Brain Dump

I'm baffled by the astonishment expressed by those who have watched videos about how easily disease spreads. Where have these people been? I remember those videos when they were used by abstinence educators. Everyone said it was unrealistic for people to avoid STDs, and yet it's actually easier to avoid STDs than it is to avoid viruses. And yet, we're now expected to do whatever is necessary to avoid spreading viruses. The hypocrisy is mind boggling.

REAL Week 565

REAL - Reduce stress Exercise Adequate sleep Lower caloric intake

Right up front: Never in a million years could I do what is required. However, I needed to start somewhere. Considering how fit the SEALs are, I figured it was a good place to start. My pushups are against the wall.

Using 1, 2, and/or 4-lb weights:

PT ~ Physical therapy

UBP ~ Upper body exercises, pushups, and chair sits against the wall

61. Operation Second Chance (Cutter's Code series) by Justine Davis contemporary suspense romance. I love her characters and stories.

62. Blaze of Light by Gary Beikirch and Marcus Brotherton is the story of Gary Beikirch, a Medal of Honor recipient who served in Vietnam. It isn't an easy read. It is powerful and life changing, if you open your heart to the message.

63. Safe House (Guardian series book 2) by Traci Hunter Abramson contemporary Christian suspense romance. Heart stopping page turner. Loved it!

64. Sanctuary (Guardian series book 3) by Traci Hunter Abramson contemporary Christian suspense romance. What a roller coaster! Breathe. Tough decisions. Great characters. Packed story. I want more, and the next book in the series doesn't come out until fall. 

65. Baxter Family Bakery (The Complete Collection Loaves and Wishes, Muffins and Moonbeams, Cookies and Candlelight, Donuts and Daydreams) by Elizabeth Maddrey contemporary Christian romance. I want to live in Arcadia Valley, Idaho. Yes, I know it's fiction. Read this series after reading the Taste of Romance series. Love the characters and the stories.

I've been receiving requests for donations from both parties.

Why? Why would I donate to either party? Both have trashed the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Both have supported the government insurance that has spawned cheating and lying.

They have bent the knee to fear mongers and turned over the running of the country to a private company that has repeatedly been wrong.

Who are the leaders of freedom? Tailors, salon owners, tattoo artists, small restaurants, small business owners. God bless them.
