Is this thing on?????

So I’m not certain what drives me to continue to do this. I’m not all that certain who reads this mess but I will just keep it up if for only my own way to release.

It seems there is so much going on around us with regards to natural disasters that it certainly does lend credence to some of the doomsday predictions. Some would say this is the beginning of the rapture. I would say that you only need to go back as far asY2K to understand all the nuts out there predicting the end. There is no denying, however, the unprecedented disasters in such a short time, be they tsunamis, earthquakes (perhaps that was not the right order for those two), fires, tornados, floods, you name it. So are all of these disasters part of a grander plan or is it just a bunch of tightly wrapped coincidences? The debate churns on.

Now I don’t know about you but I think Osama Bin Laden has gotten enough press. This guy was nothing more than an overeducated animal. There are more to follow him within that culture of terrorism and this fight will never end. Good and evil and fought each other from the beginning of man and nothing we do will eliminate that completely. We can work to make the world a better place but let’s not have false perceptions that terrorism will be eradicated. This is all I will write about this as I’ve already given him too large a paragraph.

I know part of the answer to this next question about the few readers that actually look at this but do any of you go to church? Why do you go? What do you get from it? What do you give back to it? Do you have the expectation that you only get from church and should not have to give? I’m not speaking merely of a financial nature but of the three T’s and if you go at all I need not explain them. (If you don’t go look it up!) Twenty something years ago I finally realized that to me your religion was not only something you received something from but something that really commanded interaction. We live in such a shallow world these days that people can’t look past their I-Pads or cell phones to even begin to understand that this life is not all there is and I would suggest you work on yourself to make the positive transition to the next life. Does this mean going to church every Sunday? It does for me and this is the one thing I need to be selfish about. I’m not going to pretend to know what’s right for everyone but I do know what’s right for me. I’m not making judgments about how everyone lives out their lives just trying to make you think. If you have children you owe it to them to at least give them the right start.

So that’s it for now. I must head out the door and continue to make a living. I am so blessed and have so much to live for and hopefully have many more years to get the most I can out of this temporary life. But my point to my previous paragraph was I hope everyone comes to the realization that what you have here and who you are now is only a stepping stone and you might just be determining the next stone you are stepping on….
