The election is over! whew! and I'm finding that a heavily watched election has the same effect on people that weddings and funerals do. The phrase of 'you don't really know someone until you life with them'...is fine, but my phrase:
"To see the true character of someone, observe how they handle a wedding or funeral"
It's amazing how each side is doing exactly the same as the other.
Paraphrasing Matthew.....don't worry about removing the beam out of my eye, until you take care of the beam in yours!
There are a few topics that I will not discuss with anyone for sake of arguments!...Religion and politics! Thankfully the voting booth is my secret and my relationship with God, my Father is just that, my relationship, not based on any religious affilitation!

Oh Well
with the primaries basically over, guess the real politics of life can get started! it's all there is on the news, repeat, repeat, repeat. It's amazing how there are so many people living to give their opinion on just about everything and not knowing anything at all! It's the same story over and over again, with little varied viewpoints across all the news channels.
that's what we get for living in a world that is so 'in your face, 24/7, news, nothing but the news'.
I sometimes think that maybe the 'opinion' news should be like a freight company from Raleigh, NC.
when asked about their hours of operations, I was told
"Oh, we are open 24/7, except Saturday and Sunday"
I replied, "WHAT!?!?....what's 24/7 about that...more like 24/5!?
there was silence on the other end of the phone! guess she had to think about that one and get back to me!

Unconditional Love
Been thinking.....
We know that we have unconditional love from God, our Father.
We extend unconditional love to our spouses, our children, our family members and our closest, truest friends.
Why do we not believe that we can be the recepient of unconditional love from these same people?
Are we not worthy?
Are we not a prince/princess in the Kingdom of God?
Shouldn't we count on this love from those in our Christian family?

New Blog...New Post
Been reading about these one-line journals, figured I would start simply here on blogspot and post an idea, a gratitude, a feeling as each day is happening.
just a quick posting of a current train of thought.
so here goes for 1/28/15
strange day today, emotions all over the place. just heard about 2 classmates having passed away over the last couple days. one's mortality comes to the forefront when this happens. And as we age, these events will occur more often. Prayers to the remaining family members and fellow classmates.
