My dad had surgery on his back. This is the third time they have needed to do this as the problem is affecting one vertebrae at a time. This time, though, they had to do some repair work on the old scar tissue so his recovery has been very slow.
Though my step mom has done most of the care for him, I have been busy helping.
I am teaching my third kid to drive. You know, I don't really enjoy this, though I do enjoy them having their licenses. He should pass his test next week and then I get to start on #4 :-P
I know the courts have ruled a drivers license to be a privilege, not a right. Those judges obviously didn't live in the western US. The nearest public transportation is half an hour away by car. The nearest store is a mile or so. We would literally starve if we didn't have at least one driver's license in the house. It is a necessity for living outside the big city. I certainly can see not having or needing one in the city. It would reduce the cost of living. But here? No. You can't survive without it.
Anyway, I am getting to be a better driving teacher, though it takes hours out of my week.
In considering how I would teach the Pentateuch in Bible study (not that that is actually on the schedule or anything. Just thinking ahead to all possibilities), I decided the best, most interesting way to do it would be to go by law, not the order in the Bible. So, cover all laws from the whole Bible on slavery at once. Then the laws on theft, etc.
In this vein, I am working on the Ten Commandments. That is the first real set of laws. At some point, this will likely be published in a print book, but that is a long way off.
And of course with the political season, I'm busy making sure everyone on Facebook knows my opinion. Like, that will make a difference in the world, lol.
To summarize those beliefs:
If you want socialism, move. You have the whole world to choose from. Those of us who see socialism as dangerous and tyranny-by-committee have nowhere else to go. So it's only fair to leave us one country while you have the rest of the world.
I have been saying for 30 years "Anyone but Hillary." Yep, for that long. She entered the public arena when Bill was running by saying "I could have been a homemaker but I wanted to do something with my life besides bake cookies and have teas." Grrrrrrrrrrrr.
Words that come to mind with HC: Condescending. Better-Than-Thou. Racist. Liar. Thief. Murderer. Evil. Umbridge.
Trump? He's been in the news for 30 years too and honestly, I'm surprised there aren't more accounts of philandering, though he would have to work hard to catch up to Bill's escapades.
Everyone who knows him, especially those who have worked for him, say he is a fun, generous man.
Evidently Hillary is into dog breeding because everyone who knows her, especially those who have worked with her, keep talking about mamma dogs...
Personalities aren't nearly as important as philosophy though.
Hillary: "...deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed.”
How exactly does she intend to do that? To change my mind on abortion and other religious views that are different than hers? Fine me? Imprison Me? Maybe she wants to add lion pits to DC? Am I exaggerating? No, I don't' think so. The worst persecution of Christians in history has been not because they wanted to worship Jesus, but because they didn't worship the government ABOVE Jesus. They dared have different opinions than those in power.
Nothing BO has done has surprised me. He told us before he was elected what he was going to do and he has done it.
Hillary has told us what she intends to do, and that includes forcing anyone who disagrees with her to change their minds.
Trump isn't perfect, but then, no human being is. I do wish he was more conservative. But I will take his imperfections over her evil any day.
And you know, the way he handles the media, the way he puts them in their place, may actually be the best thing for this country in the long run over any other issue. They no long report, but indoctrinate. Democracy can not survive without an unbiased media, and we no longer have one.
This whole election is really about one question:
Who will run the country? The people or the self appoint aristocrats?
A vote for Trump is a vote for the people.
