Heat Humidity Aggravation God and Country

Another long weekend. I've got ceiling fans and fans blowing up here with the blinds drawn. Hopefully it will stay cool. Last night was way too warm. Of course pain pills give me hot flashes and that is not always pretty.

Went to church today and that was good. We sang 2 patriotic hymns which in our congregation is nearly unknown. And we closed with How Great Thou Årt. I have sung that at so many funerals and it says a lot. Sermon today was on God and Country. How to reconcile being a good Christian and a good Citizen. I need to read more Martin Luther. I surely do appreciate the fact that my God encompasses the entire world, broken and sinful as it is, and not just these United States as some might have us believe. And I think that God weeps over the mistakes we make as we as encourages us when we do the right thing.

Been watching the World Cup. Wow, Brazil is gone. I am going to cheer for Germany. I like Germans. Being of German descent it's only fitting. Geht Deutschland!

And England... good old England. I see Beckham has resigned as captain. I read somewhere that he is thinking of coming and playing in America. Bringing robowife with him. Would be something to see. My kiddo would love to see the spice girls get together again. Oh my, that is sad.

Husband is home for 4 days. Maybe something will get done around here. I doubt it. He's not that motivated. But he will play poker for hours and hours online.

I had fun in Laughlin, even though it was 113º and we had a monsoon blow through. Found a great outlet store and had fun. Gambled a little, swam a little and just relaxed. A good way for a birthday to be experienced. Getting up there.

July 18th I have surgery. Then slinged for 4 weeks. I am going to have to learn to do things left handed. That should be fun.

I was thinking if I was ever lucky enough to win the lotto ( a dream so many have), I would buy a home in my hometown, and make sure there were plenty of trees, yard, and a porch I could sit on. I'd have it screened for the summer and winterized for the winter so I could enjoy watching life. Wonder if that would happen?

Life as we know it....
Ciao!
