Sabbath Day Ramblings December 12, 2021

[Ole Joe Clark]

Good Morning,

It's a beautiful, quite, somewhat melancholy Sabbath day here. Hearts are still heavy because of all the tornado deaths and destruction on Friday night and Saturday morning. We had no storm damage in our location, but lots of people are hurting from it.

Please continue to pray for all the folks that were injured, homes damaged or destroyed. Some lost everything. It reminds me constantly how fragile life is, and that none of us have the promise of another heartbeat, much less another day.

If you are a storm victim/survivor, don't give up, just keep holding on. Put your arms around a loved one and share a hug and a prayer, it will make you feel better. There's an old gospel song that talks about "one day at a time", but in this case, it's ok to do "one hour at a time." Just don't give up. We will get through this together.

Remember that people are under tremendous stress, so choose your words and actions wisely. God bless you all.

Enough!

Have a blessed day in spite of storms!!

Leon

Remember to count your blessings every day.
A blessing isn't necessarily something good happening. It can be something BAD not happening.
There but for the grace of God go I.

Ruthie sent me these pictures from work. A Secret Santa gave her these. She looked them up on Cheryl's website. $178.00.

She needs to clock out early. I'm pacing.

Right back at you, gentlemen.

Today the wife and I are going to her daughters home to meet with family & friends for something to eat and have the yearly...........
"White Elephant" gift swap, drawing numbers out of a hat for the gifts.

The gifts go from movie tickes and good stuff all the way to gag stuff
that make you laugh & cry.

Happy holidays.

Good Sabbath Leon,

When the tornadoes hit Jacksonville, Alabama in 2018, both of our sons' homes were hit and severely damaged. Samaritan's Purse arrived almost immediately and had a wonderful presence doing great work. We support Samaritan's Purse and encourage others to support their efforts.

Our prayers are with those affected by this weekend's storms.

I came in third place in our old timers, 100 yard, rimfire match. Full disclosure, only three shooters showed-up, because of the weather. LOL

This was my best cheap ammo group (below) of the year.

Here are some pics from our morning walks. Weird weather this week!

We finished the tree!

I hope you all have a great week!

I never met a pastry I didn't like.

Just like beer, there are no bad pastries. Some just taste better than others.

Your lake looks like it could be full of bass. I could tease the best of them with a floating rapala back in the day. Great photos, as usual.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

We donated to Samaritans' Purse this year. A friend of ours ramrods their church's shoebox ministry. They did well over 300.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Good sabbath Leon.

I appreciate you helping those of us far away from the tornado tragedy feel the tragedy your area has suffered.

For many of us, it's out of sight so out of mind.

 

[Golddollar]

Leon, you have such fine words of encouragement.

Thank you everybody for your likes and kind words. In the grand scheme of things maybe a roll of Golden Dollars isn't earth shattering but it definitely meant a lot to the server I gave them to who will be out of a job tomorrow.

It's a bright, sunny day here in southcentral PA. My uncle and I did our daily text messages so we're all good for another day. I'll probably work on the Commission meeting minutes from our meeting on Thursday. I am the Secretary and I am happy that I can give something back to my community.

Plenty of football to watch today. The Browns are on right now and I'm hoping they can keep up in the playoff race. Everybody enjoy the day.

We have many blessings on this Sunday. The weather is changing frequently, temp. was 39 a while ago. Big Oak log in the stove, the tree is beautiful. PTL! Have a great Sunday.

Leon I read your post most Sundays. Todays really brought me back to ground.I prayed for the people that were involved with the storms impact. God Bless
