Musings

Posted on 13.October.16 by mog

Been a long while and a lot has happened. This is Quentin, Chicky’s baby with Uma, my sister’s cat. Just found she has more on her Facebook page too. Beautiful cat, adorable grandnephew.

Uma and Quentin

Other one Debbie sent.

More Uma and Quentin

About to get a new family member as Debbie’s youngest is soon to deliver. Very exciting time.

Update: Havee and his baby brother, Kade. Beautiful baby looks like his daddy, Kyle.

Have and Kade

Then there’s my health situation which I briefly discussed on Facebook. Not going to go into too much detail just know it is worse. It’s a MS thing. Speaking of which, it’s kicking in.

Little more detail, I had been in the hospital, had lots of tests, they figured out what I said all along that it was the MS. They gave me IV SoluMedrol per protocol. Not entirely fixed and will have more testing. So far, they have concluded my breathing is not effective, weak from the MS so I am short of breath and have angina. That hurts worse than my trigeminal neuralgia. Sucks!😡

Far better than what’s happening on the political front copiously covered on my Twitter page. From WikiLeaks email dumps on Hillary to Trump’s campaign tanking lots are happening. Too many links just get on Twitter. Or check the news.

Welcoming Quentin

My sister sent more cute baby pics. Quentin is home and doing fine now as you can see here. Havee and Quentin, adorable boys here.

Angie, Willow and Quentin. Angie is Willow’s mom.

I never tire of seeing cute family pics.

I do note the blog posts to Facebook. I just got done listening to Glenn detail all the information Facebook stores on us. Safe to say everything you do online they have from purchases to bank account balance. Stuff you never gave them. Scary stuff.

Absolutely Adorable

Willow and kitty, think it’s my new favorite pic of her. My sister shares nothing but the best.

Willow and cat

Not sure I would get that close considering that’s the kitty the cows pick up and lick. Maybe after cat has washed lol!

Anyway, had to share something cheery. News isn’t. Family is, most of them. Now it’s back to loving the kitty.

Prayers

Posted on 20.August.16 by mog

Just got a beautiful new grandnephew but he isn’t doing so well so prayers needed on his behalf. My niece is downright gorgeous in this photo my sister sent me. Note the whole family is beautiful. I told my sister and my niece that on her FB page. She might be a little busy to read it. All my sister’s children and grandchildren are beautiful. Good genes.

beautiful family

I know I’m a little absent on the blog. Just been so busy on Twitter I haven’t had time for much else.

Searching

Posted on 31.July.16 by mog

FamilySearch and Ancestry.com that is. Got a email saying I had Pioneer ancestors so spent the morning checking Family Search, all on collateral lines just like the two Presidents I am related to, one of who signed this document.

declaration_stone_thumb_295_dark_gray_bg

Pioneers are those members of my church that fled persecution, well extermination, and crossed the plains settling in Utah. Previously, the only pioneer ancestry I knew I had crossed the ocean on the Mayflower. To escape religious persecution. Country was founded on freedom of religion.

After church, I was back at it, inputting what I had into Ancestry.com and cross referencing with the records there, I then put the missing data into Family Search. It filled in the blanks, adding what had been done. Then it was a matter of clicking to see just who I was descended from. Lots of kings, obscure Anglo Saxon kings, then some names I could recognize: Jacob and Leah, Isaac and Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah… Shem, Noah… Methusael, Enoch… Seth, Adam and Eve. It stops there.

It’s not the only line that goes back that far, just was one I hadn’t researched. There are a lot of dead ends, more as I go back. It will be fun figuring those out as records thousands of years ago weren’t well kept.

Another really nice thou not related thing is I stayed awake all day. This thanks to their ramping up the pressure on my CPAP machine after my sleep study results came back. It was my sleep apnea all along like I’ve been trying to tell them for almost a year.

Trust In God

Pray. #VoteYourConscience Don’t stay home.

An excellent article on why he and I will be voting our conscience.

The bailout plan. And be knowledgable. Great evil is afoot.

On the right, Glenn Beck lays it out nicely.

Relevant Ivanka’s speech. Toward the end she states:

Come January 2017, all things will be possible again.

Contrast that with Matthew 19:26.

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

One of his ex-wives, Marla Maples said of her father:

“He’s a king,” said Maples when I interviewed her. “I mean truly. He is. He’s a king. He really is a ruler of the world, as he sees it.”

Trump says those that found his speech totalitarian were “Haters.”

Some takeaways from his speech. Quoting Trump, he starts out with:

Beginning on January 20th, 2017, safety will be restored.

For most of America there is no issue. High crime stats are in typically Democratically controlled cities. How he will do this is most troubling as it points to martial law. He plays to people’s fears. Given enough terror attacks or a major one, people may be fearful enough to elect him.

Anyone who endorses violence, hatred or oppression is not welcome in our country and never will be.

Guess that includes him cause he has encouraged his supporters to commit violence against opposition, even offering to pay their legal fees, his supporters who have threatened people including me, other Republicans and Constitutionalists who he considers haters for not supporting him. And most of all Ted Cruz who didn’t endorse him and he attacks daily.

On the international front he intends:

Lastly, we must immediately suspend immigration from any nation that has been compromised by terrorism until such time as proven vetting mechanisms have been put in place.

That would include all of Europe, and practically every where else, dumb PR.

There is a bit more troubling too if that weren’t enough. He has connections which doesn’t even address the scandal that got Debbie Wasserman Schultz booted from chairing the convention and party.

Oh this get more mysterious by the day. Glenn explains all on his show Wednesday. I can hardly wait.

Very Suspicious

Posted on 06.July.16 by mog

FBI Director James Comey recommending no charges against Hillary Clinton for her extremely careless handling of classified email putting the security of the country at risk. He detailed a litany of offenses including she used multiple devices not one as she claimed and multiple servers lacking even the security of G-mail. He couldn’t prove intent despite the email instructing staff to remove headers and send unsecure and her destruction of email, both red flags showing intent. He didn’t address her lying about it every step of the way either. Timeline here. However, missing from the timeline but mentioned in the article is Attorney General Lynch’s meeting with Bill Clinton days before their interviewing Hillary. It is very convenient that Comey’s announcement preceded President Obama’s stumping for Hillary on the campaign trail and as noted by Ted Cruz, devastating for the rule of law.

The Clintons are above the law, can get away with anything that lesser humans would spend jail time for committing a felony. And this is who the Democrats want as President. Can you imagine this extremely careless person in charge of our nuclear codes. How long before our enemies gain them and use it against us.

However, it should be remembered on policy there is no difference between Hillary and Donald. Picture credit my Twitter feed. Probably no difference on destruction of our freedom.

Hillary vs Donald

We are doomed unless Congress acts. Thankful for Ted Cruz continuing to investigate this travesty. This is not going away.

Gone Too Long

Posted on 26.June.16 by mog

Again. I just don’t post. Why just keeping up with my Twitter feed is enough to keep me busy. A lot has happened since I last posted. Most on Twitter.

Do I have any new pics? Maybe, maybe not. iPhoto had crashed and just rebooted it. Slow adding from the cloud. Kept getting http error but finally got one to load, the pre-Brexit one. Stocks were flying high on the polls favoring a stay vote.

IMG_2504

And the post-Brexit one. Surprise, the regular folk, not the elites, want their country back. Was a bit of a shock.

IMG_2515

Here’s all the Brexit news in one spot. Course, could do like I do, check my handy stock app on my iPhone. The FTSE 100 is London’s stock exchange top 100 which one would probably want to follow if concerned about Brexit, Britain’s exit from the EU. Probably a good thing for Britain as I doubt they want to be ruled by Germany. Angela Merkel has pretty much destroyed Europe with unfettered migration. Governments are supposed to vet people, keep us safe. I’m not suggesting we not accept refugees, just vet them as there’s ISIS among the refugees. We’re not exactly doing that here either. Our government feels Christians are as big a threat as radical Islamic terrorists. Last I checked, no Christian has committed mass murder in the name of religion.

Brexit deserves following as other countries may exit the EU. This bodes ill for the EU’s survival and globalists dreams of a one world government. It also may give rise to nationalism of the wrong sort, fascist regimes. And aid the feckless Donald Trump in his quest for the White House. I make no bones about being #NeverTrump. At the very least, he has not run his campaign on civility, decency, honesty or consistency in his positions. He changed them multiple times in just one interview with Bret Baier. To be fair, I am #NeverHillary too. For obvious reasons involving email, possible indictment, Benghazi for starters. Her positions don’t favor freedom of religion either.

Speaking of religion, Elder D. Todd Christofferson just gave the most eloquent speech on the threats here to religious freedom with an excellent history of religion in America. I hope they post it, will link if and when it’s up. That was probably the best part of my day as I left church early due to my health issues still unresolved. My friend is very attuned to my health and takes me home when I am unwell. I see the doctor this week and will find out the result of my long awaited sleep study. It got done finally, yay!

The Birthday

Posted on 02.June.16 by mog

Many thanks to all my Facebook friends for the birthday wishes. I did see them all, just only commented on a few as there were close to 100 which is a lot.

I’m rather glad they were able to post as I changed my settings so posting on my wall requires approval to avoid scammers. Every now and then Facebook changes it’s settings and I have to tweak it.

It was a lovely, hot day but not as hot as Saturday where it is projected to top 118. I am so not going out Saturday. Mostly I slept as I kept falling asleep at least that’s what I figure happened. Just have the horrible not breathing, gasping for air and losing time. I can’t wait for my sleep study.

I did go out in the evening as my daughter took me out to dinner at my favorite Masa Sushi. They have so many choices, no way have I tried them all. She knows what I like thou. Lovely present.

Here’s a pic of my daughter and granddaughter.

Jill and Raela

Our server took a pic of me. It is on the wall somewhere. Jill took a pic of the pic too but I don’t have it yet.
