An Update

As I told you, my posting will be more erratic since I started working full time on 3rd shift in a gas station. Also, my wife’s heart rate was over 160 beats/minute last Tuesday night. I took her to the ER where she was admitted and underwent a battery of tests over the next few days. Her angiogram was rescheduled from Friday to Monday and they found no significant damage. We were blessed with much support from family and close friends and an amazing staff at Swedish American Hospital. She’s supposed to come home today, which is good, because the house is way too quiet. I’ll post what I can as often as I can. Thanks to Chrissy for keeping things going in our little garden.

Oh most gracious and merciful loving Lord and Heavenly Father, You know and supply all our needs. Thank You for Your compassion and loving kindness. We know You are with Pistol and Mrs. Pete and that Your rod and Your staff will comfort them as they walk through this time of illness. Please heal her heart with Your divine graces and also give knowledge, inspiration, strength, and love to all those who minister to her. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen.

In My Little Town

Not so little, actually. Goony birds spray painting on Republican headquarters, now a fight breaks out at a Pee Wee football game between parents and coaches and a coach pulls a gun. So much for teaching your kids about fair play and honesty.

Red-state Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp says she will vote no on Kavanaugh


She’s already 10 points behind in her race in a state Trump won handily. Wonder what her payoff will be for falling on her sword?

Heidi Heitkamp, a red-state Democratic senator who faced increasingly long odds of re-election this fall, said Thursday that she will vote against confirming Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

They’ll Never Be Satisfied

Flake’s backstabbing maneuver to buy the Democrats another week of wasted time was not enough to satisfy them. Nothing will be until they’ve buried this nominee.
