In the cool of the morning, after a day and evening of soft rain, sitting on the porch in under 70 degree weather, on August 27th, it is hard to say this is Summer. Yesterday the high temp here was only 71. Today we might see 82, but for now, 70. ahhhh. nice Summer.
Ol’ Johnny Cash came shuffling into and out of my head this morning with a song of his I can’t remember hearing when it would have been popular called “I Won’t Back Down.” Well, if a purpose is worthwhile never back down. If it isn’t worthwhile don’t enter into it in the first place, right? Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne wrote this song and Johnny, along with many others including Pearl Jam covered it. Good principles, Tom and Jeff. They wrote this in 1989, 12 years before 9-11, which caused it to get a lot more plays and a variety of artists recorded it.
This will be a short blog, today. I’m still trying to get my week unfolded. Yesterday, though cool, was a very quiet day for accomplishing anything. Last night’s bible class went well except that on Zoom, the live broadcast was ok, but I forgot to record the first 34 minutes of it. So, those who hunt it on YouTube will only get the second half. But, I did manage to get the FaceBook video to be right side up! That’s an accomplishment, I guess. Anyway, I don’t think this will be a very long rant.
Found out that a friend in years past, who had been living in the Philippines for a dozen or so years, has passed away. I’m so sorry his life ended so young (about 50). He leaves four very fine children who are blossoming in their adulthood, his legacy, I suppose. Mark had a good testimony of when he trusted the Lord Jesus Christ and there he will spend eternity. Amen, Mark, Amen.
Looks like the opening date for the new Blue Jug Alkaline Water & Health Market will be about mid-September (16th, or so.) As it stands right now, I’m planning a trip out there—Greenville, TX!
While this short blog starts the second year of writing for me, I’ve been somewhat inconsistent in the past few months which has to change. I’ve decided that from here on I will do 3 blogs per week, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. There’ll probably be exceptions, but that will be my plan. Hope you can abide them. (It takes planning to be that kind of regular, but I believe I can disciple myself into it.) I will also be changing the headliner photo. Buddy has now been gone about 5 months, we’ll put a new picture up in a couple of days.
Thanks for reading, the Elder
