don't look up

I decided yesterday to re-watch that movie because it is sooooo much like what is going on in our country today.  Lauren and I have made a pact that when the end comes, if we have advance notice, we will go down like Professor Mindy and his family along with his partner and her boyfriend.  Boyfriend delivered the prayer over a shaking table as they had "the last supper".  I hope it's quick like that if it happens.  The politics involved with saving the world is always a factor, just like in the movie.  Which brings me to the USA.

Readers here know that I am a progressive voter and despise the current administration.  I won't list the reasons because the polls are showing exactly what citizens are not happy with and it's a LOT.  As I type, there is a bogus meetingn shappening in Alaska between the "leader" of the free world and a convicted war criminal.  Ukraine has been cut out of the conversation with Trump acting as broker on the whole deal.  This can't be good.  I mean seriously, the man cant even talk sense.

The heat dome has decided to park itself in our neighborhood and it is miserable.  The next 10 days look even worse.  I have come to totally dislike summer after June.  I spent my teenage summers as a lifeguard at the Moose and totally enjoyed baking in the sun every day.  Now, not so much.

I will be the first to admit that I'm a worrier.  I get that from my mother!  The past few months....hell YEAR,  have been a real test of faith.  Lauren has a lot more than me when it comes to "God will take care of it."  I believe that, but I still worry.  My prayer this past month has been for me to have the ability to turn everything over to my higher power.  That would be step 3.  It took smacking the wall several times ( numero uno ) for me to be able to get to that point.  And it's not a linear journey by any means.  I received somewhat of a miracle from something that seemed like the end of the world at the time.  And I immediately thanked God agaim and again.  We both cried at His goodness. And we straightened our tiaras for the next leg of the journey, knowing that there will be more hard times like that.  But knowing that God is good, all the time, makes all the difference in the world.

Praying for continued faith ^j^
