Bubba Weekend is here.

Just a short post.  It is Bubba weekend and I can't wait to see everyone.  I pray for everyone to have a safe trip in.

 I am thankful for friends and family who get to share the weekend with the Bubba kids.  For our kids this year they get Bonnie and Mike.  Mom and Lynn had them last year. E asked yesterday if Granny and Lynn were going to come up to stay at Grand-mommy and Papaws with him and Gman this weekend.  I had to tell him no but hopefully  they will be here next weekend for the Pine wood derby with the cub scouts.  It should be 2 good weekends.  

Thanks again the Bubba wives for putting up with us.  

OK I was trying not to be political tonight but this is a great video.

Glenn Beck

I usually try not to listen to Glenn Beck.  I do not avoid all conservative talk on radio or TV but I just can not stand Glenn.  I remember some of the stuff he use to do on the radio in Louisville and just assumed everyone thought he was an idiot.  The time in Louisville also is when he has admitted to be on heavy drugs.  I feel that explained a great deal of what he said and did.  Now he claims to be clean and sober.  He still seems very crazy.

I started looking a little harder at him this weekend.  I know the internet is not the most reliable source but this is on the web so do I really need footnotes?  Per Google search Glenn is a Mormon.  I think this brings a large light to his present TV and radio programs.  He is seeing the end of the world.  He is taking his religion, mixing in conspiracy theories, and his on personal addiction problems to come up with a world that is out to get him and his followers.  Here is a good article from Joanna Brooke, (who if you read the page is an award winning writer which I never will be).  

I will not make a judgement on his religion or his personal trials and tribulations.  I will go back to my first thought about Glenn and say I still think he is an idiot.
