So, here it is a few days later on, not too much has changed in the world, except in the FIFA World Soccer match, Italy has defeated France in a penalty shootout. Sadly, one of the great French players was ejected because of a head but to the opponents chest. I say sadly, because fouls do happen, whether intentional or accidental, but this RED CARd was given to the player, after an official had seen it on the screen, not something he had seen with his eyes while the play was going on. I believe umpires have the responsibility to only call what they see.

Can you imagine what would happen if each officials call was subject to review on the big screen before you were called safe or out. It just shouldn't have happened that way.

Well, on a more positive note, I finished the book of Isaiah yesterday morning, and started Jerimiah this morning. As I have since 1962, I try and read the Bible through each year, and have done so in almost every year. I read it straight from cover to cover. Used to read it 3 chapters each day but Sunday, and 5 chapters on Sunday. This year, I am reading 4 chapters each day, and seem to be ahead of what I was reading the other way. If you haven't done it, try and do it for the rest of this year, and start fresh next January 1st.

Donna found out Friday she has an impacted ear canul, that is mispelled, but can't find the right way to spell it. She is taking powerful steroids to correct the problem, and I think its working. She has a bad cough to won't let her get a good nights sleep along with the ear problem. We are hopiing it will be corrected before we fly to Iowa for Harold & Donna Mae's 50th wedding anniversary celebration.

Will sign off for now. Hope you have been successful in finding this Blog.
