RIAY Day 85 The Blessing Never Stops
Memory Verse Isaiah 64:5 & 6- “We have all become like something unclean, all our just deeds are like polluted rags; We have all withered like leaves, and our crimes carry us away like the wind. There are none who call upon your name, none who rouse themselves to take hold of you; For you have hidden your face from us and have delivered us up to our crimes.”

I’ve heard much regarding President Trump and what he is doing to the country. I’ve heard from those who say they are afraid, are angry, are unsure. I had all those feelings during the Biden reign, in that respect, I can understand. I did not, however, go to war against Biden; I simply sat back and watched the pathetic little man be manipulated by those power mongers who used him for their own means. Below is the response I gave to a group I have long been a member of. To that I will add, for those of you wringing your hands over the president, and participating in the hate mongering… it is time to buck up, take stock, and deal with your attitudes. You are ripping this country apart with your woe is me, hate.


Many Americans know/care about what is happening around the world.  
The issue right now is “getting the USA back on track”   
We have spent years watching the UN push its agenda on other countries and frankly paying out quite large amounts of $$
so that they can spread their deviant agenda worldwide.
Since WWII the US has spent 3.75 trillion dollars around the world and frankly
let their own country go down the tubes
What I see today is the US starting to take care of its own first

We have poor, hungry, homeless, sick, fire disasters, flood disasters, weather disasters, etc
and we need to take care of our own first.
An example of that is all the things “illegal aliens acquired” while our citizens went without
A legit need is very seldom if ever ignored but I fail to see how letting our citizens suffer makes us a better country
That does not mean we don’t see what is happening outside our borders
It means we will take care of us first
We have practically done away with manufacturing here in the US to feed the “global economy” and it is biting us now.
We have teachers, clergy, and citizens who think they should indoctrinate our children in the ways of deviant behavior

It is time to get our house in order
President Trump has an agenda: “America First.” He is bombastic, but I don’t see that as threatening. I see it as “standing up for oneself” in this world that is so lost in feelings. We have allowed the idea of “not hurting feelings” to rule. I would much rather live in reality than let hurt feelings rule. But then, I’ve felt that way for years. Truth is truth, and sometimes it hurts, and we have to learn to deal with that hurt.

Canada, Mexico, and the US will come to an agreement eventually.  I don’t see any of them losing their country over it.  Greenland will eventually decide to stand on their own two feet instead of vacillating back and forth about when/if/how to become independent from Denmark.  The EU looks to be finally stepping up and helping their neighbors instead of expecting countries a continent away to do it.  Israel has been fighting for years to get back what God gave them centuries ago.  There is nothing that will change that, as long as they believe they are on a mission from God.  It is all about power and control… Man exhorting “his” power to control everything instead of turning it over to God.
I’m all for making my corner of the world liveable helping out others when they need it and when I have the means to do that.  Meanwhile, I will work on recognizing evil for what it is and doing what I can to eradicate it.
President Trump is not “the best fit” but right now he is “the one” to get the ball rolling.  He has everyone paying attention to what is happening in their own backyard and taking steps to protect their own.  Not a bad start just shocking at times.

Morning! Winter is trying to hold on but Spring is winning out. Traces of green have started to shine through, the leaf buds are swelling, and most of the snow has melted. Thoughts of lilacs and daffodils are nudging my mind. The raised beds are a mess. The lawn too. There are so many things to put on the “To-Do” list.

Have an awesome day

Finally! a good night’s sleep…7.5 hrs. Amazing what that does for a person.

The weekend has arrived, and all that entails. The to-do list is quite lengthy. funny haw that happens when one has a busy week.

How’s your Lent going? Is it time to perhaps whittle down what seems to be too much or time to reflect back, put some thoughts into order, and ponder what you’ve realized about your faith? Either way, this is your Lenten season. Your time to spend with Jesus.

RIAY Day 77-Have No Fear
St Joseph Novena Day 9
Memory Verse – 2 Corinthians 12:8-10 – “Three times I begged the Lord about this, that it might leave me,  but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses,  in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. Therefore, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong.”

Good Morning!
I am awake, and ready for the day. A short run this morning and another mid afternoon. The knee feels the weather change. The Apr 1 appt has been moved up to the 27th. The man changed my oil last evening… he is a blessing to me. Even when he doesn’t change the oil he is a blessing. As I tarried in bed this morning I was thinking how nice it would be to be able to sleep in, move thru the morning slowly, and just putter around for the day. It wouldn’t work for me, I’d be bored.

How’s the Lent going for you? How’s your relationship with Christ? Actually, how is your relationship to anyone important to you?

I’m off and running.
