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 †

Good middle of the night on this CURSDAY, Garrison 😘 Well this is a nice change up!! Who would have guessed that the local Liverpool lads back in the 60s would write such memorable and enduring music?
Certainly not my British husband when back in the day he and his mate would bicycle to the Mersey River, take the ferry over it to the Cavern where the Beatles were performing just before they broke into worldwide acclaim, fame, and fortune. Those were the days all right…very enjoyable.

What about the good gulls?

Yep, Every Day!
All the more 😌💕

😢 There is no doubt they still share their love with us till the end. ❤️
An oldie, I know, but……if a picture is worth a thousand words………

Good afternoon Soaz. Love this photo, and of course, brought tears. Snif, snif!
How are Louisa and Olive and the rest of your fur babies? You can get a rundown on my “Cat Central” from a reply to Betsy’s images. It is lengthy. It was cold this morning so I thought about the nice winter weather in the deserts of Arizona and of you.
Praying you and your family have a most blessed and wonderful afternoon and evening.
Many thanks, Pat. Blessings upon you and yours also. The “kids” are all doing well. Some of the real oldsters are slipping, but still enjoying life.
Heading off to check on your crew in replies! ❤️
My sweet hairdresser calls gray hair “wisdoms”. Which I love…and yes, I do remember.
Ha ha ha
We called these windows –
air conditioning!
I still miss wing windows.
Me too, Truly! You could aim them right at you face. And in the desert, a wet towel draped over it, made a mini evaporative cooler.
Oh do I remember those. They were great for getting the air flowing in your face.
Birthday Boy and friend 💕
So sweet I just had to repost 💕

Betsy Jones, your puppy pix are “off the chain” today!
Oooooooo!!! High praise, sis. Thank you 😁
Oh Bets
You sure have my waterworks going today. Not a day goes by that I don’t have a memory pop into my head of one of my heavenly pets. Never 😢
Oh Corny, you got me with this one. My goodness you did, girl 😪
*sniff*
Good afternoon Betsy. This one got to me big time! Tissues handy along with the video of dogs choosing their owner. Again you have provided wonderful Cursday images.
Favorites are Hey You ! Good morning, should be everyday recognizinf LE, Will you still love me?, dog smiling with the cow hat, Chewbocca’s baby pic, the black and white little and large and the dog shaming with the UPS driver.
Same old, same old here at “Cat Central”. Beau and the three kittens were all in bed with me last night. It was pretty cold here. Do not know where Cleo was, but she may have been on the bed between some pillows. She does that during the day sometimes. Maizie and Pumpkin, the rebel, are still fascinated with water. Percy is getting in my lap much more than she used to. Cleo is getting friendlier as well. She will let me hold her for short periods of time.
The kittens are going to be much bigger than their mom. their “murder mittens” are huge compared to mom. They are now 8 months old, but I think they are continuing to grow. Their father must have been a large Tom, and I think quite possibly had Maine Coon in him. They still hide and attack me when I least expect it. Had to move them all out of the bedroom the other night at 1:00 AM, as they decided that was as good a time as any to play with me. So I wandered around the bedroom trying to catch them and put them out so I could get some sleep. Right now Cleo is here in my office keeping me company, as usual.
Update on the kitten the Professor took home. She is getting along well with the other cat. Kathy, the professor, said she has large paws and is getting bigger and her hair is getting longer. She was the only black kitten in the litter. the only white she has is a spot on her chest which I noticed is just like a white spot on Cleo’s chest. Her son got a Belgium Mellenois (spelling ?) retired K-9 (named BoLLo), and the kitten promptly decided he was her bed and lays on top of him. Fortunately he was raised around cats, but looks at her son with the pleading eyes to get this cat off of me. She was the only kitten that Beau would let sleep with him when the kittens were little.
I did not get on the computer much this weekend. I did see the Caturday images and you never disappoint! They were wonderful. Thank you.
Praying you and your family have a blessed afternoon and evening.
This is a post, Pat,with OODLES of changes and good news!!! 😍
The firs which caught my eye was Beau in bed with you AND the kittens!! By the way, when are they no longer kittens??
Can’t help but suddenly remember Ogden Nash…
“The trouble with a kitten is that
Eventually it becomes a cat.”
Just wondering what age the cut off is…🤔😼
At any rate given the last update you allowed he wouldn’t share you or the bed with the little tykes. So this is glorious good news AND progress!!!
Ditto Percy the lap sitter. Also 😍!!! It sounds as if Cleo will get there one day. Little by little then all at once. Nothing more frustrating than wanting to hold a cat for some loving and not being able to. Here’s truly hoping that day will arrive (no crossed fingers emoji unfortunately but please imagine them because mine are).
I had to 😂 at the image of you herding cats in the middle of the night, although I am sure you weren’t.
And the wonderful update of your Professo’s adoptee. That one made me smile. Surely meant to be? I think definitely, and that makes my heart swell 💕
In late getting back today because our lovely Sarah Grace, on her way to uni in the autumn, came by for lunch and a too short visit. We didn’t see her before Christmas as she is so so busy with her church and nannying position where she is really cleaning up!! She is saving half and not spending the rest. Busy getting applications off for Arkansas or Baylor (where her mother and aunt went). Missing her dreadfully and so we take what time she can spare and are grateful, treasuring every second. Sands through the hourglass of the years we’ve had with her, down to the last few as she gears up for her life.
Another *sniff*… 💔
Such is life and the way it has always been…nobody warned me with my own children. Nobody warned my with my grands either…
Thank you for the uplifting catch up on your full house, dear sis. They truly make my day 😌💕
Great update, Pat. Can’t believe it’s been 8 months!
Moghrey Mie Betsy 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Good afternoon, dear Mr jay 😘
Mornin’ Dear Sis
I’m sure I wore out the grooves on my very first album – Meet the Beatles. My poor folks!
I will never be able to listen to, “Ferry Cross the Mersey,” without thinking of you and Chris!
I was the same.
I even had an English class at University of Texas with an honest to goodness hippy TA who dedicated two classes to listening to their Revolver album song after song while he stood at the chalkboard and scribbled what they were supposed to mean politically.
TOP THAT!!!! 😂
I Can’t!!! 😁
Afternoon, dear friend Bet. These Barrueco performances are among the best of several classical guitar recording. Who would have thought that these iconic Beatles popular songs would lend themselves so readily to transcriptions for classical guitar? I think Barrueco’s CD (photo on the selections) is still available, perhaps on Amazon. It’s a quite well done recording. Highly recommended. Be well, love.
Ahhh yes, the “lads” certainly wrote some fine music for all of us to enjoy
Mornin’ Dear Garrison
You have brought back some great memories for me. As a kid, my dad was always teasing me about my “beatlemania.”
But……after some of their music became more mainstream and even classical sounding, I sometimes caught him whistling to it! He was a very talented and prolific whistler, and we often whistled in harmony. Oh, how I miss that. Have to say – my mom wasn’t the biggest fan!😁
Afternoon, dear lady . . . You are completely correct in recognizing that music can help us create memories that are so dear to us that they seem fresh—even after decades have passed. I still vividly recall the comforting warmth of Prince’s dog house on that, long ago cold Ark. afternoon.

Somali Medicaid Fraud – continued
So yesterday I wrote about a Medicaid scam I saw on Watters’ Fox show where a somali visiting the doctor needed a translator (also a Somali, natch) to translate doctor’s diagnosis and care instructions to the patient.
Minimum 8 hours billable for the translator.
Turned out many of the billing doctors were fictional, so the entire 4 or 5 transaction escapade was simply a house-of-cards of fraudulent imaginary transactions, but Medicaid would disburse for them all
At the end I said “and you can bet both the patient and translator would bill for transportation (taxi) to and from the “doctor”
Well today Nick Shirley completed the picture on the transport side by identifying fraudulent medical care transport companies
It’s clear that they had some sharp, Medicaid-knowledgeable accountants run through all the typical Medicaid transactions associated with a routine medical visit and filed complete billing for each step in a normal visit.
Since it’d be easy to do this reverse-thinking billing fraud anywhere, bet that it goes on ALL OVER the US, not just by those Somali monkeys
Nick Shirley’s next find? 1,000s of fraudulent Minnesota transport companies
YouTuber Nick Shirley says Minnesota’s non-emergency medical transportation system has become a sprawling fraud operation hiding in plain sight, alleging that more than 1,000 transport companies are billing taxpayers for services that appear not to exist.
In a video posted Monday, Shirley said his yearlong review of state records, site visits, and documentation — conducted with a researcher he identified only as David — points to a network of shell transportation outfits clustered around adult daycare centers, charter schools, and Medicaid-funded programs, particularly in the Twin Cities.
“To have that many non-emergency medical transportation companies, it’s not possible that they can transport that many people,” David said, describing repeated visits to a Minneapolis facility where vans “have not moved one inch in an entire year,” despite ongoing billing.
Shirley framed transportation as “the belly of the beast,” arguing that transport providers appear to work in tandem with adult care centers to generate paper appointments and reimbursements.
The allegations land amid a widening federal crackdown.
The Department of Health and Human Services announced last week it froze child-care payments to Minnesota over fraud concerns, and federal prosecutors have charged 78 defendants to date.
Similar whistleblower complaints have surfaced in Maine and Ohio involving Somali-led health providers, and on Monday HHS disclosed new scrutiny tied to foreign officials.

Nick Shirley Video Says MN Has More Than 1,000 Fraudulent Medical Transport Companies
Then the bigger fat is in resident health care for the aged, where they can bill about $250,000 per year per patient
PresTrump’s fraud czar better be ordering up some more assistants and underlings, it’s gonna be a long haul
Democrats are going to fight any investigations tooth and nail.
If this fraud gets fully and provably exposed democrats and possibly republicans who benefit from it will do anything to deny it.
Media has already tried to ignore it and make it go away by attacking Nick Shirley.
It is not that the media do not want to do their job………it is that the media view their job as protecting the democrats from anything and everything because they support them in all they do.
Nim
So infuriating! I’m sure all Medicare recipients noticed that the premiums for their supplements rose bigly. Mine surely did.
I resent funding this fraud being perpetrated on American citizens. I want it to stop, the thieves incarcerated, and the ill gotten gains restored!
This is from tonight’s European Conservative site . . .
We should now be able to recognise these anti-Israel crusaders, not as the allies of peace in the Middle East, but as the West’s enemies within. They have drunk the toxic cocktail of Islamism, Western self-loathing and leftist identity politics that declares white Jews are always oppressors, whatever is done to them, and non-white Palestinians must always be the victims, whatever they do.
While they are in retreat on other issues across the West, hating Israel has become the woke left’s last stand. That is why they still cannot recognise the truth, that the death cult of Hamas started the war on October 7th, is responsible for all the suffering that has followed, now refuses to disarm, and remains committed to repeating those atrocities “again and again”. Israel must be supported when it inevitably has to deal with Hamas again.
Rather than facing up to that harsh reality, too many European governments have instead given succour and support to Hamas by recognising the fantasy state of Palestine.
Time we all recognised the fact that President Trump’s breakthrough was made possible by the outstanding military successes of the Israeli Defence Forces, which finally forced the Arab states to come to the table and press Hamas to give up the hostages. We should recognise, too, the fortitude of Benjamin Netanyahu’s Israeli government, in the face of mounting odds and multiplying enemies.

Summertime Blues
Eddie Cochran
1959
Though Eddie Cochran was only twenty-one when he died, he left a lasting mark as a rock and roll pioneer. Cochran zeroed in on teenage angst and desire with such classics as “C’mon Everybody,” “Something Else,” “Twenty Flight Rock” and “Summertime Blues.” A flashy stage dresser with a tough-sounding voice, Cochran epitomized the sound and the stance of the Fifties rebel rocker.
Cactus, you and I must be of the same vintage. I always enjoy your musical history posts.
There is a monumentous date coming up… February 3rd, the Day the Music Died. I look forward to your tribute.
Count me in too, birdnerd. So often, I play the tunes in my head that MMW includes in the post. Great nostalgia. 🎶 ❤️

Too cool, rah! When I was a little kid, my Daddy let me ride the ‘man lift’ to the top of a grain elevator.
We did not tell my Mother.
I’m sure you didn’t. Doesn’t matter if your getting on or off or just riding up through the different floors you’ve gotta be paying attention or your gonna get hurt on those things.
I rode one many years ago when I worked in an old chemical plant. You didn’t want to have tools or other objects sticking out of your pockets. It was all about focusing on your immediate surroundings. There were stories going around of guys who neglected to. It was a bad day for them!

Harry Nilsson

American pop and rock singer-songwriter (“Everybody’s Talkin'”; “One”; “Without You”), dies of a heart attack at 52
Biography: Born in the Bedford–Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, and raised in a broken home, Harry dropped out of school a moved to Los Angeles. He found work programming computers for a bank at night, and pursued a singing career by day. He possessed a wide vocal range, and fell into songwriting when improvising forgotten lyrics.
After working on demo recordings and releasing a few singles, and having The Monkees cover his song “Cuddly Toy”, he signed a major label contract with RCA and resigned from the bank. His early RCA albums were critical, if not commercial, successes, and caught the ear of Beatles press agent Derek Taylor. Soon after, Paul McCartney and John Lennon endorsed his work, and his career took off.
He did not enjoy performing, and never toured. Part of his recording process involved multi-tracking his own voice in a choral fashion, which could not be replicated on stage.
His biggest hit singles, both of which won Grammy Awards, were cover versions – Fred Neil’s “Everbody’s Talkin'” (from the film Midnight Cowboy) and Badfinger’s “Without You” (on his career defining album Nilsson Schmilsson). As a songwriter, his biggest hit was by Three Dog Night covering “One”.
The follow up work to his biggest success was decidedly less commercial, the album Son of Schmilsson contained lyrics not suitable for broadcast, and then he made an orchestral album of torch song standards (A Touch of Schmilsson in the Night). His increased drink and drug usage began affecting him, and culminated with him working through severely injured vocal chords on his Pussycats album, produced by John Lennon during his notorious ‘lost weekend’ in Los Angeles.
After Lennon’s murder, Nilsson largely stopped making new music and became a gun control advocate. His musical output was mostly concentrated on film soundtracks.
In 1976, he married for his third time, to an Una O’Keefe, an Irish woman who was a student-waitress when they met at an ice cream parlor in New York City in 1973. With her, he had 6 of his 7 children.
Bankruptcy and a 1993 heart attack motivated him to get back to recording in order to support his family. He was working on an album when a second heart attack in 1994 ended his life. 25 years later, his finished vocals were given some backing music, and the album “Losst and Founnd” was released.
For the Love of Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson, a tribute album featuring Nilsson’s songs performed by Ringo Starr and Stevie Nicks, Brian Wilson, Aimee Mann, Randy Newman, Jimmy Webb, and others, was released in 1995, with proceeds benefiting the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence.
A documentary film,” Who Is Harry Nilsson (And Why Is Everybody Talkin’ About Him)?” was produced in 2006.

Dolores O’Riordan
(1971-2018)
Irish musician and singer-songwriter (The Cranberries – “Zombie”; ,”Linger”), drowns in the bath at 46
Biography: Dolores O’Riordan was an Irish singer and songwriter, best known as lead vocalist and lyricist for the Cranberries. The band earned worldwide fame with their hit single, “Zombie,” in 1994. The song was inspired by the Troubles, the conflict in Northern Ireland from the late 1960s to 1998, in which more than 3,500 people were killed.
The Cranberries released a total of eight studio albums, first coming to fame in 1993 with their debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? They followed this with No Need to Argue, which featured “Zombie” and was their best-selling album. O’Riordan also released two solo albums, one in 2007 and the other in 2009.

A leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched the leper, and said to him, “I do will it. Be made clean.” The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean. Then, warning him sternly, he dismissed him at once. He said to him, “See that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.” The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter. He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to him from everywhere.

Happy Thursday to you Idaho!
Mornin corney☘️
And a beautiful morning to you. Friend! Supposed to be mid 70’s today. Whoopie!
From the comments: “This beautiful piece was composed following the model of a Scottish Lament. The originator, Jay Ungar did not have the Am. Civil War in mind while he was at the Ashokan Camp for fiddle and dancing music, (a summer arts program), at the Ashokan Field Campus of SUNY New Paltz. Jay Ungar was, in part, inspired by his journey through Scotland where he came up with the idea of writing a tune to conclude the summer arts program–his wife actually suggested the song’s title. And so Ungar and Mason performed this with Fiddle Fever—recorded the song, including it as part of their 1983 album Waltz of the Wind, (nice album all around). Ken Burns, a year later was searching for a song for the documentary The Civil War–and it became the haunting melody forever associated with the story. For Ungar, the fact that “a Scottish lament written by a Jewish guy from the Bronx” would become the de facto anthem of The Civil War tells of how emotional connections can be made in surprising ways. I have played the tune myself and agree: it has the capacity to engage one’s bittersweet memory.”

Verse of the Day for Thursday, January 15, 2026
✟
“I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”
Psalms 34:4 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR PSALMS 34
David praises God, and encourages to trust him. (1-10) He exhorts to fear. (11-22)
1-10 If we hope to spend eternity in praising God, it is fit that we should spend much of our time here in this work. He never said to any one, Seek ye me in vain. David’s prayers helped to silence his fears; many besides him have looked unto the Lord by faith and prayer, and it has wonderfully revived and comforted them. When we look to the world, we are perplexed, and at a loss. But on looking to Christ depends our whole salvation, and all things needful thereunto do so also. This poor man, whom no man looked upon with any respect, or looked after with any concern, was yet welcome to the throne of grace; the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The holy angels minister to the saints, and stand for them against the powers of darkness. All the glory be to the Lord of the angels. By taste and sight we both make discoveries, and have enjoyment; Taste and see God’s goodness; take notice of it, and take the comfort of it. He makes all truly blessed that trust in him. As to the things of the other world, they shall have grace sufficient for the support of spiritual life. And as to this life, they shall have what is necessary from the hand of God. Paul had all, and abounded, because he was content, #Php 4:11-18|. Those who trust to themselves, and think their own efforts sufficient for them, shall want; but they shall be fed who trust in the Lord. Those shall not want, who with quietness work, and mind their own business.
11-22 Let young persons set out in life with learning the fear of the Lord, if they desire true comfort here, and eternal happiness hereafter. Those will be most happy who begin the soonest to serve so good a Master. All aim to be happy. Surely this must look further than the present world; for man’s life on earth consists but of few days, and those full of trouble. What man is he that would see the good of that where all bliss is perfect? Alas! few have this good in their thoughts. That religion promises best which creates watchfulness over the heart and over the tongue. It is not enough not to do hurt, we must study to be useful, and to live to some purpose; we must seek peace and pursue it; be willing to deny ourselves a great deal for peace’ sake. It is the constant practice of real believers, when in distress, to cry unto God, and it is their constant comfort that he hears them. The righteous are humbled for sin, and are low in their own eyes. Nothing is more needful to true godliness than a contrite heart, broken off from every self-confidence. In this soil every grace will flourish, and nothing can encourage such a one but the free, rich grace of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The righteous are taken under the special protection of the Lord, yet they have their share of crosses in this world, and there are those that hate them. Both from the mercy of Heaven, and the malice of hell, the afflictions of the righteous must be many. But whatever troubles befal them, shall not hurt their souls, for God keeps them from sinning in troubles. No man is desolate, but he whom God has forsaken.
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.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
SETTLE ME, LORD
My heart is rapidly pounding
My state of affairs confounding
I am shaking/quaking beyond belief
Whatever I try I find no relief
Something has disturbed my peace
The turmoil inside just will not cease
My energy level is dangerously low
What it is that is broken I do not know
Nothing should change my resolve
I must fight to defeat delete dissolve
This interruption disruption in my life
Meddling unsettling pedaling strife
Alone in the darkness I tend to shiver
Lacking control I slither and quiver
What is wrong with me I cannot say
But it just keeps on and won’t go away
Settle Me, Lord help me to rest
In this conditionI cannot do my best
Whatever it is from it wash me clean
Teach me a lesson from which to glean
Your thought process has brought you here
You gave up your authority my sweet dear
I gave you calming music you listen not
You let ‘it’ control you and you got caught
There is no medicine that can cure ‘it’
There is no formula than can detour ‘it’
I gave you the power to stop this attack
I gave you the means to pick up the slack
Exercise, breathing, and thought control
All of these will again make you whole
Emotional turmoil blocks rational thought
Eliminate it and you will be as you ought
Change your attitude change your life
Positive thinking diminishes strife
Movement replaces emotional confusion
All of ‘it’ is actually an illusion
You can take control and beat your distress
By changing your thoughts eliminate stress
By exercising you switch your concentration
Your physical movement serves as activation
Your shiver and shake ceases to be
Your uncertainty dissolves instantly
Your mind directs your body to move
And your anxiety begins to improve
God gave us the ability to heal mind body spirit
We just need to learn how to clear it not fear it
The body does what the mind commands
It moves it rests it contracts it expands
So it is with emotions as well with control
Our thoughts can trigger disconnect or cajole
Our attitude plays a part in this scenario as well
It is where we decide we are going to dwell
Negative thinking brings about negative outcomes
The opposite is true and to what it succumbs
When we take authority of events in life
We eliminate the stress and the strife
Whatever the problem or issue that disturbs you
It is nothing you and God together cannot subdue
When God enters the situation the solution is clear
You will have eyes to see and ears to hear
So Settle Me, Lord as only You can
Help me to see and perfect Your plan
Take away the illusion of ‘it’
Cleanse me from all and every bit

Fiesta-world update…
spectacularly underwhelming is my opinion of the “Americana” design direction for 2026 – America’s 250th anniversary year and the company apparently put stunted-&-stuck-in-childhood people… likely DEI hired… in charge of this project who apparently hate America;
they deemed cartoons and a pinstripe the appropriate
homageaffront to the 250th year of the most exceptional country in history…So sad & embarrassing for the company 🤷♀️
{ https://fiestafactorydirect.com/collections/americana-pattern }
AND
{ https://fiestafactorydirect.com/collections/americana-banded }
They coulda-shoulda brought back the stars if this is the only new thing they could come up with.
They have attempted to appease me with the new Fiesta color for 2026…
God is in the details, and if not… the devil is.
I liked Fiesta-ware, but the 250th anniversary collection is frankly, quite ugly! Agree, it was probably designed by those who deem the USA a hateful country. Even if I had the finances to purchase, they would not get my money. Oh well, what a shame, as they could have produced some elegant 250th anniversary Fiesta-ware.
I asked them to do exactly that and they ignored me.
I’ve collected white scarlet and cobalt place settings and a few odd serving pieces – 99% thrifted – and they look really great together as the patriotic tablescape.
I almost never buy Fiesta new – the one advantage is their 5 year crack/chip replacement warranty. They are saving me money by producing designs (and colors) I don’t like… both now & later because I don’t think the ’26 americana will age well; I know me & I doubt I’ll someday want that at any rate.
I really like Fiesta in general (certain colors anyway I am selective) and have respected the company for its American-success-story history & longevity…
but that is *very disappointing*.
I did buy a set of the previous americana design bowls with stars, one each of 3 sizes, when the retired-discount went on 50% sale last year – sufficiently happy about those (the patterned pieces are always much more expensive)
{ https://fiestafactorydirect.com/collections/retired-decorated-2025/products/americana-stars-bowl-medium?variant= }
Also I forgot to show you the americana place setting for 4 they offer- also uninspiring IMHO; high contrast is elemental in our flag colors looking so good together, iconic and inspiring. No twilight OR white in their mix (which I suggest would look absolutely smashing instead)… so this combination looks drab & bland to my eye – the opposite of exceptional…
{ https://fiestafactorydirect.com/collections/mixed-sets/products/americana-classic-rim-12-piece-dinnerware-set-service-for-4?variant= }
I’m Bigly mad at them for dropping the ball so spectacularly, so…
I can wait however long it takes to get some lavender 2nd hand (or die trying) because I have enough plum to keep my purple needs satisfied, and (6+ years of) mulberry just retired so is going to start showing up 2nd hand in the near future too.
I’ll continue to enjoy my IMO superior combination of patriotic colors and feel extra good about not wanting their milquetoast version of “americana”.
Lilac is another story altogether… holy grail color for me, that one; my quest for it is unceasing.

Yesterday I lost my job and was told to vacate the property. I lost my temper and told my boss to “replace me” and she did. I just didn’t expect it all to happen so fast, a little over a week from the day I gave notice till I am told to “get out”. Me and Trouble are good for now but we could use a little divine intervention about now. Please pray for us…🖖🏻
Deplorable Grunt, I will pray for you and Trouble.
Heavenly Father please help Grunt to find another job and to receive Your peace and intervention as he begins a new chapter in his life. I know You have something wonderful planned for Grunt and Trouble and it will be on Your time frame not Grunts. I ask this all in your precious son, Jesus Holy name Amen.
Pray to your creator Grunt as He knows what you need and when you need it.
Amen
Been there, Deplorable. Probably most if not all of us have at one time or another. I know you will land on your feet, and it is my privilege to include you in my prayers. All the best. 🙏
Hey there Dear Friend
Such sweet pups! ❤️
Hello there, Lady❣️
-you came to mind 😁
Good evening Patience. I can understand that as well. There are days I just want to go sit and talk to the critters, instead of some humans.
Have a most blessed evening.
Good evening, Brat😜❣️
-A blessed and restful evening to you.

Many conflicting reports about the potential attack on Iran. It’s mainly speculation and mis-information.
”He will”, “He will not”, “Was persuaded to not”, “He is cheating them to surprise them”… Those are all speculations.
It may be that the situation is fluid and he himself is still collecting data for a better decision.
But here is my opinion: The American forces in the area are not sufficient to deal with the response and this includes a better defense of Israel and American bases in the area. The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is on its way. It takes about a week to arrive.
Additionally Trump wants results. Not just a show. Results may require more planning and challenging existing plans.
There are also hidden factors, for examples what is the Mossad doing?. I sense that they want to arm the protesters so that when the strikes occur it will follow with a revolution. Also following the leadership and locating them all.
So here we go, more speculations. We shall see. Sometimes more time pending is the better route.
God Bless the Forces who will help Iran to liberate itself.
Shalom
❤️🇮🇱.💪.🇺🇸❤️ David: I’m so relieved to see you here today.
I’ve missed you alot.
I’ve been looking at all the opinions (including those that you posted above and also a few days ago from the Iranian Israeli great intel gentleman).
And, I’ve been praying for all of you.
I can only imagine how nerve-wracking it is for all you Israelis and also for the Iranian protesters.
🙏 God Bless and Protect all involved. 🎶🙏
Am Israel CHAI! ❤️🇮🇱🎶

If ANY attack on Iran, I’d prefer it has nothing to do with protestors and simply be a Stage 2 in further debilitating Iran’s nuclear enrichment and ICBM programs.
Identify all factories and stores of uranium, partly enriched uranium, and ICBMs and related launch infrastructure and bomb them to smithereens (that’s a technical military term, mind you).
Also any conventional military arms they use to supply Yemeni troublemakers and gulf barricaders and Hamas and other muzzie fanatics and terrorists
One and done … everything that’s on the books as a problem to civilized societies – vaporize it
EVENING PRAYERS
Peace and Tranquility Prayers
Prayer for a Calm Heart
Lord of Peace, as evening falls, I seek the calmness only You can provide. Quell the storms of my mind and replace anxiety with Your peace. As the world quiets down, let my heart do the same. May Your presence envelop me so that I may know tranquility tonight and always. Amen.
Serenity at Day’s End
Heavenly Father, with the closing of this day, I ask for serenity. As the night sky displays its vast beauty, let my soul mirror its peacefulness. Help me to let go of the worries of the day and trust in Your loving care. May Your peace reign in my heart and home tonight. Amen.
Prayer for Restful Stillness
Dear God, in the stillness of this evening, I come to You seeking rest for my soul. Help me to lay down the burdens I’ve carried today and find comfort in Your arms. Grant me peace that passes understanding and a rest that restores my spirit. May my sleep be undisturbed and my dreams be sweet. Amen.
Nighttime Whisper for Peace
Creator of All, as I listen to the night’s gentle whisper, I ask for peace to settle over me. Let Your tranquility wash away the noise of the day. In this quiet hour, I lean on Your promise of peace, a heavenly balm to my weary soul. Keep me in perfect peace as I keep my mind stayed on You. Amen.
Prayer for Gentle Rest
Omnipotent and Gentle Lord, at the end of this day, I seek the gentle rest that You so lovingly provide. May my mind be at ease, my body relax, and my spirit find harmony. Help me to release every concern into Your capable hands and sleep in the assurance of Your protection and peace. Amen.
Amen, Duchess
Thank you. ❤️
