The cold hard reality of dirty politics came out with the revelation this week that Hillary Clinton’s campaign with her approval paid for hackers to spy on Donald Trump just as he claimed a few years back. Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation has “accelerated,” and more people are “cooperating” and coming before the federal grand jury trying to save their own hides and they are implicating her . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/02/chickens-come-home-to-roost/

Fishing has been great so far in Costa Rica. My son, a friend, Dave Demos, from the keys, and I, caught 15 out of 16 big Pacific sailfish day before yesterday, and yesterday we fished exclusively for marlin and caught 2 out of 3 blue marlin. Both were super days of fishing . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/02/living-it/

I had a slack day in Costa Rica yesterday. My son and a friend from the Keys didn’t show up until late afternoon and there was no fishing today. So, I decided to scan the news and see what was up . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/02/hey-remember-freedom/

I saw a video clip one time of people being asked to name as many of the Ten Commandments as they could remember. To my surprise, none of the people could name even one. Young and old took part in the survey at a mall. Now when they were asked to name ten brands of beer, they immediately rattled them off with precision and when finished acted quite proud of their accomplishment . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/02/name-ten-beers-2/

I was fortunate enough to make the trip to the 80-acre compound that serves as Chick-fil-A headquarters to meet with billionaire Chairman and founder Truett Cathy. Although he was getting on up in age, he was as mentally alert and as sharp as any 20 year old you might meet. It was one of the most interesting meetings that I’ve ever attended . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/02/giant-of-a-man-2/

Throughout life I have encountered more than my share of lazy people. It seems that some are so lazy they feel that they must rest before going to sleep. Laziness is soundly condemned in the Bible. It started in the very beginning where God said in Genesis 2:15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/02/too-lazy-to-crow-for-day/

I am in Costa Rica and every morning I sit out on my veranda. As usual today a big flock of scarlet macaws descended upon a tree right in front of me. They were happily and loudly squawking and jabbering away in macaw talk and stretching their brightly colored scarlet wings in the sun. Soon enough they found what I assumed to be a weaker member of the flock and start picking on him . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/02/peace-and-harmony/

My daughter-in-law’s father passed away last week. During some of his final moments, she asked him to send her a ladybug when he made it to heaven. So yesterday she walked into a room and sure enough, there was one ladybug in the room . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/02/comfort-from-above/

Sorrow is a monster! Worry is its companion. Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it compounds it. I experienced incredible sorrow and was grief-stricken when my brother committed suicide. I’ve never gotten over it . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/02/sorrow-is-a-monster/
