It’s a simple word, “out.” It conveys multiple meanings depending on the context when used.
The rock seems unbreakable; many have hammered it before, but it remains there as a monolith, an immovable object unfazed by all the blows that take place. The ‘sword in the stone’, just reversed. Each deliberate spectator picks up the axe and strikes the rock. Each hoping to yield the blow that finally fractures it.
It is wise to remember, the blow that eventually breaks the rock is not singular. In the immediacy of the moment, the glory befalls the last holder of the axe; yet, in reality, the last blow benefits from the invisible weakening provided by prior strikes. It is wise to remember the history; the entirety of the effort.

Rest well truth warrior, surrounded by the priorities that truly matter.
O’Lord who lights our path, thank you for the gift of fellowship; thank You for the audience of friends and strangers who unite as reflective vessels, highlighting joy, support and encouragement in our lives. Help us to cherish and nurture these relationships, showing love and kindness as You have shown us. May the actions within our assembly honor You and bring glory to Your purpose.
Father of mercy and source of all human support, we thank You for Your presence in our greatest trials. Even when these challenges seem insurmountable, we see Your hand at work and we trust Your timing. We praise the strength You deliver to our faith, and we find joy in the midst of hardship which trains us to persevere. May we each grow closer to You through every difficulty, especially in these times we do not understand. Above all, help us to remain steadfast in gratitude for Your love and unwavering faithfulness in our strength – despite our human doubts.
Lord of healing, we thank You for the gift of health and the strength to carry out each day. Hear our voices today, that seek Your eternal assistance to care for the body of Abraham Williams while honoring You in all that is done. Thank You for protecting the spirit of Tulsi Gabbard and sustaining her fortitude against worldly odds. May our gratitude inspire others to live their very best purposeful life, while giving glory to You in every action.
Father of hope, we beg Your universal spirit to surround Tulsi and Abe with peace and comfort. Permit them rest and recovery in Your arms, surrounded by Your love, Your grace and Your peace. We ask that You protect them, surround them, keep all elements of physical and spiritual harm away from them; providing unto them a restoration of health and a spiritual presence within their hearts that reflects our appreciation. ~ Amen.
Let us hope they will soon be dancing on the beach.
Amen.
May Tulsi and her husband go with God.
Amen.
Occasionally, in our lifetime, we witness a truly great person, Tulsi is that one. God will protect her and her husband I am sure of.
Thank you Tulsi Gabbard, we owe you a huge debt of gratitude!
Thank you, Abraham, for supporting her, and may God envelop you with his healing hands.
Sundance, I hope you were allowed to be there to see her off, and to thank her for us. I’d like to think that you were in that photo during your swim through the piranha pool. But at any rate, that was a beautiful prayer, thank you.
I told Treehouse yesterday that Bill Pulte is at ODNI to downsize/eliminate as much as possible the Department’s intelligence footprint. It’s now happening. From CNN today:
” President Donald Trump’s pick for acting director of national intelligence, Bill Pulte, showed up at his new job a day early on Thursday after asking for a list of every employee in the office so he could assess whether to fire them, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN.”
“The sources said Pulte is eyeing to cut hundreds of jobs at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).”
Now we know why Mark Warner and others are “foaming” at the mouth.
One thing track home builders excel at and know how to do is fire employees and subs!!
The ODNI office is the last thing that needs to be cut. Start with all of the other Intelligence agencies. Only after that do you cut DNI staff. Something doesn’t smell right here.
Yeah, I thought she had already cut the staff back by 25%-40%.
All of Federal Government needs to be cut/downsized. It’s out of control. ODNI has about 2,000 employees.
I could imagine that thinking you might lose your job might influence some employees to be very very careful not to appear to be a radical with undercutter issues. Sounds like a Psy-0p! Smart move.
I’d like to see the word “Back”.
So would I.
Ask the other agencies to do the same. There are chains of investigators, analysts, and leadership at the FBI and CIA that need elimination.
Thank you, Sundance.
Great, inspiring words and prayer.
Blessings to you, Tulsi, Abraham and President Trump.
Xoxoxo 🙏🏻🙏🏻
A true patriot. Thank you.
She leaves behind a long, long shadow, cast in gold; impenetrable; incomparable. From the botton of our hearts thank you and may you both walk hand in hand together for many years. Thank you Tulsi, you are an inspiration indeed.
Amen!!
Let us keep praying and believing that the smashing of the aforementioned rock will continue, until completely pulverized, and may our God bless Tulsi and Abraham and their whole family with salvation, healing, protection and growth in the Truth.
New Living Translation:
Does not my Word burn like fire?” says the LORD. “Is it not like a mighty hammer that smashes a rock to pieces?
Jeremiah 23:29.
a true patriot…..God bless her.
When Tulsi first came to my attention, I was not impressed or intrigued by her. I wrote her off as another misguided, uninformed politician seeking a place to step, take some authority and have an impact on the road ahead. For me, she was another rock along the side the highway that could become dislodged, fall into the path and become an impendence to our pursuit of freedom, happiness and growth. Just another Democrat hardened by nature of socialist culture and thinking. How wrong I was, and how little did I know that in reality she would transform into the solid edifice that set in place, like the Rock of Gibraltar, protecting and sorting out the threats of access to our foundations of freedom! I pray that her replacement is an impervious to attack and harm as she was in defending our founding promises! God bless you Tulsi!
sad day
SALUTE COLONEL
AMEN to Sundance’s Earnest Prayer
TAKE CARE of Abraham, OUR PRAYERS Are with Your Family and You
THANK YOU for Your HARD WORK and DILIGENCE to a TOUGH, TOUGH MISSION
WE, U.S. – OWE YOU
SALUTE COLONEL and ALOHA
A treasure to America!
Not one for women in politics but President Trump has some very good ones. Tulsi ranks number 1. Liked Noem too. Guess she ended up with some problems. Anyway, Tulsi always spoke of great faith and leaning on the arms of a loving God. Hope and pray for strength, understanding and mercy.
Hand in Hand, it’s a true reflection in LOVE. God bless Tulsi and Abe.
A job very well done. Thank you Tulsi.
Aloha and Mahalo
Never Give Up…
🙏Amen🙏
