Everybody's like:
But you're a Christian, why are you supporting a Muslim woman?
Romans 12:18
If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
"Here On Out" DMB
"Out of the corner of my eye
I caught you walk by
I chase you down
Is it okay if I call you mine
From here on out?
As if I could ever stop
You are light as a butterfly
As heavy as a rock
The bottom and the top
Is it okay if I call you mine
From here on out?
As if I could ever stop
And now I'm opened up
I am strong and wild
Like a storm out the stars in my blood
And it's all because of you, you my love
Is it okay if I call you mine
From here on out?
As if I could ever stop
When you laugh, its like a light
That fills me up
'Cause you are my love
Like when I fell into your eyes
I could not get out
And I could not get enough
Is it okay if I call you mine
From here on out?
As if I could ever stop
When I'm all used up
Old and breaking apart
Like a storm out the stars in my blood
All because of you, you are my love
Is it okay if I call you mine
From here on out?
As if I could ever stop
And I want you to know
I still need you so
I want you to know
And I still need you so
Is it okay if I call you mine
From here on out?
As if I could ever stop"
I
had a dream last night about the wedding.
I've been having all kinds of crazy dreams lately.
The one that sticks out is being in the studio with Peter Gabriel producing The stones.
Very odd.
They're all very vivid dreamsas well.
Crazy.
I usually don't remember them.
Really?
This is your wedding goal lol?
I always thought we would ride the bike up to Bill's on the Hill
and get some chicken strips then come back for pictures and the bonfire.
Somebody
keeps calling me one.
I don't see it personally.
As long as she does?
Then what do I care?
Spiritual maybe.
Emphasis on maybe.
Psalm 116:1-2
Psalm 116:1-2
I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live.
RUMI
Or:
2 Corinthians 12:7-9
"...or because of these surprisingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
Isnt
this the truth?
If you go around trying to make everybody else happy?
All you'll end up doing is making yourself miserable.
You probably won't make many others happy either.
So whats the point?
If people want you to be miserable?
You don't need them in your life.
Period.
I
love haters and doubters.
I do.
It just fires me up.
Oh you don't think I'll work?
Watch this.
(It was never about being to good or to lazy.
It was about trying to get people to tell me
what was going on all around me, no need anymore.)
Oh don't think I can work an early AM shift and still help out managing a household?
Watch this.
It's all just horse shit.
I've proven people wrong every step of my life
and I'll do whatever I gotta to just keep on doing so.
Don't think so?
Watch this.
I may get down.
But I don't stay there.
I just don't
I know whats coming.
I've made it this far.
I'll make it as far as I need to.
Never
They say there is a time to back away.
When you've done all you can do.
When you know you're each others and you always will be.
Then just wait patiently for that day.
Well?
We don't seem to be able to.
Either one of us.
That is absolutely fine with me.
I always, always, always feel better writing to you.
I plan on doing it even when were together sitting right across from each other.
I've said that plenty of times before.
Seems to be my calling in life.
It makes me happy.
You would think somebody being happy would make others be happy for him/her.
Unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
Just know I plan on having many a breakfast doing exactly what were doing now only being together.
K?
My
guy came in 2nd at the race Sunday.
Happy for Chase Elliott to get his first win.
Happy for Al too.
Chase is his guy.
Chase had a lot of second place finishes before breaking through.
It was definitely his day.
Holding off the defending series champ should go a long way in boosting his confidence down the road.
Get it?
Down the road?
As in the track?
Anyway.
Watkins Glen is one of my favorite tracks.
Just happens to be a road course.
Attendance for NASCAR has been down for years now
but this track always manages to sell out.
I'd love to see a race there someday.
There and Bristol would probably be my top two picks.
Then Martinsville.
How many times have I told you about my guy finishing second this year lol?
He's in the chase which is all that matters at this point.
Love you Lucy.
Never.
I knew shortly after meeting you it would be you,
or it would be nobody else ever.
That was it.
Those were my choices.
So I chose you.
Actually?
I think we were given to each other
but that is another post which has already been beaten to death.
Spectacular or bust.
Lookin more and more like spectacular each and every day.

I
felt like the song selection was spot-on this AM. There have only been a handful of times where I have ever searched to match up a song with a phrase you've used. Usually only when I'm thinking of a lyric or a title and just can't remember it. The song this AM came to me at that time and not the night previous or believe me, you would have heard it then lol. Not only do you get a live in chef and comedian but a musicologist as well.
How did you get so blessed indeed.
Bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Luke 6:20-26
Luke 6:20-26
Looking at his disciples, he said:
“Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
“Rejoice in that day and leap for joy,
because great is your reward in heaven.
For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.
“But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.
Deuteronomy 3:23-25
"At that time I pleaded with the Lord:
“Sovereign Lord, you have begun to show to your servant your greatness and your strong hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do the deeds and mighty works you do?
Let me go over and see the good land beyond the Jordan—that fine hill country and Lebanon.”
Positive Affirmations
Failure is not an option.
Live your life.
I know I got this.
I am enough.
I am Powerful and loved.
Attitude is everything.
Get the ball rolling.
Be yourself.
Today will be great.
Feel the fear and do it anyway.
Just do it.
I am not stuck.
Yes you can.
Never give up.
Believe and achieve.
I am ready.
Believe.
I am worthy.
No pain no gain.
Refuse to lose.
Don't worry be happy.
"Just
take it day by day."
Funny how when one person says it to you, you completely ignore it
and another person tells you later on and youre all like:
"Yeah, that makes sense, lets do that."
And you know they both love you, yet in very different ways.
Lets
see...
I get up earlier than I have to just to give myself 15 extra minutes to see what was sent/written the night previous. I make a bline wherever I can hit wifi just to see what's new.
I always say good morning and good night combined with I love you's
Still write here.
Still text.
And today I get it with something to the effect of
"It feels like you're forgetting about me"
:-).
Yes, with a smiley face albeit.
Good thing I understand you.
Cause I know:
A) Even if I gave you nonstop attention 24/7 it wouldn't be enough.
Even at that, you would take it for granted even while not getting enough.
Not really sure how that is congruent in your head but I just know that it is :-).
Yes, said with a smiley face.
B) If I cut back at all with any attention I'll hear about it lol.
So 24/7 isn't enough and cutting back
isn't an option regardless of personal circumstances.
Nice to know the ground rules.
Like I said, I'm just glad I know you.
:-).
I love you Virgie.

His
threats are having the opposite effect of whats intended.
Just like lots of people said they would.
"US officials have indicated that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards appear to have prepared over 100 vessels for exercises in the region, involving hundreds of ground forces.
The drills could reportedly begin within the next 48 hours."
"The officials noted the drills appear to be designed to send a message to the US administration over their intensifying economic and diplomatic pressure on Iran."
"The US administration’s decision to withdraw from the 2015 Iran Nuclear deal has empowered fervent critics of the US in Iran, advocating for decreased engagement."
"I just want
your extra time and your...
Kiss."
All your time actually...
Hugs...
Kisses...
Other things too lol.
I
love the emoji's on your comments heading.
Seems like somebody is getting excited :-).
Stressed maybe lol, understatement, but excited.
I love you.

Good
for her.
Always liked her.
Glad to hear her say it.
There's more for women to do than be moms if thats what they want.
'Maybe my purpose isn't to procreate'
Pennys
on the $'s they made.
Business expense.
Cost of doing business etc.
Why in the world does anybody do any business with these jack-asses?
FYI
Always always always watch Turkey.
"While negotiations to release one of the people, evangelical Pastor Andrew Brunson, are ongoing, the preparation of the so-called “designation packages" shows how close the U.S. has come to imposing unprecedented penalties against a NATO ally."
"The two countries have quarreled over a panoply of foreign policy issues that have driven the onetime allies to outright hostility. Foremost among them are differences over policy in Syria and Iran, Turkish suspicions about the U.S. response to a 2016 coup attempt against Erdogan, and the Turkish leadership’s budding friendship with Putin."
"The U.S. is also considering a hefty fine on state-run lender Turkiye Halk Bankasi AS for its role in evading U.S. sanctions targeting Iran’s nuclear program, and it would impose sanctions on Turkey when it receives delivery of a missile defense system from Russia, expected in 2019."
"The Americans had been carrying out the negotiations through a backchannel with a person close to Erdogan, according to people familiar with the matter. But they have had a difficult time gauging whether or not the Turkish side fully comprehends the possible consequences of U.S. sanctions on Turkey’s economy."
"That’s made it harder for the U.S. to take decisive action as the U.S. is reluctant to take action that could risk tanking the economy of a nominally allied country, or bringing down its banking system. Turkish companies and banks depend on foreign capital to plug one of the world’s largest current-account deficits, which requires about $200 million a day in foreign financing."
"Ironically, the damage that U.S. action could do to Turkey makes it more hesitant to act and strengthens Turkey’s negotiating position, according to Asli Aydintasbas, an Istanbul-based senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations."
“I have seen this over and over in this relationship going back two decades, on a much smaller scale," Aydintasbas said. “The price of actually doing something is so big that Turkey has a psychological advantage. It’s as if they have more power, whereas it’s the other way around."
"Turkish suspicions about the U.S. response to a 2016 coup attempt against Erdogan"
That is the first time I have seen anything like that listed in a mainstream publication. Usually Turkey is said to want a cleric in the US extradited for his role in the coup attempt. Not so this time. Says it point blank: "Turkish suspicions about the U.S. response to a 2016 coup attempt against Erdogan". I've always said we were behind the coup attempt. Trust me, the parties that know? They know.
Oh yeah,
it's a hoax.
"In fact, the number of acres burned in the USA by wildfire has doubled compared with 30 years ago. Last year, more than 10 million acres burned. Over the past five years, an average of 6.7 million acres burned a year."
"This isn't a blip: Extreme one-day rainfall across the nation has increased 80 percent over the past 30 years. Ellicott City, Maryland, for example, has had so-called thousand-year floods in 2016 – and this year."
"For many, it's the heat records that have been the most extraordinary: Northern Finland, above the Arctic Circle, hit 90 degrees; a possible all-time record for Africa of 124 degrees was measured in Algeria; the mercury hit 106 in Japan, an all-time mark during a heat wave that killed dozens; fierce heat in Canada killed at least 70 people in late June and early July."
FYI
"The $200 billion list of goods targeted for tariffs — which also include Chinese tilapia fish, printed circuit boards and lighting products — would have a bigger impact on consumers than previous rounds of tariffs.
Erin Ennis, senior vice president of the U.S.-China Business Council, said a 10 percent tariff on these products is already problematic, but more than doubling that to 25 percent would be much worse.
"Given the scope of the products covered, about half of all imports from China are facing tariffs, including consumer goods," Ennis said. "The cost increases will be passed on to customers, so it will affect most Americans' pocketbooks."
So much for your tax cut that turns into a tax increase next year while corporate taxes got their cuts permanently.
It
came to me last night.
This article just assumes the status quo remains as is and "favorable supply chains" get established no problem. Like theres no reason China militarized the South China Sea to begin with?
Why would they possibly do that?
It couldn't be just for the natural gas/oil and minerals right?
Couldn't be any other reason?
Free flow of trade among them?
(Currently 30% of all global maritime trade flows through the South China Sea, the thinking is it will continue to increase.)
Maybe?
Perhaps?
I think were foolish to think otherwise.
This article just assumes supply lines just get moved and life just goes on.
I think thats a huge assumptive mistake.
