Well Thursday was another busy day that started with a before 6 roll out to my usual morning routines that start with some quiet time after posting this ramble to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and lift up several by name. All seem to be holding at this time. I finished up my quiet time on my bike ride to the Rec for two hours of pickle ball with mainly good players. I was whupped on my bike ride home pedaling against a strong breeze. Nancy was gone off to her mid morning Bible study at S.R.B.C.
I piddled around in the gardens hand watering the plants and hoeing a few weeds which are forever growing then headed out to the front yard once against pulling weed until I had a 5 gallon bucket full. By then I was really whupped plus it was noon and Nancy just got home and we had a lunch of garden fresh salads that I had harvested and cleaned yesterday. The heat was back with temps in the 80's so the a/c is back on after a couple of days of near perfect temps.
I settled into some reading after lunch as she took off shopping and made two stops at Walmart and Publix as we are expecting sister Dee and Mike for the next 2 weeks. It will be a little different as they will be staying in their new pull behind trailer at a camp ground near us but we will probably eat together at nights and play games with us and our friends they have met over the years here in Floridas and at the cabin.
We had left over beef and beans for supper then I headed out with neighbor Dan to S.R.B.C. for our weekly mens Bible study with about a couple dozen of other men. The study was on servanthood as a spiritual gift when we become Believers. It was good and we were there for two hours or more sharing first as a large group then we broke down into small groups of about 5 guys. It was going on 9 before getting back to the house then it was shower time and some TV time about the Korea War during the winter of 1950 with unbelievable film of that time. The USA military suffered greatly but the Chinese were ill equipped and suffered greatly as well and I saw pictures of men with frozen feet in blocks of ice because of the lack of boots, still able to fight. Prime video has the documentary about the CHOSIN Reservoir battle as thousands of Chinese infiltrated with the North Koreans to battle our military with temps at 50 below zero at times, LATER
