Daily Journal July 13, 1998, By-William Thomas Thompson. This Monday morning is clear and Summer hot. My car is still in Earl's Auto. Air Shop for the 3rd time he has rebuilt it and the 5th time I have rebuilt it in one year. This old car with million miles needs to be given away to a person that really needs a car if I can get it running good, with all it has cost for a new motor and air conditioning although Earl's work is guaranteed. Bible school opened last night and I had to move all my paint supplies out of the bus so they could clean it up and out. It looked good even though some seat fronts only had blank faces painted and may not get much more for now because I have a deadline to paint art for the big Hambridge Center show this weekend at Rabin Gap Georgia near Dillard. I have never been one to plan much ahead and sometimes the Lord changes my direction and purpose suddenly. I believe we are to wait on the Lord for our daily instruction and pray for divine guidance. I have only a few cases of small canvases left to paint and then I want to switch to all heavy canvas with heavy framing so it appears stronger and should not ever warp. I am resigned to do God's will and not my own. I want so much to paint huge displays like the drive-in art museum in St. Augustine but that is hanging now by a thread as I try to please everyone and wind up pleasing no one. I am resolved. Johney Jones has left the area and in the week he was here, he went through about $1,000.00 counting what he made and what he took. The church Pastor fixed him a place to stay at a vacant house if he would only cut the grass but when he cut part of the grass, someone stole the lawn mower that is what he said happened. "The wages of sin is death." wages of a wicked man buy nothing, his word is worthless and his presence is as a flame of destruction. Disney's head was on 6o minutes last night explaining that the boycott by the Baptist has not hurt them; Michael Eisner who looks like Dracula's cousin is more than a friend to the gay world. Who would ever have dreamed that sodomy would have been an issue with anyone or that such people would ever come out of cover? Pat Robertson is said to have predicted trouble for Disney. The fires are so much like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah that God destroyed by fire in Abraham's time. The principles revealed in the Bible are there for all times, God does not ever change. In painting on the bus I see a community gone down from how I remember it as a child. The house next door has a dog with pups and the dog has mange and is in misery. I went to the feed and seed store and purchased a bottle of mange cure. All it is, oil and water for $6.95,or at least that is all the dog hide needs to cure mange is old motor oil. They said the vet wanted $800.00 to treat this dog. I am not surprised. A vet charged us $200.00 on a dog in recent years and failed to cure. As the dog suffered near death I went to this same store and purchased a spray can of simple mange spray for $3.50 and one spraying cured the dog. As of late today the family had not use the solution.
