✝️ Posting for WP

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 . . .

Joseph Grimaldi
(1778-1837)

English pantomimist and the “greatest clown in history”, dies at 57

Biography: The most famous clown of them all and the most popular English entertainer of the Regency era (1811-1820).

In the early 1800s, he expanded the role of Clown in the harlequinade that formed part of British pantomimes, notably at the Drury Lane, Sadler’s Wells and Covent Garden theatres.

Grimaldi became so dominant on the London comic stage that the harlequinade role of Clown became known as “Joey”, and both the nickname and Grimaldi’s whiteface are used by clowns to this day.

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

Morning y’all.

I want to thank everyone for the responses yesterday after I gave an update on my wife, Jane, after the surgery she had to remove stage 4 oral cancer. That surgery is a nightmare….

I’m sorry I could not respond to everyone individually, there is much to do to prepare for when she gets to come home.

She will be in a hospital bed for awhile. There is much I need to learn to properly care for her for awhile.

Today is her birthday and she’s excited about that. I’m taking her birthday cards and get well soon cards that arrived in the mail.

Yesterday I took a card for the doctors and nurses to put their names in, and the nurse I spoke to was more than happy to help get it to everyone to sign.

JWOO:

Joan, regarding all that followed this in your post:

“I want to share advice that I wasn’t asked for… but who am I to recoil????”

That was outstanding advice, and I will follow it. Thank you.

Jane asked folks at church and friends to do a good deed today for her birthday. For all who do that, thank you in advance.

Going to go see her in a little bit.

Everyone have a good day……and appreciate EVERY SINGLE BLESSING that God has given you.

John 3:16-18

God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

…FOR The past 3 or 4 days in scrolling the ‘net I have seen many pix of daily life on the streets of Tehran right now. People strolling, riding bicycles, doing normal stuff. I see no evidence of bombed-out buildings or the suffering tear-streaked faces of women and children. The latest video (31MAY26) of the Iranian speedboat on public display shows people going about the business as usual. https://x.com/Tasnimnews_Fa/status/2060817783911338166

So what?

To me the peaceful-looking life in Tehran at this hour is evidence of ultra-precision guidance in U.S. ordnance. The mullahs and the ayatollahs are bragging and bargaining like it was 50 years ago instead or right effin’ now. Don’t the mullah-puppies and the ayatollah bosses realize they are walking around in a precisely spotted cone of annihilation? It looks to me like they could get blown up without much damage to any surrounding persons or real estate. I reckon the mullahs and the ayatollahs will be the next globally broadcast example of precision warfare in the 21st century. Adios, Mr. Mullah. Adios, Mr. Ayatollah…and good riddance to to you all.

THE MOST HOLY TRINITY

God our Father, who by sending into the world
the Word of truth and the Spirit of sanctification
made known to the human race your wondrous mystery,
grant us, we pray, that in professing the true faith,
we may acknowledge the Trinity of eternal glory
and adore your Unity, powerful in majesty.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. 
Amen.

☘️
Blest be God the Father,
and the Only Begotten Son of God,
and also the Holy Spirit,
for he has shown us his merciful love.

☘️

Gloria
☘️

Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to people of good will.

We praise you,
we bless you,
we adore you,
we glorify you,
we give you thanks for your great glory,
Lord God, heavenly King,
O God, almighty Father.

Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son,
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
you take away the sins of the world,
have mercy on us;
you take away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father,
have mercy on us.

For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE

Verse of the Day for Sunday, May 31, 2026

✟

“The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.”

Proverbs 28:1 (KJV)

COMMENTARY FOR PROVERBS 28

1 Sin makes men cowards. Whatever difficulties the righteous meet in the way of duty, they are not daunted. #2|. National sins disturb the public repose. #3|. If needy persons get opportunities of oppressing, their extortion will be more severe than that of the more wealthy. #4|. Wicked people strengthen one another in wicked ways. #5|. If a man seeks the Lord, it is a good sign that he understands much, and it is a good means of understanding more. #6|. An honest, godly, poor man, is better than a wicked, ungodly, rich man; has more comfort in himself, and is a greater blessing to the world. #7|. Companions of riotous men not only grieve their parents, but shame them. #8|. That which is ill got, though it may increase much, will not last long. Thus the poor are repaid, and God is glorified. #9|. The sinner at whose prayers God is angry, is one who obstinately refuses to obey God’s commands. #10|. The success of ungodly men is their own misery. #11|. Rich men are so flattered, that they think themselves superior to others. #12|. There is glory in the land when the righteous have liberty. #13|. It is folly to indulge sin, and excuse it. He who covers his sins, shall not have any true peace. He who humbly confesses his sins, with true repentance and faith, shall find mercy from God. The Son of God is our great atonement. Under a deep sense of our guilt and danger, we may claim salvation from that mercy which reigns through righteousness unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord. #14|. There is a fear which causes happiness. Faith and love will deliver from the fear of eternal misery; but we should always fear offending God, and fear sinning against him. #15|. A wicked ruler, whatever we may call him, this scripture calls a roaring lion, and a ranging bear. #16|. Oppressors want understanding; they do not consult their own honour, ease, and safety. #17|. The murderer shall be haunted with terrors. None shall desire to save him from deserved punishment, nor pity him. 18|. Uprightness will give men holy security in the worst times; but the false and dishonest are never safe. #19|. Those who are diligent, take the way to live comfortably. #20|. The true way to be happy, is to be holy and honest; not to raise an estate suddenly, without regard to right or wrong. #21|. Judgment is perverted, when any thing but pure right is considered. #22|. He that hastens to be rich, never seriously thinks how quickly God may take his wealth from him, and leave him in poverty. #23|. Upon reflection, most will have a better opinion of a faithful reprover than of a soothing flatterer. 24|. Here is the wickedness of those who think it no sin to rob their parents, by wheedling them or threatening them, or by wasting what they have, and running into debt. #25|. Those make themselves always easy, that live in continual dependence upon God and his grace, and live by faith. #26|. A fool trusts to his own strength, merit, and righteousness. And trusts to his own heart, which is not only deceitful above all things, but which has often deceived him. #27|. A selfish man not only will not look out for objects of compassion, but will look off from those that call for his attention. #28|. When power is put into the hands of the wicked, wise men decline public business. If the reader will go diligently over this and the other chapters, in many places where at first he may suppose there is least of Christ, still he will find what will lead to him.

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.

How the Amish Took Over American Furniture Without the Internet

Hi all,

I posted on the May 24th Daily Thread, exactly a week ago now, about my family and about my Dad.

As of early this morning, he’s gone.

I think Mom and I are still numb – it doesn’t feel real and at the same time, it’s like our world is imploding down on top of us.

And I… I now have to figure out (again), what to do about my job. I’m currently on vacation leave and I had already put in for vacation for this coming week, but I was expecting to get FMLA to help/support my Mom and the household and everything…

Except, now Dad’s gone and my employer’s bereavement policy is three lousy days. Plus they out-sourced their leave system to a third-party vendor, who prolly gives less of a damn than HR does. All they care about is their damn paperwork and their damn ‘approvals’ and reminding employees – oh, you still have to pay your side of the benefits and if you don’t come back, you’re on the hook for the employer side of the benefits, too!

And I’m wondering if it’s even worth trying to fight for this job. I was already unhappy with the current project (Prod Support, instead of Development *spit*) and looking for a new job on the side. They’ve been reasonably good/fair with me, I think – never demanded that I get that hateful jab, but I’m not blind to the fact that they are NOT an American company, nor do they have a good reputation with most American IT workers.

But because they are a contracting company, they won’t keep my current position open. Even if I can get FMLA at this point, I would be coming back in however many weeks to sit on the bench and hopefully get another project. Bluntly, ya’ll, I barely got this project (was probably a week away from gettin’ laid off earlier this year). I’m good at what I do, but not a superstar, nor have I worked much in the very latest Pega versions rolling out. Haven’t been taking any of the ‘AI courses’, either. And the company literally just rolled out a new ‘feature’ that means I cannot access Pega Academy on a non-work computer, even though that is my account, with my Pega credentials on it!

Mom is afraid that if I give up this job, I’d be risking my career and my future. I’m not sure the career is worth what I’d pay for it, if I tried to juggle that career and taking care of everything that’s gonna come down now that Dad is gone.

I’ve heard the IT industry is getting better as President Trump ramps up the pressure on Visa workers, but I just don’t know. About the only thing I do know right now is that I can’t stomach the idea of going back to work and leaving my Mom to deal with everything on her own.

The ‘smart’ thing would be to apply for remote work and try to juggle 40 hours a week with what my Mom and the household needs. But I don’t know if I can handle that mentally and emotionally.

The ‘dumb’ thing would be to let the job go, apply for COBRA, and start applying for jobs in a couple months when things are more settled. Except, I’ve no idea what ‘more settled’ looks like or how long it will take to deal with Dad’s affairs, the house, and everything else.

Nor do I have any idea if the job market would be something I can navigate. There’s so much fakery out there, fake resumes, fake job postings, fake everything. It was one thing to job hunt while I had a steady job, even if it’s one I don’t like. What do I do when getting a new job is all I got?

I don’t know what the right thing is. What my Dad would want, what God wants me to do. Right now, it just hurts and I want the whole damn world to go away and leave my family alone.

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.

Happy Birthday to Rowdy Yates who turned 96 today.
