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 †

Some cooking show I watched had the cook show how to precisely measure out cooking coffee. Think it was Good Eats with Alton Brown. This reminds me of that show.
I remember his show used to catch it every now and then🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸

Mmmy! Thanks Jay!
May I add some popovers? They are gluten free, but are honestly pretty comparable. Took me many tries to get it right.
Hey Soaz I have some relatives that are doing that and they seem to
make pretty good baked goods 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
What a great wake up call for Monday…. four excellent choices
🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
And……may still feel pretty puny on the 6th!
‘CAT’ …… ?
Obviously not. If it was the cat there would have been a whole roll of shredded toilet paper on the floor piled right up to the dispenser. If it as a dog there would have been the whole roll trailed throughout the house but with the end still attached to the dispenser..
It is just a mean person that doesn’t care about the next person that needs toilet paper.
I used to switch my mom’s from incorrect to correct when I would visit and she always blamed my wife for doing that. LOL
Proud Incorrect here 😆
Ordinary Time: July 6th
Today the Church celebrates the Optional Memorial of St. Maria Goretti, Virgin and Martyr (1890-1902). St. Maria was born in Corinaldo, Italy, the daughter of a poor peasant family. Maria was well known to her neighbors for her cheerfulness and piety. When she was eleven, she was a victim of assault. She preferred to die rather than to lose her virginity. She died in 1902 and her mother was present at her canonization in 1950, the first time a parent was present for their own child’s canonization.

St. Maria Goretti, Virgin and Martyr
A hard life. The third of seven children, St. Maria Goretti was born in 1890 in Corinaldo, Italy, to a poor family. By the time she was five, her parents had lost their farm and hired themselves out to work for others as tenant farmers. The family moved often, finally ending up in Nettuno, not far from Rome.
Like many of the poor, the Gorettis could not afford a home of their own, so they shared a farmhouse with another family, the Serenellis. Giovanni Serenelli was a boorish man. He often got drunk and became abusive. He and his two sons were as different to the deeply devout Goretti family as chalk is to cheese. The Serenellis, for example, were much given to reading the lurid accounts of “true sex crimes.” Indecent pictures were pasted on the walls of the house they now shared with the Gorettis.
Assunta and Luigi Goretti tried to protect their children as best they could in such an atmosphere. Assunta later said: “We tried to bring them up in the faith, to be good Christians, teaching them to pray and to see God in his creation.” The family prayed the rosary every evening. Maria received the Sacrament of Confirmation at just six years old. When the village church was closed during summer, Maria would walk several kilometers to attend Mass at the church in Campomorto.
When Maria was nine, her father died, and her mother and siblings threw themselves into work to feed the family. Maria kept house, cooked and watched her baby sister. It was a hard life. There was no time for school, for the family was too busy trying to survive. During this period, Maria became the victim of unwanted sexual advances on the part of Alessandro, Serenelli’s 20-year-old son. He even threatened to kill her if she told anyone. Despite her suffering, Maria chose to remain silent so as not to worsen the already strained relations between the two families. In her pain, she turned to the Virgin Mary, from whom she drew strength and comfort.
Uncommon courage. In 1902, 11-year-old Maria was sitting on the steps mending a shirt when Alessandro grabbed her and dragged her into the house. He held an awl and threatened to stab her if she refused him again. “No!” she cried as he tried to choke her, “It is a sin! God doesn’t want it!” She struggled and tried to run for the door. He caught her, and when she said that she would rather die than give him what he wanted, he stabbed her fourteen times with the awl before running away.
Her family heard the baby crying and ran into the house to find Maria bleeding on the floor. In the hospital, the doctor operated on her without anesthesia because she had lost so much blood. “Think of me in Paradise,” he suddenly said in the middle of the surgery. “Which of us will get there first?” she mused. “You, Maria,” he answered. “Then yes, I will remember you,” she promised.
“I want him to be in Paradise with me.” She succumbed the next day of her wounds. She had repeatedly warned Alessandro he was risking eternal damnation. As she lay dying, when the parish priest of Nettuno brought her Holy Viaticum and asked whether she forgave Alessandro, she replied, “Yes, I forgive him and want him to be in Paradise with me some day.”
Sentenced to thirty years in prison, Alessandro was hardened and showed no remorse. Yet he would undergo a profound change. This was to occur after a remarkable dream he had during his 8th year of imprisonment.
The dream was so vivid he could not distinguish it from reality. The prison bars and walls fell away and his cell was a sunlit garden blooming with flowers. Towards him came a beautiful girl dressed in pure white. He said to himself: ‘How is this? Peasant girls wear darkish clothes.’ But he saw it was Maria. She was walking among flowers, smiling, and without the least fear. He wanted to flee from her but could not. Maria picked white lilies and handed them to him saying, ‘Alessandro, take them!‘ He accepted the lilies, one by one, fourteen of them. But a strange thing took place. As he received them from her fingers, the lilies did not remain lilies but changed into so many flaming lights. There was a lily turned to purifying flame for every one of the 14 mortal blows he struck her on the fatal day. Maria said smilingly, “Alessandro, as I have promised, your soul shall someday reach me in heaven.”
Contentment entered his breast. And the scene of incredible beauty dissolved in silence. When he awoke, it seemed that the rabid, choking, consuming feelings of hate, destruction, and bitterness that ruled within him were loosening their invisible bonds from his mind and flesh. Soon after, Bishop Blandini of Noto visited him, explaining that Maria had forgiven him and that God would also forgive him. This vision of Maria led to Alessandro’s repentance and conversion, and he later testified at the cause for her beatification, stating in part, “I knew I was breaking God’s law. I killed her because she refused. She had never encouraged me in any way – not by a word or a deed.”.
A miracle of forgiveness. Twenty-seven years after Maria’s murder, Alessandro was released from prison. He went straight to Maria’s mother, Assunta, and begged her forgiveness. Her response rang in echo of her daughter, showing the kind of faith that Maria had received from her, “Alessandro, Maria has forgiven you. God has forgiven you. How can I not forgive you.” Assunta took him with her to Mass that night as a mother with her son. They received Holy Communion, kneeling together. After he received the Eucharist, there was a bit of commotion among the congregation, so he turned around to them and said: “I am guilty of a terrible sin. Please forgive me.” Alessandro later became a Franciscan lay brother, working in the garden of an isolated monastery. He stayed hidden there until his death in 1970. His last words: “I’m going to be with Maria.”
Those who were acquainted with little Maria said on the day of her funeral: “A saint has died!” In 1950, half a million people were in attendance in St Peter’s Square when Pope Pius XII canonized this “20th century St. Agnes”. Present also were her mother, her siblings, and Alessandro, who had killed her only to discover in her an intercessor, a sister and a friend.
“Maria’s forgiveness saved me.” –Alessandro Serenelli
__________
Not only is a martyr one who dies rather than deny a truth of the faith, but he also who dies for the sake of some virtue, or to avoid sin against any commandment. –St. Thomas Aquinas
Not all of us are expected to die a martyr’s death, but we are all called to the pursuit of Christian virtue. This demands strength of character though it may not match that of this innocent girl. Still, a constant, persistent and relentless effort is asked of us right up to the moment of our death. This may be conceived as a slow steady martyrdom which Christ urged upon us when he said: The kingdom of heaven is set upon and laid waste by violent forces. —Excerpted from a homily at the canonization of Saint Maria Goretti by Pope Pius XII
What I am about to tell you about is the best news in Israel at the moment.
Her name is Saphir Cohen. It was 10/7. She went with her boyfriend Sasha to a family visit in a Kibbutz by Gaza. They were both kidnapped and separated immediatly. There are some horrifying images of their kidnapping. Her on a motorcycle between two armed terrorists and him separately.
Long ago I posted her interview here because she is one of the most extraordinary people that I have seen. She was released after a few months in one of the deals. You could tell that she is kind of shy, but she went public on a campaign to persuade everyone, world wide, to do something to help free him, anything, a prayer or whatever they could.
He was released on the last deal. After years. I posted here their meeting when he was released.
Today they married.
I put together a video exclusive for you. It’s only on my Rumble channel and here.
It is short, don’t miss it. She is amazing.
The song in their wedding is called “From the depth.” Since they were in tunnels it has a special meaning.
This is a victory of the human spirit and an act of God’s mercy.
I need to translate one word : Tehillim = The Book of Psalms.

I will never forget your prayers, David. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
You’re welcome. I am here if you need any more help. I know it’s not over.
A warring: Psych drugs can kill. It’s a whole subject. There are natural ways.
David,
I was pleased that no psychotropics were suggested or prescribed today.
She did receive diagnoses of severe PTSD, anxiety and depression.
High flight risk because she thinks she still has “friends” within but she has no discernment which are friends or foes… because those who claim to want to protect you…. just end up being perps too or they’re fair weather friends.
Groomers use “lures” which are peers who are “friends” to pull back in. That’s why so hard to break them free. She has strong protective urges to get the others free or protect them but that’s not for her to do.
She has Genesight DNA testing for medication administration for safe metabolism… but she (we) prefer NATURAL supplements.
Give me a list of your suggestions and I’ll look into. We need to reach our functional medicine nurse practitioner… and we will get this figured out.
We also need to call her health insurance and see what’s in network… she needs full blood panel.
Did some sensitive tests today to check for any residual issues from the assaults… STDs, HIV, syphilis. Praying over those.
I do feel a bit uncomfortable getting way into details publicly about the nature of the crimes against her. Not good and best between her, me, and her specialized trauma therapists once we find one suitable.
We have a list.
If you want, email Ad Rem at the contact email on the Tree and she can message me directly so we can correspond. Blessings dear friend 🧡
Wow, David.
Everyone should listen to this video you’ve posted here!
I found it very clarifying.

Georg Ohm
(1789-1854)
German physicist and mathematician (Ohm’s law), dies at 65
Biography: Georg Ohm was a German physicist and mathematician who made significant contributions to the field of electrical engineering. He is best known for formulating Ohm’s Law, which describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit, and remains a fundamental principle in the study of electricity.
Ohm’s groundbreaking work began in the 1820s when he started conducting experiments on electrical circuits. Through his research, he discovered that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across the conductor and inversely proportional to its resistance. This relationship is now known as Ohm’s Law and is typically represented as V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.
In 1827, Ohm published his findings in the book Die galvanische Kette, mathematisch bearbeitet (The Galvanic Circuit Investigated Mathematically). Despite the importance of his discovery, Ohm’s work was initially met with skepticism and criticism from the scientific community. However, his ideas eventually gained acceptance, and he was awarded the prestigious Copley Medal by the Royal Society in 1841.

Oh my. Prayers up.
From the Bearing Arms site. The discussion focuses on the symbolic and practical meaning of the AR pattern rifle in American culture. It is a modern version of the legendary “Kentucky Long Rifle” of Revolutionary War significance.
Edits mine.
Now, though, I understand the gun even better. I know how it operates, sure, but I also understand its place in the United States of America.
250 years ago, the Kentucky Long Rifle became the symbol of America. It was the gun that many a minuteman took off the wall over the fireplace of his home, then marched toward the call of freedom. Rifled, making it more accurate than the British Brown Bess musket, Americans could target officers at will, throwing the British lines into turmoil, and it became a symbol for generations to come.
It was a symbol of why the armed American was free then, and would remain free in the future.
Today, the long rifle is little more than a symbol for most people. It’s fun to shoot, of course, and it can still take down plenty of larger game–at least as we define “larger” game here in the US–but it’s not an effective tool to fend off liberty.
What I saw at that gun show in the local Shriners Temple, though, is what replaced it.
The AR-15 is the modern musket. It’s the tool that will keep us free, and it will stay that way until something better comes along. Oh, there are other firearms that sort of look like the AR-15 and fill the same role, but aren’t quite the same thing, but in the vernacular sense, they’re all in one big tub for most people who neither know nor care about the differences.
And that’s fine. They don’t need to know the functional differences between them. What they need to know is that they’re available and they allow an armed population to keep their government in check, while also being something would-be foreign invaders have to account for.
Admiral Yamamoto has erroneously been quoted as saying that the problem with invading mainland America is “there will be a rifle behind every blade of grass.” There’s no documentation of him saying it, but considering how he understood us better than most of his fellow flag officers in the Imperial military at the time, it’s entirely possible he said something like this, because it was true.
But back then, your average hunting rifle and the standard battle rifle throughout the world weren’t that different. Today, things have changed, and the AR-style rifles are the tool that fills that role.
We are free.
Mornin’ Dear Garrison
This is the major reason the marxist left vilifies these rifles – they are affordable, available, and reliable for the average American. 👍
On usurping power, the first thing totalitarians do is disarm the population. Here, however, that would require 400 mil plus disarms.

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 Monday, July 6, 2026
✟
“For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”
Romans 14:11 (KJV)
COMMENTARY FOR ROMANS 14:11
The Jewish converts cautioned against judging, and Gentile believers against despising one the other. (1-13) And the Gentiles exhorted to take heed of giving offence in their use of indifferent things. (14-23)
1-6 Differences of opinion prevailed even among the immediate followers of Christ and their disciples. Nor did St. Paul attempt to end them. Compelled assent to any doctrine, or conformity to outward observances without being convinced, would be hypocritical and of no avail. Attempts for producing absolute oneness of mind among Christians would be useless. Let not Christian fellowship be disturbed with strifes of words. It will be good for us to ask ourselves, when tempted to disdain and blame our brethren; Has not God owned them? and if he has, dare I disown them? Let not the Christian who uses his liberty, despise his weak brother as ignorant and superstitious. Let not the scrupulous believer find fault with his brother, for God accepted him, without regarding the distinctions of meats. We usurp the place of God, when we take upon us thus to judge the thoughts and intentions of others, which are out of our view. The case as to the observance of days was much the same. Those who knew that all these things were done away by Christ’s coming, took no notice of the festivals of the Jews. But it is not enough that our consciences consent to what we do; it is necessary that it be certified from the word of God. Take heed of acting against a doubting conscience. We are all apt to make our own views the standard of truth, to deem things certain which to others appear doubtful. Thus Christians often despise or condemn each other, about doubtful matters of no moment. A thankful regard to God, the Author and Giver of all our mercies, sanctifies and sweetens them.
Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

OOOOH…HOW UNIQUE !!! THANKS !!! 💜
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.

Psalm 145:2-9
☘️
The Lord is gracious and merciful.
Every day will I bless you,
and I will praise your name forever and ever.
Great is the Lord and highly to be praised;
his greatness is unsearchable.
The Lord is gracious and merciful.
Generation after generation praises your works
and proclaims your might.
They speak of the splendor of your glorious majesty
and tell of your wondrous works.
The Lord is gracious and merciful.
They discourse of the power of your terrible deeds
and declare your greatness.
They publish the fame of your abundant goodness
and joyfully sing of your justice.
The Lord is gracious and merciful.
The Lord is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and of great kindness.
The Lord is good to all
and compassionate toward all his works.
The Lord is gracious and merciful.

Matthew 9:18-26
☘️
While Jesus was speaking, an official came forward, knelt down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died. But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live.” Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples. A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, “If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.” Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, “Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you.” And from that hour the woman was cured.
When Jesus arrived at the official’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd who were making a commotion, he said, “Go away! The girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they ridiculed him. When the crowd was put out, he came and took her by the hand, and the little girl arose. And news of this spread throughout all that land.
Thank you Mo, the blue colors in these paintings is beyond words, love all of them. I am so grateful you share this beauty with us. I look forward to them every day ❤️🤗

Hail Holy Queen

Hail, holy Queen, mother of mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Pray for us, O holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me,
Amen.
