My wife and I took a ride over to Jetty.

This is Hutchson Island. Jeanne and I love just coming over here and see how the ocean is doing. We have been talking about going out on the boat this week. The weather app keeps telling us the ocean will be rough. Today it told us the ocean was somewhat rough. 

What a beautiful day. Hey, it's Sunday and we are just enjoying life. 

Folks' life is so short, 

Reading this morning was in John 13. Headlines Jesus Washes His Disciples' Feet. 

Jesus came into this world to serve. 13:14 to17

And since I, the Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet. I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done for you. How true it is that a servant is not greater than the master. Nor are messengers more important than the one who sends them. You know these things-now do them! That is the path of blessings.  

We all have been called to serve. That means help others as you can. 

 

What a beautiful morning.

Yes on the boat again. This time we have our daughter in law (Krista) and our granddaughter (Kashlyn) with us and heading out to catch some fish and enjoy this great day. 

I think we got to the dock around 7:30am. This is very nice and early, there was only three trailers in the parking lot. 

See the big smiles. We haven't done this is a while. getting these two on the boat. It's nice having them here.  

We are heading out east (about 11 miles) to a spot that Krisa's friend gave her last week to try fishing at. 

Hey, we tried and tried this and that. But no fish coming home with us. 

Hey, I look at this time to relax and enjoy the gifts our Lord gives us each day. family and chilling out. 

On the way in Krisa was talking with her sister on how they are heading towards the Cove. So, Jeanne told us that we will be stopping by and hang out with them a little while. 

This is Krisa's sister Katlin and her daughter. (sorry don't know her name) But we just laid around on the water and just enjoyed the relaxing cool of the water. Meanwhile the tide was going out. Not thinking of it. We tried to push the boat out a little way to make sure we don't get stuck in the sand. 

We tried about three or four times to push it out. No way is it moving. So Katlin's children and Kashin were on the beach hanging out and Katlin asked them to come out here and help us for a minute. They came out and Jeanne used the motor to pull the boat out to safer levels of water. I took the anchor out a way and put in the sand out there. 

There a storm happening west of us. I kept my eye on it, and it passed by. There was some lighting and a couple of big booms. No problems. But we said our goodbyes and started heading into the dock. Krisa and Kashlyn stayed with Katlin and her children for the rest of their stay. They will drive them over to the dock and get her car. 

Jeanne and I got in the dock and rinsed the motor and under the trailer. 

Hey since the boat has been redid. I am trying my best to keep it clean and stop the rusting that happens. Since I have been with Jeanne, I just been using fresh water to rinse everything off. But now I use this product to get the salt out and off of everything that might rust. 

Plus, I after washing the boat and trailer down with Dawn soap and our sprayer. After it somewhat dries. I spray WD 40 on the same parts that might rust. Like under the trailer. axles and brakes and anything that is medal. Even the back of the truck. The hitch and undercarriage. The rear tires and springs and the under the rear quarter panels. 

What did I read this morning? 

John chapters 3 and 4. 

Jesus Teaches Nicodemus

1 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.

2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”

3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. ”

4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.

6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’

8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

Have a wonderful day and may He bless you beyond.  

 

I think this was Tuesday from last week. My little girl just loves fishing.

Like I said she wants to go out. We pack up and ready to go around 8am. We will be heading east and try to get out a little farther than our last trip. 

It's a lot rougher than our last trip out. I think I have shared this a couple of times. I just enjoy going out and sending time with my wife. But I know she wants to catch fish and big ones. 

I think we went to about four spots and we both caught these pup sharks. We found out when we put out chum it attracts sharks. But we just want to get some fish in the boat and have a wonderful meal. Jeannce has a lot more experience than I do. But that is not catching fish. My heart goes out for her. She loves the fight and just knowing she caught a big one, makes her smile and we get a chance to eat some healthy food too. 

Well, we got home, and I was cleaning it. Plus cleaning out the salt in the motor and trailer. Our neighbor James came over and was talking to us and how our day was? Meanwhile one of his friends Troy stopped by his house. So, he went back over to his place and interduce me to Troy. We started talking about the boat and how my baby loves fishing. He loves fishing too; He has been fishing since he was six years old. So we kept talking and telling him how my baby wants to get some big ones. I asked him to wait a minute and I will get her out here to let her share. During our time, he was telling us about his boat and how it's in the shop and will not be out of there for another month or so. he was saying if you guys want him to come out and see what he knows about fishing. He would love to. He gave me his phone number and I told him we would talk it over. 

We were eating our dinner and we kept thinking about what he was saying and just while talking with him, I was very comfortable how he talked and what we talked about. We discussed the possible time we can go. Afterwards I called him and asked how about the following week? he told us that he needs to go out of town for a couple of weeks. He asked about Friday of last week. Jeanne and I talked it over, sure why not? So, while still talking with him. He asked if he could bring his younger son? Sure can. So, we told him, when I get up on Friday. we will see how the weather is and what time we will be out at the dock. I just told him I would text when we are on our way. 

Okay, now we have had this new ladder in the box for over 6 months. Jeanne and I got there and talked about where to put it. I got it up and installed. Looks great. Now we can go to the Cove and go swimming. Folks I have gained a few pounds, and it would be a nightmare for me to try to climb on to the boat from the ocean. We are very excited about how nice it looks and the fun we will have with the grand children at the Cove. 

It's Friday morning and we meet and got the boat in the water by 8am. On our way. 

We got there about 16 miles and fished, and Troy caught two King Fish. He showed Jeanne on how to figure the GPS on the boat. She found out a lot about it. Plus, he set us up lines to go bottom fishing. 

I took some pictures of all we did on the boat. But Troy asked not to be in my blog. Which I understand. He is not one to share on Facebook or anything like that. I respect that. 

So he got two Kings, his son got a small Sea Bass. I hooked a 6-foot shark. I got him up on top of the water. But right when he came up. He broke the line. The line is 65-pound test. So you can image how big he was. Honesty he was huge. But has we moved around her and there. Notice the sky on the coast was getting to look pretty bad. Plus, Troy and his son have a dinner to get to. So, we headed into shore. 

Well we got in and the rain has not started yet. Got the boat up on the trailer and ready to clean out the motor and the trailer with the Salt Away soap. 

I didn't catch these. I just wanted to show them off. It's a great feeling to see something we caught. My baby was very excited and was telling me afterwards how we can go out this next week and maybe get some of our own. 

I was cleaning the motor and trailer and troy and his son drove over to us and we said our goodbyes and looking forward maybe down the road go our again. 

I was very appreciative that he came out with us and showed us some different ways to fish and use the GPS. Plus, he bought the bait and ice too. He offers us some money for gas. No, maybe the next time. 

Folks it really was a great day for us. My baby wants to go out on Monday of this next week. Oh, that's tomorrow. 

Okay, now we have been having some troubles with the taillights on the trailer. So, I took the wing off and rewired it. On Wednesday I will be taking this all part again. I need to get it welded up. The one post broke off and I used angle braces to hold it in place. For now.  

Okay today is Sunday and what are you going to do? 

Well, my baby and I will be going to church and afterwards visit Jake, her son. Then prayerfully relax and just enjoy watching a movie or two. 

Hey, we need to be praying for our nation and President Trump. He has a rough road ahead and he needs our prayers. Plus, when I think of praying for others. I go to the Book of Ephesians 6:10 to 20. 

THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD. 

We all need to pray and keep our minds fitted on HIM. Jesus Christ. 

 

Having some trouble with the sprinkler pump.

Okay I have replaced these two sets of pipes, before.  The reason is the pump must be running without water. The pimp gets hot and cracks the pipe or the glue melts away.  The pump still works okay. 

You can see the sprinkler timer is off. But the pump is still running. afterwards. So there is no station for the water to come out of. So, the pressure builds up. 

I looked up online and that maybe this is the problem. It's a relay. 

Well Shawn came out and checked it out a sprinkler head that was not working. He told me that it's the timer, not the relay. But Shawn told me that he has a new timer in his truck. BUT COST $250.00 having installed. 

Well, this is the old timer. I cut the wires so I will not mess up. I took pictures plus wrote down the order of the wires too. 

Here is the new timer. All hooked up and ready to use. 

I bought this online for $108.00. Shawn told me this is the one to buy online. But this the cheaper one. It has 6 stations. The other one has 12 stations. 

I tried it out and having trouble programing the 5th station. I did get it programed for the 1 to 4 stations. The next morning, I got up and went out to see if it was working? Yes, all four stations kicked on and off the time I had set-up. 

Today I will ask my baby to help me program the timer. 

Folks I was reading Luke 17 and came across the title of this chapter was The Coming of the Kingdom. 

Verse 20 to 35. It talks about His (Jesus) return. The RAPTURE. Just a note, there is no verses saying Rapture in the Bible, at all. 

Please when you have time, PLEASE READ THESE VERSES. Because this will be happening, and we all need to understand HIS RETURN IS GOING TO HAPPEN. ONE DAY. 

HE LOVES YOU AND WANTS YOU IN HEAVEN ONE DAY. 

 

As I read thru my Bible each day. This was today chapters 16 to 17.

I have read this many times and I always think of the folks that I have not shared this with. So today I would love for you all to read this and understand there really is a Heaven and Hell. My prayers are for you to read this and understand that we will all pass from this earth and end up in Heaven or HELL. 

If you have any questions on anything about this. Please feel free to email me at tombahamas7@gmail.com

 Luke 16:19-31

 

19 Jesus said, “There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed in purple and fine linen and who lived each day in luxury.

20 At his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus who was covered with sores.

21 As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man’s table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores.

22 “Finally, the poor man died and was carried by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried,

23 and his soul went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Abraham in the far distance with Lazarus at his side.

24 “The rich man shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue. I am in anguish in these flames.’

25 “But Abraham said to him, ‘Son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish.

26 And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. No one can cross over to you from here, and no one can cross over to us from there.’

27 “Then the rich man said, ‘Please, Father Abraham, at least send him to my father’s home.

28 For I have five brothers, and I want him to warn them so they don’t end up in this place of torment.’

29 “But Abraham said, ‘Moses and the prophets have warned them. Your brothers can read what they wrote.’

30 “The rich man replied, ‘No, Father Abraham! But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will repent of their sins and turn to God.’

31 “But Abraham said, ‘If they won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’” 

I am so happy that you took the time to read this and see today is your day to make things right with Our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the ONE THAT ROSE FORM THE DEAD. 

Time to do some work in the back yard.

You can see how happy I am. A project we have been talking about for a month or so. 

Building two new 8-foot gates for this area. 

I went down to Home Depot and spent a few bucks. The biggest cost was the 10-foot 3/8" fence post. I needed three (3) of them. To start the gates. Plus, other parts like the corner pieces. 

Okay I wired tied the chain link fence in place that will stay there. The piece in between will be cut out, 16 feet. This area I am cutting out is a little bigger than the shed we are buying to put back here. The guy that sold us the shed needs 14 feet, ad least. The funny part about talking with him was. I was just thinking of pulling the fence down and putting it back up. He was saying maybe cut the fence out and put in two gates? Wow, Jeanne and I really ever thought about that. Great idea. I will be bring things in to empty the other sheds we have been renting. 

So, we measured out two pieces of fencing to cut out. It's 16-foot area. After I get the chain link fence out, I will be pulling out that center post  

I wired tied both sides of the area I am cutting out. 

Pulled out the post. It was not too hard to do. There was some cement around the post to hold it in place. I went back to Home Depot to buy two bags of cement to put around the post holding up the gates. 

This was the top rail going along the chain link fence. I need this to finish up the gates. 

I noticed I got the wrong frame hinges; I ordered the 1 3/8" the frame hinges need to be 1 5/8" 

See the gate post are 1 3/8" the fence post are 1 5/8" So, Home Depot or Lowes or anyone around the area don't have them. I ordered them from Amazon. They will be here in a couple of days. 

I did spray paint the gates and hardware. Looking pretty good, I think. 

The hinges came in and I put them on.  Had to do some leveling here and there. The wheels are on too. 

I had them inspected by the county. They all passed and wrote them off on our list. It's kind of funny. Jeanne and I have been down to the county office for our permits on this shed, ad least four time. I would never think that gates would need to have a permit??? But the county wants to make sure everything looks good, and they get their cut too. Jeanne asked, on the permit to inspect the gates I built last year on the side of the house too. They passed too. 

Well, the next project I have is pulling out the dead orange trees and lime tree. 

Well, folks I am asking for your prayers, for my wife, Jeanne. She is thinking about Jake's birthday coming up August 1st. We will be settling up a couple of tents at the cemetery on that day. Jeanne wants to celebrate his life by making sandwiches and other items that Jake loved to eat. We are inviting family and friends for lunch that day. So, it is getting closer each day. Please keep her in your prayers.  

James 5:13. Are any among you suffering? They should keep on praying about it. And those who have reason to be thankful should continually sing praises to the Lord. 

This were the verse that came to me to help my little girl during this time. 

Hey, each day we have something that we will deal with. We all need His help.
