7-11-17 mindless chatter

I slept well last night. I didn't take any meds again yesterday. I really don't see the point. As long as I can function I'm ok. My whole purpose of living is to be functional for the people who depend on me. I don't think that I am capable of being happy. I can be content but not happy. I've tried God, money, careers, drugs, alcohol, success and still no happiness. Maybe some people just can't be happy. Anyway, why spend time worrying about it. Everything is ok. Shirley is doing ok. She told me that she wants to go to a Crawdad's Baseball game. I hate watching baseball. It is so slow and boring and it's just too hot and humid to sit outside for two hours.The dogs are ok. My daughter and Darren should be back home this morning with their load of school books. I had hoped to spend some time with the grandsons this summer but it looks doubtful.  I don't know about starting school in the spring. Going into overload mode is a dangerous thing for me to do now. Maybee it's best left for after I retire from work.My doctor wanted to know how I could be satisfied doing the work I do. Who says you have to be satisfied or even enjoy doing it. Work is Work. You do because to have to not because you like or enjoy it. I don't need a lot of material things anymore. A roof over my head, something to wear,  food and water, is all I need. Everything else is a luxury. Well guess I'd better go there's plenty to be done before I go to work.

9-16-23 Santa Staleness

Santa Staleness :: By Edwin Tan Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles My one and only trip to Israel had more than a profound effect on my present-day psyche. It might have been three decades ago, but there is more than a lingering aftertaste. It happened smack in the last fortnight of the year. Surprisingly absent were the familiar sights and sounds of the Christmas most people are accustomed to. Hardly any Christmas decorations in downtown Tel Aviv, if not any of the shopping thoroughfares across the Holy Land. Hanukah was a breath of fresh air – not anything resembling a Christmas carol most people grew up with did surface. The Christmas Eve service in a small Protestant church not far away from Jerusalem’s Old City was awesome; songs that truly celebrated the virgin birth of our Lord, which though seemingly unheard of, were a welcome inspiration to many a soul. There was even one sung in Arabic! So it began, my overt disdain for the secular Christmas t...

9-25-23 The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas

The Farm Chronicles: One Christmas :: By Bill Wilson Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:Bill Wilson, General Articles There are a lot of terrible things going on right now in the world. But we are at the time of the year when we, as Christians, celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. We can choose to be impacted by the world around us in its dimly lit arena, or we can choose to let our light so shine. I choose the latter. I want to tell you a little about the Christmas that I had growing up on our family farm in Ohio. I was blessed to be born into a horse and cattle farm that has been in our family for some 200 years. And Christmas, especially Christmas Eve, was a wonderful time for our family. December 24 was my Dad’s birthday. And my Dad was well-loved by his neighbors and friends, so we had a lot going on Christmas Eve. I remember one special Christmas Eve. I must have been about four years old. The night was falling, and the wind and snow were whipping across the barny...

9-15-23 Miracles 2

Miracles 2 :: By Jim Towers Published on: December 21, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles This story is a continuation of the exciting things God continues doing in my life. I was supposed to have died a while back, and sometimes I feel as though I may do so soon. But since I’m ready to meet my maker, I have no fear of death. In fact, my evangelistic zeal has only increased, especially as I see the fast approaching of the “Tribulation period” mentioned in the book of Revelation. Insofar as my acting career is concerned, I just finished filming a soliloquy featuring Melchior, one of the three Magi who followed the star to Christ lying in the manger, and am preparing to portray a Jewish Priest on stage. Like I said, God is working overtime in my life, and I will be appearing on stage singing Broadway show tunes sometime in March, so I have a lot of rehearsing to do. In the meantime, I will be signing Christmas carols acapella at a park here in Naples. Since it is a spontaneous th...
