New Addition

As I type this we are awaiting a new addition to our family.

We will go from two people and a beautiful little Pomeranian. After this evening we will be all that and plus a cat. Yes. I am finally letting Antonia have a cat which she has been begging for years to have. She has shown me that she is responsible enough to have a cat and a dog.

Antonia has grown so much over the last five years. It amazes me to see how strong she can be. Back in the summer, she knew that she wasn't ready for driving, and she let me know. She is excellent at advocating for herself.  At the end of the month, she will be going back to a regular school.

I know she can handle it. She has been through her grandmother passing, her father chose to be a full-time abusive alcoholic, and us being homeless. To escape being stalked constantly. Yes, she has been through a great deal.

Over Christmas Break, I passed to her a Purple Heart which my late father gave to me when I was the same age as her. She is far stronger at 15 than I was. She is ready for the responsibility of two pets. I can't believe she will be 16 on Feb 4.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
