Friday, October 23

5:34 a.m. - Another day of the week...another blustery, cold, rainy picture out the window.  I had a dream last night that I was officiating basketball, which had me waking up happy.  I was curious and looked up the amount of money I had made at this time last year compared to this year, and I'm down about $3,500...ouch.  I watched the debate last night between Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden, and it was a lot better than the first one.  Mr. Trump is definitely the smoother talker, and Mr. Biden was more prepared with information.  It will be nice when election day gets here.   I'm going to have  a busy weekend.  Tonight I'm going to watch Cole in The Rocky Horror Picture Show in Rock Island, and then Saturday and Sunday I'm scheduled to umpire in Bettendorf.  Youth softball teams playing softball in mid-October with temps in the 40's...what has this world come too?

Prayer for My Heart

Holy Spirit...

Help me have... 

    a pure heart, that I may see;
    a humble heart, that I may hear;

    a heart of faith, that I may abide in the spirit. 

                                                                     Amen
