Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.

5 Years Since Your Transition, Austin!
July, 24, 2015. I just want you to know, I'm thinking of you, Baby Brother. I know you don't like me to call you that, but you will always be my baby brother. Love you.

Farewell, My Brother, My Friend!
Two thirds of the 3 amigos are now gone. Harold Michael Newell transitioned Friday evening, July 11, 2020. He lasted 5 years plus since the doctors gave him only months. Harold was his own man and he was not afraid to die. He was just too tired fighting death for so many years. Death can be relentless and torturous. He finally beat my brother down. At least I got to speak with while he was in good spirits. Harold was my friend since childhood. Our friendship lasted over 56 years. Now he and Bobby can go fishing. I miss them both.
You are in my prayers, Dorothy.

And So It Goes...!
Many
People Will Stop Loving God
2 Timothy 3:1-9, 13 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
1
Remember this: There are some terrible times coming in the last days. 2 People will love only themselves and
money. They will be proud and boast about themselves. They will abuse others with
insults. They will not obey their parents. They will be ungrateful and against
all that is pleasing to God. 3 They
will have no love for others and will refuse to forgive anyone. They will talk
about others to hurt them and will have no self-control. They will be cruel and
hate what is good. 4 People will
turn against their friends. They will do foolish things without thinking and
will be so proud of themselves. Instead of loving God, they will love pleasure.
5 They will go on pretending to be
devoted to God, but they will refuse to let that “devotion” change the way they
live. Stay away from these people! 6
Some of them go into homes and get control over weak women, whose lives are
full of sin—women who are led into sin by all the things they want. 7 These women always want to learn
something new, but they are never able to fully understand the truth. 8 Just as Jannes and Jambres[a] fought
against Moses, these people fight against the truth. Their thinking has been
confused. The faith they have and teach is worthless. 9 But they will not succeed in what they are trying to do. Everyone
will see how foolish they are. That is what happened to Jannes and Jambres. 13 People who are evil and cheat others
will become worse and worse. They will fool others, but they will also be
fooling themselves.
2 Timothy 2:25-26 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
25
You must gently teach those who don’t agree with you. Maybe God will let them
change their hearts so that they can accept the truth. 26 The devil has trapped them and now makes them do what he wants.
But maybe they can wake up to see what is happening and free themselves from
the devil’s trap.
Note:
We don’t know when the last days are. I believe that even if we did, some of us
will not change and simply ignore it. For all we know, this generation will not see them. Times are
rough but we don’t have to make them rougher for others.
Keeping you in my prayers Dorothy and Harold.
