After finally conquering the shock of finding a sewer roach in my bathtub, I finally was able to get back into the tub again this morning. I am still seeing that horrible critter crawling around in there, and I do not dare to forget it to make sure it doesn't happen again.
I had ordered two items from HSN this past week when on special, and today both have finally arrived. One is a skin regimen, and the other a Dyson fan. But alas and alack, the fan did not have the remote that is supposed to come with it so I had to call HSN to complain about it. They are going to send me another and when it gets here, I have the choice of either fan with the remote. I told a banker about it who suggested that I keep the one with the remote since they should work together properly. He has a point1
I love the fan. It is making the living room more enjoyable and livable since I turn the air conditioning off in the evening. But the air distributor keeps it cool. Outside the area of the fan it is not so lovely but so long as you can feel the air, it is wonderful. But without a remote, I do not have use of the oscillating part of it. I am wondering how it works on this particular fan. I am really quite skeptical about the entire fan right now.
Other events of the week which are simply news stories include the capture and killing of a prisoner escapee in New York state. Odd at the way this prison break is playing. One can only wonder how much of it we should believe, since it is a story that has had so many twists and turns that it is hard to buy into it at times. Can a prison be that lax that this escape plan could be carried out so well?
Europe has been under attack in three locations: France, Tunisia, and Kuwait! All seem to be orchestrated ISIS attacks. Serious trouble there.
Funerals are being held for the men and women killed in Charleston, South Carolina. Some nut case by the name of Dylan Roof took upon himself to travel 120 miles to carry out an act of vengeance on innocent church going people. What kind of idiot this young crazed kid is has been cussed and discussed over the media. He hated the American flag, hated black people, so he picked a black church with a high reputation to carry out his madness. Fortunately, the church people have been so good as to forgive and to act honorably in this very serious matter. To think that this young man entered this church with a weapon, sat with these people during Bible study, and then stood up to shoot and kill them is unbelievable. It makes no sense to me, but any more in this crazy world, people get worse and worse all the time.
The t.v. is showing Barack Obama as he ends his eulogy for the pastor by singing Amazing Grace. He startled the congregation who finally rose to sing it with him. It is interesting to watch him as he tries to lead them in song, and he does have a good voice. Surrounded by all those members of the church around him, he looks pretty small and thin in comparison to the powerful men who stood behind him.
Gays celebrated the Supreme Court's decision to allow gay marriages as legal under the constitution. It seems odd that this was ever a question but gays have had Barack Obama as their champion so that the public has been changing in attitudes about gay rights so that the liberal members of the court voted 5 to 4 to acknowledge their right to legal rights in partnerships.
They are celebrating loud and clear. Hopefully, this will not be an issue in the election because the Republicans have been trying to write amendments to protect the marriage of heterosexuals for a long time. Scott Walker tonight sounded like the idiot he obviously is about this subject by suggesting that we make an amendment to the constitution regarding marriage. How dumb can any one be to even suggest such a thing?
But Rubio and Bush were rather mild in their disagreement, Rubio saying the right thing the right way. Surprise! Surprise! The only Republican who made sense. I wonder how they think they can win elections making the stupid statements they are so noted for doing. But Rubio at least said that it is the law of the land we must respect it even if we disagree with it. I do not know why they can disagree to legal protections. This is a civil matter, not a church matter.
I do not deny that Jesus says quite plainly that marriage is between man and woman. But I hate to say this but some would change that if they could. But it is clear. He also says that angels do not marry, that in Heaven there is no such thing as marriage. the resurrected are as angels, and do not marry.
But then, all was passed from word to mouth for years before it became written, and I honestly wonder at anyone who can ever believe anything that is passed generation from generation by word of mouth. Even the old handwritten probably had changes in the words...so it goes...I am happy to believe that in Heaven there is no marriage. Since marriage is for the flesh to procreate and to have wee babies...no need for reproduction of spirit in Heaven.
On that note, good night!
