On February 1st Jeanne and I took drive over to the Jetty, Fort Pierce.




It was blowing and just a real chilly day here. Jeanne wanted to see how the ocean was acting. She has heard the waves were up to 12 feet high on there.
Well, we all bundled up and came on over. 


The water looked pretty calm. But you can see how thew waves have pulled most of the sand away from the shoreline. 



The two pictures right above are from May 24th 2025. 


These pictures are from last Saturday Feb. 2026. You can see how the ocean has changed the beach line, there is no more beach here. 
Really not sure why? But it seems that each and every 3 or 4 years the Public Works (hires a crew) sets up pumps and a barge in the cannel and pumps sands out the cannel and onto the beach here. 



You can see Presley has his own jacket too. I think he has two different kinds. But it seemed like he was enjoying himself. Plus, you can see that my little girl like wearing her mom's sandals 


On the way home we stopped at the beach that goes along the causeway on Hutchinson Island. 
Well folks I was sitting here, trying to find something that might interest you. I hope it did and will try to keep up on the blog. 
Hey, I do something else to share. Have you ever thought about what happens after to die? What would you like your family to do with your body? I have already set up and paid for it. I will be CREMATED. 
Well, where am I going with this? 
I am reading in Ezekiel chapter #37 to 38. I have talks with folks before about, if you are cremated, what happens when the RAPTURE? 
I am so glad you asked that. In Chapter 37 talks about God talking with Ezekiel, 



I know it really doesn't explain about the Rapture. But I can tell you this, 
Just before the Rapture happens, God will call up all the people that have passed before this time and restore their bodies and make them all new. 
Hey, I have been too, many funerals lately and just talking with family members, the cost is crazy. 
You are buying a box to keep your body in, that will be in the ground. 
A quick story, my dad passed back in 2002. Well, I was working at Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale at the time. I did set up and break down of events. So, we had funerals there too. I would talk with funeral directors, and I became friends with one. Well, my dad passed and I heard from him the next day or so, he told me to give him a call if I needed anything. Meanwhile, my mom, Florence, and one of my sisters went to the funeral home to make arrangements. Meanwhile, my dad told us that he had already paid for what he wanted. The woman was explaining about the plan my dad had gotten. They would lay him out in a real nice casket and then bury him in a (like Tupperware) box. Wow, Florence told me that will not happen. So we started looking at caskets, that was an eye opener. The one she wanted, say, cost $3800.00 (2002) Okay I asked if I could leave the room and make a phone call. Which I did.  I called my friend up and asked about a casket, if he would, have it? He said that he does. I asked him how much? He then asked me how much are they asking? I told him $3800.00. He started to laugh, not about my dad, but the cost for the casket. He told me Tom, I have it right here and I will deliver it to the funeral home there in Boynton Beach for $770,00. (something like that)
So, as I am getting up in age, thinking, why have someone spend a fortune on a mine funeral? I found out a company called Neptune. That deals with cremation. Signed up and paid $50.00 a month until it was paid for. I think it cost me $2,000. I have heard there are different other companies that do it too. The cost might be lower. I liked Neptune, during the time I signed up, I was doing a lot of traveling and the deal I have is, wherever I die, they will take care of everything. It I was in Israel they would ship my remains back here and take care of it. 
So, folks as I know a lot of folks my age, have not even thought about talking with anyone about this. 
From experiences I have heard and seen. Please get things in order, so your family will not have to deal with it. Plus, this way they know what you want. 
I know this is not a subject people like to talk about. But take the time and do talk about it. 
I am so glad you took the time to read this, and I really hope it helps when you do talk about it.
