Friday July 4, 2025. Summing up the week. The Trump bill passed and all kinds of changes are coming. The Defense Department and the Military Industrial complex are getting a lot of money, and I mean A LOT of money . All of the Green Initiatives funded under the “Inflation Reduction Act” are gutted. The industrial Farming Industry is undergoing some changes but it is hard to determine what they are unless you are part of that industry. Medicare and Medicaid are getting some changes but it is hard to understand unless you are in that business. There is a lot of language about extending the original Trump tax cuts and increasing deductions for mostly the middle class. Unless you are a CPA, good luck understanding the language. Anyway, thats as far as I have gotten. My friend Jean’s sister Tina is in the hospital in Nashville. I am taking her to be with Tina in a couple of weeks. I got my tags for my truck renewed.

End of September 2025
September 21, 2025. It’s a late Sunday afternoon. Jean and I went to the early Harvest service this morning then to Firehouse Subs for lunch. She is working on her writing this afternoon and I am watching Nascar and the NFL. 100 laps left in the race at Loudon New Hampshire. I had the privilege of attending the retirement celebration for Jean’s son in law, Jason Martin. He retired after 30+ years with the Memphis Fire Department. He attained the level of Chief. There was a very large contingent of firefighters, family and friends. We ate at Marshall Steak House. Excellent food and service. It’s only 17 minutes from my house. On the home front, I have just about recovered from 3 broken ribs suffered in a fall in my living room 7 weeks ago. I would not recommend putting broken ribs on your bucket list. I am just about healed from the knees, lower back and ribs. My mobility has improved greatly. Stamina is still suffering but much improvised over the last 2 months. ...
Sunday Afternoon After the Race
I just finished watching the NASCAR race at Martinsville. Earl was excited with the finish. It’s been a great weekend. Yesterday Jean and I watched the Chosen Last Supper movie and went out to eat. Today we caught the early service at The Church of the Harvest. Great music and message today. Pastor Rob spoke about the roles of women in the church. I loved hearing his message as I have come out of 70 years of the Southern Baptist Convention. I have always believed that if it were not for women, the SBC would have fallen apart years ago. Harvest embraces roles for everyone willing to serve and that’s how it should be. In addition, the Harvest Kids were selling spaghetti meals as a fund raiser. I got 2 and Jean and I lunched together at her house. My daughter Meredith and her husband Gus are coming back from Austin Texas after a mini vacation. I talked to my other daughter Chris last night. She is staying busy helping her Uncle Jerry with building a new house, working ove...
