                Good cool morning to all.

                Yesterday I did very little work, but I removed the Poopa-Loopa from the back 40. I did also do some bible study work. I also started reading a story that I had written several years ago. I do not think anyone other than me has ever read the story and when I read it, I am impressed that I had written it.

                I did get a text from the body shop saying they had started the repair on our vehicle. They told me when I dropped the Fords new Chevy off that they would not accept cash as payment. I thought that cash was "legal tender for all debts public and private".

                Different topic: in the olden days my father would watch wrestling on the TV, and he seemed to enjoy it. Last night I decided to watch some wrestling since there wasn't anything else I wanted to watch. It took only a few minutes for me to see that this so-called wrestling was fake. They appeared to have each move planned. I personally will not waste my time watching.

 

                Comment from me about the Bible.

                In the bible we see in John 1:1 "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God." Then John 1:2 goes on to say, "He was in the beginning with God". In that passage many believe "Word" is referring to Jesus.

                Many see this as indicating that God and Jesus were two individuals and were together at the beginning of the earth when all things were put on or in the earth. There can be different views of that statement. Consider this possible view, God is a spirit, Jesus is a human placed on the earth by God with Gods spirit in him. If that is true, the spirit within Jesus was a part of God during the creation.

                Allow me to comment. "In the beginning was the word". Now in reviewing this portion of the statement, one may understand the term "Word" as meaning data, and if that was correct the following statement could also be correct.

                "In the beginning was the data, and the data was with God, and the data was God."

                Anyone who believes in God will believe God has all knowledge and can do all things.   Is it possible, God may be a spirit and not have a physical form.

There are comments in the bible where humans hear from God but do not see him and that may be due to him being a spirit. Humans have seen the angels that God has sent, which may be to provide a physical being to help a human to pay more attention.

Humans have physical bodies and I believe we have a spirit inside us.

                As you can see, I think about things from the Bible and have questions.

Well, I should stop for now and let you get started on your day. Please stay safe in all you do and be nice to someone.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

                It is a good rainy good morning.

                Last night as I was laying in bed I was considering something that I had written in the past. The subject was a comment from the bible, and I have looked at it differently than others do. I hope to do some review from the bible today to see if I can learn more about the subject. I might enlighten the reading public on the subject at a later time.

                I did take the Fords new Chevy to the repair shop yesterday and it will take some time to get it repaired.

                Now that the Fords new Chevy is gone, I will not be able to take my Favorite wife out for lunch or supper. Wow, if I go to a restaurant I will need to eat alone.

                This is a very short post, we hope if you live in this area you have a very wet day as the rain is appreciated, Have a good day and be nice to others as you stay safe in all you do.

                Good morning!

                Yesterday reviewed: there is not a lot to review, we went to the doctor for my favorite wife's annual physical and that went well. We had lunch in Waco, returned home and we sat outside for a while enjoying the quiet neighborhood.

                I am still adjusting to the time change; I did get a little more sleep last night so I may be adjusting to the change.

                I need to take the Fords new Chevy to the body shop this morning. We are not sure how long it will take, which depends on if they can repair or do they need to replace the tailgate.

                I will need to go to the grocery store today, why do ole people need to eat so much.

I have two photos of some of the vegetation in the neighborhood.

                I will stop now and take a break (nap) we hope you have a good day and that we all stay safe in all we do.

            We hope you are having a good morning, all is good here at the Ford Homestead.

            Let's take a look at yesterday: my favorite wife was able to talk me into going to the cracker store for breakfast and it was good. The rest of the day was kind of a do nothing day for me, I removed some small twigs from the front yard, and we did sit outside for a while and I observed about 7 drones flying over making deliveries. I did comment several times about the time change.

            Speaking of the time change, I think it has me messed up as I have no ambition this morning. I woke up earlier than usual and I did lay there in bed awake thinking about things. It is 10:30 as I am just starting on this unexciting note.

            Back to yesterday, we received our supper last night from David. While they were cooking their supper, they made a little more and he and Alex brough the food over to us. That is very nice as I did not need to attempt to microwave anything for my favorite wife. The food was good.

            Today we need to go to the doctor it is my favorite wife's annual checkup.

            The yards need to be mowed and trimmed, and we might get Alex over here one day this week to do the yard work.

            I have a couple of photos for your review. While outside I noticed some things in the sky. The first is "X marks the spot". I am not sure what the second means.

            I guess I should stop for now and get ready to take my favorite wife to the doctor. We hope you have a good day and that we all stay safe in all we do.

                Good morning to you, and some of those others too.

                We had a good day yesterday, even though we did not go to lunch with Dave and family. It was time to leave the house and head for the restaurant when the rain seemed to increase. The wind was blowing hard and the rain was pouring so it was decided that we would stay dry and that meant we would not go to lunch. Our lunch was leftovers from the night before. Wow, poor ole people had leftovers, they did not have to go hungry.

                Early in the afternoon Dave and the family came to our house and they brough Alex's birthday cake with them. We may not have had a fresh lunch, but we did have a very good birthday cake. I have a couple of photos of the birthday young man.

    We see Alex lighting the candles on his cake and later he was required to blow them out. He is a good-looking young man.

                We got to sit around and talk about many topics, and we enjoyed having visitation and new conversations.   

                Today I have no real plans, I do not know if my favorite wife will force me to take her out for lunch today. The time change has occurred, and it seems to get my attention all too often. Every time I look at the clock, I think it is an hour earlier than yesterday.

                Ok, I will stop for now and we hope you have a good day and that we all stay safe in all we do.

Good morning to you and that other person too. It has not started raining even though they have talked about rain for about a week now.

Yesterday: I did not need to take Alex to school so I did not go to get a real cup of coffee, so I stayed at home and I tried to work on my blog. I was having one of those days, you know, when everything seemed to be a little off our not working at all. I did finally get the post done but I did  not do a good job of it.

                Later in the morning I decided to go to the post office and mail the IRS check. Before heading to the Post Office, I did go to the Star coffee place for a cup of real coffee. I took the letter (aka Check) to the post office and sent it in a manner that I will know it safely arrived at the IRS. I have been wondering why I had to pay so much money this year as we had basically the same income as last year. I took the time yesterday to review both this years and last year's Tax forms. I learned that for some reason they withheld about $3,000 less in taxes from our income this year when compared to last year. Now I know why I had to pay more tax this year.

                I did go to the vehicle dealership to get my check, but they did not have it so I wasted my time driving there. They apologized and I told them I did not want to come back, and they will send it to me.

I did stop at the bank on the way home as I had a zip lock bag my favorite wife had given me with some change in it. They put the change in a machine that separates it and counts it. There was a little over $30 in the bag.  

At home my favorite wife and I sat outside, and the neighbor boy came over on his scooter. He likes to slide the back tire on our driveway. I have a photo of his scooter.   

                It was a nice afternoon, but our only visitor was the 6-year-old boy and his scooter from next door. We always enjoy visits from friends and it gives My favorite wife someone to talk with other than me.

Today: we are supposed to have lunch with Alex and family to celebrate his BD. We are hoping it will not rain at lunchtime so we can get to the restaurant without getting soaked.

                The yards need to be mowed but the rain and birthday party will keep us occupied.

                Well, I guess I should stop for now, we hope you have a good day and that we will stay safe in all we do.

The time change is this weekend, don't forget.

                Good morning to all, we have not yet received any of the predicted rain here at the homestead.

Yesterday; I did go to the dealer where we purchased the Ford's new Chevy and I asked where our check was. Without a lot of explanation, they owe us $97.45. They checked in the office and said it would be ready today. Leaving the dealership I did get a couple sandwiches and took them home for our lunch.

                We sat outside for a while yesterday afternoon and the neighborhood was not only quiet, but it also seemed dead. There was no traffic and no usual sounds. I was watching some birds flying as a group thinking how the birds that fly in groups seem to be doing everything at the same time. It is as if they are connected to one brain and they all turn at the same time. There isn't one leader, it is as if they are all of the same mind.

We decided to go out for supper, and the supper was good. When we returned home the neighbor boy was in our driveway on his electric bike. He came to us when we pulled into the drive and asked if we would be sitting outside and we said we would. He likes to slide the back wheel of his bike locking up his brakes on our driveway, and he wanted to use our mower, photo to follow.

Today, I plan to mail the check to the IRS, and I hope to go into Waco and get our check from the dealer. I will stop at our bank and cash the check from the dealer and while I am there, I will give them a bag of change that my favorite wife has and they will give me paper money for the change.

                I guess I should stop for now and either take a shower or take a nap. We hope you have a good day and that we all stay safe in all we do.
