The patience of Job.







Keep working the job.

Dave Ramsey.  Beans and rice.  Rice and beans.

There's lots of guys in worse shape than I'm in.  But that's no excuse to quit working.  Coach Prime isn't going to stop working and he ain't hard to find either.  National championship baby.  You know that's the only thing on Coach Prime's mind.

And Dave Ramsey is not retiring by any stretch of the imagination.  And I'm sure Matt Furey is out there somewhere.  I'll keep my goo-roo watch blog going and keep pushing out paychecks from my remote work headquarters.  It is a privilege to have such a good job as I have and I am glad to have it.  My good old manager Maurice just lost the battle to cancer.  Earth is a lot poorer and heaven is a lot richer.

He's up there with Mom and Dad now.

Meanwhile down here.  If you're reading this I'll assume you are still down here.  Now it's possible that you are reading this after I am long gone.  That would be the dream of any writer I suppose.  To have his books sitting on library shelves and being read and enjoyed for generations after the author has left this earth.

Defense wins championships.  I'll read the good book and have the patience of Job.  And keep working my job.  Beans and rice.  Rice and beans.  And I'll be sending some to pastor Murray.  I like what he says.  Tithe where you are fed.  I will get from his library the Strong's Concordance, Smith's Study Bible, and the septuagent.  Maybe get a nice leather bound copy of the Apochrapha.  Now there's an author who has his book sitting on the shelves all around the world and for thousands of years and still being read and enjoyed today.

And standing apart from every other book the good book lays it all out from beginning to end.  

And for a little extra credit maybe some good old Herman Melville and Moby Dick.  Or some Last of the Mohicans or Drums Along the Mohawk.  Maybe I'll try to find a book that was written by somebody like Daniel Boone or Davy Crocket.  Had a good one back at Ma and Pa Kettle's place about Kit Carson.

One thing is sure, you will never get to the end of all of the good books that there are to read.

God bless America.

The Weight Game

Well I wonder what Coach Prime is doing this morning.  He's got a national championship to win and he's got a lot of competition.  I want to start following the Virginia Tech wrestling team a little bit closer too.  I'll ask conspiracy Joey if we can bet on collegiate wrestling.  Betting is something that I  have never been interested in but I find it interesting that Zach and Joey and others seem pretty dead sure that the entire thing is rigged.  And when it comes down to an argument when I was a kid it was always settled by a bet. If you ever got in a sports argument with another kid it would always come down to ok  let's bet.  And that pretty much was the end of the argument until the last second clicked off of the clock.  As soon as the bet is placed now it's time to go to work.  Hit the weight room, run your practice plays, watch your diet, read good books, get plenty of rest, don't go out and rob a liquor store on Friday night.  Coach Prime likes to coach

Vaccine passport.

Well the vaccine passport crowd is back in full force at my house again.  Telling me I got to take the jab or I lose the job.  Well I may just take it.  Just like paying all of the money I make from the job to the IRS.  Men have had tougher lives than me throughout history no doubt.  Pastor Spell had a tough go of it.  Rodney Howard-Browne would tell me to tell them to take a hike.  Coach Prime got his and makes all his players take it too or they don't play. So probably I'd say 50, 60, 70 percent of Americans have taken the jab.  So why not just take it and keep the job.  Thirty or forty years from now or maybe sooner I'll have moved on to the next life anyway.  What remains to be seen in this life probably doesn't matter a whole lot as long as I believe in Jesus Christ.  Father, son, and holy spirit.  Only thing that matters.  God bless America.

From the desk of Doug Kenline. Don Trump gets out of bed every morning just like everybody else I suppose. I guess this morning he might be looking at his calendar and thinking about his upcoming presidential bid.  Then he will check his email and surf around on Truth Social for awhile.  Probably took a big poop and got on the scale before he choked down an extra large breakfast burrito at the Mara Largo outdoor patio in south Florida. Up north in Talahassee Ron Desantis does bascially the same thing. Warren Buffet does the same. Joe Biden is probably still in bed breathing through his oxygen mask.  Jill probably sleeps in another room with some of the hired help. I like how the LIV is taking on the PGA.  Trump tried to take on the NFL back in the day.  Don't know if he made any money or lost any money.  Doesn't seem to have hurt him too bad.  He made good friends with Herschel Walker bringing him on board with the New Jersey Generals.  Now Hershel stands to become a united Sta
