hopefully will never be repeated, aside from being thankful that the month is over and I'm still employed I think that the above question is still one that needs to be asked and addressed. Our culture is very consumer driven. It's all about the "next big thing". What's the new iPhone going to look like? Will there be yet another Elmo this year? Who knows? I do know one thing. I really shouldn't care. There's more to life then TV, movies, and gadgets. What about the mind? Have we gotten so complacent as to just be looking forward to movies and the next TV season? Harsh words yes. But what about our families, friends, and for some of us, our relationship with God? These relationships suffer the longer our focus remains on things. Over the last year I've seen a lot of death. Some expected, some not. We never know how much time we have. Every moment counts. Try to make them count! I'm so thankful for the..(now)...oh boy...eight nieces and one nephew (poor kid) but especially for the other nineteen (I think) I'm so thankful they stuck by me during such a tough month. Why? That's what a family does. Unless of course you're having a baby. :).
