Do not pray to God for our country to settle down now and get back to some kind of normalcy. Some people in our country have acted so ugly and shamed our great nation. The good people of our country by far outweigh any bad ones.

The virus is still among us and taking so many loved ones from our lives. This vaccine will, I hope, curb the virus and we can get it contained in time. It’s not easy for any of us to have to stay away from our family and friends, but it is necessary for the time being. We just have to be patient and wait this virus out.

Found out that daughter Kristie loves so many of those rock and roll songs that her dad, “Aubrey” and I used to listen to back in those wonderful years for us in the sixties when we were dating. She informed me she and her sister, Carolyn grew up having to listen to those rock and roll songs from her dad and my earlier years. I guess things got out of hand with the music and we didn’t even know if but the girls didn’t seem to suffer too much from it. I’ve got to talk with the other daughter to see if we scarred her for life with this rock and roll music, too. I’m laughing so hard about what Kristie has told me that I didn’t have a clue about but am so glad she’s carrying on the rock and roll tradition of her dad and I because evidently the music stuck.

Please keep in prayer: Wendy Hildreth, Rose Watts, Charlie Mai Daniel, Jeanette Smithson Helen Nixon, Talmage Young, Ronald Lawson, Marie Johnson, Ethelene Pedigo, and the families of Repsie Pedigo, and Donna Kay Knowles, Betty Sims, and Henrietta Hale.
