My First Day in Cleveland

Taking off from Dallas to Cleveland

Had a great morning heading to the airport from Dallas to Cleveland with a beautiful but hot day. I got to the airport waiting for my flight, and heard a familiar voice of a man with a thick accent talking about Proverbs 14 starting in verse 2 saying that we have to know how important these times are....

Proverbs 14King James Version (KJV)14 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.2 He that walketh in his uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him.3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour.10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy.11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness.14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going.16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he.22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.24 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.27 The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.28 In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people is the destruction of the prince.29 He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: but he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.31 He that oppresseth the poor reproacheth his Maker: but he that honoureth him hath mercy on the poor.32 The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known.34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.35 The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

I looked up and it was Rafael Cruz, who is Ted Cruz's father. He was talking to some other women and then they called for our flight so I didn't get to talk to him. We got on the airplane and he was sitting right in front of me and across in the aisle. I was getting settled and heard him talking again about another verse he was quoting from memory in Genesis. He was reading the Bible the whole flight and When we landed I finally told him "Thank you for raising such an amazing man who knows the Constitution and the Bible, and I was sorry we didn't get him as the nominee". He said he was going to continue the fight. I really wanted to get a picture together with him, but it was too crowded and we were all getting off the plane. I know that he probably thought I was a stalker as I tried several times to get close again, but each time he was getting his bags or talking to someone. I also wish I could've just prayed for him.

When I went down to baggage claim there were hundreds of people each stopping me to ask if I needed help or directions. I asked one where the shuttle to get to the hotel was and they gave me directions. I then found where I was to meet my shuttle to the hotel and walking out saw heavy security where there were the big guns that all liberals are scared of. When I was walking out saw quite a few police cars and a K-9 unit. Heavy security at the airport!! It was fun to meet lots of delegates and alternate delegates waiting for my shuttle, and there were a lot from New Mexico. They were all excited to see each other, and there seems to be a real camaraderie among the delegates.

At airport you could see the K-9 unit

I found my shuttle and went to meet my new roomie for the next few days Mary. I met a new friend for the first time at the hotel, and we then talked for several hours. Boy did we have a lot to talk about. We then got information about a strategy meeting for Delegates Unbound where they were having dinner. We met them at a DoubleTree hotel restaurant and met quite a few people with the group. We told them we would help and volunteer in any way that we could. We really enjoyed meeting Josiah who was with the Cruz campaign and I had met him in SC when I was there doing canvassing. 

There were a lot of media people there interviewing the Delegates Unbound coordinators. 

We ate dinner and then headed out to do a live feed on Facebook in front of the convention center. While we were doing the live feed a newscaster for the ABC 5 Eyewitness news in Cleveland asked us for an interview. He heard us say we were with Never Trump and Delegates Unbound. He asked us what we hoped to accomplish and if we thought it would help Hillary. If I find that interview I'll post it for you, but we do have my first FB live feed. 

We saw lots of police presence and tried to thank as many officers as we could. I told them we were praying for their safety this week. Please pray for everyone's safety this week!! We walked around more and then headed back to the hotel as it was a pretty eventful day and Monday holds a lot of things going on as Monday morning was an effort to try to get enough signatures of delegates from 7 states. Information about that strategy is on this website if you click on what's highlighted. 

Stay tuned for more to come later today, and follow me on my Facebook page to get more updates.
