Sick & thoughtful

It is almost 1:00 AM and I should be in bed. I have been fighting a cold and I am sure this is not helping the healing. I guess right now I am just in a thoughtful mood. A dear friend of mine is a teacher in IL. His school has had 7 students die in 6 months. I just finished reading the obit and related article. The last student to die was 17. In listing her acolades, she was listed as a Teen for Christ.

So right now, much like the beaver in Narnia, I understand right now that God is not safe. Please understand what I am saying. We are not promised tomorrow. We could be checking out at any moment. Why does it take death to remind us that life is a vapor.

For those out in blogland that are wondering...no....no squirrel capture. Though I am getting concerned. I saw two squirrels the other day. I am praying that they are bachelors or batchelorettes.

Someone recently said that they feel that bloggers are narcissitic. I don't know...perhaps she was correct. What is the motivation behind blogging? Can it be pinned down to a simple understanding?

My brother in his blog says Change is a coming. I think perhaps change is always there. Sometimes it is a really cool yet slow-moving automatic sidewalk ...and other times it is a train barrelling at you and you grab on and hold on for the ride. It is all in your perspective. Can you imagine being a Jew on the day of Pentecost when Peter preached. That was a train ride change to say the least. But yet it still had slow movements at time.

Well i have yawn enough so I guess I will go to sleep.
