Romans 5:6 When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.7 Now, most people would not be willing to die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for a person who is especially good.8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners

I still have a flip phone but I will get a smart phone probably this year. I don't like them and my fingers don't do a good job at getting the phone to respond. Sherry has a Iphone 7 and it drives me batty.

I do love the new TVs, computers and fully expect all to merge even more with phones. I was reading the other day that they have developed a transistor that is only 19 atoms. That is small and with that the size of a processor could be really small. The big hurdle is to get mobile net fast and cheap.
Bert, looks like you were reading some old news. There is already a transistor in existence that is only 1 atom. I'm pretty sure that is as low as they can go. Work is going on to utilize a photon rather than electron and that will be the next big step.

Saw an ad for a golf ball the other day and they were talking about graphene. I knew when I first heard about this stuff that it could be game changing. Didn't realize the game would be golf though.

I sat down just in time. Bert's joining the Borg and Ymmot's explaining molecular assimilation. Swanee, any swamp left?

Flip phone for me. It is not even on except the rare occasion I go away from the house alone. I charge it about every three weeks. I do not even know how to text. Wife gave me a smartphone and I gave it back after a couple of weeks.

Wife has a smartphone but all she does with it is text - all day long.

My kids and grands are all women/girls. Everyone knows everyone else's drama. I made it a standing rule that if the drama is not something that I personally need to do something about, I don't want to hear about it. Six months later I might hear about some family "catastrophe" that blew over without my knowledge.

Grandkids in their twenties come for dinner and are on their phones the whole time.

Probably not as easy. With all of the technology of today things are much easier. And with this people are softer and more dependent and few can actually take care of their own needs. Another thing I have noticed is people are under much more pressure than my fathers and grandfathers were. The pressure in today's world is more than many people can handle.

Another factor of today that bothers me is the fact all of us are under surveillance with big government tracking our every move and social media telling us what we can or can not say. Our government can make up a lie and destroy your very existence. The IRS can be weaponized and we know what the FBI and Justice Department can do.

So give me the choice of life in 2019 compared to life decades ago and guess where I come down. Give me the simple life where i am an individual who with the Lord's help has my destiny in my own hands. Not a government, not social media and not big brother tracking or spying on my very existence. It is a lot easier today but it comes with a terrible price. A price I would rather not have.
Life was hard but we just didn't know it until we got older!!!
 
Good morning D! Not a lot going on today except a wedding. The young lady lived beside us when she was born and now she is getting married. Where does time go!!!! Like we are on a fast moving train that is gradually picking up steam (the best kind) and not making any stops except at the end of the line!!!!! Hey could be a good sermon! No stops until the end, so be prepared we have no idea when our stop is!!!!
 
Dats funie rat dar.

Got out early this morning for a few hours of fishing. Went to Rattler and was there about an hour when I caught 2 and one got away. The one that got away was probably the biggest because it pulled my drag out as I was fighting it and then it anchored itself around something on the bottom of the pond. I tried to let it run out but it eventually spit the hook out. Not long afterwards, 2 other people came to fish but were across the pond from me. When I was getting ready to leave I walked around to their side to talk to them when one of them recognized me. I was his Drill Sergeant Instructor at the Drill Sergeant School that was at Ft. Sill in early 1990. We talked a bit and I found out he also worked at Ft. Sill now. We are going to get together for some fishing in the future. Below is the picture he took of me and the bigger one I caught today.

Nice fish. Have y'all had any water trouble? Hope not.
 
It think it was because it pulled my drag while trying to bring it in. The one in the picture did not.
Just digging at you WC. Wish I was fishing!!! It's like I tell my grandkids, one time I hung into a huge catfish, but it broke the line! I got it to the boat and it was so big one eye was on one side of the boat and the other eye was on the other side! That's when I just get that look!!!!

Going again tomorrow morning for a few hours then, wife and daughter want to go out.
 
It would seem all colleges even uk is crazy expensive these days but the dorms are like luxury hotels, and all the campus buildings are extravagant. In the mid eighties when i was there, Holmes hall (RIP) had only the basics two beds two desk and two closets, shared restrooms and showers for the whole floor and no ac. I don't understand why this is happening.

I spent 1970-71 in Holmes Hall, back when the basketball team lived there. I had the corner room on the top floor (4th). Good times.
 
I've been invited to my youngest nephew's 8th grade graduation. Now I have to draw the line here. I know for a fact that the Catholics celebrate 8th grade because my wife is one. BUT, it's only 2/3rd's of the way to a high school diploma. Ya ain't there yet young man. What really irks me is that the invitation states that it's a promotion not a graduation. Like it's an actual job. My God!
