D-League

I posted the below on FB about 9 years ago... (About the same now...) I am thankful... (I was about to go to Korea at the time...)

When I start complaining I always catch myself. I look in the mirror and realize; I could be doing this as a soldier. While I love the United States Armed Forces, I feel for what they go through in my unique way. My admiration and respect runs deep. I also realize; I'd rather be around a member of the Armed Forces than about anyone I know. They are good people!

Morning folks. It is a warm 77.5°F on my back porch and on its way 90°. Very little chance of rain and we could use some. I got the yard mowed yesterday afternoon when the thunderclouds moved in and cooled things down. It never rained so I got the front and back done.

You all have a good day.

Good Monday morning

The temperature is 71° at the present and our high should reach 89° by midafternoon. We will have plenty of sunshine and a rain chance of 15%. Typical summer day.

After church yesterday we took in the beach and enjoyed a nice Sunday sunset. I noticed 11 California tags (car)s on our roads yesterday which is highly unusual. It is a long way for them to drive to the beach but I doubt they came down for vacation. Chances are they are scouting out a place to relocate.

I see where Disney personnel in California recently demanded a transfer to Florida. These are 2,000 professional employees, not the girls running the bumper cars. Apparently Disney is building another planned city for them on their Disney property near Orlando. They are welcome if they do not vote the way they did in California.

The rumor is Disney will someday pull out of California altogether and relocate with a new park in Texas. That makes sense but Disney was one of the prime reasons California became an undesirable place to live. There is a lesson to be learned,

Have a great Monday. I read Hosea Chapter 8. A nation gone astray will reap the whirlwind

Oh, I could set like that for a straight week and do nothing all day except to hit the John and eat a little. (Wouldn't need much food.) Just would do that to get my mind right again...

I have never understood the banning process. Especially the Political Board. Politics will breed controversy and differences. It is expected. About the only reason to ban someone is if they are vulgar in their language. And I know you are not that type of a person.

But liberals love to squash freedom of speech and it seems most of the moderators are liberal leaning. It is what is it.. If I ever get banned I will call Bert so he can get out the word.

FaceBook gave me a permanent ban because I brought up the point that the
DOJ wasn't interested in the LMPD after it was discovered that they had a bunch of pedophiles running their explorer program..................then they shoot and killed a chronic criminal in Briana Taylor and they DOJ was suddenly interested.........I also pointed out that with JB in the WH..........it was fitting that they overlooked the pedophiles running the explorer program at LMPD......since he was like the head pedophile.......I guess it is like they say.........sometimes the truth hurts........

I should be so lucky Awf. When my wife gets bored she shops. I'd be better off if she canned enough green beans to destabilize Green Giant and Libby's stock value...

MdW...what area do you live in the DC area? Just curious. I spent 9 plus years in that area...working in DC and living in Frederick, MD. I HATED DC but I did love Frederick, MD and especially western MD.

Anyway, hopefully you'll escape that mess in the near future...unless you like it.

CatinIl: I live in Montgomery County, about 30 miles due south of Frederick. If you were commuting from Frederick you passed by my stomping grounds on your way.

I’m walking distance from the subway but still in an area that isn’t overly developed - single family homes on decent sized lots, some woods and a good sized lake nearby.

I like it here fine. I’m a history buff and never get tired of exploring that aspect of the region, love the Smithsonian Museums, and spend lots of weekends hiking in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley. There are things that aren’t perfect, of course, but I can roll with all that.

Yep, I rolled right by that area EVERY MORNING. When I moved to the DC the first time it was the Quince Orchard Cluster APTs. there in MD just outside of DC. Then the second time was Frederick/New Market , MD. Much better. The one thing I miss about living in that area was bike riding through the National Battlefield parks...

Other than that, I don't miss the DC area...I did my time there...

Many feel that way, including lots of my home town buddies. I get where they are coming from.

All I can say is for my particular blend of interests, it fits me very well. To watch a play at Ford’s Theater under the booth where Lincoln was shot, to bike out to George Washington’s Mt Vernon, to have brunch in Martin’s Tavern where JFK proposed to Jackie, or in the Chinese Restaurant on Connecticut Avenue where Kissinger met in secret with Chinese diplomats to iron out Nixon’s visit in 1972, to meet visiting friends at the hotel where both the Battle Hymn of the Republic and the “I Have a Dream” speech were written, these are the kinds of things I never get tired of.

That's the thing, there's SO MUCH to see/do in the DC area. BUT, it can suck so much as well.

With that said, I would love to live up in the Gettysburg, PA or Harpers Ferry WV area...or especially Cumberland, MD...but that's NOT going to happen. But like I said before, I did my time in the DC area. [laughing]

How Great Thou Art... Canyon Junction

Matthew Hagee sings solo some about midway through. The entire rendition is a good one. This singing seems to be in honor of Pastor John Hagee who they show a glimpse of at the end.

Just an aside; while we attended Cornerstone, early in our attendance I was anointed by Pastor John Hagee in a long line of other people one service. While I was thankful to be prayed for and receive a blessing, It was like he sopped a biscuit and dabbed it on my head. He spared no expense on the anointing oil in my case anyway. (Brings a tear when I think about it.)(I probably needed it.) It may only be me (But that's okay) as I have been anointed by other Pastors.

Once years ago in the Detroit area during a Bill Gaither concert. (It was a pastor that was at the singing.) The singings back in the day were no where near as large as they later became.

Another aside, Pastor John Hagee used to play a heck of a saxophone...

I appreciate the kind words, but I can be vulgar at times. One of my worst habits when it comes out. I do my best to keep it clean, but lately I've just gotten real tired of trying to lead some folks to reason and actual thinking/ researching/common sense.... any of it.

Some of this is grade school level stuff, but people are so brainwashed and ideologically motivated that they don't understand when someone is abusing them and their trust.
