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 †

Morning Ya’ll 🙂
Howdy, jay 🙂
Howdy Garrison 🙂
Now I want to fire up the French press.. the “back pain alarm clock” rang early this morning.
Just a small 4 oz. Cup of a medium roast Colombian will do, just so the coffee molecules fit into the opioid receptor sites we all have in our nervous systems.
It will be just enough to make me drowsy and Lord willing I will find a comfortable way to lay down. I have some things to tackle later today.
I have been fitting morphine molecules into my opiod receptors, unfortunately and do not care for it,…not at all.
Have been weaning off, as I too have some things to tackle, and do not enjoy laying around stoned and nodding all day.
Good thing you still get the sleepy scag-like response, Dutch. After a short while the comfortably numb response fades and the morphine starts to get you wired for sound, euphoria galore, where I felt like I could do anything well and usually did.
It was like being prescribed ADHD Meds only more productive. It sucks to give that functionality up but taking those things long-term as directed they will get you. One way or another.
It was non viral hepatitis and pancreatitis for me because I was so constipated all the time.
Id tell you to make some psylocybin mushroom tea to have a quick exit with no withdrawal symptoms( I know a guy that did) but that would be irresponsible and illegal unless Katie Hobbs has OK’d psylocybin treatment centers..
When you get off the pills, fresh squeezed lemon juice, fresh ginger and unpasteurized Apple cider vinegar will wake your guts up.
Morning, my friend. I am so sorry and I am all sympathy with a slight case of sciatica myself. When my husband had his life threatening events last year, he had pancreatitis as just one affliction. It was awful. Lord love you..I am glad you decided not to withdraw from the Tree. We will keep you and dutch company with prayers abounding for relief from the unremitting pain 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I don’t mean to complain. If I didn’t tell somebody I’d lose the plot. I wish I could of had friends like y’all growing up..
Well, you’ve got ’em now 💕 We are what friends are for, dear brother. Better to share your problems than to suffer alone. Your Treeper family is right beside you and all your like brothers and sisters when trouble comes a’calling. That’s what makes us unique among all sites out there. Count on it…🙏🏻😘 Bet
🙏❤️
Morning, dear dutch 💕 Here it is the updated 2024 fenbendazole protocol once more. And with it prayers for healing which I know isn’t as fast as you would hope for. Can’t keep a good man down, and you are certainly one of the best 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
https://healnavigator.com/treatments/fenbendazole-cancer-protocol/
Amen on the prayer for healing 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
Yes, Bets
Amen to your posts and prayers. There is power in numbers- so 🙏 🙏 🙏 to all Treepers who are struggling.
Good evening soaz 🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸
After I took ivermectin the first time, it helped my inflammation more than anything I have ever taken for pain due to inflammation.
Absolutely unbelievable. apparently IVM has 32 anti inflammatory pathways in the body.
If I could get reliable human grade ivermectin for a daily dose I might never have to contemplate eating another medical cannabis brownie just to be able to clean the house, or be in so much pain when I wake up that I can’t sit up let alone stand up like a modern human.
Does this help?? 🙏🏻
We keep the dreaded and much maligned horse paste on hand, and for us it is just fine. Wouldn’t that be better than nothing??
https://www.ivermectin.com/
Thank you, sis. I have a cornucopia of veterinary grade IVM, it’s. Just getting an accurate small dose out of those products is next to Impossible. Some do have extra chemicals in the solution that may not be the best for us to consume. I am not a biologist..😉
I just need to fly mexico and see a doctor. They sell IVM at the dadgone duty free shop.
CC, I’m sorry you’re in such daily pain.
We’ve ordered human ivermectin from Canada, and now have found several compounding pharmacies for it in our state. Maybe you could check out similar places?
Are you aware of The Shepherd Center in Atlanta, GA. My son went there ten years ago.
https://www.shepherd.org/
Also, have you heard of Joni Eareckson Tada?
She has a beautiful story and ministry related to her disability.
Joni’s website offers a variety of encouragements for those who are in pain … devotionals, articles, podcasts.

Prayers for your relief and comfort, CC.
🙏🏻
Thank you ma’am.

Is Monday ‘bench day’ ? If so, I’ve got an entry
I still remember bench Mondays, have been thinking about a few of my favorite benches to take photos of for posting, since Jay has revived it.
The best ones should be open now for access as of July 1…. 10,000 feet + nice view of the curvature of the Earth.
Had lunch @ one of them last week … it’s a modern bench … but the view of the rushing river snow melt is still there, but snow melt is almost over.
Might be worse now tho, we been getting heavy downpours with flash flood
watcheswarnings as I drove thru a minimum 6 inch pop up river to deliver a pizza to someone I have known for a long time… took the long way back to avoid it a 2nd time as my truck did not like it the first time, glad it did not stall out doing it the 1st time.Especially during rain seasons, I try to carry a can of WD40 in my truck. WD40 is a moisture displacement chemical. If you go through water and get worn ignition wires wet, spray them with WD40 and your motor will “magically” restart.
<WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th formula.> it does that job well, as for rusted up bolts, much better things but it is a jack of all trades in one can saving space in the trunk emergency toolbox.
Do not spray it on your battery terminals to keep them from corroding … you have been warned. /s
But that is a good dirty trick.
Yep…any and all benches qualify 👍🏻☕
Howdy Nim smart cat 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Nim,
Everyday is bench day for kitties!
Ah, you tell a story here…a nice morning walk with a brief moment on Monday’s Bench…for a quick rest…then home for coffee and breakfast and then checking the flowers….
Sometimes I have a theme Aggie and benzy got it today we’re back from a road trip 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Good Monday morn, Mr jay 💕🌷☕ Now that is a simple repast that suits very nicely on a hot summer’s day. I’m in!! And then I’m out…to sit in the garden.
Well, obviously someone else’s since this garden is clearly not in Texas…hope the owners don’t mind 😉
Maidin Mhaith Betsy what a lovely place to be in this garden 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Makes my heart go pitty pat 😍

Morning, Miss P and Ma 🌷☕🌷
Mornin’ Bets
What a lovely place to meet.
Hope all our Treeper friends in harm’s way of Beryl stay safe.
On my way out to the blast furnace while it’s “survivable” to get some outdoor chores done. 😁
I’m looking at those magnificent hostas, many which we had in our expansive Welsh garden. Too hot here of course. I suspect this is somewhere in Blighty…
Stay as cool as possible, Corny…blast furnace is right.
Found these lovely sweethearts for you this morning 😌💕
Morning jay!

Jay,
Would just love to be transported there -Right Now! Looks like maybe a fritatta. Simple food is the best. Such a beautiful setting too. Thanks ♥️
Jay… are you finally telling us all to “hit the highway”? LOL Thanks for the posting of the various renditions of a great song
Hey benzy who’d of known Depeche Mode would have covered Route 66 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
That explains EVERYTHING.
Thanks, I needed that.
I came to the site to make a prayer request and thought I’d check on the open thread first and sunnydaze posted this.
Humbled, awed, and amazed.
And no coincidence, Dave. God does direct our paths. I can attract to this personally 🙏🏻
Attest…not attract…no coffee yet.
Well, I am attracted to it.
I humbly attest it is so!
Blessings, Betsy! ❤️🙏
💕 🌷 😁 ☕ …and to you, Lorrie🙏🏻
It does!
And it’s interesting, because that exact part of the painting is what always held my attention.
Those two fingers*almost* touching.
It’s a *huge* painting, but that’s the one part that always stood out, to the exclusion of everything else.
And now…… the meaning is so obvious !
Always and maybe especially in the smallest detail. I will never see that magnificent painting in the same way again 💕🕊
The Creation of Adam is indeed a very powerful part of the Sistine Chapel painting. I stood in the chapel many tears ago and was amazed by the immensity of the work and its beauty. However, I saw it before it was cleaned and restored, and still had centuries of candle smoke stains on it making it a beige /brown The colours were hidden.
I believe when they made the movie about Michelangelo’s master piece, Michelangelo was played by Charlton Heston, it was still uncleaned and was not as it had looked when it was first painted.
The reaching of the two arms towards each other build a tension which heightens the drama of the scene. The ‘Almost Touching’ technique is used in art to build more tension in the composition.

Good morning, Garrison. I pray you are out of the way of the hurricane 🙏🏻 So far damaging but not as terrible as predicted. Looking forward to this with the usual cup of life giving ☕☕☕ 😘
Oh what the heck..I’ll raise your lovely concert with this short Monday wake-up to get the juices flowing 😁☕
Mornin’ Bet, darlin. 🙂 Yes, I’m out of the storm’s path. I have relatives in Houston, however so I’m worried about them.
Every map I look at has the path going here, going there, going in different directions. I know Houston has lost power. I’ll add an extra prayer for your family 🙏🏻😘🕊

Thank you Lord for physical therapy later today. I won’t enjoy it one iota for many moons but one day I will be able to better help those around me and by extension help myself, Amen.
Has anyone else bought one of those James Earl Jones Prayer Clocks? Mine is a bit unsettling. The voice sounds like an angry Darth Vader yelling Scripture at me at hourly intervals. It gives me fits and starts, not at all what I was hoping it would be.
Have a good morning intrepid Treehousers.
omgosh … lol ♥️

10 weeks of PT dramatically improved my balance and walking stability. I still move like Biden but I can stay reliably upright. Keep at it. And good luck, friend. 🙂
“Has anyone else bought one of those James Earl Jones Prayer Clocks? Mine is a bit unsettling. The voice sounds like an angry Darth Vader yelling Scripture at me at hourly intervals. It gives me fits and starts, not at all what I was hoping it would be.”
Sooooooo………my son loaded one of those programs on his phone where text messages from different people make different alert sounds.
Ok, not a problem.
Being a big Star Wars fan, and having a sense of humor…….he set his phone up so that when he received a text from me it would go off with Darth Vader saying “I am your father”.
Ok, not a problem.
He got married nearly ten years ago and being as it is that he knows more than I ever will about tech questions, I still have to ask him how to do some things.
One Sunday after Church I was stuck on a problem, so I sent him a text message.
I didn’t think about the Darth Vader sound.
On his phone, if he does not check his message, it makes the noise again.
I sent a series of messages, and figured when he got time he would respond. And he finally sent a response. Problem was, I then had follow up questions.
Which generated more “I am your father” noises.
PROBLEM!
Finally, I got a message along the lines of “hey, can we sort this out a bit later?”.
I replied, “sure, is everything ok?”.
He came back with “yeah, but we are sorta trying to have an intimate moment over here”.
Yikes! Sorry, carry on!!!
I can see that as being more than a little awkward when you’re still sorta newlyweds doing newlywed things and you keep hearing a phone go off with “I am your father”.
Oops!
I thought you were going to say he was in church. Lol
for the life of me, I cannot figure out why those who either dont shut off the alerts, or, not have their phone next to them (during intimate moments) always blame the people who are texting.
like the person sending the text is supposed to know it’s a bad time? shut the &$#@ alerts off then!
my brother does that a lot (“quit texting, I was ______”) as if I’m supposed to know.
😁🤣🤣😂😆 😅
On July 9, 1900 45 Christian missionaries and their children were ordered beheaded by Yuxian, governor of the Chinese province of Shanxi.
Over the summer thousands of Chinese Christians in Shanxi would meet the same fate. This was the Tai Yuan Massacre. Of course the killing of Christians during the Boxer Rebellion was not limited to only one province
If you query the internet for Chinese Exclusion Act (the president barred Chinese laborers from immigrating for 10 years) you will find article after article, with the usual dose of outrage. But query the Tai Yuan Massacre, no not much.
Today China has 45 million registered Christians, and many more unregistered.
The sacrifices of the early missionaries yielded good fruit.

Christiaan Huygens
(1629-1695)
Dutch mathematician, astronomer (discovered Saturn’s rings) and scientist (dynamics), dies at 66
Biography: Christiaan Huygens was interested in mathematics and astronomy from an early age and applied that knowledge as a young man to building and improving the telescope. After finding a new way to grind his lenses he was able to identify Saturn’s large moon Titan for the first time, using his telescope. He also made a detailed study of the nature of Saturn’s rings.
His astronomical studies led to an interest in developing a more accurate method of timekeeping, and he invented the Pendulum clock in 1656.
Huygens’ upbringing in a wealthy and influential Dutch family gave him entry to all circles. In 1666 he became one of the founding members of the Acadèmie Royale des Sciences in Paris. It was there he published his major work “Horologium Oscillatorium” in 1673.
He was friends with mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and in 1689 he met Isaac Newton in London, whom he admired, even if he privately disagreed with his theory of gravity.
Huygens is also remembered for his theory of Light, which he proposed in 1678 and published in 1690 in his work “Traité de la Lumière”.

Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. – Isaiah 43:19
There is a tradition in the game of golf known as a mulligan that allows a player to replay a stroke without suffering a penalty. Jon Acuff, a New York Times bestselling author, wrote Do Over: Rescue Monday, Reinvent Your Work, and Never Get Stuck, offering suggestions for getting restarted. In the movie City Slickers, the character portrayed by Daniel Stern complains that his life is a mess and he has lost everything: his wife, child, job, and self-respect. He longs for a do-over.
Many people make New Year’s resolutions, seeking a fresh start in certain aspects of their lives. Motivational speakers often talk about resetting personal goals. God specializes in new beginnings. Think of the many transition periods of the Israelites. They were enslaved in Egypt, they wandered in the desert, and they enjoyed prosperity in the promised land, but then they were sacked by Assyrians and taken captive by the Babylonians.
In today’s verse, God says another transition was at hand. They needed to shed the baggage they carried from “former things” (verse 18) and get about the business of change that He was directing.
God is continually at work. The worship chorus says, “You never stop, You never stop working. Even when I don’t see it, You’re working. You never stop!”
Theologian John Piper said, “God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, but you may be aware of 2 or 3 of them.”
Sometimes it is difficult to see the hand of God at work in your life amid the struggles. In your transitions, whether in optimal or challenging times, look beyond your circumstances, seek God, and trust Him. He will always make a way where there seems to be no way.
Pray for the coming election and the desire of voters for a fresh political start for America, that God would work His will in the changes.

In the appendix of his book “Is Atheism Dead”, the author, Eric Metaxas, reprinted the following regarding an op-ed he wrote to the Wall Street Journal in 2014. The book describes the science behind the concept of a fine-tuned universe, planet Earth and all biological life. These scientific discoveries can show how our faith is well founded. It is about a 5 min. read. Enjoy:
APPENDIX
The op-ed, “Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God,” was published in the Wall Street Journal on December 25, 2014. Since then, it has garnered over 600,000 Facebook shares and more than 9,250 comments, making it unofficially the most popular article in the Wall Street Journal’s history.
SCIENCE INCREASINGLY MAKES THE CASE FOR GOD
In 1966 Time magazine ran a cover story asking: “Is God Dead?” Many have accepted the cultural narrative that he’s obsolete – that as science progresses, there is less need for a “God” to explain the universe. Yet it turns out that the rumors of God’s death were premature. More amazing is that the relatively recent case for his existence comes from a surprising place – science itself.
Here’s the story: The same year Time featured the now-famous headline, the astronomer Carl Sagan announced that there were two important criteria for a planet to support life: The right kind of star, and a planet the right distance from that star. Given the roughly octillion – 1 followed by 27 zeros – planets in the universe, there should have been about septillion – 1 followed by 24 zeros – planets capable of supporting life.
With such spectacular odds, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, a large, expensive collection of private and publicly funded projects launched in the 1960’s, was sure to turn up something soon. Scientists listened with a vast radio telescopic network for signals that resembled coded intelligence and were not merely random. But as years passed, the silence from the rest of the universe was deafening. Congress defunded SETI in 1993, but the search continues with private funds. As of 2014, researchers have discovered precisely bubkis – 0 followed by nothing.
What happened? As our knowledge of the universe increased, it became clear that there were far more factors necessary for life than Sagan supposed. His two parameters grew to 10 and then 20 and then 50, and so the number of potentially life-supporting planets decreased accordingly. The number dropped to a few thousand planets and kept on plummeting.
Even SETI proponents acknowledged the problem. Peter Schenkel wrote in a 2006 piece for Skeptical Inquirer magazine: “In light of new findings and insights, it seems appropriate to put excessive euphoria to rest…. We should quietly admit that the early estimates…. May no longer be tenable.”
As factors continued to be discovered, the number of possible planets hit zero, and kept going. In other words, the odds turned against any planet in the universe supporting life, including this one. Probability said that even we shouldn’t be here.
Today there are more than 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life – every single one of which must be perfectly met, or the whole thing falls apart. Without a massive planet like Jupiter nearby, whose gravity will draw away asteroids, a thousand times as many would hit Earth’s surface. The odds against life in the universe are simply astonishing.
Yet here we are, not only existing, but talking about existing. What can account for it? Can every one of those many parameters have been perfect by accident? At what point is it fair to admit that science suggests that we cannot be the result of random forces? Doesn’t assuming that an intelligence created these perfect conditions require far less faith than believing that a life-sustaining Earth just happened to beat the inconceivable odds to come into being?
There’s more. The fine-tuning necessary for life to exist on a planet is nothing compared with the fine-tuning required for the universe to exist at all. For example, astrophysicists now know that the values of the four fundamental forces – gravity, the electromagnetic force and the “strong” and “weak” nuclear forces – were determined less than one millionth of a second after the Big Bang. Alter any one value and the universe could not exist. For instance, if the ratio between the nuclear strong force and the electromagnetic force had been off by the tiniest fraction of the tiniest fraction – by even one part in 100,000,000,000,000,000 – then no stars could have ever formed at all. Feel free to gulp.
Multiply that single parameter by all the other necessary conditions, and the odds against the universe existing are so heart-stoppingly astronomical that the notion that it all “just happened” defies common sense. It would be like tossing a coin and having it come up heads 10 quintillion times in a row. Really?
Fred Hoyle, the astronomer who coined the term “Big Bang,” said that his atheism was “greatly shaken” at these developments. He later wrote that a “common-sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super-intellect has monkeyed with the physics, as well as with chemistry and biology…. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question.”
Theoretical physicist Paul Davies has said that “the appearance of design is overwhelming” and Oxford professor Dr. John Lennox has said “the more we get to know about our universe, the more the hypothesis that there is a Creator…. Gains in credibility as the best explanation of why we are here.”
The greatest miracle of all time, without any close seconds, is the universe. It is the miracle of all miracles, one that ineluctably points with the combined brightness of every star to something – or Someone – beyond itself.
If I ever were to waver in my belief in God, this would overwhelmingly snap me back into the realization, without God there is no beginning! 🙏
Verse of the Day for Monday, July 8, 2024
✟
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.”
1 John 4:16 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
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.
Shield us!
Protect us!

PLEASE PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER
GOD’S GREAT LOVE
When God gave His Only Begotten Son;
The ransom for souls – the victory won;
He demonstrated His great love to be;
For all His Beloved – for you and me!
By the Blood of the Lamb – we are redeemed;
There’s no other way it could be it seemed;
His sacrifice was pure – untainted by sin;
Let the suffering end – His new life begin!
There is no greater love one man can give;
Than to lay down His life and to forgive;
He forgave His oppressors – yes He did;
His victory over death – all amid!
What does God want in return for His love?
Is it peace among men or branch of olive?
For what do we strive to do day after day?
What is it we need – to live only His way?
We must love Him with our mind, heart, and soul;
Serve Him through others – His heart to console;
Serve no other gods – no idols have we;
The servant of all – He wants us to be!
We must keep our Sabbath to worship Him;
Not just for one day – but surely passim;
We must honor our earthly mother and dad;
The best of caretakers we ever had!
We must not kill our brother – any way;
In spirit or slander or libel – betray;
We must take not – what belongs not to us;
Or covet the goods of another thus!
We must not covet the wife of any man;
Or lust in our hearts because we can;
No envy or malice can we keep inside;
Nor from God should we ever seek to hide!
We must love our neighbor as Jesus loved;
Do all that we can – make him so beloved;
For it is in giving that we will receive;
And it is in dying – we come to believe!
Dying to self – to follow Jesus, Our Lord;
Is that which will bring us to full accord;
Keeping His Word – we must strive to do;
For God’s Great Love lives in me and you!

HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY !!! ❤️❤️❤️
Just some songs for a Monday… hope they bring some joy
In that mix is the song “Chicago” which was about the riots at the Democrat National Convention in Cicago in 1968, which also reminds me that the Democrats are holding their Convention in Chicago once again…. for the first time since 1968. Given the current turmoil among Democrats, could this be a repeat performance?
If it turns out it be a repeat performance………no one will know as the media will not report it in the same way they did not report on Biden’s cognitive decline, which I would think they HAD to know about, until the debate when there was utterly no hiding it.
And still……..some in the media want to act as if people did not see what they saw.
Project 2025…Why is it a focal point for Democrat Mis/Dis information on social media? (Especially X) I read the document and believe it has some excellent points on returning our government to the people. I searched this platform and see a few comments speaking ill of Project 2025. I have not seen, however, any in-depth analysis but TCTH related to the document as a policy instrument, or otherwise. IAW the “E-mail Policy” I am placing this query here to generate discussion with the hopes of understanding why it seems Project 2025 is becoming a “third rail” element for DJT. Here is the document: https://www.project2025.org/policy/

PROPHETIC WORD:
JGM – AN ELECTION IS NEAR BUT NOT AS YOU SUPPOSE – [8 July 2024]
Spend more time with God, receiving what He has to say, what He wants you to do. This is a time to PRESS IN. Press into God, to the things He’s been telling us. Press into His revelation. Press into His Glory. It’s time to PRESS IN. He’s given us even greater revelation about exposures that are happening. It’s not just exposures in politics and govts. It’s exposure on all fronts…even people in the churches who say they are of God. It’s imitation power, revelation, even the prophetic. IT’S TIME FOR THE REAL. You’re going to see the real from the fake, the imposters. God is saying IT’S TIME TO SEE AND EXPERIENCE THE REAL POWER AND GLORY OF ALMIGHTY GOD….IT’S TIME TO FOCUS ON HIM AND NOT A PERSON. IT’S TIME TO PRESS INTO HIM FOR YOU TO HAVE A GREATER RELATIONSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM…FOR YOU TO HAVE GREATER REVELATION OF HIM…TO STEP INTO THAT GLORY UPON GLORY UPON GLORY WHICH HE IS GIVING TO US NOW. This is time where the heavens are open to the children of Almighty God who are willing to stand and press in and receive this MIGHTY OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY GHOST AND THE POWER HE’S GIVING TO US IN THIS HOUR. The enemies are losing power, steam, strength…but God is pouring out His power. He’s strengthening His power. He’s giving them more to endure, to press in and not give in and not quit. This is such a PIVOTAL moment in the Body of Christ.
It looked like it was a hot mess, it was divided, religion was taking over man-made doctrines and legalism…and it was destroying the power and glory of Almighty God, what He had for us. It’s the time of UNITY. God’s separating the wheat from the chaff, the goat from the sheep, the fake from the real. IT’S TIME WHERE I AM DOING A NEW THING…REVIVAL…HE WANTS A GLORY REVIVAL ACROSS THIS LAND AND ACROSS THE EARTH. HE’S DOING A NEW THING. THIS IS A TIME WHERE YOU WERE WEAK I AM MAKING YOU STRONG.
MORE….

. . . . . . . A TOTAL RESET OF A GOVERNMENT … JG, heard 7-03-24
Dear Representatives of Jesus Christ!
Our July 4th celebration is now history, but we still have a future Independence Day to celebrate, according to this word from the Lord, given to us by Prophet Julie. In HIS Eyes, it is already done. He wants us to look through the eyes of FAITH and DECLARE it and CELEBRATE it now! Let’s do it!
Father God, we come in agreement in Jesus’ Name. THANK YOU for encouraging us to see with eyes of FAITH. THANK YOU that You have BLESSED our nation because it was given to You by the ones who founded it. We reaffirm that covenant with you, and we CELEBRATE our cleansed and reborn nation NOW.
Your Word says, in Job 22:28, “You will also DECLARE a thing, and it will be established for you.” THANK YOU for the privilege of partnering with You, as we come in alignment with what You have spoken, and we DECLARE it on earth, in Jesus Name:
– Our nation belongs to ALMIGHTY GOD.
– We are one nation UNDER GOD, not under man.
– Our freedom comes from God, not from man, and man cannot take it away.
– We celebrate our independence from The Establishment and from the Globalists.
– God is already moving in our land as we see His words being fulfilled in the fall of The Biden, indictments foiled, resignations, exposures, and more.
– The judgment the enemies tried to pass down on so many will be passed down onto them.
– Almighty God has seen the affliction, the stealing, and the manipulation – not only from the government, but from their mouthpieces in the Media.
– They have mocked the Almighty God.
– They have tried to destroy this nation and every person that went against them and their agenda.
– This is a time of God’s judgment against them.
– This is the time where God’s Hand will move and remove the ones that are against Him, to set this nation free from this great tyranny.
– Our victory is at the door.
– Our victory is guaranteed.
Part 2 – God has heard our cries and our prayers for this nation – millions all over the world praying for the freedom in this nation from the ones who have tried to tear it apart.
– We see all the damage they have caused this nation, but ALMIGHTY GOD CAN UNDO IT ALL IN A DAY, WHEN HE HAS HIS WAY.
– We say, LORD, HAVE YOUR WAY!
– God will say again “AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
– YOU ARE STILL BEAUTIFUL IN MY SIGHT.”
– God sees us how we were always meant to be.
– God sees us as a BLESSED nation, as a UNITED nation.
– God sees us as a POWERFUL nation.
– JUSTICE will prevail.
– LIBERTY and FREEDOM will be celebrated as never before.
– God sees people looking to Him again, and inviting Him back into the places He used to be in.
– When God is in these places, GOODNESS and JUSTICE, FREEDOM and LIBERTY and JOY can be received again.
– We will watch the fall of the indictments that God has told us repeatedly would fail.
– We will watch prisoners, wrongfully imprisoned, be set free. – We will see jobs restored.
– We will watch all that God will do for us to restore us as a nation, to turn our mourning into joy once again.
Part 3 (FINAL) – As we see SHAKING, OVERREACH OF POWER, CHAOS IN OUR STREETS, UNPRECEDENTED and UNCONVENTIONAL things take place, we will remember that GOD IS OUR VICTORY and OUR ENEMY’S DEFEAT.
– AMERICA belongs to God. – We will experience that again, but to a greater degree.
– REMOVALS have begun.
– A CLEANSING has started.
– A TOTAL RESET OF A GOVERNMENT WILL BE SEEN, AND IT WILL BE UNDENIABLE. It could not have been done by anyone other than God.
– GOD IS OUR VICTORY.
– We receive this joy and celebrate this time and expect God’s Glory to flood our nation, to bring a GREAT RESTORATION of what rightfully belongs to us.
Heavenly Father, we STAND IN for all our brothers and sisters in Christ who have not heard this word, as we say YES, LORD, WE RECEIVE ALL YOU DESIRE FOR THE USA, and WE THANK YOU for YOUR BLESSINGS UPON OUR LAND.
Father, we appeal to You for all our brothers and sisters in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, South Africa, England, other European countries and elsewhere around the world, that You would also set their nations free. Many of them pray for America every day, Lord, and we are so thankful. We ask You to visit their nations with Your same Great Power, overthrow tyrannical governments, and set Your People free.
We PRAISE YOU and THANK YOU for all You are doing in every nation. In the Mighty Name of JESUS CHRIST, our Savior, we pray.
Amen.

Worst is over. Lots of trees down. Lots through houses. Big pine fell through front of neighbors house. 2.1 M w/o power.
Interesting articles regarding NeoCons vs Russia: https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/category/world-news/neocons/
And now a recipe with a mystery :
This is a U.K. recipe for what is basically a ‘cheese and leek quiche’ from this website. https://thehappyfoodie.co.uk/recipes/mary-berrys-leek-and-stilton-quiche/
There is one problem with it. Maybe its just me and everyone else ‘gets it’?
If you read down the recipe you will come to a part that calls for ‘baking beans’.
The instructions are to place the pastry shell into an oven for period of time to bake it, so it is ready for the creamy/cheesy filling to be poured in, and then the pie returned to the oven to finish being cooked.
But it also says to place baking paper (parchment paper? ) 0ver the empty pastry shell, and pour on top of that paper the dried baking beans before placing it into the oven.
After some time you remove the pastry shell… remove the parchment paper…. remove the beans, and pour into the baked empty pasty shell, the cheesy filling and chopped leeks etc (see recipe.) return quiche to oven to continue the baking process. I’m baffled.
PS. I haven’t tried this recipe yet.
I haven’t had much experience in making quiches, so forgive my ignorance, but what the heck does one do with the beans. Why were they included? There is no instruction on what the beans were for?
edit. better explanation:
“Baking beans, also known as pie weights or pie beans, are small, usually ceramic or metal beads used in baking to weigh down a pie or tart crust while it is baking without a filling. The process of baking a pie crust without the filling is called blind baking. Blind baking is often done to prevent the crust from becoming soggy when filled with wet ingredients or to ensure that the crust is fully cooked before adding a filling that requires minimal baking.
Here’s how you can use baking beans to blind bake a pie crust:
Prepare your pie crust according to your recipe and place it in a pie dish.Prick the base of the crust with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking.Line the crust with parchment paper or aluminum foil, making sure to cover the edges as well.Fill the lined crust with baking beans, distributing them evenly across the bottom.Place the pie dish with the crust and baking beans in the preheated oven and bake according to your recipe’s instructions.After the initial baking time, carefully remove the parchment paper or foil with the baking beans.Return the crust to the oven to allow it to finish baking and develop a golden color.Once the crust is fully baked, you can fill it with your desired filling and continue with the rest of the recipe. After using the baking beans, allow them to cool completely before storing them for future use. Baking beans are reusable and can be used multiple times for blind baking.”
Thank you very much Tea jr.. I really appreciate the time you spent and the clarity of your explanation. I had never hear of ‘baking beans’ but you learn something every day.
They hold the shape of crust during pre-bake.
I don’t know that I’d have the patience or interest at learning all these knots now.
But dang, I’m gonna show this to some kids cuz I think they’d *love* learning this!
(and maybe I’ll learn some of ’em in the process)
EVENING PRAYERS
Prayer Of Thanksgiving In The Evening
Praise Your holy name Heavenly Father, for granting yet another day in my life and for being with me every step of the way. Thank You for the many blessings that You have provided and the love and fellowship that I have with the friends and family that in Your grace You have placed in my life.
My heart is so thankful for all the many blessings that I enjoy day by day, and today I am once again reminded that Your mercies are new every morning and Your faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
Thank You, that I have been brought into Your family and have been made a child of God and a citizen of heaven. Words cannot express my love and devotion to You Lord
I pray that You would watch over me as I rest tonight, and that You would give me a restful night’s sleep so that I may wake up in the morning refreshed in body and spirit and ready to do Your will. Guard all those that I love and may we all grow in grace and in a knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ in the days that lie ahead. This I ask in His precious name,

Prayer Of Reflection On The Past Day
Loving Lord, as the day is coming to an end, I want to thank You for being with me in all that has taken place today. I also want to lay the whole day before You, asking that you would show me if there is anything that I have done to hurt or harm another person unknowingly, or if I have done anything that is displeasing in Your sight, or quenched the work of the Spirit in me, so that I may turn away from such things in the days that lie ahead.
Lord, I desire to do Your will in all things. I pray that You would cleanse me of any wrong thoughts or attitudes that may have surfaced in my heart today. Wash me in Your cleansing flood, I pray.
Thank You, that You are a God who forgives our transgressions when we are willing to confess them to You, knowing that such cleansing before You immediately draws us back into sweet fellowship with Yourself.
Give me a good night’s rest I pray, and may I rest quietly in Your loving arms in the knowledge that in Christ, I am eternally secure, due to Your amazing grace, for which I praise You. In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

Evening Prayer For Forgiveness
Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing me through this day and Lord, forgive me for the times when I have wandered outside Your best will for me, instead of trusting You implicitly.
Thank You, that You are such a gracious Shepherd to me and that You come and rescue me even when I lose my way and stray from the path that You have laid out for me.
As I look back over today, I know Lord that there were things that I should have said and done differently, and times when I reacted in a manner that was not honouring Your holy name. Forgive me I pray, but thank You, Father, that You always faithfully prepared to gently bring me back to Yourself.
Give me a good night’s sleep I pray, knowing that there is no condemnation because I am in Christ, and may I wake up in the morning refreshed and ready to do Your will. In Jesus’ name I pray,
Amen.

I saw one of these Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher’s in my backyard Blackhaws. When I first spotted him I thought “It’s too early for a Black-Throated Blue Warbler” as I saw the flash of blue. I than noted the longish tail and very small size and realized it was a Gnatcatcher, a first for my yard. You never know what could turn up, which is one of the many facets of Birding that is so much fun. Now hopefully those Blackhaws are finally going to fruit next year as I bought the proper pollinator Blackhaws so they can flower & fruit and draw more birds in.
Colkitto, it’s good to see you back, especially knowing that you’re okay!
I missed your posts, and others did, too.
What a little beauty — have never seen one!
I had to laugh at your statement – you never know what could turn up.”
Look what appeared in our yard a few months ago!
Mr. Tom came back the next day, too, on the truck.
He saw his reflection in the windshield and wanted to fight it.
Colkitto, here’s a little something for your breakfast this week …
You remembered my love for sconces. Now you have started a craving for some! Nice to see you Ma’am. Big ty for scrumptious pic and reminder to get some!
Haha! You never know. That is one bird that never made it as a yard bird, but was close once, saw them 2 houses up the street where my beloved woods started.
I hope Patty sees this. I do like Neil Young’s earlier works, especially with Buffalo Springfield. I hope you all enjoy it.
Don’t Let It Bring You Down
A gem, indeed! Well worth the suspense and the wait. Love your posts.
just about my favorite Neil song
only Expecting to Fly edges it out
You have great taste nim, love that song. Arguably his best imo. It also has special meaning to me. My dog loved that song
Sliced steak with sambal, squeeze of lime, and cilantro leaf
High-protein, low-carb lunch dish I used to get on Bali surf trips
These days I have it at home, all you need is the sambal, squeeze of lime juice on steak slices, and chopped cilantro leaf.
Lately I’ve also been chopping up red jalapeno peppers to make a little crunchy pile to munch on with each bite of steak and cilantro as well
yum
look for it in the Asian section of your supermarket
there are variants with names like garlic chili sauce, etc, but this is the one I really like
That sounds delicious my friend. Ty. Always love recipes & food ideas.
Jordan Peterson interview with Tommy Robinson, 1 hr 45 min. titled “Why the Establishment Hates this Man”
Turns out there will be a part 2 to this interview which hasn’t happened yet.
I honestly believe everyone that can take the time to listen should listen to this interview. Turns out that there are some excellent observations of what’s going on not only in the UK, but here in the US as well as other western nations as well as things to watch out for so MAGA doesn’t fall into traps;
and
at the end of July, think it’s the 27th, there is a scheduled rally which is aimed to get the British citizens back into remembering just who they are and what Britain means to them. Kind of a take-back their land, very much like what the voters for Le Pen of France and Orban of Hungary and UK’s Farage and PDJT are trying to do in each of our countries.
Thanks Bessie.. It sounds good. I will pass it on after watching it..

Our pastor is doing a sermon series through Kings. Last week he preached on Hezekiah and how God fought against the Assyrian army.
An elder’s wife posted this poem.
The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,
And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;
And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,
When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
Like the leaves of the forest when Summer is green,
That host with their banners at sunset were seen:
Like the leaves of the forest when Autumn hath blown,
That host on the morrow lay withered and strown.
For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed;
And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!
And there lay the steed with his nostril all wide,
But through it there rolled not the breath of his pride;
And the foam of his gasping lay white on the turf,
And cold as the spray of the rock-beating surf.
And there lay the rider distorted and pale,
With the dew on his brow, and the rust on his mail:
And the tents were all silent, the banners alone,
The lances unlifted, the trumpet unblown.
And the widows of Ashur are loud in their wail,
And the idols are broke in the temple of Baal;
And the might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword,
Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord!
It is such a powerful expression of what God can do for His people.
We are not fighting this alone.

A wonderful poem. I have always loved it. I had to learn that at school, many, many years ago when scripture was taught as a subject at my Girls grammar school in Cheshire. Three classes a week by a lady who was mad about the 1st and 2nd books of Kings. Thank you Miss Dawson where ever you are. 🙂
Bannon.
“His globally successful podcast cannot broadcast his actual voice, as I understand the prison regulations.
Mr Bannon can’t even follow the Presidential campaign, via online news. He can’t tweet. He can’t livestream. He can’t record for later transmission.
His mass-movement-mobilizing, unyielding, Constitution-defending voice has been cut off from the flowing lifeblood of journalism and of politics: from the digital world.
The thousand and one restrictions that circle his every action round, in the next four months, will require tremendous fortitude to resist psychologically. His physical incarceration seems like a secondary outcome of what seems to be the primary goal of his sentence — that is to say, the removal of Steve Bannon from the stream of public conversation, public guidance, public mobilization; and from the public resistance to the murderous globalist plans for us all.
So let me say this:
Where the hell are you, everyone?
Where are you, Conservatives? Libertarians? Independents? Hell, where are you, liberal Americans?
Anyone, anyone, who claims to care about an open society and due process of law?
Where are you, “freedom-lovers”?
Where are you, alt-media?
Do you not realize what time it is?”
“We have, as the whole world saw during the recent Presidential debate, that true symbol of a Banana Republic: a puppet leader.
But in the last few months, the hallmark final events signaling a murdered democracy have started to unfold in earnest.
This is the stage of the physical mopping-up of the opposition.”
