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 †

Interesting!
Thanks!
I understand about liberal churches.
My daughter lived next door to a liberal church.
it would have been easy to walk next door on Sunday,
but she drove 2 miles to get to another church.

The first July CATURDAY as well…and here they come !! 😸
😂😂😂 perfect Betsy!
Morning, sis 💕☕
One of my faves today.
Kind of makes me think of a statement from a wise man…
“Be ungovernable”.
Yes…that.
And tbis…

Gaseous and clever! Wish I had the talent for doing this.
EEK!!! That should be “GAWGEOUS!!!!” 😂
Well, Bets
Perhaps it is gaseous!
This one too!
Hahahahahaaaa Yes! Like that!! 😂
Chewy – the gift that keeps on giving!
I need to investigate Chewy 👍🏻
Great supplier of all things cat. (And dog, I assume – I’m not a dog person and do not have one.)
So I believe. I keep forgetting about them. We are a non discriminatory pet househoold, though at the moment we have none of either. We’ve had many in the past. Granddog sitting at the moment. We forget how lovely it is to have life in the house, which makes it a home.
Yes. Dog, cat, horse, burro, bunny……
And, they have 24/7 English speaking reps who answer the phone: no phone tree or interpreter necessary.
❤️ Chewy
I recently tossed a chair that looked just like that! You should have seen the back of it!
Morning, Bucket ☕💕…
I brought two wing hairs back to the States when we moved. Both in perfect condition…until a wary feral mother in desperate need chose to have her litter under our bed. In the intervening time between birth and rehoming, the little blighters decided they’d train for an Everest climb one of them.
Not getting rid, so I artfully draped a lovely throw over the chair. And VOILA!!! Optical illusion that the climbing exercise never happened 😉😎👍🏻
Bless you, helping the tots get physical activity Betsy 🤣
Whoever invented the “throw”had to be a critter person.
Almost every piece of furniture we have has a throw on it of some sort.
Handy, aren’t they?? 😂👍🏻
😃 😀 😄 😁 🤣
First written warning 😼
💕 to cats! 😻
💕 to America! 🇺🇲🦅
💕 to Betsy! 🙏
So lovely, dear Lorrie…many, many thanks 😘☕
Mornin’ Dear Bets
Here – you’ve earned it!
What a wonderful Independence Day Catapalooza!
God Bless the greatest country the world has ever known! ❤️
Later:
Morning, Corny 😘☕💕 I am loving both of tuese, especially the serene black cat and his cuppa!
(Rather murder a cup of morning coffee. Is that wrong?? Nope 😉)
No Dunkin’Mices?
Afternoon, dear Bet. I slept in this morning. About 10 Little ‘Tink jumped up on the bed and got very close. She was obviously checking up on me.
With Maggie’s passing ‘Tink has changed significantly. She was always affectionate but she is now much more observant, preferring to sit near me over morning coffee, tending to always be nearby when I am in the house. I like to think she’s looking after “her person”. 🙂
I agree completely that our little community of traditional loyalists is indeed fortunate to have this very special space where we can congregate. Yes, as you and I discussed several years ago now. we are indeed a church . . . when we choose to have a church which is often enough to make a difference. And when we do that, we all can feel the abiding presence of Our Lord.
And finally . . . we celebrate freedom and liberty here. Pass it on!!!
Afternoon to you and Tink, Garrison 💕 That sense that animals have…I couldn’t agree more. And the more short videos I happen to see, the more convinced I am this is true. After all we don’t know everything, can’t explain everything, nor should we try. I love Tink for her watchfulness and devotion to you. I cannot be convinced der that her arrival long ago and her gradual “vetting” of you as her person (which you are) wasn’t written long before she arrived.
Yes, this special place. Nowhere like it. Grateful, so grateful 🙏🏻
What a gift to host the World Cup so millions who travelled here can know how badly they were lied to about America by their rulers. Guarantee they will be passing it on 👍🏻🇺🇸😘
Thanks so much for your kind words. I agree. Entirely. 🙂
Happy Independence Day, Dear Garrison and Tink.
Been soaking up the coverage of the Tall Ships in NY harbor and the numerous flyovers.
Awesome!!!
I shudder to think what today would have been like had Kommiela won.
Most likely disgusting and disturbing ala Mamdani’s speech.
Thankfully, we were spared.
God Bless America!
Afternoon, dear lady. Watching the antics of the Hard Left “socialists” is additional confirmation for me that it was the Hand Of Our Lord that saved the president on the above day.
Having taught college for so many years and spent so much time on the subjects, I’m hoping that my former students won’t be beguiled by the . . . “socialists’ . . .” outright lies.
That there is a ready population of voters who are socialist voters, just tells me how ignorant they must be. I’m hoping my students, watching all this crap unfold, feel the same way. This all just make me glad that we live where we live. 🙂
Garrison
I’m very sure your students got it. The others, who did not have your tutelage – not so much.
I’ve been listening and reading today about the extreme sacrifices the founders made to birth this country.
Another “greatest generation.”
I hope future generations strive to be worthy. ❤️

Sophisticated stone machining in ancient Egypt
… granite boxes with lids carved and polished from single pieces
… tube-drilled holes, some into interior corners that are a challenging position even with modern drills … start at about 6:00 for a complete narrative of important features
They hid evidence of ancient granite machining in Egypt – until now
brought forward from a late posting yesterday so more eyes get a chance to see it
Who hid it?
Regarding other ancient topics like rock art the governments of the world have colluded to hide evidence according to my reading of documents that I can no longer find on internet. Rock art was amazingly uniform world wide giving future predictions and found in places where we are told those specific ancients didn’t go to. Ditto evidence of giants.
Who hid it?
Context determines who and in what sense it was hidden
The predominant way the Egyptian story has been told is by “Egyptologists” – archaeologists and other academics who have concentrated on studies of Egypt history and the relic evidence left behind, such as the great stone structures
Some newer researchers are questioning the traditional interpretations and are asking whether there have been prior civilizations more advanced than the known dynastic Egyptians and whether some of the stone structures were made by these more ancient civilizations, some of which may have been killed off by terrestrial impacts by asteroids or comets
The Younger Dryas cooling episode about 11,000 years ago is cited as one such possible catastrophe. As the last ice age was ending and continental ice sheets were melting, there was an abrupt reversal and cooling, bringing earth back to cold conditions. There’s evidence of a big meltwater pulse into the North Atlantic, possibly from collapse of ice-damned glacial lakes of near-continental scale. There’s also a theory of a cometary impact that may have triggered vast forest fires and post fire planetary cooling from the smoke.
Whatever the sequence of events, ancient stoneworks in Egypt and Pery are being looked at with fresh eyes and some researchers see what they think is evidence of more-advanced societies, such as Pre-Inca and Pre-Dynastic-Egypt stoneworks that appear more advanced than what lies atop them and came later.
big topic
in this particular case, the video author is contending that the granite boxes he’s studying were stone-worked with advanced tools such as rotary coring drills and cites his expert stonemason he’s consulted, whereas I think he contends that traditional Egyptologists interpret that the stonework has been accomplished with known traditional tools such as chisels and banger rocks
typo – Whatever the sequence of events, ancient stoneworks in Egypt and Peru
Peru
Acts 7 v 21-22
But when he was set out, Pharaoh’s daughter took him away and brought him up as her own son. 22And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and deeds.
When I was 4 my brother and a couple of older neighbor kids found a ground hornets nest behind our house. They put a garden hose in the hole, had me stand with my foot on the hose and turned on the water. I got stung about 30 times before I made in the house and my brother didn’t sit down for a week.
the guy in back is already laughing to himself about what’s to come

Sometimes you find in the comment threads below the article a comment that is brilliantly insightful, even moreso than the article under which it appeared.

St. Irenaeus, whose feast day is tomorrow in the 1962 missal, is the one who gave us the “four marks of the Church” – that it is “one, holy, catholic, and apostolic”, which was of course later used in the Nicene Creed. He did this at a time when there were many false and heretical churches and such around (the 200’s – some things never change).
Certainly we can rank these marks in terms of importance, and the most important is unquestionably apostolic, that is, that the church can trace its way back to the apostles. Any church that cannot do this is fraudulent. All Protestant churches fail on this mark (and all the others for that matter, but failing on this alone delegitimizes them).
The second most important mark is oneness – i.e. keeping Jesus’ command of John 17. This is where eastern churches in schism with Rome fall short, and, unfortunately to an extent, the SSPX. They are apostolic but in losing their oneness they lose a bit of legitimacy (but not validity – being apostolic gives that). But this leads into the third most important mark.
The third most important mark is holiness. Most people seem to not realize what this word actually means. It does not mean to be good/nice/well-thought of/etc. or “good deed doer”, rather, it means to be a people separate from the world, a people who reject the ways of the world and worldliness in general, in favor of the divine life of God. It means adhering to God’s commandments instead of what the world thinks is right and wrong. It is where the word “holocaust”, as a sacrifice to God, comes from – something dedicated wholly to God. The Israelites were once holy, in that they were once God’s chosen people. The heresy of modernism is a direct attack on the holiness of the Church, as it seeks to make the Church more like the world. Prior to Vatican II the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church was unquestionably holy, using this definition of holiness (the correct definition). But since Vatican II (not necessarily because of it, but rather because of the evil so-called “spirit of Vatican II”) the Roman Rite has lost holiness. Under Francis and now Leo holiness in the Roman Rite has virtually vanished. The mainstream of the Roman Rite has, for the first time in its history, lost one of the four marks. Leo seems much more concerned with spouting off elitist left-wing secular ideas and no concern with leading the Church to holiness – being a people apart. In fact, rejecting the world seems like it would be anathema to him. He is of course continuing what his immediate predecessor did, and to a lesser extent all the post-Vatican II popes.
This puts all modern Catholics whose “eyes are opened” (i.e. those who do not sleepwalk in their faith) in a terrible spot. We have to chose between a church that has oneness but is not holy (the mainstream Roman Rite) or a church that breaks the oneness but is holy (the SSPX). There is not an obvious answer to this, and I would not criticize someone for choosing one over the other. Sure, it is easy to say that we should favor oneness over holiness, as it is a bit more important, but holiness attracts while worldliness repels. There is ultimately no point in belonging to an unholy church, as the primary mission of the Church is to get people to heaven. To get to heaven we must desire it and look toward it, and break our wordily attachments. That is the reason we give up things for Lent, for example.
We are in an ultimate crisis situation when the pope and most of the hierarchy is drawing our eyes away from heaven and toward the earth. Maybe one is lucky to have access to a traditional novus ordo or Ecclesia Dei community, but these exist only by leave of the increasingly unholy hierarchy of the mainstream Roman Rite. As it becomes less holy squashing these bastions of holiness will be important on its agenda, in its race to become as much like the rest of the world as possible.
One thing is for sure – the SSPX is correct about the Church being in crisis.
A comment below the editor’s commentary on the excommunication of
the SSPX. On Crisis Magazine. 7-1-26
Revelations Chapters 1, 2 & 3 John, to the seven churches which are in Asia
https://biblehub.com/nkjv/revelation/1.htm
Come to your own conclusions.
Why does splitting damn the East? Why not the other way around? We are all too quick to excommunicate each other. Eventually it sticks.
How long has the Catholic church been in crisis?
Protestants may be lost in confusion, but most are striving to get back to the Church built by the Apostles. They didn’t leave the Church of the Bible, they are trying to get back to it. Trying to get back to God. And you know who they blame for leading astray.
Please don’t take this as condemnation of the Catholic Church. Just as an attempt to realize that those we damn have a much different view. Indeed, they may damn us.
Indeed, the Catholic Church has a long, long history of crisis like the one you are facing. And an equally long history of getting past them. But you have my sympathies. It is not easy looking at your own Faith and finding it coming up short. Just ask Luthor.
And I won’t be the one to guide your choices. Ask God for that
I come from a family of Methodists, and have ancestors going back to the Mayflower. One of my sons has left for the Orthodox Church. Judgement is up to God. I believe that people of goodwill seek the truth, and that would seem to invite God’s mercy.
God judges but I left the Methodist Church because I felt they were on the wrong path to salvation. Each has to make their own choice.
I left it thirty years ago.
Grateful for this conversation and this place that hosts such conversations.
A huge indication that millionaires are exiting Washington state.
According to the 2026 Waterfront Report released Tuesday by Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty (RSIR), pending sales for high-end properties priced between $5 million and $20 million skyrocketed in June. Across King, Snohomish, Pierce, and Kitsap counties, June pending sales for luxury single-family homes surged an astonishing 366.7% year-over-year, while actual waterfront sales volume jumped by 600%.
https://www.king5.com/article/money/markets/real-estate/washington-luxury-home-sales-increase-millionaires-tax/281-fcb7ff8a-064e-446c-af94-13f24e376957
wouldn’t the net effect be zero?
those who are buying properties in that price range
have to be at least as well heeled as those who are selling.
and “pending’ in context means an offer has been made.
so if nothing else, based on the sales percentages jump year-over-year as quoted,
it means the high end market there is doing very well.
(not that i’d move there if i won the lottery.🤣)
I was thinking similar…
If you could afford to buy (from someone fleeing), why would you even want to!
Wouldnt one who could afford know the reason the seller is selling? Unless you’re a woke millionaire…?
well, woke millionaires – bank accounts notwithstanding –
tend to have less than good judgement!😂🤣
If there are an unusually large number of sellers, the prices should drop.
If there are an unusually large number of buyers, the prices should rise.
the quoted article is not about sales prices,
it’s focus is on sales VOLUME in the luxury market.
🇺🇸🇮🇱😃.❤️.💪🇮🇱🇺🇸 David: That picture is truly beautiful and inspiring.
Thank you for your friendship and for so many Blessings; as well as the Special Prayers you prayed with JWoo very recently, while including her and her daughter in our Tribe.
🙏 God Bless all of Israel and you, David.
God Bless all of the U.S.A., including her Patriotic Leaders.
Amen 🙏
❤️ 💛 ❤️
Good Morning David and thank you for the beautiful wishes and picture!
Who knows, He may have sat in that exact spot while He was here on Earth…
I do believe we’ll be seeing His hand move over all of us in a very visible way, beginning now this July. Not only the United States and Israel, but the whole world.
Countries and their rulers and people will be called to account for the evils they’ve perpetrated on God’s people.
It seems very likely there are some rougher times coming for our United States – our One Nation Under God. It is an important time to get right with Him.
We will be Indivisible again – I do believe on God for that! Though, I also believe birth pains will be experienced before that all comes to fruition.
I’m very much looking forward to both Israel and the United States being free to live fully in the Light of the LORD.
Have a good day David, and thank you for all the effort it takes and that you always put into what you do for us. It’s so good of you to do so!
Thank you! I appreciate your post. I know that not everyone will be blessed in terms of individuals and nations. Let us pray for everyone and the leaders to do God’s will as to be on the blessing side of the future. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🎶☀️🎶 David: You’ve shared with us recently that your first loves are:

David posted a few heartfelt and wise sentences to you a couple days or so ago here on the OT, as you know (since you replied to him).
I am still praying for Savannah’s “peace” as David described, and also your “peace”, JWoo.

Hallelujah Dear Woo!
I will continue to pray for you and Savannah. I know you are aware that this is not the end of the journey. But, today is a time for celebration. Take heart knowing so many are doing so with you.

I worked in a grocery store for a few months a few years ago. One July 6th-ish a guy came in, laughing and joking, one hand heavily bandaged, and it was obvious he had lost at least one finger. A few days later I saw him again, definitely NOT laughing and joking. He had good drugs the first few days.
Be careful with fireworks.
It’s been years since I did any fireworks, at my age that foolishness is far in the past. That doesn’t mean I didn’t find the meme funny, which is why I posted it.

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 Saturday, July 4, 2026
✟
“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”
Galatians 5:1 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR GALATIANS 5:1
An earnest exhortation to stand fast in the liberty of the gospel. (1-12) To take heed of indulging a sinful temper. (13-15) And to walk in the Spirit, and not to fulfil the lusts of the flesh: the works of both are described. (16-26)
1-6 Christ will not be the Saviour of any who will not own and rely upon him as their only Saviour. Let us take heed to the warnings and persuasions of the apostle to stedfastness in the doctrine and liberty of the gospel. All true Christians, being taught by the Holy Spirit, wait for eternal life, the reward of righteousness, and the object of their hope, as the gift of God by faith in Christ; and not for the sake of their own works. The Jewish convert might observe the ceremonies or assert his liberty, the Gentile might disregard them or might attend to them, provided he did not depend upon them. No outward privileges or profession will avail to acceptance with God, without sincere faith in our Lord Jesus. True faith is a working grace; it works by love to God, and to our brethren. May we be of the number of those who, through the Spirit, wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. The danger of old was not in things of no consequence in themselves, as many forms and observances now are. But without faith working by love, all else is worthless, and compared with it other things are of small value.
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.
Happy birthday, America!
PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
MAPA = MAKE AMERICA PRAY AGAIN
STAND TALL
We are children of the Most High God
We are peculiar people to be awed
In His image and likeness guaranteed
For whom God will intently intercede
Robbed of our inheritance by evil seed
Jesus defeated him and we were freed
To this day we are told we must accept
Whatever evil deems we are adept
In bondage we have been found and wanting
They hoard the resources they are flaunting
Taxed to the hilt we can never survive
While they live in luxury and thus thrive
This was not what God intended to be
But what has occurred throughout history
Some have sold their souls for power and gain
And over the common man they have reigned
Slaves to a system created by man
Four hundred years ago when it began
As God’s people were enslaved in Egypt
We too have been severely ill-equipped
What did God do to end the tyranny
Perpetrated upon not conspiracy
He sent His Prophet to demand release
To insist the bondage abstain and cease
I AM the God of Heaven and Earth
Stand Tall My People for all you are worth
In this Great Year of the Jubilee
An Exodus I have planned for thee

Psalm 85:9-14
☘️
The Lord speaks of peace to his people.
I will hear what God proclaims;
the Lord—for he proclaims peace to his people.
Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,
glory dwelling in our land.
The Lord speaks of peace to his people.
Kindness and truth shall meet;
justice and peace shall kiss.
Truth shall spring out of the earth,
and justice shall look down from heaven.
The Lord speaks of peace to his people.
The Lord himself will give his benefits;
our land shall yield its increase.
Justice shall walk before him,
and salvation, along the way of his steps.
The Lord speaks of peace to his people.

Amos 9:11-15
☘️
Thus says the Lord:
On that day I will raise up
the fallen hut of David;
I will wall up its breaches,
raise up its ruins,
and rebuild it as in the days of old,
That they may conquer what is left of Edom
and all the nations that shall bear my name,
say I, the Lord, who will do this.
Yes, days are coming,
says the Lord,
When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
and the vintager, him who sows the seed;
The juice of grapes shall drip down the mountains,
and all the hills shall run with it.
I will bring about the restoration of my people Israel;
they shall rebuild and inhabit their ruined cities,
Plant vineyards and drink the wine,
set out gardens and eat the fruits.
I will plant them upon their own ground;
never again shall they be plucked
From the land I have given them,
say I, the Lord, your God.
HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!

The Star Spangled Banner
Francis Scott Key, 1814
Oh, say! can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming;
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
Oh, say! does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In fully glory reflected now shines in the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh, long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution!
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust”:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave
it was hard learning all of that song
I would mostly fake it
when we had to sing it at school
sound good faking it though
makin up noises
as long as I stayed in tune
and I did
sounded good
great song
great country

The 25 declarations in the Declaration of Independence
Many Americans are familiar with the Declaration’s famous preface. Few of them know what other rights and principles it states.

What an amazing day!
My folks taught my brother and me that we were among the luckiest people on earth to have been born in this amazing country.
I feel it even more profoundly today.
Amen
