Tim Tebow was a guest on one of the FOX NEWS Sunday night programs. I believe Tim was the spokesman with a message — directed at me — from GOD, my Heavenly Father. Tim was talking about the difference between being “planted” and being “buried.”  The following are my words as I was inspired by Tim’s words. We may think that we are “buried” in loathsome situations, but, in truth, God has us “planted” where we are. This is confirmation of something I have honestly believed. God brought me to this location as a missionary. I’ve been depressed and discouraged, but I didn’t pack up and move.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, 99th year. I’ve been watching the parade as long as I’ve owned a TV set (can’t remember the first year). Watching… long before I knew that Rowland Hussey Macy is the brother-in-law of my 6th  cousin 3x removed.  “No,” I’m not “climbing the family tree” on this special day. Furthermore, the preparation of this blog message was during commercials (too many commercials). Checking the Internet for information, I copied this bit of information. The parade hadn’t started, but the story used “past tense” in their narrative (ha-ha).
