What Goes Around

Yesterday I rode the metro (our cities train/subway).  We have a lovely feature on our metro.  The front car on every train is for women only.  This is so nice because the metro can get extremely crowded and usually the women's section is much less crowded.  And if you have to stand really close to someone at least it is a woman and not a creepy guy. So my trip yesterday was pretty uneventful.  I wore my face mask to protect myself from swine flu.  I noticed a few others also wearing masks.  I felt like we should high five each other, but that would just spread the swine flu more. As I entered the metro I noticed a young man, around 20 years old, who was talking to his girl friend in the women's section.  A lot of times a guy will stand on the in between area of the two cars and talk with a girl friend or wife, but this guy was a good 10 feet in.  I was probably 20 feet away.  I thought for sure someone would let him know that he wa...

The other night we watched the movie John Q.  This is the story of a family that is having a rough time financially and then the son needs to have a heart transplant.  The story is about what a father will do to save his son.   Spoiler Alert:  "We all know how this works, people.  In order for Mike to live, someone has to die.  I'm the father.  It might as well be me."  So you have a father that will do anything, anything for his son.  Even if that means he must die to give his heart to his son. As I thought about this story and how it so easily paints the story of what God did for us, I was amazed at the beauty of it all.  I mean, the story of a father who will kill himself so that his son can live is beautiful.  The depth of love a parent has for a child is heart wrenching.  How can a person love someone so much that they are willing to die for that other person?  And yet that is what so many parents feel when it com...

I was thinking today about how hard it must be for blind people to know if they have a clean wipe.  How do they know if they are clean?  I will need to ask a blind person but I don't know any.  But then it got me thinking about toilet paper.  I was thinking if you had different colored toilet paper it would make it interesting to see what color it would turn.  And then I thought how you can't find different colored toilet paper anymore and kids these days won't even have the experience in their lives of colored toilet paper.  There were yellow, pink, green and once in a while you could find blue.  I guess it is out of style now or people had allergies or something.  But if I find a roll of pink toilet paper I am going to buy some.
