Trump's Boy J.E.

 This is sure blowing up!

Trump and dead Epstein have the nation in turmoil.

I have no idea what the truth is.

Truth is not the strong suit of either T or E.

MAGA is shaken to the core.

Trump has no idea how to handle it--nor do any of his staff.

No surprise there!

Sit back and watch it burn....

Enjoy the ride.

Sorry I missed the weekend....

So, I didn't go to church--ride or no ride.

I was having bowel issues and my swollen feet made it hard to walk. So I cancelled on Trinity.

The weekend was uneventful. I stayed upstairs, read, watched TV more than I want to.

Enough about me.

TV is bad because so many terrible things are happening around the world: floods and forest fires, cuts to needed medical supplies, ICE out of hand, tariffs to be imposed on our global friends, Ukrain and the mid-east, a Republican Party that has lost it's integrity and a president who has lost his mind.

I need to read more though I read almost two books a day and Bern has become a regular at the library....

Life is spinning out of control.

Alas and alack!

Mystery solved

 One of the members of Trinity has agreed to pick me up and take me home Sunday.

So I have to write a sermon....

It will be fine. I'm a little better every day and walk inside without a cane.

My ankles and feet are still swollen and show no sign of going down.

But a sermon is no problem. I've read the lessons and have ideas already.

I just wish I was well....

Can't drive

The doctor told me not to drive until next week.

I was planning to drive to Trinity for church Sunday.

Bern can't take me.

Them coming for me and taking me home seems too much to ask.

I'm not sure what will happen.

I offered to give a week's worth of my salary back so they can do Morning Prayer.

I'm not sure what will happen.

I'll wait and see....

(I hate this!)

ICE and (as)SA(u)LT

 Assault by unidentified ICE agents is becoming common.

Latinos especially are being arrested even if they are American citizens with no criminal record.

Trump wants to rid the country of brown skinned people.

Who will be next?

Will we stand up to ICE and Trump-adump or not?

We must.

This is lawless behavior by federal officials.

Call your congress member and your friends.

We MUST do something....

Another day, another doctor

 Saw the surgeon who did my operation today.

He's a huge guy--6 foot 4 inches and over 250 pounds. Glad I was asleep when he cut me open....

Besides that, lots of good tennis and bad national news.

Bern cried listening about the children lost in the Texas flood.

Talks in Washington don't seem to be going right.

Trump's defense of his 'big beautiful bill' makes me feel ill.

But there is Bern and Brigit to comfort me.

I've got to remember to listen to my body and not my mind....

God help me do that....

Tennis, Tennis, Tennis...

 Bern loves tennis.

She thinks tennis is the most difficult of all sports.

After watching a week of Wimbilton with her (forgive my spelling) I think she may be right.

She knows something about all the players--men and women--which amazes me.

I don't know nearly enough about baseball to match her tennis knowledge....

So it goes on until the weekend.

More tennis, tennis, tennis....
