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 †

Ha. The real answer to America’s problem; the Gospel and revival!
Very soothing… thanks for posting this one, Garrison
You are welcome, benzy. 🙂
Howdy Garrison!

Beautiful. Ukraine no less.
Yep. Really good playing. 🙂
An Imperishable Inheritance
Believers have a glorious inheritance reserved
and protected for us in heaven.
Every day we live on this earth, we have an opportunity
to build up that inheritance by investing in the things God values.
“Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:20).
Good morning all. Walking better! Don’t have to think about it to not drag my right heal, but still weak. PT and OT does not start until after I see my family practitioner on the 17th. At this rate I will be half way recovered using my own means before it starts.
Am eating well. Got my appetite back the day I left the hospital.
Have not fallen once. I can hook the dogs up on their leads.
My neighbor Steve told me “don’t you dare call anyone to mow your lawn.” He’s got my back, just as I had his.
It sure is frustrating looking at all I need to get done and not being able to do a damned thing.
After 8 months the city electric department engineer came out and we settled on how the 200 amp underground service will be fed into the house. I have to move my meter base because the code says they need an area 5′ x 4′ clear around the meter as a “flash zone” where a person working on it can get away if there is a short. Apparently a recent addition to the code.
So at least I got that done!
Hope you all are doing OK.
Good morning Rah. It’s great to learn you’re making recovery progress on your own. I’m sure the PT and OT will be the icing on the cake. I’m sure your medic training has been useful to you also.
We’ve been getting rain from Francine all day here in Mississippi with relatively light winds. Thankfully, no lightning or thunder. The cool down to 65 is a blessing.
Have a blessed Friday and behave yourself. 😊
Thank you.
BTW Francine WAS NOT a Catagory 2 hurricane when it came ashore. I don’t give a damn what the NHC says because they do not have the data to justify their claim it was a CAT II at landfall.
All wind station data if available online and so I am not guessing. I’m using their own objective measurements and their own published criteria to make this statement.
Not a single certified land station recorded the minimum of 96 mph wind sustained for 1 minute at 10m meters above sea/land level as required by NOAA’s own criteria to be graded CAT II as per the Saffir-Simpson scale.
It appears they have been inflating values based on calculations from radar and hurricane hunter data as a matter of SOP these days.
I know, more gaslighting.
The thing didn’t even have an eyewall and the pressure of 972 mb, which may or may not sustain cat 2 winds, was recorded well offshore and was rising at landfall.
Climate change…
Glad your spirit is well.
Trust God. Fear not.
Good news on your recovery progress!
I hope you recover fully, with no remaining side effects!
That’s good news that you are improving (even if not as rapidly as you would like it to be). Remember, take it one step at a time (literally and figuratively). Having a ‘jump start” on physical therapy is a good thing… just don’t push too hard and create a new problem.
Rah, you are so industrious — even during recovery!
If you aren’t actually doin’ then you are strategizing the doin’!
Blessings to you, and prayers for a quick recovery!
P.S. Don’t do too much to soon!
🙏💗
Happy to hear your recovery coming along 👏👍… I’m still coming back from fall back in March 🤣..but working on it little by little..I guess the older we get the longer it takes 😂..I broke left wrist and had compression fracture in upper spine which produced back spasms.. but I keep moving foward 💪👍..
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Oh mr jim!!
I knew you had an injury, but didn’t know broken bones. 🙁
glad to hear you are moving forward!
Drive on! What doesn’t kill you often makes you stronger.
Good Morning Rah – and all Open Thread Treepers
What happened to you?
I have not been able to follow The News here because all of this year has been taken up with Hospice Care for my beloved Doc – with me as caregiver. As of the first of September he is singing with the Angels
PS – fun reminder of Everly Bros music (gulp)
ms Idaho
Toughest job in the world, but also most rewarding. I’m sure as you recover yourself, you’ll be most grateful for the tender intimate moments you shared.
Get rest! 💐
Soazburrolady – sounds like you have been down the same road. Spot on re: precious moments we shared. I met and fell in love again – with a man i never knew. … adventures from long before we met. And I cannot say enough good words for the hospice folks – they worked hard to make the ‘process’ as meaningful as it could possibly be.
Thank you for your kind words
So sorry to hear this, ms Idaho.
It doesn’t much matter whether one is knowing what is soon coming or not.
At least I’ve found there is no being ready to let go…
Praying for your peace and comfort and healing in this time you are adjusting, and learning to live life in a different way than you have for so many years now.
The reality of their absence takes a while to fully settle throughout your being, it seems.
Thank you WanTheTruth. Understand your point completely. During the months I envied those who didn’t know it was coming. But now that it is over I treasure every moment.
Funny, I don’t think it will take time to adjust. Streisand sings a song ‘Memories’. Every new day that God gives us to live is filled with memories. What we did in our youth, trips we have taken, family and friends who are no longer with us – in life or just moved on … well, you know what I mean.
Doc is with me as much today as he was when he was off working or fishing or doing things without me. Hope that makes sense?
I treasure your prayers – thank you
Yes, I can understand that.
I’ve lost quite a few loved ones in my life – of course, I’ll find them again when I join them!
I think my experiences had more of a long-lasting affect on me, because I lost my Mom when I was 8, my Dad when I was 16, and my younger brother when I was 20.
I’ve only come to the almost full processing and understanding of what all that entailed and meant to my life and growing and mental maturation years.
I might have a couple issues to completely work out, but the last few years have brought me to the most complete peace in myself and life.
I’ve had more losses in the many years between then and now, but the first three losses were lasting ones, as I’ve always mourned the time I never got to spend with them.
Even though I believe I’ll see them at a later time it was hard growing up missing that.
But God is great, and He’s brought me closer to Him than I’ve ever been – and life is good.
I’m glad you’re at peace with your life now, and take comfort in your many memories.
And I can understand how those losses left you bereft.
Somehow that pain never eases up
Do mental hugs from a stranger help?
Hugs
Yes, ms Idaho,
The hospice folks were indescribably necessary. I quit working to take care of Dad. My husband and I were both in health care and wanted to be there for a man we respected, loved, and hoped to emulate. That last few hours were excruciating, but, even then I was blessed with his teaching. 😢
There you are, ms idaho!
-was wondering where you went.
-What a journey….
Please accept my sympathy, empathy and condolences.
May the many joys and blessings you two shared bring comfort and many smiles.
-Doc is free 🪽
Thank you Patience
In his youth Doc sang in a number of church choirs – and was singing to me 🙂 during his ‘journey.
Besides singing with the Angels, I know he is welcomed by relatives and friends who went before and paved the way – not to mention the dogs who are joyously bounding around him.
We mere mortals just keep plodding relentlessly onward – humbled by the experience
ms Idaho,
I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of your Doc. Sounds as though you had some wonderful moments during his time prior to transitioning into Eternity. Such a blessing we have in the promise of Jesus and our perfect life, wholly restored and healed with Him. I like to think they all wait for us up there and are ready to greet us for our Homecoming.
Blessings to you
I had a “minor” stroke affecting my right arm/hand and leg/foot.
oh oh oh oh – I am so sorry. You are one of the most active souls I ‘know’, and can only imagine how much a crimp this puts in the life you love to live.
I have a close computer friend – he helped me set up and run my web store, Nutrition Pure and Simple starting in about 2009 – who also had a stroke near the beginning of this year.
I never could evaluate the impact of a stroke vs my loss of vision thru both wet and dry macular – both deliver a belly punch to life.
. a
I can only imagine the grit and determination for your upcoming journey ‘back’.. make it as fast as possible 🙂
Hey there, Rah,
This is the first I am hearing of this, also. My brother, I am so sorry. Should you or Sherry need anything, I am not far away. Three-1-7-four-2-seven-three-seven-7-8.
Don’t hesitate – we can be useful! Praying for your swift recovery. I know you’ll be up and at it again in no time!
🙏♥️
Will be praying for your total and rapid recovery. Always look forward to reading about your various activities
And what a joy to see Ms Idaho back here. Appreciate you all.
That reminds me of one of Doc’s sayings…
‘minor’ surgery is that performed on someone else
same with ‘mino’ stroke methinks
hugs
Oh ms Idaho, I’m glad to see you here. My condolences to you at the passing of your beloved Doc into the arms of Jesus.
rah,
Hallelujah for your very quick recovery! Lots of folks here pulling for you as you know. 💐

My American friends, you would be so proud of me – I told the 26yo girl at work about America!
All about the second amendment and what it actually means.
And what your national anthem is about. She was really struck by this.
And independence from Britain and how do you take your tea – in the harbour.
I said it with my love of freedom
❤️❤️❤️
Our original conversation began with communism and covid oppression.
(You can vote your way into communism but you have to shoot your way out)
Last night I had a conversation with a bloke originally from the USSR. I couldn’t believe that someone with that history was suggesting that we didn’t lose our freedoms in covid times, because you have to look at the circumstances. It has totally blown my mind. I think I will remember this for the rest of my life!!
My family came to Australia after leaving communism – and that was both sides of my family, from different countries. So this is why I find this man so shocking. He is the opposite of my family. We place an incredibly high value on freedom.
Beloved Rach,
Thank you for sticking up for America and its founding.
We don’t resort to violence except defensively. (There are “just wars”)…see A Christian Manifesto by Francis Schaefer. Or read the tiny book by a friend of Calvin, Pierre Viret….The Christian and the Magistrate.
The American colonists used magisterial interposition…using lower magistrates who had the courage to stand before “The People” and higher magistrates because they wanted to uphold English Common Law to voice/stipulate grievances.
Yeah. Read Vivet. He founded the Lausanne and Geneva academies.
😊✝️😊
We will all do well if we get to know our lower magistrates. Especially Sheriffs. 🕶️
And oh.
Maybe someone should write a song about how so many baby killers get their panties in a wad because their purposely imported invaders are munching on geese, cats, dogs. 👊✝️👊
I will always be impressed by the freedoms signed into the constitution by your founding fathers.
I also educated my other workplace about the second amendment this past week.
No one anywhere I go ever seems to know the actual reason is to go against a tyrannical government. Or that having a gun is considered a right and that the law says the government cannot infringe upon that right.
Everyone always stops silent when I begin with “it’s not about self defence or hunting…”. Most people simply have no idea, and I don’t know how they can have any opinion without such basic facts.
——-
As for your hungry immigrants, I hope that will be fixed when Trump wins, and he works to deport.
Trump certainly has an enormous task ahead of him. But I have faith in his success.
Rach, God has His hand on PDJT – or he wouldn’t even be on this earth yet!
God is doing a great work through PDJT! And PDJT would succeed at nothing – without His help.
Watch and see what happens in our ‘One Nation Under God’!
Only God could (and will!) bring the course – not only ‘correction’ – but total reset, of our country.
To God be the Glory!
I totally agree that God has a hand in this.
It feels like we are in Biblical times right now.
The 1916 Project
https://podcast.jackhibbs.com/the-1916-project/
Frank, was wondering if you would be interested in this… You can look up The 1916 Project online, if you’d like to know what it’s about w/o watching the Pastor Jack Hibbs podcast.
The podcast link above, has a YouTube link & also a radio link. It’s very interesting with an interview with the two men who worked on this, and it’s information that’s been hidden for a long time. Still available but tough to seek out.
It regards eugenics and abortion and is quite shocking if you think you are up on the origins of where that started and came out of. Some you’ll know and some I can almost guarantee you’ve never heard.
Churches can go to website and arrange a free-showing at their church now. They will release it for streaming, but I’m not sure if that’s available yet now, or not. Of course if the church is a 501(c)(3) church, they’d likely not be too hep or allowed to do so.

Beautifully stated: short, sweet, on point, and best of all, True!!!
Thanks ❤️
I intentionally went into “town” today to visit a store where I have a deep friendship with a person whose name I don’t even know. He’s about my age and works at a drive through adult beverage distributor.
He told me he felt SICK after watching the “debate.” He was visibly shaken, while telling me that his two nephews working behind him were in Butler when the shots rang out. Thankfully, our conversation went on for some time as no one pulled up behind me.
I don’t what I said to him to calm his spirit. I think I said you are going to have to pray, or something like that. He said “THANK YOU you just calmed me down. ”
Nothing remotely similar to the music posted already but here goes:
Bon Jovi – Living on A Prayer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDK9QqIzhw
Another try:
Yup. Well done. If we think we’re voting ourselves out of this post Christian stank…we need to wake up.
I’m praying for Reformation 2.0 and Great Awakening 3.0.
🫵✝️🫵
And Revival! I pray the Holy Spirit will soften hearts towards the Lord, so all will turn from their evil ways and repent and turn to the Lord.
Yes! Amen!
Amen!
Yes, we all need to pray! Our God is an Awesome God!

Israel Update:
This is a different kind of report as I will cover only one important subject. A confidential operation that took place yesterday and was not published by the IDF and the second part will be an explanation of the Unit that most likely performed the operation. I have to say that we don’t know for sure which unit did the operation but this kind of operation is only the job and specialty of this unit.
The Unit is called Sayeret Matkal (translated to : General Staff Reconnaissance Unit) or simply “The Unit”.
While it’s hard to have precision report on something like this, I did collect the most credible information from foreign and local sources:
-A highly confidential daring and possibly historic Special Forces Operation took place in Syria around Hama city that is about 200 miles from Israel. This was not reported in Israel, it was reported by foreign outlets related to the Syrian Opposition. Israeli media is relating to it as “foreign sources reports” and give additional information as to what was attacked.
In Syria there is a project that is called “Institute 4000”. It is a number of centers that research and manufacture precision missiles and means to make missiles precise.
Also they manufacture Ballistic missiles and drones. This over the years was taken over by Iran and is a joint operation of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard (The Iranian branch that operates outside of Iran) and Syria.
There are experts from Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and even North Korea working there.
Iran used it in order to be closer to Lebanon and so to be able to transport technologies and missiles and drones to Hezbollah in Lebanon with less chances of Israeli
interference/attacks.
Israel attacked from the air some of the facilities but never managed to put an end to this project. This is related to Hezbollah having precision missiles that cat hit strategic targets in Israel. The one that was now attacked by Special Forces is considered as the “heart of the project” and was an underground facility.
The operation had a few stages:
1. bombardment of the area and the transportation routs to the area.
2. Special Forces came down by ropes from helicopters.
3. At this time attack helicopters secured the area in which the Special Forces worked.
4. The Special Force entered the facilities and killed and injured a few who opposed (possibly also captured one or two but this is not certain).
5. Special Forces took equipment and documents.
6. They planted bombs in the facilities and demolished it.
7. The Forces returned to Israel (no known Israeli casualties).
By the nature of this operation I can conclude that the force involved is Sayeret Matkal.
Sayeren Matkal is the premier Special Force of the IDF and they are specializing in deep operations in enemy territory and recovering vital Intel and assassinating or kidnapping main enemies. This is as high risk operation which tells me that the rewards were worth it to be able to approve the operation.
–About Sayeret Matkal:
I will explain and at the end will add a little personal story of my experience with them.
The Unit is Highly confidential. Almost all the You Tube Videos about it are not actually them. There are maybe a couple of minutes of actual footage and is completely obscure or very old. This Elite Unit is also called :”The Unit”. It is similar to the American Delta Force and the British SAS. It has the same motto as the British SAS: “Who dares wins”.
Its warriors are dressed like Paratroopers and do the Paratrooper’s’ basic training at the beginning. While they do have a symbol they are not dressed with it so you can’t identify them. They work very close with the Mossad and are very good at dressing like enemy forces or enemy civilians. Very few of their operations are published mainly those which had a mess up or those that were very significant.
Sayeret Matkal is designed to collect Intel inside enemy territory, to assassinate enemies of Israel outside of Israel, to kidnap important enemies and to perform hostage rescue operations outside of Israel.
Sayeret Matkal “produced” some of the leaders of Israel like
Netanyahu (was and Officer and his brother killed in duty as a high commander of this Unit),
Ehud Barak (Prior Prime Minister was a high commander in this Unit), Shaul Mofaz (Ex-Defense Minister came form Sayeret Matkal), Naftali Benett (previous previous Prime Minister of Israel from a few years ago was an Officer of Matkal), Yair Yaalon (Former Defense Minister) and more…
Some known operations :
The hostage rescue called Operation Entebbe, the legendary hostage rescue from Entebbe Uganda where they landed and arrived in vehicles that imitated the vehicle of the leader of Uganda and his protection vehicles and rescued 102 hostages. In this operation Yoni Netanyahu the brother of Bibi was killed.
Operation Outside the Box: 2004, before Israel attacked from the air the Syrian Nuclear reactor that was a Syrian North Korean project, Matkal went deep into Syria and brought soil samples from near the reactor to confirm that its not yet operations so there won’t be a disaster when its attacked. Following this operation the reactor was attacked from the air.
The Syrian boss of this project was shortly later shot at the head by a sniper, from the sea, at his vacation apartment by the beach in Syria.
Operation Spring of Youth: April 1973, There were a few targets. Matkal took the target of eliminating the Deputy of Yassar Arafat the PLO (terror organization) and two other leaders of this organization. The Deputy was Muhammad Abu Youssef who was a mastermind of the Munich Olympics Massacre and was on the Mossad’s hit list. The people who were assassinated lived in two seven stories buildings.
In different locations. The Matkal team which included future Prime Minsiter (Ehud Barak) and Netanyahu’s Brother Yoni, arrived from the sea, Mossad waited for them with vehicles and took them to the area, they approached as a few couples “going to a party”, half dressed as women with skirts and wigs. They managed to approach, kill guards, expose the doors, kill the three leaders simultaneously and get back to sea. Intel came from Mossad and the work was done by Matkal.
Operation Presentation of Purpose (right translation): 1988. Abu Jihad was the Deputy of Yasser Arafat Leader of PLO. He had a long series of Israelis murdered in terror attacks in and out of Israel, mainly civilians.
Mossad tracked him and provided all the Intel. The operation involves Mossad, Matkal and Shaytet 13 (Seals). Also the Navy and Air Force. It took place in Tunisia, some 2,000 miles away from Israel. The forces arrived to the Tunisia area in a few small missile ships and a submarine. Mossad agents rented two minibuses and a car. The Seals arrived to the shore in small diving vehicles and secured the shore. A large Boing airplane used electronic means to shut off the Tunisian radars, and another boing was there to fuel the airplanes that were flying over and securing the perimeter of the operation. The Mossad hacked the local phone network to prevent any communications that would alert Abu Jihad. Five rubber boats loaded with some 20 Matkal Warriors landed in Tunisia. Two teams to perform the mission and two teams to secure the operators. At this point it was discovered that Abu Jihad left home for e meeting. The teams had to wait for hours. Then Abu Jihad arrived with two body guards. One stayed in a car and one accompanied him. The teams waited another hour until the green light. First two people approached the guard in the car, one warrior dressed as a woman with a chocolate box in one hand. They killed the guard. The other team breached his fortified door and a team went down to basement and killed the guard and another team got to his bedroom, he pulled a pistol but an officer shot a full magazine into his body (according to his wife who was spared along with his daughter and a baby) ) and other team members confirmed the kill with more shots. She identified the future Defense Minster of Israel Yaalon there. The UN condemned the operation. Israel kept quiet about this operation for decades and only in 2012 Israel admitted it. Two warriors were decorated for bravery after the operation.
Operation Crate 3: June 1972. Matkal ambushed a Syrian vehicle in Lebanon and kidnapped five Senior Syrian Officers in an attempt to use them to exchange with three Israeli hostages, two pilots and a navigator. The Officers were exchanged for the release of the Israelis a year later along with 41 additional Syrian War prisoners.
As you see there is a long list and there are hundreds of not thousands of operations and I have access to about 20. But I hope you get a good idea about what Sayeret Matkal is.
My small humble story: About a half a year before my mandatory recruitment to the IDF,
I received a special invitation to the Matkal selection. I never asked for it so I don’t know why me? It’s a tiny Unit. I can only assume that because my father was a known Senior Officer in the IDF and has the highest security clearances possible.
Anyways, I was suppose to attend a location pretty close to where I lived, outside of the city by an IDF base. I arrived and what I saw was a few hundred teenagers (everyone was around 17.5 years old), many of them had sports shirts that indicated they were professional athletes in known sports teams. We were in a desert kind of sandy area and there was a small military tent, a Jeep and a very few soldiers that you couldn’t say they were from Matkal. We had to first run in the sand a pretty long distance and then do pull-ups on a metal bar that was there.
I very quickly realized that I didn’t have a chance against professional athletes.
I didn’t prepare very much and I wasn’t a great runner. I vomited after a long run in the sun.
I gave up. I didn’t see a way to compete with them. Anyways, this is my little story.
Matkal lost 9 people in the battles of 10/7. I don’t know how many they saved.
I will follow with a unique interview with a veteran Sayeret Matkal Officer.
God bless you all.
thanks David, I’ve copied that to a file and had a partial read but it’ll take me some time to digest it
here’s an article from Breitbart, it seems to say that IDF thinks they’ve completed (or nearly so) subduing Hamas … I’ve yet to have a thorough read, only skimmed
Israel: Hamas Battalions Are ‘Shattered’ in Gaza…
..Reduced to ‘Guerrilla’ Force
Hamas’s 24 battalions have been almost completely “shattered,” and the terror organization has been reduced to a “guerrilla” force, according to Israeli government spokesman David Mencer in a media briefing on Thursday.
Mencer was commenting on the report Wednesday by Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant that Israeli soldiers had recovered a memorandum from a dead senior Hamas commander to Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in which he said that the terrorist group had been reduced to 25% of its former capacity, that it was running out of rockets, and that it was losing support from the Palestinian civilian population, whose morale had been shattered by the war over time.
Hamas still holds 101 Israeli hostages, as many as 68 of whom may still be alive, and Sinwar is still hiding from Israeli forces. Yet there have been almost no rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza in recent months, and residents of some of the Israeli communities that Hamas attacked on October 7 have begun to return safely to their homes. Mencer said that Hamas is still dangerous, and that the war continues, but noted that Israel had in fact made dramatic strides.
Prior to Israel entering Rafah in May — over the objections of the Biden administration, and in the face of a partial withholding of weapons shipments — Israel had destroyed 18 of Hamas’s 24 battalions. The remaining six were in Rafah. Israel now appears to have destroyed or severely damaged all of the battalions, ending Hamas’s ability to function, for the moment, as a unified military force, and shifting the tactics of the war toward counterinsurgency.
However, as long as Hamas still holds Israeli hostages, and threatens to rearm — or to escape, with hostages, if Israeli troops leave the Philadelphi Corridor that runs along the Egyptian border — the long war will continue in Gaza.
Thank you. I know this report of the Speaker of the IDF. There are some serious challenges to its honesty so I needed time to decide on it. Yesterday a very high Commander from the overall Command of the IDF changed post and said they need another year to really completely collapse Hamas. Realize that when we enter a zone of a city the civilians get a notice to evacuate and Hamas people use it to escape. There are still a couple of rockets coming in on South Israel per week. So it’s much better but not over.
Every day I hear about 10-50 dead terrorists in Gaza and tunnel demolition. It means that there is a lot of work left to do. They built there a terror city , it’s insane. Of course they run out of munitions and if we hold on to Philadelphi Corridor they will not be able to replenish. I am not saying that the Speaker of the IDF lied, but I am not sure about it either at this point which is why I didn’t report it as facts. Realize that The letter that the Defense Minister released relates to Khan Yunis commander when we were killing them there.
🇮🇱 🙏 ❤️ 💪 David: 🔥 A truly FASCINATING read.
That info in your well-researched article is NOT available all in one place in English that I know of.
I appreciate you sharing your personal story, too.
Thank you!
God Bless you and all of Israel, including the Sayeret Matkal (a special breed of warriors).
Amen 🙏 🇮🇱
Thank you!❤️

Biography: August Krogh won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1920. He made important discoveries about how blood flows in muscles and other organs, and was awarded the prize “for his discovery of the capillary motor regulating mechanism.”
Krogh studied at the University of Copenhagen, earning his PhD in 1903. He began teaching there in 1908 and became a full professor in 1916. At the university, he led the first laboratory dedicated to animal physiology.
His research focused on how the body regulates blood flow in small blood vessels called capillaries, work which earned him the Nobel Prize. Krogh also invented a variety of scientific instruments, including a device to measure breathing.
Krogh collaborated with other famous scientists. He worked with Nobel laureates George de Hevesy and Niels Bohr on various projects. With his wife Marie Krogh, also a scientist, he first brought insulin production to Denmark.
In 1931, Krogh was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He later became a member of the United States National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.
Krogh and Marie had four children. Their youngest, Bodil Schmidt-Nielsen, became a well-known physiologist herself.
You can find the measure of a man in how he treats others when the cameras aren’t rolling. Kudos to this mom for getting the word out, and I join in prayer for little Liam.

Verse of the Day for Friday, September 13, 2024
✟
“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.”
John 15:9 (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.

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
COMFORT ME, OH LORD
Comfort me, Oh Lord, for I am sorely afflicted;
From Your confidence and light I have drifted;
Surrounded by machines that tests my body;
My brain works sporadically – and shoddy!
I have wandered around in a fog for weeks;
My muscles don’t hold; my voice it squeaks;
My joints are rubbing; my bones are frail;
I know not where I’m going or – to what avail!
Something deep inside – it seizes me tight;
I cannot even sleep all through the night;
I stumble and startle and I get confused;
From life I have retracted – joy is refused!
Comfort me, Oh Lord; I know not what to do;
Of what use I am – in this state – to serve You;
What have I done – oh, where have I failed?
I suspect that will be shown – and unveiled!
I’ve worried my wife, my family, and more;
This is not something I ever done before;
For I was the one to whom many would turn;
And now I am the object of much concern!
You have brought me down into such a state;
A place I would not go – or gravitate;
Helpless and hopeless before You – I am;
A carpenter not happy with this doorjamb!
There is a tumor that grew inside of my head;
Normally, it is something I would surely dread;
Then – in all of the hassle – to discover what;
Came an outpouring of love – a prayer putt!
Encouragement – zeal – I’ve not seen before;
With no knowledge of what might be in store;
In the weeks and months ahead and toward;
What You have in mind to bring forth forward!
Comfort me, Oh Lord, reveal Your hand;
I can take it, Lord; I will understand;
Unafraid am I of what may lie before me;
Help me, Oh Lord, I sincerely implore Thee!
Carry me, Lord, through the maze of trials;
Strengthen me, Lord, through the chorals;
Abide in me, Lord, through thick and thin;
Reside in me, Lord, renew me within!

Just dropping in for a moment while I have my coffee. Love the humongous bouquet – totally warranted for rah.

PROPHETIC WORD:
JGM – DIRTY DEALS MADE ARE ABOUT TO BE PUT OUT IN THE OPEN –
[13 September 2024] [Word heard – September 10, 2024]
My children, in this unprecedented time you are living in, will you continue to trust and rely on Me no matter what you are about to see? Things will begin to shake like never before. You will be in a place of the unknown, a place you have never been before, a place where it looks like there is no way out, a place where you will need to walk by faith, a place where you will need to stop the fear that is trying to overwhelm you, and is trying to overtake you. My children when I said great changes were coming – well now you are at the time of this change: a change politically, a change spiritually, a change financially, a change medically and a change of the tide, where the enemy wanted this world to go VS where I am changing the course of this world and taking it where I needed it to be with Me. The winds of change are here. What used to be your normal will not be normal to you anymore.
My children, everything you know as normal will be shaken. There’s a time where your day to day lives will be uprooted and shaken. That’s why I have been warning you not to get comfortable where you are and be prepared on where I’ve put you and where I need you to be and that is with Me. I will not fail you. I will protect and defend, not only this nation and Israel and all My children around the world. I am separating you from these oppressors that have kept you bound by their global govt and their global regimes. Their destruction and their fall will be a devastating sight to see. It will look like to the world because all of these things that will crumble and fall with them that you are used to that way of life. At first many will not understand how to live without that system.
My children, I want you to freely serve Me, so you are not so sick you could hardly survive, let alone enjoy life.

Months ago a friend sent me this poem – he had recently lost his wife after a long agonizing time on hospice…
Gone From My Sight
Henry Van Dyke
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship, at my side,
spreads her white sails to the moving breeze and starts
for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength.
I stand and watch her until, at length, she hangs like a speck
of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then, someone at my side says, “There, she is gone.”
Gone where?
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast,
hull and spar as she was when she left my side.
And, she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me — not in her.
And, just at the moment when someone says, “There, she is gone,”
there are other eyes watching her coming, and other voices
ready to take up the glad shout, “Here she comes!”
And that is dying…
I have – and had – a huge problem with this poem. It needed a preface, or preamble, or something written before the ship sailed.
In my mind the ship was securely tied to the dock, in its slip. It was being loaded – ok. But it was being buffeted by wind and waves. It was ready to sail but could not get free. The struggle was heartbreaking.
The hospice nurses and aides made a point of telling me – Doc needed to be told it was OK for him to leave. That was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do in my life.
I cheated. I said it in as many ways as I could without actually saying ‘its OK to leave’ But in the end I did say it – and he left in peace.
His ship was actually free of the mooring for several days … we could tell that tho the body still breathed but the ‘soul’ was no longer there. I do believe the souls on the other shore shouted ‘Here He comes, yay!’
PRAYERS UP FOR YOU, DEAR – 🙏🙏🙏
GOD BE WITH YOU TO COMFORT AND SUSTAIN YOU !!! 💖💖💖
ANGELS WATCHING OVER YOU !!! 🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️
You come up with the most beautiful posts. Treasuring your love and welcoming all the angels that want to visit
From the question: how many angels can dance on the head of a pin….
I thank angels daily for ‘working’ to make my vision as good as it can be. Ages ago Feral Cat loaned me ‘sewing angels’ to mend my optic nerve which was damaged by glaucoma (caused by the wet macular shots). I visualize Angels effecting DNA repair.
We also had them hovering over and around Doc. He could see them ❤
Bless you
GOD GAVE THE ANGELS CHARGE OVER US – SO THEY ARE ALWAYS THERE WHEN YOU NEED THEM !!!
ASK FOR. AN ‘ANGEL ASSIST’ ANYTIME – AND – THEY WILL COME RUNNING. !!!
💙🧚🏻♀️💙
Yes – they are both visible and invisible. We had both helping us thru the last few months – but i know the 3 you sent are hovering nearby – tickling my ear, now that I notice
SMILING BIGLY HERE !!! 🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️🧚🏻♀️
ms Idaho
How beautifully expressed. Your words are so very touching.
I think the reluctance to say out loud, “it’s okay for you to leave, I’ll be okay,” is that it means that we have accepted the finality – we know there is no turning back. It’s the letting go. 🙏
it’s all of that – but then he said ‘I don’t want to go without you’.
We had hoped we could go together – alas, he who plans these things made it come out differently. But I said ‘where you are going there is no time. You get things ready and I’ll be there soon. ‘

Understanding and Addressing Vitamin D Resistance
https://orthomolecular.activehosted.com/index.php?action=social&chash=8d3bba7425e7c98c50f52ca1b52d3735.329&s=04542b2da4b2c64b294a6af7089bc053
(Type of information in article:)
“Vitamin C:
Research indicates that vitamin C deficiency can impair the immune-modulating effects of vitamin D. Vitamin C may enhance the effects of vitamin D, particularly in improving metabolic health and immune function.
Metabolic Health: A study found that both vitamin C and vitamin D3 supplementation improved metabolic parameters in obese mice, suggesting a synergistic effect on metabolic health. The combination of these vitamins significantly altered the gut microbiota, enhancing its diversity and overall health, which is crucial for metabolic regulation (53).
Immune Function: Vitamin C is known for its role in immune support, and its supplementation has been associated with improved immune responses. For instance, vitamin C can enhance the function of neutrophils and other immune cells, potentially aiding in the body’s response to infections. This immune-boosting property may complement the effects of vitamin D, which also plays a vital role in immune regulation (54-56).
Clinical Implications: The combined supplementation of vitamin C and vitamin D has been suggested to improve outcomes in individuals with metabolic syndrome, highlighting their potential benefits in clinical settings. Vitamin C may help mitigate some of the resistance associated with vitamin D deficiency, thereby improving overall health outcomes (53,57).”
Interaction Between Vitamins B and D
Supplementation Effects: A study showed that supplementation with vitamin D3 and B vitamins significantly decreased bone turnover in elderly individuals.
Specifically, the combination of these vitamins improved plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and reduced parathyroid hormone levels, which are critical for bone metabolism (58).
Positive Correlation: Another study highlighted a positive association between plasma levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and both folate and vitamin B12 in adolescents. This suggests that adequate levels of B vitamins may support the metabolism and effectiveness of vitamin D (59,60).
Cognitive and Memory Benefits: Research also indicates that vitamin B12 and folate can help reverse cognitive impairments associated with vitamin D deficiency. This underscores the potential of B vitamins to enhance the overall effectiveness of vitamin D in various physiological processes, including cognitive functions (61).
Sounds like a multivitamin supplement would be a good idea.
Evenin’ Miss Patience

Great video. I have been watching a few ‘driving the Swiss Alps’ videos and those cliffy roads are terrifying. Sometimes the narrowness of these roads are made even more narrow by the road working crews. You would have to have nerves of steel to drive and even more to work on the sides of those mountains . I kept expecting to see the sort of event like those shown on your video. AAARRGGHHHHH!
One video showed disturbingly large cracks in the road surface and the likelihood that the section of road is about to fall away. The drivers are all very polite and back up, and squeeze to the side, to allow each other to pass.
It reminds me of when I once drove a seventeen and a half foot long Chevy Bel Air a 1959 model on a scary narrow cliffy logging road in 1971, with three passengers, where logging vehicles had the right of way, through some coastal mountains in B.C.
Talk about white knuckle driving. Just after that , the next year they put in a new road, two lanes and paved, to the Coast.
Wonderful scenery. https://sigistravelvideos.com/
“Speaking at the Chatham House think tank in London, Mr Clegg said there were a “multitude of apps” used by teenagers and content would simply move from one app to another.
“If you ask each company to play whack-a-mole with these things, it’s going to be a nightmare for parents … because they have to do it on each single app,” the former leader of the Liberal Democrats in the UK said.”

I think they’re just trying to force adults to not be able to be anonymous online. They’re using child safety as the excuse.
But that’s just my opinion, I haven’t really been following too much.
Our current government is run by the left faction of the left party… 🤦
I’m very hopeful that we can have a change of government next election!!
I feel this section of CTH is like an oasis. A brief respite from the madness of the world, inescapable in all the other threads and topics and yet. Like seeing a car wreck, when one cannot turn away.

The determination of evil people to force One-World -Government on the whole world is increasing:
We can guess what will happen to Western Civilization if this coming election is fixed, ( we know they plan to do that, cheat as usual) and President Donald Trump and his MAGA government may be prevented in some other way, of taking over power from these lawless and depraved Globalists/fascists and there are several ways this could be brought about.)
Different scenarios have already been discussed, you know what they are. They have already tried to put him in prison and even have tried to kill him. They are ruthless. They are satanic.
It is essential to stop the insanity of the Globalists. However, It may even be too late, it might have already started.
God forbid!
Christians know about the Tribulation that is prophesied in the Bible. We KNOW that it is coming. God’s prophesies have all come true. He does not lie. Perhaps that is what we are headed for.
However, all freedom-loving people must keep fighting for what is good, and you know what is expected of you, if you want to survive the 7 years of Tribulation, should you have to go through it.

“In his speech, Fúster highlighted how the Canary Islands, once known for their beauty and peace, have become a front line in the illegal immigration crisis. “They come here not looking for work but to exploit Spain’s welfare system,” Fúster stated, underscoring the growing frustration among the local population.
He further explained that public services are overwhelmed, hospitals are stretched thin, and law enforcement is unable to keep pace with the increasing crime rates.
“This is an invasion the Canary Islanders did not provoke, nor did they ask for,” Fúster added. According to him, the root cause lies in the deliberate policies of Spain’s left-wing government. “It’s the politicians from the Popular Party and the Socialist Party who have created this ‘pull effect’ that invites more and more illegal immigrants into our country, overwhelming our services and social fabric.””
This demonic devastation has already taken place in most of Europe, and now the U.S. is being systematically destroyed. The Western world has to be ready for anything. Keep your knees bent!

Hi Rach,
Read your comments earlier about Natural Law and the rights of man that you were expounding to fellow citizens of I think Australia?
Yes our founders of the USA synthesized a great deal that everyone of every country should grab onto.
It’s biblical. Creators rights. Individual freedom.
You go girl.
monti
Yes, I passionately love freedoms. Sadly, many other Aussies don’t seem to care. I think maybe they are taking their lifestyles for granted.
Having said that, one of my jobs is at a takeaway and there are definitely some people awake. But I think maybe not enough.
Thanks ❤️

ONE DAY, SOMEDAY
Have you been abandoned and left alone
Is the pain so unbearable you’re thrown
It comes not from the body or the head
It comes spiritually inside instead
One day, someday you’ll discover that He
Will reveal more than imagined to be
Quit waiting for man to make it alright
Quit sitting on your bum get in the fight
Armor up daily and please pray pray pray
There really is no other possible way
We fight an enemy fierce and unseen
An enemy in plain sight ever been
Blind to the peril under which we survive
Unable to progress or even thrive
Twas not what God wanted or even planned
This surreptitious slavery under man
Some have claimed God could really care less
Despite her gifts ‘Merica is a mess
Look at what we accepted without a peep
How did we manage to get in so deep
The web the enemy cleverly weaved
Has cause devastation so bereaved
We’ve lost what we valued so dear to our hearts
Broken to pieces and left without parts
When will God move as He promised of old
When will He free us from bondage foretold
When will the fruits of the wicked be torn
When will our nation be no more forlorn
Someday soon you will see His Almighty Hand
Spread worldwide over the sky sea and land
The Trumpet will sound everyone will hear
There’ll be joy everywhere not a single tear
