Joshua 10:12-13 New Living Translation

12 On the day the Lord gave the Israelites victory over the Amorites, Joshua prayed to the Lord in front of all the people of Israel. He said,

“Let the sun stand still over Gibeon,
   and the moon over the valley of Aijalon.”

13 So the sun stood still and the moon stayed in place until the nation of Israel had defeated its enemies.

Is this event not recorded in The Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the middle of the sky, and it did not set as on a normal day.

I have to tell my story now because the strangest thing just happened. You see, somehow, I must not seem normal to other people and I just haven’t been able to figure out the mystery?

Have any of you?

Take tonight for instance, I was taking a short nap and then woke up and as usual I turned on the typical Fox News schedule. Well, it was eight thirty, so Hannity was on my “Sling,” minimized on my computer. Well, as I brought it back to life, I had put on one of those serious Covid Mask. It wasn’t the blue flimsy ones, but one of the black N45 or something. 

Anyway, as I am watching the show the substitute host welcomes three known very lovely women guests. So, out of thin air, there these women are in front of me, but they all seemed to start giggling or laughing at once the moment they were shown on air. Well, I don’t know if I looked stupid or they were just shocked at looking at some idiot staring back at them in a black mask?

But they all had these half smiles on their faces throughout the interview. Well, you know part of my personality is “paranoid schizoid,” so I was imagining that it was me who made them laugh. 

Someday, you might get it!

So, anyway, after a number of minutes my “Sling,” just shuts down as it tends to do sometimes. Well, the show should have been still running, so I go through the steps to restore the program. Nonetheless, when the show resumes, apparently, it was on a relay, as it sometimes does. So,I am watching the host welcoming three male guests, yet over in the corner there is a little notice that one of the female guests who I had just watched is about to appear on the show. 

Well, that's when I knew that it restored it to a relay point. 

Well, I knew what had happened. You see, sometimes “Sling,” will restore to a point earlier in the programming of what I had just watched. I don’t know why, but even my “SiriusXM,” does that when I am away from home on occasion. 

Sometimes, I can be watching America's News at twelve, turn it off and then when I turn on Laura Ingraham, at Six, I will still be listening to Sandra Smith unless I correct it. 

So, anyway I was curious, so I thought, “I wonder what will happen if I rewatch the show, but this time when the ladies are introduced, “I won’t wear the silly looking mask?” 

Anyway, so as I am watching the men who were on the show earlier apparently, I still had my mask on during the “Hosts,” interview.

Nevertheless, after a few minutes the host makes a remark concerning his reporting or gossip of another person, and he says, “..well, perhaps she didn’t want her face shown because she was so embarrassed or ashamed?”

Well, “Gee,” I thought, I wonder who that was directed at?” 

You know, and then perhaps I might have been speaking audibly when I said under my breath, “What a frigging idiot for goodness’ sake.” 

In fact, perhaps I stated to the screen, “Jimbob, you’re a frigging idiot, maybe they were doing construction in the women’s apartment and had built a manhole the size of a little car in her bathroom pulling her toilet, sink, cupboards and she was forced to wear a dust mask?” 

Geesh, these Fox people can be so clever with their double entendres sometimes.

Anyways, I rewatched the program and the ladies all still had smiles and were amused, I thought, but at least they didn’t all burst into laughter, as happened the first time. Nonetheless, I am still wondering why they were all still smiling. 

Who knows, perhaps, they heard me when I addressed Billy Bob, as an idiot? 

Did you know that if you were to go back in time, you could actually change the situation because it is not possible for two events to happen at that same moment in time? 

One event can only happen in Earth's time. 

Therefore, I am guessing that the event that happened would be the one visited the second time, but I am still not sure, as I have found there are variables. 

Go figure!

But this is how I spend my summer vacations.

Added thought: 

Let me add that in my fictional story above when the three ladies all laughed in unison, it was as if they thought that I was trying to be funny when I appeared in front of them wearing my mask. 

Well, I thought that I had quit trying to be a class clown back in my post graduate work, but apparently not? 

These young women seemed amused all through the first interview.

Actually, it was good to see the human side of the guests, although I felt a little stupid because I didn’t do it to be funny. 

I had no idea that it was going to elicit that kind of a response.  

Postscript:

So, what are you saying that “You can change events by changing the actions that lead up to them?”

Why “goodness gracious me,” that would even be ‘cooler’ than if I could name your best childhood friend's name.”
