The excitement around our place has already started. Football is everywhere you look. Even the little guys are giving it their best while they wait for the game to start. Oh, so many memories come back to me every year when football season begins. All three of my boys played football on this same stadium across the street from where I live. Needless to say I have been living here in this house for 49 years. It is my favorites’ spot in the world. I still enjoy the games being played there from first graders to twelfth graders. How I pray that our freedom and culture will never be taken away. “God Bless America.” Charles and I used to have reserved seats in that stadium every year. Such great memories to treasure.
My day has been a good one so far. I’m trying not to overtire myself before leaving on this trip to Oklahoma City. The trip is always tiring for me so I want to save all the energy I can before I start out. I will be enjoying a nice Motel with lots of good food and entertainment all around it. But best of all I will be sharing my good time with two of my sweet sisters. I wish it could have turned into a family reunion, but not this time. I would enjoy having all my large family together again. Still trusting that to happen soon. I am so proud of all of them. “When we all get to Heaven what a day of rejoicing that will be.” One of my favorite old hymns. We never hear it sung any more, but the words are recorded in my heart. I also love to hear, “When the saints go marching in.” These are two of the good old shouting songs.
I hate to spoil my good feeling by switching over to the news about the third night of rioting in Charlotte NC, but I cannot be not concerned about the terrible condition of our country. It is getting worse by the day. No matter how much we may try and deny it, it still is the truth. I stand seemingly helpless, but I am always ready to do anything I can to help our great police and military men and women. My prayers are with them constantly. There are some wonderful, intelligent, and wise people working around the clock to bring back our lost respect for God and morality. I have faith that it will happen, but not until much blood has been shed. Much more than what’s already been. God knows everyone who is guilty of taking sides with His enemies, and He will make them suffer whether it’s intentionally or out of ignorance. We must remember our God is a just God. He makes no mistakes. I feel like it’s already too late for some to change their minds. The damage they have done is un-repairable for some. The consequences must be paid.
God Bless
