Please pray for little June-Bug as she deals with her brain cancer treatments.

Good morning and welcome to the countdown to Halloween. Not really. I just thought that was a good opening since we do have that date coming up this week. It is Monday, October 26, 2020, and I do offer up a very warm welcome to all those who stop by today. Nothing gets to us quicker than a child fighting a life-threatening illness. The little girl in the photo is June or June-Bug as she is called. The photo is of her and her brother. She has brain cancer. It is very serious. She will be coming off her intense radiation treatments in the next two weeks. After that, she starts her chemo. She is the granddaughter of some folks we used to serve with as part of our Church many years ago. In fact, we watched June's dad play around as a lad. June-Bug has been inspirational throughout her challenging treatment regimen. She has a lot of prayer warriors lifting her up each day. The t-shirts are a part of letting her know how much folks care. The radiation has been tough at times and she, as any of us can imagine, has become weary along the way. Please join us in whispering June-Bug's name as she needs God's provision and help in the coming days. And, for her family, her parents, Robby and Shana, and for her grandparents, Robert and Bambi. 

I've had quite a lot to say throughout this political madness time we are living in. There are times when something just slaps you in the face like a cup of ice water. The woman running to become the next vice president of our nation has been lampooning President Trump for the separation of families as part of the processing of those attempting to enter our country illegally. She says this is a violation of their inherent right as a human being. Yet, she, her running mate, and as the policy of the party they represent, believe in and support the most radical abortion platform ever written. She sees separation at the border as a violation of a child's human rights but has no problem in allowing a baby to die even after it is born alive as part of their abortion protocol. This policy should even cause the pro-choice crowd to pause and consider the meaning of this heinously contradictive position. And, just so you know, many of the most severe policies involved in our immigration system were initiated and implemented during the Obama administration. Okay. I had that on my mind and that's why I shared it. Nothing more than that.

I'll not have a tantrum here, but, I do ask a simple question, where are the low 50's and high 40's promised to start our days this week? I even watched the entirety of the Polar Express movie along with some videos of special trains clearing snow off the tracks. I woke up early this morning, grabbed a long-sleeve shirt out of the closet, and when Mr. Bentley and I went outside I had the big reveal, "Hey, what's going on here?" Mr. weather-guy, you said it would be a 'real' cold front, but, 68 balmy degrees, (a 20-degree miss), will not, and, I am unanimous in this sentiment, will not get the job done! I was even telling people about this coming cool down. I know. There was this unexpected inverted Bermuda triangle effect that created havoc in all the models, or, some such nonsensical explanation. Y'all do know that I am not really that ticked off. Right? Missing the forecast is not something that really bothers me that much, ....that much, .....that much, ..... that much! Just a wee tiny bit. That's all. Y'all stay warm out there today and may God add His blessings. Amen. .....More later.
