With all the hype going on, it was nice to see a succinct review of the science from a medical professional who did his homework. That review is in the link below and it is worth watching.
I am demonstrable old-fashioned, willing to let everyone
live their life in peace while I live mine in peace, but it is time to speak
out clearly against the wrongs being foisted on us and take whatever shunning
and rebuke we get for voicing the truth. I have no real idea what those in power
are seeking to accomplish but it does not take a PhD to see that the outcomes
from reckless overspending, an open border and horribly diminished individual rights
will quickly produce a society where we are rules as opposed to governed in a
representative republic. I value my freedoms and do not like the thought of
surrendering them for a supposed emergency. It is frustrating to feel so
powerless so I have begun to do what I can – especially to pray for our
country. It is time to stand up and be counted for the Lord, for America, for freedom.
This video gives some great points to speak from so I thought I would share it.
In the midst of our own mini financial crisis, Mama has three
separate medical appointments this week. All are needed appointments so we will
make things work out as far as the finances are concerned. Again, timing is the
issue, but such is life. The most problematic doctor visit is with the surgeon we
are considering for the replacing of her right knee. With the horrible experience
she has had with her left knee, neither of us, especially Mama, are looking
forward to having the other knee replaced, but she is at the point where the
intervention is imperative. The other two appointments are less concerning,
strictly routine. I am supposed to schedule an appointment with the
cardiologist that did the heart cath on me, but I have not done so. Why go to the
doctor, pay the high price of a wellness visit, only to be told to continue
doing what I am doing? Another old-fashioned idea.
Mama and I will probably hold off on the knee surgery until
later in the Fall when the demands of the farm are lessened a bit and we have
had time to plan around the money required on our part to get the surgery done.
It will not be cheap, but that is only a small problem. The larger issue is to
get the surgery done in time for Mama to recover before we make our planned trip
to Honduras, the first full week of February. That timing will allow us to
attend the Come Away Conference with Iglesia Bautista El Faro. It is Mama’s and
my opportunity to serve in a small way in the ministry there.
Maggie came thorough her surgery and was home by the early
afternoon. Her recovery is expected to progress smoothly but there will be
times of pain she will have to deal with as the surgery sites on both of her
wrists heal fully. Fortunately, Kathryn and Walter are both big enough that
they can do much of what is needed for themselves while Maggie recovers. The change
she will discover when her healing is complete will make the discomfort of the surgery
and recovery worth the time it has taken to get this done. At least, that has
been my experience with the carpal tunnel release surgery.
I will be tied up with work activities for the remainder of the
week. Tomorrow and Thursday I will be participating in a review of a new
proposed Instructor Led course we plan to offer. On Friday I will be teaching a
class. Just what I need, another class to deliver. Another week will be gone,
and August will be half over. School will be starting – at least in Texas – and
life will become more complicated for those who have children in school. Summer
is gone once again.
Brittany will begin working at the school at Somerset Bible
Baptist. Zoe and Sophia will be starting kindergarten and Audrey will be attending
by proxy as her mommy works at the school. Life will get busy for all of us, routines
will get established and schedules will be adapted to those routines. Life goes
on.
So, there is some normalcy in the world if we are not too
distracted to see it.
