What Goes Around

This morning I am feeling sad.  Facebook is making me sad.  My friends are making me sad.  I also feel lonely.  The Supreme Court decision to allow same sex marriage in all states is making me sad.  And seeing so many friends change their facebook photo to the rainbow colors makes me just sad.  This is not a victory for America.  This is a big step in turning away from God.  I don't consider America to be a Christian nation, but it was founded on Christian principles.  But we have turned away.  I am reminded of this over and over as I read the Bible.  The stories of the kings and how many times they turned the country away from God had always had me puzzled.  How could it happen so quickly?  But it wasn't quick.  It was just like we are doing in America.  Slowly making big changes that are against the perfect law that God has set before us.  It is 40+ years ago since we legalized killing unborn babies. ...

Today felt like a Twilight zone episode.  Things were just weird.  I woke up at 2:30 AM and got ready for our plane trip to Charlotte.  There were new ways of checking in and going through security.  Then arriving in Charlotte we had to wait an hour for our luggage to come.  It didn't seem like anyone else was waiting so we kept checking around to see if we were in the right place.  We were told it usually takes 45 minutes.  We waited.  Checked around some more.  Then someone said it took 30 minutes.  Waited some more.  The carousel never seemed to move as we waited.  Then I found another airline employee and asked when the bags would arrive.  She said they already did.  I found our bags in the pile of left luggage.  So what I figure is that we were the only ones stupid enough to check our bags.  Everyone else knows that Charlotte airport has the slowest baggage service so they just had carry-on.  So w...

We are closing on our house today.  No, we aren't buying/selling a house.  I don't even know what it means.  We are packing up our home.  We have a huge pile of give away things.  It feels so good to have our give away be bigger then our keeping pile.  Why do we have so much stuff?  I sadly look at it and see the price of the items we have bought and are discarding.  But the good side of this is that we are able to give things away and bless others.  Some people will be able to use our stuff. We don't know if this is the end of our India chapter.  It was a long one.  It had lots of ups and downs, goods and bads.  We are actually lucky.  Many people leave and don't realize they aren't going to come back.  We at least are considering the possibility that we aren't coming back.  So we can take back to America are precious items.   Maybe this was not just a chapter, but a book.  And the book will have a ...
