\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 On this day, I find it harder and harder to stumble over to the keyboard.\u00a0 One, I don’t like typing on a laptop.\u00a0 Which brings us to Two–I don’t want to buy a new computer.\u00a0 Combined with crappy internet service in rural OK, typing a blog is a chore, not a pleasure.\u00a0 Sometimes, however, I do miss the honey-stuck keys of the Mac.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In a repeat of last year, I did haul an ass-load of pizzas for the Shattuck homecoming games.\u00a0 This year, 130 to be exact.\u00a0 Last year was 125–INSIDE a suburban.\u00a0 But, we got more edumacated this time.\u00a0 We took 2 vehicles.\u00a0 Pickups that had bed covers on them.\u00a0 I stacked 130 in the bed of one pickup–not mine.\u00a0 And 20 in the other.\u00a0 So, yeah, 150 total.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Also today.\u00a0 Duke sent a text to Tammy & I.\u00a0 \u00a0Mind you, he was almost 400 feet in the air atop a wind turbine.\u00a0 He was somewhere in the Greater Snyder, TX area.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
“Currently have a birds eye view of some folks moving cows with a helicopter.”<\/p>\n
Then he sent video with the caption “Probably the most Texan thing you’ll see today.”\u00a0 COOL!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Now…if I had been that high in the air, looking down on a flying helicopter, I would have NOT been shooting video or texting.\u00a0 I would be trying to keep from shatting myself as I held on tight and prayed a lot!!\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Speaking of praying.\u00a0 I know a lot of you readers think that I only use this four letter word–BLOG–to bash some stuff.\u00a0 Not true.\u00a0 In the past 11 months, I have only bashed 6 different entities–one shitty judge, two BS artists, a cheater, a group that needs to do better for OK ag teachers and YOUR shitty government group.\u00a0 Wait?\u00a0 I only called out one entity–they all group together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I didn’t vote for any that are in office BUT I guess that they are yours, mine, ours–whatever.\u00a0 They suck but I guess they own all of us.\u00a0 Hunh?\u00a0 Wait a minute.\u00a0 Shouldn’t we own them?\u00a0 \u00a0Both groups that need to do better are tax payer funded.\u00a0 Isn’t that ironic?\u00a0 STOP!\u00a0 \u00a0Sometimes, it’s easy to tell when I’m getting ready to get de-railed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Let me get back on focus.\u00a0 Praying.\u00a0 Do it.\u00a0 Whatever in life is going on with you, do it.\u00a0 Now, it is a personal belief to not waste a prayer on some something as trivial as a stock show or ball game.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because in reality, a stock show\/ball game don’t matter.\u00a0 Pray for the people in those events but not for a win or a loss.\u00a0 Maybe just another personal belief, but do NOT waste a prayer (praying for stock shows\/ball games would be a waste).\u00a0 Instead, pray for the journey and more importantly pray for the opportunity to take that journey.\u00a0 MOST importantly, pray for those people that are taking THAT journey.\u00a0 Whatever that journey may be.\u00a0 And believe you me, not all journeys are fun nor photogenic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I truly do not give a rat’s ass what religion you prescribe to.\u00a0 Once, you get done reading this, or bookface, or twitter or the Chive, whatever.\u00a0 \u00a0Stop and say a prayer for whomever you see fit.\u00a0 Family, friends, co-workers, our nation, somebody in need, whomever.\u00a0 Better yet, before you log on to any type of social media, say a prayer for yourself and others, then read something.\u00a0 Then stop and pray some more.\u00a0 Short prayers.\u00a0 Pray for your goats, your livestock, your crops, your job, your spouse, your kids, your friends, etc.\u00a0 When should you pray?\u00a0 Today.\u00a0 And tomorrow.\u00a0 Which when tomorrow comes, it will be today.\u00a0 So, always, pray today.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And as you read this stuff, know this.\u00a0 I’m in a good place mentally.\u00a0 Really good.\u00a0 As in the past year, it will take something really stupid to bring out the bash.\u00a0 But I’m older, maybe fatter than I used to be and maybe just a bit more of a realist.\u00a0 I know who I am and I know my place.\u00a0 However, I know lots of people that need prayers and a multitude more that will attest to the power of prayer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tell me I’m wrong.\u00a0 As usual, I’m right.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
And to answer any questions—the answer is NO.\u00a0 I am not starting a cult.\u00a0 I have no chance to become the POPE.\u00a0 My religious beliefs have not changed.\u00a0 I just know what I know.\u00a0 Tomorrow as well as today.\u00a0<\/p>\n
