Question…why is the government allowed

To spend more than it takes in?

Why is anyone even considering raising the debt limit if the government spenders won’t/ don’t even consider tightening its belt by doing away with unnecessary spending?

Why doesn’t the government do what normal people do? Don’t spend it unless you have it? Call in your unpaid debts? Do without.

Don’t cave is all I have to say.

Village quiet

the man is up and at ’em doing his exercise routine downstairs

me, I crawled out of bed an hour late, looked outside saw the sunshine, grunted saying ” rain’s coming”, grabbed a cup of coffee and headed here to the office.

Dalihas were planted yesterday I believe, the man handled it.

I’m looking round this office thinking to myself that it needs to be cleared out, a new ceiling put in and the walls painted. To myself I say, should be finished on Saturday. In reality it would likely be finished next week sometime. The mind is young, the body is old. These days the speed of the mind means nothing during physical labor.

I’m off to keep myself occupied today. There are several rooms in this old house that could use a good cleaning.

If you don’t feel close to the Lord, if he seems distant, keep showing up. Prayer is a gift of grace, God always pours out grace, whether you feel it or not. Put your hope in Jesus’ faithfulness as well.

Know you are prayed for.
