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 †

Come Jesus Come
Sometimes I fall to my knees and pray
Come, Jesus, come
Let today be the day
Sometimes I feel like I’m gonna break
But I’m holding on
To a hope that won’t fade
Come, Jesus, come
We’ve been waiting so long
For the day You return
To heal every hurt and right every wrong
We need You right now
Come and turn this around
Deep down I know this world isn’t home
Come, Jesus, come
There’ll be no war
And there’ll be no chains
When Jesus comes
Let today be the day
He’ll come for the weak
And the strong just the same
And all will believe in the power of His name
Come, Jesus, come
We’ve been waiting so long
For the day You return
To heal every hurt and right every wrong
We need You right now
(Come and turn this around) turn this around
Deep down I know this world isn’t home
Come, Jesus, come
Come, Jesus, come
One day He’ll come
And we’ll stand face to face
Come and lay it all down
‘Cause it might be today
The time is right now
There’s no need to wait
Your past will be washed by rivers of grace
Come, Jesus, come
We’ve been waiting so long
For the day You return
To heal every hurt and right every wrong
We need You right now
(Come and turn this around) turn this around
Deep down I know this world isn’t home
Come, Jesus, come
Come, Jesus, come
Come, Jesus, come
A wonderful album very few people heard or knew about… great songs and lyrics
“Shatner … I’d fight Shatner …”
“So we say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?”
Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” – Hebrews 13: 6-8
“Same God”
This is our customary Treeper Church Sunday benediction. We post it here as a way of inviting our friends and visitors to experience the soulful experience of solace. This is intentionally a quiet place. We hope the presence of Our Lord will inspire a little faith. Our Lord loves us and want’s us to be a part of His Family. All it takes to do this is our personal acceptance of Him. Do this and you are in . . .
Thank, Garrison.. my Sunday morning is now complete

good morning Garrison thank you for the wonderful music. Amen. PEACE

Afternoon, love. You’re most welcome. 🙂
I love that Wayfaring Stranger hymn… this rendition is excellent.
Thought so, too 🙂
Is it just me, or do all of those female classical guitarists appear to be very attractive? I wonder if there is some biological connection between musical talent and good genes. Well, there could be!
<laughing> Or . . . more likely some guys running a guitar shop in Germany simply recognized that choosing attractive, very talented female guitarists tends to attract lots more on-line attention than other possible choices? I take it you are not in business? 🙂
Well, that does make sense, probably, I guess.
🙂
Marketing and advertising, both different concepts but go hand in hand.
Agreed 🙂

Great choices, Garrison. I’ve always thought Linda Ronstadt was born a few years later than she should have been.. her voice fits so well into the style of the 40s and 50s
For a Ariz. girl, she had excellent musical taste, far better, especially for those times, than most of her peers. 🙂
A reminder of the real situation as it is in the US. This should make it all the way to Trump. Share.
https://rumble.com/v5j4jnh-hard-to-digest.-the-pro-palestinian-movement-attack-on-the-us..html
They are here because we allow them to be here. If they threaten us, a well-armed America will quite easily take care of the problem. There is a reason we have a 2nd Amendment, 400 million privately owned firearms, along with 20 plus million AR 15 and AK pattern rifles. And, because of our many wars, we now have a sizable population of armed, combat experienced, former soldiers, many of who will happily defend their homes and neighborhoods against armed intruders.
You have a major advantage. But the danger is more insidious. In Europe a brainwash was used by the media and education to accept the situation and even encourage it. If you oppose you could be jailed for the most absurd things. So long as Trump and republicans are in power it is relatively good. I pray that you will not have the Democrats back in after Trump. Israel too will be in trouble if that happens. Love. God Bless the USA.
We have academia and silent media who calls riots “mostly peaceful protests”. Many people have woken up to the brainwashing they are paying for. We’ve got a big problem because we are a vast nation and they creep in and multiply without much notice. Rubio is trying and Laura Loomer is bringing attention to NGO’s still funded bringing them in. Congress needs to shut off the money spicket and foreign money should be seized.
who calls riots “mostly peaceful protests”
yeah, and mob beatdowns and sucker-punch attacks “fights”
People need a reminder to read “The Prince” by Niccolo Machiavelli. All by design. The book is only 100 pages of very easy reading – but there are those who don’t WANT you to read it.
“plant colonies in one or two of those places which form as it were the keys of the land, for it is necessary either to do this or to maintain a large force of armed men. The colonies will cost the prince little; with little or no expense on his part, he can send and maintain them; he only injures those whose lands and houses are taken to give to the new inhabitants, and these form but a small proportion of the state, and those who are injured, remaining poor and scattered, can never do any harm to him, and all the others are, on the one hand, not injured and therefore easily pacified; and, on the other, are fearful of offending lest they should be treated like those who have been dispossessed of their property.” pgs 5 and 6 – written in 1532 by Niccolo Machiavelli
David: The same brainwashing in Europe is ongoing in the US, and America’s demographics are being physically changed to eliminate Jewish influence. Israel needs to accept this reality and fortify its position. This means asserting sovereignity over Judea, Samaria, Gaza, and the strategically important approachways on the Hermon.
Also, Israel should make it easier for Jews to make Aliyah. Right now, doing so is an intimidating, confusing, bureaucratic process.
yep, and deport any Muslim who does not support the State of Israel. Make them acknowledge support and allegiance for the Jewish state. Democracy is desirable, but common-sense is needed to keep the nation. The United States should make the same efforts to preserve our nation. We build prisons for those who break the laws. I don’t believe we have a law that supports those who hate the USA. If we do, now is a good time to change it.
The Israeli and American Left is the same sort of trash. These folks are not exercising “free speech” but rather treasonous behavior. Gaza has nothing to offer men and women of wisdom. Our Creator gave us freewill as His imagebearers. Angels have freewill and a third rebelled. Methinks a great number of mankind, whose behavior evidences control by demonic beings, have freely chosen the wrong path. I will add, Israel has the opportunity to use force as it is intended by our Creator, and I believe for the most part they are displaying supernatural wisdom and guidance in their effort to crush evil. God Bless Israel.
I constantly ask “why are the descendants of Our Founding Fathers”, so very quiet about the trashing and the attempts to politically take over America?
The relatives of those who pledged their Lives, Fortunes, and Sacred Honor…
Muslim politics, despite being so noisy, are simply not a part of the American body-politic. In most people’s minds they simply
don’t matter very much . . . if at all.
Well G… blessed evening to you. You mention they don’t matter, but then they take up residency and instate “no go” zones. A reality here in the Midwest.
Their international headquarters broo-ha-ha is here in Plainfield right next to our airport.
Now the feds are setting up an internment center for illegals at Camp Atterbury in that region, near Bloomington.
What could possibly go wrong?
They are slowly becoming relevant, and that is what is concerning. Little by little…they are testing the waters near Dallas and Orlando. Minnesota is a lost cause I am thinking.
The people are blind telling me they don’t count, don’t do nothing, aren’t a problem from that area.
Am half way thru the video, its intense for sure.

The best cat I ever had wandered in to the bowling alley at one in the morning when it was about ten below zero. His ears and part of his tail had been froze off. The vet said he had been well taken care of before this as he had teeth extracted and surgeries. We looked for an owner but one never appeared, so we named him Lucky and kept him. He still had his claws but never scratched in the house. The most loving cat I ever had. I also had a cat I called ‘Jenny the psycho cat from hell”, which was an apt name for her.
Unlike a lot of people, I love both cats and dogs.
I also like both, but unfortunately I am seriously allergic to cats. My last dog was put down several years ago at the ripe old age of 16. At my age there won’t be any more.
My current dog has about 6-8 years left, I don’t know if I have that many years left so this is my last pet. I worry about this one, I got him when I retired so have spent the most time with him so he is the most attached pet to me. I hope he goes first because of that. The neighbors say he mopes in the yard whenever I am gone, even for a short time. (I have an underground fence).
As I muddle thru the comments on TGP and the article about The Turnpike crash near my ‘hood…2/3 of the way thru the comments and NOT one in favor of softening the charges or punishment, in fact the exact opposite.
One commenter surmised that the perp would use lack of linguistic skills as a defense…
Is the EO in effect? Mr. Duffy needs to put the ‘pedal to the metal’ so to speak, if not.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE
Verse of the Day for Sunday, August 17, 2025
✟
“Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?”
Luke 12:24 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR LUKE 12
“Christ reproves the interpreters of the law. (1-12) A caution against covetousness The parable of the rich man. (13-21) Worldly care reproved. (22-40) Watchfulness enforced. (41-53) A warning to be reconciled to God.” (54-59)
(22-40) “Christ largely insisted upon this caution not to give way to disquieting, perplexing cares, #Mt 6:25-34|. The arguments here used are for our encouragement to cast our care upon God, which is the right way to get ease. As in our stature, so in our state, it is our wisdom to take it as it is. An eager, anxious pursuit of the things of this world, even necessary things, ill becomes the disciples of Christ. Fears must not prevail; when we frighten ourselves with thoughts of evil to come, and put ourselves upon needless cares how to avoid it. If we value the beauty of holiness, we shall not crave the luxuries of life. Let us then examine whether we belong to this little flock. Christ is our Master, and we are his servants; not only working servants, but waiting servants. We must be as men that wait for their lord, that sit up while he stays out late, to be ready to receive him. In this Christ alluded to his own ascension to heaven, his coming to call his people to him by death, and his return to judge the world. We are uncertain as to the time of his coming to us, we should therefore be always ready. If men thus take care of their houses, let us be thus wise for our souls. Be ye therefore ready also; as ready as the good man of the house would be, if he knew at what hour the thief would come.”
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ABUSED, MISSING, AND TRAFFICKED CHILDREN
BE MY VOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN
CHILD NOT CHOICE
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
WHO AM I
Who am I that God cares for me
Who is it I am supposed to be
What is it I am called to do
What makes me so worthy of You
Have you ever pondered God
Have you ever wondered broad
Have you ever concentrated
Have you ever contemplated – God
Did you know that you are blessed
With gifts and talents and zest
Have you ever considered why
You are the apple of God’s eye
We have jobs, titles, and responsibilities
Accountabilities acceptabilities permeabilities
No matter how confusing it all may be
God has a purpose and plan for thee
When guided by the Holy Spirit
We are inspired if we can hear it
The voice of God from within
Where to go when to begin
We believe and we receive
Thus we are able to achieve
Because God wills it all for us
We obey – He gives us the plus
We are here on an eternal quest
On our pathway we are but a guest
This life is our test to be worthy
For where we will end this journey
Have you ever been asked
To do something over tasked
Impossible for you but not for Him
God did not choose you on a whim
God knows the beginning and the end
It is your free will that may not bend
To His Will we must be fully aware
Only way to know is through prayer
Whatever He asks of you on cue
You must be willing and able to do
You must obey His daily demand
It is not a wish – it is a command
So if you are daily thinking
How to God’s plan you be linking
Listen to what the Spirit asks of you
Then you will know just what to do
If failure plagues you – anxiety too
If life in general is making you blue
If you are lost without a compass
Get off your bum kick up a rumpus
The trick to making the duress stop
Is to get up and move till you plop
Override the mental with exercise
Be not fearful – just be otherwise
God has a remedy for whatever ails you
Tap into His Spirit – sit not and just stew
For greater is He who lives within
Than he whose goal is to mire in sin
Know that God wants only what is best
For you to successfully complete the test
Develop those gifts and talents for your story
Give Him the effort He deserves for His Glory

Cancelled News – Trump Protester Weaponizes Subway Sandwich! (4:02)
Adam Yenser

“Ashley Biden announced that after 13 years, she and her husband are getting divorced. Joe Biden said he’s sad to see his daughter’s marriage end this way and still remembers all the fun they had during her shower.”
Boycott is the most powerful weapon We The People have against predatory “business”

{ https://revolver.news/2025/08/beyond-meat-is-beyond-screwed/ }
God morning to all,
I am not writing today from my personal heart – it is on full display on the Prayer Thread. What I offer today is insight into the minds of Central Indiana politicians, as I attended the Lincoln Lawn Party at Indiana State Comptroller’s house, Elise Nieshalla. I have mentioned before, that we grow more than corn in Indiana – we grow corrupt politicians. We are the likes who gave you: Ron Klain, Mike Pence, Amy Comey-Barrett, and a slew of others who have done great harm to our Republic.
I want to share with you what I learned:
The State of Indiana is being recognized as #3 in the nation for fiscal responsibility.
Congressmen (and women) Rudy Yakim (who stepped into the seat of Jackie Walorski after her tragic and untimely death), Victoria Spartz, and Erin Houchin were in attendance as were a myriad of the power players in the State of Indiana. Many, too, were noticeably absent as “representatives” were sent in their stead. (The LIV golf championship is being held simultaneously here at Chatham Hills, so many are in attendance there for it’s high profile nature.)
I met a man who I will keep unnamed here for his anonymity. His wife works for Governor Braun, but they are also good personal friends of his and Braun stays at their home when he visits a certain part of our State. G.M. (initials) told me that Braun is a good man, but he is being hamstrung by “them” who are impeding his ability to do his job. If they would “allow him to do his job”, he has plans for great leadership of our State and he is a good man. I believe this. I believe Mike Braun is MAGA and a good man. He was one of the three or four people who were going to openly contest the 2020 election findings on January 6th, but he was prevented from doing so by Mike Pence and the others who thwarted the efforts of the constituency to bring forth their concerns over the electoral college vote due to election irregularities. Those three legislators were: Mike Braun (Indiana), Ted Cruz (Texas), and Josh Hawley (Missouri).
There is a group of legislators for the states – a committee – called “ALEC” AMERICAN LEGISLATIVE EXCHANGE COUNCIL. https://alec.org/ Elise Nieshalla drew attention to a referendum that was passed on behalf of the State of Indiana and added to our State Constitution to insist on balanced budgets at the State level. She encouraged that ALEC also review and adopt this for its member legislators. (I’m not sure if it’s called a “referendum” but its number is “51” and I am researching to find this online.) Each of us is in debt $107,000 per person due to mismanagement and runaway spending by the Federal government. Elise took that Indiana referendum to ALEC (who Indiana Rep. Jim Baird formerly chaired) and there is currently a push for all 50 states to adopt this referendum and push it to the Federal government. This is one of the first referendums to receive unanimous support from ALEC representatives. I have enrolled myself in their newsletters – I would encourage of you in your own states to also enroll – let’s see what these leaders of our legislatures have in mind. This group seems to be modifying their respective states’ Constitutions. We should learn and know who they are. https://alec.org/model-policy/
I like Elise Nieshalla. I love her Mom, Cindy Noe who is a former Representative with the Indiana house and who valiantly went after the pedophilia ring run through the Alfred Kinsey Institute at IU Bloomington. Not much is spoken about Cindy and her dear friend (RIP) Dr. Judith Reisman – who it is believed succumbed to side effects from the Covid “vaccine”. Cindy can lead a prayer like nobody’s business and she is a dear, dear woman. I had no idea – because I am geographically impaired – but it turns out the Nieshallas are the next door neighbors to my dear new friend Karen, who I adopted the barn kittens from. My world keeps getting smaller and smaller.
I am no one of prestige, affluence, or influence. I have been privileged (cursed) to see and witness things at the political level that make my skin crawl. This is a SPIRITUAL BATTLE between good and evil and I, out of obedience, attended this function to seek out a venture capitalist who owns my current business and there are ninety souls suffering and the dealership is being driven into the ground. I had this “save the date” invitation for around 2 months – but only last weekend learned that the VC was a major sponsor – so try I did. I was unable to find the Hagemans to try to organize an off-site meeting.
So, too… my daughter is in danger. She has been swept away in the lies and the lure of the internet and is now in the presence of a male who I knew as trouble back in 2022. I actually recorded his information, phone, email address, name back in 2022 because of his deep manipulation of my daughter. She is gone to me. I had to draw the line with the lying and the dangerous online activity with sexual predators and this creep and I no longer can, nor will, enable her. As for me and my house, we will serve The Lord – to the point of my own death – if God so chooses that it will come to that.
I am in deep, deep mourning. But I attended this Lincoln Lawn Party to try to represent the 90 souls I work with and advocate for an investigation of business practices under the whistleblower laws here in the State of Indiana. I am not deceived to know – that “laws” only apply to some and not to all – so I realize the great danger that I am in, too. But, I have to TRY.
I am arranging to meet with a local woman whose child was deeply abused in the public school system. We are going to meet and I am going to pray that this group of two will grow – and we will be able to find other parents who, too, are suffering the great losses to their children due to this demonic system. And as God is my witness, I will fight it with everything I have to protect our kids.
I do not know why I am here… and why I have been drawn to suffer the likes of Job in the Bible… but I am willing. Here I am, Lord, send me.
I appreciate your prayers and beg you forgive my absence. I am in pretty constant contact with Aggiegirl and she’s been a tremendous support to me as I go through this uncharted water through a terrible storm.
I will not give up. My love and prayers to you, Treeper friends.
My prayers are many towards those who are suffering right now… Rob and Sherry, Burro, Betsy’s son in law (Brian), and the many others. I have not forgotten you in my prayers as I petition before God.
Former Representative Cindy Noe has offered me a follow up meeting with her. She has no idea it is on behalf of my work with two major equipment dealers here in Central Indiana on behalf of the 90 souls there. I will be praying on that…. or if I will just send the Hagemans a letter anonymously. But we all know “anonymous” isn’t as legitimate than a name and face of someone who is willing to stand up against tyranny.
I have several coworkers who are in deep prayer, all coming to me to voice their concerns because of my proximity and willingness to listen, and many veteran employees who are amazing people who are being pushed out… and we would be losing their deep industry knowledge. Their careers, contributions, and reputations are being trashed – and they are afraid to speak out.
I am not. I guess those powers that
beseem, should be worried more about those of us with nothing left to lose.I do know from my bookkeeping background that there are times VC’s actually benefit tax-wise from failing ventures – but I can’t imagine that with the visibility of these two equipment dealers and their potential for greatness – that this is a sacrificial business. The executive team is corrupt and evil and they hate their employees. I pray for turnaround.
Oh – I am so IRRITATED. Ad Rem, if you could be so kind??? I had formatting here, bullet points, for the items I witnessed – and they all disappeared making my posting so hard to read.
JWoo: Bullet points and numbered lists never work for me on CTH.
So frustrating. I tried to make it easier on the eyes. So sorry the formatting didn’t hold.
Hope you are well, Bill.
I find that a dash will do as a bullet
Thanks Idaho… seems even the spacing gets all messed up. Using the Brave browser and I try to edit… but to no avail. Sigh.
I hope some of the message gets through so we can all track what the little mini governments are up to.
I have a little prediction… I think they’re going to nullify the Presidency in full and run the country by committee. Why else are so many localities making deals with sister cities all over the world and negotiating economic development.
I thought localities weren’t supposed to enter into foreign treaties… yet here we are, especially in the Beverly Hills of The Midwest, Carmel, Indiana.
But the real wheeler dealers are in Fort Wayne… in a clandestine sort of way.
I do so wish that some of these politicians served in humility and earnest. We need good, brave leadership.
Sorry I’m late to this Woo…I was out for most of yesterday. 🙁
Special formatting never works in the comments sections—not even for moi. It only works when we are writing and editing posts. Sorry, this much be most frustrating. 🙁
Woo,
I feel your presence
in the absence of your posting.
-every day, girl❣️

That’s very kind, my good friend, Patience. I love you very much and send prayers your way.

A Pastor at an inner city, Spirit-led, missionary church in urban Indianapolis shared some good words as he started his first in a series of three sermons on healing:
With your words, you are either an “Ambassador” or an “Assassin” – and it’s important to know the difference. Are you an ambassador of God or an assassin aiding the cause of the evil one. – Adam Tallent
I was so emboldened and encouraged at the number of young people there – Savannah’s age if not a bit older – who are studying medicine and are great followers of Christ – seeking to heal not only body, but mind, and Spirt. God is moving mightily in our youth. Whoa.
Peace and Tranquility Prayers
Prayer for a Calm Heart
Lord of Peace, as evening falls, I seek the calmness only You can provide. Quell the storms of my mind and replace anxiety with Your peace. As the world quiets down, let my heart do the same. May Your presence envelop me so that I may know tranquility tonight and always. Amen.
Serenity at Day’s End
Heavenly Father, with the closing of this day, I ask for serenity. As the night sky displays its vast beauty, let my soul mirror its peacefulness. Help me to let go of the worries of the day and trust in Your loving care. May Your peace reign in my heart and home tonight. Amen.
Prayer for Restful Stillness
Dear God, in the stillness of this evening, I come to You seeking rest for my soul. Help me to lay down the burdens I’ve carried today and find comfort in Your arms. Grant me peace that passes understanding and a rest that restores my spirit. May my sleep be undisturbed and my dreams be sweet. Amen.
Nighttime Whisper for Peace
Creator of All, as I listen to the night’s gentle whisper, I ask for peace to settle over me. Let Your tranquility wash away the noise of the day. In this quiet hour, I lean on Your promise of peace, a heavenly balm to my weary soul. Keep me in perfect peace as I keep my mind stayed on You. Amen.
Prayer for Gentle Rest
Omnipotent and Gentle Lord, at the end of this day, I seek the gentle rest that You so lovingly provide. May my mind be at ease, my body relax, and my spirit find harmony. Help me to release every concern into Your capable hands and sleep in the assurance of Your protection and peace. Amen.
I committed the “cardinal sin” of trying to purchase vegetables today at the grocery store using cash. I had three things, but had to forego the 5 items or less line because it was “credit or debit card only”. Then went to the self-check for us losers who pay cash and the “system” required attendant assistance after scanning my first item; a red onion. The young buck had to come over and reset the scanner so I could scan my two English cucumbers.
I thanked him for the “permission” to buy vegetables. How ridiculous. And how many people lost their jobs so that we can now do the honor of self-checking our groceries? I wonder, too, how much theft takes place in the self-checkers especially since I practically got “frisked” for buying an onion. The kid had to do a “video replay”… what? To confirm I placed the onion in the plastic bag carousel next to me after I scanned it.
The single red onion was over $2, by the way and my total order came in right under $5 – for one onion and two cucumbers. I do look like a suburban terrorist – a white, middle aged, heavy set soccer mom trying to buy a salad. Can totally see why video replay was necessary.
Feta was outrageous – about $6 to $7 depending upon brand, so I said “screw you Meijer” and went across the street to Aldi’s to buy a nice block of feta for a little over $3. Sadly a pack of three small steaks at Aldi’s is now up to $20 buckaroos. Sigh.
This world is so screwed up. At least the machine gave me the correct change. Can’t say the same for young checkers who think math is hard.
Cash and avoid using store card for dealz is good protest against individualised consumer pricing pending in the near future. Another “equalization” effort. Yes it’s more expensive to shop this way but when the AI starts individualizing pricing it is going to be unaffordable to eat so I am holding out for cash. I still consider the AI extremely dangerous and the reassurance that they will use records is not in the least consoling. I believe that AI is in use with police, fire and other emergency responders and they must now follow AI determinations not their own eyes, ears, training or experience. I had a near deadly experience recently that I believe was enabled by AI and it’s quite disturbing what can be done.
You Know whether or not you identify with this – I laughed – then I sighed too
I am laughing….not to the sighing part yet…

Well here is a sweet story…we had wicked storms early this morning…one of my dog friends found a squirrel nest in her yard, with 5 baby squirrels in it…eyes still closed, but mom no where around and did not come back for them, which a squirrel will often do if she loses a baby. The wind blew the nest with the babies out of the tree, to the ground….friend brought them to the dog event today to feed them every 2 hours…their eyes were still closed, they were so small…she was able to find a wildlife rehabber and is taking them there tonight…there is hope for them.
Living my best life at the dog event…got a blue ribbon…and celebrated with some type of adult spritzer, Aperol I think, that the owner of the venue served up. Cocktails in the ‘living room’ so to speak or ‘speak easy’ I should say. Next door is a craft beer brewery, they haven’t figured out why we don’t go for victory ‘celebrations’….he he…
Here is a link with one recipe…easy peasy.
