Extra things to say on October 15, 2025
A few days ago it was cold, I always have my window open and so I found a big warm blanket in an unused room upstairs, and hence am ready for our long Canadian winters.
Dad was gonna go to a senior's luncheon that the dad of one of our pastors paid for, and then losing the car keys. When I said i'm going up he said that he doesn't blame me, and then in a pathetic tone of voice he says that he feels that sometimes I must wish he wasn't here.
Actions do speak louder than words.
I should have said for him not to be bothered by things like that, but it's like I don't have anything to give him that would truly help him, the best I could do is be prepared with helpful sections of what I've been reading, and not just where I left off in them.
However one must live with this material, giving just the high points without the valleys is like cheating.
There can be an inner peace and calm in the midst of panic, around matters which arise that are so unimportant, to have that inner calm is partially to realize that all those sorts of problems don't matter in the slightest.
I'm expecting a check in the mail, which will ensure I get through this month on ciggies and gummies, see what cute names I give my vices?
And then there's a max of 600 --- 200 for a new Kindle Paperwhite with a pop socket, and that then leaves 400, 400 for more Puritans!! Like what else would I get, and don't even think of saying to save that, hell no, time is short, if the end is nigh, I will be found reading, cuddled up under the blankets immersing my mind and thoughts upon eternal things, the bread of life which was so eloquently expounded on in a Spurgeon sermon on a verse in Deuteronomy which Jesus used like a sword against the Tempter, that foul serpent which beguiled Eve in the garden.
Prechewed bread, explained and elaborated by an elect assembly of folks who were mostly born before the Industrial Revolution, that's my ticket, and as I plumb those depths a loud bang and a blinding light, and all will be over as we have come to know it all.
