Well Thursday found us once again with a rather chilly morning to start the day and by late evening it had warmed up considerably as we were expecting another front with some rain and then once again much cooler temps over the weekend. We had the heat to come on several times through out the day but nothing like the cold up at the cabin or in Virginia where it was down below freezing.
I started the day with my usual roll out before 6 and then my routines of a few quiet moments to honor my Creator and then to my daily discipline for personal growth. I'm finding out a lot about myself with this daily journey of what makes me the way I am and how I could better myself with some adjustments. I'm really into this short 5-10 minute thought progress that instills wisdom into my daily life and of the decisions I ultimately make.
I got ready for my ride out to the Rec on the bike after posting this daily ramble and an apple for breakfast. It was a cold ride on the bike with the wind causing my eyes to water from the cold. We had 3 courts in action for pickle ball and I had a good run for an hour and half with several different partners and actually worked up a sweat doing so. After my allotted time I set for myself of an hour or so and then finally losing a game, I decided to head home. The temps had warmed up nicely but it still required a light jacket as the wind shifted from the north to the east.
I piddled around in the garden and hand watered it as well for an hour or so before heading in. Amy and Eliza Faye were coming for lunch and we doctored up 2 frozen pizzas with extra toppings of fresh mushrooms and cheeses. Wow were they ever delicious. Eliza was so funny and is growing up so fast as she likes for someone to be in the room with her when she plays with the doll house or when watching one of her favorite movies. I sat with her and read while she wiggled around on the couch watching a movie. After they left I read for a couple hours while Nancy walked the hood. We decided to eat light for supper with just a salad for me and cereal for her as we were meeting for our weekly small group at the Botbyl's. We did a DVD on the Truth Series from Focus on the Family and this professor is so knowledgeable as he relates to us the sociology of GOD's plan for mankind. Very interesting and while we learned that everything GOD created was good we learned that it was not good for man to be alone, so he created Eve, so in comes the bigger picture with a woman into the creation and all that entails in the story of mankind.
Well we got back to the house around 8:30 and I wanted to watch the debate between the Republican candidates and I was somewhat encouraged they all agreed the country was on the wrong path with this administration under the inept leadership of this potus. A few had some great ideas on how to start turning this country around and I was happy to hear the honoring of our constitution was a great start. Our founding fathers were very smart in establishing this document to be governed by as they were once under the constraints of a one man's rule. We must never allow that to happen here in this democracy as this potus has tried to do with his executive orders and disregard for the laws that have set us apart from the rest of the world. I was thrilled to hear that some candidates reiterated our people were under the Judeo-Christian principles that were part of our heritage and not some made up fallacy of being all inclusive to those who worship a prophet that kills for not becoming a part of their theology.
Any of those men on the stage would be good for America and some would be better than others and especially better than the corrupt leadership of a Clinton who has been less than honest with honoring America's classified intelligence. I think she will be indicted for her role in Benghazi and for lying about the e-mails that allowed our classified information to be intercepted or at least that is my desire for her as she let 4 American's perish then lied about what happened to their families. Well I was an hour late getting to the horizontal lab, LATER
