Daily Journal August 20, 1998, By William Thomas Thompson. "Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness”. Thursday is a day to think about the week passing and finish up a number of projects that must go out like copies of videos of the art show. I am now doing 2 hours on one Sony 160 minutes that do include some footage of the PBS Maryland Broadcast and the 700 club shot and aired while the End is Near show was on. The 2 hour tape plus comment and others added, I am making duplicate copies. "Deliver us from death" Proverbs 10-2. Getting down to business today while still unpacking from the trip and suffering the delay with problems heaped on like Janette has a problem with her 1985 Cadillac having blown a head gasket. She returned Sunday to claim our luggage on a later flight; we replaced the engine last year, the transmission, brakes, steering column, the air condition unit and more including the main belt that drives everything including maybe the water pump. She left motor running while waiting a few minutes to keep Boo Boo cool, the belt broke for about the 12th time and now another bill to fix, to tow and to do without. Someone quoted $1,500.00 to fix it now, a taxi would be cheaper but people look down on using taxis here in the South. I am to write what I do, what I think and what happens to me all in a day. It is coming too fast now to cover it all. Today I will drive out to visit my Mother at the home place and be with her for this afternoon while my younger sister and her husband are on vacation to Martha's Vineyard off Cape Cod, Mass. I do think quality time with her is very important at this time. Later my other sister, Nell Annette will come to take Mother for a ride and spend the night. Mother seems to be suffering from macular degeneration of her eyes and is not reading much now. As I drove out Wade Hampton Blvd. in front of Bob Jones University, I decided to change lanes to the right of 7 lanes, I looked to my right and again looked around all the way before turning to change my lane, yes, there was a little red car I saw too close in my rear view mirror. Where did he come from although he and his full load of passengers were most forgiving not blowing even one time? He must have changed from my left suddenly as so many now days do. I made a decision at that time to never change lanes again, it is risky. One dozen things I had planned to do like leave off my film to be developed on the way have to be canceled because of time starting late and I cannot be late to be with Mother. Thank God, I did not wreck or cause a wreck. I am an excellent driver and very safe and even fast but driving with road rage is dangerous today as apart of people are more and more dare devils on crowded highways. The last battle will not be with soldiers, but with bombs. Now the news of Clinton bombing the Arabs in Afghanistan and the Sudan comes at a convenient time with a war like speech at 5 p.m. to tell the American people what and why he has done. When Clinton left the vineyard the Press Corp happen to be watching the new movie "Wag the dog". This movie is about a president that starts a war to avoid impeachment over having sex in the white house with an inappropriate person. It is hard to believe that this movie is being played out in real life like a bad dream. Those that bomb in retaliation are fueling the last battle when all of Arab bombs will explode on the world and all will be destroyed and suddenly is morning. I picked him up on my way. There he responded to an invitation to the altar to be saved or resaved in what the church calls "reclaimed", after the worship service Johnny went out with the church group to the Ham House Restaurant for lunch and then he called me from his motel. Johnny told me he had a job with a roofer for 2 days and he did thank me for my help. Helping people is part of our Christian duty. Even if people never say thank you. I serve God by faith. I believe we are living in the very last days when the Revelation prophecy is being fulfilled as is all Bible prophecy we can see.
