Racketball it was. I sit corrected at the 'ole computer keyboard.
Steve offered a lot of good spiritual input---and was very optimistic, so miss that.
Concerning the chickens---we got rid of them when we went Yumaing, but as a matter of fact, picked some up about ten days ago---phenomenal critters. Who can improve on a bonified rooster crow? Ahhhh---heavenly---except for perhaps Peter. Just came in from holding a conversation with them.
The challenge around here has been overcoming a squirrels persistence.
I've put up a bird feeder and many varieties have partaken of the food offered. But they have been joined by this talented squirrel.
The latest episode happened this morning.
My wife looked out and saw this squirrel (again---see former squirrel story) eating from the bird feeder. We thought we had conquered the problem---she shooed it off and it sat on the ground and "chip chip chipped" at her telling my good wife off. Well, this wife of mine is too fine of a woman to be told off by a squirrel. She stood her ground though -- then an amazing thing happened---the squirrel proceded to go around the maze of slick empty grape juice jars we had attached up the post---then it made a terrific leap and landed on the bird feeder. Then it turned to my wife and gloated.
That was 'enuf.
The squirrel got "told on."
I went out and altered the contraptions that were designed to keep the squirrel off.
Temporary or permanent success?
Sure as could be. Out came the squirrel. From inside the house I saw it cautiously begin his mazed climb. And then a five foot fall to the ground. He couldn't quite reach it.
The "stand off" continues.
Will report later.
Yes.
Spiritual principles apply.
Coming.

†...Good morning Paul...†

Good to see you around here again. It seems like a life time ago when this thread was frequented by so many faithful servants of God.

Unbelievers with sincere honest questions are a God send.
But the unbelieving mockers of God ,with their bullying tactics, have caused the innocent, and sincerely curious, to clam-up, except for some diligent souls who now send messages and concerns through PM route. As a matter of fact it (pm route) is a God Send!!...Praise God for that means of communication.! Hats off to SI!!

I trust you and your family are doing well.
Again it is good to see you around here.

Have a blessed day
Shalom...><>
BTW...Steve, where ever he is, I know is blessing those who are with Him.
