Tuesday Morning April 28th

Well, yesterday Monday was very unusual for this time of the year here in central Florida. I mean the temps were cool and no humidity with bright sunshine an a stiff breeze out of the north, yikes it was almost a cabin day during the summer. The trees have leafed out, the grass is a dark green and the birds were singing so loudly one took notice when being outside and thats what I did most all day.

I started the day with an after 6 rollout to my morning routines that start with the handful of vitamins and supplements washed down with a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I post this ramble then spend some time with my Creator and Lord lifting us several by name. Well the list gets longer as next door neighbor Carol approached me and asked for prayer for her daughter. She has gone through 3 brain operations for cancer and now it has returned and it's where the doctors can not operate again; she is a young woman in her late 40's with two teenagers. Most all of the others I lift up daily seem to be holding their own and many need miracles for a recovery and it seems another miracle will be needed with her as well.

I headed out after a breakfast of some grapes an apple to check on the gardens. The cucumber vines are wilting for some reason despite watering, but if they go it won't be the first time for this occurrence. We got more fruit this year than ever before. I harvested a couple along with egg plants and another mess of collards for my fireman neighbor who takes them to the firehall for his team. I decided to take off on a bike ride as my pickle ball guys made no effort to get in touch with me about playing. I sure hope all is well with them. I had a nice power ride through the hood which is keeping the legs in shape as well as the cardio. I decided after getting back from my ride to mow the yards as this rain last week end has really helped with grasses in both yards. I had started some clipping of the St. Augustine grass and they all were showing roots.

I noticed area down by the road where a ground cover weed was starting to spread so I decided to dig it up and shake out the dirt and replant that area with grass clippings. That kept me busy until lunch time. Nancy was off to the store shopping once again much to my dismay because she was once so adamant about me not playing pickle ball outside and here she is off shopping at Target, oh well. We cancelled a supper with our friends on Sunday because of being with the boys on a weekly basis. This lock down is outrageous for most healthy folks but if you live in a big city with lots of personal interactions then I think the social distancing is a must, especially if you use mass transit. The loss of liberty and freedom due to this fear and panic is becoming outright harmful to most of the nation and folks are starting to see where some governor's are using it for political reasons which is tantamount to totalitarianism.

We ate early as the Botbyl's invited us to see the movie"UNPLANNED"at 7 o'clock. So we took another together bike ride around 4'ish and it was still rather cool outside. We had the windows and doors open throughout the day airing out the house. It was marvelous to say the least. The movie was really a story based on a clinic director for planned parent hood which becomes initiated in what really happens in their facility; totally about abortions and how its done. She becomes a huge adversary after learning what was happening to the innocent defenseless unborn and how this event is now a major political agenda for so many; the right to life or the right to choose and she choose life. Her story is one that has gone like wildfire across this land and yet there are those in the gov't who still will not protect these unborn even after surviving the attempted abortion. The Kentucky governor is the latest who vetoed a bill to save these babies who survived after an attempted abortion. The governor of Virginia my home state state, said its up to the mother whether they should kill the baby after its been born; that's murder in my way of thinking.

It's no wonder the world is in disarray with politicians making these kinds of decisions about life. We are created in the image of GOD and now we have decided who should live and who should die within the womb; in other words we are playing GOD and we are seeing HIS judgement upon the world he created with all of these issues which could mean its close to judgement day, LATER
