My opinon on the election

Sheila Miller Sims asked me what I thought about this election. I told her, for us, everythig has been hard. Both of us work our butts off, do without and don't take vacations. Seems as if, like a lot of others, if we want anything it's a struggle to obtain it. That's no one's fault, just the way it is. But now our security is threatened if Clinton is elected. The democrats can lie, cheat steal and threaten but if their candidate is not elected, they will still be fine. If, however, Clinton is elected, then the other half of us are in dire straits. Our way of life is in jepordy. We pray for life to be easier and for "some" people to have compassion on us. We pray for the corruption to implode on itself. The divide in this country is evident with an impassable gulf between the two halves. Good vs. evil. The current potus has done his job wery well. How is that "change you can believe in" working out?

I noticed that on fb one of my friends Connor Vernon was threatened with an ass whuppin for saying Byonce was a small time tramp. Some guy half his age and professing to be a christian took offense at that. Sorry, but if your wife sticks her butt in the air and you can see the indention in her drawers, she may be a tramp. Then there are peole who party all night and sleep all day on mine and your dime and to me that is truly deplorable. I pray that God will remove the scales from their eyes and the corruption will be evident and repulsive to them as well. I have read the end of the Book and I know who will rule this world for eternity and corruption will have no part in it. Now as to Sheila's question, God is in control and will appoint whom he will. I may not like it, but I will abide by it. We are admonished to pray for our leaders. Right now, I am praying that Hillary will not be it. God bless us, please

New Fence

This is why Sheila and my favorite snack food is extra-strength Anacin.  Back in 1987 a mistake was made on the deeds and in 1993, we installed a fence on what we thought was the property line.  However one point in the middle was left off.  Now to rectify that, we have to move our fence in about four feet almost halfway down the line.  Would have been nice to know that twenty three years ago when we were much younger.  It took us over a week to clear out all the undergrowth.  Now to remove poles and reset them.  I did try to remove a few using a post puller.  The ground is so hard and roots are embedded in them, so I wound up using the backhoe.  I almost blew the front tires by using the front bucket.  I had to turn backhoe around and back up to post, put outriggers down and then pull'em out.  Lot of work for two people who just last Sun. Oct. 23rd, celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary.

Faith

As I lie in the dark
pain circles me like a shark.
From my knees to my hips,
a low groan escapes my lips.
From my groin to my chest
it is impossible to feel my best.
It is hard not to rebel
as my hands and feet swell.
And my poor back,
it is stretched on the rack.
The pain is so bad,
it will made you so mad.
Evil thoughts in my head abound,
in there nothing good is found.
Even in all this, I plea,
Lord please save me,
from the curse of envy and strife.
Return me to a blessed life.
He heard my prayer and with a shout
entered in and ordered all that junk out.
Now my soul is still
as I strive to live his will.
Alas, I know time will tell,
there are other tests I will fail.
But with His being in me
I will always be part of His family tree.
On my own it is impossible,
but with Him  it is possible.
