Yesir' fellow picker, it's good to be back!

In the grand scheme of things, I had to leave for these 7 months, it was supposed to happen. Talk to Dale (Orvet), and he'll fill you in.

By the complete leveling of that old life, everything pre-August 4th, 2022 is gone. As it should be.

It took 7 months for everything to finally come together, and now I completely understand why those 23 years happened.

In layman's terms, I "turned over a new leaf".
In biblical terms, "Put off the old man, put on the new". That man that was then, no longer exsits.

Everything has changed boys!

My health is better now, than before 2014.

I am clear of mind. I am proactive for my health, the bi-polar, everything.
The porn addition died with that old wicked man!

I AM COMPLETELLY FREE FROM THOSE CHAINS OF BONDAGE THE MONSTER BOUND ME WITH, JUNE 23, 2011.
I was 12 years old.

I am clear, I am free, I know what my path in life is now. Wherever the Lord takes me, I shall follow.

Oh brother, you know what my call is?


My perfect ability to sing naturally, my perfect mind, my body able to feel the sound waves from any speaker source.


The way He has created me, I am a walking computer, and a walking sound transmitter.

I am dead serious.

Once a sound source hits the certan hertz, my nervous system links in, and my brain processes the sound throughout my nervous.


It is like the most mind bending massage you could ever have, and it doesn't even come close.

With the songs beat, my body pulses in perfect time.

Oh, and in turn, I can naturally dance, like nothing you've ever seen.

:D

You know what, I think this just a taste of what are heavenly body will be like.
We will be in tune with heaven around us.

Like it says in the word, the will be praiseing for all of eternty. We will be worshiping like nothing else!!!

I've been watching and listening to heavy, edifing things of God. My body go into sink with it, and I go like nothing you've ever seen.


Like it is written in the before time, to bring about the period of peace, before the greatest clammity strikes us human kind. The pre-pre great tribulation.

Good night brother, I feel absolutely wondful!!!!

I like to read the Bible in various translations. I'm currently reading from the English Standard Version (ESV) in the Book of Psalms. I left off reading this evening at Psalms 110.

I just read the latest CJ Box book in the Joe Pickett series. Like sll the others in the series, the book was really good.

The Craig Johnson, Longmire series was a fun read too. I wish he had more books coming out.

With the way things are going in this country, I might pull out and re-read Edward Abbey's Monkey Wrench Gang.

Just finished The Fountainhead by Ann Rand.

A laborious read, but worth it.

Now to tackle Atlas Shrugged.

I enjoyed Anthem my Ann Rand in high school and thought it was a great book. I believe I also read Atlas Shrugged and started Fountainhead but found it to laborious. Too many bones and not enough meat for my taste! But that was 50 years ago. I might reread it and find it fascinating.

The book I am currently reading is The Return of the Gods by Jonathan Cahn. I am finding a fascinating!

Here are some very well-done books on the U.S. Cavalry. This section Vol. III of the book series, I am reading is to 1916, so just before WWI ::hmm::

The title, "The Horse Soldier 1776-1943" title caught my attention. I will see if I can find it.

A couple of years ago I read a book with a similar name:

Horse Soldiers: The Extraordinary Story of a Band of US Soldiers Who Rode to Victory in Afghanistan
https://www.amazon.com/Horse-Soldiers-E ... 1416580522

The newer Horse Soldiers book told the story of some extraordinarily brave US Troops in Afghanistan. It's worth a read.

I have read the newer Horse Soldiers book and I liked it so much I got it on CD and listened to it a couple of years later. Some of the action took place around Kunduz City, the capital of Kunduz Provance. I spent 8 months there training the Afghan National Police in 2003 not so long after the story takes place. An interesting part of the world... ::hmm::

This one comes up on every "Best Western Novels" list I've seen. I've put off getting it only because of its size--840+ pages. Well, I received a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday, soooo....
I'm about 60 pages in and really enjoying it.
Gonna take a while to finish, but I can see why it's a Pulitzer Prize winner.

Nope, never watched the miniseries. Guess I'll have to.
And two months later...just finished. An excellent read. Far from being action packed, but McMurtry knows how to keep it interesting. I never thought while reading this about giving up on it; it's that good.

Now to peruse the bookcase and find what's next.
Hmmmm....history? Or more fiction?

And I believe our public library has the miniseries on DVD.
Take care and God bless,
