Yes, I am drinking it right now. I love to drink coffee when I write. I hope, I will remember this in school this time. Because I enjoy having coffee while I write because, I think coffee “fuels” creativity in me, for some reason. I don’t find myself needing to smoke while I write. Sometimes I take breaks and smoke. I am drinking it black right now, but sometimes I like a little cream or sugar. I do like Starbucks too, but mostly just regular coffee works for me.
I am drinking coffee right now, because I need to stay up. I work tomorrow, at 11:00 PM. I plan to get my rest during the day. I got a lot of rest last night, so I think I will be able to stay up, till the wee hours of the morning. In the meantime, as you can see, I am getting some writing done in my blog. So, I made a full pot, and I am two cups in.
I am also listening to Christmas music. I have it up louder than I had it before. So, I just shared that so you can picture me, coffee cup in hand, Christmas music playing, and me typing away.
I have never liked tea. I remember my first sip of it, and I didn’t like it. I never developed a taste for tea. Hot or cold. But hot coffee, is delicious to me. My first sip of coffee, I wanted another sip! It was my therapist’s coffee, up in Washington State. I still remember the smoothness of the coffee as it went down for the first time.
This was the train I went and visited in Washington State. I went and saw it in March. I just started driving on I-5, got off the interstate and found Highway 20, and on the sign it said “Newhalem ‘x’ miles”. So, I started driving, and just kept driving for hours in order to find it.
I used to see this train when I was growing up. It still looks the same. But it is such a neat memory. Either my family would load up, and drive out there, or sometimes people would come up from Texas to visit us. this was one of the spots where we would take them. There is a mile long nature trail, across a bridge. The trail leads to a source of electrical power for Seattle.
This is where the conductor would stand. I took a picture of this, not sure why. But I decided to include it here. After I saw the train, and walked the trail, and sat by the river for a little bit, I began driving back to Everett. Thank you for reading my blog! I feel like I am writing just for you.
Coffee is like fuel, or oil for a car. I drink a lot of coffee. I especially enjoy coffee while I write. It fuels me, by giving me something warm to drink. I don’t drink much tea. I have tried Green Tea and Jasmine Tea. Each day is a little bit more smooth because of coffee. There are times that I drink a pot of coffee a day.
How are you doing? I hope you are doing well. I forgot my manners again. I applied to work at FedEx. Two different locations, one in Irving and the other in Village Creek. I kind of wanted to try and work at FedEx again after working at Albertsons for a while. But I forgot the pain of working at FedEx. Now, I am double thinking my plan. Nevertheless, I do not want to waist my time. They sent me remote interviews to complete. Have you ever worked at FedEx? My work attitude was very different back when I first worked at FedEx. I had not experienced working at Albertsons. At Albertsons I have learned neat skills, like working as a team. Or, how to keep going when I am ready to quit. When it comes to those carts, sometimes I don’t want to get them. But I keep going.
I am listening to another YouTube. Listening to something, also helps me to write. So, I am listening to The Watchman. The Watchman is probably the most theologically correct Bible channel on YouTube. So convicting too. It helps draw me to God, ultimately. That is what my writing is about. Drawing close to God- knowing Jesus Christ. These are what is important in life. Irregardless of where I work, or how much money I have, I know to make time for God, in everything I do. But I should make my time for God the center of what I do. But I am working on that one. Does this bother you? Oh, I’m sorry. Not trying to bother you, nor make you uncomfortable. Believe me, it makes me uncomfortable to, sometimes. But in the end, I love it when the truth is discussed. All the wars going on, and the afflictions across the globe, I bet they want to blame God. I am not so sure it is God doing them. We might be doing them to ourselves. Oh, now you think I believe in “climate change”. No, climate change is always happening. But we sin, and the planet earth responds to that. The only solution is to turn to God. Turn to Jesus, repent and change the way we think and act. Not to many people want to do that right now. It is uncomfortable, as I said. It is not easy to admit, we are wrong. Especially when it comes to being wrong about God. I used to think, all this devastation was a result of God. No, it is a result of ourselves.
God is watching, waiting for us to turn and repent. Now, it is hard to find a good church. Either the church is “pouring out the Holy Spirit”, or the church sounds almost disconnected from all that is going on. As long as the church though teaches the Bible, and allows us to listen, then I believe it might actually be a good church. They are not content in either case, to go over the entire Bible. They selectively go over parts that bolster what they believe. Or, they ignore 90% of the Bible, because they do not want to discuss what is in the rest of the Bible. When Jesus himself discusses these things in the Gospels. God loves us. Yes. The Holy Spirit is important, but how does the Holy Spirit move in our time? The Apostolic gifts were for the Apostles. Our gift from the Holy Spirit is understanding the word of God.
Psalm 19
For the choir director; a psalm of David
1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky displays what his hands have made.
2 One day tells a story to the next. One night shares knowledge with the next
3 without talking
without words
without their voices being heard.
4 Yet their sound has gone out into the entire world,
their message to the ends of the earth.
He has set up a tent in the heavens for the sun,
5 which comes out of its chamber like a bridegroom.
Like a champion eager to run its course.
6 It rises from one end of the heaven and circles around to another.
Nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 The teachings of the LORD are perfect. They renew the soul.
The testimony of the LORD is dependable.
It makes the gullible people wise.
8 The instructions of the LORD are correct.
They make the heart rejoice.
The command of the LORD is radiant.
It makes the eyes shine.
The fear of the LORD is pure.
It endures forever.
The decisions of the LORD are true.
They are completely fair.
10 They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey, even the drippings from a honeycomb.
11 As your servant I am warned by them.
There is great reward in following them.
12 Who can notice every mistake? Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep me from sinning. Do not let anyone gain control over me. Then I will be blameless, and I will be free from any great offense.
14 May the words from my mouth and the thoughts from my heart be acceptable to you, O LORD, my rock and my defender.
I included the Psalm because, well it had been on my mind. I was introduced to it by a video from Answers In Genesis. So, I shared it here. On my blog.
Well, it is time for me to go eat. I ate Jack In the Box. I enjoy the tacos. They taste good, and are healthy, although lately, I have detected some grease on them. But not much grease, just enough to notice.
The actor Chris Rock was diagnosed with COVID-19. He has been pushing the vaccine. Which reminds me, I need to let Albertsons know about being vaccinated. I get a whole day off. On October 15, 2021 I will be fully vaccinated. Anyways, you can read about actor Chris Rock here.
Chris Rock on Sunday said he has been diagnosed with COVID-19 and sent a message to anyone still on the fence: “Get vaccinated.”
– Actor Chris Rock
Chris Rock jokingly referred to the one shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which he received in May, as the “Food stamps of vaccines”. Despite being vaccinated, Chris Rock still contracted COVID. I am getting the vaccine against my own conscience. Dr. Rochelle, the Director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said “It is concerning enough that we feel like we have to act”. This referred to guidance from the CDC which suggested that the vaccinated must still wear a mask in doors. This article came from Q13FOX up in Washington State.
This celebrity got sick at the same time as some other celebrities. So, now the celebrities all want COVID it seems like. The CDC is increasing its guidelines, and removing one of its incentives for being vaccinated. Like it was a trick to get a certain amount vaccinated, then they put the masks back on. Some people at work were upset, because they make people who are vaccinated, or not, wear masks. In fact, there is a big poster attached to the timeclock which says everyone is required to wear a mask. Regardless of whether they are vaccinated.
A full forensics identification has not been completed. But a body was discovered at the Bridger-Teton National Forest. In a press conference, the authorities released that the body fit the description of the body fit that of Gabby Petito. The article from ABC News, found on Yahoo can be found here. Gabby Petito went missing after a cross-country road trip with her boyfriend. She was 22 years old.

The dates they are looking at are from August 27 to August 30 at the Spread Creek Dispersed Camp Ground. I know this story captured National attention. So, I wanted to include it. It definitely is a bizarre story. I first heard about it on the radio.

The family asked for privacy to grieve. The search is on for Miss Petito’s boyfriend, now.
I refreshed Max’s water. It was hot today, so he drank a lot of water. Today, at work, I got carts, swept up the side walk, an emptied the lobby trash. I managed to clear the lot today- with some help. It felt nice to say, “The lot is clear”. I worked all day to do that. Sometimes, it is easy to clear the lot, when there are not very many people. But this time, until about late noon, there were quite a few people. What can I say? Business was booming.
Ray Comfort of Living Waters
I included this video by Ray Comfort. It was shared to me by Joe from Facebook. This is how I really feel about things. That is why I write in my blog the way that I do. Because the most important thing is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Everything else I write is garbage compared to writing about the Kingdom of Heaven. As a free gift. That is what Ray Comfort says. He says it all so well. What he says, is how I feel. Without Christ, all the other stuff has no meaning. Well, it has meaning, but it ends. Someday. The eternal gift of Jesus Christ, however, never ends. If you got nothing else from my writing, but this one thing, I am overwhelmed with joy by it.
Well, i hope you have a good night. I hope you enjoy reading my blog, as much as I enjoy writing in it.
