Thoughts

I'm finding it more difficult each day to separate the simple, love for home and family, content of my blog from that of the world. The woes of our society, interlacing with the political issues of the world, are permeating even our simple, easy going lives here in our little hometown. Maybe I should say "my life". Hopefully, there aren't many like myself!

I find myself, without understanding why, having feelings of apprehension and foreboding. Well....maybe I do understand why! I'm sure much of this feeling comes from seeing too much and hearing too much news. And, too, what is disturbing to me, is I'm not even shocked anymore at what I hear or see. The subjects of our news programs have become so common place that I have begun to be accepting of acts and behaviors that once were despicable.

"Ho-hum!....wonder what's going on in the life of Britney today?"

"Wonder who'll be tasered today?"

"Guess there'll be another child murdered or abducted today....wonder who it will be?"

"O.J.....what will he do today that's going to entertain us?"

and on, and on, and on.

I've been attending a Bible Study, once a week, for the past 9 weeks. I posted about it when we began....Calm My Anxious Heart. It is such a good book. This morning's lesson was on the meaning of having faith and believing God's promises.

And, that's my problem. I say I have faith. I say I believe God. Well....if this is true, why do I have the feelings that I do?

I think I need to put to practice what I preach!

Another thing I need to remember is that what we see and hear on the Idiot Box about people is a small minority of our population. Our world is filled with good, God-fearing, hard working, morally uplifting people that aren't "newsworthy"....they are the ones of persevere!

Oh! and another thing! Lack of sleep is also instrumental in making a person apprehensive and have feelings of foreboding! (the story of my life this past week)

What I really needed for posting today was a "Wordless Wednesday"!
