Like a gift??? "my stepmom received it first"

This has been bothering me all day …

Tennessee couple dies within 48 hours of one another from COVID-19

According to Wilson, the Roadrunner was the first car her dad ever owned when he was just 16-years-old. She said he worked to pay for the car himself. The car meant a lot to him back in the day, and getting it again at 67 was very fulfilling.

Except, James only got to drive it one time.

The plan was the bring the Roadrunner to Rod Run this year, and that never happened.

"My daddy James and Carol Sue were diagnosed with COVID back in August, my stepmom received it first," Wilson said.

Her stepmom went to the doctor for her symptoms. However, James started showing symptoms three days later.

… snip …

"I know where they are, where they'll be, and where they'll meet me at one day," Wilson said, "My family and I know that we'll see them again soon."

Cansler agreed that the couple is in a better place.

"They all believed in the Lord. They believed the Lord would heal them. And He did. He took them on home," Cansler said.


When I read crap like this, I fear for our world.

God has been spreading around a lot of permanent immunity lately.

"My daddy actually even baptized somebody in the swimming pool, there at Valley Forge one time," Wilson said. I guess the chlorine in the pool was "holy chlorine"?

"I know they're in a better place". Then why did they even bother trying to beat cancer and being run over by a car?

I think god was trying to kill these people from day one, but they kept defeating "his plan".

Nice Camaro though, but I never liked Road Runners all that much.

Surely there are bills to pay.

Silver lining and all that jazz.

To hell with the Road Runner. I'm old enough to have seen them in dealer showrooms back in 1968. They were too heavy to keep up with big block Chevys. That Camaro would eat that Road Runner for breakfast.

I imagine that Camaro is going to stay in that inbred family though.

As a general rule I don’t judge them for how they express themselves.
