FOUR MORE YEARS...

We are back in Williamsburg Virginia where we were locked down last Spring for two months when the "virus" became an issue around the world. We've learned a lot, mostly that Democrat governors aren't our friend. Locking down the country, closing businesses, crazy draconian mandates were the lefts attempts at fear mongering. Here we are, 13 days out from Election Day. Donald Trump or Joe Biden? No Contest! Donald Trump hands down is the better man for the Presidency. Tens of thousands of people at his rallies compared to Joe Biden's 10 die hard supporters in circles 6 feet apart donning useless masks. A vote for Biden/Harris is a vote for Socialism and we know how that destroyed Venezuela. Under Donald Trump we will never be a Socialist country. Today Amy Coney Barrett will become Justice Barrett! President Trump has placed three Justices on the Supreme Court to date during his first term. He's well on his way to his second term and making America Great Again AGAIN after we suffered a devastating virus sent to the WORLD from China. Like 911 we will never forget and we will never forget how Donald Trumps quick response to Covid 19 protected us from millions of deaths across our country. Today I remain hopeful that my kids my grands and ALL unborn babies may still have a bright future. 

At least for FOUR MORE YEARS!!

HELL?? God Made It Simple for the Simple...

 "For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." romans 16:18

I believe The Last Days are upon us. Everybody wants to go to Heaven in the end; no one wants to go to Hell so some dig and dig until they find the answer they want to hear. They search for a new church, a new pastor, a new gospel... a message that feels good, a warm and fuzzy 'gospel' that's void of conviction, empty of substance, Truth is...Poison Kills whether you believe it or not; Frost Freezes whether you believe it or not; Fire Burns whether you believe it or not; the World is Round whether you believe it or not; Hell is real whether you believe it or not...

My Loves My Life! August Heading South...

 So... August is soon coming to a close. Life is speeding by. Did I just say it was August? Wasn't it just January?? I can't even keep up. The Covid farce is still going strong. People are compliant, the leftist plan is working with the clueless, ignorant ones falling for it hook line and sinker. Schools are still debating closure, teachers like the idea of getting paid to stay home, Democrats are still(after 4 years)trying to get Trump out of the White House and Election Day is fast approaching. The Election Infection is taking over common sense as voter fraud is alive and well. 

We had a good couple of months home in Pennsylvania with the kids and grands. Covid lockdown till June in Virginia kept our Summer short and sweet. We were able to visit Bran, Des & Addie twice and had a wonderful couple of days with Courtney and her four girls. A family cookout and campfire brought our stay to a close and now we're rolling south. First leg of our trip is Gettysburg, PA and Gettysburg Farm. We'll be here for a few weeks making intermittent mail runs home to the Mountain. We learned of two new grands arriving this coming winter. Bran & Des #2 the end of November and Jared and Caits Rainbow Baby arriving mid January just 7 weeks later. Looking forward to December. Home early, spending a week with Bran and Des, Addie and grandbaby #15,  a week with Jared and Cait and Christmas in Ohio with Courtney and the girls. This will be a first, Christmas away from our traditional family holiday festivities. Then down to NC until we head home again to meet grandbaby #16.

Deep Thoughts...Digging Deeper

August already...Day 4. My 64th year is just around the corner. The world is upside down. What's right is wrong, what's wrong is right! God seems so far away. We're living in the last days... No peace. Church is shallow, No conviction... No worship just smoke and mirrors... repetitive words and meaningless choruses... empty. Anything goes... No respect. It's not about the lost anymore, it's about numbers... people and dollars... No power, No blood, No life, No hope... 

...sigh

Quarantine...Shelter In Place

A New Year an New Adventure! Life is an adventure is 2020's understatement. This year certainly began with a bang and I'm not referring to fireworks and gun shots of New Year celebratory activities. January got off to a rocky start with lost jobs, a lost pregnancy and lastly lost time. The older we get the faster the years pass and the less time we have to do the things we want to do, see the people we long to see, have meaningful conversations with the oldsters about their future, snuggle the youngers with hugs and sloppy kisses and I love yous. Never enough time for coffee dates, or game nights, no time for girls nights or Sunday afternoon movies. I never thought those times would end but the faster the years pass the less time there is for those things that mean so much...to us.  Kids are grown, grands are off to discover the world while we hang on to every second that the littles can still find joy in our presence. Soon the time will have slipped us by and we will just be...just the two of us, wasting precious time.

So the adventure part happened the end of January when it became clear that the world was facing a pandemic of apocalyptic proportions, the likes of not seen for a hundred years. Today, half way through the year it's obvious that what turned our world upside down in 2020 is a lie. How easy it is for Satan to deceive...wake up! 

How Long Lord? Emo...

The questions of the day, How long will these tears flow, how long till this cracked and broken pot is whole again, how long till my mind will stop remembering, how long will I blame myself, how long will you allow my enemy to escape consequences, how long until you close these floodgates and give me peace. I'm so sad and feeling so low. This pain, sometime it's so far away then with a word it comes rushing back to destroy me again, will it ever be over will it ever end. How long Lord will these thoughts and doubts stop me in my tracks and knock me on my knees. [sigh...] praying

January...One Month & Counting

One month into the new year and 2020 is rolling along. Heartache seems to be the norm these days as we grow older, loss has so many faces, but these times of sadness are the reason God sent a comforter. He walks with us through the valley, listens to our tears, carries us to the mountain top and sets us back on solid ground where we can rejoice in our adversity and be grateful that once again God made a way...

I'm batting a thousand with my New Year Resolution of remembering my grands birthdays. One down in January so far, remembered it on the day but not soon enough to get that birthday card in the mail. I'm much better at remembering my kids birthday than the grand kids but so thankful for facebook and the ability to make my birthday greetings via social media. Let's see if I remember the next one. We have three January grands now. two in the arms of their mama and one in the arms of our Saviour. Our newest tiny grand arrived in heaven this month. We will love you forever sweet angel baby.

No snow yet this winter although it has been mighty cold. Some mornings have been double hoodie mornings only to have temperatures rise to enable us to shed the outer hoodie and long for an early Spring. Our reasons for flying south for the winter is to avoid the snow and escape the cold but it is nice to see some flakes of the white stuff with total confidence that it will be gone in a day. Maybe next week...this week temps will be in the 60's.

Another resolution is to lose weight and get healthy. We are well on our way, intermittent fasting, removed sugar and gluten and cut our half and half consumption in half. If it weren't for our sweet Liberty, we would be very large lumps on logs. Libby keeps us walking multiple times a day, we're drug/doctor free, not typical among our RVing friends, faithful with our supplements and continuing to learn of ways to encourage my thyroid to work properly.

So, January's view from the mountaintop is soon a memory...

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning
Great is your [His] faithfulness.     ~Lamentations 3:22-23
