Politics

 I am a 'yellow dog Democrat'.

What that means is if a yellow dog was running against an upstanding, moderate Republican--I'd vote for the yellow dog!

The Presidential election is absolutely the most important one in a hundred years.

Trump and Vance stand for everything I oppose.

Kamala and Tim aren't quite as liberal as I wish--but they stand for everything our country needs.

Not a hard decision.

Vance being booed by a labor union is enough...isn't it?

And Trump being obsessed about crowd size is crazy since he is losing on that at every turn.

So what do they stand for?

Division and name-calling and avoiding issues.

That's what.

Harris and Walz--that's who our country needs....

No doubt!

Weird stuff I do

 I know both our front and back stairs in the house have 13 steps--yet I count them every time.

It's 22 steps from our front door to my car--and I count them every time.

I tear off random toilet paper and fold it up--if it comes out even, I win. If not, I lose.

I back out of the driveway--though there's lots of room to turn around.

I eat biscuits and gravy every breakfast--turkey sausage, by the way.

Every time I go to Trinity Church, Milton, I check the mileage on my trip. It's always 31.

I don't put on my stole until I'm in church and take it off after the recessional and carry it around to hear the after service music by our great musician, MF.

I re-read books by David Rosenfelt--my favorite author.

I shave my neck on Wednesdays and Saturdays--never any other day.

Lots of other weird stuff too--won't mention them here....

Bible Study

 We're reading Romans, which fills the room with questions.

Circumcision vs. not. Righteousness vs. Law. Even what 'reckon' means which Abraham was 'reckoned righteous'.

Outlining Paul's reasons for what he writes is my job--and not an easy one!

We only read two chapters today because there were so many questions and lively discussion.

Just what Bible Study should be....

Just what I think

 Donald Trump is dangerous and crazy and should be in jail or an insane asylum.

Evangelicals who support him don't understand Christianity.

Everyone is equal in our society--those who have millions and those who have nothing. We have to find ways to 'truly make them equal'.

Dogs are better companions than most human beings.

If I didn't celebrate and preach, I'm not sure I'd go to church (that's painful to admit.)

Kamala and Tim are people I'll be proud to vote for.

Democracy is fragile and must be protected at all costs.

The Yankees are the best in baseball. (I've rooted for them all my life. My father and a few friends were in NYC waiting to ship out for WW II and some people gave them tickets to a Yankees/Dodgers World Series game and my father decided which ever team won would be 'his team'. Guess who won....)

My wife does too much for us and I do too little--but we are both ok with that.

Just a few of the things I think.

Feel free to disagree....

 

Church today

 The drive to Milton was fine. I used my cane during the service.

Michael Ford, the Music Director with a bad knee, even faked a cane fight that Bill took a picture of and published it in Trinity's newsletter today!

I feel quite a bit better than I did Friday.

Still pain but not as bad.

I move around quite well.

Getting into and out of bed is the worst. The doctor told me to elevate my head, but I can't sleep like that.

As time passes, it will all get better.

I pray!

Boy it hurts!

 Wednesday I tripped and fell on my left side in our TV room.

I hit my left wrist and it bled overnight but was fine the next morning.

But I hit my left side and today went to Urgent Care and discovered I had fractured a rib.

Boy it hurts!

I have patches for it and will take Aleve and be better they tell me in 2 or 3 weeks.

Great! Two or three weeks of pain.

When I'm sitting--like now--it doesn't hurt.

But movement hurts.

And I'm walking with a cane to cushion my left side.

Ah, Well--I'm getting old. Things happen.

DNC

Great first day--but they have to control the time more!

Biden wasn't on until I'd been asleep for two hours.

Hope tonight goes better.

I want to go to bed and not wait for it to end.

Want to hear Barack Obama though....
