Monday morning is exercise class so I set out all the things I need to take: water, money, keys, glasses. Then I go upstairs to get ready. I go in the shower, begin to wash, realise it's Monday and I shower after exercise. Especially important today as I'm meeting a friend later. I haven't seen her for a long time and I don't want her to recoil at my odour.
Dress, drive to exercise class, get out of car, realise I've left my money - in a neatly labelled and dated envelope - at home.
My friend lives on the other side of town in an unfamiliar to me area. The way today is going I could set off and never be seen again.

Under Milk Wood was very good. Swansea Little Theatre is an amateur company but with some very talented actors. Dylan Thomas himself was a member of Swansea Little Theatre in his time, and appeared in various productions.
Yesterday was a quiet day. Church in the morning, followed by Welsh practice, writing, and cooking a roast chicken dinner.

I have never felt so invested in the result of the US election. That a man like that could be standing for President is unbelievable enough; that the polls - allegedly - say it's a close race, even more so. That he is considered the 'Christian' choice just finishes me.
I apologise to my American friends for those Christians who support a man who mimics fellatio on a stage in front of hundreds. (That's the just latest thing that needs an apology. Listing them all would take all day.)

That man is beyond belief!
He's clearly in later dementia, inhibitions gone, train of thought off the tracks. About the media portraying it as close? Allegedly is a good word.
They believe that a flawed leader who does good things is better than someone who does the work of the devil. And what is that work? Accepting abortion, gay marriage and redefining gender.
I have no words for the ignorant Americans who brought him this far. Please God let Kamala Harris be the next president and the first female president! I don't want to ever enter the USA again. even though I live practically on the border to Washington state!
Found it! Sept 6th 2016 in my blog shows a photo of our visit to Llareggub .
Say a prayer for the USA and the world.
Will do.
Inexplicable that so many still support him.
I hope the media are wrong.
So rape, vile language, etc etc aren't the work of the devil?
I think we all echo that prayer.
A quote from Twitter:
“ I am an evangelical voter in Pennsylvania.
Donald Trump could have had my vote had he not started to support most kinds of abortion and vowed to fund IVF with my tax dollars.”
It is about protection of the unborn child, protection of traditional marriage etc etc. not about the person, about what he has said he would do.
And the comment continues with:
“ None of this was necessary. I would have voted for Donald Trump or any other Republican candidate who vowed to protect the preborn and end mass child sacrifice in our nation.
If the Republican Party wants evangelical votes, they cannot shirk evangelical policy priorities, and most importantly they cannot shirk their duty to obey and honor the Triune God and govern in their offices with justice and righteousness.”
It's so depressing.
For an apparently progressive country, the USA is way behind the times.
I agree completely. Thank you for not assuming I was a Trump supporter. I was merely answering your question. Having said that there is a certain logic. If you believe Roe v Wade permitted slaughter of unborn humans and believe same sex marriage is a terrible sin, it makes sense to vote for someone who you think shares your views.
Currently reading “How to Lose a Country” by Ece Temelkuran. Google it if you wish
Yes pray for the US. I am so tired of all of it!

I'm a Christian who believes in the gospel of love of Jesus; I'm not sure of the Jesus the evangelical right follows.
Let's pray they catch up today.
Praying, Cathy.
I am a humanist and find it depressing that people quote Leviticus 18:2 and then look completely baffled when you remind them of Leviticus 11:7
