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 †

“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” – 2 Corinthians 3:18
“Let everything that breathes sing praises to the LORD! Praise the LORD!” – Psalm 150:6
“Glory”
Sometimes I realize, when I gaze in the skies
this spinning world is not my home
A place of mystery, a land of destiny
is where I know one day I’ll go
I dream of beauty I have never seen
I know the arms of heaven wait for me
And yet I feel His sweetness here and now
In this life on earth, I have found
Un lugar celestial, just a little bit of heaven sent from above
Un lugar celestial, where the presence of my Father holds me in His love
Un lugar celestial
When all my skies are gray, I simply steal away
into my secret hiding place
When hearts are cold as ice, the breath of paradise
blows warm and gentle on my face
I know I need my time alone with Him
His healing waters flowing deep within
Don’t have to wish upon a distant star, cuz the light of love fills my heart
Un lugar celestial, just a little bit of heaven sent from above
Un lugar celestial, where the presence of my Father hold me in his love
Un lugar celestial

The Taylor and Souther video is an iconic period piece and an old favorite. Thanks especially for posting this.
BTW: finally found a brand new blue-ray copy of “Two-Lane Blacktop” w/ James Taylor, Dennis Wilson, and Warren Oates and Laurie Bird. Watched it the other night with my neighbors who have a wall sized projection screen. That 454 engined 55 Chevy drag racer was/is seriously cool!!
Going way back here. This was written by Keith Moon for The Who on A Quick One. Keith even adds some unintelligible verses in the song.
Artificial Intelligence is screening the workforce and burying qualified candidates … and this article is 2 years old which is equivalent to decades in the technology sector.
Yes… the article comes from the ACLU… doesn’t mean it’s not correct and the technology is being weaponized.
Incidentally, I’m noticing an increasing trend that higher wage miltary defense sectors are being manned by foreign staffing agencies who will only hire on long term contracts and do not promise customary conversion to permanent employment… just a + at the end of the contract duration. Reputational searches on these… often Indian (dot not the feather) owned and managed businesses… reveal poor business practices, mismanagement, and failures of their human resources team to respond proactively to employee concerns or inquiries with favoritism rendered to non-Caucasian contractors.
Notice the methods used in the article to filter candidates. Including in interview videos. At this point… with what AI does with peoples’ voices and how that can be transposed into other things… I’m NOT in favor of anyone recording me without a clear agreement for use and distribution.
LinkedIn is nothing more than a deep database for meta data farming. I’ve determined it’s no one’s business who I know and how we are connected. I refuse to participate.

Had lunch with a best friend the other day. I had a career thanks to her advocacy at a critical time . . . We were talking about this very thing, dear ‘Woo. We are both well retired and thankful for it.
Most of our colleagues have also left academia and what was most enjoyable and rewarding work is now becoming unrecognizable. Tenure—which we all had—is disappearing and along with it the kind of academic freedom that allowed me to be an “upfront” political conservative among a tribe a “moderates” and progressives. So glad I’m on my now obscure-old-guy sideline. Take care, love. 🙂
You were fortunate to miss this time in history. To work within society under these constrictions is utterly impossible for highly productive individuals with critical thinking skills.
Michael Savage used to say that liberalism was a mental disorder… well the loon tunes have left the asylum and they’re everywhere. It is systemic.
Enjoy the sidelines – the game sucks.
Yeah, I tell people to think of me as the old-guy-at-the-end-of-the-street. In fact, however, despite being legitimately “old”, I am fortunate to be surrounded by a number of close friends, several of whom are near neighbors.
You’re a terrific neighbor to have, G.
Not “old”…. seasoned.
I enjoy your stories. You are a great novel.
Coming from a friend like you have been all this time, this is a huge
—and humbling—compliment. Love you dear ‘Woo. 🙂

Morning bro!
Howdy, Frank!
SCRIPTURES from my morning Bible readings that describe Charlie Kirk, President Trump, and the lawless left.
Proverbs 28:1
The wicked flee when no one pursues
But the righteous are bold as a lion.
Proverbs 28:2
Because of the transgression of the land,
many are its princes;
But by a man of understanding and knowledge
Right will be prolonged.
Proverbs 28:4-5
Those who forsake the law
praise the wicked.
But such as keep the law
contend with them.
Evil men do not understand
justice
But those who seek the Lord
understand all.
Proverbs 24:23-24
These things belong to the wise:
It is not good to show partiality
in judgment.
He who says to the wicked,
“You are righteous”
Him the people will curse;
Nations will abhor him
But those who rebuke the
wicked will have delight,
And a good blessing will come upon them.
Proverbs 29:8
Scoffers set a city aflame,
But wise men turn away wrath.
Proverbs 29:14-15
When the righteous are in
authority, the people rejoice.
When a wicked man rules,
the people groan.
Great scripture for the times we’re dealing with. I pray that this becomes wisdom for all God’s people, thanks Sibyl!
Mornin’ all!
I’m watching artificial intelligence devalue heavy machinery inventory and woke, incompetent management blindly following whatever AI dictates. It’s causing the company to take losses.
This is not good.
Rearranging chairs on the Titanic.
Consider this… if users can influence artificial intelligence by entering false data metrics… then you can falsely increase the value or decrease the value of machinery inventory.
This is happening in used equipment sales.
It’s about perception of value… just as it is about perception of human value in hiring.
Whose setting the perception and who’s creating the narrative?
Salesmen know better.
Remove the salesmen who know better and you remove the protest
At what point did the principles of accounting become “subjective”?
JWoo, that is a nice picture with your post. Will you tell me how to do it so I can put a picture with my post?
First you gotta getta cool cat!
There’s always this… I have a couple I can share?!
I believe it is from an old Disqus profile or from when I had a website of my own tied to my email address. Quite a few years old. Disqus is a commenting platform that can be used across wide range of sites.
Frankly, Bruce… protect your anonymity. I’ve lost too much to give one wit about mine anymore.
When the fluid word, “value” entered into a company’s marketing ploy.
Marketing 101, convincing the customer of their ‘need’ for a given product.
Good morning, JWoo! Don’t even get me started on AI and medicine.
Blessings to you and Savannah! ❤️
I imagine this keeps CountryDoc awake at night. I’m so skeptical about pharma… I think they’ve been keeping us sick!
They have to “create the crisis” to be the “solution” for it.
“I’m watching artificial intelligence devalue heavy machinery inventory and woke, incompetent management blindly following whatever AI dictates. It’s causing the company to take losses.”
Joan, is there no way to persuade them of the error of AI?
Artificial sure does sum up the “intelligence” of AI.
Unbelievable how wrong it can be….
You can’t talk to these people. They do not have experience and the term used frequently around my work is “fail up”.
Their egos and pridefulness will not allow them to listen to common sense.
They’re all pretending… while blowing through someone else’s money.
I hope am not too late to the party…
AI could be another way for TPTB, to pick and choose winners and losers…
JWoo: Interesting observation about real world impacts of AI. Thanks!
Anytime you are crowd-sourcing data… it is highly susceptible to manipulation.
Small businesses are using phony Google reviews all the time to bolster reputation ratings.
But if we can’t talk to each other in person, if we can’t discuss anything collectively for each person’s valuable input, if we can’t inspect the workmanship or trust anyone’s word…
It is the destruction of reputation.
Hey Miss Woo! Good to see you. When it comes to AI, I am Sgt. Schultz – I know nothing!
Just wanted to say hi to you, Savannah, and the fur balls. Blessings.
Blessings to you, Burro Lady,
“Knowing nothing” about it would be the ultimate bliss. Things are really not good for us. Really, really… not good.
Sadly, Savannah has been overtaken. It is very sordid and terribly upsetting, but she’s no longer with me and has been gone a little over six weeks. I am in deep mourning and honestly struggling to hang on.
I do not know where she is living… nor do I know directly the guy who helped to cause this. I know of him, but never met him or saw his face. I have a location that she is now working – but I cannot go get her.
It’s all on the Prayer Thread.
It started with three online sex predators on Instagram within four months – the first who was two weeks away from luring her to Louisiana, the second who I believe participated in stealing her identity and was looting her bank account, and the third who was trying to coerce her to sending him gift cards.
She promised me she had stopped talking to strangers online. She was only talking to known people. Sadly, I didn’t pick up on the “known people” part until way too late.
It ended with a “known” predator from her former public school having found her – or she found him – and he completely brainwashed her. He was so much of a problem back in 2022 – that I had written his name down in my mailing list. I only had a phone number and an email address… which the phone number has changed. His name is “Matt Smith” so there’s no help with that.
She was so terribly vulnerable and I did everything I could – including involving the police department. There’s nothing I can do, nor they will do…. because she’s over 18. She had gotten to the point of lying to me every day for months. Her countenance completely changed. She turned dark and I was fighting her because she was caught lying repeatedly and for no justifiable reason. I simply couldn’t understand what the hell was going on. It made zero sense.
I just know this – social media is DEMONIC and my only and best advice is to:
Remove all children from public schools – and some private ones (just because they are “private” don’t assume anything!) – one must be very careful. Homeschool them. Do it. Don’t ever let anyone use your children as political collateral. Trust in God to provide for that decision. Commit it to Him and He Will help you find a way. The things our kids are exposed to nowadays – you might as well just offer them up on a sacrificial altar to the devil. I know that’s really harsh – but I stand by every word. We must be fully cognizant of what is filling these kids’ minds.
Remove all children from social media. None of those God-awful video games either. There are all kinds of predators there, too. Savannah had only been on social media for one year because of Bible Study we took together with an international women’s group – but WhatsApp led to other things. The fact is – social media and online communities are simply fallacies. It is too dangerous to try to believe peoples’ personas. You think they’re innocent. You want to give the benefit of the doubt. You want to believe people are honest. The risk is simply too great. You can’t believe anything unless you can see it… in flesh and blood before your very eyes. Too much is theater and our poor kids don’t have the wisdom or Spiritual discernment to identify the fact from fiction. Their brains are not fully evolved until 26.
The internet and every social media platform is the devil and it is resulting in tremendous losses.
She was only one month from being hired permanently at Hershey’s jumping from $19 to $23 an hour. Was on budget to fully fund a ROTH IRA and to save $60,000 over the course of the next two years and was developing a small budget. What an incredible start she would have had at just 21 years old – she’s currently 19. She was doing well at her job – seemed healthy until she steadily and rapidly…. changed.
Now, it’s as if I don’t even know her. She’s completely “gone” to me. He has deleted my contact info from her phone, blocks me from speaking to her, and he requires her to be on speaker phone when a mutual friend can try to talk to her. She thinks she’s “in love” and this is the third “fiance” in four months. Our mutual friend is being careful to try to keep some form of connection with her – for the time we can only pray for – when she wants to break free from this.
She’s no longer at Hershey’s… instead cleaning feces off of bathroom walls at a Dairy Queen for $13/hour in one of the worst drug-infested cities in Central Indiana. The “fiance” helped her clean out her bank account, blowing through over $3,000 in four days – got her to open a new bank account, we believe with his name on it… and they are holed up together. This town is not known for decency. It is high crime, high trafficking of all kinds, town.
I entered into a support group – PEAC “Parents of Estranged Adult Children” and am completely numb. I cry… a lot. And I try to figure out… where do I go from here? The founder of PEAC said it’s nothing about my parenting or my family… it’s a social movement that’s overtaking our children and loved ones. ONE in FOUR parents are dealing with this according to their statistics.
I wish I could say that it makes me feel better – it doesn’t. Nothing does. I’m quite simply – done with all the pretending. The internet is demonic and the devil prowls seeking all he can devour and destroy. Our politicians don’t represent us and society has taken to trading on our kids wellbeing and minds. This is total mind control.
Call me crazy – I simply don’t care. I have lost everything. I saw my daughter struggling to hang on to who she was and watched her turn into who she is now… a person I do not know. I do not believe she was ever doing drugs. She showed zero signs of that. She did express signs that she was starting to exert her independence and had a weird fixation on getting married – and for some reason she was unable to hold to the plan she had in place to grow that independence responsibly.
A few tools:
“Letting Go – Rugged Love for Wayward Souls” by Dave Harvey and Paul Gilbert (thank you to Della who recommended it)
“The Believer’s Authority” by Kenneth Hagin
If all of you all aren’t IN THE WORD OF GOD – GET THERE AND STAY THERE. It’s our only HOPE while we fight this thing.
Savannah has loved The Lord since the day she was born. She was baptized of her own accord at 9 years old. She is a mighty warrior for Christ – but this pull was simply too strong because of hole inside her heart that existed because of the loss of her father’s attention. It was a void that I could never fill – nor could I ever prepare for how this manifest. The devil saw the weakness and he capitalized on it.
We went from having a wonderful time at the State Fair on a beautiful Sunday to our world literally falling apart on a Thursday. I am devastated. I can only pray that the consequences for her actions are not long-lasting, life-altering, or irreparably damaging.
Savannah is off creating her testimony with Jesus and I have to stay out of the way.
I believe every. single. word. of this podcast…
Savannah was religiously persecuted while she was on the public school’s Social Studies Academic Team.
She stood her ground and would not recant or back down.
Her grades were altered by the public school system in August 2024 – when she had left there in June of 2024 – and they were altering her grades from 1st quarter of 2024. I have the evidence of it. They were RUINING her GPA so she would have no prospects for a collegiate education. Her only saving grace was me pulling her from there her senior year and homeschooling her so I could try to learn her educational learning gaps and could recover her GPA to the lowest allowable by vocational program here. Plus, I simply would not stand another minute of the garbage they were filling her mind with. Our kids KNOW when they are not being defended, when they are being assaulted physically, socially, and intellectually. They know what is happening…. is not right.
They eroded her self-esteem, violated her desire for wholesome curriculum, and they capitalized on her trauma of the loss of her father’s relationship. Her father – who is now a Senior IT Administrator for PFIZER. (Have that on your health insurance ID card.) One assignment in her Junior year – draw cannibalism in great detail. Yeah. They TAUGHT THESE KIDS NOTHING except INSANITY.
The school REFUSED me access to her academic work so I could hire a tutor for her. I could only come to the campus if I signed a 2 page non-disclosure agreement, only at 20 to 40 minute increments at times of THEIR choosing, only under the supervision of a school resource officer, and I was forbidden from bringing anyone with me as a representative (tutor, lawyer, friend, spouse, significant other – only alone). I have this all in writing and electronic record.
Schools are CHOOSING who is going to thrive, who is going to be helped, and who is going to be ruined. They are still actively doing this. The US Government has done NOTHING except create 50 mini kingdoms and our children have been traded as political pawns.
I fully believe this what this podcast says. Fully. This whole “deal” of RFK Jr of removing cell phones from schools is actually taking away one of the only protections our children have – recording what goes on at the schools’ compounds when their parents are unable to monitor them. The schools have become their own fortresses with geofenced electronics, their own police departments, and their own health clinics. Our kids don’t stand a chance.

Dearest JWoo,
I am so sorry. Sorry for all of it, except the part where the Lord holds you and Savannah securely, even though you two are miles and opinions far apart.
God never gave my husband and me children, so my heart breaks in one way, but never in the way yours does — as a mother who tenderly held her belly as Savannah moved around inside her, as a mother who gave birth and then cried tears of joy as you held your great blessing, as a mother who was there, next to Savannah, every moment, to feed her, hold her hands as she learned to stand and then learned to walk, as she rode her bicycle for the first time, as she went off to school, as she came home crying at times, as she delighted in the birthday cakes you made her or the gifts you gave, you were there.
You were there as she fought against the world, you were the only sanity she had to look to in this world. You were there.
You were there as she held onto Jesus, yet knew that all around her Satan had embedded his claws into almost everyone else’s minds and souls. You were there, but Satan was always there, relentless, ruthless, and murderously, waiting to devour your baby.
And now, through no choice or wish of your own, she is no longer there, and you cannot be there for her.
Where two circles overlapped almost completely for just under two decades, without any choice or any say on your part, one circle ripped itself away from the other, leaving only a thin slice of you remaining — without her.
The biggest part of you, the part you shared closely, dearly, fiercely, walked away.
How could you, or anyone else with a heart and tender, Christ-filled soul, ever prepare for what you are going through? They, we, cannot. We might imagine we could, but I can say for myself I cannot. I cannot even imagine what you are going through right now, but I know without a doubt that you are not going through it alone, thanks to the Holy Spirit, the Comforter and Jesus praying for you beside His Father’s Throne. Jesus, our Savior Who weeps when we weep.
Savannah is off, breaking the chains of childhood and the rejection of her father. As she goes there will not be a moment, not a fraction of a second, when the Lord does not watch over Savannah and love her with love far greater than we can even imagine.
God has Savannah, JWoo.
And, He has you, too.
For that I am eternally thankful, and for His gift of brothers and sisters like you, and His gift of allowing us to come before His Throne of Grace in prayers and petitions for those brothers, and you, sweet sister of Grace.
I keep going over in my mind… what I could have done differently.
We got rid of the smart phone with the first sex perp. Changed her phone number. Gave her a new flip phone and she said she felt “safer” on it. With the police officer… she seemed convinced of the danger.
But with new job came new smart phone because of all the authentication, scheduling, account access. Ease of text and messaging.
I made a horrible mistake. I can’t take it back. I would.
She was close to a truly productive future and establishing herself nicely. Her job was five minutes from home and she worked nights and I worked days at my new job… so she had privacy.
She still can have a productive future, but now she must do so on her own. Hopefully sooner rather than later and hopefully with no lasting repercussions.
I pray a return to her senses and her foundation of faith.
I dread the idea that it may take years to resolve our broken relationship… but I do not control her. God gave her free will to chase after the wind.
I pray for her person. I place her at the foot of Jesus’s cross.
I warn every parent to watch for signs and listen to them and act on them.
Please know, dear ‘Woo, that none of this is your fault. Savanna’s current life experience is most likely connected to her cognitive limitations which you have discussed with us. My best friend is a trained psychologist who’s sister-in-law’s life course could be a mirror-image of Savannah’s current experiences. For many years she was married to a man with MS and proved to be wonderful care-giver. Unfortunately she went rapidly downhill when he died.
I sincerely hope your daughter will be able to find a similar, stable relationship. I am so sorry this has happened, dear friend ‘Woo. Please know you are in my prayers.
Here’s a suggestion. Instead of cleaning toilets maybe your friend can suggest to her that Savannah seek work with a home-care service. They tend to have a lot of turnover so I’m pretty sure she be successful in that work. Thanks to your help, she definitely has the skill set for home-health-care work. Just sayin’. Be well, love.
JWoo,
You have done nothing to push Savannah away. You did everything in every fashion to keep her safe, keep her striving for the Lord, keep her focus off the evil of this world and on building a good work/home life; you helped her in every way possible.
18 years speed by in a flash. One minute Savannah was a little girl looking up to you for a hug, the next minute she realized she is an “adult” who can make her own decisions — no matter how poor they may be — and in order to do that she felt she had to headout on her own.
Sometimes it takes a terrible tearing apart for the break to occur. Sometimes it takes a tragedy.
I pray for your loving mother’s heart to be comforted, and for Savannah to come to her senses soon and realize you are not her enemy.
JWoo, I’m so sorry you’ve lost your daughter to dark forces. I’ve enjoyed your tales of going for brunches and trying to guide her thru her last years of school and her accomplishments holding jobs.
Good luck and may God protect you both
Thank you, Nim. Prayers are really appreciated.
Oh Dear Woo
I am so greviuosly sorry. I haven’t sufficient words to comfort you: only a story of my own from long ago.
Almost 42 years ago, I also lost my daughter to dark forces. She was an all A student who ran from our home, found succor with not only the dregs of society, but also with spineless peripheral “family.” Within weeks, she had quit school, was shacking up with a convicted drug dealer, and had told law enforcement to arrest her father and me if we attempted to retrieve her and bring her home. She was only 16, but we were told by a police friend that CT law considered it child abuse to require that age child to live under your roof and your rules, and we indeed could be arrested.
Unbelievably, though we no longer had any control whatsoever over her, the school superintendent held us responsible for her truancy – the very least of our problems.
My ex inlaws, though never particularly involved in her life, decided to support her, of course tearing our family apart – forever. I never saw them again. The rift extended to others in our family, and finally the constant emotional turmoil, the 24/7 worry and heartbreak, and hopelessness led to my move to AZ.
About 4 years later, she married a different man, and (surprisingly) moved out near me.
Our relationship has been something of a roller coaster over the years. She would sometimes withdraw for literal years at a time without explanation.
There is much more to this story, but, the encouraging news is that our relationship has smoothed out for about the past 10 years, and there have been no emotional upheavals. I would not be truthful if I told you that I have complete trust, or that I don’t sometimes expect another shoe to drop. But……there is hope, and there is real love.
I had the advantage of having a younger child that needed his mom, and that helped me get my act together. And…..No one should be given the power to destroy your life: not even a beloved child.
You are a beautiful, intelligent, vibrant, valuable, soul. God loves you and so do we. I will be praying for you every day. ❤️
I’m so very sorry you went through that with your daughter.
It’s heart breaking.
She is where she is of her own accord. I’m grateful that I did send an officer to speak with her privately to confirm she wasn’t being held against her will.
I’m also proud of her that she immediately got another job. Regardless of whether I disagree with her choices… she is continuing to work. And that can give a doorway to someone who may be able to impart wisdom to her.
I did what I could caring for her these 20 years. It was my greatest honor.
She sent me a pretty nasty message… that I believe was actually written by the guy… just a total douche bag.
And as I mentioned it to Margaret… I had to laugh. I wanted to reply… “but don’t you want the chicken bisque recipe that you love?”
It all seems so insane. I could not have devoted myself to her more… but i wasn’t going to let her get away with dishonesty.
As for me and my house, we serve The Lord.
Through this…very she asked me if I though l thought she was the iceberg and I was the Titanic. She simply couldn’t explain why she kept lying to me.
I told her “No. I’m the person on top of the iceberg, screaming danger, danger, danger!!! The Titanic was her future husband who would have to pay for the mistakes in the poor choices you are making.”
I told her it was better she learn her consequences with me… because her behavior causes job loss, divorce, the breaking of marriages and families.
Though I don’t like it… best she learn her lessons with me rather than someone down the line.
I pray Mom Mom’s wisdom sticks.
I am trying to focus on little things… just getting through each day. Work is awful… the collapse of a business isn’t exactly great timing. 90 souls there and though I can impact a few things… it is very much the 11th hour and we need new leadership. I’m not capable of that… especially now.
So… we pray. 🙏
Dear Woo
As you would imagine, there is much more to my story. It does seem that the assaults can be almost unbearable- in fact, shortly after our move to AZ, my husband of 20 year left me.
Have to say, it temporarily took my mind off the problems with my daughter!
Looking back, it refocused my attention on survival for my son and me. Basics. And, having that goal saved me.
You are strong, resilient, and faithful. I believe that Savannah will return to your loving arms, but you must make yourself a priority. Basics 🙏 ❤️
. . . but deliver us from the Evil One.
The Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy upon me, a sinner.
Amen!

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 Wednesday, September 17, 2025
✟
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:”
Ephesians 2:8 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR EPHESIANS 2
“The riches of God’s grace towards men, shown from their deplorable state by nature, and the happy change Divine grace makes in them. (1-10) The Ephesians called to reflect on their state of heathenism. (11-13) And the privileges and blessings of the gospel.” (14-22)
(1-10) “Sin is the death of the soul. A man dead in trespasses and sins has no desire for spiritual pleasures. When we look upon a corpse, it gives an awful feeling. A never-dying spirit is now fled, and has left nothing but the ruins of a man. But if we viewed things aright, we should be far more affected by the thought of a dead soul, a lost, fallen spirit. A state of sin is a state of conformity to this world. Wicked men are slaves to Satan. Satan is the author of that proud, carnal disposition which there is in ungodly men; he rules in the hearts of men. From Scripture it is clear, that whether men have been most prone to sensual or to spiritual wickedness, all men, being naturally children of disobedience, are also by nature children of wrath. What reason have sinners, then, to seek earnestly for that grace which will make them, of children of wrath, children of God and heirs of glory! God’s eternal love or good-will toward his creatures, is the fountain whence all his mercies flow to us; and that love of God is great love, and that mercy is rich mercy. And every converted sinner is a saved sinner; delivered from sin and wrath. The grace that saves is the free, undeserved goodness and favour of God; and he saves, not by the works of the law, but through faith in Christ Jesus. Grace in the soul is a new life in the soul. A regenerated sinner becomes a living soul; he lives a life of holiness, being born of God: he lives, being delivered from the guilt of sin, by pardoning and justifying grace. Sinners roll themselves in the dust; sanctified souls sit in heavenly places, are raised above this world, by Christ’s grace. The goodness of God in converting and saving sinners heretofore, encourages others in after-time, to hope in his grace and mercy. Our faith, our conversion, and our eternal salvation, are not of works, lest any man should boast. These things are not brought to pass by any thing done by us, therefore all boasting is shut out. All is the free gift of God, and the effect of being quickened by his power. It was his purpose, to which he prepared us, by blessing us with the knowledge of his will, and his Holy Spirit producing such a change in us, that we should glorify God by our good conversation, and perseverance in holiness. None can from Scripture abuse this doctrine, or accuse it of any tendency to evil. All who do so, are without excuse.”
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

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.

GIFT OF GRACE
His Grace is abundant in meekness
His strength is made perfect in weakness
Gladly glory in your infirmities
And do not fear any adversities
When you are torn and worn from battle
Angels will remove the rote rattle
Lift you up and attend to your sores
The bruises and scars from many wars
When you are dejected defeated and down
Remember God’s mercy will soon abound
He will carry you gently while you heal
The power of His Love you will surely feel
By the Grace of God you are who you are
His Grace imparted on you left no scar
You labored more abundantly than many
More than adequate which was plenty
By Grace you are saved thru Faith it is said
And not of yourself but a gift instead
One of many God bestows upon those
Who obey His commands even en throes
When you are weakened spiritually
Be rest assured of God’s right remedy
Nothing that happens is ever too large
Be still and know that He is in charge
By your side He will always be ready
To raise you right up and keep you steady
By Grace through Faith you belong to Him
A loving gift He confers not on a whim

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️❤️❤️
General Mike Flynn (@GenFlynn):
“Prayer is the most powerful weapon known to man. I’ve seen it firsthand. Before heading into combat, even those who weren’t men of faith would fall silent and pray, because we all knew the reality: we might not come back. In those silent moments, prayer anchored us, gave us strength, and reminded us of what we were fighting for. That is why the very first argument in our Bill of Rights was freedom of religion. This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian values, and our founders were fearless in defending them. We must be just as fearless today.”

WARRIOR WEDNESDAY – DEDICATED TO STEVIE
RISE UP PRAYER WARRIORS
In the morning when you arise
Thank God for the lovely sunrise
Thank God you have the eyes to see
Thank God through Him you are set free
So many are suffering in various ways
From family problems to general malaise
From discouragement to deep depression
Hearts, minds, and souls suffer repression
Each day God asks you to boldly come
To the Throne of Grace and beat the drum
Sing Praise to our God – Sing Praise
To our Deliverer – Our voices we raise
God told us to pray unceasingly
Give Glory Honor and Praise to He
Bring our petitions and lift them up
So that all may drink from the Blessing Cup
When you are troubled the Body suffers
Take it to God and pray for others
When we reach out and pray for one another
We bless father mother sister and brother
Our own concerns become less of a bother
When we reach out and touch another
So Rise Up Prayer Warriors and shout
Defeat the enemy roundabout
Send him back to the dry places of doom
Back off and prevent his message of gloom
Declare your victory over all that prevails
Defeat his plan and all it entails
Our nation has been attacked mercilessly
Over a long span of time most relentlessly
It is time to defeat that father of lies
It is time for Prayer Warriors to rise
‘Go To The Quiet’ if it need be
To replenish and refresh on bended knee
You must be courageous and strong
To fight this battle all the day long
Rise Up Prayer Warriors and come to their aid
For many who are lacking let hope be staid
For those who are allegedly down and out
Sing Praise – Declare Victory – and Shout
Decked in your Armor fight the good fight
Send our enemy and his minions to flight
Give it your all and you will soon see
And taste the blessings of Victory!!!

This morning I read an opinion piece by the mayor of London that said the 400-800 K folks who turned out in London were right wing extremists.
The “Guardian”, I believe. Yes, that represents the remaining ethnic English citizens of London who don’t want their European ancestry (such as it has become) to die out.
They are 70% of the way here in the US.
Perhaps we should adopt that song as well.
