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 †

Good morning
and
Thank you; lovely,
my man Garrison💖
Hi Patience! ❤️
Morning, bro!! 😘
Hello there, Pa❣️❣️❣️❣️
Morning, Miss P and sweet Ma 🕊☕🕊
(((((Hellllloooooo)))))
Hillbilly Moms Letter
( HILARIOUS ) 😂😅🤣
Don’t Be Offended, Laughter Begins
With Laughing At Yourself.
Dear Son,
I’m writing this slow ’cause I know you can’t read fast.
We don’t live where we did when you left.
Your dad read in the paper that most accidents happen within twenty miles of home, so we moved.
Won’t be able to send you the address as the last Arkansas family that lived here took the numbers with them for their house, so they wouldn’t have to change their address.
This place has a washing machine. The first day I put four shirts in it, pulled the chain and haven’t seen ’em since.
It only rained twice this week, three days the first time and four days the second time.
The coat you wanted me to send to you, Aunt Sue said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with them heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.
We got a bill from the funeral home, and it said if we didn’t make the final payment on Grandma’s funeral bill, up she comes.
About your sister, she had a baby this morning. I haven’t found out whether if it is a boy or girls so don’t know if you are an Aunt or Uncle???
Your Uncle John fell in the whiskey vat. Some men tried to get him out, but he fought them off playfully, so he drowned.
We cremated him and he burned for three days.
Three of your friends went off the bridge in a pickup.
One was driving and the other two were in the back. The driver got out. He rolled down the window and swam to safety.
The other 2 drowned. They couldn’t get the tailgate down.
Not much more news this time.
Nothing much happened.
If you don’t get this letter, please let me know and I will send another one.
Love, Mom
P.S. – I was going to send you some spending money, but I had already sealed the envelope and mailed it.

Oh how you’ve reminded me…
My mother-in-law used to write weekly missives (though not like that!!!) on her hunt and peck old typewriter. No copy machine, so carbons. Just the lowdown on family in their über small Texas town. So interesting, especially as a cousin who was an intimate friend of LBJ’s (yes, I know) lived there and so all his political connections made their way to his large country pile and would inevitably end up at my in-laws for jolly good food, drink, conversation and laughter.
One early morning as we were sitting at the small kitchen table having breakfast, this cousin walked in with then Lieutenant Governor of Texas, Bill Hobby, who was cheerfully included in the delicious meal.
Another cousin was the eminent pediatrician and author of the most wonderful books (of which I think I had all), T Berry Brazleton. Another cousin was the wife of the owner of Justin Boots (cowboy) and mayor of Ft Worth at one time, she herself being the author of a wonderful cookbook entitled Mother Jane’s Prescriptions for Hunger.
She was quite glamorous and had two sisters the same. All awesome cooks.
You can imagine how entertaining those letters were because no one ever knew who would drop in unexpectedly or when. But my in-laws were always prepared with whatever was going, food and drink. They were the best hosts….casual and unassuming and welcoming and unfazed by unexpected company which were all welcomed as old friends…even if meeting them for the first time.
Reading those letters (and of course keeping them as a family history) was like catching up on the next episode of a family tv show. And as my mother in law had a wonderful way with words, many a chuckle we got from them.
Thanks, dear Patience, for the unexpected fond memory of times long gone…but always and forever remembered 😌💕
I’ll bet y’alls family reunions were memorable as well!!
We saw so much of one another, Ps. Every time was wonderful😘
Morning Garrison!
Good morning, Garrison💕 Two things I need most this morning. Your beautiful music and lots of this!!
☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ !!!
Which I am getting HERE!! (see below😉)
Plenty of seating! Everyone come joins me and let’s sort this old world out 😎👍🏻
Mornin’ Bets
Love to come – but, I’m just on my way out. Our son is almost here to help with some of the heavier things we have to do.
I’ve seen some of your posts on the other threads – you always nail it! ❤️
You go steady, sis (as my British father in law called “being careful”). I’m so glad he’s to hand to help. We all get to that age when like it or not, we need it.
Yes, I’ve been dashing here and there like a manic May fly. With Sundance back and the multiple interesting threads, I just HAVE to get my two cents worth in. Chatty Cathy of the Keyboard!! 😂 There are just days when waking hours aren’t enough…
Catch you later 💕
Yes, Bets what a blessing to have him here. He and his wife care for her mother in addition to working full time. They try to arrange their schedules to be there all the time because she is in the early stages of dementia. He has always been that person. Always has put others ahead of himself. ❤️
Because of that situation, we don’t see him as often as we would like, but totally understand and, love his mother in law – she’s a lovely lady.
I tried to help him him lift hay bales and we got to laughing because I was such a weakling! I overestimate my abilities!
Anyway, we had a lovely lunch afterward and Lloyd was feeling well. Can’t ask for more.
Loved hearing about your mother in law’s missives. What an interesting life!
I am so sorry to hear of the trials your son and his wife are going through, sis…so sorry. The worry while keeping body and soul together in these fraught uncertain times. But since he is yours and Lloyd’s, I am not surprised to hear what a wonderful, loving man he is.
We watch what our children have to deal with, no matter their ages, and what life deals to them. I know you’re like me in wishing we could lift their burdens in whatever way we might be able to. Mothers especially feel this I believe. All mine are going through various trials and worries…that’s life, isn’t it?
And I find that the only thing I can do is offer them up in prayer to Christ and His loving care and trust He is doing things for them better than anything I could hope or pray for.
I don’t call that doing something small. It is perhaps the grandest most important thing any parent can do especially when our chicks fly away 🙏🏻💕🕊
I am glad Lloyd is feeling better!! Such good news, Corny. Every blessing a gift. May all of you receive so many you won’t be able to count them all. God IS so good!!🤗
Bets
You always warm my heart with your thoughtful posts.
This Kiddo is such a joy for us. He had a devastating injury to his ankle/foot 18 years ago – was in danger of losing his foot in fact. It’s looking like he is going to need ankle replacement surgery soon, but remains upbeat and optimistic always.
Though we miss seeing him more often, I’m proud of him for stepping up to care for his mother in law without complaint.
I told him I needed a break and was coming to live with him too, he said, “oh, no you’re not!”
😁 🤣 😂
Text and audio
It’s a TRAP!!!
It’s always a trap.
The oldest trap in the book.
The booby trap.
Trust God. Fear not.
He’s like putty in her hands, of course.
Morning, Corny!! 💕☕
No better Bond than Sir Sean Connery. They broke the mold when the cast him.
(I’m seizing, I’m SEIZING!!!!! 😁👍🏻)
Oh yes, Sean Connery – none better. Also love any movie with Clint Eastwood, James Garner, Anthony Hopkins, or Michael Caine. The best.
Not THAT James Bond, no! She’s putty in HIS hands haha. Sean was the best (Roger Moore was a distant second).
It’s a TRAP!!!
nah – it’s a leggy brunette
Mornin’ Patience
Hard to tell who is happiest!
Afternoon, Lady.
Hopin good things for Honey & you ❣️
Love this one, nim 💕
I’m melting😻
Nim, more like Fatman
I need that on a T-shirt.
Another one, nim … 😁
That is definitely from the files of….”I gotta have me one of THOSE !!!”.
I saw this witch on TV the other day and hardly recognized her. I worked for a time in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and I can’t tell what all she’s had done. In any case, it won’t fix her black heart.

Good morning all.
Still here. SPC says 21 tornadoes confirmed yesterday. Portage, MI appears to be the worst of it. That area up there in the Clearwater, Kalamazoo area is pretty densely developed and populated.
So day before yesterday was a very rare “high” potential and there were 17 tornadoes. Yesterday was a much more common “enhanced” potential and there have been 21 reported so far and the worst of the worst occurred in an area they said had “slight” potential.
Just remember not to pay too close attention to the lines they put on their maps.
I think today is likely to be worse than yesterday was. Wait to see how the SPC map changes before posting a link.

Oh Val1,
I HATE to even bring this up, but a youth at my daughter’s work dropped dead. We were notified this morning. Not sure his age, these are late teen, early 20-something kids. They think a heart attack. Of course, we have our suspicions. Treepers, please pray for Eric’s family, friends, and coworkers. Savannah didn’t know him well, she thinks she only worked with him once. This group rotates a lot of their workers between various restaurants.
I pray God be merciful.
Mornin’ Woo
Always tragic when a very young person dies.
I’m sure doctors are “baffled.”
Prayers up for family and friends 🙏
Good morning, Corny,
Hope Lloyd is starting to level out and the pain is more manageable. Praying his frustrations were just in dealing with the anesthesia wearing off and the full effects of the surgery manifesting. Praying for the “other side” of this when he will be made whole again and have a greater return to mobility to make this whole journey… worth it. Blessings on you.
Mornin’ Woo
Great News!
Monday afternoon Lloyd started feeling like he might live (and like he wanted to!), and yesterday he actually laughed a few times and walked a bit with me. Hallelujah!!!
Thank you to all for your prayers and good wishes. ❤️
Our son is coming to help with things today. We need to get hay for burros – those bales are Heavy!!!
That’s Louisa in the foreground. Whenever she drinks, she sticks out her tongue. 😁
So precious! Enjoying your yard photos! Your property looks wonderful!
Thank you, Slowcobra
We do love our place, our land, and our animals, but we are in our mid 70’s, and wow it’s fairly daunting! Most people our age are talking about their cruises and such. And we’re figuring out how to fix the irrigation to our pecan trees!
Just got a notice from UPS that I need to trim back trees if I want deliveries! Will be out there tomorrow morning. It will help when my husband is back in the fray!
Louisa is just beautiful. I’ve never seen an all white burro before. Happy that Lloyd is improving. Day by day! Enjoy your time with your son and I hope Lloyd has more laughs stored up to be had. He can just read here for some lighthearted silliness.
Tonight is the Open House at Vincennes University – so preparing for that. Daughter has been working on building essays for scholarship submissions. I made her some cute little business cards and she has an education and career “resume” to bring along to pass out to the employer sponsors at the Open House tonight.
We also received some good news about the therapeutic horseback riding center she volunteers for. She is returning there this summer and they are offering a couple of paid positions to her! So she’s going to ease back into volunteering at the barn – be evaluated – and then pursue the paid position(s) as appropriate.
They offered her paid positions with: barn help, side walker and horse lead with the disabled students, and Lead Volunteer, which that position may be a bit too ahead of ourselves for the moment. Daughter needs to work on being a bit more confident and assertive, but with consistency and ramped up participation this summer – I see her easily getting there. She would have done the barn work for free, but it is really nice they are offering to pay her.
This will be nice to add to her fast food earnings to build and save towards college, plus get her OUTSIDE in the FRESH AIR with the HORSES she loves.
That’s great!
No time for a puppy; see?
😋
Maybe that puppy would have been more for ME?!?
I’m seeing my daughter’s future bust at the seams with opportunities.
Oh Woo
What an opportunity for Savannah. Animals help grow confidence. I bet she will excel!
There is a horse rescue organization out in our area called Equine Voices. They take Premarin horses. Those are mares that were continually kept pregnant in order to produce Premarin. The market for that drug has greatly subsided, and those horses need a sanctuary.
Equine Voices is very well received here and the community supports it in many ways. Win – win.
Wonder what they did with all those baby horses????
Such a good night tonight. Will post more tomorrow.
I’m going to pass out!
Morning JWoo! Prayers up for Eric’s family.
Good afternoon, M. Happy to hear you are home safe and sound. Thank you for the prayers for Eric. We are waiting to hear if there’s anything we can do for the family. Sad situation.
Wow. What unimaginable heartache the family is going thru. Prayers up for them.
Agreed, Marti. It sets the kids back a bit to see their own pass away. Keeps it fresh in their minds the uncertain environment that was created around COVID. That two years brought a lot of fear into everyone’s lives.

Wasn’t it last week that the terr0rists destroyed what work had been done up to that point by US troops on the gaza pier ?? This would maybe explain the slow-go-march on Rafah. Once the work on the pier is finished we will know….if that is when the all-out-assault on Rafah begins….
Image not found or was removed?
And it was just a map too as I recall … where Rafah was.. pier in center and evacuation from north zone.
2nd time I’ve seen a removal for a JWoo upload there on postimages. weird unless she removed…
Not removed.
Some platforms don’t show it sometimes, particularly Android devices in my own experience.
Well, good to know even postimages is filtering now … imgur is about a 90% filter rate to me … postimages was never …. guess someone changed their minds then.
Must be getting close to election time or something.
It is NOT filtering.
It is a platform issue.
I have posted things, seen them “gone” on my phone, then seen them with no problem on my desktop.
Not to say that they can’t be Derp compromised, that power has been granted to the Derps by Speaker No Johnson and anyone can now be forced to comply with their investigatory instigatory edicts.
No, I didn’t remove. Very strange, but I’ve had REALLY WEIRD software issues.

Personally, I desire all people should live in peace and prosperity – sure makes life worth living, and it’s surprisingly simple if one thinks about it – just be nice. Sadly it appears there are those among us who for whatever reason just cannot.
Conspiracies and conflicts ancient and new abound.
Peace is the Prize, it is our prize, but it is not everyone’s prize.

News from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
First, I want to thank you all who are praying for us.
This has been very trying, and I just want to go back home, but as Ms. Della said, God has a reason for everything. This evening, I just learned that my cousin has lost all his business. The place is completely underwater. His wife (who sent us a clip from the evening news showing their business place – I grabbed a screenshot and posted below) was very upset, as they are not young, and they take care of two even older relatives who have mental problems. Maybe this is why God brought us here now. We are willing to help them somehow. Please pray that God will guide us in what to do.
Many people lost everything. We have plenty of blankets, towels, bedding, pots, and pans that my sister-in-law kept in the apartment. The cleaning lady was going to take them, but I don’t know when she’ll be back here, so I’m working on having them ready, as many more people are in need now.
The internet and electricity are working fine, but we’re still without water in the apartment; yesterday afternoon we used the last water we had in the watertank. Thank God, we have bottled water. They said that everything would be back to normal in 24 hours. We can only wait and pray, especially pray!
Thank you all. I will be around here as much as I can because the TreeHouse is, indeed, a refuge.
Praying
Been praying for you, Val, and all affected!
Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power! (Eph. 6:10)
(God) “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me.”
Psalm 50:15
🥰🙏🏻
Thank you, Miss Della! Amen!!
🙏 🙏 🙏
Continuing to pray, Val1. Thankful for the safety of your family and no loss of life was experienced by you and yours. Sorry to hear about your cousin’s business. I pray for its restoration and rebuilding stronger and more prosperous than before. God be merciful.
Thank you, J! Amen!
Oh, Val
That is heart rending. Floods are devastating, and things are not usually righted in the short term.
Praying for your family. 🙏
Amen! Thank you!

He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. – Hebrews 1:3
Hundreds of books have been written and probably millions of sermons have been preached on the mystery of the triune nature of God. The mystery of the Trinity has been debated by such historical persons as John Calvin and Martin Luther.
In the fourth century church of Cappadocia in Turkey, Gregory of Nazianzus wrote, “The one Godhead and power, found in the three in unit, and comprising the three separately; not unequal, in substances or natures, neither increased nor diminished by superiorities nor inferiorities; in every respect equal, in every respect the same.“
There are many places where Scripture reinforces the truth of the Trinity. There is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4). God is the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 1:3). Jesus is fully God (Titus 2:13). The Holy Spirit is God (Hebrews 9:14, Acts 5:3-4). While one, they are distinct (John 14:16-18, 2 Corinthians 13:14).
Theologian Dr. John Stott said the nature of God’s unity is not mathematical but organic. He wrote, “Within the complex mystery of the infinite God are three eternally distinct personal modes of being.”
The book of Hebrews, from which today’s verse comes, clearly spells out the completeness of the deity of Jesus – His nature, His essence, and His power. Faith in God makes it possible for you to accept and acknowledge the truth of the Trinity.
As you express your awe and adoration, wonder and worship in your prayers today, remember to intercede for pastors and teachers in churches across America to preach the eternal truths of God.

THE PAITENCE OF FAITH
“Because thou hast kept the word of My patience.” Rev. iii. 10
Patience is more than endurance. A saint’s life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says – “I cannot stand any more.” God does not heed, He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly. Trust yourself in God’s hands. For what have you need of patience just now? Maintain your relationship to Jesus Christ by the patience of faith. “Though He slay me, yet will I wait for Him.”
Faith is not a pathetic sentiment, but robust vigorous confidence built on the fact that God is holy love. You cannot see Him just now, you cannot understand what He is doing, but you know HIM. Shipwreck occurs where there is not that mental poise which comes from being established on the eternal truth that God is holy love. Faith is the heroic effort of your life, you fling yourself in reckless confidence on God.
God has ventured all in Jesus Christ to save us, now He wants us to venture our all in abandoned confidence in Him. There are spots where that faith has not worked in us as yet, places untouched by the life of God. There were none of those spots in Jesus Christ’s life, and there are to be none in ours. “This is life eternal, that they might know Thee.” The real meaning of eternal life is a life that can face anything it has to face without wavering. If we take this view, life becomes one great romance, a glorious opportunity for seeing marvelous things all the time. God is disciplining us to get us into this central place of power.
Oswald Chambers
May 8th Devotional
Watching a train wreck of a life and I see myself.
I have a passion for guilt, I grew up with it, I hate it. Guilt is the flag in the hole on a golf course. You see it it is the target but must be remove to continue the course. Guilt for most all is an excuse. Satan says “go no further relax here with just guilt. The trial is long guilt is a good stopping point.” So we live in guilt and we make it familiar. Ever hear of familiar spirits? That’s a perfect example.
When you see a person destitute and you hand them money and walk away? That’s guilt. Compassion and love demand more and we all know it. Guilt is a comfy substitute.
The Good Samaritan is Gods way, paying, helping, making sure that soul is loved into submission.
These are the things that you live with that dig at your inner being and we never examine.
It took a destitute crack head to allow me to see the mechanisms of guilt.
Pull up the flag make the shot and move to the next hole.
If you’re getting beat up by guilt about your sins, that’s not God. He has forgiven us of all our sins–past, present, and future–and what’s more, He has chosen to forget them. God NEVER beats us up about our past because He knows we can’t go back and change it. Instead, He counsels (or disciples) us to live in a different way moving forward.
Sure, He may gently tell us that we need to go make peace with someone we’ve hurt, but he never beats us over the head with guilt–that’s satan’s work every time!
Romans 2:4 Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and restraint and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?
Dare say it’s sin it’s not. It’s a place where we were selfish and didn’t see it. If in fact a life has no guilt they are not in step with what God has for them.
Again, guilt is an excuse to stay, to never move.
It is never what you seem it to be and always present.
With God he will not force you only persuade and that’s only if your his own. All are not his, never make that mistake, his children are disciplined.
Guilt is not present in many who see no fault in themselves, and that is the first picture you see when salvation comes. “I am nothing God is all and his grace is my substance, my life.” We are wretched in all we are. “Will I stand or will I fall” in Gods presence? Will you see yourself as you are.
Salvation is opportunity to walk with God and be perfected, eternity is a daily teaching to remove what is not God. Very few will submit.
Amen, Kudzu … amen.
Guilt and shame are from the devil – IF we have been born again.
Once God saves us, He covers that with His mercy and Grace.
He forgets our sins and so should we!
However, oftentimes we dwell on past wrongs.
Then, we recall this Truth:
“There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.”
Romans 8:1
None!
He condemns us no more, and we are free from all our guilty stains!
Thank you, Lord.
Well here is what the SPC has right now. As I suspected, it changed a bit from earlier this morning.
https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/outlook/day1otlk.html
I for one am glad for the change. The high zone moved just east of me in SW Missouri. Will still keep a look out though
It may very well change again.
Storms just barreled thru. Hook echo with radar tornado went about 5 miles south, but we were in the hail core. Had golf ball size hail for about 4 or 5 minutes.
If I were you, I’d feel safer in the “high zone”!
Weather forecasters would make excellent politicians–they know how to lie SO WELL!
Ah yes!
Love it! Super thanks for the clip. First laugh of the day
Exactly!
Gad Saad: “The West is a woman to be mounted.” This is what Arab and Muslim “asylum seekers” think, who see Western compassion, empathy and kindness as a weakness. Anyone who doesn’t understand that this is a huge problem is either stupid or corrupt and profiting from invasion.
Wow, Patience. Mesmerizing!
Mornin’ all!

The “brave” Brazilian students
received their paymentdecided it’s time for them to join the rebellion…It’s like there’s no problem in Brazil, so they looked around and found a cause they can fight for 😏
I bet a good, high-powered fire hosing would wash all that riff-raff right into the gutter!
Shaking my head, Val …
Dimwits nor evil have boundaries.
Spreading everywhere!
Good morning to my 🌳🏠 friends!
WARRIOR WEDNESDAY
I believe this, Stevie.
The Lord lifted me out of the pit and mire, and set my feet on a rock!
Goes along with A. W. Tozer’s quote:
“It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until he has hurt him deeply.”
OF COURSE we’re not qualified–any “qualifications” we have are filthy rags in God’s eyes. It is Christ alone who qualifies us, and when He does that (at the very moment of salvation, I might add), He does it perfectly because everything He does is perfection!
Amen, Kudzu.
WTF is up with Tom Brady. Both he and ex-wife Giselle Bundchen are whining and complaining about the jokes made during the roast.
Did he not understand what a roast is?
Uh oh. Apparently both of them have been infected with Leftism. It causes thinskinitis….
Sleep with dogs you end up with fleas. What did they expect, hanging around with the people in that crowd?
Peaceful Supporters that want to Make America Great Again are labeled Domestic Terrorists by our Communist Govt!
But Thugs that chant “Death to America” are Peaceful Protestors and they support their right to hate America?
What more do you need to know about our corrupt evil Govt?
Islam, Leftists/Democrats. Hate is their common trait. When you are full of hate nothing else matters. No amount of common sense, logic, facts or reasoning can get through to them. So, they continue their hateful ideological cult activity regardless of what is right or wrong.
Yes, Phil
The world is upside down, and our beloved country is no exception.
MAGA is the only counter to it: and even it is only a foot in the door and a chance to recover America.

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
LIGHT OF THE WORLD
Jesus said: Ye are the light of the world
As children of God darkness is unfurled
We walk as children in the light of God
Because He called us out not to be flawed
If we walk in the light as He is in the light
We have fellowship with one another aright
The Blood of the Lamb cleanses all from sin
Darkness cannot exist or live within
Let light shine out of darkness in our hearts
Where knowledge of His Glory light imparts
His Word is a lamp right unto our feet
A light unto our path none can defeat
Let your light shine bright before all others
Show your good works to sisters brothers
All praise to the Heavenly Father of all
That they may give glory both great and small
Then your light shall break forth like the dawn
Your healing shall spring up quickly bygone
Your righteousness shall go well before you
The Glory of God behind you accrue
Your eye is the lamp of your whole body
When the eye is healthy it shines broadly
But when it is not beware you will see
Darkness will envelope encompass thee
Come out of the darkness into the light
Proclaim the excellence of God outright
He who walks in darkness loses his way
But he who walks with God will not stray

Annie…you post some really amazing photos….and some very good music too !! Thank you !!
ed. THANK YOU ♥️ …. very very much..
the photographer said that the moon only aligned with that tree like that, once a year ..
he’s photographed it for a few years , and said he was very sad that a recent storm had finally taken it down ..
Why are there so many tracking attempts from the Treehouse? Is that CTH or some nefarious actor?
dj .. think about it .
my BRAVE browser reads “39” and counting…
Same on mine. Your post inspired me to check my Brave browser shields. “39” showing in the little black badge at the corner of the lion “shields” icon.
“Ad trackers & more” per my Brave browser.
But it doesn’t detail what makes up the “more.”
I seriously doubt that the CTH team is employing any nefarious tracking.
Whatever is there beyond the ad trackers might well be furtive govt spying trackers that may be planted via your ISP or somewhere in between.
This video seems rather timely as we head into hurricane season. What is presented is information, not entertainment.
The YouTuber took some of his equipment and volunteered in the immediate aftermath of the Sulphur tornado. The points brought up help with situational awareness. It was good to see that he included the message that the homeowners need to have the insurance adjusters inspect their damages before major cleanup and repairs begin. Take photos videos before making repairs that go beyond mitigation of further damage.
If you go to one of these events, take your chainsaw and the supplies needed to keep it running.
May God bless the volunteers who make our society work.
This has to be why I have always been repulsed from hard rock groups that use such costumes, stage backdrops / imagery, and scenes for their music videos. I’m definitely no saint but for whatever reason, I was never attracted to horror movies, movies about supernatural demonic creatures, or stories or music wrapped around “evil” as the theme.
Ariel on Twitter –
“The purpose behind the usage of Satanic imagery in live performances is to normalize and trivialize occult imagery and its implications. It is a way of promoting the agenda of the elites who wish to manipulate the masses and desensitize them to the occultist beliefs.
The elites use live performances and music videos to promote the message that ..”

i was channel surfing years ago when i kinda watched tv.. ( i’ve never been a tv person )
this only happened twice, and i do remember the exact number, because those 2 images that i saw, on the 2 separate occasions.. have never left my memory. and so i tell anyone , if a conversation comes up about movies that have ANY thing to do with that stuff … you need to be very careful about the images you let your eyes put into your memory..because they’re there forever.
and i also know the 2 movies that they were..
don’t even want to type the titles.
Oh yeah, I can identify. I never watch horror flicks or anything coming close to the occult. GIGO.
That leaves old Noir and old westerns but TV is not a thing for me anyway.
hey monti ♥️
Good evening Annie.
Busy, busy….barely have time to skim the threads much less comment
Hello Monti, Treading water? Busy here, too!
Too old for this nonsense, haha!
Subliminal messaging has been used on the American public since it was developed in the 1950s. It has been used for greedy commercial purposes (persuade us to buy certain products) and for political purposes too. But worst of all it has been deployed to affect our psychological state and relative inner peace.
Beware – it can just as easily be deployed within online streaming videos whether movies music or documentary/ instructional.
An early whistleblower on this covert assault on our minds was revealed by Vance Packard (1914-1996) in his 1957 book “The Hidden Persuaders“, and the book is still in print and sold via online book stores.
Coincidentally, in his 1964 book called “The Naked Society”, Packard criticized advertisers’ unfettered use of private information to create marketing schemes. So THAT unethical practice preceded the internet by several decades; the internet simply made their crimes far easier to pull off.
So true, Annie.
You cannot “unsee” those images.😩
Below is first stanza to a children’s song applicable to adults, too!
(Six more stanzas follow: ears, feet, hands, etc)
O be careful little eyes what you see
O be careful little eyes what you see
For the Father up above
Is looking down in love
So, be careful little eyes what you see
miss.della. 👋🏻 ♥️
yes! “unsee” … i think i could have “worded it better”, so i’m glad you understood what i was trying to convey, hahaha…
and i know that song, but had forgotten it ♥️
You said it perfectly, Annie, and thankful you brought it up.
We all need to be reminded!
🥰
p.s. that song just made me think of when i was a teacher for our church’s girls youth program.
(Assembly of God)
my class were the kindergartners ♥️ (Daisies)
girls program was Missionettes
boys were Royal Rangers ♥️
p.s.s. the classes were on wednesday nights, during regular church service..
i have pictures of my class at an awards ceremony, i’ll look for them..
Such precious memories, Annie!
I taught 4th and 5th graders in Sunday School (Baptist church) for years.
Also, Vacation Bible School, and AWANA on Wednesday nights.
These were some of best years of my life – teaching kids about the Lord.
Miss those times.
And, sometimes the kids taught me lessons, too! Haha,
I LOVE children and the elderly. Namely, the weaker ones in society.
Thank you, Annie, for transporting me back today!
🤗🥹
“Thank you, Annie, for transporting me back today! “
lol, you started it ! i recognized at the time, it was a privilege and a gift from God , allowing me to experience being with those little girls …
my mother had a calling to be an intercessory prayer warrior concerning abortion.
she would often visit the classroom and sit in a rocking chair and rock the occasional tired little one ……
and who was it that posted recently , about missing their mother and father ….. 💔
dunes?
Not sure, missed that…
I know Mothers Day is this weekend and it’s a “loaded” holiday for many.
Actually, I’ve never liked Mothers (Hallmark) Day.
People should love, respect and honor their mothers anyway.
Not because it’s an observance – so obligating…
That’s just my opinion, haha!
(And, no, I’m not a Scrooge…😂)
🥰
Bingo. Miss.Della!
I tell my kids all the time that it’s a made-up holiday, and that just calling and talking to me is enough – and not necessarily on “the appointed day.” Same for Father’s Day and Valentines Day.
That’s a sweet, sweet remembrance of your Godly mother, Annie.
I know her heart would overflow if she heard your words!
Sometimes I think about those girls and boys that were in my class.
They’re about 28-29 y/o and beyond now – and pray that the Seeds of faith planted and watered grew!
But that’s in God’s timing….
🙏🏻🥰
Me, too, Bari!
Believers in Christ should “flee” evil and not go there, even out of curiosity.
And, for unbelievers, it’s a dangerous snare.
Amen to that!
Today is V-E day.
Victory in Europe.

PROPHETIC WORD:
JGM – A SMOKING GUN THAT WILL DESTROY THE ESTABLISHMENT – [8 May 2024] [Heard May 7, 2024]
For I the Lord this day am telling you My children YOUR ENEMIES ARE LIKE RAVENOUS DOGS, on the hunt and on the prowl to take out anything and anyone standing in their way of what they want. They want this nation. They want the world. They want all the money to control. They want you enslaved and to obey their every command. They want you weak, sick, compliant and to believe everything they say. They want you under their mind control so you will not stand up and fight against them.
Yes they have gone after My David with everything they have, but that was just the beginning because they really were going after you and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal which they will never reach because I the Lord will see to that.
GREAT ADVERSITY is coming. A GREAT STORM is upon you but your enemies don’t see the PERFECT STORM barrelling towards them. Two worlds are colliding: Good VS Evil and evil never wins. So brace for this collision and brace for what is coming next that will solidify your victory saith the Lord of Hosts.
CAPITALISM is under siege and under great attack. This will be in your news for a significant reason. I told you My children want to change everything under their control.
BULLHORN…this name will be in your news for a surprising reason.
MANIFESTO…this word will be in your news for a significant reason.
A BATCH OF HIDDEN DOCUMENTS is about to be exposed – another smoking gun – that will destroy the establishment and their narrative along with their control.
BLACKMAIL…this word will be in your news.
REPEATEDLY showing you how your establishment was controlling this nation and their narrative. Many VIDEOS are about to surface that will blow the doors wide open on the lies that your enemies have tried to hide.
