Happy Wednesday Everyone

We are having a heat wave today. The weather man said is was 48 this morning when I got up. I tried to watch the news but it was full of bad news and I wanted to start my day out on a positive note so I switched back to the weather channel. Not to dwell on the bad news, but what makes an actor so special that they take top billing over other things that happen in the world. Not to take anything away from them but they are a human being just like the rest of us. I am sure thousands of people died yesterday. Any accidental death is tragic in my book. It's funny how 48 feels so nice after a few days in the 20's. We got more rain this morning too so we are above normal on Wadmalaw Island. No drought here.

I really love the rain. It is so cleansing. And speaking of cleansing, I finished book #1. Yea me. Ok I know I am a slow reader. I enjoyed Genesis although there was a lot of violence and adult content. On to Exodus. Sorry no fishing today. You know you can't fish in the rain. :) Wow I rambled this morning. Sorry

Have a great day,
Greg

I love your ramblings. Send some heat down here in Texas. It's 32 degrees after lunch.

I'm cheering you on with your reading. Keep it up no matter what the pace. In the past I have picked only one verse to meditate on all day.

Take care,

I agree with Angie...I love your ramblings. Like sitting across the table chatting.

Yes, Genises is a heavy book...but wait until you get to walk for 4o years in the desert...!!!

I'm very proud of your reading schedule..you're an inspiration...so keep those ramblings coming...I wait every day for them.

LOL :)

I love your ramblings too! You write in a very readable way-- which is what my English teacher once told me!

I'm just up to Genesis 20. The Old Testament can be quite daunting. Genesis and Exodus are not too bad, but then you get to Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy! Most Christians don't know too much about those books but there are some real golden nuggets in them.

Came here via Wanda. I think I'm following her around. I find the blogs she likes, I like.

Ramble on Greg! My friend Ann told me this weekend to
"chew and chew" on small bits at a time to really get everything out of them. I love that. So, happy chewing! There is actually a verse in Nehemiah about eating God's word. Enjoy the feast!

Hello there, I just began reading but I had to say I agree with you on this one. Thousands died yesterday. I guess people are so interested because he was a well-like actor (I think). I've only seen one movie with him in it, but I guess people thrive on controversy.

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Image
Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The

My plans have changed.

Image
Well I had plans on working all weekend but those plans were changed for me on Friday afternoon. About 5 minutes before I left work on Friday, my boss called me to tell me that they wouldn’t be needing my services all weekend. It seems that my schedule was so good that it could stand on its’ own. So there went 20 hours of overtime that I had planned on. And all those plans that my family made around my overtime were also changed. When I got home on Friday, I found out that the riding mower had quit working. How bad could it be I thought. 10, 20, 30 dollars to fix? Well we are talking $300.00 just for the parts. But at least I have the ability to do it myself. I am sure it would be around $500.00 to take it in somewhere. And the sad part is I could buy a new one for about $900.00. But wait, I just found someone selling the part I need on Craigslist for $40.00. Keep your fingers crossed for me please. Saturday, I went to the market since I wasn’t working at my regular job (as planned).
