i was reading an account that was emailed to me of the destruction out in the gulf... funny, reading it hit me a lot more than when i simply watch the news on tv or cnn. i can't imagine how it'd be over there. since it happened, my friends who have been to that area tell me that it's really more like a 3rd world country over there. how sad huh? and yea, i think the whole world responded a lot quicker to the tsunami victims than to these poor folk in the south.
we live in quite a sheltered environment. most of us spent labor day hanging out with friends... or at least at our homes, relaxing, maybe cleaning a big. but there are people in such dire need right now. and a lot of people also working to help them out. i hope you and your affluent companies are doing your part. at the very least, be kinder to each other. we all need a bit of that these days as well.

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
