Steven Miller...the difference between leftists and regular citizens.

I watched this the other day. It was an International conference on combatting terrorism around the world.
Sometimes I wonder if the people listening actually understood what he was saying.
I see it.
It's funny, In Jesus' day the Ugly on the inside walked around in robes, hiding their true selves.
Talking about the Pharisees and Sadducees and High Priests.
Jesus had a lot to say to them about cleaning the inside rather than portraying beauty on the outside.
Today, ugly is as ugly does. And there some real ugly people out there.
It was a good conference. Marco Rubio, Steve Miller and Scott Bessent.
Taking on Antifa which are a global network of terrorists funded by globalists to create chaos in the world.

Thank you for sharing

My Husband and I used to be over the road truckers. Owner operator.
Had one of those House on wheels. Kenworth.
Ours was White.

View attachment 86927

Lost it back in 2012? when the economy took a dive.
I know how much diesel cost. Back then it was nearing the $5 a gal , and it took about 100/150 gal to go 500 miles.

I hope your friend was able to find what he needed.
I'm just saying, there is no shortage of diesel fuel, that doesn't mean the places he went to hadn't had thier delivery of fuel that day.
Lot of times out on the road you stop in a truckstop and they would be out of fuel. Have to wait a few hours for the fuel trucks to come and fill up the tanks.

Do you know @Not me is a truck driver? Long distance. Also my uncle Danny and a cousin, Dana, used to be big rig truck drivers.

It's not an easy life that's for sure.
10 years long.
I think that's how I got sick. Not enough exercise, eating all that greasy food in the truckstops. Too much sugar and cream in my coffee.
Not enough sleep, and lots of stress.
Sure can take a toll on a body.

We had a Step Deck trailer and used to haul a lot of steal and parts for the military.
I couldn't pass the medical exam because I have no peripheral vision in my right eye. So I would do all the "secretarial" work, I was the map keeper, lol. Made the phone calls.
Every now and then I get up on top and help him tarp and chain and bungee.
I was a lot younger then, lol
I don't miss the trucking, but I do miss my hubby, He passed away about 3 years ago? from a heartattack.
I've lost track of time.
One day just flows into another nowadays.

God Bless Our Truckers!
They make the world go round.
:D

Sorry for the loss of your husband. Can I ask how old he was? My dad passed away from a heart attack when he was only 52. I was 25 at the time.

He was 60. I was 56.
It was during covid. I wasn't with him at the time.
A couple years earlier his mom wanted me to take her up north to stay with her other son. We were living in Fl.
It was right after Hurricane Irma. Everything got flooded and we didn't have any electric for a couple weeks.
He was on the road.
So I packed up my 10 cats a dog and my mother-in-law in a Kia and drove to NH. Took me 3 days I can't see good at night.
I asked my dad if I could stay at our summer camp in ME because I really had nothing to go back to.
I been here ever since.
She decided that she wanted to go back to FL and stay with my hubby, who because the son she thought she wanted to stay with, had miraculously somehow transformed into a woman. Things weren't working out the way she thought it would.
So he came and brought her back to FL. I stayed here and started taking care of dad.
I can only speculate, but I believe he went in for a cdl medical exam, and may have got the shot, I don't know,'
But I got a call from my mil who said she couldn't find him he was missing. She had gone blind by now and was wheelchair bound so she couldn't look for him.
I called up a friend and asked him to go look, and when he got there, he was on the floor, gone.

Right in the middle of all the chaos.
In a weird way I was thankful that he wouldn't have to be driving through all the protests that were happening around the country.
Remember they were blocking the highways and attacking truckers. And he wasn't the type to wait if he had a schedule to make.
I'm glad he didn't have to go through a lot of that crazy time.

I think it's been about 4 years now.
He was a great go to. Anything I had a problem with he knew how to fix it, whether it was mechanical, or house related.
If my car broke down he would tell me how to fix it. If I had problems with the water heater or plumbing he would walk me through how to fix them. Now I have to figure out a lot myself and try to remember what he taught me.

And now my dad is home hospice so I take care of him and it gets stressful sometimes.
But we're doing ok.
He's 91. I'm 61.
And for some reason the Lord is keeping us here on borrowed time.

And even though the world is scary at times, it's a wonderful time to be alive.

I think we're watching history be made everyday. Watching prophecies unfold before our eyes.
And many years ago I asked if I could be around to see the end and watch the new beginning.
And I believe we're seeing that happening now.
And yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Truer today then ever.

Rambling..

Are potty mouth people going to hell?

Funny how those walking after the flesh (living in sin) always seek to justify themselves in their sin.

Our speech should testify to others that we are Christians. Using foul language testifies to others that they are not led by the Holy Spirit and the foul language coming out of their mouth is what is in them in abundance instead of God's Word being in them (Luke 6:45)

1 Corinthians 15:33-34
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Colossians 3:8
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Ephesians 4:22-25, 29-31
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

Luke 6:45
A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man
out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the
heart his mouth speaketh.

So we see those using foul language are canal minded people who are walking after the flesh still in
their sin. Of course they play like it's cool to cuss which is trying to be like heathens out in the
world who don't know the Lord as they aspire to impress and be like the heathens.

Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the
body, ye shall live.

Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

One of the ear marks of those who are corrupt and separated from the Lord (walking in death) is using
foul language which we know because the Holy Spirit never leads anyone to be filled with ungodleness
speaking corrupt words of darkness.

Thanks for sharing all of that. My mom was here at our apartment on hospice and I took care of her so I know it isn't easy. She died at 94 at our apartment two years ago. Although she was frail and homebound, it was the hip surgery that did her in and led to her death.

I hope you are able to get outside in nature since you are surrounded by it I think.

Dad had a stroke 2 years ago. He went to the hospital with a UTI and got sepsis. They came in with that jab, and I said no.
They told me he had to have it. So I picked it up. You can't do that, that's a sterile syringe!!, I said it isn't now.
They had to give him a blood transfusion and I stayed with him the whole time.
Around 4 am they told me I had to leave and come back during visiting hours. I said no.
They escorted me out. I slept in the waiting room until they would let me back in.
I'll be damned if they didn't give him that shot. I just about punched somebody out, but I had to think about my dad.
He recovered from the Uti, and they put him in rehab. That morning I went to make sure he was tucked in ok, and he was sitting in a chair and he was gone. 2 nurses standing there staring at him. What the hell are you doing? Get an ambulance!!
Talk about frustrated.
He got to the hospital and he had had a stroke. Doc said they got this new drug. It will either break the clot and he lives or it could cause brain bleed, and he dies. I said, doc, seeing the odds are 50 to 0 I guess we'll take the shot, Because if we do nothing he will die.

Well it worked Praise God. Then came 6 weeks of rehab having to learn to swallow and talk.
They said, his insurance won't cover any more time. If he stays it's $450 a day.
I said, naw, Im taking him home. You can't do it by yourself, you have no way to move him. So I bought a hoyer and I learned how to use it.
2 years later we're still here. And I get him up in the morning for breakfast, lay him down for an afternoon nap. Get him up for dinner, and put him to bed. And you know all the other stuff in between.
He weighs about 180 and I'm about 160, I need more muscles lol

I am seriously rambling tonight. getting hit again with that foggy out of focus thing. I don't know what causes it. I was good this morning, but as the day goes on it gets challenging.

Frankly, I haven't left the house for 2 years. I go out on the porch now and then, but my legs don't work too good so I don't go far incase I can't make it back.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I know that's not easy. My mom passed away over 30 years ago from a heart attack and I still get choked up missing her.
Sorry if I sound a bit gruff, lot of feelings flooding in right now.
Thank You @Debp

Much Love
Hugs

I understand. I used to walk far and go everywhere, and jump on the subway to do errands and to sightsee. Loved it. But now I don't walk too well, use a cane for balance. So I don't go far either. I call a taxi when I need to go to doctor or the bank.

I could write a book, lol
I almost did but deleted it
Well, life has been good. It's had it's ups and downs.
I met Jesus when I was 18. My life didn't change right away, but a new path was set before me.
And yes, sometimes I do still have a bit of a potty mouth, trucking will do that to you lol
But it's not out of bitterness or anger, it's just words. fillers. habit.
And the only one who can judge me is the Lord, and he knows my heart.
The jasmine came and went, then the rhododendrons came and went, now the daylilies are blooming and every now and then I catch them out of the corner of my eye.
Before you know it the leaves will be falling and the days getting shorter, (No more changing the clocks, they passed the Daylight Savings Bill and now it's law) , then the snow will fall and I'll have to get my shovel and go digging.
And then we'll do it again.
I pray by this time next year the world will be in a much better place.

Don't worry, I do believe we have a cure.
It won't be comfortable I'm afraid, but we will put it in remission and then blast it out all together.
Is that how they treat cancer?
I don't know but it sounds good to me.
We can't keep going like this, it's terminal.
We have to call the Physician and Cut it out.
