"Cool Un-calm And Flustered"
We are having a real cool day here in Perryton. It seems like fall is just around the corner. Not happy about that, but I guess I have to accept whatever comes my way. I probably have posted for the last time this year pictures of my flowers. The mums and daisy’s will survive for quite some time longer than the other flowers. They look very healthy. I will have lots of pulling up old dead stems and some large zinnia stalks in a few days. Some plants will come back next spring such as roses, and a few other perennials. I don’t bother them. It all amounts to a lot of work, however. This hard work is what keeps me young and healthy. Its more fun than riding bicycles or lifting weights.
Other than watching TV today I have done nothing but wash a few dishes and make a pot of chili. These kinds of days can get very boring. I am so thankful for my computer which I stay on a lot every day. Face book keeps me informed of what my family and friends are doing. That is a real blessing to me. Then I read lots of news on there that never appears on TV. The affordable, unlimited, telephone calls is another great advantage we didn’t use to have. Technology is becoming more like magic every day. It almost scares me to think what it will be like a year from now. Will we ever have any privacy again? Or will we ever be self contained as far as making it work? I think I will never be good at reading the minds of technology genius. They use their least amount of descriptive devices that they possible can to teach us. The aim is to make genius out of all of us. Work, work, and keep working on mastering the technology system. Patience is the most costly piece of art the brain has to sale. I don’t buy that, OK? If I can’t get it free, I will do without. I know this puts me in the Lazy Susan dish, but I would rather look appetizing than be brain washed. I prefer to have someone else do my complicated work. However, I do appreciate all the help I can get.
My TV has already been off for two hours, and it’s a long time before bedtime. After many attempts to reach the company, I finally got a recording saying there was a problem in the Texas area, but no approximate time to be fixed. The last time it went off was last week. It was off for two days. Do I need to ask for patience or a fighting spirit? I have checked with other people using different TV companies and they seem to have the same problems. Does anyone have the answer to this problem other than patience? It will get better I’m sure. I can survive.
God Bless

Jean's Comment's: "When The Flowers Are Gone What Then"

"When The Flowers Are Gone What Then"
One more day left in September, and I will be seeing less and less of my flowers. They have been quite a blessing to me all summer long. I will have to find another place of interest for the long winter months ahead. I am hoping to get back to my painting, but it takes a special brain power to do that. My brain seems to have been washed by all the political up and downs for the past year. I can hardly leave the TV long enough to go out and get some fresh air and sunshine, as much as I love that too. Hopefully after one more month and a few days I can get myself back to normal.
I managed to get some business taken care of today, and even made chicken and home-made egg noodles. I have been eating sandwiches for several days since I have been gone from home. I had to remember to cook again. Chuck is good at reminding me by bringing in meat and other stuff to fix. If it weren’t for him I’m sure I wouldn’t cook at all even though I have always loved to. I am not a lover of restaurant food, and choose not to eat there much. Our church serves a wonderful dinner once a month, and a lovely luncheon also once a month, but I have been missing out on that for several months due to unavoidable reasons. I have a lot of “getting back to normal” to do. It will take a lot of effort for me to succeed.
I have never gotten away from my prayer and bible study each night before I go to bed. That is what I enjoy more than anything else. I learn something new every time I read a chapter in the bible, even though I have read it many times before. I believe God intended for the brain to work that way. I call it, “Bible Physiology.” A continuous study of the bible with the best of all physiologist in earth or in heaven. I’m standing true to that belief, and I hardly ever feel defeated by Satan. Oh! The joy that the creator of all mankind and heaven and earth can give if one will just believe. It is not seasonable like my flowers. It is everlasting forever and ever. However, if I miss very many nights of Prayer and Bible study, like when I am away from home, then my joy will start to turn to worry. Its like food for our bodies. We must eat from the word of God or we famish away spiritually. I love that spiritual food for it taste so good. I gain strength and vitality that natural food cannot supply alone. I feel more equipped to help others with their problems when I am full of spiritual food. God knows, and expects us to know, and do something to help Him help his little children. How little can He ask of us in exchange for so much He has done for us. “Here am I Lord.”

Jean's Comment's: "Sisterly Love is A God Sent"

"Sisterly Love is A God Sent"
Here I am back home after a pleasant trip to visit two of my sisters in Oklahoma City. The trip was enjoyable after I got there, but on the way down I drove through a terrible flood for about twenty-five miles. It was very scary because some of the time I couldn’t see a white line at all on the highway. Trucks were whizzing past me constantly because I was driving slowly. I couldn’t see how to get off the highway so I kept on driving. My silent partner kept telling me to have faith and everything would be OK. When I finally got to I-35 where I turned off to go to Norman the rain had stopped, but I came upon a traffic jam where the cars were almost stopped for miles. After a lengthy period of start, stop, I saw a wreck and when I got waved through that it was much better. Then a litter farther down the road I came upon construction, and again I was slowed down for quite awhile. When I finally got to the motel in Norman my sisters were waiting for me and we checked into the room and relaxed for awhile. I was too tired to go out and do much so I mostly rested the rest of the evening.
The next day we began to laugh and get involved in our old time kidding each other. We went for breakfast then played the slots for awhile. That night, Monday, was the presidential candidate debate and I was determined to stay rested up for that. I can say I had a great time and came home rested and refreshed. I thank God for His mighty protecting hand. I believe He knew I needed to get away, and made sure I was treated with tender, loving care. I also thank my sisters and a niece for treating me so nice. If it would have been possible I would have stayed longer, but I had to get back to business.
About the debate I believe Donald Trump made Hillary Clinton look even more non-presidential than she already looked. She is totally unfit to be our president. This next month and few days is going to be very exciting. The time will tell if our great God has given us another chance to repent and turn from our wicked ways; or if He has made up His mind that we are not ever going to be worthy of his blessings again. I have to believe he is going to be merciful to us. We have the candidate who can make our country great again, but whether God will allow it to happen or not remains to be seen. It does seem like the greatest kind of evil has been unleashed upon us. The only hope is if God will stop the corrupt government we now have, and let a good, honest, American-loving man named Donald Trump take the reins of leading America to victory. I don’t think its over yet.
God Bless
