Sunday and Monday Mornings

Well Saturday saw us with another beautiful day but by evening the winds were moving a front into the area and the temps had dropped a little but nothing like Sunday evening. We spent the biggest part of the day at St. Pete Christian School watching Keswick play in a basket ball tournament. The first game was at 10 'ish and then the championship game was at 6 'ish against a much more mature team with mainly 8th grader whereas Ava's team was mainly 6th graders. We had won the Friday evening game by a huge score and then the first game on Sat. with a convincing win but when we went up against this last team of 8th graders we were blasted by 20 points. I must say this team had won all of their other games by 50-60 points and we kept them to a 20 point deficit which in a way was a win for our girls. We ate out at Buffalo Wild Wings on the way and saw no bells on their food.

Sunday morning I was up early for the 6 am load in for BridgePoint Church at the college. It had rained overnight but the temps were still warm enough to ride to the college on my bike in shorts but as the morning progressed the temps turned much colder and by late afternoon we had the heat on. I covered one hill of cucumbers as they are not a lover of the cold temps but the wind was so strong I don't know if the blankets stayed on. I don't think we were getting below freezing but the wind chill sure made it feel that way.

We had an awesome service at BridgePoint with many new faces and we sat in on the first service and worked the second service as door holders and greeters. Our attendance has increased dramatically over the last few weeks. Nancy and I will attend a weekly class at the rec. titled a Blessed Life which is a Bible study in between all of our other engagements. I watched football during the evening and while neither of the teams were my favorites the games were close and both went into overtime. I would have liked to see the Saints the win and they were actually robbed on a blown interference play by the officials which let the Rams win at the end and of course the Patriots came back in overtime and marched right down the field with the old man Brady at the QB position who regardless of what you say is one of the best ever at that position. I'm not a fan of their coach but they have dedicated players who give everything to win.


The Super Bowel should be a good one as well with the Rams vs Patriots but in all honestly I think Brady will once again prevail with his receivers and the defensive line being the real stars. It will be the east coast vs west coast it seems. I turned the lights out after the game and hit the sack but Nancy awakened me sometime around midnight to see the lunar eclipse and blood moon and it was red. This morning I'm looking out the kitchen window as I make this post and the moon is a big ball of brightness in the western sky.

Well is seems the earth's warming specialists are keeping a low profile with another winter storm blanketing the eastern part of the nation with cold temps, snow and ice. They are just like the naysayers who fail to call the illegal immigration a crisis. I'm hoping our duly elected POTUS TRUMP calls for a national emergency and builds the barrier or whatever the libs want to call it to stop the illegals, the drugs and the cartels who use innocents for human trafficing. It's such a shame as the dem's refusing to support this security barrier while promoting the killing of the innocent unborn with abortion on demand and paid for with tax paper money. Well that's about it for the past two days. The rec. is closed today along with library and most schools for M.L. K. Day, LATER
