Well still sick... but coughing better. Did you know this is Code Blue week, so no doctor calls, only emergencies. Not that I go to the doctor but still what a way to protest. So I was out mowing yesterday and came up with the following thought... if chlorophorm A and B allow photosynthesis, and thus grass to grow, why couldn't we engineer A to only partially photosynthesize, and thus deactivate the growing mechanism but still have the green healthy look. I told you I was sick...
PS... I still miss my Friend

Do you know how much I miss my friend... Why can't I just let it go...
Anyways... a cold has hit the Beufmeister... and I need to get out and finish mowing today... and I feel like Crap on a holiday.
oh well, misery loves mowing... later all

Greetings my fellow citizens, lend me your ear...
Church yesterday was typical, I just wish my dear pastor would keep his sermon's short and sweet. I am old school when it comes to religion and a sermon shouldn't take much more than 20 mins to get across. Any more than that and your teaching. But this reverend has been consistantly an hour and half on just his stuff. Now don't get me wrong, I know that if God wants to work he should, and if the spirit leads don't interfere. But sunday after sunday, consistantly long... I believe by merely wearing the congregation down till the spirit moves is not a good way of pastoring. I think that this pastor wants to hit a homerun every time at bat... to use a baseball analogy. He is good enough to just hit it in the ballpark, I know and that is why I like him, he is really a youth oriented pastor. But I think he is not confident in his own abilities that he believes that he must hit is out of the ballpark, EVERY SUNDAY. The only problem with that, is the older folk in our church can't take the length of time he preaches. For example my brother only comes once and a while now cause he can't take the preaching for that length of time, and doesn't wish to get up in the middle of a sermon to leave, so he is forced to stay there until this reverend is done. Now if I didn't have all this upbringing in the church, I am afraid I wouldn't come for the same reason. My pastor is good enough not to merely induce spirit by Attrition. Here is how my perfect Sunday would be...
9:30-10:30 - Sunday School
10:30-10:40 - Greetings, birthdays, anniversaries, prayer, and offering
10:40-11:10 - Worship service(Singing and praise)
11:10-11:40 - Sermon
11:40-11:50 - Invite for prayer
11:50-12:00 - Annoucements and closing prayer
Here is it right now(this past sunday)... (roughly accurate except for sermon can last 2 to 3 hours)
9:30-10:30 - Sunday School
10:30-10:45 - Greetings, prayer, and offering
10:45-11:20 - Worship service(Singing and praise)
11:20-12:40 - Sermon
12:40-12:55 - Invite for prayer
12:55-1:00 - closing prayer
Ok, enough ranting about my church... which a do love...
So after weeding, fertilizing, and woodchipping the raspberries, I got a minute to go over to Grandma's house to visit her. Wound up playing with all the kids most of the time... (when I say kids I mean, Alex and Madi (D&C Kids) and Morgan & Jalayna(A&E Kids)) Kayla really had a good time plus I got to update my website photos. When I did get to talk to Grandma, she wasn't doing too well, she has been sick for the past few days just didn't look well, but her spirits are as high as ever. I also got to see Ed and Joyce and their daughter Amy, my Step sister-in-Law, you figure it out. It was a good time with all of them, then I gave my film camera with some film to Amy so she could take some photos today when she goes to an art show.
Well, I am off to do some rototilling before I do my running for the day... Later.

Did you ever notice how when you miss someone, you wind up dreaming about them. This has been the norm for me the past week. Except last night was really screwed up... let's just say it involved Julie and was incredibly screwed up. Anyways last night I had a really good time in at D & C's, a game of Life and of 9 card was fun. The word for last night was fester... to find out more... you'll have to talk to D & C, or J & H or even A... they would know... well I am off to run the computer at church... Later

Just had to revist my blogger, since I am very critical of Cat who hasn't posted since March, and here I am, I haven't posted since November last year... I guess I am being very Hypocritical. Well anyways... How am I today... just peachy, I guess. I miss my friend... only problem is, I am missing her on purpose... well some silly yet justifable reason. I have started to connect but she now seems to be giving me the cold shoulder. I think she just doesn't understand and I believe she doesn't care either way... But then again I MISS HER... Then of course there is someone for which I burn a minor torch for, lets call her Julie. Stuck up, snobby, yet with a body that just doesn't quit... I think I could well, that is for another blog. Well, not bad for a post... Later
