My dear Friends and Readers,
A few years ago some 'top rated' female doctor specialist claimed that I also had osteo arthritis and Fibromyalgia, and lately "something" is sapping my strength and power. I drove to Racine, WI [on Lake Michigan] and bought 4 more tomato plants to insure a good crop this year, so now we have 13 plants planted and watered as of today. My dear wife is NOT supposed to be doing too much physical work, but she helped me plant today. Both of us are completely totaled out. I am at the point now at age 62 that my own Dad was at age 72!! I NEVER thought it would come to this. I had 2 sandwiches for lunch and feel full. Sharon stayed up all night [AGAIN] and I told her to PLEASE get some rest NOW--after her shower. I cannot order her around or treat her like a kid... but those of us who have wives over age 50 know exactly what I am talking about....LOL. I am just trying to keep her out of the hospital.
Actually, the VA gives me medication to SLOW down my mind, for PTSD, because my mind kicked into 100 MPH after I got home from 2 tours in Vietnam, but my body was running at about 30 MPH, with panic attacks, flash backs of helicopter crashes and combat,etc. Reading/ studying the Bible and accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior has certainly helped my condition, but please remember that-- just like diabetes or cancer, we Vets have to learn to "COPE / LIVE with the Beast." There is no cure... yet, until we get to heaven. I repeat this stuff in my posts to help other combat Veterans who are still going thru hell on earth. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
We are still looking for a regular guy to cut and trim the lawn-- and that pretty much rules out young guys [even from church] who are just too lazy, or too "busy" doing nothing...Ha! What will they do when the "Big Storm" comes??
It's the older guys that usually help me, and I always compensate them generously. And to think that I [just a humble. slim, but strong, farm kid] worked my butt off ALL MY LIFE doing many jobs, seeking more education when ever I could, retiring from AMC/ Chrysler after some 30.5 years, AFTER I got my honorable discharge from the Army! And you ask: 'why is our country a wreck ?' But I am pounding my drum...this is ALL fore told in the Bible [which is written mostly on the 5th grade level]. Woe to the so-called 'Christian' churches who don't ENCOURAGE THEIR FOLLOWERS TO CARRY THEIR OWN COPY OF THE BIBLE TO CHURCH EVERY WEEK!! Shame on you! It's like putting basic dumb and ignorant civilians into battle/ combat without any real training-- no shots, no haircut, no rifle drill !!
Well, I didn't intend to turn this post into another rant. I know I can do very little to just SAVE and ENCOURAGE a few people, as I receive few replies or comments. Hey, there are so many cowards out there afraid to take a stand. Jesus had something to say about being 'lukewarm.' Sorry to stray off the main subject matter, friends.
I just wanted to say that the UPS man delivered my last pack of DEFINED KJV BIBLES to my back porch today -- but I asked him to put them over on my picnic bench and help me open them as I handed him my 'tool.' Then I shared the Gospel with him [captive audience..lol] for the next five minutes and now we know each other better.
I don't plan on ordering more of those special bibles, and folks can just order them very SIMPLY themselves: biblefortoday.org

I can't believe you have tomatoes in the ground all ready! I thought I would be ahead of the game and planted 2 early tomatoes. Well...........we had a hard frost last week and it killed them because there must have been in hole in the bag we used.
My sun room is full of plants waiting to go outside in the ground now, lol.
