1914 TOP STORY- OF THE WORLD?
Posted a few pics from our visit
with John David yesterday.
He’s doing better- but they
wanted to re open him up- and do another procedure [heart].
He prayed about it- and wants to
avoid going under the knife again.
I was at the mission during the
day- and I saw David’s brothers- Huey and Andy.
They wanted a ride to the
hospital to see their brother- I was more than happy to take them.
I do want to stay in touch with David-
and do the halfway house thing with him.
But- as we were at the mission-
sure enough someone called the cops.
Why?
We didn’t know.
So a couple of cars came down-
and they were looking for some guys.
Huey just took off- told us to
pick him up around the block.
Then we [I] put 2 and 2 together-
it seems like he was going to sell some drugs to another guy- and somehow they
must have been heard by the mission people.
That’s what is seemed like to us.
So I told Andy ‘look- I told your
brother the other day [Huey] not to be carrying stuff with him when he’s in my
vehicle’.
I was mad that he ruined his
chance to visit his brother- he did get prepared to see him [he was cleaned up
this day].
So- we saw Huey a few blocks
away- he tried to get in my van- I told him forget it- you got the cops chasing
you- your in all types of trouble- we don’t need that.
We left him there.
So- we went and visited David.
I met Jackie there for the second
time.
That’s John David’s girl.
They told me the story how they
met.
Jackie was living in another
state and she saw John David being interviewed on CNN.
Yeah- he told me about this a couple
of years ago.
He started his first half way
house at his sons apt- and somehow the word got out- and CNN did a nice story
about it.
So- Jackie- a drug addict [who
still struggles] saw it and said ‘If I can get to this home- he can help me’.
So- she made it to Texas and
knocked on the door.
John David had no home for girls-
but he took her in.
They became a couple- and that’s
how they met.
His son eventually lost the apartment
they were using [it actually was a facility that was already set up like a
halfway house- what a ‘coincidence’.]
And since then John David has
been looking for another house.
But- he needed the heart surgery
for a while- and he figured he’d finally get it out of the way.
All in all we had a good day- I
had John [my new friend with the little dog] - Henry- Andy with me for the day.
We came back to the house and had
a good fellowship time.
Let me mention a little news as
we end the week.
The other day I caught the world
‘news’ on all 3 stations [abc- nbc- cbs].
The top story on all 3 staions
was the Romney ‘hidden’ video.
Okay- I saw the stupid thing when
it first came out.
Big story?
Not really.
A story?
I guess it should have been a one
day thing- I mean you have these silly things pop up on both sides.
You had the Obama thing a couple
of years back ‘clinging to their God and guns’.
So- they all do this.
But- it was maybe 4-5 days later-
and the world news- all 3 stations- had this as the top news story- well- of
‘the world’.
I couldn’t believe it.
So- I channel surfed some cable shows-
and came back to the main news.
They still had the video of Romney-
parsing each word he said- showing the video with the captions- 9 to 10 minutes
into the top news story.
I mean this is so bad- it is not
even funny anymore.
‘John- what’s wrong with this?
Well- a story like this should be
a one- maybe 2 day thing.
And it should have never been top
coverage- on a very busy news week.
What should the top story have
been?
Regardless of who you back
[Romney- Obama].
The top story should have been
the fact that the Libyan govt. has come out and publicly said they warned the
U.S. that they can’t provide security for the embassy in Benghazi.
You basically have [had] a public
disagreement between the White House and the Libyan president.
And by all accounts- it looks
like the Libyan guy was telling the truth.
Now- politics aside- this is very
important.
Did the U.S. [whether Obama-
Bush- Clinton- anyone in charge] drop the ball on the protecting of our
ambassador in Libya?
And- the top story of the
protests breaking out in the Arab world- against the U.S.
Okay- the news did of course
cover this- but when you have real hard news like this- then you don’t run a 10
minute top story about a stupid hidden gaff from anyone- Romney- Obama- anyone.
And of course the other ‘top
story’ was the topless pics of Kate Middleton- I mean on the world news?
This is not world news- maybe
Enquirer type stuff- but not world news- that deserved coverage on all the news
channels- as a top news story.
These examples shows you how
bankrupt our media has become.
I do watch/listen to both sides
[right/left] and frankly both sides of the aisle do this.
I told my friend the other day- I
hear the radio guys every week- and because I comment about stuff like this I
try and hear as many as I can [Rush- Hannity- etc.]
Sometimes I catch the whole show-
3 hours.
But there are times where for 3
hours- all you get is a constant drumbeat of anti Obama.
Okay- I have criticized the guy-
lots.
But if you have no constructive
thing to say- for 3 hours- then what are you accomplishing?
So- that’s the scoop.
I’ll try and add a few notes to
last night’s pics- and hope you guys have a good weekend.
Please continue to for John David-
he looked much better yesterday- but he needs prayer- thanks so much.
John.
Note- Do me a favor, those who read/like
the posts- re-post them on other sites as well as the site you read them on.
Thanks- John. Don’t forget to scroll down on the timeline [Facebook] - I have
posted lots.
