Sunday Morning

Well Saturday saw us with a cool morning and some sunshine and by early afternoon it warmed up and then we had a lots of rain around 4 'ish that lasted well into the evening. It's supposed to be nice today but then the temps are supposed to drop down into the 40's at night with highs only reaching the low 60's for a few days this coming week, yeow what a change in the weather pattern, but at least it not in the frozen the North or back to the high 80's and 90's.

I started the day with my usual 6'ish roll out and my routines of spending a few quiet moments with my Creator being ever so grateful for the blessing on my family and then I did my daily discipline for personal growth and I'm finding it very helpful in my choices, goals and attitudes. Afterwards I posted this ramble and had an apple for breakfast to start the gastric juices flowing. The garden looked great with the dew still on the leafy greens so I pulled a couple dozen collards leafs and washed them before cutting them up for the pan. I then cut up a whole onion along with 1/2 pound of bacon and sauteed those two together before dumping it into the sauce pan with the chopped collards. I added a little apple cider vinegar and some red pepper flakes and let them simmer for the next 5-6 hours. They were marvelous in taste and melted in your mouth.

We took off on a hour hike through the hood and worked up a sweat. The sun was shining brightly but the nice soft breeze was delicious. We kept the house open until late evening when Nancy felt we needed to dry out all the moisture from the evening rain so the a/c is back on for now. The Tracy's came around 3'ish with a huge salad as did the Botbyl's with a pot of spaghetti squash. I put on bone-in pork chops on thr grill and along with the collards we feasted around 4:30. Yikes that was some fine down home cooking and eatin'. We stayed away from our usual appetizers and vino as we all are trying to lose some weight and really we had leftovers from all of the dishes, so they weren't needed. This morning I was down to 181 in just 5 days of eating differently without appetizers or snacks and no alcoholic beverages. Today, Sunday we are eating out at the Salt Rock Grille so I will probably have a glass of vino but stay away from the carbs.

Well we tuned into the playoff games and neither were very exciting as the first game we were rooting for the Chiefs and they blew the Texans away and the second game looked as if the Steelers were destroying the Bengals when I turned the lights out. The Bucs fired their head coach so we are looking for a new leader. I wish we could just fire the potus as he is a terrible leader as well and start over with some one with some love for this nation and the folks within. We will survive but at a great cost as most Americans love their freedoms and liberties which was bought at a high price. Whenever you doubt the love of these folks for their country you must wonder through the national cemeteries throughout this land. I continue to call on my fellow military personnel, law enforcement officers and lovers of GOD to stand up to those secular progressives who have deemed it fit to destroy our culture by electing unfit and unqualified folks into government leadership. Wake Up America!

Well take a few hours today and gather with other Believers and stand up for our Judeo-Christian beliefs and honor GOD with your attendance in a church. Remember Jesus said "where two or more are gathered in my name I'm with you". We have allowed our culture to be inundated with those who make mockery of the very foundations our nation was founded on. These sympathizers of radical muslim terrorists are evident with this present potus and his advisors and their goal is destroy the country because of their ideology, LATER
