It really neat to watch our new school being built right here on the same property that the old school is standing.



This was the first part of putting up the walls (Oct. 29th) at our NEW WESTWOOD HIGH SCHOOL. Our Principal, Mr. Alfonso tells us that all of the walls will be up before the end of November 2024




This is November 1st. It's kind of crazy how they pour the walls on another slab and let it dry and put the legs (supports) on and then pick the wall up and set it in place. 




Okay some more walls coming up. This is November 3rd. 



This is November 6th. 



November 8th. 






November 11th. 



It's looking like they will make is happen by the end of the month. November 13th 



November 14th Looking good. 



Its sure look like the front is ready for the main getters and supports. To fasten the walls together. 
They are saying in December 2026 the school might be opened. 





I just was driving by Rocket Fuel on Indrio and Turnpike Feeder Highway. Yes, this is in Fort Pierce. Yes, you are reading this correctly. $2.15.9 for a gallon of gasoline.
See our NEW PRISDENT ELECT TRUMP IS MAKIING IT HAPPEN ALREADY.  
Not really sure why the price was so low??? 
But it sure a nice surprise. 

Well folks it has been a while since I have taken the time to do my blog. 
Today I am in the Book of Revelation. Chapter 15 and 16th. Here it talks about the SEVEN BOWLS OF THE SEVEN PLAGUES. 
Yes, this is talking about the end times. The seven bowls are filled with TERRIBLE WRATH OF GOD. In Chapter 16th Then I heard a mighty voice shouting form the Temple to the seven angles. "Now go your ways and empty out the seven bowls of God's WARTH on the earth." so the first one horrible, malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and worshiped his statue. Then the second angle poured his bowl on the seas and became like blood of corpse And everything died. Then the third angle poured his bowl on the rivers and springs and they became blood. 
Folks there are still four more angle that will be destroying a lot more things and people.
I have two (2) questions to ask you. 
First one, when you pass from this life to death, where do you think you will be going to? 
Heaven or Hell? 
Next question is why do you think that answer?  
Well, I have the correct answers. The Bible talks about in The Book Of John 14: 6 Jesue told him, I am the way, the truth and the life . No one can come to the Father except through me. 
Then Jesus talks again about being BORN AGAIN. The same Book of John 3:1 to 8.

One of our favorite discount stories.



I guess you really can't see the writing on the glass doors. It reads, buy one dozen eggs for a $1.00 and get one free. OR BUY A CASE OF EGGS FOR $1.99 AND GET THE SECOND ONE FREE. Wow, I think this has been one of our great fines. 


So I bought three (3) cases for 
$5.97 and got three (3) more for FREE. 

This store is called United Against Poverty. I joined this store back when I first moved to northern Florida. 2016. 
Now as I just get Social Security. I am under the earnings to belong to this store. 
Okay what did I read today? As I am reading the Bible everyone morning I am in the Book of Revelation. 
Wow now this is a Book of the Bible we all need to read. The first Chapter is talking The Son Of Man, John has been exiled to an island called Patmos. (Just a note) As I was living in the Bahamas (2005-2015), Pastor Chet started up a program call Patmos. He brought in collage age (24) students to live there at the Adventure Learning Centre. I think it was a 4-month program. Well, if you want to know more about that. Look back in my blog during (News Letter) November 14, 2006. Okay back to the book.  It is talking about the end times and the first three (3) Chapters are talking with the Seven Churches. Well, folks these churches are being told that they all have some troubles. Jesus Words are in Red. So, He is the one speaking to John in these. Chapter 2 and 3 are about the churches themselves. He is telling them; they have some strengths but have some sin to deal with too.  
While reading these chapters it is like living in our times now. 
Please take the time to read Revelation. 
I have been trying to figure out how to get into my older Blogs. Just put in Patmos in the search area.

I am back at Wayne's and Linda's home.













Okay Wayne ordered a new electric, wheelchair.  So, by looking at the landing. As he will be coming out and in this way. he needs to be able to turn the wheelchair to get in and out. So first of all, I took down some lattice work and railing. Then cleaned out under it and around. so, I can build it out a little more. After moving everything out.
 

I just pulled all these lawn tools out and will put them back under the new landing. Oh. plus, he had a bunch of fishing poles up on a shelf above the landing. 


You see I reused this gate again, below. 


 I put up 4x4x72". Using the boards that were already there. I predrilled the decking boards and lifted the 4x4 up and screwed in from the top side to hold it in place. 




I ran another 4x4x72" on the side of the shed. Plus, I put legs on both sides to keep it strong. The electric wheelchair weights about 600 pounds. Then I just cut the decking boards and started screwing them in. 


I didn't screw the boards in yet. I wanted to make sure everything lines up proper. 
Oh, I did make one mistake. I was short one 26" board at this end. I found a 2x4 and cut sister supports and put another piece of 2x4 on top and then screw the two shorter decking on top. It all worked out beautifully. It's even strong here with the 2x4's 


This lattice was right in front of you as you come out of the door. I cut the post off level with the older boards. It really is kind of neat how my Lord just helped me work smarter and just save parts that i could reuse. 



Looking at this (gate) before. All I did was turning it upside down. Mounted to the 4x4's.  Now it a bearer to keep the dogs from winding off. 
Oh, I needed to cut the 4x4 ends off so it all lines up. 


Right after I got the last board screwed in. I just cleaned up. Then put all his lawn tools and fishing poles under this new deck. Great for storage now. I asked Wayne to go get his new wheelchair and let's try it out. 
He rolled it out on the landing here and it made it so much easier for him to roll around and get lined up to the ramp. 
Linda came out and told me that is looks great and she is very happy that now Wayne can come out in the new with his new wheelchair and have no worries about getting in or out. 
Like I told you earlier My Lord is my helper, and He made this happen. 
Folks if you know me, sometimes things work out and sometimes don't.
 BUT I KNOW HE WAS THE ONE THAT MADE THIS HAPPEN. 
Okay what I read this morning? 
Hebrews 9:11-12. 
So, Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things that have come. He has entered that great, perfect sanctuary in heaven, not made by human hands and not part of this created world. (12)
Once for all time he took blood into that Most Holy Place, but not the blood of goats and calves, He took his own blood, and with it he secured OUR SALVATION FOREVER. 
Hey this is the greats news ever. 
My pray is that you have a relationship with Jesus Christ Our LORD.

Well, we have settled down around for now.


On Sunday after church, I took down half of the shutters. I really don't' like sitting in the dark. So, I took down two panel of each window that had four. I did pressure wash the house and shutters. There was a lot of cobwebs and just dirt on the walls and shutters. 
I would really like take down all of them. But Jeanne was saying why, we have about a month and half left for hurricane season. It ends Nov 30th. 
It makes sense. They are not fun putting up or even taking down. After the 16th widow I am a tried little boy. 
The pictures don't show this. But I wrote on each one what number window they go to, how many panels plus the length of each panel. 
Now I need to make a lay out of each window and number them and put the panels in order. 










We are so blessed to have a beautiful home and having the shutters to feel even a little safer. 
This storm was a lot more damage for the neighbors with branches and just needs to be cleaned up. 
We were very blessed and highly favor by our Lord Jesus Christ.
What did I read this morning? And popped out to me? 
Titus 3:5 to 7
He saved us, not because of the good things we did, but because of HIS MERCY. He washed away our sins and gave us a new life through the Holy Spirit. (6) He GENEROUSLY poured out the Spirit upon us because of what Jesus Christ our Savor did. (7) He declared us not guilty because of HIS GREAT KINDNESS. And now we know that we will inherit eternal life. 
NOW THAT TO ME IS A BIG WOW. 
Please if you have any questions on my time with the Lord. I would love to hear from you. Email me at

I got a call from Wayne and Lynn, need me to come over and set up their generator.


As I was driving down Kings Highway. This is at Angle Road. This is the road that Westwood High School is on the east side. Now I can understand why they lost their electricity. I wrote about that yesterday. 


This is a landmark. Big Al's Red Barn Store. 


This is still Al's 


I am heading north on Kings Highway. You can see that the tornado ran thru here. 


My friend Roy use to buy his lottery tickets here. I guess they are packing up and moving on. This was a Citgo Gas Station. I guess they are draining the gas out of the tanks. 


This is the Lakewood Park Methodist Church. They just put this new roof on last year. 


As I drove up to the entrance to Spanish Lakes Country Club Village, I was stopped by PSL Sheriff. Asking do I live here? No, told him that one of my customer's called and ask me to help him set up his generator. I am not really sure what this was. I think this was a mobile home. 









As I was driving around, I just got so overwhelmed. I was just so much damage. Plus, I even got lost.
 I had to pull over and get out Google Maps. Almost all street signs were gone. 
I got over to Wayne's home. We talked a little to see what has happen. Then went inside and rolled out their generator. Big their unit is 10,000 watts. This could run two homes or more. Hey, they got this about two or three years ago. The reason I know this is I put it all together and didn't start it up. The reason was built inside their house. Wayne told me that when we need it will be ready. I rolled it outside in front of their house. Meanwhile a guy (Jason) came over to see if he could help us. He works for FPUA (Water Department). I had him read the manual to see how much oil we need to put into the generator. I and him could not see that at all. I just started pouring the oil in and watched to make sure it didn't overflow. It took the whole quart. Hooked up the battery and tried it and the battery was dead. I pulled the rope starter, and it took a few pulls. It started up and even ran well. 
I bought two larger extension cords with me. I ran them out and got them in place where they wanted the cords at. I left them with lights, TV, Inernet, freeze and refrigerator. They are all set for a while. 
I left there and stopped at Roy's home. They must have gone out to dinner. 
Talked with a neighbor Vince and he told me that they were okay. 
I started home, thinking about the Crossing Community Church, I drove there and saw a couple of guys out front, I saw a sign saying free meals. I asked one of the guys there, is everything okay here? 
He told me yes. I saw the hurricane shutters were down. I guess they are ready for church today. 


This is Lawnwood Elementary School, across street from the church. I guess this is one of the power companies parking lots. 
Well, folks as I drove away, I just said THANK YOU FOR YOUR GRACE TO KEEP US SAFE. 
I read this morning 1 Timothy 2:3-6 This is good and pleases God our Savor, for he wants everyone to be saved and understand. (4) For there is only one God and one Meditator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus, (6) He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at the proper time.

I am still asking for prayers for all the folks that are still without power and water. 
Remember these folks are retired and might not have family to help them. 
Then looking on to the home destroyed where are they to go? 
I heard this morning on Facebook, that Wynn's (owners of the park) meet at the club house yesterday at 1pm. They went over some paperwork about if you lost your home you need to release back to the park, and they are selling their home at a discount to people. 

 

It really neat to watch our new school being built right here on the same property that the old school is standing.
