Sunny Expectations!

 Sunny Expectations!

 

Have become SO very tired of this achy weather! Ready for sunshine and some temps to thaw out the water trough and make it possible to use the water hose out back. Taking water out back from the kitchen is ok, but turning on the water hose is much more convenient. Then, too, have the feeling that sweeping out the house will make everything feel better.

 

My friend Barbara Matthews is celebrating hers and Mike’s 60th wedding anniversary. That is quite a few years for putting up with the honey do’s and the “honey, where is’s.” Roger sent me this video of a woman being approached by her husband wanting to know where the scissors were. She told him that she had been the guided tour guide for 16 and half years. He should have learned in that amount of time where to find the scissors. He found them and then stood there. She looked up at him and he said, “The tape?” Absolutely true!

 

The dipstick who put the oil and gravel on this road was as crooked as a dog’s hind leg. Apparently, he did not pay for the gravel that he put down and now the gravel company has put a lien on Patty’s place for the amount charged for the gravel. She turned it over to her lawyer, but she is fit to be tied! It makes me feel so bad that the old woman encouraged her to get the road fixed where the stupid trash trucks had made it a canyon. If anyone ever asks for a recommendation for road work, please do not hire Industrial Asphalt and Pat O’Hara! He is a freaking crook!

 

Sent 4 and ½ dozen eggs home with Dr. Blackwell a bit ago. That should keep them in eggs for a few days. Will have to start saving up for the kids next. Doesn’t take long to get three dozen gathered up right now, but if the grass ever begins to grow out any at all, the hens will be so much happier. Cabbage is simply too expensive to feed to them unless they can clean it up in a day’s time. They won’t eat frozen cabbage.

 

Still slowly reading through the first few chapters of Revelation with guidance from the book by Lehman Straus. Looking things up that memory doesn’t automatically recall makes it slow slogging. Remembering the idea that Balaam chose to get the Hebrew children to take after the gods of other countries by getting them to intermarry makes sense. But so many of the “Gods” of other countries are not called gods. Remember, too, that there are, in the eyes of at least one nation, millions of gods. When our children are married to those from India, do they remember that there is ONE true god? For that matter, today we see so-called entertainment in which fornication is considered acceptable. And the “stars” are constantly changing mates and leaving behind children to be reared by those of no moral character. Sad, simply sad. The Ten Commandments begin with the first principle: The first commandment states: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.” (Exodus 20:2-3). This commandment emphasizes the importance of worshiping only God and sets the foundation for the remaining commandments. The Ten Commandments can be found in the Bible in Exodus 20:2-17 and Deuteronomy 5:6-21. Let us prepare our hearts with understanding!

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
