This Week in Review

April 20, 2013



What a week!!

Bombing, explosion, flooding, Boston lockdown

KOYAANISQATSI

LIFE OUT OF BALANCE....(I thought I was the only one with a balance problem)

Do we dare congregate en masse anymore?

Do you walk past a garbage can on the street and hope it won't explode? 

                               ( I do, but I have a really active imagination)

*God be with those families and friends who lost loved ones in the bombing*

*God be with the people of Boston*

---but evil was not yet finished---

One story that was a bit overlooked was the horrifying explosion in Texas. 

************************************************************************************************************

God bless the families and friends who lost loved ones! A lot of those killed were the Heroic, Self-Sacrificing, Unbelieveably BRAVE First Responders.

************************************************************************************************************

Am I the only one who has wondered if the Texas explosion is somehow related to the bombing in Boston? 

They probably have absolutely no connection but that's how my mind works. 

We could just say that evil is alive and well on planet Earth.

In Chicagoland we saw the power of nature in a downpour that emptied out an entire condo/apartment complex. The name of the complex is Four Lakes.

This is a huge complex with hundreds of families living within its boundaries. Everyone was ordered to evacuate by the police. 

Why the evacuation? 

*** Four Lakes had become ONE LAKE in a matter of hours.*** 

Plumbing got rather dicey, with sewage having no place to go except the bathroom floor. 

No electricity. 

Gotta bunk up with someone and ride it out. 

Then the car decides that this is a "good day to die"...

And the  next day the snow starts falling!!!

So, in review:

More children and a beautiful young woman are killed in a horrifying bombing in Boston.

We must not forget those who lost limbs and were otherwise injured, but thank God, survived....

Families in West, Texas are engulfed in grief due to an explosion at a fertilizer plant.

Water, water everywhere...hundreds out in the cold...in Chicagoland.

Time out of mind. 

Do you know what day it is today?

Be thankful (once again) for your blessings, hug your kids, kiss your S/O, call your mom or dad, tell someone you love them, forgive a debt, be kind to everyone, be patient at all times, try to see out of someone else's eyes. 

If you will, pray.

It's all up to you.

Love and Peace....
