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 †

Hello Fellow Treepers,
As always, in the interests of promoting high culture here at the Treehouse, may I present * drumroll please * …..
Thunderstruck – The farm version. (very well done, originally by Jim Crenshaw, with this new version by Steve’n’Seagulls)
I actually got up and danced to this right in my living room earlier tonight! Redneck Americana folk music at its finest! And the last time I danced like that was at a Trump Rally several years ago.
Wishing all here a Happy Sunday!
Well, shucks friend Phoenix — sure looks like y’all done yer’selves real good!! Thanks!
Glad to oblige. Any time, my friend!
Looks like my initial reply went walkabout . . . I’ll apologize in advance for the double post in case it shows up.
Sure looks like ya’all done yer’selves up real good friend Phoenix . . . 🙂
Wow, phoenix!! If my legs still moved fast, I’d be doing the same…
As it is, my toes are tapping and I am dancing with your in spirit, girl 👍🏻😁
LOL! Love them. Haven’t seen them in a while. Thank you!
Israel Update:
My Israel update is a video of General Amir Avivi from Israel. This is an extraordinary man who knows the IDF better than most of everybody. The odd thing is that he was a pianist and chose a military career. He formed a group of tens of thousands ex-IDF officers many high ranks who observe, investigate and propose to the top of the leadership of the nation.
He is predicted the 10/7 and the war and he also predicted the relatively easy success with Hezbollah in Lebanon. It’s not that he is prophetic. He simply knows the capabilities of Israel and the weaknesses too. This is not short but it gives a complete concept of what going on. ‘
This is a real quality assessment.
Before I am posting it I must report that in Iran the regime is now apparently is massacring the protesters. I posted only a couple of videos at my Rumble channel but the opposition is reporting on 2,000-2,500 murdered in the last 48 hours. There is no way to verify the numbers but they sure are opening fire and I saw it on more than one video and posted one a few minutes ago.
There is also a report that Trump is looking at his military options. This may mean that we in Israel will be under another attack if the situation escalates. But Trump warned them not to do it and Trump hates to be ignored and defied. One of his options is also to ask Israel to attack rather than do it himself. My prayers are for the brave Iranians. God help and protect them and make them victorious.
I had to cover this because I don’t know if US media is covering it properly.
Here is the video about Israel. It worth your time if you want to really understand where it all stands objectively. It will make you more informed than many.
Note: He is talking about the Oslo Accord, a terrible deal that Israel under the left did with the Palestinians and resulted in the Intifada that is an uprising literally but practically a terror wave that killed over a 1000 Israelis. He also said the word “Kotel” which is the Hebrew to The Western Wall. Just some clarifications in case it confused you.
Clarification : The word Maccabim that he used at 15:00 referees to the Jewish army of heroes that managed to win against the Roman Empire in some major battles. He said: “We are Maccabim”.
Yes David, topple the regime without sending in troops. Is it possible?
Not much support in the USA for boots on the ground long term……we’ve been there, done that.
There can be strikes on the leadership and communication capabilities. No one can compete the job other than Iranians. No one know how this round is going to end.
David, as with Israel in the terrible October 7 barbarism and after, my prayers were intense and continuous as we watched Hamas honchos surgically eliminated one after another.
Last night an Iranian commander was so eliminated aged while he was in his car. And all I said to my daughter when I texted her the news was “Israel”.
I pray this is true, dear friend.
I pray your mighty forces are already making their presence felt.
I am leaving for you an article I found yesterday in an Israeli publication.
The losses are terrible, but there will never be a more propitious time to overthrow the inhuman monsters of Islam than at this moment President Trump will not leave courageous Iranians on their tens of thousands to be massacred at will. I am convinced of this. What he says he will do, he will do. He warned them.
God and His angels be with the Iranian people fighting for their lives, and all who join the noble, rightgeous battle https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f495.svg https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f64f-1f3fb.svg
https://israel365news.com/415275/iranian-christian-jeremiahs-prophecy-is-unfolding-in-irans-uprising/
Thank you. Iranian sources say that a Commander of a missile Unit was eliminated by a drone on his car. A drone that originated in Iran. If this is true then it’s likely Israel.
Yes I pray for the Iranian people to be safe and protected and win against this regime.
In a couple of days we will see if Trump or Israel act. Israel is on a high alert and Bibi had a meeting in the IDF’s Headquarters on Saturday that is unusual. But if the US attacks there there can be a response against Israel, so we have to be prepared.
The Mossad must be very busy in Iran. The leadership of Iran is on the scope.
The best they can do, I think, is smuggle tones of weapons and arm the opposition.
I have thought as well perhaps weapons were being smuggle in. And who knows if anything else…
To overthrow the mullahs (they have the faux Christian Carter to thank for that) is in the very best interest of the entire ME. Let me leave for you President Trump’s incredible speech to the Arab American Summit in 2917, David.
I keep remembering it because he was in effect outlining his ME policy. Only in retrospect…through that term, the DS overthrow of the 2020 election (believing erroneously he was gone forever), and his return where he picked up where he left off…can I appreciate how forward thinking he was then and how deliberate his doctrine has turned out to be.
I don’t know in what form President Trump will come to the aid of the Persians, nor do the Islamists. But his word is his bond. And he has given it.
(A side note…I remember very well after the overthrow of the Shah, Reza Pahlavi trained as a young man at the now decommissioned Reese Air Force Base on the outskirts of my hometown in Texas. And here he is nearly fifty years later ready to take up leadership of the country which was so violently overthrown. A long time in the wilderness.)
https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-statements/president-trumps-speech-arab-islamic-american-summit/
And the video if you prefer.
I was overwhelmed not only for his words, but for his keen realization that there were translators for non English speakers. And in so understanding, he moderated the speed of his speech so that not one word or nuance of the powerful address would be missed.
I will always believe this was the finest, most deliberate and consequential speech he has to date delivered.
His blessings and protections always, dear friend 🙏🏻 💕
Thank you and God bless you. I will watch the speech later today.
👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
Well said- and agree wholeheartedly –
May God continue to bless our President Trump 🙏
Let it be so-
Glory to God
Amen. AMEN!!! 🙏🏻
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 . . .
Thanks, Garrison.. excellent choices. Had me worried when Parting Glass seemed to be “missing”.. and then, there it was.
7 d My bad, benzy. Sorry for the inattention (aka brain-fart) 🙂 . . . Sometimes I’m so focused on choosing selections from Voces8 that I forget. This Parting Glass version is nonetheless a vital component of our customary benediction. Your humble curator’s occasional brain-flatulences notwithstanding . . . 🙂
Good Sabbath, Garrison and fellow Treepers 🙏🏻💕
In this world where it is impossible to retreat from the demonic organized mayhem, I am so grateful for our small sanctuary here.
I have listened to the voices of these three siblings whom God graced with such a beautiful gifts. This one never impacted me as much as it does now, and I’ve listened to it quite a few times this week. I hope it will do the same for everyone who listens.
Mercies, Grace, and Blessings to all 🙏🏻💕
Below is a window of such beauty, a virtue which feeds the soul. The artistry of the artisans which created it is a thing of the past. And we are the poorer for the absence of such talents. Thank goodness this remains intact.

Cleansing for the soul in this noisy world. Peace, be still. So grateful for His Love and those who share it…everywhere.
Blessed Sunday, everyone.
You are so welcome, Katie 💕
Beautiful –
Thank you, Betsy
and God’s blessings to you and yours!
Amen
In this weary world, we truly do need to look up and focus on the good, the beautiful, and spiritually sustaining, all of which the enemy of God, and his followers, would rather we not do.
Thank you, my friend. And to you and yours 💕
Your kind words, as is often the case, carry the tone of pure truth. This space is indeed very special, although I’ve begun to fear that there are some—outliers to us—who see any disagreement with their fixed political opinions as wrong-thought. Being able to rise above is, however, a good manifestation of pure spirits . . . of which we have plenty in our civil and resilient collection of Treeper friends who visit here.
Re: your music selection. From the first moments of their splendid performance you could see how the pureness of their spirits was shaping their music. These two brothers and their sister loved to sing together. And, in their music, we can all see the pureness of their spirits—the mysterious “something” the Spanish refer to as “duende”. So thanks, dear friend Bet. Be blessed and be well, love. 🙂
Yes, dear friend….duende
They are so in tune with one another, and it is a joy to see it as well as hear how almost super naturally their individual voices blend into one beautiful sound.
I am weary, Garrison, of all the madness, and prayerful for those who in need of that peace which seems so elusive now. I know I am not alone. There can be only one source of the psychotic displays of anger. And that is the presence of demons which fill the absence of the Holy Spirit…that vacuum which is abhorred and will not remain empty.
It is inexplicable to me that most of these frightful individuals seem to be women. Have you noticed that? Where there are men, they seem to retreat in the face of rightful authorities.
So glad to withdraw myself to this place. Small we may be, relatively speaking in the internet world, but I suspect there is not another place like it…one where we can gather among friends for support when we need it and know it will be showered on us with abandon.
By whatever means we each arrived, I know it was not serendipitous for any one of us. It is beautiful to contemplate.
You be well, too, Garrison.
Off to listen to more music on our classical station, calming at the end of another day. See you anon…😘
Very nice
Thanks for posting, Garrison! “May You Walk Gently” reminds me of the sort of song the Elves of Rivendell might sing, and it reminds me that someone just suggested that I go visit a nearby waterfall. And this, after I just saw a J.R.R. Tolkien meme, shortly after I’d been thinking about a dream I’d had about Tolkien three years ago. So everything taken together seems like a confirmation and reminder from Gandalf the Grey to “Stay on the path!”
Meme I saw on Gab appears below:

Hey Phoenix. Thanks for the kind words. Finding and then posting this music has always felt like a rewarding thing to do. When I came across Voces8 I knew their performances would be a good fit for our Sunday benedictions.
I’m very pleased that you find these selections worth your time. Kind words like this genuinely make this old guy’s day (or evening as it is). Be well and be blessed, friend. And have a wonderfully soulful Sunday . . . 🙂
Greetings Treepers! 🙏✝️🙏
A song for Sunday
Nice and mellow!
Yes, and one of their best even if not the best known song

Shoeing horses sure has changed. No more tailoring a metal shoe to fit their hoof and then nailing it on. Got all kinds of stuff going on there.
Hey, patty . . . On Youtube there’s a great scene from the doc “Heartworn Highways” showing a conversation between Townes Van Zant and his next door neighbor, “Uncle Sydney” who describes his work as a traveling farrier.
Townes was living in Austin’s “Clarksville” a formally black neighborhood that was, at the time (more than 50 years ago now) shared with hippies and musicians. Very interesting sequence.
Thanks, Garrison. I’ll check it out.

Gail Borden
(1801-1874)
American manufacturer and inventor of condensed milk, dies at 72
Biography: Gail Borden was an American inventor, surveyor, and publisher. He is best known for developing a method to condense milk, a process that significantly extended the product’s shelf life. This innovation was particularly crucial during the Civil War, providing a reliable source of milk to Union troops.
Prior to his work with condensed milk, Borden dabbled in a variety of ventures. He co-plotted the cities of Houston and Galveston in Texas, and served as the Collector of Customs at Galveston. Borden also co-founded a newspaper, the Telegraph and Texas Register, which was influential in advocating for Texas’s independence.
Despite initial failures and bankruptcy, Borden’s persistence led to his eventual success with condensed milk. His Borden Company became a significant American dairy brand and remained an enduring market presence only to eventually declare bankruptcy and be sold in 2020.

German physician, physiologist and co-originator of cell theory (Schwann cells; pepsin; metabolism), dies at 71
Biography: Theodor Schwann was a German physiologist who is best known for discovering the cell. He made a huge contribution to the field of biology by providing evidence that all living things are composed of cells.
Schwann studied medicine at the University of Bonn, and later went on to become a professor of physiology and histology at the University of Würzburg and the University of Liège.
He is credited with the discovery of the cell theory and first described the process of fermentation, which led to his discovery of the microbial origin of fermentation.

Biography: Pappy Boyington was a United States Marine Corps officer who was a fighter pilot during World War II. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for leading his squadron in combat against Japanese forces in the Pacific theater.
Boyington was assigned to the Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 214, which became known as the “Black Sheep Squadron.” He was shot down during a combat mission in January 1944 and was held as a prisoner of war until August of the same year. During his time as a prisoner, Boyington was awarded the Medal of Honor.
Following the war, Boyington returned to the United States and worked as a public speaker and consultant. He wrote a memoir about his time in the war, titled “Baa Baa Black Sheep,” which was later adapted into a television series.
11 January
Carl David Anderson
(1905-1991)
American physicist (1936 Nobel Prize for physics), dies at 85
Biography: Carl David Anderson was an American physicist, best known for his discovery of the positron in 1932 and the muon in 1936. He won the 1936 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the positron, an award which he shared with Victor Franz Hess who had discovered cosmic radiation.
Anderson’s discovery of the positron, which first appeared during experiments using cosmic rays as unexpected particle tracks in his cloud chamber, confirmed the theoretical possibility of a positron as predicted by Paul Dirac. The basis of this discovery was the research of Anderson’s classmate, Chung-Yao Chao.
Subsequently Anderson discovered the muon, initially known as the mu-meson, with his graduate student, Seth Neddermeyer. This was the first of many subatomic particles which would quickly disrupt the tidy conceptual schemes of particle physicists.

Met him once at a air show in Porterville ca! He was differently full of himself. JERK! was rude to my daughter that asked him for a autograph, He said buy something big and you might get one. wasn’t kidding!
that’s life!
Referring to Pappy Boyington (1912-1988) as a Jerk
Met Pappy Boyington once at a air show in Porterville ca! He was definitely full of himself. JERK! was rude to my daughter that asked him for a autograph, He said buy something big and you might get one, made her eyes well up to tears,he wasn’t kidding!
that’s life! I told her some people just rude for no reason! There better people here to meet! She asked who? I said you a course!
Orange and Green or Blue and Gold?
Blue & Gold!
Wow! Haven’t thought about the Porterville air shows in decades. I live a short mile due east of the airport. Those shows brought in a lot of money to Porterville every year. People came from all over the world.
My neighbor down the street, Tony Rowlette, used to fly his ultralight from his house to the airport to go flying in has prop plane.
Sadly, Tony was killed Jan 1, 2009, by two drunk illegal alien teenagers who fled back to Mexico to avoid all punishment.
I worked for Agri fly, and Crumbliss & Horton in Terra Bella in those years,, both owned by same owners. we had a lot to do with the airport.also remember John Travolta landed at airport, said this town is only good for a bathroom break. He didn’t say it in that kind of words!
The airport was busy until Hiller aviation, owner’s son in-law and test pilot,was killer in a flight test, Hiller sold out and moved.1983. s\Strange thing, The helicopters transmission was thrown away in the dump. A friend of mine found it, was only a few days after the crash. He kept it. Don’t know how they can done a full investigation, without all the parts. Cause of accident if I remember was determined over rev, causing loss of blades.
Didn’t know that about Hiller and why they left. I do recall that’s about when the Fly Ins stopped. Everyone around here blamed it on “king” Huffaker, the new City Manager the City Council hired who happened to hate the Porterville Area Pilots Association and the Fly Ins.

Wow! Calgary, Alberta separation petition signing event. For those that don’t know. According to Grok, Alberta produces 83-85% of Canada’s oil and 60% of it’s natural gas. That province also has significant rare earth deposits. Without the revenue from Alberta the Canadian government will be a dire straights.

Verse of the Day for Sunday, January 11, 2026
✟
“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:3 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR MATTHEW 5
Christ’s sermon on the mount. (1,2) Who are blessed. (3-12) Exhortations and warnings. (13-16) Christ came to confirm the law. (17-20) The sixth commandment. (21-26) The seventh commandment. (27-32) The third commandment. (33-37) The law of retaliation. (38-42) The law of love explained. (43-48)
3-12 Our Saviour here gives eight characters of blessed people, which represent to us the principal graces of a Christian. 1. The poor in spirit are happy. These bring their minds to their condition, when it is a low condition. They are humble and lowly in their own eyes. They see their want, bewail their guilt, and thirst after a Redeemer. The kingdom of grace is of such; the kingdom of glory is for them. 2. Those that mourn are happy. That godly sorrow which worketh true repentance, watchfulness, a humble mind, and continual dependence for acceptance on the mercy of God in Christ Jesus, with constant seeking the Holy Spirit, to cleanse away the remaining evil, seems here to be intended. Heaven is the joy of our Lord; a mountain of joy, to which our way is through a vale of tears. Such mourners shall be comforted by their God. 3. The meek are happy. The meek are those who quietly submit to God; who can bear insult; are silent, or return a soft answer; who, in their patience, keep possession of their own souls, when they can scarcely keep possession of anything else. These meek ones are happy, even in this world. Meekness promotes wealth, comfort, and safety, even in this world.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Verse of the Day – January 11, 2026 (Morning Prayer)

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.

BLESSED ARE YOU
Amen – Amen – I say unto you;
Gather together I am with you;
Remember what – for you – I have done;
To ensure you and I live forever as one!
Blessed are you who are poor in spirit;
The Kingdom of God is yours – albeit;
Blessed are you who mourn – in your hearts;
Sweet comfort for you – My Spirit imparts!
Blessed are you who are meek – and lowly;
For you shall inherit the earth – most wholly;
Blessed are you who hunger and thirst;
For righteousness you will be filled and first!
Blessed are you who are merciful – and kind;
Mercy shall be yours – so keep that in mind;
Blessed are you who are purest in heart;
For you will see God from the very start!
Blessed are you who strive to make peace;
As children of God – your joy will not cease;
Blessed are you who are persecuted for right;
The Kingdom of Heaven will be in your sight!
Blessed are you who men revile and persecute;
Relentless for My name’s sake they prosecute;
Saying in all manner of evil you’re defiled;
I will exalt you – you’ll not be beguiled!
Blessed are you who have suffered for Me;
For great your reward in Heaven will be;
As prophets of old suffered greatly as well;
Like them, you profit – your riches will swell!
Be not dismayed – there is right judgment;
Be not distressed – for any begrudge meant;
Know that I see what is hidden from sight;
As in the last days, it is I who is light!
Blessed are you who are faithful and true;
I am He who can see the good that you do;
Truly you are – blessed and holy you be;
Living in paradise – someday with Me!

The Lords Prayer
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.
Amen.

Psalm 29:1-4, 9-10
The Lord will bless his people with peace.
Give to the Lord, you sons of God,
give to the Lord glory and praise,
give to the Lord the glory due his name;
adore the Lord in holy attire.
The Lord will bless his people with peace.
The voice of the Lord is over the waters,
the Lord, over vast waters.
The voice of the Lord is mighty;
the voice of the Lord is majestic.
The Lord will bless his people with peace.
The God of glory thunders,
and in his temple all say, “Glory!”
The Lord is enthroned above the flood;
the Lord is enthroned as king forever.
The Lord will bless his people with peace.

If you saw my post about buying my grandnephews nerf mini guns for Christmas next year.
I mean, that’s the kind of thing that uncles do!
I texted it out on the family thread so I could share it with all that would be involved.
Well, the younger Max’s wife Areal who has three boys was not amused!
Her response was: “I think we’ve been spelling Hains wrong all these years!”
Sister Lorrie was equally perturbed!
But like I said, what uncles made for. Making them pay for their raising.

i am so happy to hear this molon ♥️
I believe NOAA is still fabricating its own weather data, by use of deliberate rounding errors and by failing to update all of their reporting stations until after summary maps have been produced. There are numerous other anomalies in their statistical data but I just want to let Treepers know that NOAA is still fudging data to support the Globalists ‘Climate Change Warming’ lie. We have not cleaned out our Federal Government nearly as well as we should have by now.
I hope this was the place to launch a diatribe about a subject that won’t die as long as propaganda continues to reach more people than the truth. We can look for ‘Climate Change’ to re-emerge as the Democrap’s favorite election issue before the Summer is over. Never let a successful issue die, no matter how unrealistic it becomes, eh? Most folks are still believing this longtime grammar school fairy tale.
At LEAST 1/3rd of their temperature “data” is made up. It comes from “ghost stations”. IOW stations which they are no longer actually using the data from. They take data from another station nearby the “ghost station” that happens to be in an urban area where temperatures always run 2-4 deg. higher than that of the unused station, and attribute it to the dead station.
The whole objective of NOAA for the last 20 years or more has been to make temperature to appear to ramp up at the same rate as Atmospheric CO2 goes up.
This is THE guy to follow concerning “ghost stations”. He goes all over the country identifying them.

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.

Acts 10:34-38
Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered in the house of Cornelius, saying: “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him. You know the word that he sent to the Israelites as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all, what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.”

Matthew 3:13-17
Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?” Jesus said to him in reply, “Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed him. After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
This is going viral.
