Psalm 150:1-6
Praise the Lord! 1 Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! 2 Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness!
3 Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! 4 Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! 5 Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! 6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Ultimate scripture of the day. Sums it all up doesn’t it.
Amen!

Absolutely love this Psalm. Thank you for posting it ❤️
I'm looking forward to the scare event that's possibly going to happen this year and unify the country like General flynn is implying. I'm just ready for the exciting stuff. I know God wins, but the suspense is killing me.
Honestly, I think the timing for that has to be next year, around the time for Trump's trials. Happy if it happens early, but I am preparing myself for the long haul. We already finished 6 years patiently, a year or two more wont make a difference.
lets just be safe and call it 2025

Can't tell if you're joking or being a doomtard, but you're technically right.
The absolute latest that the storm could arrive is Jan 2025, when Trump begins his second term with full support of the American people. He has been laying out his entire plan on Truth Social: purge the DS, mass deportation, total reform of federal government, unchained economy, an end to the endless wars.
If the storm is not triggered before then (WW3, stolen election, etc) the DS will play their final cards in effort to stop him.
"his entire plan" is the same thing he said before the 2016 election and during his term
If you understand the basics of the the PLAN then you know why it had to be this way.
So i purchased Trump Winery’s champagne (2016). Was expensive but i got a small bonus at work today. Cheers winemaster Jonathan and winery president Eric. Your bouquet is perfect.
Thank you so much fren. Another patriot that deserves patronage
I think this is a supernatural / spiritual world. Everything is currently upside down. What we see is lies and what we cannot see is the truth. Anyone else feels the same?
It's like hanging upside down on a roller coaster
It's interesting Melania posted the new Christmas ornament... A FLOTUS job :).
She is a shining example of people who we should be inviting into this country.

I've been awake a couple hours listening to Tropical Storm Ophelia on the NC coast. They were predicting would turn into hurricane overnight. I think it's still a tropical storm. I love storms yet have a huge respect for the damage they can cause. Putting this out here because I could have been a storm chaser if I hadn't wanted a family. Listening to the wind whip and howl is thrilling and a little frightening. I've never been able to sleep when snow or tropical storms roll through. Not from fear probably more from scared of missing something. Right now winds are about 45 mph and I can't imagine how a cat 3-5 sounds. Praying for everyone impacted.
Where on the coast are you? Ophelia blew through the Eastern Piedmont last night and today. It’s almost 7 PM and it’s mostly over, breezy and drizzling.
I’m from the North and I love storms and snow. There is nothing like a summer thunderstorm in the mountains.
I'm at a friends house in Carteret County, Down East. I haven't heard of anyone being hurt thankfully. I think it was worse towards New Bern, Washington (NC). Ophelia's center came ashore at around 6:15 a.m. local time near Emerald Isle. It was projected to come across Cape Lookout. They try but you can't exactly pin point a hurricane path.
I’m glad y’all are safe. A friend in Minnesota texted me to see if we were OK!
Sounds like a good friend. I haven't watched the news. I've been keeping up with local posts here and where I live. I follow several NOAA pages and saw storm went your way. I live an hour east of Raleigh. I know the power was out at home because the cameras weren't not online. Thankfully not too long, I have a large freezer full of local beef. In hindsight we should have stayed home just in case. If power was out too long we could keep freezer and fridge running with the generator. Thank you we are on the water but not on the main sound and that helps a little. But you never know with a hurricane. I feel a little guilty because I love storms so much. I have lost count of the hurricanes over the last 35 years. My dream is to go out west rent a place and watch the storms from a hundred miles away. I don't remember where over thirty years ago I read an article in Southern Living about these cabins and the view of the storms. Take care and glad you are safe.
We do have a great community here, like a virtual small town.
Do you ever run out of clips for your potato chip bags or other bags that need closed? My son found out this 'freebie' from a friend.
When you buy clothes such as a childrens shorts outfits and the shorts are hanging from 2 plastic clips, simply cut the plastic clips from the hanger and 'joila' you have potato chip bag clips.
I used to use the old fashioned 'clothespins' for this purpose years ago, but nobody uses clotheslines anymore. So I found this hint GREAT! Just thought I'd share it with you.
Good idea! I always run out of chip clips lol. I go in my office drawer and find binder clips and use those.
I thought this was a great idea; and yes binder clips work well too. But if you buy the clothes and there are those plastic clips holding them, they are free for you to cut off and reuse. I have several now. God bless.
Yes great idea! I probably even have some laying around in my kids closet 🙃
A pair of cutting pliers or some really sharp scissors should do the trick. I think my husband took a sharp knife on the cutting board and popped mine off.
Same, I use clothes pins for everything.
me too
YOW!
Still YOW!
Yep! I've used them on the salad mix bags too.
That's a great idea thanks for sharing. I keep an old short fat pickle jar of clothes pins and scissors in pantry. (Wide mouth hand fits inside) The hardest thing is getting the clothes pins back in the jar after the bags empty.
I know what you mean.
Where did Fettermans wife run off to?
Menendez thing sure is a big step. Wonder if that was an unsealed indictment
Are you talking about Menendez brothers that killed their parents?
no, this one https://archive.ph/HAqjJ
Thanks I was asking because the judge has asked for the case to be reexamined. Turns out they were sexually abused by the father.
I havent heard of this story. Link?
I watched this video a couple months ago on Megan Kelly channel. I haven't followed up since seeing this video.

Question: Do you think this UAW strike might be used to end production of gasoline vehicles and usher in new accelerated regulation? The largest commercial construction project in the country right now is the Ford motor company battery plant being constructed in Glendale Kentucky, this thing is massive. They have also announced that Fords Louisville Fern Valley plant and truck plant “largest in the world” are also moving to this location. The EPA just announced rules that will require semi trucks to go all electric, mirroring California’s lunacy. Drive into any truck stop and ponder the massive power requirements to charge even one vehicle much less the hundred or so more in the lot. So these people pushing this craziness have a childlike mindset weaponized with climate cult brainwashing or they are evil exploiting the fragile nature of our modern society to collapse it, or both.
I just saw on the news the funeral of the little baby boy in the Bronx who died from Fentanyl. It showed the poor mother looking at her son in his coffin. He looked about 2 years old. It is so heart-breaking that I can't stop crying about what these Evil people have done and continue doing to our country. I pray in the name of Jesus that this Evil stops soon. Our children should NEVER suffer from what Evil is lurking upon our earth. They are the innocent among us. God please I command that Satan stays away from our children. I rebuke him in every way possible to stop this MADNESS. God bless our innocent children. And please Lord comfort that Mother. Amen.
Amen. May this poor mother be comforted by all the angels in heaven and by our Lord Jesus Christ. May all the blessings and grace that come from God be showered onto her like a huge torrent of Love. Amen.
Amen.
We senior men should take a page from “las abuelas” in Argentina and gather every Sunday to demand an accounting of the abused, missing and aborted children.
“Las Abuelas” (the grandmothers) ended the “Dirty War” that way.
And I would KILL anyone who laid one finger on ANY of my grandchildren.
Amen to that! I have a seven month old granddaughter. When I learned about the evil people hurting these trafficked kids I was bothered and wanted to know more. I'll admit I didn't realize how much that would change having a grandchild. I look at this sweet innocent child of God and can't understand how someone can hurt a child. I say a prayer daily for these kids and praying they get free.
Amen. Our kids need all the prayers they can get.
So I'm an anon, I've digged and 'pilled. I've been drawn to deeper ethereal things. It has helped me be calm and empathetic. 'Lo and behold after a long time, I am falling deeply for a girl I've known only as a friend. We both can't believe what is happening. I said, "we're all in a new book now, not just a new chapter of the same story, no. A. New. Book. . We're getting to right wrongs without reliving them. We've moved on. To here. Where we are, right now. . . She looked up at me opened her eyes and said, " Wow, it's like I don't see 'you' anymore, but the soul that my soul should be with". TLDR: Actual Love, is part of the plan. Thankyou God for answering my prayers.
Awesome. 🤗🙏
More crime in Chicago. This time it is involving the Chicago Bears.
Also, a Chicago Bears coach has resigned, but those items aren't related, right?
Tonight's "everything's flipped" will be abridged. I've been tired all day. It might be related to eating beans at breakfast. I have noticed it happen before. I believe the beans were cooked in a good way. Soaked overnight, drained, and pressure cooked in broth.
Pressure cooking destroys harmful lectins.
Some stovetop pressure cookers vent gases through the regulator. The electric pressure cooker does not. Conventional stovetop cooking allows more time for gases to escape. The beans I ate were cooked in an electric pressure cooker using natural pressure release.
Should beans be cooked in saltwater or not? This site claims it interferes with the cooking process. https://creativeinmykitchen.com/reintroducing-beans-three-easy-and-delicious-recipes/ This site suggests that saltwater makes beans better. https://www.seriouseats.com/salt-beans-cooking-soaking-water-good-or-bad Broth is its own can of worms for how it might affect cooking beans.
I could have been dehydrated.
Soy milk makes be fatigued sometimes too.
For your next post can you cover candles? i have been doing pretty hard research which is coming to the conclusion even an expensive candle is not good healthwise...
But candles have been around millenia...it seems weird to think they are horribly bad for us. I want to think their effect on mood and stress outweighs the cons
There are good safe non toxic candles out there it just takes effort to find them. Spireside is a good candle company. The hardest thing is relying on scent description and customer reviews. Most people like floral, woodsy or fruity scents. I lean more towards woodsy and earthy scents. If you know what essential oils you like it's very helpful. I've ordered a couple from Spireside I didn't like and gave to my dad. He'll burn anything. This company is very secretive about the scent profile because people will steal recipes. I also order from a few smaller companies on Etsy.
But candles have been around millenia...it seems weird to think they are horribly bad for us.
The problem with toxic candles is the same old story, cutting costs using cheaper ingredients. Yankee brand and those in department stores, Walmart, target, etc have very toxic ingredients. The old ways of making good clean candles have been making a comeback. Candles ain't cheap but I'll pay for them because I once tried to make candles🤦🏻♀️ Just one of my failures spilled hot wax on the counter top and floor. It splattered everywhere.
Look for soy, coconut or bees wax. Fragranced using essential oils. There's natural fragrances many people use and they are safer than toxic mass produced candles. I prefer essential oil as fragrance because I have allergies and sensitive to fake fragrances.
Also candles made with vegetable shortening.
Haven't heard of these candles.
They work very well, and they can be recycled just as well as beeswax candles.

Enjoy, and have a good first day of Autumn.
I had a short dream right before I woke up this morning.
Biden was standing before a microphone. Where he was standing was bright but around him where people were listening it was dimmer (I could still see part of the crowd of people all around though, him in the center). I could make out some of the crowd's clothing: business attire, suits of bright blue mixed into the grey.
Then an image appeared: dark background and a white wheel: small center circle, spokes that went out - maybe 7? Dunno, did not count it was too fast). And then the larger white circle at the outside.
Then back to Biden, still before the mic. Suddenly that exact white wheel of LIGHT was placed over him, with him in the small center circle, and a voice said "NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO LIE"
And I woke up
Interesting dream. I’m a dreamer. God had spoke to me and warned me of events to pray against through dreams. Had one this week that has had me praying earnestly for the individual in the dream.
In the last days in the WH PDJT said that if an image is posted inside a square which is inside a circle it can't be read.
Which one is it can anyone tell me, is it inside a circle which is inside a square or the other way round? I would look it up on Search Voat but it always times out.
Plz see my post of the question I asked MTG yesterday regarding whether she had a message for us here on GAW
Congrats. We survived another prediction of the end of the world. Praise Jesus Sept 23 isnt going to be the apocalypse.
Missed that. What was the deal?

Bunch of additional video compilations of all the dates in movies of sept 23rd being the start of apocalypses as well.
