Had a busy afternoon.

Got really busy this afternoon, hence the drop off of posts.

Tomorrow I have to run a couple of errands and vote.

Our town doesn’t even have a republican running for city council. That part of the ballot just says “no petition filed”.  I guess people just gave up.

Will have more to say tomorrow.

By the way, I got a call from my friend in Florida.  Her neighbor, who was shot the other day is recovering nicely, but his arm is still paralyzed.  Hopefully that will straighten out.  He was a totally innocent bystander.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

It’s Not Just Cats and Dogs Who Love Human Babies REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

We’ve seen lots of videos of cats and dogs cuddling human babies. Betcha bunnies do it, too. But here’s a new one on me–a cockatiel kissing up to Baby and whistling a lullaby. Animals understand us better than we think.

This is truly weird, but I don’t think it will be anything good.

A Fallen Church… And a Prayer for America REPRINT

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

From October 11, 2012

Yesterday I drove past the church in which I was raised. I haven’t been inside the building since I heard the new pastor say, “Adultery is no big deal.”

Yesterday they had a new sign up on the front lawn, next to the old sign advertising “a welcoming and affirming congregation.” The new one reads:

“Stop persecuting them by deporting them. Let them stay.” “Them” being illegal aliens, people who break our country’s laws.

What was this sign doing in front of a church? Well, they don’t care much about God’s laws; why should they respect man’s laws?

A Prayer

This is a prayer which I pray every day now, for my country.

“Father, we as a nation are so far gone in sin and folly, so blind, so deaf, so lawless, that we cannot possibly save ourselves. Stretch forth your mighty arm, and the hand that created the heavens and the earth, and by your irresistible strength turn us off the disastrous course we have been following: turn us back to you, and make your face to shine: and then we shall be saved. Amen.”

Sometimes, I just wish…

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I’m sure everybody has had this feeling at one time or another…

I wish I could talk to my parents, and ask them questions about things they were around to see (well before my time) while they were going on.

I’m pretty sure this is a universal feeling.  My Mom did tell me about the influenza epidemic when she was a young woman.  It was amazing to hear a first-hand account of her experiences during that time.   My Dad told me about grandpa (his Dad) having typhoid fever.  My Dad wasn’t born yet, but grandpa told him about it.  It did leave Grandpa with a bowel issue for the rest of his life.  And many other events and occurrences that I would find so interesting to hear about.

I guess the motto is “talk to people  while they  are here”.

Also Fatima.  I am not Catholic, but it sure seems that something really happened in Portugal in 1917.  Something worthy of note.

Well, that is the extent of my musings for today.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.
