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 †

There is a small article in the Daily Mail this morning in which it is reported “scientists” have figured out how Jesus “pulled off” feeding the 5,000. Adding that the Biblical story “could be true”.
Wordless is how it left me…
Oh ye of little faith…🙏🏻
This is the second time in 24 hours that I have stumbled across Jesus feeding the multitudes. First from Harrison, now from you.
Guidance comes to us in so many ways. I am seeing this as guidance for me to continue on a chosen path, quite recently chosen. Not the place for details:) Just sharing that yeah, I’m paying attention, and somehow you were guided to post this, just as I was guided to read it. How cool is that? 🙂
Responding to God’s LoveHave you accepted God’s free gift of salvation?
Inexpressible gratitude 🙏🏻💕
It is so much easier to sit on the sidelines in this old fallen world, knowing with certainty it is only temporary, keeping our eyes on the prize which awaits 🙏🏻
Howdy Garrison!
Morning, bro 😘☕ We are having lunch today with Brian and Caroline and one half of the university lads Jack who has come home to vote…first time…
So I have the cement truck backed in and my trowel ready so I will look presentable. Industrial sized load!! 😂👍🏻
LOL! Afternoon, dear Bet! I’m sure lunch was great. Speaking of grands, we are so thankful that our 21 yo grandson who should have been back in Spain is still here. Valencia is where he normally resides and they’ve had torrential rains and horrible floods there. Over 200 dead with the toll climbing. I’m praying for the poor folks there but you can imagine my relief that he isn’t going until next year. the original plan was that he would leave as usual and come meet us in Eastern Europe for a week but God had a different plan, bleesed be His Holy Name.
Morning, Garrison…late this morning. Blessed be your day, dear friend 💕☕
Mornin’, dear Bet. Just got up a little bit ago myself. Little ‘Tink is sleeping in . . . . someplace so its been a slow morning. Had a great time last night passing out tons of candy from a neighbor’s porch. Halloween is a traditional kids night in our neighborhood. It was gratifying and also fun to see whole families coming. Side streets were filled bumper-t0-bumper with cars.
Families traditionally come here because our streets are safe. Costumed kids of all ages—most coming with moms and dads—were having a great and safe time . . . Caregiving got in the way of Halloween so this was my first in a long time. Really enjoyable. 🙂
It doesn’t take anything for me to start remembering our three grands nearest to us (now grown) and the neighbourhood Trick or Treating. I have been doing just that this morning…lots of wistful sighs, wondering how time, when these final days to an election which will determine if we as a nation still have a chance or whether the tombstone goes up on our Republic’s grave, slows to a second by second crawl and the years when we were walking with them, making those “mental cocktails” sped by so fast. I have no answer.
You’ve made me smile, dearest friend…what a gift.
Extra strokes for your loved and loving toe beaned companion please 💕.

Israel Update:
-There are reports that Khamenei the Supreme Leader of Iran ordered the Military to attack Israel again. The Head of the Revolutionary Guard (that is basically their Chief of Staff) said that the “response against Israel will be unimaginable”. His Deputy said something similar. There are reports that they will wait until after the US elections not to give Trump extra points.
There are also reports that it will be before the elections and there are reports that they will launch it from Iraq and not Iran to avoid retaliation on Iran.
In the last hour I also saw a report that motion in preparation for an attack is noticed.
Chief of Staff of Israel said today that if they attack again the IDF will use means that were not used before. Note: While I hope that we don’t suffer casualties to some degree I can’t avoid the thought that again God is forcing the necessary actions like happened in Gaza and Lebanon. The enemy just makes mistakes and forcing Israel to act.
If we take a mass casualty event in their attack, the blood will be on Biden who used all the pressure he could to block a proper response to the first and second attacks.
-Today we had casualties from rockets. Close to Haifa a woman and her son got killed from a rocket. They were Druze (Druze are a none Jew none Muslim community who are loyal citizens). Then in a north city area one Israeli and four Thai workers got killed from a rocket that hit their vehicle. Both incidents were in open agriculture lands. Note that Iron Dome does not intercept rockets that are projected to go to open lands.
-Following, the IDF ordered evacuation of a city Nabatyeh in South Lebanon and started bombing munitions and other Hezbollah targets. Also an evacuation order in the Shia area in Beirut.
-Secretary of US Defense Austin talked with his Israeli counterpart about : the humanitarian problem in Gaza, how to de-escalate the war in the north and how to end the war in Gaza and about the hostages. Note: Instead of talking about how to win the war they are just extending it with endless pressures. Prayers for Trump.
-About 6 drones intercepted. A few from Iraq and possibly one from Yemen too.
Iraq is releasing almost daily videos of how they send drones and missiles to Israel. At some points we will need to hit them hard. Very hard. They are an arm of Iran.
-After the IDF captured hundreds of terrorists and suspects in Jabalia north Gaza. A video of Interrogation of an UNRWA employee was released. The man describes how Hamas is “seeing their vehicles as means of defense for themselves and how they take over humanitarian aide and channel it as they wish”.
Note: We must resolve the distribution of the Aide. Who holds the food holds the people.
I know there were efforts to resolve it but I don’t know where it stands. But the problem is known. A part is that the IDF doesn’t want to be responsible for the welfare of the population and a proper replacement to Hamas was not resolved.
-After Macron from France denied Israel from participating in an important Military exhibition in France. Israel won the case in a French court. They lifted his order.
-Bibi at an Officers Course graduation ceremony:
“I do not set a target date for the end of the war, but I do set clear goals for winning the war”
“We treat the arms of the octopus and at the same time hit the head of the octopus – in Iran”
“We are changing the face of the Middle East. But to be clear – we are still in the eye of the storm.
“Great challenges are still ahead of us and I do not underestimate our enemies at all.”
“I very much appreciate the support of the USA but my policy is simple:
When possible – I say yes, but when necessary – I say no.’
-Today Lebanon reported of 100 killed. (Mostly Hezbollah).
-IDF: We destroyed about 70% of Hezbollah’s stockpiles of UAVs. (Unmanned airplanes/drones).
-In the powerful first 36 hours of the attack on Hezbollah ( a while ago) 250 airplanes attacked Hezbollah with 2,000 munitions on 1,500 targets. In addition 1,000 air attacks were done to aide the ground forces. The purpose was to prevent and reduce their capabilities and that was successful. We anticipated thousands of rockets per day and that never happened.
-Since the beginning of the war 1,300 drones were launched into Israel. 231 made it to the ground.
-The death count of this Black October soldiers and murdered civilians is at 87. RIP.
We are happy to end this month.
-In October the IDF killed 250 terrorists in Gaza who took part in the 10/7 massacre. The “black list”.
-Something about another zone. The elected Progressive government of Britain is in a deep dive. Their Prime Minister Keir Starmer has now the worst popularity in modern history of the UK. Stupidly enough the Conservatives competed with the Reform Party of Nigel Farage and so the Progressives won with only 33%. But their system gives the winner a full domination.
So the residents of “the conquered lost island” are now left with the Islamists, crushing economy, thought control and despair. And Britain has posed an arms embargo on Israel.
Just maybe it’s? Genesis 12:3 “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
God bless Israel God bless Israel. God bless Trump and make him win!
God bless the USA.
After Spending Nearly $2 Billion On Defenses Abroad, US’ Stockpile Of Key Missile Systems Reportedly Begins To Dwindle
The U.S. is running low on critical air defense missiles amid demand from allies in the Middle East and Europe.
Will the “October” surprise happen in November? God bless Israel.
What is the “October Surprise”?
Hi david,
the “october surprise” is what a u.s. politician might use as a means to ‘surprise’ the candidate (and supporters) in the opposing party.
it’s usually something meant to denigrate, and thereby bring down support and polling.
it’s usually done in october, because that way it’s close enough to election day that it sways people’s votes (in favor of the party that let out the “surprise”).
Thank you.
Conspiracy theorists on Twitter frequently refer to two different calendars, one of them being the Julian and the other is a few weeks different. I’m not sure if both the calendar dates are now inside October according to the tweeters who mention this.
I don’t follow any of them but frequently come across them in thread replies.
What I do know is that almost everyone expects all Hell to break loose no matter what the results of the election are.
……. and frankly, the violent protestors will probably find themselves swept up in mass arrests.
Just a hunch ….
So long as it’s not the interceptors of the Iran Dome we will survive. But the Military Industrial Complex is doing so much money that I doubt they will let it dwindle too low.
“I very much appreciate the support of the USA but my policy is simple:
When possible – I say yes, but when necessary – I say no.’
Stern, judicious, and crystal clear
What more could one ask from a leader?
Yes. It was the key line of his speech.
Who would have thought that Israel would receive support from this source?
Wow! What a great video! Thank you. I am stealing it.
I knew that their goal is to eliminate Israel and kill jews, not a Palestinian state. Therefore only a de-Nazification education over generation can resolve the problem if not expulsion.
😃 ❤️ 🙏 🇮🇱 David: Here is a better quality AND longer version for more details of what President Clinton revealed recently:
Huh?
Wow – thanks for sharing this! How thought provoking is that?
And speaking from behind a Harris/Walz sign podium yet – amazing!
To God Be the Glory!
❤️
1 Corinthians 16:22-24
“If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.”
It’s a sour subject for me, the shameful Jewish vote that used to be too much DNC, but I have a dream and the dream is that in the upcoming elections they will punish the DNC and we will have a historic epic scene.
It may or may not happen and I am not wishing to analyze why? But I do see some indications that it may happen this time.
We shall see. The following video may explain the subject better than I can. It’s actually one of the better videos that exist on the subject. A Jewish Progressive who changed sides explains it all. By the way the orthodox religious Jews do vote Trump.
See below link:

Quite the video, David!
May GOD’S Will be done!
BLESSINGS on Israel and America!
You too…
Thank you. God bless you!❤️
David,
I can’t thank you enough for your in-depth information.
Being a fan of old movies, I recently watched Cast a Giant Shadow released in 1962 in the US. It is about WWII hero US Col David “Mickey” Marcus who was an advisor to Ben Gurion during the 1948 period of the establishment of the state of Israel.
Marcus apparently was invaluable in formally organizing and training the early Israeli army. Tragically, he died as a result of “friendly” fire in Israel only months after accomplishing his goals.
The movie prompted me to find and read the book of the same name by Ted Berkman which, of course, is much more detailed than the movie.
Marcus was a fascinating and heroic individual, and I wondered if his story is still taught in Israeli history.
Thank you again for all you do to keep us informed with the truth.
Blessings
You’re welcome! Appreciate the validating acknowledgment.
No, I didn’t know about Colonel David Marcus , I don’t think that it is studied. But a quick search shows the story and his contribution. As a note my father also brought with him war experience from fighting Nazies in the Russian army. My father was from the founders of the Israeli Artillery. Blessings.
Amen to your dream, David!
It will have to be so for our country to recover and thrive once again. The Dems will need to be removed from where they don’t belong – from ALL their stolen seats of power.
I have faith the LORD will make it so – I’m walking by faith, not by sight. His Word promises He will never leave nor forsake us…and I believe He will restore our One Nation Under God.
Yes, there is evil over our country – but there is more of us in Him, than there are of the evil one.
Praying for God’s Blessings over Israel.
Praying for His safekeeping and protection over both our nations and over PDJT and his family.
And also for PDJT to come even closer to the LORD. Close enough to hear clearly, and heed His Guidance and Direction for and through these most important of days ahead!
Praise Him – and to God Be the Glory!
Amen!❤️

Hatikva = The Hope
As long as in the heart within,

An eye gazes toward Zion.
Our hope is not yet lost, The hope that is two-thousand years old,
To be a free nation in our land,
The Land of Zion, Jerusalem.

Trump says there are no concerts at his rallies (he doesn’t play guitar or sing either).
Know who can play (ukulele) and sing?
Tulsi…
That’s a square jawline there on ol’ Jocko if I ever seen one
He could cut Velveeta with that one
I reckon
I enjoy listening to Jocko Willink. There’s a lot to be said for what he says.
After stumbling on the audio for his book, I have it pinned on my phone and listen to it on the way to work…….often.
A lot of common sense, but concisely and aptly delivered, it is useful for daily life.
I’ve bought copies of his book and given it to young men to help themselves improve their lives.
Here is the audio if one chooses to listen. It’s lengthy, I listen to snippets at a time. Sometimes I refer to my own copy of the book.
Good stuff.
Discipline Equals Freedom.

Good Morning all.
Generator is up and operational in the automatic mode but I still have to get hooked up with the remote monitoring and control system.
For 10 months I had been using the Kaspersky Anti-virus service. It was the best out there as far as I was concerned. Russia and China have the best hackers so it makes sense that it one or the other could produce the best anti-virus software. It also provided VPN and various features for cleaning the hard drive, eliminating unwanted Apps and programs, and configuring to maximize speed.
It was by far the best anti-virus/anti-malware program I had ever used. It ate everything! But since it originated in Russia the US government first forbid it’s use in government systems and now mandated it become unavailable in the US, even for private citizens, and thus blocked any updates. An antivirus program to be effective has to constantly be updated to recognize the new viruses as they emerge. So I had my nephew over and he removed it and installed other antivirus software.
I still have electrical work to be done. The weather head, which is where the power comes from the pole to the house must be raised up higher above the roof line. That will get the cable well above the peak of the sunroom roof and away from the edge of the roof of the main part of the house. That should be done next week and when it is, since the power to the house will be off for awhile, my new generator will get a bit of a test workout as it supplies the power to the house.
I also have a new 100 amp main breaker to install since the existing one has been kicking out occasionally I just got a new one.
All is right with the world when rah is sharing the ins and outs of home repairs and operations.
God bless! 🇺🇲🙏
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❣️
Does that height also serve as a lightning rod?
No, it will still be well below the peak of the main part of the house and that roof line has three lightning rods on it.
I had Kaspersky for many years…and was very happy with i, another fluster cluck brought to you by slo Joe and the IC.
I have no doubt it has nothing to do with security and everything to do with silicon valley wanting to eliminate the competition so we have to buy their inferior products.
Aggie,
fluster cluck is useful. I need synonyms 🙂 Might I borrow that on occasion? With or without attribution 🙂
Up to you lol.
Just back from standing in line with the great unwashed! My peoples 🙂
Hot shower coffee in hand and Bannon on the box. Confident, hopeful and…
Rest easy friends!
My vote was the decider. We Win 🙂 – God Bless President Trump #47
Interesting, your mention of Kaspersky A/V software.
Back around 2007 I read several articles in software review magazines about Kaspersky’s products. Almost all the reviewers ranked Kaspersky near the top of the anti-virus / anti-malware market at that time. So I dumped my Norton product and bought the top-rated Kaspersky product
Despite my diligence, two years later my desktop was stealthily infected by a remotely-controlled “bot.” I only discovered that when my Comcast email stopped working one day. I went thru several hours of troubleshooting but was Unable to figure out why. So I finally called Comcast Tech Help line.
After some back and forth, the Tech rep told me that my email had been blocked because it was sending out SPAM emails at a rate of thousand of emails per hour. I was incredulous to say the least, but the rep would not budge from his story, and even read me my client’s outbound email stats from the past week – it was staggering. He said that Kaspersky was not as great as they had claimed and that he had found very few A/V programs that could stop everything that was targeted at Windows PCs.
So he had me change the default comms port numbers that my email client was using, and that solved the problem for the moment.
But I was quite disappointed at Kaspersky and Windows’ vulnerability, and 24 hours later I bought an Apple MacBook Pro laptop for myself and my wife. We’ve not had a virus or malware problem since switching systems.

Awesome Ray Pohlman. We didn’t have anything to do with Crosby until 65!
That one from 64. Lemme guess. He was still managed by Jim Dickson and that recording was made at World Pacific Studios where Dickson had the keys and on off hours.
The Byrds first took flight. Remind me one day to tell the story of nearly drowning of Dickson’s boat in the harbor moored on Catalina Island. Crosby on board ( he did love his sailboats ) Cpl other Byrds and they tell me I had a guardian or parent there also in life I mean!.. I’ve been told?! I had parents and/or guardians. I’m not so sure.
we hit a squall and they stuffed me below deck. I must have been 9 or 10? We made it back to Marina Del Rey. Whatta day
You went deep today! Didn’t recognize even a one until Jimmy Black of Mothers.
I still wouldn’t know him if I heard him.
But here’s some Zappa trivia ( coffee heh ). My family couldn’t get him a record deal in 65/66, ( immortalized in print on the back of their first LP ) Produced by my ol pal Tom Wilson ( Bob Dylan’s best records also and the early Simon & Garfunkel HITS ) but I digress.
Zappa had bought the Log Cabin at Lookout Mtn and Laurel Cyn Blvd ( house was a hunting lodge first built for silent movie cowboy star Tom Mix ( it had a bowling alley with hand operated pins! )..
anyway.. I lived maybe ten houses up the street and hungout at Zappa’s cavernous open door house ( the stories are Legendary 🙂 and when I was 16 I had an old chevy pickup truck and I started a company in Zappa’s basement ( next to the bowling lane! ) and the company went National after some years and I made money.
Thing other things I did at Frank Zappa’s house from roughly 68 (ish) to maybe 72/73 or so, I cannot discuss publicly lol.
By then Zappa abandoned the house and moved up the street with the rich folks on Woodrow Wilson Drive X Mulholland Drive.
This stuff happens and I apologize. I’m feeding the borg with this stuff and govt agencies so they are certain it’s ME 🙂
Since Bob was 20 minutes from my home(s) for 40+ years & knew one my brothers & got references from him, figured I would post this.
01 November 2023 Bob Knight, American College Basketball HOF coach (Indiana University, 1971-2000 – NCAA Division I C’ship 1976, 81, 87; Olympic gold 1984; Army; Texas Tech), dies at 83
I was attending IU in Bloomington when IU went undefeated NCAA champs. The student tickets were broken down into 3 lots. A student could only get one lot or IOW tickets for 1/3 of the home games. I lived on the first floor of McNutt Quad. It was a Co-ed dorm with men on one floor girls on the next then men on the next floor etc. My girl friend lived on the 2nd floor. Every time there was a home game that I didn’t have a ticket to my girl friend found some friend the her floor that had a ticket but wasn’t going to the game and I got it. So I saw every home game.
Kent Benson, the starting center on that team was from New Castle and lived in McNutt Quad. We would sometimes eat in the Cafeteria together.
One morning I happened to be in the old Football stadium for some reason. Can’t remember why I was there but Knight and the team were there. He had them running the lines on the old grass football field. Start at and end zone line run to the 5 yd line and back to the end zone line and then to the 10 yard line and back to the end zone line etc.. He had them doing that the entire length of the field!
I’ll be a Bobby Knight admirer and fan forever!

Remember the potted plant fiasco
from an espn article around the time of the fiasco
“The investigation also turned up details of another Knight tantrum against Hartgraves in the late 1980s, when Ralph Floyd was athletics director.Then, Knight flung a potted plant against a wall, shattering the ceramic pot and a glass picture frame, Hartgraves said. She was hit by pieces of glass and debris, but was not injured.
Like they say, you either Love him or Hate him. No potted plant trival episode will sway people like me. IU is was and is very liberal by Hoosiers standards and I have no doubt that Knight locked horns several times with the leftist types that prevail there.
I met him and his wife once. I made a joke about the chair throwing incident and then apologized profusely for my impertinence. He forgave me, invited me to sit down with them, and we had a long visit. His character and decency and honor shone through. I think we connected. In any case, he sent me a Texas Tech basketball shirt to memorialize the occasion. Nothing negative about Bobby Knight will ever fly with me.
Even I know who Bobby Knight is! 🙂

Brother Lawrence translated from French by Marshall Davis in “The Practice of the Presence of God” 2013
We are to practice honoring God and His Glory in everything that we do and say. This is our goal: to offer to God a sacrifice of perfect worship in this life and throughout eternity. We should firmly resolve to overcome every difficulty that we encounter in reaching this goal by the grace of God.
Cherished booklet; my copy is from 1958!
from the back cover:
“Brother Lawrence was a humble man who followed the direct path to communion with God. For him, there was no distinction between a time of business and a time of worship. He felt the presence of God whether he was working in his kitchen or worshipping in his church. This letter record of the mind and heart of a man who saw God in all things is meant to serve as an inspiration and guide for all those who seek true and constant communication with their Creator.”
Fundamental truths:

Hi rah! Reminds me of the motto, A patient cured is a customer lost.
Took a family member to a neurosurgeon this morning who is already diagnosed with tumors on the brain, (cancer) but family wanted “more”. All going well until I informed him that surgery was out of the question, on specific request of the “patient”(72 year old). His “caring” and “apathy” (just for a second or two) dropped noticeably when the half a Mil (plus -minus) and counting was off the table. Suddenly we’re back to the take a …… in the morning and come back to me when you can afford it. Regrettably I have lost all faith in the medical world. O there must still be those Angles around who actually heal, but for the most part they are merely highly trained drug pushers, and all is dependent on the depth of your pocket and fear of death. Actually healing somebody with simple good common sense, holistically, is probably deemed a medical industry crime.
I think that’s why they came up with “standard of care”.
Oldspeak, I just learned that a close in-law has been diagnosed similar to your family member.
The multi-billion dollar cancer treatment industry is mostly a disgusting scam.

He who created the heavens and the earth can settle an uneasy soul.

Simply beautiful, Dan.
Yes, even now, God is on His throne, ruling over everything.
All will be well.

Verse of the Day for Friday, November 1, 2024
✟
“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,”
1 Thessalonians 5:9 (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.

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.

1 Thessalonians Chapter 5 (KJV)
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
16 Rejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
25 Brethren, pray for us.
26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. (The first epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens.)
________________________
SANCTIFY ME, OH LORD
You are the Rock of Salvation, Lord;
Sanctified are we by Your Holy Word;
Cleansed by the Spirit – filled with Your Grace;
Obedient to Your gospel – our sins You erase!
If we are suffering by our own hand;
He is asking us – to please take a stand;
Hide not our sins from His strict scrutiny
Ignoring His truth will backfire on me!
The foundation of sanctification you see;
Is our belief in Christ Jesus who died for thee;
It is the spiritual manifestation of the divine;
Brought to fruition through David’s bloodline!
The natural union of believer and non;
Will lead to conversion and good things beyond;
It is not prudent – then – to separate the two;
Believing husbands or wives can sanctify you!
Sanctify Me, Oh Lord – by heavenly grace;
Cleanse Me, Oh Lord – by Your Spirit replace;
All worldly ambitions – and pompous pride;
Sanctify Me, Oh Lord – deep down inside!
Strengthen Me, Lord – by the power of Your Word;
Clarify this worldly fixation that is blurred;
My obedience to Your Word is barely there;
I find no inspiration – anywhere!
I am lost in the world and not the Word;
My business fails – stability unfurled;
I run around here and there – making a stop;
With no time to linger – just go till I drop!
I pray in my heart – You will bless me someday;
If I can just get the world – out of the way;
Go home to my mate – pray together for peace;
For all of this turmoil to finally cease!
Sanctify Me, Oh Lord – oh please hear my cry;
I don’t need to know the what, when or why;
Just know in my heart – I am longing for be;
Sanctified by Your Word – a servant of Thee!

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️❤️❤️
All Saints’ Day (from Meditations of the Collects):
“O Almighty God, who hast kept together thine elect in one communion and fellowship, in the mystical body of thy Son Christ our Lord; grant us grace so to follow thy blessed Saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those unspeakable joys, which thou hast prepared for them that unfeignedly love thee; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
“Keynote: The Comradeship of the Path. There have gone before us by the Way of the Cross an innumerable company of men and women; and we, if we too be following the Master, are of their fellowship.
“This comradeship upon the Path is very precious to us in the Christian communion, for it gives us assurance that our efforts are not in vain, for others have won to the heights towards which we are striving. We have dreamed no idle dream, for upon the summit we can see the figures of those who have gone before us.
“As they have achieved, even so can we achieve if we are prepared to pay the price that they paid. And even if that be beyond our spiritual means, nevertheless, if we give but a cup of cold water to Christ’s little ones, we shall in no wise lack our reward. All who tread in His footsteps are on the Path, and are comrades.
“There is nothing that can befall us upon the Path which they have not known before us. Its stones and its steep places are all known to them. When we are in doubt as to the way, or are mindful to turn back, let us take counsel with them and see how they met and overcame the problems that are besetting us. What one has done, another can do. We have no excuse for turning back if we can see imprinted upon the Path the footsteps of those who have gone before. Where they have gone, we can go, if we have the courage, for the source of their strength is available for us also; and at the end of the journey, Christ awaits us, to say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
Happy All Saints’ Day, may we each in our way be strengthened in our steps going forward.
Was pleased that Mass was quite crowded earlier this morning.
holy day of obligation
our mass was the same today cobra
Good
I heard that some of the American media are going crazy about the huge “Israelis for Trump” billboards in Tel Aviv.
This is excellent. David. Israel is such a beautiful country. I visited quite a few years ago before I was married with kids.
I want to take them for a trip sometime to see Israel. My 14 year old son is extremely bright. He has mentioned that he would love to join the IAF. I don’t know about today, but when I visited I tried to find ways to join the IDF. It is impossible unless you can demonstrate Jewish lineage.
It wearies me to hear of so many American who don’t bother to vote. Such a waste of what good men sacrificed so much to protect.

PROPHETIC WORD:
JGM – LIVE WITH JULIE – [1 November 2024]
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Read Psalms – about the struggles of David and how he encouraged himself in the Lord
Ps 41:11…By this I know that You favour and delight in me because my enemy does not triumph over me.
They never triumph over me.
No. Never. This I know my enemies do not triumph over me. It’s because of God’s favour and because He delights in us….our enemies never triumph over me.
Ps 18:48…who delivers Me from my enemies. Yes You lift me up above those who rise up against me.
If God’s children only knew the heart and will of God…He is going to rise you up against those who rise up against you … .God hears the cries of His people. God’s people have to know He does care about what happens in your nations, your bodies, your minds. He cares about all the afflictions, tests and trials…HE CARES ABOUT YOUR ENDING [Jer 29:11 – you have hope in your final outcome].
PROPHETIC WORD – THE DNC WILL ERUPT IN SCANDALS AND BE COMPLETELY EXPOSED
[Word heard – 28 October 2024]
My children, your cries and your prayers have been heard in heaven. My Word promises that I hear the cries of My people and I also that I said I will deliver you out of it all. I’m the Deliverer you can count on. I am bringing you out from among your enemies and their control. I’m destroying their system that held and enslaved you.
My United States and Israel will not stay in the condition you see them in now. No, I’m restoring their fortunes, their freedoms, and all that belongs to them. I have appointed leaders of these nations to bring forth My will and My plans upon this earth for all nations. I’ve told you President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu will be hand-in-hand working together to bring out My plans that I have for this time and for the nation. That’s why your enemies have tried to take them both out along with total devastation to both countries. Evil plans have been and are still being plotted for the death and destruction of My United States.

I was playin with plants
Diggin in the dirt
And what did I see
In the pot

And an orange butterfly
Then out the corner
Of my eye
Up in the sky
A bald eagle
Flyin over the lake
A pic I wanted to take

Posted in the other daily thread as well: Who all is praying about this election? I think that we need a specific prayer thread. The cheat is massive and we have “put our hand to the plow” doing what we can physically but we obviously need divine intervention. I think that we should include in our prayers that God convicts the hearts and minds of the cheaters themselves. Remember: “The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.” We need to ask God to turn these people’s hearts and minds to not do this despicable cheating. (PS: Fasting won’t hurt either).
I feel I am becoming a zealot. Necessarily.

BREAKING: ACLJ Just Filed to Take Down Jack Smith
Streamed live 3 hours ago Sekulow (Full Broadcast)
The ACLJ is fighting back against the far Left’s blatant interference in the 2024 presidential election between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. We just filed an amicus brief at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to argue that Special Counsel Jack Smith should be disqualified from his political prosecution of President Trump. The Sekulow team discusses the ACLJ’s brief at the 11th Circuit, our ongoing fight at the U.S. Supreme Court to defend election integrity, the latest election polls, the economy/inflation – and much more.
God Bless Sekulow and their efforts. They’ve been behind POTUS and tireless in their efforts.
Battling against lawfare must be daunting – and they have not stopped!

I had to have my computer repaired almost 3 months ago… and as with every building/repair job, there was a choice to make between fast/good/cheap. One can have 2 of those but never all three; I chose good & cheap so it was not fast. Three months later I’m testing it out. There are a couple minor bugs/adjustments to remedy but I’m connected again. I’ve been strictly in observer mode – reading on an old device but was unable to see videos, most pictures, and no posting/commenting.
So… the French architecture restorations I’ve been following in recent years have made much progress over these weeks so I’ll pick up sharing somewhere near where I left off.
This is the chapel of St. Joseph at Chateau de LaLande built in 1863 by the family who owned the chateau for several generations before that; they built this chapel in honor of their child who died very young, and both the architectural and decorative restoration craftspeople (who have all worked also on the current Parisian Norte Dame restoration, so world-class artisans with lifetimes of experience) have made it clear this one is a unique example of extremely good design and lavish decoration. The work is now nearing completion, but skipping ahead would take some of the fun out of watching it unfold (I admit I have binge-watched this to present time). The restoration all in will exceed a half million Euros for this tiny jewel box of a private chapel.
If not queued to 12:30 as I intended, just advance to that timestamp so as to skip the daily goings on elsewhere around the chateau
NEXT
Restoration/renovation of Chateau du Chamont
“… the journey of the restoration and renovation of This amazing abandoned château ruin, built by a Russian industrialists and an up and coming Parisian singer, host to hundreds of Jewish children during the holocauste, owned indirectly by coco Chanel and burnt down in the late 1980’s . A long journey tackled by one man…” (and a few very skilled helpers here & there)
The rebuilding/restoration of these old places (not far from each other in rural France) is uplifting (to me anyway, some here have agreed) – with admiration & respect for a time when things were built to last hundreds of years (without computers or modern power tools), by what was once state of the art construction & decoration techniques, which is now historically significant and worthy of saving & reviving for future generations. It seems an apt metaphor for the theme of the times we are experiencing here too; vision forward.
Stuff worth doing gets done by envisioning the outcome, team effort and bit by bit.
Advance to 43 sec for an introduction bio of the gilder working on the chapel at LaLande – a very unique job/skill and a very unique man who shows how it’s been done for literally hundreds of years.
4 min.
Same gentleman is also restoring the silver gilding in this chapel with palladium, which will not tarnish and is more expensive, by weight, than gold. Oooh-la-la-la-la.
