President Joe's Wish List

 Joe Biden gave his version of the state of the Union speech.  The chamber holds sixteen-hundred people but there were two hundred people in there.  They didn’t interrupt as often with applause.  Biden spoke softly and didn’t project like Trump did.  The speech was well written but the delivery was a little flat.  Much of the last part of the speech was just a recitation of all of the bills that Biden to pass.  The speech ran for over an hour which surprised me.  The medication guy came while the speech was in progress just after seven.  Then I went out for a smoke.  Then I caught the Republican response given by that Black guy from South Carolina.  I can’t figure out that speech.  He said he was for everything Biden was for but he says Republicans had their own bills but the democrats wouldn’t consider them because they want the socialist agenda and Washington interference in the family.  He said it was Trump who got the vaccines out so quickly.  He said that Biden wants to keep the schools shut to deny children an education.  He spoke of his own adverse dealings with the police.  After this speech was a lot of talking head commentary by the news media.  I had it on four the entire five and coverage went till eight.  Hence I didn’t not see Two and a Half Men.  After this it was Chicago med.  I went down at nearly eight thirty for cough medicine at the med window.  I had the TV on till maybe ten to nine.  I slept better than I did the night before.

I went to the Bible Study a little after two.  I had a Cactus Cooer first.  We listened to a couple of worship songs.  We studied Romans seven and eight.  Rose was in attendance but she didn’t read.  I read quite a bit out of the “new living translation” that Elizabeth uses also.   Since the law is given a human metaphor that means when the law dies it’s like a husband dies and the woman is no longer bound by the marital laws but is free to remarry.  There is the line about doing the things you would not do and not doing the things you should do.  Who will deliver me from this body of death?  If Paul has the right to ask it then so do I.  I feel like I am in a body of death sometime.  Romans eight has the lines of “There is now therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.  There is also Paul’s favorite scripture of “All things work for good that love God and are called according to his purpose.  The next verse says we were all chosen ahead of time anyhow.  Then we did a lot of intercessory prayer.  After this it was about three twenty and I went and laid down.  We had a BLT turkey sandwich for dinner and Fritos.  We had amberosia for dessert.  Since I was tired I ordered tea instead of juice.  But I was so tired I didn’t notice much of a lift.
