Busy With A Heavy Heart
All morning I have been only seeing headlines and not able to watch any videos. My phone would lose charge more easily if I did so. One headline was that Scalise didn’t have the votes and Jordan still has a fight to win the gavel. Israel has been at the back of my mind all…

The First Day
My alarm was set for 6:50 am. Mom and I made it to Grandma’s house literally five minutes before 8 am. Already a line of cars were at the house. It’s a good thing we weren’t the ones to open the house and the garage this morning. My goodness though our lane was crowded. I…

The Speaker Vote
Fortunately with the seriousness of the Israeli Attack our lawmakers seem to be taking this as they promised to. A candidate has been selected behind closed doors with a secret ballot. Still this is not the final vote. Rep. Steve Scalise has been tallied to have been the winner of this secret ballot. Yet like…

Thoughts About Our Allies Israel
Each day new heartbreaking information comes out. Each being worse than the day before. If this is Israel’s version of 9/11 is so much worse than what we endured in those first few days. People died yes… but women raped, babies decapitated, Grandma’s taken hostage. None of that happened on our 9/11 and it’s still…

Phrases: Pertaining to ‘Days’
Time is a matter of the beholder. When our Creator made His creation in 7 days how do we know they were 24 hour days? In fact 2 Peter 3:8 says that one day is like a thousand years. There have been 2,000 years of being in the ‘Last Days’ or even ‘Final Days’. I…

Failed Diplomacy and Failed National Security: One Administration
Not very long ago a very bad deal was made with Iran. Along with 5 prisoners being swapped 6 million dollars was unfrozen for a country that holds the title of the largest sponsor of terrorism. Peace through strength; this is how President Trump created the Peace deal in the Middle East. Now it’s in…

Introspection
Time for inspecting one’s heart and mind is necessary. Today I had some alone time which doesn’t happen very often. Not sleeping very well may have also added to my unfortunate awkwardness and exhaustion. The other slice of today is the question of am I doing what I am supposed to be? Frustration seems to…

The Accident Site
Going over the site once again today reminded me it was the site. I do slow down a little bit more in that area than I did before the incident. Yet this morning it impacted me how many times I have been over this road without any more unusual happenings. The unusual sight lately has…

Irons In the Fire
This week has been quite a week. Watching current events have been jostling to say the least, especially in Congress. Averting a government shutdown should have been a high for the Republicans to float on for a while longer than we had. Now we have three names for Speaker in the hat, Biden not caring…

Checking In
Sometimes I still feel a need to pinch myself. Getting a text from one special man saying he wanted to check in on me can still give me goosebumps. He knows I have been in research mode lately. It’s super sweet knowing he wants to check on me and that we got a long minute…
