My prayers and heart goes out for the people who loss love ones yesterday in the attack on our embasy in Lybia. Now they are saying that it was a terriorist attack (duh). The Middle East is like popcorn popping bombs and attacks, I mean we never know what's going to explode next. My mom would always say that the Bible speaks of wars and rumors of wars being a sign of the end of the world. But, how long will it last? I think alot about how the good, hard working people in these places are able to deal with all the uncertainly they face each minute. How does a father protect his family, how does a mother protect her child in the mist of all the turmoil and death? I just cannot wrap my mind around living like this.
Do you ever wonder why we were chosen to be born here? Why others were born into wars? While our 4 yr. olds are swinging on swings, laughing at Sesame Street, and playing with legos, other toddlers see people get gunned down and walk around dead bodies. I can't phanton my granddaughters living like that. Even if it was my "NORM" I wonder if I could be strong enough to handle all the tragedy. Muslin or not, the everyday people that have endured wars, terrorists, and daily hell, I hope they someday find their heaven.
I thank my God daily for the blessings He has given me. Even with all my failings, I know I one day will find my heaven. When I do I maybe I'll be sharing it with people that have lived in hell.

Challenging day. I know "challenging" is relevant to each person and to each situation, but when it comes to driving in Atlanta, give me a break! Living outside of Atlanta, sometimes I find myself, let's say, directionally challenged. I have driven in large cities before, not an expert, but I can hold my own with being able to get to a given address. No where else do I know of where you can travel 6 blocks and the road name change 3 times. Not too much exaggeration in that statement. If you're looking for a road to turn onto at an intersection, you better damn well read the sign on the left and read the sign on the right, because I guarantee the street running through the intersection will have 2 names. Hell, the street you're traveling on may change names a time of two before you reach your destination. Really? And how many Peachtree streets does one city need? They are everywhere, North, South, East, and West
I only have myself to blame for my day. I mean I DID move here! Oh, I missed my appointment. Was on the correct street with the wrong name. On the positive side, I did treat myself with lunch at the Varsity!

Middle aged lady here. Not knowledgeable about how to blog. Learning that the blog I think I've set up has a mind of its own, and it is as determined to kick my butt as I am to learn what the hell to do! So I've been justrippinaround like an illiterate computer user!
