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 †

Ad rem, I did not intend to flag this, rather, tried to edit my adjacent post and clicked wrong item.
I don’t know where you (or whomever marked this) is getting that only Michael is named in Scripture.
Gabriel is mentioned NUMEROUS times!
He’s speaking of mentioned as an ‘Archangel’ – is that what you’re talking about too?
Found this on 1st page of search: “The Bible only attributes the rank of “Archangel” to one angel: Michael. Although some wonder if we have a second angel, Gabriel, from the Bible, Scripture never labels him as an archangel.” I’m sure you’d find same on any search engine.
Well done.
Even Michael as the highest order of the angels would not bring an accusation against satan but said ” the LORD rebuke thee!”
We mortals with eternal souls cannot stand against the enemy of our souls without the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Thank You Jesus that you did not leave us alone but gave us Your Spirit.
Morning, Garrison….well, here I am yet again, my mind whirling. A lovely cup of tea, darkness, quiet, and your beautiful music. There are some advantages to a sleeplessness 💕
And as long as I’m up, I might as well get started on CURSDAY!!!
The expression you make when you walk into a room of strangers and everyone is glad to see you!!.😍
💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕 💕
He can’t read …
When you’re forced to dress for a family photo
I knew someone long ago who funded a whole year of her university tuition from the sale of her Irish Setter’s litter of 12 (!!!!) puppies. Mom looked just like this 💕
Maybe making a downpayment on a house would be a better re-investment!
These days, yes 👍🏻
Wow!
I recall being a really little guy, no more than four years old, and someone nearby had a beautiful Irish Setter. That dog was lovable and gentle and left a positive impression that lasts to this day…….well over fifty years later.
Gorgeous dogs.
Long ago, tuition was more reasonable.
Propaganda apparently costs a lot more than education.
Bingo! 😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣
Dear Bets,
You’re really nailing it today – you oughta stay awake more often! 😊
Hahahahaha!!!! Its the curating which takes time, but once I get all my ducks (dogs) in a row, posting them is a joy and piece of cake 💕
I was waiting for you to post this sweet baby. He’s not a dog but he has a place of honour here, sis. I think you will love him. I did 😌😘
Would have done earlier but my wonderful dentist pulled out all the stops before he left for a couple of weeks for his holidays to get my crown fitted, ordered and on. Let me know this morning of the opening he arranged….just back. Done! Gosh I love my dentist and all his ladies who keep him on the straight and narrow (which he acknowledges 😂)!!!
❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️ 😍 💖
He’s so perfect, he almost looks like a toy! Oh, to hug that baby. Thank you, sis 😘
Morning Betsy!
Setters are wonderful – that breed is one of the best for checking all the boxes!
You may remember that my son’s English Setter died suddenly last November?
He hasn’t been the same since a big piece of his heart went with her …
There’s a saying: sympathy is brief, but grief lasts forever.
That may be true …
Here’s fav pic of his dog (child).
🥲
😘
Oh Della 💕!! That is what you call a noble head. I do remember. And it is a truth to say my heart breaks for your son because my heart is still broken for the loss of our Penny before we moved back here. I remember coming back to a house on the day which seemed lifeless. A loving spirit gone. Too short, too short…their lives are too short…
And while a huge pieces of our hearts go with them, they stay in what’s left of ours always.
I hope the day will come for your lad when another who needs the love he has to give will step into the breach…not to replace because none could. But to start to fill the hole that gorgeous good boy left. Child is so right…💔
Yes, “noble” is a good descriptor!
Setters have a distinct “dignified look.”
Thanks for your kind words.
All of us know the feelings of a broken heart – in this broken world.
And, we long to return to those happy times; yet we must press forward – without them.
(Hopefully, with lessons learned.)
🥰
I remember in Shadowlands, that.most wonderful movie about CS Lewis when his colleague in a pitiful attempt to offer condolences on the death of Lewis’s wife said life has to go on. To which Lewis said that he didn’t know that it had to, but that it certainly did.
And right there was a summing up of everyone who grieves the loss of a beloved one, be they a person or a “child” such as your son’s sweet companion. One simply adjusts to the way things are, one day at a time. The length of the process of that is indeterminate and different for all of us. I’m not lecturing because you know this.
But I do know, from one mother to another, when this happens to our children, no matter how old they are, there is grief for us, too, watching the grief of our own…understanding it’s something they have to endure and work through themselves. One of the hardest aspects of being a mother.
Press on indeed, dear Della. So glad we don’t do it alone 💔🙏🏻
Your words are so touching and precious, Betsy.
Not only to me, but for anyone that needs to hear them. They are deep and what life is made of.
Yes, our mother hearts grieve when our children hurt.
And we wish we could bear their pain, but it really helps them in the long run.
But the Lord gives us strength to be there for them, especially in prayers.
Nowadays I couldn’t take two steps without His Presence.
You keep pressing on, too, Betsy!
Never give up and we’ll cross the finish line.
Thank you for the beautiful message.
🥰
Oh, Miss.Della,
Give your boy a big hug.
In 2022, we lost 2 dogs, a kitty, and our old burro; I had trouble putting one foot in front of the other – would notice I had tears rolling down my face for seemingly no reason.
What helped the most was having to continue caring for the rest of the fur guys. ❤️ 🐕 😺 🫏
Thank you, lady, for the thoughtful words!
Such a hard, hard thing for you – losing four friends in short time … I’m so sorry.
I believe that suffering changes a person in many ways. For the good – at least, it should.
Makes us more compassionate, thankful, and stronger faith, for starters.
It’s not in vain …
Bless you, lady.
And you and your son, Miss.Della. ❤️ 🙏
I know it’s getting rather long in the tooth for Cursday, but I wanted to post a picture of my dog Sweeney who passed two years ago. He was such a special boy and overcame so many difficulties with grace, and live, and even humor. We named him after Charles Sweeney, the pilot of Bocks Car, the B29 that delivered the bomb to Nagasaki in 1945.
Good afternoon, Della!
So very nice to “see” you and what a beautiful granddog you had. I can imagine how sore her loss still is.
We tried to adopt last Sunday, but I was talked out of it by a friend because of our elder kitty who is adverse to dogs.
Well….. our friend, Chris, came by with his two hounds and what did our elder cat do??? Not a thing! The hounds were outside the door and even one tried to lunge a little and bark loudly at Timmy, the mean ol’ cat, and Tim did absolutely nothing.
Savannah was fit to be tied.
Then we went for a walk at our favorite frog pond and park and what do we run smack dab into? A full grown husky mix similar to the puppy we were looking at adopting.
Who was crying? Me.
Savannah now has a love/hate relationship with her best friend cat right now. After our friend talked us out of it, we stayed resigned to Timmy living out his days and finishing his life with us before we adopted a dog.
Now – I come here and the onslaught is merciless!
The Lord really knew what He was doing when He made our best furry friends. They are heart stealers, but their loyalty is so beautiful. They can TAKE my heart, my money, my time, my space. HAVE IT ALL.
I hope you are feeling so much better, friend. Think of you often.
Thank you, Woo, for your thoughtfulness, as you always are towards others!
Feeling much better after two months of sickness.
*Thank the Lord.*
Been off and on at CTH, but try to keep up on prayer thread.
Many hurting people are trying to carry heavy burdens.
Sorry the adoption didn’t work out. There must be a good reason – tho unknown to you – that the door was shut. The right time will come, I’m sure!
Yes, cats and dogs are the best gifts from God!
Just thinking: all I need right now is a furry friend, few books, coffee, solitude, and peace.
Love you, Woo
🥰
Good Morning Betsy pictures are wonderfully delightful just
what we all need. Peace
Good morning, light 💕 I need them, my friend. And I know our family here needs them, too. A moment to disengage and withdraw from this world for just a moment. Yes peace….wherever we can find it 🕊

A tale from Wales
Beddgelert
Gelert the defender
One day, the prince and his princess set out for a day’s hunting together, leaving their baby in the safe care of Gelert. On returning home they were horrified to discover the baby was missing and Gelert’s muzzle was covered in blood.
Llywelyn immediately drew his sword and killed his favourite hound. As Gelert fell to the ground a baby’s cry was heard from a dark corner of the room.
Llywellyn discovered his heir was lying safe. But, by the baby’s side lay a mighty wolf, which had been killed by Gelert. The protective hound had killed the wolf to defend the baby but had then died by his master’s sword.
Oh Monti!!!! How have I been here this long and neglected to tell the tale of Beddgelert?? A tale which would make the strongest man weep uncontrollably. As I am about to do…again

My uncle had those same piercing blue eyes and blonde hair. (And cigarette, haha)
Still remember his stunning eyes … they cut through you.
Sidenote: My dear uncle joined the U.S. Navy, fought in WW2, and lost a kidney there.
Would hate for him to see this country now …
Dazzling eyes up close; lucky you!
Fortunately he had one left (really). Hope he didn’t suffer too much after healing.
❤️🩹 yes, it is heart aching what the dirty dogs have been doing.
I trust that our Lord will give them only so many more feet….

And I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Just stunning!!
I think I’ll linger of this one for a little while 😌💕
And just in case you’d like to pronounce Beddgelert like a Welshman, the double “ds” are pronounced as “th” 😉
great photo, thx
I once saw two full bows and a tertiary partial about like that one
similar and very special lighting conditions
— frontal band of clouds passing over our location, west to east, full-sky-covering blanket
and completely covering our location except to the west
— sun setting in the west in a band of clear sky, cloudless sky below the cloud blanket — the
“back of the front”
— hold your arm out and it was about a fist high of clear sky above the west horizon
— dark sky to the east, blue-black
— the rainbows were to the south or east as I recall, against the blue-black sky and lit from
“behind”, from the setting sun in the west
— primary and secondary bows were complete and vivid
— tertiary bow was partial, only near the ground like that photo
— East Coast US, Jersey, at the beach
Cool !!!
But one time….I saw a….DOUBLE RAINBOW
Sounds amazing nim
yeah, I reckon it’s pretty rare
Mornin’ Bet. Had another fall, spent yesterday in the emergency room. Aside from scratches and a fractured rib (ouch), I’m actually in pretty good shape . . . for an old man. I was worried about an irregular heart beat but the doctor said it was common in people as old as I am .
Afternoon, dear G.
I am VERY SORRY to hear about your fall and hurt rib (ouch!). That is a terrible way to take a “day off”.
Maybe it’s not an “irregular heartbeat” inasmuch as it’s your heart “skipping a beat” at all your fair and pretty lady guitarist videos????
Take a load off, friend. Betsy wll brew the Bustello, Patience will bring you a pillow, and I’ll work up a taco with some churro beans for you. Feel better, my dear friend.
Good thinkin, Woo!!!
Pillow and foot therapy comin❣️
🙄Dab nab it…. Phew!
Might a walking cane help in the future?
Be thinking —even more — about you now, my man Garrison. 🥰
Oh Garrison, so very sorry. Ribs Hurt! Ow! You can try some arnica gel, and also arnica homeopathic pellets for the pain. Bromelain will reduce bruising -all available at any health food store or natural grocer. All the best for a speedy recovery 🙏
Oh dear, Garrison!
Thankful it was’t worse.
Sending a prayer up for you …
Hope your healing will come quickly, and please take it easy while on the mend!
Good morning Garrison
She is a remarkable artist. Truly gifted. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, once again for uplifting our spirits and bringing such enjoyment to our ears.
Good stuff!!!
Have a wonderful day, my man Garrison💖💖💖
Howdy Garrison!
Hope the ribs are better Garrison.

This video is causing rage in Israel. Gazans having fun at the beach while Israeli hostages are diminishing and dying in captivity with no help while we’re blamed of “genocide”, etc… Look close and see the details, the soccer game, the boats, etc…
I actually think that this should be shared all over. Thanks.
https://youtube.com/shorts/NlJmW9HQFjQ?si=9rQ1mcCi_MN5pWQm
It certainly does not look like the beaches of Normandy on D Day June 6, 1944
David, are there any hopes the hostages are still alive? Biden Inc has shown no concern at all for their safety or return.
I’m also reading there have been 50 suicides amongst those who were at the festival who witnessed the atrocities of October 7. I pray BiBi stays strong and that Israelis continue to strongly support him and your forces until what needs to be done is completed 🙏🏻
I have seen that the largest number alive, of the 134 hostages, is likely less than 90. That was from Caroline Glick, and I think she was possibly quoting the Israeli government or defence forces ???
But then someone online commented that Hamas is rejecting the ceasefire deals because the first release is 40 hostages and they think less than 40 remain alive.
I’m sad to say that I think less than 40 alive sounds likely to me. I try to have a little hope – but it’s hard and I don’t have a lot.
It was me who said that they had no 40. But they referred to the first stage of 40 women, badly injured and over 50 years old. The number was not general to all ages. The hostages have high value. They don’t want to lose them. But there are so many people holding them in various places so the situations are different from place to place. .
No, I saw it from some person unknown to me. Most likely from a comment somewhere on twitter. And this other person had said a total of less than 40 alive. And I remember because I told my mum – and if it had come from you, I would have told her. I refer to you as “my Israeli guy on the American site”.
You are much loved by my family and friends, too. As I’m passing on some of your updates.
Thank you. Good to hear.
Hi Betsy. The “50 suicides” from the Nova festival is false. It was said by a survivor who was protesting that the government is not helping them enough. The Official Mental Health authority said that there were 2-3 suicides and even those are not necessarily because of the Festival. There is also a lot of fake news about involuntary psychiatric institutionalizing. The enemies of Israel love to spread such news.
We don’t know how many hostages are alive. Officially the number is 133. every few weeks we hear about another one “confirmed dead”. In the last “deal” they pulled back and wanted to release only 20. But the hostages have a high value so I doubt that they want to execute them unless they want to hide evidence of rape etc…
Unfortunately, Biden’s most pressing concern is when he gets his next ice cream cone. I am not being flippant. Sad.
When I think of genocide, I consider the rollout of Event 201 on the global population, not Israel responding militarily to mass murder and kidnapping.
Here is a publication from Nature Medicine that describes the rollout of experimental mRNA injections in Israel:
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-021-01337-2
Whether Nature Medicine is publishing science or “Science” is another question.
Thank you.

Israel Update:
-18 Israelis were injured at the north mostly reservists, soldiers, who were in a community center in an Arab town. An ambush of a suicide drone along with anti tank missiles. 6 badly injured and 2 medium the rest light. Some suspicion that locals gave the intel because all other buildings were occupied by arabs. Israel responded in Lebanon on Hezbollah targets.
-A report from the US that Israel will not attack until after Passover. Makes sense. We don’t want everyone to be in shelters on Passover night when families celebrate.
-A report from Egyptians that Israel had a deal with the US that we get the green light on getting into Rafah without consequences at the US and in exchange the response on Iran will be limited. Note: My latest reports mentioned that there will be a deal like that. It makes sense. But this is war and you never know.
-This one is a piece of information that I ran across from an Interview with a Parliment member Avigdor Lieberman. He is in the opposition but he was in the past a Defense Minister. He said that the reasons that the Iranian attack failed are of course years of developing counter missile defenses but also the American help was critical because the US has radars located in the areas of Iran and Iraq etc… and therefore the Intel was critical in intercepting the attack aside for some 80 targets that the US with allies intercepted out of some 350-400.
Now, if you watched my translated video a couple of days ago with the pilot, he said that a part of the reasons that they succeeded was the intel of what is coming and from where.
So Lieberman said that without such American help and if it was all aimed at civilian population we could have a disaster. There were missiles there with a half a tone explosives that could destroy buildings. So his advice was to have a good talk with the Americans and coordinate the next moves including Rafah and all. It looks like this is exactly what’s happening.
-I posted above a video of many thousands of Gazans on the beach playing soccer, boating and overall having fun. This caused some outrage in Israel because of the hostages who are dying in captivity with no help. Also because of the “Genocide and starvation” accusations. But I have to mention that about a week plus ago Bibi had a very difficult conversation with Biden who was furious about the humanitarian crisis. Since then there are two Gates operating from Israel to Gaza and there are some crazy amount of humanitarian aide enters daily. I actually saw a video yesterday of a soldier inside Gaza pissed off that the numerous trucks are entering from Israel. A feeling of helping the enemy. So I am saying that there is a change in the humanitarian situation. If you ask me, the PR damage from images of hunger was a strategic error and Israel must make sure that the civilians are fed and the fact that Hamas was stealing trucks is no excuse. Now, I am saying this from a pragmatic point of view. With over 70% of civilians supporting the 10/7 I would open the gates and let the run to Egypt if it was possible. But it’s not possible and we need to finish with Hamas and do whatever it takes within existing circumstances and the circumstances are that there is a dependency on US help both with munitions and with the international arena.
We are close to achieving a major step in eliminating Hamas and we need to move forward.
The Iranian attack actually led to the world be more open for our action in Gaza if we just don’t flame out the whole Middle East with a war with Iran.
Take care and God Bless you!
Perfect song 🙂

Albert Einstein
(1879-1955)
German-born theoretical physicist & Nobel laureate (theory of relativity), dies of an abdominal aortic aneurysm at 76
Biography: Albert Einstein was a German theoretical physicist, whose profound contributions to science made him one of the most renowned scientists in history. His theory of relativity and the famous equation E=mc^2 are landmarks in the field of physics.
Einstein’s pioneering work on the photoelectric effect earned him the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics and laid a key foundation for quantum theory. Notably, a poll conducted by Physics World named him the greatest physicist of all time.
Albert Einstein was born in 1879 in the German Empire. His parents, Hermann Einstein and Pauline Koch, were secular Ashkenazi Jews. The following year, the Einstein family relocated to Munich, where Hermann and his brother established an electrical equipment manufacturing company.
Einstein’s formal education began at a Catholic elementary school and continued at the Luitpold Gymnasium. After his father’s business failed, in 1894 the Einsteins moved to Italy. His talent for mathematics and physics was evident from a young age, with the youth avidly self-studying in these subjects.
Completing his secondary schooling in Aarau, Switzerland, he renounced his German citizenship in 1896 and enrolled at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic School in Zurich. It was there that he met his future wife, Mileva Marić. After graduating in 1900, he gained Swiss citizenship the following year.
Einstein commenced his professional career in 1902 when he took up a job at the Swiss Patent Office in Bern. While working here, he simultaneously conducted his own research. This dual engagement bore fruit in 1905 when he published four influential papers in the journal Annalen der Physik.
These papers, which included expositions on the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, special relativity, and mass-energy equivalence, had a monumental impact on modern physics. Building on this success, in 1915, Einstein formulated the general theory of relativity, integrating gravitation with the principles of mechanics.
With a move to Berlin in 1914 to join the Prussian Academy of Sciences and the Humboldt University, he solidified his academic standing. The rise of Adolf Hitler in 1933, however, prompted Einstein, a Jewish intellectual, to remain in the United States during a visit. By 1940, he had accepted American citizenship.
Despite his achievements, later in his career Einstein pursued a unified field theory without success and expressed his dissatisfaction with the inherent randomness of quantum mechanics. During this period he frequently clashed with Niels Bohr over the Copenhagen interpretation, famously claiming that God “does not throw dice.”
In his personal life, Einstein had various complex relationships. He married Mileva Marić in 1903, with whom he had two sons, but they divorced in 1919. That same year, he married his cousin Elsa Löwenthal, and they stayed married until her death in 1936. His passion for music, especially for Mozart’s compositions, was a significant part of his life.

“So through the night rode Paul Revere;
And so through the night went his cry of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,—
A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo forevermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.”

Israel is still deeply mourning yet doing so much to help herself and the world.
What a great nation!
And, David, we are so Blessed to have you (while in grief very likely yourself) painstakingly and consistently translating and sharing the most accurate info you can find.
That’s not easy to do when one is in “normal” times.
You have my deepest admiration for what you are doing so often for us here at CTH.
God Bless You and your Wife and Family, your Friends, the IDF,
the HOSTAGES and their loved ones, Israel’s Leaders, all Israelis,
and visitors to Israel.
🙏 ❤️ 🙏 Amen

Thank you very much. I am helping Israel in my humble way by clarifying things here and getting more support and prayers. Help is my motivation. In this case help Israel. Help is an energizer. When you help you have energy because it’s a basic intention of the human soul.

READINESS
“God called unto him…and he said, Here am I.” Exodus iii. 4
When God speaks, many of us are like men in a fog, we give no answer. Moses’ reply revealed that he was somewhere. Readiness means a right relationship to God and a knowledge of where we are at present. We are so busy telling God where we would like to go. The man or woman who is ready for God and His work is the one who carries off the prize when the summons comes. We wait with the idea of some great opportunity, something sensational, and when it comes we are quick to cry – “Here am I.” Whenever Jesus Christ is in the ascendant, we are there, but we are not ready for an obscure duty.
Readiness for God means that we are ready to do the tiniest little thing or the great big thing, it makes no difference. We have no choice in what we want to do, whatever God’s programme may be we are there, ready. When any duty presents itself we hear God’s voice as Our Lord heard His Father’s voice, and we are ready for it with all the alertness of our love for Him. Jesus Christ expects to do with us as His Father did with Him. He can put us where He likes, in pleasant duties or in mean duties, because the union is that of the Father and Himself. “That they may be one, even as We are one.”
Be ready for the sudden surprise visits of God. A ready person never needs to get ready. Think of the time we waste trying to get ready when God has called! The burning bush is a symbol of everything that surrounds the ready soul, it is ablaze with the presence of God.

I’ve paid my dues
Time after time
I’ve done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I’ve made a few
I’ve had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I’ve come through (And we mean to go on and on and on and on)

Via Gates of Vienna, an Ann Coulter (nyet!) event at Cornell is disrupted by an assistant tenure track professor who experiences a tutorial in her academic discipline, “interpersonal communication”, after engaging in disorderly conduct.

Monica Cornejo, an assistant professor of interpersonal communication, was forcibly removed from a Cornell University event this week after disrupting a speech by conservative commentator Ann Coulter. She is only the latest faculty member to seek to prevent others from hearing opposing views. The question now is what Cornell will do about her conduct.
Hopefully, they do not promote her.

The Irish Way
As a bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the backcountry. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn’t stop for directions.
I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.
I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn’t know what else to do, so I started to play.
The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I’ve never played before for this homeless man.
And as I played ‘Amazing Grace,’ the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.
As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, “I never seen nothin’ like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.”
Apparently, I’m still lost… It’s a man thing.
Thank you Sheri, for emailing this to us and thank you to our friends across the pond: The Irish Way!
Patience you are wonderful and I’am grateful when I see all the postings you share. Peace

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;”
Ephesians 5:25 (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.

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
BE A BLESSING
When out doing errands – what do you do?
Do you smile at others – acknowledge them, too?
A kind word can make – all of the difference;
In a life filled with turmoil and incoherence!
When a soul is troubled – do you turn away?
Do you think – no, not me – or another day?
When one in need – for his family – pleads;
Do you think only – of your own selfish needs?
When someone calls – with you needs to talk;
Do you grumble and groan – sometimes balk?
Can you – be a blessing – listen with care?
Or do you find your mind – to be elsewhere?
What if God said – I do not have the time?
I can’t help you – don’t even have a dime;
I have no smile to share – I’m busy today;
I wish you would move along and go away!
How would you feel if God ignored your needs?
If His love was conditional – dependent on deeds;
If He closed the door – to you when you’re hurt;
Around each heartfelt prayer – He seemed to skirt!
You might feel abandoned – unloved and shunned;
You might be astonished – or even stunned;
You might question His Word – His promises, too;
You might wonder why – He abandoned you!
That’s how Jesus feels – when you ignore Him;
When His light and life in you has grown dim;
When you ignore His command to love another;
Pay no attention to the needs of your brother!
Be a blessing today – to all you meet;
Put a smile on your face – share it complete;
With kind, loving words of encouragement;
Dispel any thoughts of discouragement!
Be a friend to the lonely – lift up the poor;
Give love to the homeless – open the door;
Listen when asked – to the pain of another;
Show God’s love for your sister and brother!
Let His love shine through you – today and then;
Repeat it tomorrow – all over again;
With faith, hope, and love – filled to the brim;
He depends upon you – Be a Blessing for Him!

April 18
MORNING
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their Brethren like unto thee. Deut. 18:18
[Moses] stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid. Deut. 5:5
There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. I Tim. 2:5
Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth. Num. 12:3
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matt. 11:29
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. Phil. 2:5-7
Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; but Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Heb. 3:5, 6
EVENING
Everlasting consolation. II Thess. 2:16
I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. Ezek. 16:60
By one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Heb. 10:14
He is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Heb. 7:25
I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. II Tim. 1:12
The gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Rom. 11:29
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Rom. 8:35
The Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Rev. 7:17
So shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. I Thess. 4:17, 18
This is not your rest. Micah 2:10
Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. Heb. 13:14

Love is patient and kind, love does not envy or boast, it is not arrogant. – 1 Corinthians 13:4
Perhaps the most famous tapestry in the world is one on display in Bayeux, France, depicting the conquest of England by William, the Duke of Normandy, in 1066. It is not like tapestries such as the Lady and the Unicorn seen on many greeting cards but is an embroidered “documentary” on the Battle of Hastings that changed England forever. Nearly 230 feet long and 20 inches tall, it contains 58 scenes of the war. Legend says it was embroidered by Matilda, the wife of William the Conqueror, and her ladies of court.
Chapter 13 of 1 Corinthians is often called the Love Chapter. These eloquent verses are frequently read at wedding ceremonies as illustrations of the character of love. In English, the words about love are seen as predicate adjectives. However, in the Greek, the words are verbs—actions.
The characteristics of love are meant to be applied.
As your life unfolds, and as you practice the behaviors that are motivated by love, stitches are embroidered on your life’s history tapestry.
From Earth’s perspective, you may see a bunch of loose yarns, knots, and twists, but as God looks from heaven, He sees a beautiful portrait being developed.
Treat others with patience and kindness, be content and humble, show courtesy, politeness, and sensitivity with an even temperament, care for the needs of others, rejoice in truth and righteousness, selflessly bearing all things, trusting, hoping, and persevering.
Such love comes from continually seeking and yielding to the direction of the Holy Spirit in your life.
Pray for the judges and justices in America’s courts to practice such Godly traits as they weave the nation’s history through their rulings on cases before them.
