Looking Better All the Time for America and Freedom


I am feeling especially optimistic about America. Although there are Herculean efforts to scare everyone, the plans are failing. America caught cabin fever after months of limited freedom and hypoxia from breathing through cotton.

When I am forced, I briefly use the Demshevik mask - covering my mouth and breathing through my nose.

I view China as a giant with a glass jaw -

  1. A fragile economy extended foolishly to create a global empire
  2. The largest dam in the world - Three Gorges - on the brink of failure from shoddy construction and flooding.
  3. Movement of industry back to America where it belongs. I have two friends who lost their factory jobs to China, but I do not know anyone who had Wuhan Flu.
  4. Their ideology is failing while America is asserting its traditional stance - conservative, religious, freedom-loving.
The 5 year plan to suppress and eliminate Trump reminds me of the famous quote from Admiral Yamamoto after Pearl Harbor -

“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

Trump and his leadership have motivated perhaps 50 million people to study the issues, so we knew all the players on the top floor of the FBI building before they were ash-canned into history. That never happened before.

Many more sinister characters have been exposed and joined the long grey line into oblivion or prison.

Everyone has access to The Art of War. Why is only one side reading it?


More importantly, why have so many discounted the way God works in history, using the greatest evil to effect the greatest good?




Sowing the Living Seed of the Word

This is Norma Boeckler's garden, and she designed the cover of Creation Gardening.

Ranger Bob was looking at the graphics that repeat on the Bethany video website. He wanted to see the one above.

Later, I had four copies arrive for distribution. One went to a neighbor on the next block. I saved another for PFC, a member of the Military-Gardening Group. Various items pass back and forth, such as the 3D book on the HMS Hood.

"Bob, what do you think of a 3D book on a WWII Japanese sub?" He made a face and said he only liked the Japanese subs that carried airplanes. I said, "OK. I won't let you read my copy I ordered - about a Japanese sub."

Bob said, "You have one coming?" The Hood copy was brand new, very inexpensive, and has exquisite graphics, close ups of every detail on the famous battle cruiser, lost during the battle with the Bismarck.

PFC has a big interest in gardening, so I gave Creation Gardening: By Him Were All Things Made to Bob to give to PFC. They work at the newspaper printing plant.

Bob had his hands on the book for a couple of days. He said before our latest confab on the porch, "Could I borrow a copy for a while? I picked up your gardening book and could not put it down."
Bob got the next book.

Mrs. Ichabod joined us last night as we sipped various drinks on the porch - Brazilian coffee and Diet Pepsi. Veterans Honor rose is often the favorite, but new blooms are opening all the time.

  • Bee Balm is just starting.
  • Butterfly Weed is in full bloom.
  • Joe Pye and Clethra are read to bloom.
  • Daisies are mostly in flower.
  • Oriental Lilies have emerged to bloom.
  • Borage, easily overlooked,is blooming white and blue.
  • Balloon flowers are showing off.
  • Hosta flowers attract the hummingbirds.
Bees work over the Butterfly Weed, close to our chairs on the narrow porch. Everyone enjoys watching them work over the blooms.

"Every time is different in this garden," PFC observed.

Tis.
