My Earliest Memories with My Dad

 My Earliest Memories With My Dad

    My earliest memories with my Dad from our time in Springtown.  I remember my Dad's Kawasaki C1000.  He would ride the trash out to the front in it.  I also remember seeing him do work in the oil fields.  One time, we went and had a picnic.  That was with Mom, and my brother.  We went in his company pickup truck.  I also remember his green pickup truck as well.  The Volkswagen Rabbit.  He would work on it from time to time.  I can still hear the clatter clatter of the diesel engine.  Or, of Dad preparing toast before he took us to church.  

    In Fort Worth.  My memories there are different.  It was after my Dad got laid-off from the oil fields.  My Dad was training for the Aero Space Industry.  He would also watch my brother David and me while we played in the backyard.  One time, we were digging for worms, and I found a coiled snake.  It was spitting its forked tongue at me.  I left my brother to go tell my Dad what I had found.  I thought I had done something wrong.  I actually thought it was just a big worm.  Instead of grabbing the "worm" I told my Dad about it.  He came back with my brother and reported it was a snake.  I also remember the Jets flying over the house.  F-16s and B-52s.  Everyday they would fly over.  I think they were taking off, which is why they were so loud.  Or the train behind the house.  How sometimes a train would go by.  Or a tester car on the rails.  

    We also went camping.  At Mineral Wells.  We fished, and my Mom and brother went for a walk.  That night.  Me and my brother were spooked by some coyotes howling in the distance.  I didn't think we should be out there any longer.  So, with my brother, we went to the car, the Volkswagen Rabbit, climbed in and locked the doors.  I remember trying to convince my brother to put the car into drive.  But we didn't have the keys.  My Mom and Dad were both outside.  So, I unlocked the doors instead.

    One last memory I have is of my brother and me playing on the tracks.  We only got to do that once.  The tracks were busy.  But it was neat to see the tracks up close.  Like in a western.  It made me feel like John Wayne.

Completing This Post

 I saw this unfinished post from October 30, 2024.  So, I decided to finish it.  I cannot remember what it was going to be about!  So, I will do my best, to put a complete thought.  I am at work right now, too!  Maybe I should not be posting- oh, well. I am not even sure how to share an image here!  But maybe that is ok.  Normally, on this blog I share an image, or a video, or music.  Mostly from YouTube, because I like the platform and have supported it in the past.  But now it is not allowing me to share here, from YouTube.   Anyways, I am sitting in my car.  All day it's been raining off and on.  I guess there is flooding at this time in part of Texas known as "The Hill" Country.  At a camp, some girls were killed in the flooding!  They have received historic amounts of water. I have been researching about something known as "Epic City", it is a "Master planned" city, with Sharia Law at its root!  Sh...

In the Last Days Jesus Said: 'No Flesh Would be Saved'.... But Why?

This video is over a week old, but it is under 20 minutes long.  About Artificial Intelligence and something else- Transhumanism. Be aware of what is out there.  Don't be a sheep.  "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples" (John 8:31). This video is a brief disection of different sources on AI, and Transhumanism.  In it, the author "Watchman" contrasts it with Frankenstein.  Meanwhile, Watchman takes a look at the scripture in Luke, where Jesus describes the "End Times".  The shortening of the days, for the elect's sake.  This video will give you a "big picture" understanding of what is involved in Transhumanism in a way that you have not viewed it yet.  It is good, and as I said brief.  Grab some popcorn, sit back, and prepare to be informed.

Ukraine Invasion Continues

 Earlier this week Russia began invading the Ukraine.  Now, that invasion continues.  This video  shows footage of supposedly Russian forces firing, near Kharkov. The city is located in Eastern Ukraine.  I heard another say that Russian forces are nearing Kiev.  In the article,  The explosions were seen near Kharkiv, Ukraine, a city with a population of roughly 1.4 million nested near the eastern border and approximately 300 miles from the capital city of Kyiv, Ukraine This just shows how quickly the Russians moved.  Are we going to respond?  I don't think we can.  Ukraine is not a NATO nation.  The Russian President warned everyone about interfering, and said  attempt to intervene would lead to "consequences they have never seen." Putin did not specify what his threat meant.  But I expect most people understand, that this could be nuclear.  Supposedly, Russia and China have entered into a new partnership.  Just ...
