Thursday Morning Nov 30

 Well Wednesday was the coldest day we've had here in a year and it was down right chilly despite the gauge reading 47. It stayed down below 50 for most of the morning then it warmed up to the 60's but that was about as high as it got, but there was plenty of sunshine which made great for drying clothes outside on the line. I started the day much the usual with a before 6 rollout to my quiet times to honor my LORD, give thanks for another day and to lift up several after posting this ramble. All seem to be holding. I headed out on my bike bundled up with an extra long sleeve shirt to the REC for two hours of pickle ball play with some decent players. We are getting a few more back from up north who are decent players and while many of the beginners stayed away except for a couple, the play was fun and fast.

I came back and piddled around outside in the gardens in the sunshine which by now had warmed up a little and the breeze had died down which made a big difference. I worked outside until lunch time then had a nice fresh all garden salad for lunch. Afterwards I headed to Sam's Club to fill up which was 30 cents a gallon cheaper than the station next door. They make getting a membership at Sam's almost a must just on the price of gas as well as other goodies.

It was clean the house for Nancy as she is having a cold or flu issue so I vacuumed moving out the couches which had collected tons of dust bunnies since I last moved them as well as the whole house. Afterwards it was watching the news in Israel until supper time which was some leftovers and then I headed out to church for the Wednesday night meeting with about 60-75 other folks. Pastor Derek brought a message on the heart issue that usually is the reason for many of our problems we face today. What we think about a situation comes from our own ability to reason instead of letting the love of Jesus be the factor that controls our emotions i.e. the heart factor.

I got back a little before 8 and we watched Amir with Gary at Cornerstone Chapel give some insight on whats happening in Israel and how the world is judging this nation and the consequences of this war against Hamas. We as Americans must never turn our backs on GOD's chosen people and while we aren't mention in bible prophecy we are a major supporter of this country and those who are of this race, LATER
