Completely Random Thoughts

I've not posted lately, because I haven't had a single minute to sit and "think" about what I want to share! So this morning, I decided to post some random thoughts, as that's how my life has been lately. 1. Top of the list. Remembering the victims and the heroes today. I can't get my mind around it, still, after 8 years. 2. The shuttle didn't land yesterday due to weather. Trying for another attempt today. I wouldn't have been able to watch it yesterday due to a meeting, but I can tonight. Yipee! 3. I've been reading this book by Richard Stearnes, CEO of WorldVision. It is totally rocking my world. I'm being challenged to really look deeply into the issues surrounding poverty and accept responsibility for fighting for equality and justice. If 100 jetliners crashed today (sorry for the reference to 9/11) and killed 26,000 people, don't you think America would do something? We wouldn't rest until it was prevented from happening again. But then tomorrow, it happens all over again. Well, it is happening. Yesterday more than 26,000 children died of preventable causes related to poverty. And tomorrow it will happen all over again. And many of us think it's just terrible, then turn the page in our newspaper to read about something else. Why? I think it's because it's not OUR children. OUR children got their vaccines, drink clean water, have enough to eat. But here's the thing: Equality. These other children didn't get the chance to have their vaccines, drink clean water and have enough to eat. It's not their fault. Don't you agree that God's heart breaks for each of them, just as much as if it was our own child? It's our job, as over 2000 verses in the Bible advocate, to fight for justice and equality, to feed the poor, to take care of those that have not. As you can see, I'm feeling passionate about this. I want to do something. You know the story of the starfish, right? http://www.starrbrite.com/starfish.html Even if it is small, I can make a difference. You can too. 4. Sorry about the deep thoughts. No I'm not. 5. Having lunch with my good friend Stacy today. Since we moved from the Lake area, I don't see her as much. 6. Since we moved from the Lake area to Athens, we don't have to drive 30 miles to work everyday. That's great! But do you know that this week, and all of next week, I have to drive to the Lake area for one meeting or another every day? Not a biggie, just didn't suspect that much traveling. Rick actually drove over there 3 times in one day this week! 7. Found $100 cash that was lost! It belongs to a dear friend, and I think we made her day when we told her! 8. Ok, here's something random. Last night, I watched Nancy Drew, the movie. Very cute! Makes me want to start wearing my penny loafers again. And then this morning, I had a notification that Nancy Drew was following me on Twitter. How weird is that??? 9. Dog needs a bath and haircut. Like I said, random is the word of the day. 10. Ladies, put your makeup in the freezer overnight to kill the thousands of germs that live on it! Learned that on GMA today!
