Hello once again… it’s ‘hump’ day … the middle of the week –
And over in Playfair at Earl ‘n’ Lester’s Bait Shop and Sushi Bar – well, they’re celebratin’ and downhearted at the same time. Celebrating because the water in the lake is up by about another two feet from the recent rains and restricted outflow downstream – and downhearted because the FDA says some peanut butter is contaminated with a powerful strain of salmonella and there’s no way to identify it yet… until people get sick.
Does it seem to you there are more things to be avoided than ever… That’s why it’s so calm over at Playfair… they haven’t decided to pry themselves out of the early 20th Century yet… Life at least *seems* to be a little more on the simple (and safe?) side. But then they don’t remember iron lungs or polio – or more people sick with pneumonia, scarlet fever, chicken-pox and all the things we’ve been glad to see go over the side.
Barbara and I often bemoan how often (more often) we have to see the doctors… and the dentist… but I’m thankful they’re there… and although I get impatient with the paperwork that follows insurance… I’m glad it’s there too…and hope more people can get coverage. It just can’t happen like a lightning bolt.
Well… let’s not stray off into the world of illness – on a beautiful day – no matter where we are. Thank the Lord for HIS blessings. It’s a lovely time of the year even if I get a little tired of winter… If we don’t have enough cold weather the apples don’t produce nor the peaches… and we can comfort ourselves with peach “presarves” if our habits are frugal enough in the summer… Or if we can make enough trips to the supermarket in the winter. Let us count the blessings we have and not despair of the ones we don’t. The Lord *will* supply all the *needs* of HIS children – we’re assured from the Bible and by the Holy Spirit.
God bless you today as you live before HIM.
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack and Barbara
