Today's Activities

Hope you all had a wonderful Sunday afternoon. We finally got laundry done after it got bumped twice because of bad weather. We have to walk across the parking lot to the laundry room and the parking lot was partially flooded.  This morning it was cleared up enough that I could get the laundry done.

For our Sunday lunch, we had ham, white mashed potatoes, and sweet potatoes, corn, dressing and cranberry sauce. That is my daughter's favorite so it was added. I got her a cute stuffed rabbit with a Hershey Chocolate bar.  She loved it. Of course, no Easter is complete without Cadbury Eggs. I remember when they came out and I still like them. My favorite is the caramel. My daughter prefers the original. Now we also have Reese's eggs which aren't really that special when you think about. It's just the same peanut butter and chocolate cup-shaped into an egg.

Over the last couple of years, I have done a lot of research on these holidays and why we really celebrate them.  What I have found blew my mind. Nothing is what we have been told. I will share that later. As a response, I have trimmed down how much we actually celebrate these holidays.  For Christmas last year, we each got three items. In memory of the three gifts which Christ received after his birth. I have done the same for Easter and Valentine's Day.

Wednesday I will be posting the pics of the jars on my facebook. I will share the link with you all in hopes that someone knows the history of the design of the jars.

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
