d shoot a person trying to kill my family or one that did. And I’d make sure they were stopped from that point on. You have to understand they have made a choice, before. As we have to also. You cannot bargain with Satan, you do or do not, mistakes are made but “willing” is different.
Is there any lack of clarity on the situations we face today? Hamas destroyed lives in Israel, we got the same on our soil now, what purpose is there for mercy? It serves no purpose anymore. People want mercy for another chance……to rape and murder, not repent. Did you see survivors from the Israel attack now are committing suicide in huge numbers, they were destroyed?
Now, I see Gods justice in Sodom and Gomorrah, there was no reason for Grace anymore. I see it.
There comes a time you step aside from insanity from insane people with no reasoning abilities and you administer justice and mercy to those who seek peace, love, truth, mercy, and forgiveness. A baby deserves a choice and that chance yet we deny it for all. It’s no way to run a country or our world.
I know God does not enjoy administering death to anyone. I also know he sees ones heart.
How many did he stop before they committed atrocities, and those he allowed were to let us see the capability of a lost soul, bent, one who embraces Lucifers ways.
Found in the bin… 🙁
Thank you !
If it’s of any comfort the report about 50 suicides is false. But there were a few and many people had their lives ruined. I was going to translate a video from today on TV. The young lady from the Nova festival, a single mom,
Came back to the site. Telling how she hide in a refrigerator hearing the terrors murdering her friends and drinking and chatting and throwing hand Granada’s and she was sure she will die.
A really handsome young lady. There are recordings she made in real time saying what going on and how she thinks she will die. She after long time when the army came to end the massacre she came out. Everyone that was with her was laying dead, there was right by her place a woman with her head cut and shot, body parts laying around. She looks pretty traumatized but strong enough to return to the site. Some trauma are harder then others. My Mother in law was a young lady in Aushwitz, they were not allowed to get near the building with the chimney. One time she was called to do some work in there and picked and saw the piles of gassed bodies and the ovens. She was in shock and lost her ability to talk for days. Strong woman managed to come to Israel and have a normal and even great family with grandchildren. My wife still is unable to throw food even when I insist that the “tomato is too soft to be good enough”. My wife was born in Israel. It’s a cruel world.
I would like to take a moment and thank Iran for making us a few billion dollars a couple of days ago.
I will explain. Everyone knows the Iron Dome that intercepts Rockets of lower altitude.
But not everyone knows what we used to stop the ballistic missiles. It was David’s Sling, Arrow 2 and 3 that are for very high attacks.
We are going to have a line of nations who want to buy. All of Europe are anxious about Russia and need it. Germany is already cut a massive deal before the war for David’s Sling. And oddly enough Germany has been the friendliest in Europe since the war began.
The others like France and Belgium will need to improve their behavior. LOL.

Samuel Morey
(1762-1843)
American inventor of early internal combustion engines and a steamship pioneer, dies at 80
Biography: Samuel Morey was an American inventor credited with important advances in steam and internal combustion engine technology. Though less well-known than contemporaries like Robert Fulton, Morey was a significant figure in early American engineering.
Morey was initially interested in steam engines and their application in the realm of water-based transport. His experiments led to a patented design for a steam-powered paddlewheel, an early example of applying steam power to boats.
One of Morey’s most significant contributions was the development of the internal combustion engine. He was awarded a patent in 1826 for a “Gas or Vapor Engine,” one of the earliest examples of an internal combustion engine using a gas and air mixture.
His engine used a volatile liquid, like alcohol or turpentine, which was vaporized and then ignited to produce a controlled explosion that drove a piston. Although rudimentary by today’s standards, it was a pioneering concept at the time.
Franklin was a Master Mason and had his name on a pew in eight different churches in Philadelphia signifying he was a major benefactor. He also headed up the committee to create the Great Seal of the United States. He came up with the concept of of Day Light Savings time, and promoted it’s adoption to save candles and increase productivity.
Franklin has always been my favorite Founder. Talent on loan from God.
I posted earlier the David’s Sling interceptor. Next is the space age one. Arrow 3. This can shoot down satellites and deal with higher altitudes.
And after it I am posting the next generation , SkySonic, that is still not very known . It is the first ever interceptor that can intercept hypersonic missiles. This is not in use yet as far as I know. It will deal with the Hypersonic missiles that are now fashionable. By the way Iran said they have Hypersonic missiles. They are faking and it’s not the first time. I can explain if you ask but it is not a true hypersonic. Russia does have it for real. And used it in the war.
Defense industry is a self feeding, self enabling monster.
Design and sell a new innovative weapon, sell the counter to the new innovative weapon.
Inarguable that Israel needs the best but this is a never ending road.
I am somehow reminded of Saul and Goliath’s armor but it was David’s faith that prevailed.
He saw where others didn’t much like the rifleman versus the phalanx of the British formations.
Not the weapon but the ability to see clearly and that comes from biblical wisdom and assistance.
Thank you. We are well aware that the spirit of the defender is the primary factor. Every commander in the IDF knows it and in the IDF there is more nurturing the spirit and belief in the moral rightness of the fighters than any army in the world as far as I know. There are trips to heritage locations and there are strong talks of commanders with soldiers.
But unlike the Industrial complex of the US that is notorious for its political connection and influence. In Israel it’s a different situation. The three major players are Rafael, Elbit and IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries). Two of those are government owned organizations. Only Elbit is a regular corporation that was granted the right to be a supplier for the Ministry of Defense under special conditions of security.
As you just saw we take the missile defense systems very seriously because it relates to the lives of every one of us. The primary motivation is not sales. Even the developers well understand that the survival of Israel is the reason for what they’re doing. Sales are just to keep those companies’ budgets balanced. But the government owned companies will never bankrupt regardless of balance.
Israel will always keep them going. At some point the government owned companies were losing a lot of money so their status moved to become “a Limited Corporations” but still same ownership.
It’s not like the US that it’s manly all about profits, sales and mainly other peoples wars. Those companies are permitted to sell to the world certain products under a one for one approval so that it doesn’t fall to the wrong hands.
Even the spirit of the single soldier who operates the missile defense systems is critical. At the bottom line it’s all about spirit which is why Israel is still alive and prosperous despite inconceivable threats. An Egyptian soldier who who fought to conquer Israel is not like an Israeli soldier who is fighting to keep his family and nation alive. And of course we have some help from the creator, we hope.
Shalom.
David: The spirit and love and compassion and comraderie of Israel’s soldiers and children and citizens is something I felt as soon as I landed in Israel 50+ years ago.
It quenched my soul immediately.
That means Israelis have plenty of Spirit to spare — so they share it if appropriate and it’s contagious in a good way.
And, the Israeli Spirit appears to have only gotten much stronger as I watch many videos since the start of the Oct 7 War.
%%%%. %%%%
The seriousness with which Israelis take their responsibility to care deeply in every way for and preserve the various heritage landmarks and artifacts spread all over their country is so inspiring.
Israelis also care about protecting the lives of other people (unless the other people are trying to annihilate them, of course).
I feel so blessed to have experienced the treasure that is Israel.
%%%%. %%%%
Israel is very beautiful to behold and very inclusive and welcoming to all who cherish her.
God Bless Israel, the IDF, all Israelis and visitors.
Shalom.🇮🇱🙏❤️

In no way was I criticizing you David or Israel.
The defense industry/military industrial complex is global. Hopefully Israel can retain its independence from it. You see the ridiculous tie of aid to Israel in with aid to Ukraine which is illogical and oh so political here in USA and Europe. The two situations share absolutely nothing except in the eyes of the globalists. In fact it makes a severe doubt about the timing of the Hamas attack upon Israel.
Thank you for clarifying. You know that the budget for Ukraine is more than three time than the planned allocation to Israel? If I remember right it’s 49B Vs 14Billion.
I have not followed the Ukrainian war very much so I am not super informed.
From an Israeli point of view those are two evils. Russia has been the main supplier of weapons and training to our enemies in all the wars and Ukrainians killed more Jews than anyone else aside for the Germans in the past 100 years. So my view is limited.
Israel is full of Ukrainian Jews and Russian Jews and honestly I wouldn’t be able to distinguish. For me the looks and language is the same.
How convenient it is for Biden to use the Republican sentiment to Israel to push through the aide for Ukraine.
David: a very rare interview with the Founder of Telegram which I got so much from and I think you may appreciate, too.
Also, in this article Sundance is starting to expand his talk about the Russian sanctions and beyond.
Sundance is in Russia right now and will host another AMA (Ask Me Anything) soon it sounds like.

NECK OR NOTHING
“Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him…and did cast himself into the sea.” John xxi. 7
Have you ever had a crisis in which you deliberately and emphatically and recklessly abandoned everything? It is a crisis of will. You may come up to it many times externally, but it amounts to nothing. The real deep crisis of abandonment is reached internally, not externally. The giving up of external things may be an indication of being in total bondage.
Have you deliberately committed your will to Jesus Christ? It is a transaction of will, not of emotion; the emotion is simply the gilt-edge of the transaction. If you allow emotion first, you will never make the transaction. Do not ask God what the transaction is to be, but make it in regard to the thing you do see, either in the shallow or the profound place.
If you have heard Jesus Christ’s voice on the billows, let your convictions go to the winds, let your consistency go the winds, but maintain your relationship to Him.

Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. – Romans 12:10
In The Message, today’s verse is rendered, “Be good friends who love deeply; practice playing second fiddle.” The “outdo one another” phrase in today’s verse is not about competition, nor is it about taking second place. Other Bible translations or versions translate the Greek word “show preference” or “show eagerness.”
Strong’s Concordance states the Greek proegoumenoi actually means “to lead onward by example.” Another lexicon defines it as “to lead the way, go on before.”
Leading the way in showing honor is not about putting yourself either at the top or the bottom, but giving worth and importance to others and being upfront about it. You show leadership by giving respect and value to another, and do it with humility.
As with many other aspects of Christ-like living, this begins with your attitude that motivates your actions. It is not enough to give lip service to these gentle commands in Scripture; nothing significant will come of that.
It is essential to apply what you have been taught. As the Apostle John writes, “Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth” (1 John 3:18).
You can begin by paying closer attention to those around you: family, friends, neighbors, fellow congregants at church, and even strangers. Be prepared to expand your circle of relationships and your sphere of influence. This may take you out of your comfort zone, but it is necessary if you are to lead the way.
As you make an effort to show the kind of other-honoring leadership that Paul is talking about, commit to taking part in church small groups and community activities. Your light cannot shine if you keep it hidden in your living room!
Pray for the men and women in Christian leadership across America to “outdo” one another in showing honor and love.

Yes! THE look. xoxoxo
Aunt Jemima
The branding of the syrup was a tribute to this woman’s gifts and talents. Now future generations will not even know this woman existed. What a shame.
The world knew her as “Aunt Jemima”, but her given name was Nancy Green and she was a true American success story.
She was born a slave in 1834 Montgomery County, KY. and became a wealthy superstar in the advertising world, as its first living trademark.
Green was 56-yrs old when she was selected as spokesperson for a new ready-mixed, self-rising pancake flour and made her debut in 1893 at a fair and exposition in Chicago.
She demonstrated the pancake mix and served thousands of pancakes, and became an immediate star. She was a good storyteller, her personality was warm and appealing, and her showmanship was exceptional. Her exhibition booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving.
Nancy Green was signed to a lifetime contract, traveled on promotional tours all over the country, and was extremely well paid. Her financial freedom and stature as a national spokesperson enabled her to become a leading advocate against poverty and in favor of equal rights for all Americans.
She maintained her job until her death in 1923, at age 89. She has been ERASED by politics.
Cancel Culture
Such a wonderful testimony of Miss Nancy! I didn’t know!
We need a movement to bring back the culture – whether it’s good or bad!
My grandmother had a toaster cover of Aunt Jemima.
It was like a soft doll and I would play with it, haha!
Good Morning Miss.Della.B and hope you are well. Peace
Thank you, Light.
May divine blessings follow you!
🙏🏻
Another (reflecting) thought … hopefully encouraging, even if for myself:
“They” cannot cancel Aunt Jemima in my mind.
I’ll always remember her and the products.
So, will my grown children – and, we’ll tell our grands.
We have a choice: participate or not – otherwise, “cancel culture” won’t succeed.😆
Hello, Miss Della.
Indeed.
How is Mrs Butterworth’s? 😜
Haha!
Used to buy Mrs Butterworth syrup when raising my kiddos.
Now, we use real maple syrup …
Cost an arm and a leg.
But don’t use it often!

-“You probably have never heard her name, but Nancy Green has likely been in your kitchen before. Green created the Aunt Jemima recipe, and with it, the birth of the American pancake.”
…..”Green lived until the age of 89 but died after being hit by a car in Chicago in 1923.”

….”4. Nancy Green won the role to portray Aunt Jemima
Nancy Hayes Green was born near Mount Sterling, Kentucky. By the time of the American Civil War, she had already lost her husband and two of her children, and sometime after 1863, she moved to Covington, Kentucky. There she worked as a nanny and cook for Charles and Amanda Walker. The Walkers relocated to Chicago in the early 1870s, and Nancy went with them, settling into a large home on Ashland Avenue. It was the Walkers who learned of the search for someone to portray Aunt Jemima during the upcoming Columbian Exhibition, and they encouraged Nancy to try out for the part. Charles Walker also wrote to Davis Milling, recommending Nancy for the role, as she resembled (according to Walker) the image depicted in the company’s advertising.”
Thank you, Patience, for the article!
Love reading about this!
WOW! what a wonderful and beautiful woman she was. Thank you for sharing Nancy Green story.
it would be special to have a Library thread for all the stories many of you have shared, so many
generations can learn. You and others are a blessing. Peace
Very good idea, Light!
Would be wonderful resource!
Come on out to Mt Sterling for the Nancy Green “Pancake Queen” festival this coming Saturday.

Another wildlife pic …
Caught Mr. Tom on top of hub’s truck. 😄
Though there were a dozen hens roaming nearby, he was not the least interested.
Saw his reflection in windshield, thought it was another male, and wanted to fight! haha!
Left scratches all over the hood and glass.
Love our wildlife – they’re quite entertaining!
Wonderful pic, Miss.Della
And, you cleared up a curiosity I have pondered too! We have many birds that peck at our truck’s side mirrors – so much so, we sometimes cover them.
I guess they are “shadow boxing” in effect.
Yes, shadow boxing, haha!
While in my car in parking lot, I watched a mockingbird aggressively peck another car’s side mirror!
Hubs told me they see their reflection and think it’s competition.
Animals fun to watch!
Yes, Miss.Della
Sometimes they are so aggressive, they draw blood. 🙁
I’m sure your husband was declaring turkey season is now open!
Haha! He loves our wildlife, monti – even feeds a possum every night!
Miss Della,
I love watching our wildlife also but wild turkey is a very delectable dish. We’re a part of it here at my house not apart from it.
I love admiring the Creator’s glory but I am reminded that he declared we have dominion and its for our use.
Not meant to criticize anyone else just explaining how others view things.
I totally agree with you about the food sources God has provided!
Just haven’t eaten wild turkey, tho. Didn’t know it was good.
My hubs just retired from deer hunting, after fifty years.
So, yes, we have no problem eating from the land/wild.
Aw shucks, I should have known since your husband is so knowledgeable about cast iron cookware. Be kinda hard to watch that guy scratch up that nice pickup though. Blessings to you and yours.
– monti
Didn’t you post awhile back about opossums being carriers of something?
Yikes!
We just put food in a pan at edge of woods. No contact.
But still …
Good morning and peace to all. ISAIAH 41:13 For I the LORD thy God will hold thy
right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee. KJV
‘Devil Comet,’ Jupiter Meets Uranus, Meteors, Pink Moon Star In April
A periodic comet that comes around every 71 years is getting brighter as it races toward the sun; meteor showers are back with the Lyrids.
‘Devil Comet,’ Jupiter Meets Uranus, Meteors, Pink Moon Star In April | Across America, US Patch
Sine there are no enhanced areas for severe weather shown in the map I thought I’d give AD Rem and break. But read on.
Those in Ohio should be watching the weather this afternoon. Though NOAA Storm Prediction Center only shows a 15% chance of severe weather right now, more than one meteorologist thinks they have under done it. Strong straight line winds and large hail are likely to be the most prominent threats. Area includes all of Ohio except the extreme south along the river, all of SE Michigan, and a little bit of western PA and Eastern IN.

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
OH, SWEET JESUS
How can we thank You for Your love for us
For what You have suffered – Oh, Sweet Jesus
It began with prayer in the Garden
You sweat tears of blood for our pardon
You taught us acceptance of Father’s will
You taught the importance of prayer still
You displayed how to be a servant of all
How blessed we are if we answer His call
You set out patience and perseverance
Your silence was notable adherence
We cannot imagine the perpetual pain
And all for our eternal life to gain
You exemplified unconditional love
What we struggle to be capable of
With each step to Your final elevation
Each part of You in abject ablation
Sweet Jesus – What have You done for us
Humiliating degradation thus
The agony had to be core complete
For propitiation – our sin to delete
The example of patient perseverance
Is one we must learn for apt adherence
We forget – we complain – of daily woes
You sorely suffered at the hands of Your foes
Our lives in turmoil – our nation in distress
There appears to be no end to the duress
And yet – when we think of Your sacrifice
All that we suffer is naught imprecise
Thus – If we turn the cross into a plus
We see clearly what You have done for us
The love displayed by Your outstretched arms
Anything we suffer – Your love disarms
Thank You, Sweet Jesus, for so loving us
For reopening Heaven – surely a plus
At the end of our lives here on Earth
A glorious reward of wondrous worth

Well, I raked and dug in the dirt around the sun room addition that is mounded up from when they dug out the foundation to get all the pieces of root out of it. Sherry picked up the pieces of roots from the old Chinese Elm that was near that and that I had cut down about 13 years ago. And that is about it for outside work today since despite a forecast for dry weather, it is raining. If it gives me a break I’ll go round the foundation of the house, new garage, and old garage and my sheds with a shaker bag of ant killing granules. Other than that, I hope has stopped raining by 5 PM because dinner tonight is pork chops off the grill, baked sweet potatoes, and home made cole slaw.
Just buy the shredded mix of cabbage and carrots for slaw, or do it yourself, and pour Marzetti slaw dressing on it and toss it in and you’ve got better slaw than you’ve probably ever bought anywhere.
LOL! Zero chance of rain on my phone app this morning and we were in the “slight” chance of severe weather area according to NOAA. It’s wet and now we have a tornado watch! But you know “climate scientists” from NOAA and NASA can tell you what the climate will be 50 years from now!
Oh. BTW if you haven’t made slaw like that before, use less dressing than you think you should when you toss it in or you’ll end up with a pool of dressing in the bottom of the bowl. Chill it and if you need more dressing you can always add more since Marzetti dressings all require refrigeration. You won’t fing them on the shelves of the store with most of the other dressings. Usually their kept refrigerated right next to the refrigerated produce.
Sounds delish, rah!
Love Cole slaw and eat once a week, grating it!
Dressing is small amount of mayo.
Sometimes I make dressing with mayo, milk, sugar, vinegar.
Have you had German Cole slaw- it’s so good.
No mayo, but marinated in vinegar, sugar, and some kind of spice. Can’t recall.
Need to find recipe!!
Love baked sweet potatoes, too. Drenched in butter, of course!
Happy for you, rah…
Finishing your house projects, being at home with your beloved, enjoying good meals …
Blessings for sure.
Gottta a long way to go yet but getting there on what I want. Managed to get out between rains and shake the ant poison pellets all around the foundation of the house, new garage, old garage and sheds. Sherry is making the slaw and getting the sweet potatoes ready for baking as I write this. Under a tornado watch until 7 PM but according to the radar the tail end of the last squall line is passing over us right now and it should be clear sailing after that except for the wind.
I spent about 4 years in Europe when in the Army. Most of it in Germany. So I know what your talking about. But I actually prefer our type of slaw. What I miss about Germany when it comes to consumption is the Beer, Brats, Breads, and Cheese cake.
Right there with you, rah, 6 years in Germany myself, 4 in Mainz, 2 in Erlangen between Bamberg and Nuremberg. Great memories and I so miss the food.
3 years Flint Kasserne, Bad Tolz. The rest was TDY for training, schools, or joint exercises. Spent some time in every West European country but Sweden. Never was on the mainland of Portugal but passed through the Azores, which is a possession of Portugal several times. Though I was in Italy several different times I never made to Rome or points south of there on the boot.
