Hello to you. I hope this finds you well. It’s starting to feel like fall here in Idaho. The trees are changing color and shedding their leaves. It’s getting darker earlier and the temps are getting lower. Fall is one of my favorite times of year minus having to clean up leaves from the neighbors yard!

My thoughts are turning to seeing the hurricane damage from Helene and Milton. I am thinking about the people and animals that lost their lives. I know when I have been in such circumstances I have drawn closer to God as I understand him. I can remember one of the couple times Kyle and I were almost flooded out of our home and survived a tornado touching down near our house. I was forced to let go and let God because I was truly powerless! I can’t control the weather! Its a very humbling experience to face such fierce occurrences. I can remember watching the waters rise to our front windows making the lawn chairs float. I was so worried but Kyle just kept reassuring me not to worry. Everything ended up being alright. Neither one of us were Christians at the time but I did believe in God. These scary times made me look outside myself for help and it came!

Now that I am a Christian I don’t have to wait for a crisis to believe in Jesus Christ. He is always close and ever present.

James 4:8-10New International Version

8 Come near to God and he will come near to you.Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts,you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Competition

Hello to you. How are you doing today? I’m doing ok just kind of in a holding pattern to hear whether or not the offer I put down on a house is enough. I am living in a state where it almost seems like people are walking the streets with fists full of cash on a giant Monopoly board.

Sometimes it doesn’t feel like it is a fair competition. From what we are being told a lot of people are leaving California and coming here. I can’t really say too much as I am a transplant from Texas. Some of the similar things that are happening here were happing in Texas too. We got way more than we originally paid for our house.

I want to look at fair competition in the numbers:

“fair competition” in the English Ordinal system equals 173 (one all vices in check and yes, no, may be existence)

“one seven three” in the English Ordinal system equals 155 (one all the senses all the senses)

“one five five” in the English Ordinal system equals 118 (one one in eternity and or on the racetrack of life)

“one one eight ” in the English Ordinal system equals 117 (one one all the vices in check)

“one one seven” in the English Ordinal system equals 133 (one yes, no, may be and yes, no, may be existence)

“one three three” in the English Ordinal system equals 146 (one left side of the brain all vices in check but one)

“one four six” in the English Ordinal system equals 146 (end of pattern)
