Bored

I'm super bored tonight at work. I have to very easy babies and I'm in an area that by myself. No one to socialize with. Blah. Only 3ish more hours so that's good. I worked Fri/Sat night and then went to church on Sunday morning. After that we went to pass out food to the homeless and then to lunch. I got into bed around 4pm! I didn't get out of bed until 3pm Monday! I got up and we decorated the Christmas tree and then got ready for work and dinner.

Grandmother is coming tomorrow(really it's today now) and we have lifegroup. It's going to be a play games, eat and hang out night. Fun! Then it's Christmas Eve with my family, we both work Christmas and then it's Christmas with his family. Busy week! I guess Santa will have to come Christmas Eve day since Jesse won't be home Christmas morning. Oh well, we don't mind moving the actual day around. That's not what really matters anyway!

Another Thought!

So I was reading the news (maybe I should stop because I have found several articles that have made me suddenly turn "passionate" as I like to say) and there was this article:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34484153/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/
It's about a Florida Mom who twittered for prayers after her son was found drowning in a pool. People are all up in arms over this one! They think she was irresponsible for tweeting within an hour of the incident and that maybe her tweeting caused her to be negligent about her son. Seriously?!?! If anything I think this article just shows the need for community. We long to not be alone. We long for support. If we find it through a simple tweet ... so. It's not like she was giving the gory details. She was reaching out - asking for ... what? ... prayers?!?! NO!!! Not those! Seriously, how long does it take to send a tweet anyway? Like seconds... So I find this article and her harassment annoying. Get over it people! Just because you can't relate doesn't mean you need to bash the poor woman! She's already lost more than most of us (thankfully) will ever understand.

And the "other" article that I won't even comment on (lest you be here all night reading my rantings and raving):
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34493087/ns/us_news-faith/
S-E-R-I-O-U-S-L-Y? Can we not call a sin and sin? What is the church coming to? The End Times are near dear friends. Better be ready! *I do warn you to actually read the entire article, the name is not exactly what it seems*

I might be crossing a line here...

So, it irritates me when I see on the news or hear people talking about some poor animals that were saved from starvation or abuse. I know at this point you are thinking, "WHAT?!?!" so let me state why. How many PEOPLE in the world are starving? How many die each day? How many are abused? How many live without the basics of life? I agree that the animals shouldn't have to suffer and that they shouldn't be abused, but let's focus on people first. Before you write that big check to the SPCA think about how many PEOPLE could be fed for that amount. When we went to Honduras for the first time I was taken aback by the look of the animals. They were skin and bones, wondering the streets. "Look there's a cow! On the highway! Wait is that a cow? I didn't know they could be that skinny!" If people can't even feed themselves how are they going to feed their animals? It was one of the many culture shocks I experienced. Anyway - next time you see that news article or see some sad commercial about starving animals take time to think about something even more tragic: innocent children dieing every moment from lack of food and clean water. Which one do you think God would want our focus (or money for that matter) going to?
