Monday Morning July 15th

Well Sunday found us missing corporate worship at Cornerstone because of this lingering flu, covid, cold or whatever but we are still both showing some coughs and congestion despite taking antibiotics, allergy meds, raw garlic for me and tons of supplements. Whatever it is, its time for it to go. I do have more energy and don't feel as bad but not totally clear, oh well.

I started the day with my usual before 6 rollout to my routines that begin after posting this ramble some quiet times to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name. All including Trump are doing better and Israel is taking it to the radical barbarians in Gaza eliminating several and hopefully will annihilate Iran eventually. We can only pray Iran is never allowed to have nuclear weapons for they are jihadist terrorist through and through.

We eventually listened to our pastor in Seminole and he brought a poignant message on whats happening not only culturally but within the church but with the straying on the gospel message. We must never let wokeism influence our christian values and its done that with many denominations now embracing blatant sin and celebrating it. Such a sad state for America who was founded on strong Biblical principles.

We headed into Sparta to run a couple errands but mainly to order lunch take out and pick up Nancy's meds at Walgreens as well as some groceries. I also gassed at at a whopping 3.34 a gallon which has gone up 30 cents a gallon almost over night. We got back around 1'ish and had a huge salad along with our very delicious pizza from the Pizzeria. That will give us plenty for leftovers as well this week. The temps were quite hot so we stayed inside the rest of the afternoon except for some porch setting near dark. I did hand water some of the veggie gardens as the heat is really maturing the lettuces and leafy greens and the tomato's are starting to get large enough to ripen. Cucumbers and squash are still ripening and being harvested daily as well.

I settled into the Rays game on the laptop and they beat the Cleveland team again in a close one, 2-0. They are finally at .500 ball going into the All Star break which means the season is half over. The days are starting to get shorter and now the morning are staying darker longer as well. We had a great talk with sister Dee and Mike who are heading our way next Sunday. We will celebrate her birthday and then the following week will be at their place for a couple of days and celebrate mine as well with a cousin reunion. We are looking forward to games, fine eatin' and fun times with them and they will showcase their new pup or dog since Bonnie passed away recently. I'm hoping this week we get some rain and cooler temps for their visit as I would like to mow but its so dry, LATER
