Weather

The last couple of weeks the storms that have swept through the Mid-West has been incredible. What are the odds of two powerful storms going through the same region? I prayer that they will get some relief from the storms.

These events are always hard, but it gives everyone who was not affected by the weather time to think about preparedness for the next storm. So often the thought of "it will not happen to me" always delays the preparing. I know that no one is going to 100% ready for anything that would cause a major disruption of life. But at least with a little bit of prepping it could make easier in the recovery process.

Memorial Day

Just some thoughts from today.

I think it is strange when people said "Happy" Memorial Day. Its not a happy day, it is a day to honor those who have died for our country. I think this should be a somber day to reflect and to be grateful for those who gave their life for our freedom.

I went with my wife to the National Cemetery as we have constantly done for  at least the last 15 years. The people gathered there was small. I have never understood how people call themselves patriotic but never go to events like today or Veterans Day parades.

Freedom Is Not Free

Months

Wow, time sure does fly. I was thinking it had only been a couple of months since my last post and realized it's been since January. Maybe it was the cold winter hibernation.

I guess with all the news in the last few months it seems a little overwhelming.

I wonder if one day I'll watch the news and maybe somewhere in the broadcast there will be good news.
