Well Sunday was an awesome day of worship at Bridgepoint Church where we also volunteered as greeters at one of the several doors that lead into the auditorium as well as the balcony which was filled with several hundred folks in the second of five services during the day. Pastor Tim had a great message on "leveraging your life". I was surprised at the number of folks out on our coldest morning of this year with temps in the low 30's and the wind was constant which made it feel even colder. Afterwards we made a stop at Wal-Mart which is on our route home and then around 2:30 we picked up neighbors Dan and Carol and headed over to the Salt Rock Grille for a meal with 16 other folks who are with Amway and our 300 point club.
The morning was a cold one as we started the day with 6'ish rollout. The heat pump came on several times through out the night and I was worried the cold would damage my garden. It's really too big to cover with old blankets and they would cause more damage than the cold as they break off the tender limbs. If it was a major freeze with constant below temps for hours I would give the blankets a try but since the forecast was for the 30's and only for a couple of hours I would take the chance of not covering them. I gave the garden a good watering in the afternoon which helps the roots to better cope with the cold. We did our morning routines and then got ready to head out to church.
We headed over to Redington Beach to the grille and had a very good late lunch/early dinner meal that started with a little vino for me as well as most of us, a bowl of grouper cajun style soup, crusty bread and then a rare seared Ahi tuna steak with some Jasmine rice. Yeow I licked the plate clean. Nancy had some sort of beef steak plate after some escargot as an appetizer. We all had a very small cup of blueberry cobbler with ice cream for dessert. That was my first dessert of 2017 and it did taste great. The whole meal was awesome and we dined for a couple hours as all of us are not only in the business as IBO's(independent business operators) but our team leaders are the most generous and friendly(like family) as well. We are all Believers as most of them attend Element Church in Tampa and are on staff there as well 6 of us over here in Pinellas County attend church. Our son Bobby and wife Katie are up there in the business with their huge down line folks which Nancy and I are one. We are users and do promote the products but we aren't into the business aspect except for our few customers and of course buying for the family which keeps us in the 300 point club and benefiting from it. We each received a party gift bag of new products as we left the eatery.
We helped Carol out with a couple stops on the way home as she manages some houses for wayward folks who have made the choice to go straight or either go the jail. These are small time criminals either from alcohol, drugs or small misdeeds who would otherwise be incarcerated but they have to have a job and stay in a house paying for their rent, food, etc. during their recovery period before they reenter society. Nancy use to volunteer in the office weekly but it has become so large that paid staff now does the job on a weekly basis.
Well I tuned into the first half of the Steeler vs Dolphin game and the Curtain was too much for the Fish and then we got to see the last half of the Packer vs the Giant game and the Packers were just too much on the frozen tundra for the Giants. Wow was it ever cold there and I do remember my football days at James Wood playing on the frozen ground on Friday nights. It was miserable and the equipment was nothing like for todays players especially with the ability to wear gloves which was unheard of in the early 60's. Tackling a hard helmet with bare hands often brought skinned knuckles and jammed fingers, how well I remember the pain on a frozen field with cleat marks in the bare frozen ground and what grass was still growing when you made a tackle.
Well it wasn't long after the game that I watched a little of Alaskans Last Frontier on the History channel and then read until I fell asleep with a book around 10'ish. I got lots of cold snow pictures from our friends in the mountains and beyond and they are experiencing unbelievable record setting cold temps with tons of snow, another sign this global warning theory pushed by the libs is a scam and if you question it or them your not being sensitive to the earth. Well one volcano unleashes more carbons into the atmosphere than all of the combined vehicle emissions, Wake up folks and realize the tree huggers are a special interest group who seek authority over you and your property with the help of the corrupt politicians in D.C. and now they make that a morale issue so you feel bad about being a user of the earth's properties, LATER
