For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Morning, Garrison and of course precious devoted Tink 💕 Oh how I love David Russell! I’ll save this one and listen with my usual ☕☕☕.
In the meantime as I am wide awake (tea in hand) and being as it’s CATURDAY and I’ve herded all my cats, I might as well turn them loose 🤗😸
Just rustling something up from the fridge

Obviously this is what is meant by the phrase “flying by the seat of your pants”!
“And whenever you don’t know who you are, you don’t know: ‘Am I the bad guy? Am I the good guy?’ You don’t know. Look at these pictures — and it immediately straightens everything out.”

May she rest in peace. What torment to her family. Those savages deserve no mercy.
Bad, evil people record and dispense these photos and videos to instill fear. I don’t gain fear. I gain ANGER.
evil needs to be identified, rooted out, hunted down, and extinguished… completely.
God, our Father in Heaven, make it so before more innocents are corrupted and lost forever to their families and friends.
To think her loved ones having to see her heaped in a truck like that, or led by the hair, or legs broken.
There would be no permission needed and no restraint given.
When the subhuman Biden and his embedded Islamist puppeteers withheld much needed support from Israel to bring righteous retribution to the barbarians at her gates, Netanyahu reportedly said…
“Very well. Alone.”
Hostages and innocents who endured the indescribable atrocities of October 7 and beyond and those who loved them whose lives will always be filled with hideous nightmares which will never end aren’t even a passing thought to those in this administration who pay scant to no lip service to the inhumanity.
But why would they, Woo?
They are monsters themselves, no different from those who carried out those atrocities of that terrible day.
Monstrous describes their works… they are demonists. We see them.
Cursed are they from generation to generation because of their ways. Let them always wonder when sorrow and every work of evil befalls them… if this be the curse of those who chose to hurt and mislead others.
It’s one hell of a future awaiting them. Operative word.. hell.
There is no forgiveness save that of God Himself Who can save these people especially those with two feet on either side of the fence in cowardice and double mindedness. God hates cowards.
Yes, Woo
They are Savages.
When you don’t negotiate, you eliminate! When you’re a Lefty, life is a bitch, then you die! Primo drone strike material here. IEDs work too! Doubt mom will miss them.

Sorry but kissing babies and petting dogs will never make up for his backstabbing of President Trump.
Little Ronnie DeSantis banished no matter what he says or does. That Guv don’t hunt.
👍
I’ll always remember how the local women’s caucus passed out their bedazzled ronnie badges while our government burns.
They couldn’t wiggle into their yoga pants, mama bear tshirts, and Louboutin pumps fast enough in homage to their Queen Hen, Casey.
They fall in line now behind, Trump? My a$$.
I saw Vivek Ramswampy on PBD podcast the other day and he kept dropping the phrase going back to our “First Principles”.
That is the name of the group in Central Indiana… well-heeled “republiCON” families who brought us RFK Jr, and Vivek, and other fake establishment scum to try to lead people away from Trump.
I wonder if Vivek got paid every time he dropped those key words?
We grow more than corn in Indiana, we grow dirty politicians.
I could only listen to half of what he said, I can’t stomach to hear him talk. Especially because after that interview, he high tailed it to the court house to “lend his support in his own personal capacity”… you mean for photo op or jockeying for a cabinet position, Vivek… you scoundrel who prophets on pharma alliances?
Vivek belongs NO WHERE near our government.
Beware the snakes who claim they’re “friends”. He’s only seeking the camera and to stay relevant.
I agree with your assessment of ramaswampy.
Too smooth by half.
Oh Slow… the wolves in sheep’s clothing are many. We all need to beware the ones who stretch for the limelight while actively grifting from the systemic depravity of our country. We need a good old fashioned house cleaning. Not appeasement.

Bullied too long
heartbreaking story, poor little guy
as if being relentlessly bullied wasn’t bad enough, the final straw was they beat him up on the school bus and broke his glasses
😹
I compare his story and the story of the other little boy in IPS to the Romans casting lots over Jesus’s clothing as He hung on the cross damaged and dying.
Covid showed us parents what was happening in our schools. The deviation. The manifesting of evil DEI, CRT, and demonic worship in the curriculum expressing our children to pornographic and violent imagery.
I’ve seen the ruin and more children than I care to know… who have fled the educational system often without degree. The runaways. In special education, you see the worst of these high risk youths.
There is no such thing as “child protection” anymore. There is drugging, suppressing, and breaking down into complete submission and government dependence. There is the purposeful removal of real teaching and the allowance and promotion of failure.
But they’ll squeal like pigs at a trough for referendum money… won’t they? In Indiana, they get over $9,000 a year per student to educate. In comparison, child support averages a little over $240/ month… to feed, support, and shelter a child.
I have no more sympathy. I have stone cold anger.
I have no words that I can post here.
And, as if this isn’t heartbreaking enough, now another little girl, Flora Martinez, 12 years old, committed suicide after being relentlessly bullied at her Las Vegas school. Her parents were denied after asking to change schools in her district. 😢
Oh, sis….
It is to be hoped that those who denied their request never have another peaceful night’s sleep. That’s the least that should be their punishment. Those who failed to do anything about it? Same.
And those who drove her to suicide? May this terrible thing awaken their souls and consciences.
Bless her soul now resting in the arms of her Saviour 🙏🏻💔
Bets,
I had to change my daughter’s high school during very dicey times with her. Took three school board meetings to accomplish. Unfortunately, she sought the lowlife culture in that school too, but your kids are always worth the try. It’s been a long haul but she’s been on a really good track for several years now, and we are grateful. 🙏
If not you, girl, then who??????
I can empathize. What we went through with our son. He came out the other side, all praise to God and his guardian angels of which he must have been assigned extras. I’m so happy to hear it 💕
So glad our Father saw fit to assign overtime to your beloved son. ❤️
Nim, my husband drove school buses in the UK, as well as managing the firm. Do you think he would have sat there and watched it happen????
Once the kids he was carrying were opening Tue emergency door. He stopped the bus, gave them what for, then got in touch with the school and told them he would no longer carry the little horrors.
How long did it take for those brats to learn their lesson from their parents who would have had to travel miles each day to and from school?
About 5.
I dread to think what he would have done to the bullies who were so cruel in Sammy’s case.
Eternal shame and nightmares for this driver who apparently did nothing.
Central Indiana parents hearts are breaking over the story of this poor boy.
There’s another out of Indianapolis Public Schools of a teacher egging kids on to hurt and torment another small child. He was dismissed and the public demanded the ousting of the Principal.
But it’s not enough. The cancer inside the Department of Education is systemic and we, ourselves, are dealing with it… yet again.
The constant reintroduction of a violent threat, appeasement to the violator, and the establishment of theater to deliberately put the known risk in close proximity of each other. The perpetrator is using school computer and school email addresses to continue to taunt, manipulate, slander, and control.
I was so “happy” she did that, because I NOW have communicated with her directly in front of those administrative evildoers and issued a Cease and Desist letter that will be followed up by restraining order to go in her adult name on public court records. Violation of such then goes in her adult criminal record. This is the girl whose mother watched porn with the son, mother had to be prevented from stabbing herself in front of the children, mother used the police against the daughter, the daughter brought xacto knife to school… threatened a girl who avoided her sexual advances (that girl fled her home, quit school before graduation… now is somewhere unknown in Florida), this girl tried to manipulate my daughter to beat up another under threat of her own bodily injury… because she couldn’t violate her parole as a minor. (Yet, how would she beat up my daughter, if she couldn’t beat up the other one?) Now she makes false allegations, slander, reports… but none is being reported to me as a parent.
Alas, upon involvement (again) in that… it brought up more and more unhealthy dirt and now our world is, again, afflicted.
The entire Department of Education and related unions need to be burned down to the ground.
Our children are political fodder for control and are meaningless to them, except to dull them to the point of extreme dependence and futility. They are being taught NOTHING of academic value or critical thinking skills. Nothing.
This is all a THEATER and our kids are their clowns.
I can’t get this out of my mind, Feisty. I have shed countless tears for this precious child just thinking how minute by minute, day by day, his life was made so miserable that killing himself seemed to be the only option. Even now I am weeping.
Where on earth were the adults who should have protected him??
Schools today make a great noise about being in loco parentis. They use this claim as a cudgel to deny parents access to what happens in school. We all know this. Do teachers not have eyes to see or hearts to feel??? For YEARS this went on!! Did he tell his parents? Do we know? How many other children are enduring the same torture??
Where are the parents of the bullies and thoughtless others who joined in his torture??
What in God’s name is the matter with people??!?
Poor little boy…poor bless-ed little boy…
He is resting now with the same God who made him. If there can be any comfort for his mother and father, please, dear.Lord, let it be that 🙏🏻
I can’t stop crying…
He did tell his parents. The parents in both scenarios were in contact with the schools with their concerns.
It is nothing short of criminal.
Morning Woo
Good to see you, Friend.
Just a quick drop in for now. I had similar problems with my children in school – they were both small for their age. I tried going through the “proper channels” with very poor results.
At the height of the problem a little thug actually tried to shove my daughter into oncoming traffic!
So, I took matters literally into my own hands. Unfortunately, I can’t elaborate any further as it was way outside proper channels. But…… no more bullying.
Parents – Do Whatever it takes to protect your children.
Amen!
You and my Chris are cut from the same cloth. How long does anyone wonder it would be before either one of us would be taking steps to stop this type of abuse? Steps which complicit authorities would have no option but to address immediately.The welfare of my child would be the only imperative. You wouldn’t leave a son or daughter sitting in the middle of a freeway, just waiting for that moment when it is too late.
Omerta, Corny.
👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
Betsy
What is more precious and in more need of your protection than your babies? It’s your job!
I’d love to tell you “the rest of the story” – but some, maybe many, would object. Maybe someday over tea and g&t’s you and I would laugh!
We’d need pots of the stuff I’m sure…fine with me 😊🤗
Oh Corny,
I am so sorry to hear it. Seems abuse such as this has always been with us, but now it’s “sanctioned”!!!!
I believe the unions are recruiting their “thugs”. What other excuse could be made?
I have never thought for one moment that I did the wrong or immoral thing. And….who knows, maybe the little thug learned something along the way!
Corny,
I’m certain I would have been in a posse with you. Gladly my friend. ❤️
Which is how it should be treated, Woo.
When I first read “bullied too long…over 100 bikers turn out”, in the nanosecond before my eyes read the rest of headline,
I thought WOW, the bikers are going to school with him to protect him.
so very, very sad.
Slowcobra, I’ve seen dozens of instances where these big hearted men (some perhaps bullied mercilessly in their youth?) have gathered together to protect a child who has had to endure what Sammy did.
I am willing to bet there isn’t a man among them who hasn’t said to himself, “If only we’d known in time…”
And shed a tear for not.
There is a parent and former teacher (33 yrs) here in Central Indiana, named Paige Miller. She has been an aggressive advocate for school reform for years now workign with a group called Purple for Parents, who warned heavily about the garbage curriculum being pushed. Heavy warning to pull children out of public schools “Get them out NOW!”
I know this. I’ve attended some of the meetings and I’ve witnessed a few of Paige’s speeches. She’s the real deal. She is now one of the heads for Moms for Liberty in Hamilton County. There is an underground push to have her appointed the head of the Indiana Board of Education.
Going to take what I know… and what is continuing to happen to us going on three years now… and going to push hard for her appointment. She would set our Indiana world on fire and really aggressively protect our kids.
We need a REFORMATION.
Our kids are getting hurt. They are actively and aggressively breaking up families. They are sowing seeds of distrust in the community and pitting faction against faction. That is the Department of Education doing this. I don’t care if there are some “good ones” – they are completely invisible. We need AGGRESSIVE and UNSHAKEABLE spines of steel to stand and firmly take back over our schools again. No, parents shouldn’t have to pull their children from public education – public education belongs to ALL of us.
They are actively ruining targeted students’ lives and collegiate potentials making sure they are suppressed, failed, and unaided.
They push smut books with, yet another foisted on Savannah – with “F” this “F” that, how “hot her bossom looked” how “he couldn’t get enough of her body” how she was “angry because her boyfriend wouldn’t follow through on her sexual advances”. Savannah went to her teacher, pointed out all of this, aggressively protested as the other students were also upset by the “selection” and the female (allegedly christian – little “c”) and the male teacher’s aide said, “Oh that shouldn’t bother you. That’s just the way they communicate.” So, my question “teachers” – is that just how a pedophile communicates and loves his prey???
I’m HOT. I look at every one of these failures as a failure to my own kid. My own daughter. How much further along could she have beeen had she received the instruction of a real and legitimate educational organization. The IN Department of Education, and I gather most DOE’s of various states, use our children as political pawns and control features.
I cannot suppress my anger. I am not sure how things are going to turn out for us, but I trust fully in our God Who Saves. Our God Who is so interested in even the smallest of our grievances.
Like Betsy, I pray for sleepless nights for these criminals. No rest. No solitude. No comfort.
I wonder where we will be in 10 years, 20, 30. How history will view our participation with, or railing against, the machine eating our children and families.
I think those bikers shouldn’t just join the funeral procession. I think they need to attend a few legislative sessions on education policy. School boards rarely matter. The school boards just evict the public and move on in their march towards annihilation.
Public “opinion” doesn’t matter – only public action. These children need to be the faces that launch a thousand ships.

They have a few interesting videos they’ve added to the Rumble platform. They haven’t been meeting lately in Central Indiana proper. Just smaller cities with two events planned in Evansville and Shipshewana. Not a large following on Rumble – just 20 subscribers – but they focus heavily on us in Indiana locally and if you can find a chapter in you’re own neck of the woods, they have their finger on the pulse of the abuse in education.
These people have been fighting against the sexual liberation that was begun here at IU Bloomington campus, the Alfred Kinsey Institute who “revolutionized” the testing of pedophiles on INFANTS and children to push forth the sexual revolution agenda which was a huge influence on Hugh Hefner with Playboy. You can source all of your LGBxyz, oversexualization from youth – to this very source.

RIP you beautiful tortured soul. “Your work on earth is done. Go to Heaven and shout love for The Father and The Son.”
My favorite song of his:
Yeah… and the two Boeing squealers were ruled suicides one with the gun in his hand, finger in the trigger… having shot himself in the head. The recoil would have bounced that gun right out of his hands. Staged, in his truck… during his depositions. His attorney knows.

Shot twice in the back of the head. Fort Marcy Park, anyone?

Kazimierz Fajans
(1887-1975)
Polish-American physical chemist (Fajans’ rules), dies at 84
Biography: Kazimierz Fajans was a Polish-American physical chemist who made substantial contributions to the field of radiochemistry. A prominent part of his research work was carried out in collaboration with British scientist Frederick Soddy, focusing on understanding the behavior and properties of radioactive substances.
In 1913, Fajans and Soddy independently developed what is now known as the radioactive displacement law, also known as Fajans’ rules. These rules described the predictable way in which atoms transform during the process of radioactive decay. The rules were a significant step forward in the understanding of atomic structure, highlighting how during radioactive decay, atoms can move along the periodic table in a predictable way.
Fajans is also known for his pioneering work in chemical kinetics and the study of the electronic structure of crystals. His work was instrumental in shaping the modern understanding of radioactivity and its role in chemistry and physics.

CAREFUL UNREASONABLENESS
“Behold the fowls of the air.” …”Consider the lilies of the field.” Matt. vi. 26,28
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, and simply ARE! Think of the sea, the air, the sun, the stars and the moon – all these ARE, and what a ministration they exert. So often we mar God’s designed influence through us by our self-conscious effort to be consistent and useful. Jesus says that there is only one way to develop spiritually, and that is by concentration on God. “Do not bother about being of use to others; believe on Me” – pay attention to the Source, and out of you will flow rivers of living water. We cannot get at the springs of our natural life by common sense, and Jesus is teaching that growth in spiritual life does not depend on our watching it, but on concentration on our Father in heaven. Our heavenly Father knows the circumstances we are in, and if we keep concentrated on Him we will grow spiritually as the lilies.
The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould us.
If you want to be of use to God, get rightly related to Jesus Christ and He will make you of use unconsciously every minute you live.

Let us not be desirous of vain glory. Gal. 5:26
Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.) And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.

And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. – John 17:5
In 1655, the English mathematician John Wallis invented a symbol to indicate an unlimited, endless, boundless unit: the symbol for infinity. Some may describe it as the numeral 8 on its side. Although Wallis did not explain his choice of the symbol, some say he saw it as a ribbon stitched end to end and twisted across itself to where its joint cannot be seen.
In today’s verse, Jesus declares His infinite preexistence. Hebrews 1:2 states it was through Christ that the worlds were created. By His incarnation, Philippians 2:8 says He “humbled himself”—literally from the Greek, He “emptied Himself.” For 33 years, He laid aside all of the honor, glory, and splendor of Heaven, to assume the form of a servant. In today’s portion of His High Priestly Prayer, He prays that He would be restored to the dignity, honor, and glory He had before He came to Earth.
Knowing what the coming hours would bring to Him, He also foresaw the status to which He is now exalted (1 Peter 3:22). His eternality is consistent with His deity.
Professor, theologian, and author, Renald Showers wrote, “As an eternal divine being, He had always existed without beginning and end throughout eternity past.” Distinguished professor and author Daniel Segraves wrote, “The prayers of Jesus are genuine and… they reflect the fact that Jesus was not only God but also man.
It was not because He was God that Jesus needed to pray; it was because He was also human.” His deity, His preexistence, His incarnation, death, and resurrection contain mysteries outside the scope of human understanding.
They must be accepted in faith.
Give the Lord praise today for all that He is to you, and for all He has done to secure your place with Him in the future infinity.

Happy Saturday morning to my 🌳🏠 friends! 🤗
Inspired by Mr. Jay…😊
Chopin’s Raindrops Prelude (official cover by 2WEI – 2:37 mins) Enjoy!
Thrilling juststevie, the cobalt blue dragon fly.
One landed on my hand, age 55. Had never seen one. Thought it was a mirage of the light. Maybe eyesight aging a bit more than thought? In God’s good humor, it came back and landed on my other hand.
No mirage.
I love dragonflies! They eat mosquitoes LOL! But it’s their delicate wingspan and beautiful colors that catch my attention. I just wish we had more of them here in OK but will see one occasionally and I stop to pay attention. I have a stitching pattern of a dragonfly that I’m getting ready to start…excited! 😁
Dragonflies need to show up in groves here in Texas. Mosquitos carry you off when you walk outside.
That chocolate pie looks delicious. I made a simple frozen key lime pie last weekend that was really good.
I hear ya! Here too! When I was little, growing up in New Orleans, the dragonflies were so prolific they would land anywhere on you. But according to the attached video, it seems to be a climate thing and well, I’m just happy I get one every once in a while!
The difference between a dragon fly and a damsel fly? At rest, dragonflies have horizontal wings and damselflies hold the vertically! As a nymph, both are voracious insect eaters!
I didn’t know that! Thanks Pa!!! 👍🤗
Beautiful
-thanks, juststevie
Good morning Patience! 💝
Your kitty posts have made my day…so thank you for that! 😻
Stitching????? 🙀
💞Am so very excited… happy for you, Stevie.
Oh, stevie
Scrumptious- both of them!
Right? Lol
Good morning lady! 💝
I’ve always loved this song.. both musically and for it’s message
Here is a song that demonstrates why I like Shawn Mullins so much… he isn’t just a singer and a songwriter, but he is a true storyteller.
Happy “cartoons and cereal day” everyone.
for levi, and all other silent tree-branchers who are in our thoughts and prayers.
peace to all who gather here, and thank you Jesus for our joy in being together.
Things are not always….

I love this American Patriot! Going Viral! There is an American movement called Operation Red Dawn which consists of the older Generation that are ready to fight! They want to root out corrupted politicians who are stealing American taxpayers hard earned money to support wars, etc… https://x.com/TheThe1776/status/1791119359408255047
We know all of the debate “questions” will shame Trump and glorify the Democrats. It’s all targeted at the Independent vote which will determine which candidate wins the election. Trump better not try to wing it with his usual meaningless bombast in lieu of any real preparation. He lost independents last time no matter what ‘The Committeds” think.

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
FEAST ON WISDOM
Happy are those who Feast on Wisdom;
Who savor her knowledge of His Kingdom;
She will refresh and nourish them wisely;
Her assistance is welcome – quite precisely!
Heavenly bread – her drink – understanding;
So succor her knowledge notwithstanding;
Her nourishment is constant and truthful;
Not for the blind of faith – or for the youthful!
Refreshment is – the fruit of the Spirit;
Through the lens of faith – we can intuit;
What can one do with only knowledge alone?
With no understanding – knowledge is prone!
The sweetness of Wisdom is God’s Great Gift;
Knowledge plus understanding – a lofty lift;
From the abyss of deception we will arise;
The richness of Wisdom is for only the wise!
His Word alone – not the fruit of the earth;
Sustains His faithful ones – from their rebirth;
The bread of Wisdom is insight – not mirth;
Her drink is understanding – knowledge worth!
Refreshed by His Word – and nourished divine;
His faithful ones repent – sin – they decline;
His Spirit indwells – in the temple of man;
Where wisdom is instilled – according to plan!
Your steadfastness, Lord, assures that within;
Both knowledge and understanding defeat sin;
When the two are united – wisdom be told;
A magnificent miracle – inside to behold!
For what is a man who is wise beyond years;
If he hears not – listens not – to what he hears;
If he has knowledge without understanding;
His foundation is shaky – so is his landing!
The Gift of the Spirit is Wisdom – and Grace;
The mind becomes avid – with Faith in place
The body is sound – the spirit is free;
So Feast on Wisdom – sweet delicacy!
Proportioned and balanced as God created;
With knowledge and understanding related;
Combined with His Word in perfect harmony;
Let’s Feast on Wisdom – His Word brilliantly!

When I was a child, my ginger kitty, Chester, allowed my pet mice (Amos & Andy) to run around and over him, and my parakeet, Cosmo, to fly around unmolested. Little did I know how unusual it was. Sweet!
