Today, 11/13/17, also signifies a passage from Deuteronomy which is as follows,
13 So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul— 14 then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. 15 I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.
16 Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them. 17 Then the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and he will shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the Lord is giving you.
Now you can interpret this as you want but it basically means there’s only one true God. I won’t go into this but if you’re interested, it’s easy to read more, just pick up a bible!
Today we also have air pollution so bad in New Delhi that flights have been cancelled, an outbreak of Legionaries disease in California and a school in Florida that is selling bullet proof panels for kids to put in to their backpacks. What a World. I’m sure there’s some good news but the news rarely shows that, ha. I can’t get away from the thoughts of a simpler life as I keep finding old photographs and memorabilia in Mom’s house that seem to indicate a much happier time. I do know that even 50 or 100 years ago, they had their own challenges but most of those were due to the times and not self induced as they are these days. Recently, every night I end up dreaming about when I was a kid or when my parents or grandparents were kids after spending hours looking through old stuff from the family. Guess that’s what happens when you conjure up old memories from things you find that you haven’t seen or thought of for 40 or 50 years. I did find my Lowa hiking boots I had resoled 4 times and basically lived in during high school. They still look like they have a few years left in them but they’re size 11 1/2 and I’m now a 12!
Today Lori has a colonoscopy, not really fun but something everyone should do. Both boys have lots of work and so do I. Later in the week I’ll be in Denver helping Tom get ready for Derek and the movers. Looks like rain, snow and wind on Friday when they’re supposed to come, figures, ha.
It’s 11 days until Thanksgiving and then the holiday season will be here in full force. Around here both boys have been playing Christmas music for a good month as they can’t get enough of it. I have a few trips to take and am out of town the 2 or 3 weeks after Thanksgiving before being done for the year. I hate traveling this time of year as it’s so crowded, but you do what you have to do.
Time to run and get the boys up. Have a great week, take care, be safe and God Bless.
