Welcome back!

Would you believe that the news had this headline on its broadcast?

Just because there is a warm spell, all of a sudden they do not know what is going on.

Phooey, they do not know their history very well do they?

Heard about a happening on TV today, actually yesterday, too.

A couple of girls in a small car were driving home from a place that they had visited. They got lost and without meaning to, drove off a boat dock into the water. A police officer was there and rescued them, so they did not drown. If the place used dock ramps, instead of just a slowly lowering concrete ramp, maybe that would not have happened.

As if is, the place now has some warning signs in place and they are thinking of putting in some chains that would have to be removed to stop this from happening anymore. Thank God those girls did not drown.

I have heard about others who are having a lot of cold, and snow.

Meanwhile, most of the time our weather is above 40. Where is winter?

We need winter to slow down the growth of fire ants and other stuff. I was raised up north where snow was one of the give-aways of winter. (St.Louis MO) Down here in Texas, snow is a rarity. Also a rarity is a freeing temperature. It does have its uses after all.

No, it is not a name.

I took one word from an older Christmas carol to express what has happened in the last day or so. Saturday our church went on a hay ride and had a blast. Young and old, singing and non-singing, going through a nearby neighborhood, serenading anyone who wanted to listen.

We waved at passing cars, had people honk and wave back. This was fun and a time to treasure.

Today, we had church with a great message, great meal, a new singer who played a guitar beautifully, and afterward we exchanged gifts. We ended up having more laughter, smiles, and fun.

I hope that you can have a great time with your family, friends and others and also have a great time.

On the news I hear about those who are protesting the economy.

Why are they blaming Wall Street? Wall Street are not the ones that make the laws that govern the country.

If they truly want the economy to improve, protest at Congress. If Congress really wanted to make things better…..

THEY COULD CUT THEIR OWN PAY TO SAVE US MONEY.

They have a special fund for their medical costs, they have special money even when they are no longer in office. We do not have such things. We are stuck with Medicare and Social Security. Why should Congress get special money and privileges for messing up the country?

Yet, the one thing that Congress NEVER does is take a pay cut.

Yes, I am still here.

Nothing much has been happening, which in some ways is very good. I believe that before I have mentioned the old Chinese curse where you point at someone and say the phrase-

may you live in interesting times

.

When you think about what is interesting, do not assume that interesting is nice. The TV mentions interesting things like earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes. I believe that you get the idea.

It is enough to make me think that boring can very nice.

For tonight only, many predators will be locked up in rooms to keep kids safe.

The rest of the year, kids are only protected by vigilant parents and friends.

I wish that this wasn’t so. I wish that kids could be kids without the worry of inappropriate things happening.

have you seen the TV ads talking about the up and coming National test of the emergency broadcast system?

I wonder if they have thought about terrorists hearing this and thinking it would be a good idea to attack at that time?

What do you think? I want to stay home on that day, sleep, hide out, and pray that nothing happens.

I heard about the earthquake in Turkey.

When I check out the USGS for information, this is what I found - http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Maps/10/45_40.php.

You can either click on the link or copy and paste in the information listed. It lists (at the time that i am typing this) 24 earthquakes in this little area alone.

These people are in dire need of prayer and support. I know they do not believe the same way that we do in the USA, but they are people nonetheless, and need help.

Well, we did have a little rain.

The surface is dry now, I don’t know when we will have more rain, but we need it in a really intense way. The farmers and ranchers here are having a lot of worry right now concerning their crops, and animals.

I would hate to be someone who uses trees for log furniture since the fires here in texas have burned so much since the drought began. On the news the scientists seem to be trying to get folks worried about long lasting drought. It is not as if they know exactly when it will or will not rain. They are guessing.

I wonder what ever happened to people wanting to wish for good news instead of bad news?
