Crazy Times of 2008

Presidential elections, financial crisis, high gas prices & leans - seems like we are smack in the middle of precarious times.  I am hoping that when you girls finally read this journal, all of these things will be truly history & would have had NO long term lasting affects.  I really don't know.

I have stated before that I have NOT been good at keeping up with current affairs of our nation or others for that matter.  I would like to think that I focus on our community, and trying to care for others locally (generally speaking).  This is IMPOSSIBLE - especially in today's day and age.  What goes on & is happening around the world in many ways affects us exactly where we are at.  Also, as a follower of Christ, I am mysteriously connected to my 'brothers & sisters' in Christ around the WORLD.  Not just in our city.  I am still figuring this out - how to live for Christ in a holistic  / global way.
-Should I not call FEMA to put pressure on them to help natural disaster victims?
-Should I not recycle - put pressure on my city to start recycling?
-Should I know who my Senator & Congressmen are & what they are doing?
-Should I not support my local stores & not just purchase it ALL at Wal-Mart?
-Should I compost?
I am not trying to 'should' on you girls, but . . . we are called by God to love our neighbor - in ALL of our actions.  Not easy, and mommy is not always great at following her own advice, but I'm trying.  I think it is IMPORTANT.

I just think we all need to our best, and that is our own best...
