Check With Me On The 30th

If I don’t get this done and posted today before midnight, it will be September 1, 2026, and I will have to make a new page for September to post it and change the date. Too much work. As Nike says, just do it, (and get it done on time).
While I was doing white lines on my map, with the white lines being the West Covina Shopping Mall, I realized why the latest book I am reading is keeping my interest. I am upset with many of the premises in the book and wonder about Follet/s personal convictions at times. Nevertheless, I am riding on that roller coaster of ups and downs, triumphs and failures, life and death, while watching how Follet interweaves things of today into how people took care of things before electricity and other conveiniences we take for granted today.
There is always a bad man or bad woman someplace in the stories that keep you interest, I seem to remember a descriptive word, “protaginist”, as one of the main characters. I have to admit, I do not remember if that was a good person or bad person, and the start of the word, “pro”, going iwth the ending, “taginist”, makes me want to make it a good person who is bad.
Anyway, the characters in the book that are bad and always trying to tear down instead of building remind me of the people who try to tear down anything Trump does, whether it is good or bad. If they would only go after certain things and pick their battles, they might stand a chance.
One example might be the renaming of the Kennedy Center. I understand some of the bylaws or whatever is is called that establishes the Kennedy Center stated only Kennedy’s name could be on it. I don’t know if that is true or not, but the TDS crowd might stand a chance if that was true and they went after it from that angle instead of just the argument that you can’t have a felon’s name on the building.
Don’t get me started on the felon issue, you know, the felon who has 34 felonies, all for the same thing, i.e., one charge stated 34 times, which was not criminal action to start with, then moved into a misdemeanor, which was not a wobler, and wound up as the 34 felonies. I could have done a better job at that trial, along with thousands of others. And that is why you object to everyting so you can appeal, You do not get to appeal because you don’t like the outcome, it has to be a legal reason for an appeal and denying a change of venue was certainly an appealable issue as an example.
So guess what, I did not put the last period on the paper before the clock struck 12 on the 31st and my computer turned into a pumpkin. It only went back to being a laptop today so I am finishing up and starting a September page/ Yippee!
I am looking forward to September being a great month. It is Ali’s birthday month and the month I got out of the service, (along with the month I went into the service), the kids are back in school, I am moving forward with my directories and websites business, I have finished four tasks that were weighing me down already and it is only the 4th. I pray you are ready to feel really wonderful on October 1 because September was such a great month.

The Price of Eggs

By Great Perseverance, the Snail Reached The Ark. Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Saturday and I got out before 8:00, but just barely. It was still a little cool because the sun was just warming up. Actually, the sun was the same temperature it had been all night. It was just now getting here after the cool night with its thermometer set on high to heat the earth.
I had a lot of discussions with myself while I was going around and around a section in Covina. I still believe that whoever laid out the streets was drunk or drew with their eye closed, as there is no way to cover many sections without backtracking on certain streets. Obviously there is only one way to cover a cul-de-sac and that is to return to where you entered it.
You probably have never noticed but most houses have more than one double. I can’t count how many times I think I have already done that street I am on because either the houses look familiar or the layout of the street look exactly like the street I did yesterday even though it was in another city.
I was one for two today, or 50% right. Certain streets have a loop around the outside and then streets running either North or South or East and West, depending on the layout. I wasn’t sure if I had covered different cross streets twice. One I went and did it and one I didn’t. I have to drive back to that area and do the one I missed. I have learned to do the street while I am there so I don’t have to come back for one street in a section I have otherwise completed.
I did not follow my own rules I made up for myself and it will cost me. It really is not going to change the price of eggs in China, but there is more than once that I have not followed my rules and the price of eggs have changed not only in China, but all over the world. Remember when they went up to $25.00 a carton a few months back/ Now you know the reason why they went up.
I move around in the location of the streets I cover, I move around in the authors I read, I read different sections in the Bible, work on different topics, while trying to stay in tune with the Holy Spirit on a regular basis. My nature is to stay active, keep learning, stay alert with the political events and people, which is not really in accord with the consistency of walking in the Spirit. My rule is to walk in the Spirit, which coincidently is also a Biblical rule/
It is really easy for me to start thinking way ahead of God and what He is doing. At least that is what I think until the building falls on me. I have had buildings taller than the Empire State Building come crashing down. It has taken more than a week for the heavy equipment to just move the debris so I can see and breathe normally. The dust is so thick the firehose is unable to do more than take a few flakes off every so often.
But, the dust does clear, the debris is hauled off to the dump, and God’s Mercy and Grace, (I definitely need both of them), picks me up and places me back on the narrow path, with all my bandages and band-Aids losing their glue and littering the path behind me. I am sore, but able to move, I am sorry, but forgiven, I am humbled, but have a straight back and reporting for duty, back walking in the Spirit.
I hope I don’t have to go through this again because I don’t remember what caused the price of eggs to escalate so high, other than I must have taken a right or left turn at the intersection where the wide path crossed the narrow path. The blinking light giving me permission to cross said to keep walking in the Spirit said to cross here. But we need a little adventure in our life and I looked at the flashing cross walk lights in the wide path and off I went, following whatever was flashing, I just don’t know if I turned right or left at the intersection and went on the path of tumbling buildings and high egg prices.
I should look up how long you can store eggs and keep buying new ones at the cheaper price when they reach their expiration date. Or I could follow my own rules and keep walking in the Spirit which would keep the price of eggs low.
