I didn&#8217;t realize how exhausted I was.&nbsp; It caught up with me since May 1st.&nbsp; <br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I felt bad I didn&#8217;t get the next Book in The History done for John Lennon&#8217;s birthday October 9th.&nbsp; I know he understands and wants me to do it right.&nbsp; I did see him and my husband Gerald in the hospital before the surgery just for a second.&nbsp; And for his birthday I went out to lunch at the local diner, one of Gerald&#8217;s favorite places, and had a yummy home made chicken stew with a biscuit, cranberry sauce and cole slaw.&nbsp; Then I picked up a few things at the grocery store.&nbsp;&nbsp; To finish the day I went to my usual bingo game in the community room.&nbsp; I sure John had a good day.&nbsp; <br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#8217;m recovering nicely from the surgery.&nbsp; I will have to go back Monday after using eye drops for a week and wearing an eye shield every night.&nbsp; I imagine I&#8217;ll find out when they&#8217;ll do my right eye then.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp; Now to what&#8217;s happening in the world.&nbsp; Of course the biggest news is the sentencing of the Penn State former assistant football coach for child abuse.&nbsp; I refuse to use his name here.&nbsp; He gets up to 60 years in prison!&nbsp; They say he&#8217;s 68 years old now.&nbsp;&nbsp; I pray he finds no way out of it.&nbsp; In my opinion they should&#8217;ve given him the death penalty for all the suffering he&#8217;s caused.&nbsp; Like our friend Elgard would say what a waste of oxygen!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Speaking of more wastes of oxygen, what about the shocking news about The Taliban deliberately wounding two young girls on a school bus, because one of them, Malala Yousufzai, is a 14 year old Pakistani activist.&nbsp; She has exposed the Taliban&#8217;s atrocities, and promotes girls&#8217; education in the face of religious extremism. She is one of God&#8217;s favorite daughters.&nbsp; She began writing her blog when she was 11 years old, under the name Gul Makai, for the BBC, telling people what life under the Taliban is like.&nbsp; Then in 2,009 she spoke out publicly promoting girls&#8217; education. The Taliban hates especially this, and were quick to claim responsibility for her shooting.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It has provoked outrage across the country.&nbsp; Prayers to her and the other young lady.&nbsp; May justice be done on her behalf.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ha ha ha!&nbsp; Obama has made Sesame Street mad at him.&nbsp; He used Big Bird in one of his ads as a&nbsp; shady criminal mastermind behind many financial scandals because of Romney&#8217;s statements he&#8217;s going to cut funding to PBS.&nbsp; The Sesame Workshop has objected to the ad stating it is nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that does not participate in political campaigns. They don&#8217;t endorse political candidates.&nbsp; They&#8217;ve asked Obama to stop using the ad.&nbsp; Now also several others have asked that the ad be stopped, like NBC, MSNBC and CBS.&nbsp; Obama&#8217;s spokesperson says they have received the complaints and are reviewing their concerns.&nbsp; Wouldn&#8217;t it be something if this is just what God needed to stop Obama?&nbsp; Unfortunately Romney would win, but there would be something just so priceless about the sweet and innocent Big Bird character kicking Obama&#8217;s butt, so to speak.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This election day Maine will be voting on rather to legalize gay marriage or not.&nbsp; Last time God was very pleased with the outcome.&nbsp; Residents stood with him and said a resounding &#8220;NO!&#8221;&nbsp; Let us pray the voting goes the same way this time.&nbsp; But like they stay in Star Wars &#8220;I have a bad feeling about this!&#8221;&nbsp; The way things are going in this country concerning gay marriage, I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if the people voted the other way, for the sickness.&nbsp; I hope they prove me wrong.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I hope this is not becoming a trend with singers.&nbsp; I heard about Justin Bieber throwing up on stage during a concert a while back, now someone has said Lady GaGa did the same.&nbsp; What the hell?&nbsp; I don&#8217;t think fans will be very pleased.&nbsp; Though like a friend mentioned with Beiber it&#8217;s difficult when you go to different places on tour, different time zones and such your body really gets messed up.&nbsp; However he said he still wanted to be there for his fans.&nbsp; You gotta admit, the guy has courage.&nbsp; I&#8217;m sure his fans understand and are sticking with him.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Things out there in Manhattan are pretty bad when a co op takes away a 93 year old woman&#8217;s parking space she&#8217;s used for 31 years!&nbsp; Her son who is a retired policeman, is trying to get it back.&nbsp; His mom, who has 17 grandchildren, was paying about $120 to park her car there.&nbsp; She is on a limited income.&nbsp; Now she&#8217;s being forced to pay $550 a month for where she has to park!&nbsp; Literally highway robbery!&nbsp; I hope she gets her place back and at the same price too.<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Support The National Buyers&#8217; Strike!&nbsp; Save America, and, the world!<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Be sure to check out my blog The Spiritual Connection, for my recent messages.<br clear=\"all\"><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.voicesfromspirit.com\/wordpress\"><strong>http:\/\/www.voicesfromspirit.com\/wordpress<\/strong><\/a><br clear=\"all\"><br \/>A Servant Of Him<br \/>That Dwells In<br \/>The Holiest Of All<br \/>That Is Now Resting In Los Angeles<br clear=\"all\"><br \/>P.O.
