Happy Birthday 🎂 DD#4, AmyB

🌧 coming pray it gives us the moisture we need.

Are you keeping tabs on the world? Hunter plead guilty- slapp on the wrist, no time. SMH at the double standards I am seeing. Big push on sex trafficking-still waiting for Epstien list to be charged. Trump/Clinton equal issues and oh so widely different in the handling. Repubs and Dems running neck and neck in bad decisions. It’s time to clean the entire swamp.

‘Nuff said

Have an awesome day

Drove home last night, and will return to IA early Saturday morning to pick up a couple of people and bring them home. I’m thinking to hibernate until them There are some things in my life that need to be re-evaluated. One would think at this stage in my game I would have it all together.

FAITH…what is it?

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not. (DR) or Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen. (NAB)


The Catholic Church defines it:
Objectively, it stands for the sum of truths revealed by God in Scripture and tradition and which the Church (see RULE OF FAITH) presents to us in a brief form in her creeds,
Subjectively, faith stands for the habit or virtue by which we assent to those truths.

What is it to you? I’m interested in what you have to say.

Off to do come household chores.

Sorry got sidetracked

My drive to IA was good. Got everyone, and everything dropped off.  I return on Saturday.
