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 overtime at her medical records job (working from home) and watching over her Mom, who lives in a house Chis built adjacent to her house. 

This week I am taking Jean to an ENT doctor appointment, going to a small group meeting (Harvest related) & possibly taking Jean to a nail appointment (I think she wants to drive herself). 

My life is great right now. My family here, my extended family here and my family in Pleasant View are making my life happy and peaceful. God loves me and I love him. I now I am going to see all of family again in Heaven. 

For anyone reading all of this, please believe in God and yourself. Trust your prayerful judgement. Never take anything for granted. Pray for direction and then sit still and listen for God’s message to you . 

Anyway, have a great week.

 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. The sticke...

End Of The Week Rambling  Friday 6/6/25 Its been a good week. Got quite a few things done. I thought I would muse about the military a bit.  This was a typical setting for relaxing between flight quarters when you were working the flight deck. This is sitting on the bow of the flight deck. No noise. Just the sound of the water breaking over the bow 60 feet below you and the wind in your face cruising thru the Med at 25 knots I liked being at sea. This was before the days of computers, e mail, phones, wifi calls to your family, etc. Books, music, letters, newspapers were the medium back then. The mail usually came twice a week, The separation from family and friends was easier without daily reminders of where you were not. The sleeping arrangements, food, noise, heat, odors, and 12 hour work shifts were tolerable and kept you occupied.  We didn't have civilian clothes so it was dress uniform for liberty. (In the last 6 months of my enlistment, that changed). We usually anc...

The Last September 30th 2025 I will ever see

 It’s been an exciting day. I was up early and went to the ATM, the Urologist, the farmers market and to Jean’s for a chicken salad lunch. Later, I paid some bills and straightened out a snafu between my secondary Medicare coverage and the Olive Branch ambulance service. I spent a hour or so going through the old photo albums. Those are the hardest to declutter. Later went to Kroger, picked up dinner and dropped off some bananas to Jean. I am back at the house checking the mail and watching a Clint Eastwood movie, “Kelley’s Hero’s”. Got some of my Christmas shopping done today. This has been a good week so far. My urologist is happy with my lifestyle. Anyway, it’s only Tuesday. The garbage is pulled down to the street. Mildred came by last Sunday and picked up the freezer in my garage. (More declutter).  Planning the Atlanta / Nashville trip for Christmas. Deciding who is paying for what and the schedule. I am trying to arrange Thanksgiving dinner between Jean and I & my b...
