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 †

Posting for WP ✝️ 🇺🇸 🙏 Make America GOSPEL’d Again! 👍 🙏

AMEN !!
A familiar song from an unfamiliar singer and band
I would suggest to pay attention to this. This should be the best update hopefully.
When that was announced, I thought the same…but I do have a nagging remembrance of how PDJT has, in the past, ‘used’ the media…yet, given the divisive feelings in America, I cannot imagine that, now.
Praying for America, Israel, and most especially, the average and everyday Iranians, that said ‘enough’ and protested, putting their lives in danger…and the for those who did lose their lives.
“Used” the media is done BY EVERYONE.
May this first day of Passover be the end of this horrific war that began on Shemini Atzeret – (iirc).
April Fools….

I once told my grandsons there was planetary alignment and gravity would be reduced at precisely 307pm , I had them in chairs ready to jump at precisely 307 and when they jumped they said they had felt “It”.🤣🤣🤣

Yes, thankfully they do, aggie. My husband really likes one I make with green chili peppers and jack cheese. (and just a pinch of red 🌶).
Yum!!! 🙂
Garrison
I always serve it with a sour cream and cilantro sauce. Wish you were closer by. ❤️
Good morning Soaz. That sound delicious. Green chilis and jack cheese are two of my favorites.
I will now have to make one. Have a most blessed and wonderful day.
You too, Dear Pat.
So simple to make – some of the best food is!
What time is breakfast?🇺🇸😋🇺🇸
Anytime you can make it!

Morning, Jay… thanks for sharing
That quiche has my name on it! One of my favorite foods for any meal really – and easy to make from what’s in the pantry. Just making my first coffee to go with – thanks, Jay.

Great! Been there.
This is priceless!
Hey Garrison… have a great day
You, too, friend benzy. 🙂
Today is Passover. A day that families are gathering and celebrating the story of Exodus, from slavery to liberty.
A long meal. We read the Haggadah that is a book of all the prayers and songs and steps of this special evening.
One of the songs that we will sing and has been a part of it for thousands of years is literally saying that “Every generation they come on us to destroy (annihilate) us and God saves us”.
This is very applicable now. YouTube is full of versions. The versions are shorter than the actual song as written. So you may not hear the “every generation” part.
I choose here three versions: One is a mother and daughter singing it in three languages – Hebrew, English and Parisian.
The second version is more of a cartoon animation and the third is a short one with a soldier.
The version with the soldier. Short:

Happy Passover David, and thanks for your ongoing posts about events in the Middle East.

“Every generation they come on us to destroy (annihilate) us and GOD saves us”.
The LORD indeed Saves!
HE Saves HIS People & always Will!
The LORD gave “The Soldier” a Beautiful voice! He sings PRAISES to GOD!
May this soldier, & others, be BLESSED & kept safe!
Thank You, David, for these links! We’re looking forward to being together with everyone some day!
This is Truly an Amazing time in which we are living!
BLESSINGS on everyone this HOLY WEEK!
Thank you. ❤️
Unnecessary roughness.
Snide and pride at it’s best.

No offense to Jesse at all, but, I swear this looks like the mooch without her wig!
We know now that all these “dies of COVID” and “dies of COVID complications” deaths in reality were dies of the consequences of the intentionally death-inducing hospital ‘treatments’ they received.
My two cents… “they” knew that the standard treatments for the respiratory ailment of Covid (a very similar ailment to ARDS, only it did not respond to the standard treatments for ARDS).
Unfortunately, what we knew, the standard treatment for ARDS, was really a last ditch effort…ARDS is often a consequence of a deep and severe case of ‘sepsis’…
Those were horrible times.
I love that song! Before I was 28, I had driven every road mentioned…only we had the ‘dime’ for that bridge…
I cannot remember which Bridge though…Tappan Zee, Verrazzano or GW…?
Today, one needs a second mortgage to pay those tolls on those bridges!
aggie,
Used to take the Tappan Zee to visit cousins in NJ. Lit up at night it was a sight to behold.
And yes, need to rob a Brinks truck to use them today.
Soaz, drove the Tappan Zee to visit cousins in Suffern, New York. What a bridge it was. If memory serves me, didn’t they rebuild or refurbish the Tappan Zee many years back?
Good memory! Yes, I think they debated repair vs replacement and concluded that the bridge was beyond repair. Unfortunately, the New Tappan Zee Bridge is also named The Mario Cuomo Bridge.

Scott Joplin
(1868-1917)
American ragtime composer (The Entertainer, Maple Leaf Rag), dies at 48
Biography: Scott Joplin is known as the “King of Ragtime”, famous for such compositions like “The Maple Leaf Rag” and “The Entertainer”.
A travelling musician, Joplin was at the Chicago World Fair in 1893, where Ragtime became a national craze. He went on to publish his own Ragtime compositions before starting his own Opera Company and composing operas, self-publishing his ” Treemonisha” opera in 1911.
Joplin’s music was largely forgotten after his death in 1917 but rediscovered in the 1960s and 1970s. The film “The Sting” (1973) featured music inspired by Scott Joplin and Marvin Hamlisch won an Academy Award for his soundtrack. His version of the “The Entertainer” then became a top ten hit.

Charles R. Drew
(1904-1950)
American physician and surgeon who pioneered blood plasma research and developed the blood bank concept, dies in a car crash at 45
Biography: Called the ‘Father of the Blood Bank’ Charles R. Drew pioneered research into the process of blood transfusion and developed techniques for blood storage, including large-scale blood banks.
In 1940 he was appointed head of the ‘Blood for Britain program to send blood plasma to Britain to tend the wounded during WWII. Later Drew was put in charge of a successful three-month trial program in New York that turned into a blueprint for the National Blood Donor Service.
As an African American Drew faced considerable racial prejudice throughout his career. Prejudice he publicly objected to and fought against. He protested at the Blood Bank’s initial refusal to accept blood from African American and later its policy of segregating that blood. His career was cut tragically short after he died in an car accident in 1950.
An American pioneer and hero.

Good stuff! Bless these wonderful people.
Our farrier, we call him Uncle Ray, is coming to see Wheezie and Olive today for their pedicure. Louisa is the perfect lady: Olive not so much. She kicks “a bit.” In her defense, when she first came to live with us, her feet were very sore. In fact, she rarely moved more than necessary, just stood in one place. 😢
But, Uncle Ray has been able to reverse all that with frequent visits and trims specifically designed for her. It’s been 7 months since she arrived, and she runs and plays with Wheezie all day now! A good farrier is worth his weight in gold. (and costs about that! 😁)
Also, went back to look at late night Tuesday posts this am, and saw yours about clicking on the foreign language portion of Nim’s offering regarding the mama protecting the baby burro. It worked! Thanks so much. ❤️
You’re welcome of course, lady… you’ve got me loving the burros… now that’s how a fierce Mother behaves, am I right? … Humans could take a clue!
So glad you’ve got a good farrier too – wonderful to hear Olive’s healing treatments – and YOU! – have given her a new lease on life.
Blessings on ALL your Good Works!

Lots of ranches around here, as you might imagine. Sometimes I stop and “visit” with the cows. I always tell them they have the most beautiful faces and soulful eyes. (they do). And……I say, “I don’t eat you!”
good morning my friend .
I do the same thing here where I live .
have many ranches, big black beefy boys hangin around.
sometimes I pullover too on my way to my friends ranch.
I like to get close to them , love the smell.
and yup I talk to them too .
and i say “come here , i wanna eat you , i want you in my belly.’ 🤣😉
my friend , he sells the beef right there .
and the moms make good bakery goods.
i stopped buying the bakery goods all together.
do you believe that , me no cheesecake .
yup did it . doin it . no sugar
Peace to you my good friend

Don’t think I could give up cheesecake! As I got to be a member of the OGA (Old Ginks of America), I could no longer handle gluten. I’ve learned many ways to circumvent, so it’s no big deal, but cheesecake is ever so easy to make gluten free.
*My dear old dad was the founding member of the OGA!

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, April 1, 2026✟“For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.”1 John 3:20 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR 1 JOHN 3:20
The apostle admires the love of God in making believers his children. (1,2) The purifying influence of the hope of seeing Christ, and the danger of pretending to this, and living in sin. (3-10) Love to the brethren is the character of real Christians. (11-15) That love described by its actings. (16-21) The advantage of faith, love, and obedience. (22-24)
16-21 Here is the condescension, the miracle, the mystery of Divine love, that God would redeem the church with his own blood. Surely we should love those whom God has loved, and so loved. The Holy Spirit, grieved at selfishness, will leave the selfish heart without comfort, and full of darkness and terror. By what can it be known that a man has a true sense of the love of Christ for perishing sinners, or that the love of God has been planted in his heart by the Holy Spirit, if the love of the world and its good overcomes the feelings of compassion to a perishing brother? Every instance of this selfishness must weaken the evidences of a man’s conversion; when habitual and allowed, it must decide against him. If conscience condemn us in known sin, or the neglect of known duty, God does so too. Let conscience therefore be well-informed, be heard, and diligently attended to.
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
BE MY VOICE





CHILD NOT CHOICE
JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE 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.
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
LORD, YOU GIVE ME LIFE
I love you, Lord – You are my rock – my strength;
A fighting, forceful – unwavering – wavelength;
My buckler – my shield – who has led me sure;
Out of the darkness – into Your light so pure!
In You – I take refuge and rest assured;
From temptation and sin – I am secured;
You have rescued me from the evil throes;
In my distress – You have foiled my foes!
Lord – You Give Me Life – grace and peace;
The turmoil around me – You calmly cease;
Through the anguish and torment – You console;
In, through, and with You – I’ve become whole!
Through Your Spirit – I am comforted best;
In my weakness – I am surely put to the test;
I cried out in prayer – and You answered me;
With true repentance – You have set me free!
On the cross – the ransom You paid for my sins;
Your sacrifice there is where new life begins;
For it is in dying – we are born again;
And it is in rising – eternally – we gain!
Lord – You Give Me Life – Your Gift of Grace;
And I so long someday – to see Your Face;
For You are my light and my salvation;
The grantor of joyous jubilation!
You ask only I love as You have done;
You laid down Your life – for victory won;
If I deny myself – and follow You;
I will experience Your victory, too!
Just as it is in giving that we receive;
It is in dying to self – we will conceive;
An end to the turmoil – the gift of strife;
The fruits of our labor – the Crown of Life!
Lord – You Give Me Life – life eternally;
With an increase in faith – less fearfully;
I can rise to new heights of blessedness;
Because You are my life’s assuredness!

Psalm 69:8-10, 21-22, 31, 33-34
☘
Lord, in your great love, answer me.
For your sake I bear insult,
and shame covers my face.
I have become an outcast to my brothers,
a stranger to my mother’s sons,
because zeal for your house consumes me,
and the insults of those who blaspheme you fall upon me.
Lord, in your great love, answer me.
Insult has broken my heart, and I am weak,
I looked for sympathy, but there was none;
for consolers, not one could I find.
Rather they put gall in my food,
and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Lord, in your great love, answer me.
I will praise the name of God in song,
and I will glorify him with thanksgiving:
“See, you lowly ones, and be glad;
you who seek God, may your hearts revive!
For the Lord hears the poor,
and his own who are in bonds he spurns not.”
Lord, in your great love, answer me.

The President, one of Humphreys famous 6 frigate designs, was called the “Old Wagon” because it was a bit slower sailing compared to Humphreys’ 5 sister designs.

@ryanhallyall
SPC is specifically calling out the potential for fast-moving, long-track, strong tornadoes tomorrow across eastern Iowa, northern Illinois, and southern Wisconsin. Storm motions over 50 mph mean very little warning time. This is the day to take seriously.

I have great news my friends, so I left the church yesterday with a heavy heart and such a bitter taste in my mouth that it was hard for me to get a grasp on things. I spent the rest of the afternoon and a good part of the evening sitting in the bus station with a hand made sign trying to sell my Nautica winter coat that I knew I would need in Mexico city and no longer needed here in Tampico or would need in Texas. At about 10 o’clock I gave up and since I hadn’t eaten all day I decided to get some food in me enjoy a beer then find somewhere to bed down for the night. I remembered passing a small lot that had a huge pile of dirt in the middle of it in-between two other buildings when I was walking to the church witch was about halfway between the church and the bus station. I went back, looked at the area again and thought it would be a good place to sleep on the far side out of site from the street. Once I was settled down and lay there looking up at the stars I decided that the next day I would go back to the church and try to talk to the padre one more time. I try to be understanding in most situations and was willing to give the man one more chance to be a human being.
The next morning I was up at the crack of dawn and after getting myself a cup of coffee I headed to the church again. I sat there waiting for the padre to arrive with no expectations but thinking of what to say to try and get this man to take the time to listen to me. I sat outside the gates waiting to see who showed up and running my bullet points in my head. Soon I heard keys and the chain being removed from the gates and when I looked sure enough it was the padre I had spoken to the day before.
As I stood up and said good morning father in Spanish he looked at me recognized me immediately and said good morning extending his hand and asking if everything was good. “No padre, nada es bein” in Spanish not making any movement to shake his hand. “What you did for me yesterday was of absolutely no help” I said switching to English. ” You giving a me little money did nothing for me but put me back on the street and gave me food for two or three days”. “If you would have been able to help me with just 500 more pesos I would be at the border right now”. ” Do you understand what I am saying to you?” I asked. ” No” he said “only a little” he says in Spanish. “I came back here this morning to see if you have the time to sit with me and actually discuss what would help me best”, to witch he informed me that he really didn’t have the time right now. “Well I have all the time in the world and I will be waiting here for you all day till you can find the time, just 15 minutes to sit with me and discuss how to solve my problem together “. To witch he replied with there is another padre who will be here and maybe he could help me better in Spanish “Fine, I will be waiting here patiently”.
About an hour later another padre approached me and says hello in English asking if I was doing ok, “no, not really, are you going to be able to take the time and listen to what I have to say”? To make a long story short he basically tells me that they are unable to give me anymore money and that maybe the best thing I could do was contact my embassy and ask them for help. I laughed and told him that there is no embassy here in Tampico and it took me 5 days to walk/ hitchhike from Mexico city where there was one. He then suggested that I try the main church here in Tampico, that they would be able to help me. I asked how far of a walk it was and that my feet where killing me, he said about an hour away and then tells me he has to prepare for mass. As I walked back to my bag in the shade, wondering what I was to do next he returns and tells me that I can get a ride from one of the parishioners after mass if I would like and of course I said “yes, that would be fine”. As I sat outside I heard the beginning of the mass and decided that I would attend, it had been awhile since I had been to worship. After the mass I was introduced to a man named Victor and we got in his truck and he drove me across town to the office of the main church.
I entered the office and when asked by the woman at the reception desk what I wanted I told her I needed help and that I was sent there by a padre from another church in the city. This was all done in Spanish of course and I even had to pull out my tablet to try and explain my problem. She gets on her phone and next thing I know I am speaking to a lawyer for the church that spoke English and being informed that they could not help me financially, he wouldn’t even come down and talk to me in person even though I was having problems understanding him over the phone. Eventually she leaves and comes back with a man who’s name was Alberto who once again tried to tell me that they couldn’t help me and then went through the list of organizations who “might” be able to help me. The US embassy, no there is not one here. DIF, which is for Mexicans not Americans. He even suggested immigration, witch made me laugh I told him that they would detain me, deport me and that I was try to self- deport. I told him I had things that I could sell, my coat and Bills knife but that I really didn’t want to sell the knife and no one had the 500 pesos I was asking for the coat. Eventually he began to realize that I wasn’t going to let him pass me off to someone else, that I didn’t trust any of the organizations that he was talking about and when I told him that if he really wanted to help me he would let me stay there till my tablet was fully charged and I would continue north like I had been.
I will give Alberto a lot of credit he was was working the problem the best he could, we was using my tablet to translate and the battery was down to 10% when he told me I could stay to charge my tablet and to excuse him for a moment and left the reception area through a door. He was gone about 15 minutes and upon returning tells me that he was taking up a collection from all the employees there and that I would soon have what I needed and to relax and be patient. I was floored, asking if he was being serious and when he said yes, I began to cry. Within about an half a hour he comes out hands me 850 pesos and tells me to travel in peace, he reaches out to me to shake my hand and I step in and hugged him and thanked him.
I stayed long enough till my battery was up to 30%, collected my things, thanked the receptionist and walked out the door back to the bus station witch was an hour away. I now have a bus ticket for Reynosa in my possession, it leaves tonight at 11:05 PM and seven hours after that I will be in Reynosa.
Thank you all who have sent me your prayers, kind words and encouragement. I will soon be back in the United States of America to restart my life and I believe that between you and the grace of God it would not have been possible. 🖖🏻DG
THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR BLESSINGS RECEIVED AND PRAYERS ANSWERED !!! ❤️🧚🏻♀️❤️
I have a long wait for my bus ride so instead of just sitting at the station I decided to go back to the first church and talk to the fathers, show them the ticket and leave my Nautica coat with them as a recompense for the 300 pesos that was given to me the day before. When I got there there was no one around so I settled down in the court yard to pull off my boots, change my socks and lance the three blisters that had formed on my left foot. As I was putting my boots back on who do I see but the first father I talked to padre Roberto walking across the court yard. I said hello and waved at him, he asked how I was and I replied that I was doing much better and tried to wave him over my way because I didn’t have my boots on yet so I could thank him (even though I didn’t think he did as much as he could have) but he tells me that he couldn’t and continued out the court yard. As he was walking away I yell at him that I only wanted to thank him and decided that I would keep the coat.
That was good of you to try, DG.
I am so happy to hear about the kind people you encountered.
Safe travels to reynosa!!
I got bored sitting at the station and decided to go to evening mass and try again. It was padre Rodrigo (the second father I met who spoke a little English) who was conducting the mass and when I asked about padre Roberto (the first father who gave me the 300 pesos) I was told he was busy elsewhere. After mass I waited to try to speak with padre Rodrigo but once he left the alter he didn’t reaper and after most of the congregation had left I decided to go outside and look for him there. As I am walking out of the church who do find at the door but father Roberto saying good night to his parishioners as they filled out. I had already pulled the coat out of my duffel bag and I approached him with a smile and placed the coat in his hands. He didn’t understand what I was doing and tried to refuse the coat but I explained that I wouldn’t need it anymore and pulled out my wallet and showed him the bus ticket to Reynosa. The look on his face was very satisfying, he immediately started apologizing trying to explain to me how he constantly is being asked for help from people and I told him that I forgave him and that I understood. I have lost a lot of weight, I am probably down to 60kilos or less and before I shaved this afternoon I know I looked pretty shabby. I apologized for overreacting the night before and that everything that happened was in the past. I explained that father Rodrigo had sent me to the right place and told him about Alberto helping me and taking up a collection from the staff for me. Before I left he gave me a benediction and with a final handshake I asked that he would tell padre Rodrigo that I had gotten my ticket and to thank him for me. On my walk back to the bus station my feet where without pain and the duffel bag felt light on my back. I will be leaving Mexico with peace in my heart. ❤️
The Europeans on X are getting crazy! It’s hilarious some of the BS they say. My response to one who thinks Europe is a powerhouse both financially and militarily.
“EU is a financial power, probably the biggest .. no military power? Ukraine and The Netherlands are the biggest mass drone producers in the world. We have nukes, sattelites and, and that is where we differ from the US, a healthy brain.”
My response:
Nukes is all the UK has. Only France among you maintains a half decent military and is the only other power with nuclear capability.
Your financial power is split among the various nations and the US STILL has a greater GDP than all combined.
Your tech industry is practically nonexistent relying on the US and China.
The US Navy is much larger and more capable than all of the EU nations combined. The US Air Force is much larger and far more capable than all the other NATO Nations Air Forces combined. In short NATO has very little capability to project it’s limited military power.
And how come the US pays 62 to 68% of the total NATO budget? And why, if your in such great condition, are you continually begging the US to fund the war in Ukraine? Why did the US have to lead the war against Serbia?
Why did I and millions of other Americans spend part of our time in the military in Europe and most of our time training for a possible war in Europe even 30 years after WW II ended if NATO without the US is so capable?
Twice in the last 110 years the US has spent blood and treasure fighting in wars in Europe because you Europeans were incapable of handling your own affairs. Neither of those times was the US culpable for any of it! And yet, here you are not only lecturing us on how to handle threats to world peace but actively hampering our efforts to prevent YOU from coming under a nuclear threat from total wackos who would nuc you in a heart beat if you tried to confront them after they had the nucs?
Pretty good advice? Still have NOT incorporated them all (NOT a “morning person”)!

Prayer Of Reflection On The Past Day
Loving Lord, as the day is coming to an end, I want to thank You for being with me in all that has taken place today. I also want to lay the whole day before You, asking that you would show me if there is anything that I have done to hurt or harm another person unknowingly, or if I have done anything that is displeasing in Your sight, or quenched the work of the Spirit in me, so that I may turn away from such things in the days that lie ahead.
Lord, I desire to do Your will in all things. I pray that You would cleanse me of any wrong thoughts or attitudes that may have surfaced in my heart today. Wash me in Your cleansing flood, I pray.
Thank You, that You are a God who forgives our transgressions when we are willing to confess them to You, knowing that such cleansing before You immediately draws us back into sweet fellowship with Yourself.
Give me a good night’s rest I pray, and may I rest quietly in Your loving arms in the knowledge that in Christ, I am eternally secure, due to Your amazing grace, for which I praise You. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

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.
