Dog Food, Again.

Dog Food, Again.

 

The dogs are going to have to endure the stuff from cans for a few days. Someone who cooks for them is pretty much too tired to spend time cooking right now. It’s a good thing they like this stuff out of the can, huh.

 

Spread grass seed over some of the east lot and around each side as long as the hopper stayed full enough to throw the seed every which way. Whoever invented these pull-behind spreaders did a good job of knowing how to adjust how much would come out. NOT that the silly ol’ woman managed to get the little holes totally covered when the seed was first poured inside. Oh well.

 

It's cloudy out and about. Looks as if we might get some rain in a few days. Of course, this IS Texas. We might get six swift sprinkles over six days or six inches over sixty minutes. But all the weather reports make out like Texas can take a nice break from this drought we have been enjoying! The temperatures could go down, at least. Today was a bit warm at 96 or 92, depending on which gauge we looked at first or last. Glad that life in Texas does not center totally on the temperature.

 

European countries right now are on high alert for terrorists. Sad to say, they are having their own problems with those who want to immigrate to their countries. In Germany: “As he points out, the German government has an obligation to "ensure the functioning of our society", and this also includes "a certain severity".

- One must have the strength to tell people that unfortunately they cannot stay here - says Scholz.

- It is neither humanitarian nor progressive if we are dealing with unregulated mass migration, where people risk their health and life - he adds.

Can anyone hear echoes of what Texas’ Governor Abbott has been saying?

 

Ok, it is difficult to say that we care about people when they come across our borders with the intent to establish their own way of life in this country. IF they wanted to become citizens of the U.S. and live under its laws, it would need to begin by entering the country legally. Yes, that is what is on my mind tonight. The world is totally in an uproar, and it is unlikely that the roaring will ever cease—at least not in my lifetime.

 

For those who went through the Depression, WWII, the Korean War, the Vietnam war—any of those who remember what they read from history can easily see that the world has become a totally different place. My brother says they still have a First Baptist church close by. And he knows the folks of the church they had been attending before he became so ill were some of the best folks around. But increasingly, we find kind people are fewer and farther apart. Maybe our greatest concern should truly be the question of faith. Will He find faith when He returns? That is our job for now: learning to be faithful to God’s Word.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
