Friday Morning

Well Thursday didn't have a whole lot going on. The weather was a bit nippy in the early hours but the sun finally showed itself sometime around lunch time and it warmed up enough to open a few windows. I piddled around in the garden and yard and got in a little reading afterwards. Nancy was at her mom's for lunch with Amy and Eliza as they took down her Christmas decorations and packed them up for another year. We had our small group coming at 6:30 to start a new year off with the Truth Series.

The day started out with me up and about a little before 6'ish. After my usual routines of a few quiet moments and my daily discipline I posted this ramble then headed outside to check on the gardens with an apple for breakfast. I picked green beans again as Nancy was making a vegetable soup for supper. I also picked some huge cabbage leaves to add to the pot as well as some fresh parsley all from the garden. The cucumbers failed for some reason and at first I thought nematodes were the root cause( no pun intended) but the roots looked healthy. It could have been all of this hot weather but anyhow they died as did my neighbors the Botbyl's. The same scenario occurred with their cukes. I finished up the romaine lettuce and now I'm just waiting to transplant the Simpson lettuce into the garden. The sugar peas are finally blooming and have nearly climbed to the top of the chain link fence. I sowed some more peas a couple days ago in the new area. I'm not sure if they will make as the seeds are couple years old.

I took the leaf blower and got up on the roof and cleaned off the sticks, twigs and leaves which are constantly deposited there from both huge oaks that border the house.  Afterwards I settled into a few small projects before eating a light lunch of the last of the sauerkraut. So far eating light with no snacks have resulted in losing another pound or so. I did indulge with the vegetable beef soup with two bowls but no break or crackers. Nancy shared some of the soup with our small group as well as we always get talking about food. Our topic from the Truth series was on history and how it's be revision by this new progressive culture. It's amazing how much our founding fathers had written into our very beginnings the necessity to include GOD in all that we did as a nation. The pilgrims came here to promote the love of Christ and included him in all that was done but historians have taken that theme away with the rewriting of the birth of our start and why we came here in the first place. It's very true that if you change what happened in the past you can control what happens in the future and we see that happening every day, especially so in the present USA.

There is no mention of any other religion but only that we came here to be able to worship GOD and follow the Judeo-Christian beliefs that gave us freedom from the the church of England when the Mayflower let the Pilgrims off at Plymouth. Our present potus has destroyed that fact by introducing the theme that muslims were involved in our very beginnings. The love of Jesus Christ was the hope for the new world by our original settlers and this was written into the very fabric that held this new world together both politically and culturally. Our children are not taught this by the secular progressives who have gotten control of our culture through political correctness and revisionist history. It's sad to see the very teachings of Christ are no longer viable for our nation and are being erased. There is some areas of the nation that have taken on the muslim faith with sharia law and now even a muslim judge has been sworn into office on the Quran. We had better wake up and see what is happening to this country before we have been totally over run by these who are changing our love for mankind through the belief in Jesus and is teachings, LATER
