  • It Rained And Got Hot On The Same Day!!

    I woke up, this morning, it was raining. Pouring really. I was impressed, thought we might get flooded out. But then, it got hot! Almost all the water is dried up.

    Tonight I have to go to work. I start at 9PM, in Garland, Texas. Soon, I will start heading towards there. My Dad suggested taking the George Bush Turnpike, said it goes straight to Garland. It is at an apartment complex. But for now, I am letting my phone charge.

    I really enjoy my phone. It has a lot of memory (120gigbytes). I have a lot of images saved on there. The battery is a little bit weak. But as with all Androids, its very sturdy. SOmetimes, I throw my phone. I had an Apple, once, through it, and guess what? The phone shattered!

    The Apple iPhone is not cheap. So, everyone reading this knows, I lost a lot of money. I only had that phone for about a month. I wish I had known better. I enjoyed listening to music on it. But, I don’t remember that much about it, as compared to the Android. I found myself confused.

    Anyways, enough about phones. I am writing this- and I have a lot of memes on my phone, and on Google Photos. Maybe I will share one of those. Before I do that, I want to share a link for a publication I sometimes see, on iCampus.

    Although not all seed will come to fruition, it must be sown throughout the world.

    It is from the Institute for Creation Research. The article is titled “The Good Seed”. It describes the “Seed” as being some of the imagery the Bible uses. To describe God’s Word, and the Gospel. The message of hope!

    Sadly, John MacArthur is in the hospital. He is not expected to recover, and the service at GCC (Grace Community Church) in San Diego, was delivered by someone else. I was not familiar with them. But I watched a video, in which prayers were offered for John, and his family! Soon, it seems, John MacArthur will be in the presence of the Savior!

    Speaking of California. We have been bamboozled once again. So, in 2020, it was ok to loot, riot, and burn. But when Americans went and stood with Trump, peacefully, that was called an insurrection. Once again, they were trying to pull that same stunt. But as we see from this image, the riots in Los Angeles are anything but peaceful. It is clear, that the Mayor and the Governor, have lost control of the once great city of Los Angeles. People have begun calling for them to change the location of the Olympics! Pray for Los Angeles. God bless America!

  • I Slept On the Farm Last Night

    After we ate at Dairy Queen, my Dad wanted to go to Nana’s to mow the lawn. So, we drove to her house, and her husband Harold was out working on the lawn mower. Its a riding lawn mower. My Dad got it started, and began mowing the front yard. Then he mowed the back yard. Nana got us some Rockie Road ice cream. My Dad began weed eating. He tried to cut some milkweeds. But instead, he asked me to get gloves and pull the milkweeds up. They were in the front and the back. I pulled up as many as I could. It was 100 degrees outside, Nana said. I pulled up as many milk weeds as I could. By the time I got done, I was pretty exhausted.

    My Dad finished weed eating the back yard. Nana came out, and said “Harold wants to get some hamburgers”. At first, Dad and me didn’t want to eat. But Nana convinced us we should eat a hamburger. So, Harold went off to get the hamburgers. They ended up being delicious hamburgers. Mine just had ketchup and meat on it.

    After that, we got back into Dad’s car and headed to the farm. At first I didn’t really care to be on the farm. I pictured pulling more milk weeds. No,; thats not what happened. On the farm, Dad has two riding lawn mowers. So, he put me on a riding lawn mower. That was so much fun. Dad made a dirt bike trail at the farm, and so I just followed that on the mower. I found a nice spot where I could build a cabin. Its along the trail. Anyways, I must have circled the trail about a half dozen times. I thought I was done.

    Dad had me get on the other riding lawn mower. So, I kept riding, and enjoying the now much cooler weather. The temperature was now 82 degrees out, instead of 100 degrees. My Dad used the flashlight, to show me spider eyes. I found one, just sitting on the ground. But there were others hanging in trees. I also saw lightning bugs.

    By the time the sun went down, I could see the stars. Including the Big Dipper. I went and smoked under the roof, built for the camper, and looked out over the stars. We also so far works across the lake, and lightning in several places that night. Several storms were going on, but they were going around the farm. Nevertheless, it got cloudy.

    After Dad started to settle in, he showed me the coffee maker. We needed an extension cord to plug the coffee maker/toaster oven into an outlet. So, we went back outside, and into the trailer where Dad said a couple of extension cords were. Extension cord in hand, we went back to the camper, and plugged the coffee maker in so it would have power. Then, we found filters and coffee too and prepared the coffee for the coffee maker. In about five minutes, we brewed two cups of coffee.

    Dad didn’t want any coffee, so I had two cups of coffee to myself. I continued to sit outside, behind the camper, in my seat I got from Goodwill, and watched the stars. Clouds kept blanketing out the stars, but in the end, they continued to beam in the night sky while i sipped coffee, and smoked. It was a very soothing experience, and I am glad my Dad took me with him. In the morning we had to pack up, and head back to Arlington because it started storming.
