Isaiah 45:6-7 NIV ~ "6) ...so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other. 7) I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things."

Bentley wonders about me as well. 

Hello folks, good afternoon, and welcome to my blog where I decided to pay a visit myself on this day, Thursday, June 17, 2021. I have recently visited a podiatrist who gave me some medication for what we believe to be diabetic neuropathy in my toes. I thought I would open with that because when old people get together it doesn't take long before the most recent ailment and subsequent visit to the doctor will come up. At any rate, the medication itself has helped but it does have some side effects. And, before you think we might be soon removing any of my toes, this is very early on stuff, the kind where I have some numbness and some tingling. Thus far, it has not been so much painful as annoying and I am very thankful to have a medical professional who seems to know a lot about how to treat it. In case you were wondering, the side effects have not improved my thinking abilities. While that would be really great, not this time. I did catch the video of President Biden going off on the lady reporter. I was impressed that he good show such an angry spirit about him. I couldn't help but wonder how it would have been for a republican president to have called out a female reporter, pointing his finger directly at her, and, essentially telling her she didn't really have a clue as to what she was talking about. I'm not a betting person but I would put give high odds on what the mainstream response would have been. Hold the presses, this just in: Biden apologizes for being such a wise guy in his response to the reporter. All is well. And, shouldn't he have said, wise person? Just thinking out loud or maybe it is the side effects.

"Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it."― Ronald Reagan ~ I'm sorry but I couldn't resist that one. We should all be happy now. The world once again likes America now that we have shown up and made it clear that nonsense like all countries paying their way is over. Wow! Even polls are showing we are better liked again. Yay for us! Right? I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure I felt more comfortable when they didn't like us so much but for the right reasons. I think when we have the world on our side, we had better be very careful. Careful indeed! But then again, what do I know? I'm the fellow who probably can't touch his toes but right now I am just trying to get in touch with them. (For those who are having trouble following me, it has to do with the numbness issue.) No. The side effects have nothing to do with me becoming a comedian. What's that? I really didn't need to make that clarification. Thanks for letting me know.

Great-Grand Ava, a breath of fresh air!

Okay. Good to have you folks in for a few minutes of forth and back visiting. I will see how things go over the next few days. You know. I will see if I can stay on my toes. Forget about it. May God add His blessings. Amen. ....More later.
