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 †

For several reasons, this has become my “go to” thread…
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” – Isaiah 5:20
“Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” – Ephesians 4: 14-15

Isambard Kingdom Brunel
(1806-1859)
British engineer (SS Great Britain, Great Western Railway), dies of a stroke at 53
Biography: Isambard Kingdom Brunel is one of the most famous figures of the Industrial Revolution in Britain. Born to a French engineer settled in Britain, Brunel first worked for his father on the Thames Tunnel.
In 1833 Brunel was appointed chief engineer for the proposed Great Western Railway. Brunel made the far-reaching decision to choose the broad gauge in place of the standard gauge. This decision enabled the trains to run at faster speeds and was eventually adopted throughout the country.
While working for the Great Western Railway, which ran London to Bristol, Brunel was responsible for the design of many impressive bridges, viaducts and railway stations.
Brunel is equally remembered for his three great ships, the ‘Great Western’, launched 1837, the first steamship to do a transatlantic service. The ‘Great Britain’ (1843), was the world’s first iron-hulled, screw propeller-driven, steam-powered passenger liner and the ‘Great Eastern’ (1859) laid the transatlantic cable.
Brunel’s other engineering achievements include the Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol and the redesign of a number of British docks.

From tonight’s TownHall site. This is an excellent explanation of why fascism is not “right wing” . . .
Fascism and communism are not opposites. They are rivals within the same ideological family — branches of the collectivist tree rooted in Marxist soil. While they differ in rhetoric and style, both lead to the same destination: totalitarian control, the abolition of individual rights, and the glorification of the all-powerful state. To call fascism “far-right” is to misunderstand both history and political philosophy.
Thank you Mr. Hall….and as we all know, those on the left aren’t that bright anyway….
This is one (of many) historical errors modern day Democrats and leftists make. They call President Trump and his supporters “Fascists” and “Nazis”… without understanding that the Nazi Party was a Socialist organization. Even in the party’s name.. the German National Socialist Party. People today tend to toss terms around with little understanding or care of their meaning. Of course, for those who have read Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals, one of the first rules to make language have no meaning so that communication is impossible. We have seen them attempt this… words can be whatever THEY want them to be, thus one person can be a “they”. Math can be “racist”. And there have been times during a discussion where the meanings of terms actually changed DURING the debate.
Well said, benzy. And once we understand this, it makes the illiterate shouts from the street all the more irrelevant. Those idiots can’t begin to understand how wrong their accusations are. “Fascism” . . . ? Not even close!
Ironically, it is an avowed Socialist the Democrats are supporting in the New York City Mayoral race

The first year we lived in the house we are living in now — out in the country — I woke to find a black bear walking on our back deck that looks just like the one in the photo. Our deck is right next to a large, clear, easily breakable sliding glass door like the photo, too.
I kept thinking that the bear could break the doors in, even though the bear on our deck was smaller (thank You Lord!), and later on my husband installed scissor gates on the front and back patio doors.
Yeah, we look like crazy city people who moved out to the country.
Reading an excellent book on our powers endowed to us as Christians through our belief in Jesus Christ.
It was recommended to me by Julie Green Ministries. This is for equipping during these difficult times. We have work to do as believers… not as bystanders on the sidelines. This is everyone’s fight.
We need to learn and know our part.

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 Monday, September 15, 2025
✟
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”
Genesis 1:1 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR GENESIS 1
“Genesis” is a name taken from the Greek, and signifies “the book of generation or production;” it is properly so called, as containing an account of the origin of all things. There is no other history so old. There is nothing in the most ancient book which exists that contradicts it; while many things recorded by the oldest heathen writers, or to be traced in the customs of different nations, confirm what is related in the book of Genesis.God creates heaven and earth. (1,2) The creation of light. (3-5) God separates the earth from the waters, and makes it fruitful. (6-13) God forms the sun, moon, and stars. (14-19) Animals created. (20-25) Man created in the image of God. (26-28) Food appointed. (29,30) The work of creation ended and approved. (31)1,2 The first verse of the Bible gives us a satisfying and useful account of the origin of the earth and the heavens. The faith of humble Christians understands this better than the fancy of the most learned men. From what we see of heaven and earth, we learn the power of the great Creator. And let our make and place as men, remind us of our duty as Christians, always to keep heaven in our eye, and the earth under our feet. The Son of God, one with the Father, was with him when he made the world; nay, we are often told that the world was made by him, and nothing was made without him. Oh, what high thoughts should there be in our minds, of that great God whom we worship, and of that great Mediator in whose name we pray! And here, at the beginning of the sacred volume, we read of that Divine Spirit, whose work upon the heart of man is so often mentioned in other parts of the Bible. Observe, that at first there was nothing desirable to be seen, for the world was without form, and void; it was confusion, and emptiness. In like manner the work of grace in the soul is a new creation: and in a graceless soul, one that is not born again, there is disorder, confusion, and every evil work: it is empty of all good, for it is without God; it is dark, it is darkness itself: this is our condition by nature, till Almighty grace works a change in us.”
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

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.

GOD’S GREAT LOVE
When God gave His Only Begotten Son;
The ransom for souls – the victory won;
He demonstrated His great love to be;
For all His Beloved – for you and me!
By the Blood of the Lamb – we are redeemed;
There’s no other way it could be it seemed;
His sacrifice was pure – untainted by sin;
Let the suffering end – His new life begin!
There is no greater love one man can give;
Than to lay down His life and to forgive;
He forgave His oppressors – yes He did;
His victory over death – all amid!
What does God want in return for His love?
Is it peace among men or branch of olive?
For what do we strive to do day after day?
What is it we need – to live only His way?
We must love Him with our mind, heart, and soul;
Serve Him through others – His heart to console;
Serve no other gods – no idols have we;
The servant of all – He wants us to be!
We must keep our Sabbath to worship Him;
Not just for one day – but surely passim;
We must honor our earthly mother and dad;
The best of caretakers we ever had!
We must not kill our brother – any way;
In spirit or slander or libel – betray;
We must take not – what belongs not to us;
Or covet the goods of another thus!
We must not covet the wife of any man;
Or lust in our hearts because we can;
No envy or malice can we keep inside;
Nor from God should we ever seek to hide!
We must love our neighbor as Jesus loved;
Do all that we can – make him so beloved;
For it is in giving that we will receive;
And it is in dying – we come to believe!
Dying to self – to follow Jesus, Our Lord;
Is that which will bring us to full accord;
Keeping His Word – we must strive to do;
For God’s Great Love lives in me and you!

Can AI generate the music and vocals in a youtube video? (Yes I know youtube has AI generated video scenes)
I noticed the three presentations by Uncle Sams Blues (Sam Fox) which i posted yesterday mornings Open Thread seemed almost too good to be true and also all of their videos were only a matter of a few weeks old.
Attempted to research both the band name and Sam Fox but found nothing. Bands don’t just appear out of thin air so something doesn’t seem right.
Thoughts anyone?
Intriguing.
I too tried to find info on them and came up with nothing. I also can find very little info on a new group called Holy Groove… scripture set to the blues, some of which has been posted on this thread very recently.
Being from the deep South, I was interested if indeed these are true Delta musicians. The Bible group is prolific.
Makes me wonder. 🤔
Thoughts??
Oh my, Monti …
This AI (artificial intelligence) stuff is crossing a dangerous boundary, I believe.
The first time I heard of it, the Holy Spirit gave me a warning … flee from it.
And, that’s the problem – deciphering what is true or false.
Just this morn, my son told me some ways AI is being used – i.e., uploading pictures of deceased loved ones on computer and creating their voices to speak; or, a photo is one’s deceased pet, creating images of it running, jumping, barking.
This is demonic – probably occult.
Humans are not meant to live this way …
It creates confusion, not clarity; living in unrealistic realm.
Probably the cow is now out of the barn?
Several months ago, I read some interesting articles about AI written from Christian perspective.
Will post the links, if I can find them.
(A few months back is like twenty years on internet.)
I despise this part of technology … but then, I’m old now.
I’m starting to worry about being able to differentiate between real and artificial.
That’s their motive, I think.
Do like my hubs – he doesn’t believe anything on ‘net, haha!

The difference between the R v D Civil War of the 19th century with the one that is to come in the 21st –
1: Declared war waged by army against army, legal combatants directed by institutional governments representing the will of their own peoples towards incompatible outcomes.
2: Undeclared campaign of murder and terror against innocent civilians by one side by a mob of anarchists led by Joker(s) who take joy in burning it all down for no other reason than the pleasure of destruction and death against unsuspecting innocent civilians not fighting back while trying to retain a semblance of civilization in their little corners of crumbling civilization – not a fair fight; not equivalent methods; nor equivalent outcomes – peaceful civilization or smoking pile of anarchy.
NEVER accept “both sides are to blame” – one of the bigger lies.
IMO, the very best rendition of this catchy tune, Brotherhood of Man, in a legal freeview, cued to that part.
BTW, the DVD set of this excellent comedy series is FINALLY available as of May 2025 after all of these years. The problem causing the delay was music rights.

Made by Klova, the patches include melatonin and other “naturally occurring ingredients” to help people sleep. Klova says the product is not intended to be used by people under 18. Melatonin is regulated as a dietary supplement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, meaning there is less oversight compared to over-the-counter medication and prescription drugs. And it is not recommended for children under 5 years old, according to SleepFoundation.org.

Well that’s a let down but a learning experience…..the three tunes that I posted yesterday in the Open thread seem to be clever AI.
Looking on youtube this seems a very recent phenomena occurring in the last few months. Presentations from bands with no history and either un-animated with just music and vocals or animated video with AI and you can tell on these that the figures are not real.
Here is one example of an AI video
Here is another which is not animated video but the instruments and the vocals are I believe AI.
Again, what a let down. There are others out there for country and I’m sure rock and roll. The tell for now is they’re all done very recently. No band is as prolific as to produce music that quickly.
I’ve seen it all now. Look for yourself this is my best estimation of what this is…..

i came across a similar youtube channel about a month ago .. this channel had a description:
Sam Dad Radio
Mini-movie musicals from a world that never was… but maybe should’ve been.
Air Force vet. Tampa Fire Rescue alum. Now 72 and retired, I tell porch stories in the language of the blues.
This ain’t just a channel. It’s a musical graphic novel told in bottle slides, gospel cries, Mojo spells, and back-porch parables. Each video’s a short film. Each song, a showdown, lament, or hymn.
Meet Old Old Joe, Mojo Mama, Willie James, Ray Portelli, and Mumbles. The Legends in a land outside time, picking through stories too stubborn to die.
Yes, I use AI for voices, instruments, and visuals, however, the lyrics, melodies, editing, sound design, and story? That’s all me. With an iPhone, an iPad, grit, grace, and faith in Jesus Christ.
This ain’t AI doing blues. This is the blues doing what it’s always done: telling truth through myth.
The porch light’s on. Pull up a chair.

Good evening annie,
Interesting that that work is copyrighted and claimed by an individual whereas the ones I have reviewed don’t seem to be.
Evidently they can be made up very quickly because the one was done on Sunday following Charlie Kirk assassination. If you listen closely to the music its like the difference between digital and analog and “too clean”
A siren’s song.
