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 †

Teasing Thursday Thoughts
Mornin’ Idaho
Really hoping for Justice this am. 🙏
I would not be surprised if the trans slogans on the weapon and ammo are not false flags meant to help cover the tracks of the real assassin.
Seems kinda convenient, dunnit?
Dear Soaz
I feel your angst this morning. You, and so many other treepers are shedding rivers of tears. Anger and hopelessness vie for supremacy Can we learn to shake them off our shoulders?
I’ve been reading Eko . His current series included 9/11 info. This is part III … https://eko.substack.com/p/911-the-permanent-emergency
I grabbed this excerpt:
Your job isn’t to tear down their system. It’s to build ours. Every garden planted, every child homeschooled, every cash transaction, every neighborhood connection, every skill shared, every truth spoken accelerates their irrelevance.
Charlie Kirk is the latest in a long line of executions Eko shows how we can (and are) taking back our freedom and our country. Don’t use your energy for anger. Swerve it into productive combat.
I know – many of us are old and our ability to fight is limited … but we can and must act – even small things like paying cash whenever possible.
His last sentence … Your walking away is their death sentence.
He has a new one up just now:

Good advice, Idaho. I’m blown away by how personal this feels – very difficult to not want immediate atonement. Watching his daughter run to him tore my heartto shreds. 😢
hitting too close to home
found this on Gab from Boneyard
I saw something profound this morning that made a lot of sense. When Charlie was assassinated yesterday by soulless leftist radicals, he wasn’t just shot in the neck. No, the most visible and vocal conservative young activist was shot in the voice. Think about that for a second ………..
Yes
Thanks for sharing the Eko substack…I was hoping it would come up here in the treehouse.
The peace of Christ in the kingdom of Christ
A secret, an open secret: these world crises are crises of saints. God wants a handful of men ‘of his own’ in every human activity. And then… ‘pax Christi in regno Christi’ –the peace of Christ in the kingdom of Christ.
A clear mark of the man of God, of the woman of God, is the peace in their souls: they have peace and they give peace to the people they have dealings with.
Holy Mary, Queen of peace, we invoke you. We cry out to you.
Regina pacis, ora pro nobis – Queen of peace, pray for us.
This is who they are.
mentally unstable sub-humans
Had conversation with family member about this …
Because I mentioned Charlie’s mother is/was a mental health counselor.
I thought (mistakenly, probably) the murderer is a “nut” job.
Family person believes (adamantly) people like this are not mentally unstable;
Rather, their hearts are wicked and pure evil – given over to depraved minds.
They want to blame mental health issues on their depravity and not be held accountable.
And, yes, a small percentage who are participating do have mental problems, but not the majority.
The Lord God describes the issue perfectly in His Word:
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick;
who can understand it?”

I have listened to all the songs you have posted and really enjoyed them. Yes, Woodville is a tiny town just a little bit west of Porterville. It was my dream since I was young to live on a farm. Never got the farm but I do have a small acreage here with no really close neighbors. Peace and quiet, nothing but the sounds of nature abound. Heavenly.
Yes I grew up living in the country all around Porterville. 2007 sold My 10 acres near Terra Bella. moved tp country living in Texas!! love it!!
Hi Patty
Couldn’t get past a minute or so of each video – but, I appreciate you posting them.
Our new little burro, Olive, was rescued from an auction. Most of them end up as dog food. 😔 It appears she was used for roping practice – she’s having difficulty with her hind legs. But, all in all she’s become more friendly, is gaining a needed bit of weight, and really enjoys Louisa’s company. She’s an old gal, and we just want her to enjoy the time she has.
Afternoon, dear lady . . . What a great story. I so enjoy reading your posts for this reason. 🙂
Oh, Garrison
You sure know how to make an old gal’s day!
When I was little I would save up every dime so I could rent a horse for an hour or two from a local lady, Irma Roberston, who owned and ran stables down by the Kern River in Bakersfield, CA. She was a real horse whisperer long before there was such a term.
She would go to auctions and buy young horses and rescue them. She would rehab them and give them the medical care and feed they needed. When they were old enough she would break them and sell them to rich folks in town for thier kids. She would bring in these scrawny, feeble looking horses but when she was ready to sell them they were gorgeous.
Most of the horses she sold never left her stables as the new owners kept them boarded there. She ran her stables with an iron hand. NO abuse was ever allowed, period.
I don’t know why but she took me under her wing and let me spend all summer long at her stables, pretty much dawn to dusk. Shes taught me how to read horses and how to break them through love and trust.
When I was 11 Irma bought a wild horse, a morgan, who had been raised wild in a herd of morgans who ran free on a couple thousand acres until the owner lost his lease on the land and the herd was sold at auction. My parents bought him, he was 18 months old, and I spent the next 6 months gaining his trust. By the time he was 2 I was able to saddle him and finally ride him.
Joey was the greatest horse ever! The years I spent with him were some of the greatest years of my life and Irma’s teachings started me on my lifelong path of rescuing and saving animals other people discarded. In my 70s now and still rescuing whatever comes my way in need.
I’m sure with patience and love Olive will improve and learn she can trust you in all things. God bless you for rescuing another soul in need.
Patty,
Pretty sure I know why she took you under her wing! ❤️
I was working with a nurse I knew to be a horse woman one day, and she told me about a horse that was going to auction from a very exclusive (expensive) dude ranch in Tucson. My husband took the day off and had to outbid some idiot from a dog food company. He had supposedly been kicked in the eye, but I knew the moment I saw him he had a brain tumor. Bailey went completely blind in the next 6 months, but still had a good few years with us and his animal friends who patiently led him to food and water and the barn. He was a good soul inside and out. I have to work on my forgiveness skills, because I still haven’t forgiven that ranch for using and then discarding Bailey.
Our sweet Bailey
He’s a real beauty! So glad you were able to rescue him and give him the retirement he earned.
Just returned to your post, dear lady . . . You are most kind to take in Bailey. But what I found most touching in your kind words was your description was telling us about how Bailey “animal friends” looked after their blind friend and who “. . . who patiently led him to food and water and the barn.” What a wonderful vision you have drawn with your words. There should be a movie about Bailey. 🙂
Good evening Garisson. I had a young bay mare that went blind (it is something that is called “moon blindness” and occurs in Bay colored horses. Had an old mare that let her rest her nose on her hip and led her around the pasture. When we bought her she was pregnant, but we were not told, and also she had not yet gone blind but evidently had the disease, (some horse people are unscrupulous and do not tell you things), just so they can sell their horse.
When her foal was born, we put a bell on the foals halter so momma knew where she was and of course the old mare watched over the foal as well.
Needless to say, I got very wise, very quickly when considering the purchasing of horses after that.
Seems like I have had an awful lot of experiences after having the horse ranch for twenty years. I would not have traded it for anything though.
Hope your evening is blessed.
Great story! ❤️
Afternoon, friend Patty. Thanks for posting, love. 🙂
Thank you, Garrison!
Will we Stand?
Posted in Charlie Kirk’s memory.

I don’t post much of import, but I saw this this morning and it really says some powerful things. Link:
https://x.com/ConceptualJames/status/1965964082395132096?
Here’s the text of most of it, a little long, but worth every word.
“I’ve been trying to share a particular message for a couple of years now, and I can never quite find the words. I doubt I will tonight, but I have to try again because I watched my great friend get murdered over it today.
We have a choice: catharsis or civilization.
There’s no other choice for us. We can have a civilization, where people are civilized enough to live, work, and trade with one another in a productive way, a safe way, a trustworthy enough way, or we can abandon it for the pursuit of letting the negative emotions of the past years, decade, or decades consume us.
There’s no other choice.
If we choose catharsis, we let our emotions, our Pathos, get the better of us. We turn to our anger and look to give it more justifications. We turn to our frustration and seek an orgiastic release through whatever deeds vents it. We turn to our oppression, our rage, our despair, our fear, and we let it flow through us until the Pathos pours out and covers the land in what will eventually be fire and blood.
Catharsis is tempting, and stepping into it will be libidinous, orgiastic, elevating, and divine, until we realize that it’s the feat of demons upon everything we could have built and everything we could have passed on to our children and our posterity.
Civilization is harder. It’s bitter, in fact, in comparison to catharsis. It means swallowing hard and taking all those negative emotions and sublimating them into something productive, something that builds rather than makes us feel better. Civilization feels like injustice, in fact, even though it is the only basis for justice outside of Heaven and Hell, if they exist.
If we choose civilization, we’re allowed to be mad, but we must temper our anger into right action that builds something to leave a better world, which will dissolve it, of course. We’re also allowed to be frustrated, but we must sublimate our frustration into the dedicated search for real and lasting solutions to our problems in a civilization worth living in and passing to our children. We are not allowed to despair, though, and we cannot persist in fear. We must have faith that swallowing and metabolizing all of our negativity to turn it into a flourishing society is possible and worth it, and faith will drive out fear and is the mortal enemy of despair.
Civilization is not available on the wide path. It is the narrow path, at least so far as the worldly life goes. Veer too fat to one side or the other, or even for too long a moment forget your purpose or principles, and you lose the path, lose civilization, and lose everything worth having.
Without civilization, though, we will find ourselves in a terror beyond our comprehension. Maybe it will be like the philosopher Thomas Hobbes described it in the wake of the terrible English Civil War, when civilization was nearly thrown aside. Violent, solitary or tribal, nasty, brutish, short, a wicked and selfish war of all against all. It looks like the favelas of Brazil. Maybe we’ll end up conquered, fighting among ourselves while our enemies feast on our folly. Maybe we’ll end up holding it together, for a little while anyway, under a tyrant who can, for a time, make it all stop and demand order. Maybe we all just end up learning Mandarin and get along mastering the ins and outs of social credit existence.
Civilization is worth fighting for, and catharsis is the kind of momentary pleasure followed by pain that every virtue stands in opposition to. In a civilization we, and each of our children after us, can live as individuals, free to pursue our dreams in sufficient safety and opportunity to generate abundance. Catharsis will be a groupish disaster with all the allure and hangover of a drunken mosh pit.
Again, I’m not expressing myself the way I see this issue in my mind. It’s such an important message that I just can’t get right, no matter how I try.
What I will say is that, for any differences in the particulars my great friend Charlie Kirk and I have had, Charlie Kirk stood for, lived for, and acted to his dying breath for civilization. He was far too temperate and wise, even at 31, for catharsis.”
Thank you for reading.
My take on the attempted assassination of the Hamas leadership in Qatar.
I am certain that the leadership of Qatar wanted them gone and was informed what was coming. Heck they probably secretly conspired to have that strike made. The US/ President Trump is just running cover for the Emir and his family to try and protect them from reprisal.
One has to have been paying attention and to understand how the leaders in more moderate Muslim countries speak in vague innuendos and their public statements often seem obtuse (physically blunt, lacking a sharp edge or point), to see through the Kabuki theater.
Those leaders have to be very careful in the words they choose because they and their families can easily become targets of the radicals if they are perceived to have become an active enemy of the Jihad.
The fact is that harboring such terrorists is bad for business and also can easily turn out to be a threat to their own regimes. And those two things are what Arab leaders throughout their history striven to protect the most. And that is also the reason why none of the Arab countries, not even the ones that are deemed less friendly to Israel and the US, have allowed the mass migration of Palestinians into their countries.
One other point. The cowering fools leading the nations in the EU have declared that assassination as an attack ON Qatar. It was not. It was an attack on the Hamas leadership hiding out IN Qatar.
Well said, rah. I agree entirely with your very cogent points of view. The middle east is a highly volatile kind of place so what we’ve been seeing there is some Kabuki deep-play statecraft. Of course the Qatar rulers wanted to get rid of the Hamas leadership living high in Qatar while Israel obviously wanted ’em dead. That was a dangerous situation for them. So, obviously, it was in the interest of them—with a little American help—cutting a convenient behind-the-scenes deal.

You put so much effort into it
I feel your made for better things than this
I mean this in a good way
A positive way
Your a good man nim
And when I say you were made for better things than this
I don’t mean anything negative about THIS
This web site
I mean you
This is you though
It’s what you do
You have talent
Thanks for what
you do
I think though
The pretty puppy stuff
It’s cute
But
It’s twitter

Maybe your stuff
We need more of it
Positive things like you post
Thanks friend
You have entertained me for years
thx for the kind words, Peace
no special talent, I’m retired and have time to browse, am a bit (a bit?) of a news junkie and I just bump into stuff. if you browse to a youtube “short”, the page will scroll down to more and more clips, so it’s easy to be exposed and hard not to post too much here. I really like the goat clip I posted her on this page, that just cracks me up.
I found the Treehouse during the George Zimmerman trial related to that beatific smiling teen in the Hollister shirt
coincided with my conversion to conservatism and shift in media sources, as I realized mainstream media were lying to me
having just retired I had time to browse the web with the TV on CNN coverage of the Zimmerman trial. they had all of Trayvon’s family and influencers on in panel discussions bemoaning that bad white-hispanic Zimmerman who gunned down their innocent purple drank boy.
while at the same time, live coverage of the trial had that witness who went to his patio door facing the concrete path and he described the guy in the hoodie astride the portly fellow and raining down blows martial-arts style
so it was eyewitness testimony contrasting with family bemoaning “he shot our little angel fo’ no reason, tracked him down like a dog” — when it was obvious Trayvon was the aggressor and George was defensively fighting for his life
I thought: “well, hell — this looks like a simple self-defense case”
and – of course – that’s exactly what the jury found
as I asked my liberal friend: “if someone was astride you and banging the back of your head against the underlying pavement, how many blows would you let go before using your gun? if you had one”
“how many blows might it take for you to go unconscious and lose all ability for self-defense”
at the same time, I stumbled on a link to Treehouse coverage and never looked back
in subsequent years, I post some comments that I feel contribute to discussions here, and some frivolous stuff that’s light-hearted, as we have animal lovers, amateur sleuths, and lovers of life here — count me as one among them.
I think I’m pretty good about keeping remarks topical on the topical articles and I appreciate the open thread for its light-hearted content
your comments “I feel your made for better things than this” and “we’re at war”
I’d say “I’m retired, I’ve done my stint” and “yep, I know we’re at war, but I’ll leave that more to those of fightin’ age” and I’ll tune in to the topical articles where I’m more of an observer/consumer than major contributor”
I have some expertise in meteorology and climate science, having academic training in related fields and as a surfer (we ponder over weather maps for developing storms and swells). So I enjoy RAH’s postings in those fields and Sundance’s learned hurricane-prep warnings.
I also have keen interest in anthropology and human dispersal across the continents, much of that happening during the last 2 million years of alternating ice ages and warm interglacial periods. I’ve a degree in geology, and education in geologic time gives you the perspective that 2 million years is a blink of an eye.
An example mind-blower is that as little as 17,000 years ago, continental ice sheets were at maximun extent and sea level was 400+ feet lower, as that water was tied up in the ice sheets. Imagine that: go to any seashore and look out and paleo-sea-level was a couple miles offshore and hundreds of feet lower.
About 11,000 years ago, those ice sheets started to melt, the oceans filled back up, and all societies around the world have “great flood” legends as a result.
Here’s a guy I follow:
Also, many present island chains were exposed land during glacial sea-level lowstands, like much of Indonesia over to Australia. Aborigines got to Australia about 65,000 years ago during one of those lowstands. And the peopling of the Americas in similar fashion across the Bering land bridges of the lowstands

Love you bro

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.

Evening Prayer For Future Guidance
Heavenly Father, as I lie down to sleep tonight, I pray that You would guard my sleeping and protect my mind from wandering thoughts and unnecessary planning. Teach me to wait for Your perfect timing and not to try to plan my future in my own strength.
Lord, I know that You have scheduled every day of my life. Help me to trust You in all things and rely on You to lead me along the straight path and guide me in the direction that You would have me to go.
Give me patience to wait for Your perfect timing, and may I not trust in my own abilities and scheming, but rather rest in Your love and trust my future into Your hands.
And so now Lord, I commit this night to you, asking that I would rest soundly and wake refreshed and strong to do Your bidding. This I ask in Jesus’ precious name,
Amen.

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 nights 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.
