That is my family’s specialty. We look forward to making it every year. “Pops” would make it every year, and he passed the recipe down to my Mom. So, that is what we make, and it is delicious. The Peanut Butter becomes very smooth. I will try and get a picture of it for you, later so you know what the finished product looks like.
I debated, not answering the daily prompt. But I don’t have my coffee, and I intend to write a bit, so I need a warm up. If I didn’t need sleep, I would play World of Warcraft and continue to search for Bert. Also, I would get “As” in my upcoming classes.
It is shaping up nicely. Not like last time, where we ended up with a bunch of swamp monsters defiling the highest office in the land. Also, Trump is ensuring that there need never be a Kamala Presidency, by appointing women in his cabinet. They will all be viable, and experienced candidates for President.
My favorite animal is horses, followed by a bug- ants. I like the way ants build civilizations.
Pepperoni Pizza, tacos, and hamburgers and hotdogs. Yum.
Is always fun to visit. Although- here in Texas, I think I would just get stung by a jellyfish. But I do like South Padre Island. I enjoyed all sorts of beaches- from the rocky beaches of the Puget Sound, to fascinating beaches in far off Manama, Bahrain, in the Persian Gulf.
But I prefer the mountains. That is because I grew up in Western Washington, surrounded by the mountains, I think. I mean, even today, I was searching the skyline for Mountains. That was the whole reason for me, going to Washington last year. I needed to see the mountains once more. There are just sounds in the mountains that no beach has. If you have been in the mountains you know exactly what I am talking about. So, yes beaches are fun- but for me Mountains is where it is at.
Sometimes. Yes, I do, but there are times I ignore my instincts. By instinct I am naturally a person who dwells in depression and anxiety. I find that, to easily I slip into those things. I take medicine, and have a therapist to help me with these conditions. So, I have found that I can develop a positive outlook on things. It is not by instinct, by any means. Despite what I think, or despite my instincts I try to do like President Trump- where I say, or act in a positive way.
Aside from medicine, how do I do this? Well, first of all, I draw upon my faith in Jesus. “All good things flow from Him above”. So, I find it to be important to me that Jesus is central to the things I do. Then, it makes it so much nicer to come to the positive, or to find the beauty in something, or the possibilities. I am not sure why it is that way, but it is- and it works. Jesus gives us “That peace without understanding”, and I feel it. Because I feel that “peace”, inside of me, I feel I can be positive instead of always being negative.
My Dad always says, “Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative”. In my present condition that is what I do. Of course, I have plenty of reasons to be positive too! Why, just this year alone, I went from living in Washington State on my own for eight months- to preparing to go back to school, all within a year. So, I believe its working. That doesn’t mean I don’t have bad days. I certainly do.
When I got my parking citation, that was definitely a bad day, or when I realized I might face eviction in Washington State. I keep my eye on the positive- first for my citation I appealed it, and it should go through. When it came to my lease- I broke it. Thus, I never faced an eviction. In breaking my lease, I felt and thought for certain, I was acting upon my instincts. Just as I was doing it, when I appealed my citation.
So, there you have it- yes I trust my instincts- to a point. But In order to function, I feel I am having to work against my instincts too. Well, thank you for reading my blog- God bless you!
It’s the middle of Fall, and it is also my birth month.
Happy Birthday to me!!
I enjoy going to my Mom’s house. There, I can have a coke, and unwind a bit as I relay details of my day to my Mom. After all, she taught me, growing up, so I am sure she is curious to know about my day at times.
The Parks Mall is another place I enjoy going too. I eat there, sometimes weekly. I also enjoy the covered parking. Perhaps, during the summer months I will go there to study, so my car doesn’t get over heated.
Believe it or not, I enjoy going to Scott’s house. His house is kind of small, so I enjoy it more when he comes over to my Dad’s house. But nevertheless, its on my list because- well thats where Scott lives.
Little Road Chick-Fil-A. It has wifi, and I have often considered setting up there with my laptop, to write in my blog. Perhaps in the future, when I have my studies too. My laptop is pretty big, so I don’t often want to move it. Lol.
I used to go to the Starbucks on Little Road as well. Its a good spot to meet someone, online I think. The entire thing, is in view of the public, and so if you are not sure who you are meeting, you can bet the entire area can see what is going on.
Last but not least, is the University. I enjoy spending time there, and often when I was going to school before, I would go for walks across the campus. One time, I took Max with me. He seemed to enjoy it too! (We didn’t go inside lol)
So, I could tell him of the evolution of my support for him as President. I don’t believe that Trump was planning to run for President for 20 years. I think something happened, that set him off. I remember learning about Trump when I was a kid. I did wonder, “Why doesn’t he run for President”? But I just figured he was to busy. Then, because of Trump I came up with this neat idea for a hotel. I will tell you about it, sometime.
Then, when I was about 30 years old, stationed in San Diego. I went to church, and met this lady there. I call her “The Candidate”. She said she was interested in running for an office in Arlington, or San Diego. That is why, because I never got her name. She got drunk on half a near beer too. Anyways, she didn’t name Trump- but she described him to me, of him running for President. I remembered he had run before, but didn’t come close to getting the nomination. I believe he ran as a democrat at the time. Or an independent. After describing Trump, she paid for my meal, and left. It was at “The Flavors of East Africa” on University.
Well, anyways, time went on and I was deployed on USS Princeton. I was walking back to Radio, from either the Galley, or the Smoke pit, and I had this thought suddenly. I knew that Ted Cruz would campaign his heart out, no doubt about it. But even he could not beat Hillary. NO way- as it stood we were going to have eight years of her. It had to do with money- Ted Cruz did not have the money to beat her. But I realized, Trump did. Suddenly, I thought, “Yep, that would be perfect if Trump ran for President- he would beat her. He has the money, and a recognized name too”.
When Trump declared his candidacy in 2015, I was already out of the NAVY. I was in class at TCC, in Government. So, it was fitting that the Professor, Ms. Bowman, (who had a law degree, but was teaching government), announced that Trump had declared his candidacy, and that she wondered what the students thought. I didn’t say anything- but I was revealing in my shock and surprise. Remembering back to my thought on the Princeton- and here we go, it was happening.
I decided I had to make sure this was real. I decided during the Primary I would vote for Dr. Ben Carson. If things were different, I do think he would make a great President. But in today’s world, they would make mince meat of him, because he is to nice, to be dealing with the DemoKKKrats. Nevertheless, I needed to make sure this was really happening- the Trump Candidacy. I was excited as I left class. The future prospects were promising.
I never voted for Bush, and I never voted for Obama. Looking back, I wish I had voted for McCain Palin because, I really admire her. She kind of came out of nowhere, and needed support. But nevertheless, I didn’t vote all those years, until Trump was the Candidate for President in 2016. By then, I was attending classes at University of Texas at Arlington. But I remember going to vote at the South Campus TCC- casting my first Presidential ballot ever.
I remember going to Grease Monkey, after a class, and voting to watch the election unfold. But I didn’t stay the entire night. I went home, went to sleep, and prayed that Trump would win. When I woke up the next morning, Jack called me, and told me Trump had won! I was elated. It was exactly as I had seen it- there would be no Presidency for Hillary. She would not have been able to handle COVID. I remember how calm Trump was during that ordeal. He was at his best, I think. Thats why in 2020, I am pretty sure, Trump was cheated of the election. Other nations were looking to Trump, for some kind of guidance, of what to do, during the “plandemic”.
My final thoughts are, that I believe God chose Trump for this time. There is a verse in Esther which says “Chosen for just such a time as this”, that saying comes from scripture. Its a reminder that, when we face difficulties, and evil, God will provide, we don’t have to fear evil because of this. Its easy to forget, and even King David sometimes expressed not being able to see the hand of providence, in the Psalms. I believe by voting for Trump for a third time, in 2024 I was on the right side of History, for sure. Trump ended up sacrificing a lot to run for President- and if you ask me, Trump deserves a third term. God bless you- and thank you for reading my blog.
