The Fine Husband

We have a young couple in our Sunday School class this summer, who are about to move overseas to serve. R is a doctor currently working in a free clinic. He’s been coming to the Tuesday night men’s Bible Study, so we’ve participated in conversations together but other than that hadn’t really had time to talk. Then one recent Sunday morning during the service it was the time to greet those around us. R and his wife were sitting behind us. I turned and greeted R. Then Ceil turned around, so I introduced R to Ceil. I was about to turn and greet someone else, but I heard R say to Ceil “You have a really fine husband”. HA! I turned to my friend next to me and told them that I was such a swell guy. YES!

Last night at men’s Bible study I thanked Ryan for what he said. We had eight guys show up despite the thunderstorms. Reid hosted. I was the only David in attendance for a change. Also Dan, Robert, Jim, and neighbor Tom. Larry spoke on contentment. Good stuff. Helped remind me to focus on God, and not all the crap of the world: social media, politics, etc. I’ll type up the notes and share them with you.

It was raining when I left the office, but it stopped by the time I reached my car at the far end of the lot. Then in Peachtree Corners the rain came pounding back hard. Crossing the river there was 6 inches of water in the road. Then a mile up the road the road was bone dry.

Have you seen or heard from John Parkes lately? We used to hang out at Turner Field together during batting practice, and he would tell tales of his travels. When the Braves moved to Truist Park I tried to get him to go to some games, even offering to drive him, but like some was boycotting the Braves because of the move.

Speaking of the Braves, man are their concession prices outrageous. Just a year or two ago you could get a burger and fries for ten or eleven buck, and maybe BBQ for a little more. Now they’re almost $20. One menu item was $37.00. A 20 ounce bottle of water or Coke is 8 bucks. They don’t cut you any slack. Guess it’s like that for all teams. Same high prices out in Gwinnett. But at Mercedes Benz Stadium the food prices are much more reasonable. You get free refills on Cokes.

Ceil cooked a teriyaki stir fry for supper.

Had my last round of physical therapy this morning. As usual they worked me pretty hard. Now I gotta repeat all those exercises on my own. Need to get back to the gym tomorrow. Don’t tell anyone, but I’ve gained a little weight back. Not good considering the birthday deals are starting to roll in.

Customer visited today, so we had Jason’s Deli sandwiches and salad for lunch. And a cookie. Oops.

DENISON: conspiracy theories abound. What of Biden’s health across recent weeks, months, and years? Numerous pundits are faulting Kamala Harris for participating in an “epic miscalculation” or even an elaborate cover-up of his failings. Others have alleged conspiracies behind the July 13 attempted assassination of President Trump: Some claimed Biden “sent the orders,” while others called the attempt a “failed coup.” Others “reported” the Secret Service was ordered not to take out the gunman until after he fired on Mr. Trump. Some blamed the shooting on “extreme incompetence” or “deliberate” action by the Secret Service. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned yesterday after a contentious hearing with Congress on Monday. Will this lead to greater accountability, or is it part of the alleged cover-up?

 A good reminder for me, that I don't always heed...
