The third strike rule. Yup. My son playing baseball and my husband coaching taught me a lot about that. And I had to go back and watch closely to see the catcher dropped the ball. And to know the umpires got it right without replay technology! Good job baseball players who paid attention to their coaches and knew to keep running! Congrat…

Now…today….I feel like the loosing baseball team. Life in America is very discouraging. Trump attacking people that we thought were fighting with us sucks. Chick FIL A going woke sucks. Not because I eat there, cuz I don’t. But because they were supposed faith based and closed on Sundays for obvious reasons. They stopped giving to conservative charities about 5 yrs ago so this shouldn’t be shocking, but it is. People all around us dying but we aren’t allowed to speak the truth of why. I know a special needs gentleman 65 yrs old fighting for his life on life support for 14 days now. Vaxed and boosted. But it’s all just normal to all the vaxxed around him. I don’t think he’s gonna pull through. I hope I’m wrong as he is a very kind man. Grocery shopping is discouraging. It’s getting harder to eat healthy because of prices. I’m shopping quality over quantity at this point and hoping for the best. My cucumber plants got diseased and I had to dispose of all four of them. That was a bummer. Hoping to save everything else I planted.
So to say I needed that video at the end is an understatement! I needed to see a come from behind - while they weren’t paying attention - WIN! There has to be a way to get on top of these evil demons set on destroying us.
For today, I’ll smile for the third strike rule no opposing team member was paying attention to. Hopefully Ken Paxton finds his third strike rule 😉.

Yes, yes, yes! This is the attitude we must all cultivate and live by. It’s exactly the mind set of Christ. A spiritual truth that is very difficult for many to comprehend and can be very hard to follow, but we are called to do just that.
Sunnydaze, how did I miss Chik Fil A going woke? What did they do? My husband loves that chain. (I only like the peppermint milkshakes that they have during the Christmas season)
Ya they are doing the whole DEI agenda. I don’t think they came out publicly and made a thing about it. But the public is finding out. I think they were trying to do it under the radar. Probably to score their ESG points without causing their bottom line to drop and become another bud light and target. 🤷♀️
I get what he is saying but I don't get him having to virtue signal it out there. I think Uganda is a sovereign nation and that business about disrupting their government is flat-out wrong.
It is significant that Uganda stands firmly against evil sodomite perversity while the churches, the vastly greater part of them in the collective West, stand with sodomites who are busy beavers in tearing down Christian moral virtue.
The individual in question tells me all I need to know about him ... and basically no spine, no virtue and a careerist politician. And the 'abomination' is the opposite of what is claimed. My vote is that Ted ought resign the Senate and take up sign painting. Rainbow colors, of course! And apparently his favorite.
They stopped giving to charities that oppose same-sex marriage in 2019 and they hired a VP of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in ~2021. Apparently a tweet about the VP went viral, claiming they'd just hired him. My guess is they've been trying to improve their DEI score to improve their prospects as an attractive investment for big money.
Yeah, the catcher didn't run down the batter or toss it to first. Did you notice 2 runners came in? I thought one was the batter. I thought 2 on base. Um... if the batter passed someone on base... problems.
I saw both runners come in. It appears they already had a runner on but not on first is my guess. As long as no runner was on first it was legit. I couldn’t tell where the first runner was.
If you listen to the play by play the announcer says so&so at bat with 2 on base...I had to watch the video twice and I think there are 3 who come across the plate. The last one being the batter who received the third strike. Watch the umps too. They kept waiting and watching the plate for the runs to score. Great lesson for all to not give up until the ump says you’re out!⚾️⚾️⚾️
No. Not 2 runners on. A runner was on second. That runner scored. Then the batter scored because they were all out celebrating. So he ran the bases and scored the winning run.

When you are attacked by someone trying to kill you, the Law allows you to use lethal force to defend yourself. This is how men have always protected their families and their communities. But when a group of evil, demonic men execute a pogrom, a non-kinetic warfare, to destroy a society from within with the explicit purpose of killing as many people as possible through every conceivable means and impoverishing and subjugating the rest, we find ourselves defenseless to stop this or even to defend our neighbor because there is no specific identified individual who is kinetically attacking you. In spite of the mass violence being perpetrated against the community, we cannot respond with violence without being arrested as a lawbreaker. As in the Bolshevik revolution or the Nazi takeover in mid-20th century, whole societies simply submit to the murderous regime because the violent attack is unrecognized for what it is. There is no recognizable means of defense nor a recognized legitimate means to classify their pogrom as a direct attack.

Come on SunnyDaze -you know you got this. Deep breath, keep moving forward.

Thanks! Appreciate it. I’m not giving up. Just feeling a bit defeated today. Regrouping. 😉
Sunnydaze, how did I miss Chik Fil A going woke? What did they do? My husband loves that chain. (I only like the peppermint milkshakes that they have during the Christmas season)

I am not surprised by the comment. Chik Fil A appears to have gone into retreat. It seems very hard for folks to put Faith ahead of $$$. One wonders.
I don't know if this really fits in here but I got a nice sized shoe horn:

They have a VP of DEI now. Many calling for boycott.
Evidently they have a DEI statement on their website as do many large companies. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
When it is actually
Discrimination, Exclusion and Indoctrination...
Yeah, the catcher didn't run down the batter or toss it to first. Did you notice 2 runners came in? I thought one was the batter. I thought 2 on base. Um... if the batter passed someone on base... problems.

No. Not 2 runners on. A runner was on second. That runner scored. Then the batter scored because they were all out celebrating. So he ran the bases and scored the winning run.
So I stopped being lazy (miracle PTL!) and relistened/watched. The announcer said 2 on. Only two came in, on being the batter. Rutroh.
