Hesitant Steps.

 Hesitant Steps.

 

Another day that the old woman should probably not be on the computer. Talk about gripey! The spasms have not gone away by a long shot. They just pick strange times to hit the joints and the legs. Dadgumit! Like Patty says, “At least we have enough breath to b*tch!”

 

For the past two days, FB has been inaccessible to me. Jenn could get on my account, but my computer or my stupidity prevented me from getting on. Not that it is all that important, but the posts that would normally go on FB are posted on Mesquite Country. Can’t really put a link here, but it is just a blogger site.

 

It is supposed to get down to 29 degrees this Sunday, so maybe we will see some frost again. That kind of weather makes the dogs want to play and the cattle kick up their heels in the pastures. Not miserable cold, but just enough cold to make things feel totally different.

 

Have finally learned enough about using the new TV that it has been enjoyable to watch “Death in Paradise.” Had seen the first version years ago, but now the new inspector has taken over and things just get more interesting. Can’t imagine how it would be to live on an island where everything you eat or wear has to be brought in by boat. Well, folks in Alaska probably know how that feels, come to think of it.

 

Patty was going over the latest elections and the passing of the amendments to the Texas constitution. Lance was fussing about the amendment that called for the schools to be financed by the state rather than by the districts. He seemed to think that would only work as long as Texas has a surplus of funds. But it seems to me that the poorer districts will need all the help that they can get rather than depending on their tax bases. It simply is never going to be possible to provide true equity as long as things like libraries and hospitals are not available in every area. If it were possible to prevent fraud in funding, each county would be better off. But at least Ft. Worth has discovered that malfeasance happens no matter how much money is involved. So sad.

 

You know, politics are just a matter of trying to get folks to get along and help each other out. Even God put the Levites in charge of taking care of widows and orphans, but what men can do to mess up order just keeps expanding as populations grow. We can praise God that some folks are genuinely ready to help others so that they don’t need to go hungry or freeze to death in winter. Of all the soup kitchens and pantries, each area is blessed with a kind-hearted soul who is willing to be there for others. For this, we should all praise God. It is HIS love that blesses us through others.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
