IT NEVER ENDS

https://nyti.ms/2hJAyhQ
I am so furious at that part of this country that shrugs off these constant massacres, that just digs in its heels even deeper and says "They're not takin' my guns!", that says the 2nd Amendment is absolute, that lets each one of these slaughters be an infomercial to go BUY, BUY, BUY!  The "weapons of mass destruction" were not in Iraq.  They're right here in America.  And they are out to get us.  It could be any one of us next time.  You, me, our sons, our daughters, our moms, dads, too many loved ones to count.  Just like Abel's blood, the blood of all of these victims is screaming out from the ground.  The little ones of Sandy Hook whose Christmas ornaments were still drying on the windowsills, Virginia Tech, The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, CO, the Charleston, SC church, Pulse in Orlando, FL, Las Vegas, and how many more?  Their blood cries out to deaf ears.


Instead it's just "I'm sorry for your loss," "My thoughts and prayers are with the families," "May God bless you," "Sending deepest sympathies".........


JUST STOP.  No more.  No more counterfeit prayers which are really saying "Sucks for you but we're not doing a damn thing."  If you really want to bless them, answer the cries of the blood crying out from the ground.  Take action as if it were your son, daughter, mom, dad, loved one, friend - Even You.  Because who is to say that next time it couldn't be?

Day 22 - Beck Diet Solution, Say “Oh Well” To Disappointment

Inigo Montoya: Who are you? Man in Black: No one of consequence. Inigo Montoya: I must know... Man in Black: Get used  to disappointment. Inigo Montoya: 'kay. The Princess Bride (20th Century Fox 1987) Just as Inigo shrugs off the disappointment of the Man in Black’s declining to reveal his identity and gets right back into the duel, so too must we shrug off those discouragements that go hand-in-hand with losing weight and keep truckin’ down the weight loss trail.   It’ll go easier for us if we do.  What if we just lay around bellyaching about how horrible it is that we can’t have that donut, can’t eat/drink exactly what everybody else does at parties, can’t just open the fridge and eat whenever we felt like it?  How much would we really accomplish that way?  Even if we do stick to our plans for a little while under that mindset, we’d be fighting an exhausting battle with ourselves every day and eventually give in.  Even the patience and resolve of saints would

Hayride at Jersey Farm

The beginning of the first fall we have seen in four years. This time of year also makes me think of Joni Mitchell's song, "Urge for Going": I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town It hovered in a frozen sky, then it gobbled summer down When the sun turns traitor cold And all trees are shivering in a naked row I get the urge for going but I never seem to go I get the urge for going When the meadow grass is turning brown Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in I had me a man in summertime He had summer-colored skin And not another girl in town My darling's heart could win But when the leaves fell on the ground And bully winds came around pushed them face down in the snow He got the urge for going and I had to let him go He got the urge for going When the meadow grass was turning brown And summertime was falling down and winter was closing in Now the warriors of winter they gave a cold triumphant shout And all that s

he was just a simple Hoosier growing up amid the cornfields where everything made sense he loved the family cats and dogs in one picture he's looking down at his sweet dog while the others, unsmiling face the camera he would play ball all day sometimes Uncle Boob gave him his first fishing pole he'd sometimes leave a line floating while he went to church later he would discover golf read the whole Bible he didn't miss the snow when they came to Florida his life was simple a room full of books job on the golf course people lived and died there for the love of their game two weeks vacation every year when he'd do another golf and fish adventure then I came along never the woman he deserved watched his mom wished I could be like her beauty and kindness personified she did her duty to God her mind was to leave us before her body as it would be with her son never perfect but so full of love never to die in the middle of h
