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 †

“‘Key to Revolving Door’: FDA Tells Staff Who Leave for Pharma Jobs They Can Work ‘Behind the Scenes’ to Influence Agency”
“So, people will leave government service and can immediately start doing influence peddling and lobbying,” Holman said. “They can even run a lobbying campaign, as long as they don’t actually pick up the telephone and make the contact with their former officials — and that’s exactly the advice that’s being given here.”
Holman told The Defender the legally sanctioned revolving door between U.S. regulators and the industries they regulate is “the most pernicious influence-peddling scheme available to wealthy special interests. ”

On July 4, 2012 in San Diego, California, thousands of people gathered for the ‘Big Bay Boom,’ attending what they thought would be a 17 minute show.
Instead, 7,000 fireworks accidentally went off all at same time.
The fireworks were triggered from a computer however a glitch in the software changed everything.
The 17 minute show lasted just 30 seconds but was remembered as one of the greatest firework shows of all time.
Happy 4th
EVENING PRAYERS
For America In A Time Of National Crisis
Dear Father, there is much happening with our nation at the moment as we are facing a time of crises. The nation seems to be teetering on the edge of destruction and our government seems to have little ability or will to reverse what is coming upon our land and its citizens. Lord, there is increasing unrest and we ask that You guide our nation through this difficult period.
Lord, we pray for all in authority over our land and ask that You would lead and guide the decisions they are to make in this time of crises. We ask that those in leadership positions would be given the wisdom and ability to address all that is looming on the home-front at this present time. Give them grace to govern according to Your will, and may they not be motivated by self-interest, greed or party politics, but rather may they be led to guide our nation onto the path of peace and safety that only comes from You.
Protect all those that are in any way at risk or are suffering from lack or from fear of what is happening in this time of national crises. May we as a people unite together under Your banner of truth, to support and encourage each other, as we face this national crises together, as one nation under God.
Amen.

A Prayer For Our Country
Lord God and Heavenly King, You alone are the Lord of the earth and King of the universe, and You alone can revive and restore the United States Of America and bring us back under Your own Sovereign rule.
Give our President, together with his advisors and the whole of his administration, the wisdom and grace to turn from the ungodly path that they are following, and may they set this nation back on the path of trusting in God.
Motivate all our congressmen to strive for integrity and wisdom in all the choices and decisions they make, and may those that are entrusted as judges and lawmakers, likewise act in righteousness, impartiality and integrity as they work for the benefit of all people, and to the honour of Your holy name.
Heavenly King, we place our nation at your feet, and pray that we may once again serve You as a nation. May Your will be done in the once greatest nation of the world, the United States of America.
Amen.
“for kings and all those who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity.”
(1 Timothy 2:2)

For The Elected Government To Act Wisely
Loving Lord and judge of all the nations, we come before You in sadness of spirit, knowing that our once great nation has fallen into such a sad and sorry state of repair. Revive us we pray, and restore us, for we have no help, except in You alone.
Guide the governors, legislators, sheriffs and all those men and women that are in senior positions of power, both in local and national government. Give them grace and wisdom to guide our nation back from the path of destruction, and onto the path where God is the One in Whom we place our trust.
Lord, we know that when a nation turns their back on You, they have turned from the path of freedom. We pray that in Your grace and patient loving-kindness, You would bring us back to the place where You are honoured in this land so that we may once again be a nation of free people.
Forgive us for our foolishness and from deviating from the path of truth onto this winding path to destruction. Forgive us that You have not been placed in Your rightful position in the governance of our nations, and may we turn back to Yourself, both individually and nationally. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Just for today: My favorite video of the National Anthem is the 2015 NHL game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Nashville Predators when things go wrong and the Canadian fans step in to help:
Later, Nashville returns the favor:
The people are so much more than their dodgy leadership. God Bless America and thank you Canada. May we work together toward the light.
Joe Joe
Well said, Joe Joe. It was an emotional and beautiful gesture on both sides. We shall both overcome our dodgy so-called ‘leadership’ God Bless America on her special day!
Movie Quote of the Day
“A shepherd must tend to his flock… and at times… fight off the wolves.”
Staying Alive
Staying Alives takes Saturday Night Fever’s Tony Manero out of Brooklyn to Broadway. As a wannabe dancer struggling to make it on the stage, John Travolta is at his sexy, sizzling best. Girl-next-door Cynthia Rhodes (Flashdance, Dirty Dancing) and vampy Finola Hughes (General Hospital, All My Children) compete for Tony’s heart. Co-written and directed by superstar Sylvester Stallone, Staying Alive features an electrifying Bee Gees soundtrack and some of the most memorable dance sequences ever staged on screen.
I LOVE the BeeGees! They were great songwriters.
In order to read this, I imagine one must need a Nextdoor account (perish the thought!).
It is about local management conduct of Lindt at the Kittery Mall in southern York County Maine, toward a disabled 71-year man whose entire social live revolved around the Mall.

PRAY FOR TRUMP
lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and his family as they seek to lead America back to You. Also, we pray for Angels to protect and support our Sundance as he works for justice and peace.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall. Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
And prayers up for all political prisoners. Prayers up for Julian Assange and for all the protesters of January 6 who were or are entrapped in DC.
Thank you Father, for Your love and the gift of Life.
A prayer for members of the CTH that they remain strong and clear thinking and that the site remain a bastion of freedom and continue to spread the facts of our current dilemma to millions in this country and across the globe. That the light of freedom inspired by our Creator and enshrined in our founding never be extinguished by acts of man.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen
Amen
Thank you, Monticello.
Wasn’t sure you were gonna make it tonight. Please pardon my presumptuous post.
Nothing presumptuous about it. I am very grateful that you stepped in for me. I had gone to a July 4th get together and didn’t get back in time to post it. So, again, thank you.
Amen
Amen.
Amen.
Amen
