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,
A

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 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

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...

The legend of Flat Stanley (A Horror Story)

Image
There are a few things in life that upset me: Spiders, rude people, unruly children and spilling my coffee to name a few. But nothing gets my blood boiling faster than hearing the name Flat Stanley. On the surface, Stanley sounds like something innocent, but I am here to tell you that he is evil and has the power to tear your family apart. Flat Stanley was the brain child Dale Hubert, a third grade teacher from Ontario Canada. Back in 1995, he decided to start this project to inflict pain on unsuspecting parents and students as well. The concept is simple: You take a picture of Flat Stanley and decorate it. Then you cut it out and there you have it….Flat Stanley. Then you send it to other people and they take stupid photos of them with Stanley or you take him on vacation with you in order to ruin your vacation and Dale should be shot or better yet put in a pot of boiling oil and slowly fried and tortured and and and Ha Ha….Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….Whahahahahahahahaha Sorry this happens every ti...
