Dear Q-Tree, Something apparently came up with Bako Carl so that he wasn’t able to get his usual Sunday post up. Seeing no other subbed in posts this is basically a Sunday placeholder. Please pray for Carl as we don’t know what is keeping him from his typical uplifting post.
This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
I went searching Bible Gateway for “be still and know” and found this timely inspiration!
Psalm 46 New International Version
Psalm 46[a]
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth.[b] A song.
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Hey guys, I saw that Carl didn’t get his usual post up so quickly got this placeholder Sunday post in place. Here’s what was shared about Carl on Saturday’s post:

Wolfie, I am not sure what happened to bakocarl. I saw him make a comment or two and a few likes at The Crow’s Nest, but he didn’t publish an opener tonight. I posted one of his old openers instead, but there’s no sign of Carl. I didn’t have an email from him or anything, so obviously something came up. Saying a prayer all is well for him. But I wanted you to know, too, so you could make other arrangements.

From Joe Rambo – “19 states have seceded.” . . . but no source . . . not even a general, non-specific source!
Why? Well, clearly, because it’s not needed! Joe Rambo has special, super-secret, deep on the inside sources that only he has access to . . . and if you don’t believe that, either you’re not paying attention or you have a complete failure to think logically. Nothing could be simpler or more obvious!

At some point Carl posted a Sunday Thread here so probably the bulk of the conversation will continue there!

Carl checked in on his Sunday post.

All’s well . . . fell asleep!
Thank you, Valerie! Praying for Carl. 🙏
Yes, thank you Val and hoping Carl is well. As Coothie pointed out he was about today many hours ago.
Yes & amen 🙂
TY TT Hopefully there will be some kind of report on Carl from Sylvia or Marica soon 🙏
Nasty Jenna spreading fear about Nasty Nimarata for VP:
Pull my finger.
LOL
VP? LOL!
If the wind is blowing, she’s changing her position. She just angered millions of patriots with her comments following the verdict against Trump. Now it looks as if she’s trying to claw her way into people’s good graces. Nikki just needs to go away.
Shouldn’t that be “a Little, Brown Book” (or pile, actually)…
(Little, Brown is a publisher… they deserve better than her… Actually, there are TWO Little, Browns [won’t say it…], the one I mean is Little, Brown and Company. The other one has more than a passing connection to the Maxwell empire and rabid feminism, etc. Hmmm. That could work for Trikki Nikki as well…)…..
One Sounders if Jenna was a plant?
It sure is looking that way 🙁
Yup
🙂
You could be right… she’s as smart as a vegetable.
You sound like Barns 😅
😉
Think for a moment just how ridiculous this is.
A national anthem is an anthem for… wait for it… a nation. There was a time when something that obvious would not have needed to be pointed out, but education standards aren’t what they once were.
For example, The Star-Spangled Banner is the American national anthem.
So what nation is the BLACK National Anthem for?
Where is the Nation of Black?
Who founded the Nation of Black, and who wrote their Constitution?
Nation of Islam???
Where is the Nation of islam?
Can anyone find it on a map?
Who founded the Nation of islam?
Who wrote their Constitution?
Where are their borders, and who defends them?
You see, it’s all nonsense.
Someone else, like Gail?, could speak to it better than I could. It seems that hardcore Muslims think the whole world should be under Islam & work to make every land where they find themselves part of the caliphate, iirc. Once the Muslim population of a nation reaches like 10% then social collapse is immanent as they tear down lands that haven’t bowed the knee to blood-thirsty Mohammaddans.
I know it’s not the same as what you are saying but it is a reality to be addressed…
I’m looking for a table I’ve seen before on the topic, haven’t found yet, but this link has helpful info.
https://gatesofvienna.net/2018/02/the-islamization-of-europe-the-evidence/
haven’t been able to find the exact info I wanted… 🙁
“It seems that hardcore Muslims think the whole world should be under Islam & work to make every land where they find themselves part of the caliphate, iirc.”
____________
Of course, that’s what Mo teaches, so that’s what they do. Following Mo is easy, it’s just following a man’s natural lust for carnality.
That’s why islam is so attractive to young men.
.
“Once the Muslim population of a nation reaches like 10% then social collapse is immanent as they tear down lands that haven’t bowed the knee to blood-thirsty Mohammaddans.”
___________
I have always read that it’s less than that, between 5% and 7% is when they make their move.
.
“I know it’s not the same as what you are saying but it is a reality to be addressed…”
_____________
Right, I was talking about the psy-op word games the enemy uses to make themselves appear as bigger and more powerful than they really are.
There is no Nation of Black, just as their is no Nation of islam, it’s all psy-op BS, the twisting of language for propaganda and political purposes, which is always about power and subjugation of others.
.
The answer to the problem(s) is simple, and would only take days to accomplish.
All men have to do is stand up.
But in order to do that, women have to get out of the way.
And they won’t, not enough of them to matter.
They will literally become slaves to an islamic caliphate, before they would get out of the way.
Now, someone might say “Well men should be men, instead of emasculated soy bois”, and I agree, but most men today were raised in the era of radical feminism, where any man who asserts himself in even the slightest way is instantly labeled a misogynist.
The accuser doesn’t have to have an argument, or even a credible point, she can just play the ‘misogynist’ card.
And most men, in a hyper feminist society, have no idea how to deal with that, in the same way that most people have no idea how to deal with being called a ‘racist’ or a ‘homophobe’.
So the feminist women will get (and are getting) what they always wanted.
I don’t think they’re going to be happy with what they get, but we’ll see.
I expect you are pretty spot on w/ this assessment. That percentage was between 5 & 7 in my mind but I’m like surely I’m misremembering so I fudged the # higher to be safe 😉
So many things that are happening or have happened in our society are outlined in these Commie goals 😡
https://specialconnections.wordpress.com/2019/08/24/democrats-are-the-communists-now/
I saw a show recently on Netflix, Traitors, depicting the post WWII era in England. There was a mini plot involving a couple of black American men who admitted to the lure of communism for blacks. It seems that as a race there was/is some pretty big manipulation going on there.
“all psy-op BS” is a great summary of the insidious evil.
So I guess this weekend the WA DC Hamas wing of the demonrat party have been protesting other demons at their homes. I think Blinkens house was one… this is another. What a hoot!
It’s great when they turn on each other. The less united they are, the better.
Yes, unfortunately avoiding such may well be another reason why they are waiting to gang up on Biden at the Demon Convention. One and done and they avoid all sorts of intercene warfare… Drats! 😎
I don’t think the protesters care about the convention, though. They will continue to attack Dem leaders for “not supporting Hamas.”
My first thought was, why aren’t the Hamas protesters throwing Molotov cocktails at him for waving the Israeli flag?
That would normally justify burning down the whole block, at least.
Then I realized the protesters were just a handful of girls, chanting and rhyming like high school cheerleaders 😂
They probably wouldn’t make the cheerleading squad, at that…
Oh, wait: The Squad… or maybe, the squids…
Thank you, Valerie.
One of the peculiarities of our “system” here is, if a post isn’t made, there’s no place to put comments praying for the missing poster. If Carl joins us later today, he’ll know that we finessed that.
Amen. & nowadays there are usually so many comments that having a “daily” suffice for more than one day isn’t very practical like it might (still) be at the UTree, for instance.
Interesting. Insurance companies getting ahead of the game… Who’d of thunk…?
Uh Oh: Insurance Companies Change Their Terms Regarding ‘War, Riot, or Insurrection’ [VIDEO]
“Exclusions and Expenses Not Covered on the 2024 Cigna Health Insurance policy:
Treatment of an injury or sickness which is due to war, declared or undeclared, riot or insurrection.”

They would never dream of turning away any member of a protected-class, or the protected-class would burn down their headquarters.
So this will only apply to white people, per usual.
Is this meant to include biowarfare?
Here’s a moving rendition of the National Anthem from a previous Detroit Lions game.

Circular breathing is incredibly difficult to do! This guy just put on a circular breathing masterclass. Made it look easy.

Yup. Circular breathing. You could see his cheeks puff when he used the air in his mouth while breathing in through his nose.
It’s almost impossible to learn and do well…
💙 Go Lions! 💙
Here’s a flavor of the Detroit Lions season featuring hometown hero, Dan Miller, who is the radio voice for the Lions & the regular sports guy, complete class act, for Fox channel 2 local news. Hubby has our sound system radio channel tuned to 97.1 so he can switch over to hear Dan’s big calls on major plays on Lions game days.
Here’s hoping the Lions do well in today’s NFC championship game!
💙 Go Lions! 💙
Lions fell to the 49ers in a hard fought NFC championship game. We were amazing in the first half but had a lot of things go wrong in the second half & couldn’t deliver a victory. The winning quarterback, Brock Purdy, gave glory to God on the victor’s stand so my prayers were answered, that God would be glorified.
Heartbroken but hopeful going forward. Love you Lions 💙
Back in the day, there was a practice known as “nattering and grommishing” that was well-known in the theater — and, thus, in the film biz once there were talkies.
It turns out that a small group of people — maybe ten — can sound like a crowd scene if one half goes “natter, natter, natter, natter” while the other goes “grommish, grommish, grommish, grommish” (obviously, this has to be done at a distance such that any individual voice cannot be isolated).
There is an obvious relationship to Etaoin Shrdlu. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etaoin_shrdlu ].
The reason I mention this is that I am uncomfortable with what little Faith I manage. The Scriptures say to pray all the time, but I fear nattering and grommishing unto The Lord. On those occasions when I feel called to prayer, I try to structure something more formal — and frequently make notes in advance — then clear externalities and deliver my prayer with concentration and attention and respect.
Some of you, like Valerie and bakocarl, make this all seem so much easier and more casual, which makes me wonder whether I am just doing this wrong. I wonder if I’m just auditioning for the part of “doubting Cthulhu”.
That’s a good question. I’ve been wondering myself, I sometimes am praying and asking for things and giving thanks with my inside voice while going through daily duties – like an ongoing conversation, and I’ve wondered if that’s acceptable. When I wait until the end of the day I always fall asleep and wake up on my knees, and that definitely seems wrong. Keeping a list of things to pray though actually seems like a good idea for me someone whose mind jumps around like mine does.
I do that, too…that “inside voice”..it’s like an ongoing dialogue with my “conscience”…sometimes it’s like a battle ! other times, it’s peaceful, sometimes pleading, sometimes thankful, sometimes overwhelmed by life, sometimes relieved ! (prayers answered!)…
sometimes…many times.. I just want to see Jesus and have a face-to-face conversation with Him !
Amen. I’ve had just “Jesus!” prayers, like in near misses on the highway, & am so thankful that He knows our hearts & lets us approach that throne of grace even when dirtied up & in the midst of chaos, maybe especially then!
Acknowledging His love for us is one act that brings Him joy. I am convinced there is no wrong way to pray since it is simply an interaction with our Father. Was there a wrong way for your kids to interact with you? Yes but that’s the difference between Him and us.
He has no limitations. The perfect Father, who loves us.
Amen! There is such comfort & peace in this assurance ❤
The Holy Spirit.
I think The Holy Spirit is The Peace He leaves with us, once we’ve accepted Christ into our lives as our personal Savior.
indwelling.
Amen
I often fall asleep praying & never get through my mental list at all. I’m Very Thankful that the Lord is so merciful with us & our evident feet of clay!
Oh Cthulhu, I just love you and your heart!
I didn’t/don’t exactly know what to say here so I read your comment to my husband & we had a big discussion on faith & Christianity…& it is continuing even as I try formulate a reply to you. It’s turning into quite the conversation 🙂
Your intentionality about prayer is inspiring to both Michael & I as both of us have become rather casual/cavalier in that arena.
Ever since the veil was rent, upon Christ’s death, the entrance into the Holy of Holies is available to All!
God is Spirit, so we worship Him in spirit & in truth.
Jesus gave us the example of the Lord’s Prayer as a model of how to approach God. He also held up a child as an example that we should approach Him as a child.
Our special needs son, Josiah, continues to blow us all away in our family w/ his profound unveiled face interactions with the Lord. He comes to the table in a truly “just as I am” frame of mind & he regularly touches the hem of the Lord’s garment.
Scripture guides us in so many things so please taste & see that the Lord is good & He is closer than any brother!
As Michael said, we are all in a race but some of us are running, some of us are walking, some of us are crawling, & some of us are sprawled out on our faces smarting from the fall & trying to muster up the gumption to get back up & finish the race.
I’ve lately been observing my granddaughters when I interact with them & how my heart overflows with love for them even when they reject me, hit me in the face, complain in my presence, or resist what I try to teach them. How much more does the Lord love us, even when we are wayward & rebellious children for he included the Prodigal Son story in scripture for us all!
From one whose faith began in very early childhood & whose walk is now mostly a crawl, who finds herself repeatedly in that “desert place”, be assured He is faithful!
Any sort of prayer is fine.
This is where having formally written prayers comes in handy. Truly. When you don’t know how to start, having a few in hand to fall back on does help.
This scripture comes to mind too…
Fascinating. I love the dive into obscure history; you Never cease to surprise 😍
Hot water bottle percolator was what we used.
