Every down

-
I write often about my dog Bucket.  He's a character, to be sure.  Me and Buck.  Don't know what I'd do without him.  He's over there on his side of the bed, snoring.  He's quite content.

When I got up this morning at seven to take care of some personal business, Katie was on the bed too.  I went out to the kitchen to get a drink of water and when I got back, Katie was in my spot on the bed, head on my pillow, and wasn't gonna move for nothing.  I moved her and she grumped and we got to sleep again.  But not without Bucket getting into the act.

He's very jealous.  He wormed his snout in so he was closer and that's when I thought to myself that Katie will come up and hang out when she wants to but Bucket is different.  He's an "every down" kind of dog.  It's a football analogy.  Bucket plays every play.  He's always underfoot.  He's always right there whether I'm happy or not.   If I was gettin' too close to the girl, Buck was right in the middle.  Let's just say that Bucket was either a good middle linebacker or an excellent CB. (double entendre intended in this case!)

Anyway, he's always there; even when nobody else is.

As for me, I'm glad to have him along for the ride.  This chasing lions business is tiring work and it's good I have a companion to do ti.

And part two....

What I've learned lately, I'm trying to apply to the oddest thing I've ever faced.  I mean that.  Over the years I've learned that when you lose, it's best to lose and walk away.  But this time, walking away seems to be not part of the plan.  It's like being forced to watch as the decision you made has consequences you could never imagine, and having to watch them as they play out. Running away isn't in the cards. I deserve that.  I mean that.  It's a blessing because it will keep me from being stupid tonight. And tomorrow.  It kept me from being stupid yesterday, etc... You get the idea. Whatever your opinion about where I'm at, where I'm at is where I am.  And this is what the Bible has to say:  Psalm 127 v1:  Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. From Jeremiah 10:23...Lord I know that peoples' lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps. From Proverbs  16:1  To huma...

At least I can laugh about it!

The papers say: DALE L COOPER IS NOT THE..... I had to laugh because it was my Maury moment.  I'm not making this up; they say it just like that in bold type and all capital letters, like they're shouting it from the rooftops! I wonder if all caps and bold type in legal documents have the same significance as capitalizing things in an e-mail. There's a story here about why God is always good and His timing is impeccable. I mentioned earlier I had to get a copy of my divorce decree for my employer so they can verify some information I provided to them.  That is gonna have to wait because I got some papers in the mail from the State of Utah who is stepping in to set aside a portion of my divorce decree so that it meets their needs.  They need to undo something that got done through no fault of my own. When I quit fighting the former(?) Mrs., it was this issue that I gave in on. So today, I get to send my employer the information I got in the mail and hopefully...

The Declaration they made.

-
 Tomorrow is Independence Day.  It's the day we celebrate the birthplace of the idea of the United States of America.  Constitution Day comes later this year.  On the 4th, we celebrate the document signed that signified that Americans wanted to be a free people, under self-rule and free from the tyranny of their king. In the opening salvo of the document, they clearly point out that the rights they believe all men should have are given by their Creator.  According to the law of non-contradiction, the truths they hold to be "self-evident" (great words, are they not?) about how the Creator of the Universe blessed them with being created equal, says that for these words to be actually true, the Creator must be.  He cannot not be and have the Declaration of Independence be a truthful document. Our freedoms in America hinge on that document.  The people then fought a war over it.  We've been fighting wars ever since to keep and protect those freedoms....
