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 †

Thank you, Annie
The pure “majesty” of these beautiful dogs shining through!
Gorgeous!
what a smile elvis aaron presley had ..
Some glorious guitar playing here. I found the Alfonisa y el Mar especially beautiful.
Morning, Garrison 💕 Valeria is an artist who’s name is new I think to us. What a beautiful player she is…more of her, please…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎶
So comes the day once again…CURSDAY ! 💕
This little one knows she’s safe 💕
One day…
Attack dog! 😁
More like a sign that says – Free Kisses. What a cutie 💓
I’d take ’em!!! 😍
More efficacious than a bottle of pills
That southern gal raised eyebrow🙈
Powerful…and effective, P 😁😘☕
😢 sent it to all the kids already.
We need to have a plan to make corporate adoption of animals viable, common, and preferable.
Years ago, I (very) occasionally had to bring an injured animal to work with me when it was an “in office” day. One time the doctor for whom I was working told me I couldn’t. So, I gave him the option of my chocolate lab, Clarence, who was post-op and myself or……..nobody. He chose wisely. Banner day, of course. Couldn’t walk the hall for the patients wanting to get into my office to pet Clarence.
Told him he just got the cheapest and best PR ever!
Oh good for you, Corny 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻💕
Stuck to your guns. Best medicine ever for his patients 😌💕
Such a lovely story…
I think so, too 😌💕
Blessings to all in our beautiful Tree 🙏🏻💕
Nice selection today Betsy 👏👏😘👍..love them 👍👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
Morning, Jim 🤗😘 So glad you approve 💕☕👍🏻
✝️ ❤️
Outstanding Cursday photos and memes today, Betsy!
Several touched me in an unexpected way. Especially that li’l feller at the end who apparently sniffed me out….. 😍
Ya done good, M’lady. ❤️
Bless, dear GB 😘
I’m finding these days I, too, am surprisingly vulnerable…unexpectedly… to certain ones I find.
“Where on earth did THAT come from??” I ask myself when I am swallowing hard.
I must say the times are a-changing, dear friend…wanna know how I can tell?
Time was it was no problem finding and saving these lovely memes for our Cursdays or Caturdays. A veritable cornucopia I’d have to choose from.
Now?
No one is posting these memes, instead substituting political or not so pleasant downers. I keep looking and saving, but the inventory is shrinking…
I do fear one day will come when what I can offer will disappoint.. Hope I am wrong, as somehow when I least expect to find one, here they all come 😉
Off on the hunt once more 😎💕
I did not know about the shrinking volume of pet memes, Betsy.
Still, you come up with good ones.
I never tire of seeing what you bring on Cursday and Caturday.
Carry on!
Oh yeah, Bets.
I’m sure all my fur kids have and will make it to heaven.
Sometimes that even alters my behavior! 😜
St Francis might have had a quiet word. I hope so 💕

OMG This is so true about labs and water. Mine have a stock tank of their own to swim in, cool off in, drink from etc. They use it even in winter. I have actually seen them break through thin ice to enter.
But……come out with doggie shampoo! Woo Doggies – they look at you as though you are Nazi Piglosi! I wear a “baby suit” as my kids called it, to enter the fray!
“But……come out with doggie shampoo! Woo Doggies – they look at you as though you are Nazi Piglosi! I wear a “baby suit” as my kids called it, to enter the fray!”
Pffffft……we once had a long haired orange cat weighing around 15 pounds.
When she needed a bath she thought I was gonna baptize her. (Pro-tip, you can’t baptize cats)
I always had my daughter with me so that when the inevitable moment came when the cat (in shallow water, mind you) made “the leap for life” over my head and dug the claws into my back, she could “unclaw” the cat from me.
This was *NEVER* a quick endeavor.
However, it was *ALWAYS* something my daughter found funny!
Was it Betsy that posted something with a cat cleaning its claws that had the meme “cleaning the murder mittens”?
Yeah. Murder mittens.
Shampoo is much safer than murder mittens!!!
Greg,
😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣 😂
Do you know I have never bathed a kitty – too chicken! Not kidding. I’ve been flayed to the bone for far less!
I KNEW that one would appeal to you, sis…now how did I know that I wonder 😉😁😘👍🏻
I’ve got a glorious mental picture of your lot. Smiling as I type…
(Hope your “baby” is not suffering post op🙏🏻)
Evenin’ Bets
Spoke with the “baby” several times today. Says he’s in pain, but nothing he can’t handle.
We have a St Francis fountain that the birds love, and a beautiful large copper one who resides in one of our fur baby cemeteries. He has a very serene comforting comportment that I like.
It may have been Ben Franklin who said, if his dogs weren’t in heaven, he didn’t want to go there either. I get that.
Mornn’ Bet, love. Admittedly the Siccas guys are doing my curator work for me, but it is still most enjoyable findng and posting these fine players. They are just so good!
They truly are! Such a wonderful organization. Not hard I suspect when one is so passionate for the instrument and its marvelous aficionados. Keep on keeping on, dear you 👍🏻😘
Have a wonderful day, my man Garrison😎

You too, dear Patience. Just got a call from my tax attorney. He’s got my taxes ready to send to IRS. Talk about money well spent! There was a lot more stress this time around. Don’t think I’ll use the extension again, at least if I don’t absolutely have to. Whew. Don’t want to do this again.
So glad for you, buddy❣️❣️❣️

Hello, Lady.
Yes…. That what struck me
She IS excellent at her craft, Garrison!
Not only is Alfonisa y el Mar “especially beautiful” with its latin-themed melody, her rendition of Villoldo’s Argentine Tango piece El Choclo is ¡Absolutamente precioso!
And I loved her blithesome pose at the very end
Completely off topic and sorry for any interruptions in posts but did anyone notice the fallout from 23&me. Seems like a company holding the genetic code of millions of people would be valuable.

Israel Update:
Here is the corrected update about the electronic attacks in Lebanon step by step:
Monday 7:30AM after Israeli Defense Minister’s talk with his US counterpart the Israeli made a statement: “The possibility of an arrangement at the north is passing by – the direction is clear”.
Monday 6:00PM Israeli Defense Minister met the American messenger to Lebanon that tried for month to make an agreement (Amos Hochman). Defense Minister: “The only way left to return the residents of the North is through a military action”. “There is no way to return our residents without a fundamental change in the security situation at the north”.
Tuesday 6:00AM The War Cabinet decides to add a new clause to the war goals – a safe return of the North’s residents to their homes.
Tuesday 1:30PM Israeli Shabak (“Israel’s FBI”) exposes a Hezbollah plan and explosives meant to assassinate Ex-Chief of Staff and ex-Defense Minister Bogi Yaalon.
Tuesday 1:30PM Thousands of beepers are blowing up in Lebanon at the same time. Official Lebanese statement say 2,750 injured and 12 killed and there is an unverified number from Syria of 19 Iranian Revolutionary Guard people killed and 131 injured. In Israel we estimate that the numbers of killed are way higher and there is a significant damage to the Elite Radwan Force. The beepers are from a Taiwanese company, Gold Apollo. They deny any involvement and say it was subcontracted to a Hungarian company by the name BAC. BAC are a shell company says they were just the mid company and not manufacturer. They go offline. There is a report that Hezbollah started to suspect the Beepers which is why it was decided to use them now.
Wednesday 5:00PM Hundreds of Walkie Talkies explode across Lebanon. There are also reports of home solar energy systems exploding and fingerprint devices. Lebanon are saying that there are 20 killed and 450 injured. It seems like the beepers and the walkie talkies arrived to Lebanon 5 months ago. The leader of Hezbollah was paranoid about cell phones after they were use to track and assassinate key members of Hezbollah, he ordered to change to beepers and walkie talkies.
Wednesday 9:00 PM : The motorcade of Netanyahu is seen by the headquarters of the Mossad. Netanyahu at the same day makes a statement that “we are going to securely and safely return the residents of the north to their homes”. At the same day Defense a Minister stated: “We are at he beginning of a new stage of the war”.
Chief of Staff at the North Command said: “We have many more capabilities”.
The question to be asked: Will Israel use the chaos to maneuver into Lebanon and push Hezbollah away from the border and change the situation or will Israel succumb to US pressure and waste the advantage of the electronic strikes and go into a defensive anticipation for revenge and only then act?
God bless you!
David
Blessings on you, David. From Texas – Get ’em! We can think God for Mossad. . .

Garrison, Yes, I do thank God for them, and, I think PDT needs to hire them for his personal security. I’ll contribute.
🙏 ❤️ 🇮🇱 💪 David: Thank you for Blessing us and I Bless you back.
Also, thank you for painstakingly and clearly laying out the last few days’ events for us.
Israel has done ingenious work!
I think I can feel your agony over having Israel being let down by her allies and pushed around by various countries, UN, and other organizations.
🙏 🇮🇱 I pray that Israel will “use the chaos to maneuver into Lebanon and push Hezbollah away from the border and change the situation” and that God will Provide the miracles needed for ample munitions and support from the USA and other countries as necessary for victorious success.
Amen 🇮🇱 🙏

The British Telegraph: “A tiny nation, the size of Wales, is now standing alone in a fight for all of humanity against barbarism.”
This is what brave people do, David. Blessings, friend . . . 🙂 If you haven’t done so, I’d like suggest that you read the “Battle Of Adobe Wells” and, also, the “Battle Of King’s Mountain”. My people at their best.
Thank you. I just find the actual article which is even better than what I quoted. See below:
🇮🇱 💪 ❤️ 🎶 David: I agree with every word and opinion in this great article you are showing us.
And, Israelis (you included) have SO much to teach the rest of the world — and Israelis (you included) are so willing, loving, compassionate, and generous about it.

Israel has a smaller population than Haiti….Haiti has 11.5 million…so what is their problem?

I read that a message went out to the pagers just before they detonated
Many victims may have picked them up to look at the message, thereby getting the explosion right in the face
Lebanese doctor says he has ‘never had to remove more eyes’ as hospitals overflow with maimed pager attack victims
Other targets seem to have gotten it right in the beltline where they were carried, I think I saw at least one femoral artery bleed-out in a photo
King’s Mountain?
I try to check several times a year to see if there are any new and interesting articles. Am unsure if any of my own ‘ancient’ American ancestors directly participated, but I’m pretty sure that some of their close associates did.
Scots-Irish “Over Mountain Men” 1000 strong, surrounded and defeated a British regiment who’s commander had threatened to destroy their villages. It was an epic fight.
Yes, Garrison
I so admire raw courage. The passages and psalms in the Bible dealing with with bravery, courage, human perseverance are so inspiring.

Thank you. I will follow.
Looks to be extremely interesting.
This song personifies a brave man. Trump turned and faced his threats head-on, unafraid, determinined, even more confident than ever before. This man is a hero. His enemies should tremble. He is our leader.
it’s absolutely perfect ♥️
Bravest man in America, annie . . . He obviously has Our Lord’s support. He acknowledged that today. When you think about it, how could he not? How could we not?
President Trump swore to the highest oath in the United States.
He has not, nor will not, break it.
He, like most Americans, does not ‘have a choice’.
What you swear to God, is between you and God.
Choose life.
Trust God. Fear not.
God is in control.
Inspiring and very American.
He absolutely IS a fighter. Most men (myself included) having been through what Donald Trump has been put through the past eight years would have folded their proverbial tent long ago and simply retired to Palm Beach, Florida to a life of enjoyment, golf and luxury. HE did not! He has stayed on to fight… FOR US… despite all that the left has managed to pummel him with. Thank you SIR.. thank you from all of us
He is impervious to the woke marxists and associated treasonous.
traitors
Yes, Biddie
The best way to honor him is to do our best to emulate that resolve with our behaviors. ❤️ Trump
I am so proud of President Trump. He repels the slings and arrows as though they are nothing. If the American people are so stupid as to not return him to his rightful position, they deserve the outcome. But, so many good faithful people do not. Such a conundrum and so disturbing. ❤️
The Godly Quality of Generosity
Generosity is an attitude of gladly sharing whatever we might have,
regardless of our wealth.
And as part of His transformative plan for believers,
the Father desires that we develop a generous spirit.
Watched this video about one of my old haunts, reminding me about back in the day before greed came to town. When we would park our surfer dude Kombis (I had an old fleet line) with the split windscreen and opening side doors. Double bunk, stove, little storage nooks, and of course the vibes from an old cassette deck with JJ Cale or CSN and so forth. The absolute dread of any daughters father. Can’t say I blame them, except to put their minds at ease with regard to the “surfer boy” lifestyle. In reality “chicks” in general don’t really enjoy the cold, wind and rain (good for surf) but not so much for the ladies. The “Image” soon wears off – for rosier comforts. Which is why, contrary to many beliefs, the surfer is actually quite a “loner” (alone with nature). Not always attractive to venture capitalists. Which brings me to my point after much rambling. I think Rah might enjoy this – testimony from guys in the know about what a con the entire GlowBULL warming scam is. When we look for truth – in truth – we almost inevitable find, it is us that has mismanaged, and are re-causing much of the destruction,they then twist into a lie. Seen it happen with my own eyes, without really understanding how complex the entire system is.
“Cassette deck” ….. boy oh boy! That’s a term I haven’t heard in decades!
“contrary to many beliefs, the surfer is actually quite a “loner” (alone with nature)”
Indeed!
The Lonely Surfer – Jack Nitzsche
Nitsche was a maverick music producer in Hollywood circles, he produced Neil Youngs first album and his stellar tracks on the last Buffalo Springfield album, Broken Arrow and Expecting to Fly, and I think wrote the string orchestrations.

“You dared to strike at a wise and courageous people on October 7th—committing genocide, kidnapping their children, and violating their women. You thought they would fall, but they rose again. After 11 months, they returned to correct what briefly slipped—their intelligence. Now, they will send you back 1,000 years, to an era without technology, where a ringing phone feels like a death sentence and a beep is a nightmare. You will be haunted by your own shadow, too afraid to use any technology, cut off from the advanced world.
They will defeat you—not with bullets or tanks, but with the unbreakable will of brave and intelligent people. Over a simple cup of coffee, with a decisive click, they will seal your fate and that of anyone who dares to harm their children.
This is a nation the world respects. Lebanon—Hezbollah’s beeper attacks and today’s V82 strike aren’t just military victories; they represent a triumph for the Middle East over radicalism—a victory not just for Israel, but for all who stand against terror.”

Mayer Amschel Rothschild
(1744-1812)
German Jewish banker and founder of the Rothschild banking dynasty, dies at 68
Biography: Mayer Amschel Rothschild was a German banker and financier who founded the Rothschild banking dynasty, which became one of the most influential and powerful financial empires in European history. His innovative approach to banking, coupled with his ability to forge strategic alliances and navigate the complex world of European politics, laid the foundation for the Rothschild family’s lasting legacy in finance.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild began his career in banking in the late 18th century, in the city of Frankfurt. Starting from humble origins, he established a banking and financial enterprise that catered to the needs of European nobility and royalty. His keen business sense and talent for identifying investment opportunities allowed him to amass considerable wealth and influence.
One of Rothschild’s most significant achievements was the development of an international network of banking and financial services, which he achieved by strategically placing his five sons in key European cities: London, Paris, Vienna, Naples, and Frankfurt. This network allowed the Rothschilds to coordinate their financial activities across the continent, providing them with access to vital information and resources, and facilitating their rise to prominence in European finance.
The Rothschild family’s banking empire played a crucial role in financing major infrastructure projects and political endeavors throughout the 19th century, including the construction of railways and the funding of governments during times of war. The family’s influence extended well beyond finance, as they became patrons of the arts and sciences, and helped shape the cultural landscape of Europe as a whole.
19 September
James Garfield
(1831-1881)
20th US President (Republican: 1881), dies of a gunshot wound at 49
Biography: The 20th President of the United States (1881). His presidency lasted just 200 days, from March 4, 1881, until his death on September 19, 1881, as a result of being shot by an assassin earlier in the year. Garfield, who represented Ohio in the House of Representatives, is to this day the only president elected who was a sitting House member.
Despite his exceptionally brief period of time in office, Garfield’s accomplishments as President included a controversial resurgence of Presidential authority above Senatorial courtesy in executive appointments; energizing U.S. naval power; and purging corruption in the Post Office Department. He also advocated for civil service reform which was signed into law by his successor.
Garfield was shot by Charles J. Guiteau on July 2, 1881. The wound was not immediately fatal, but bad medical practices and uses of unwashed tools and hands by his doctors led to the wound becoming infected. He died on September 19, 1881, making him one of four presidents to have been assassinated, following Abraham Lincoln and before William McKinley and John F. Kennedy. He was succeeded by his Vice President, Chester A. Arthur.
19 September
Guy Gibson
(1918-1944)
British aviator who led the Dambusters Raid (Victoria Cross), killed in action at 26
Biography: Guy Penrose Gibson was a British bomber pilot in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. He was the first Commanding Officer of No. 617 Squadron, leading the “Dam Busters” raid in 1943, which breached two large dams in the Ruhr area of Germany. Gibson was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration for valor. Over his career, he completed over 170 war operations before his death at age 26.
Born in Simla, British India, Gibson’s early life was marked by his parents’ separation when he was six. He was educated in England, starting school at West Cornwall College before moving to London. He attended St Edward’s School, Oxford, where he developed interests in science, photography, and literature.
Gibson’s military career began with his training at the Bristol Flying School and RAF Uxbridge. He joined No. 83 (Bomber) Squadron, flying Hawker Hinds and later Handley Page Hampdens. Gibson distinguished himself as a skilled and courageous pilot, leading to his assignment to No. 29 Squadron in Fighter Command.
During his time with No. 106 Squadron in Bomber Command, Gibson led several significant operations, including raids on Le Creusot and the Ruhr dams. His leadership in the Dam Busters raid cemented his reputation as an exceptional military leader. Gibson’s final operational tour was with No. 617 Squadron, where he planned and executed the famed Operation Chastise against the German dams.
Gibson’s life was cut short in 1944 when he died in a plane crash during a mission over Germany.
19 September
Orville Redenbacher
(1907-1995)
American popcorn magnate (Orville Redenbacher’s Gourmet Popcorn), suffers heart attack drowns in his whirlpool bathtub at 88
Biography: Orville Redenbacher was an American businessman and food scientist, known for the Orville Redenbacher popcorn. He and his business partner Charlie Bowman developed an initial corn hybrid for use as this popping corn.
Redenbacher grew up on a family farm where he had an early interest in popcorn, selling it from his car. He then attended Purdue University and received a degree in agronomy.
While Redenbacher started out selling fertilizer, his experiments with popcorn eventually led to the partnership with Bowman. The company launched its popping corn under Redenbacher’s name in 1970.
Gibson was a great leader as head of the X (617 squadron). Absolutely fearless in action. But after the award of the VC for the Dams raid he became rather full of himself according to several first hand accounts I have read over the years.
Barns Wallis, the inventor and developer of the bomb and it’s method of delivery, was there at the airfield awaiting the return of the men. When he realized what the losses had been he said he wished he had never thought of the idea.
Wallis was a real gentleman, but was as dogged in dealing with the military bureaucracy as he was in solving engineering and design problems. He went on to invent the Tallboy and Grand slam bombs, designed for deep penetration that proved effective against Hitler’s concrete monstrosities like the U-boat pens and secret weapons sights and even RR tunnels and even the Tirpitz.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night,
…
For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
How great are your works, O Lord!
Your thoughts are very deep!
Psalms 92:1-2,4-5 (ESV)
George Enescu was a Romanian composer (1888-1955) whose work straddles the Post-Romantic and the 20th-century’s various “schools” (Neo-Classicism, Nationalism, so-called “Atonalism,” Dodecaphony).
With this work we hear Nationalism at its best! And this performance by a German orchestra will make you think that they are the wildest, proudest Romanians on the planet!
Start your day with this! You will start it with a wide smile!
Greetings Treepers!

Mega Mystery Over Huge Unclaimed Mega Millions Lottery Jackpot
After 6 months, a New Jersey lotto winner has yet to claim their $1.13 billion.
September 14, 2024
https://www.vice.com/en/article/mega-millions-jackpot-unclaimed-lottery-ticket-new-jersey/
While it’s unusual for so much time to have passed, there’s a few reasons for delaying the claim. More than a billion dollars is, well, a lot of money. After deductions and taxes, it’s still $537.5 million. Seeking legal and financial advice ahead of coming into that much money is something even the New Jersey Lottery urges its winners do ahead of time. So perhaps the lucky person is getting their ducks all in a row before going in and claiming the prize.
That being said, New Jersey is one of the states that allows winners to keep their identity a secret aside from providing it to state officials. The state is 1 of 18 in the country that allows for anonymous winners.
If that ticket goes unclaimed past March 26, 2025, the money goes back to the state. Typically, states take the money they get back and apply it to public programs like schools. Pennsylvania, for example, uses unclaimed lottery winnings to support elderly programs.

“From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”
Psalms 61:2 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
Boxing match ?
Love fest ?
Chiropractic treatment ?
🤔
Hey, Patience
Have these boxers mistaken themselves for wrestlers?
The chairpad boxer looks not at all perturbed.
Beautiful pups. 😍
That’s your call 👻
looks to me like someone got a little too big for their britches…
(and by someone, i mean the bottom dog. 😂)
to expand:
bottom dog is being reminded who’s the boss.
dogs have a highly developed sense of fairness,
and if bottom dog didn’t think he deserved the lesson,
there would be turmoil, to say the least.
dogs also thrive on a highly structured pecking order.
true leader dogs generally dole out lessons tailored only to the strength needed, no more.
might be a look, might be a perpendicular stance, might be a low rumble, might be a sharp reminder bark.
and some are just blunt, like the top boxer.🤣
making his point with no damage – very creative!👍🏻😂👍🏻
-Hot Dog !!!!❣️
😎
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
DELIVER ME, LORD
Deliver me, Lord who am so miserable;
My enemies assail me – most accusable;
Desirous of my forthcoming adjustability;
They demand in an instant – accountability!
For Your sake, Lord, I would suffer it all;
Any indignity that upon me might fall;
It is for you, Lord, that I live and I am;
It is for you, Lord, that I study and cram!
Have I not kept thy holy precepts?
Have I not shared these holy concepts?
Have I not loved my neighbor as myself?
Have I put my feelings – back on the shelf?
You are faithful in all Your words and deeds;
You provide not our wants, but all our needs;
You are with us always – just as You promised;
Giving us Your peace – so we may be calmest!
Cease from thy anger and forsake all wrath;
Fret not of thyself; deter not thy path;
Return not evil for evil – and do thee good;
Retain thy righteousness – as thee should!
Take care with thy words – lest they painful sting;
For truth can be hurtful – not a pleasant thing;
Words – they cannot ever return to the mouth;
Once out in the air – they will surely turn south!
Oh, Lord – if correction and conviction I need;
Please send me Your Spirit – to my heart let it speed;
Not a moment can I be away from You;
I cannot live on – I know not what to do!
Conflict me – convict me – and give me the pain;
I have caused another – with words I have slain;
It matters not whether or not it be true;
Nothing is worth being separated from You!
Bring healing and peace – reconciliation, too;
Do with me what you want – whatever you do;
It cannot be worse than what you endured;
Please don’t leave me alone and uncured!
I trust in Your judgment so whatever you do;
I will suffer in silence – imitative of you;
I will seek not comfort – nor praise from You;
So do what you must – to refresh and renew!
Deliver Me, Lord – and make it alright;
I have forgiven all – and I’ll stay out of sight;
Never again will I use words to say;
Nor with my words again will I slay!

Are you sure you aren’t a reincarnation of King David Duchess 🙂 At least in the spiritual sense. One can definitely hear the influence (and I assume inspiration) of the Psalms. Which after all are the prayers, confessions, pleadings, rants, apologies and praises of the great man. Don’t know why, but this track by Phil comes to mind. David sitting in the cave wondering, fearing and requesting 🙂 🙂 Oddly enough the line “I’ve been sitting staring at the phone…” must be going through many a mind of the “free philistine” crowd right about now. My advice to them would be to call our Father in heaven rather – it’s free and there’s no call charge or time limit. Perhaps we all might do with the right message, before we repeat history (and misery) over and over. This one (poem) is a keeper. That’s the spirit.
Of course one line leads to another, one idea to the next. So not surprising I ended up playing my “Phil” playlist. First met Phil back when they were Genesis. Can’t remember exactly how “old” I was back then, but remember the real older folks giving me the “we’ll need to keep an eye on him” look. They being into Frank Sinatra, Nana Mouskouri and such. I think they thought I was a bit “weird”. My Black Sabbath album had already convinced them there was “something wrong” 🙂 They never thought to ask what I thought of their stuff. Actually I liked a lot of it and still do. Anyway continuing on the topic of chasing false realities such as the “free philistine nonsense”, I thought this track by Genesis sorta points out where we end up when we don’t follow true and sure ways as prescribed by our Maker – for our OWN good.

My favorite filmmaker/ director of all time.
These 3 great pics just give me more reasons to love him. He so obviously adores his pup.

Love your pics, Patience…👏👏😀👍
🇺🇸💪😀👍
There is much joy to be found
-and shared.😜
Have a really enjoyable day, Jim. 🪴
I wonder how many kids enjoy such an idyllic childhood these days? And with no cellphone?!
Just lovin’ this picture. 💖
Maybe a few dozen total, who reside exclusively in rural America and who are home schooled by parents who allow no smartphones or television.
Be of good cheer. There’s probably a few dozen within only 25 miles of where I sit, and there’s a lot of very rural area around here. (Nearest McDonalds is 95 miles from my house.)
So good to hear, Science. Gives me hope.

Yep! 👍 You are spot on.
Reform UK Conference starts tomorrow

They must pack the court or the deep states power will be severely eroded.
YouTube recently trying to stop me. They froze one of my accounts for two weeks with a threat for permanent freeze.
They don’t like videos of Hezbollah get screwed. So I posted on another channel and wanted to share the ambush that Hezbollah fell into this Monday and they prevented me from sharing it. I managed to delete it and edit it in a way to confuse their algorithm. Now I can share, unfortunately with an age restriction and a required log in. It’s up to you if you want to watch. I am posting it below. It was not published until today. Footage from terrorist’s body camera. There is also another video of a drone terminating this incident.
They fell into an Ambush of Sayeret Egoz and Golani. I just posted yesterday a video about Egoz. They are a very powerful Special Forces unit that is specialized in camouflage and counter guerrilla warfare.
If you don’t want to log in I managed to find it elsewhere. See below.
You are busy this morning!
Thanks!

David: is that “THE” IDF web site? 😃 That link works.
btw: you may want to watch Traveling Israel’s latest YT video, entitled “Do you want to see my 18+ videos?”
Looks like Oren has uncovered some facts about YT’s 18+ designation (which he recently “acquired” on several of his most popular videos, including one on the Nahkba) and he shares them on the above video
Yes. IDF website. The source. Will look into Traveling Israel.
Mr52 posted the following in the daily presidential thread. Thought it would amuse you guys
“Looks like the Israelis have won the PsyWar”
My God!!!!!
The IDF has a publicly accessible website????
Huh?
I would have never even looked for such a thing as it couldn’t possibly exist.
Amazing.
But how does anybody ever remember the above URL? 😆
Wonderful!

Max Blumenthal
Sundance – watch first 12 minutes to see your mini-me. :>)
Those working for the hospital of the American University at Beirut were told to get rid of their pagers two weeks before the attack. Does not compute with what Blumenthal is saying that the attack was a result of Hezbollah underlings having discovered their devices were compromised. There has been no evidence I have seen to back that contention.
I would challenge the Judge to produce the section of the Geneva Accords that stipulates that what Israel did is a “war crime” as he claims.
Where I stand. The only way this everlasting conflict will end is if there is a clear winner and I want Israel to be that winner. Hezbollah is a proxy of the Persian nation of Iran and Iran is the greatest obstacle to a long term peace in the Middle East region and a threat to every peaceful Muslim country in the region. That is why the more civilized Arab nations are celebrating these attacks on Hezbollah and not supporting the Hamas anymore.
For Your Information
If you do a search on Malaysia “402 children rescued” …… you will learn that authorities are still arresting many adults as part of an ongoing investigation into child sexual abuse allegedly occurred at a number of Islamic Children’s Orphanages.
I have not fully researched this, but I can tell you that over half a dozen articles are available online about this horror.
I simply stumbled upon it, and perhaps you have already been following this awful situation.
Four hundred and two minors were rescued by Malaysian authorities.
Thank God.
True? 🤔
It was once socially acceptable to mail children. The New York Times reported that the first baby to be mailed was sent in January 1913 in Batavia, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Beagle wanted their son to visit his grandmother’s house a mile away. They bought 15 cents worth of stamps – which they stuck to him – and insured their “parcel” for up to $50. This postman is carrying a baby boy along with his mail.
1890.
A different day and age. Over the past decade or so, I’ve seen mention of people many years ago allegedly sending human children through the USPS, but I have no idea if it is true
It’s a sad Cursday. Our beloved granddog, Jake, passed away today. He was such a wonderful pup. He was 12 which I guess is old for a large golden doodle.
We just had him and brother,Maximus for 10 days while our kids were on vacation to Ireland. He wasn’t himself at all. On Monday he went to the vet and was found to have a large mass on his spleen, a very enlarged heart and severe anemia. Yesterday he quit eating and was sleeping most of the time.
I’ll miss him so much as will my little doggos. His Mom is beside herself trying to process everything. Praying for peace and comfort from the Lord for her.
I’m so sorry for all of you Gramadeb50. 🙏
Thank you.❤
Oh, Gramadeb
My heart is breaking with you. The pain feels like a black hole in your chest. My condolences, and to your daughter. 😢 🙏
Thank you, Corny. I was going thru my pictures of him. He was always smiling. He was such a gentle soul, all 130 pounds of him.
EVENING PRAYERS
Prayer Of Thanksgiving In The Evening
Praise Your holy name Heavenly Father, for granting yet another day in my life and for being with me every step of the way. Thank You for the many blessings that You have provided and the love and fellowship that I have with the friends and family that in Your grace You have placed in my life.
My heart is so thankful for all the many blessings that I enjoy day by day, and today I am once again reminded that Your mercies are new every morning and Your faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
Thank You, that I have been brought into Your family and have been made a child of God and a citizen of heaven. Words cannot express my love and devotion to You Lord
I pray that You would watch over me as I rest tonight, and that You would give me a restful night’s sleep so that I may wake up in the morning refreshed in body and spirit and ready to do Your will. Guard all those that I love and may we all grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in the days that lie ahead. This I ask in His precious name,
Amen.

Prayer Of Reflection On The Past Day
Loving Lord, as the day is coming to an end, I want to thank You for being with me in all that has taken place today. I also want to lay the whole day before You, asking that you would show me if there is anything that I have done to hurt or harm another person unknowingly, or if I have done anything that is displeasing in Your sight, or quenched the work of the Spirit in me, so that I may turn away from such things in the days that lie ahead.
Lord, I desire to do Your will in all things. I pray that You would cleanse me of any wrong thoughts or attitudes that may have surfaced in my heart today. Wash me in Your cleansing flood, I pray.
Thank You, that You are a God who forgives our transgressions when we are willing to confess them to You, knowing that such cleansing before You immediately draws us back into sweet fellowship with Yourself.
Give me a good night’s rest I pray, and may I rest quietly in Your loving arms in the knowledge that in Christ, I am eternally secure, due to Your amazing grace, for which I praise You. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Evening Prayer For Forgiveness
Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me through this day and Lord, forgive me for the times when I have wandered outside Your best will for me, instead of trusting You implicitly.
Thank You, that You are such a gracious Shepherd to me and that You come and rescue me even when I lose my way and stray from the path that You have laid out for me.
As I look back over today, I know Lord that there were things that I should have said and done differently, and times when I reacted in a manner that was not honouring Your holy name. Forgive me I pray, but thank You, Father, that You always faithfully prepared to gently bring me back to Yourself.
Give me a good night’s sleep I pray, knowing that there is no condemnation because I am in Christ, and may I wake up in the morning refreshed and ready to do Your will. In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.
