It's The Best Of Times, It's The Worst of Times

I feel like I'm on a roller coaster sometime. The other night I saw Oprah's big give, most of it, and I was so moved and uplifted by so many of those featured. I was especially touched by the woman who cared for and worked for children(and adults) with Down's Syndrome. Didn't we used to, as a society, hide these beautiful, charismatic individuals? Anyway, she provided so much in the way of creativel activities, including music and fun for these special kids. It was wonderful to see. A day or so later, I saw a marine, the epitomy of strength, courage and protection, toss an adorable puppy off a cliff in Iraq. I actually didn't see it, they didn't show it in it's entireity, thank goodness. I can't begin to tell you how much that hurt to see and know that these acts of cruelty occur. Of course they do, there is real evil in the world.

We live in a world of polar opposites. Do we know who is in charge at each end? I do. I cling to my Lord and all that is good, that comes from Him. I hope you do as well.

It's snowing outside, I have three unread newspapers. I've had three very busy days. Thank God that today is going to be a slowdown, a day to catch up. Please be careful out there today, it's gonna be slick. Dustin, are you listening, be CAREFUL, slowdown out there, everyone, take your time. You're not supposed to rush.........ever. Have a great day, luv, Susan
