HOPPIN’ AROUND

I saw a story on Yahoo! several weeks ago that drew my interest, because it brought what I consider good news concerning an issue that has bothered me for many years. Actor Leive Schreiber took his 8- ad 9-year-old sons with him to Comic Con this year.

The second day of my baseball road trip would be a long one. We woke up at our hotel in Newark, NJ and took a Lyft ride to Hertz Rent-A-Car in Maplewood. TJ had reserved the smallest car in their fleet,  Toyota Yaris.

There was one more plague GOD brought on the gods of Egypt. His name was Pharaoh. Pharaoh was worshiped by the Egyptians as the god of everything. Some thought he was the son of Ra, the sun god. This plague will be the final one and after it, Pharaoh will almost “drive” Israel out of Egypt.

GOD continues His judgment against the gods of Egypt with plague #8 which is against “Seth”, the god of storms and thunder. GOD hardened Pharaoh’s heart after the plague of hail and fire. This plague would be locusts covering the whole land of Egypt.

I recently read three articles which, taken together, painted a rather depressing view of the up and coming generation. That, in itself, is nothing new. People have been complaining about “kids these days” since at least Aristotle’s time.

A couple of months ago I got an advertisement on my Facebook news feed that tickets were about to go on sale for the 70th Birthday Celebration for the Eagles’ lead singer, Don Henley. It was billed as Don Henley and “Special Guests”.
