Morning everyone. Three days ago, we had 7 inches of snow and frigid temperatures. Yesterday, the temp peaked at 48 degrees and the snow here on the foothills is almost gone. Like Colorado, if you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes. It'll change!

May I suggest You Tube for Templar music using a modified Gregorian format? As a person who played piano, guitar, dulcimer and harmonica as well as composed and sang, I find the music beautiful in composition, excellent in harmonics and very inspiring. Christmas Blessings to all.

Christmas Blessings and the Peace of Christ be with you all. I'm a neophyte CAA and am attempting to ge the next coarsework started but am running into a non-reactive function "next coarse." I apologize for the elementary nature of this question but could someone set me straight so I can proceed? Thank you and am excited to join fellow believers willing to courageously defend the faith and aide those defenseless and spiritually confused.

Howdy. I'm a tenderfoot CAA ready to begin service for Christ with fellow commited Christians who wish to stand in the gap, defend thefaith and support those in need orspiritual, moral or physical support. Blessings to all.
I'ts snowing here in SW PA, Scottdale. We have five deer we are feeding at night. Why not? We have six species of birds that live here even though we are at the edge of a small town. We actually have a family of weedpeckers! No kidding. We have an adult male and fema... more

On behalf of MC Paul, I would like to announce a new member to OMSDT and to the Priory of St. Michael. Join me in welcoming CAA William Gratchic from PA to our Order.

I actually did the first aid and called the MD (doctors still made house calls then) and the ambulance. Three years later, my father ended up with a debilitating stroke, the person that viewed me as a burden, I did the lion's share of direct home health care. All this and many more significant events were training and grooming me.

Eventually, I became a registered nurse and worked as such for 30 years, living for 7 years in Colorado and traveling to work part time in Florida twice. The last 17 1/2 years were spent working as the lone night nurse in a maximum security prison housing 1,000 inmates. I retired in 2010 due to health reasons.

In all of this, from very early in life, I took my faith and that Jesus taught seriously. There was a period of time, when I had anger due to the trauma and lack of opportunity I had making it through life. Only in my latter days do I feel whole and in a manner of speaking, finished my training. I prayed and fasted with thanksgiving. God stood by me when I felt ugly inside and now I believe I can make his effort to rehabilitate that which was broken by life pay off.

As I prayed for direction, I found Templar information and music on You Tube. Immediately, the Holy Spirit stirred my soul to take this direction. With Christianity wavering under the heat of Moslem persecution and the rise of Satanism (the fastest growing denomination in the US, by the way) not to mention the deterioration of morals in this country, it well time to stand up for Jesus, defend his sovereignty and return to a Christian faith based nation, witness against those who tread upon it and stand up for those who, for whatever reason, have not stood in the gap for God.

Howdy all. It sure has been breezy here for over a week. What normally takes three weeks for all our trees to lose their leaves occurred in 10 days. Yup. we have a drop area one block down a step street for leaves and this year, it took 63 trips to take care of most of our "bounty"!
