Well...

Not quite sure what to post about today... it's been a decent week at work, but next week will suck... possibly all week in the field, maybe to include Saturday... oh, well, once we get it out of the way, we'll be o.k....

Not even much to complain about... I mean, it's been pretty good overall, tired as usual, but good things still happening... apparently I might not be awake enough yet to post anything real...

I only have a couple of things on my mind, one of which is simply this: If people really feel that all of this "hurricane relief" stuff has been motivated by race or politics (both of which are entirely possible), then write your feelings down, keep them updated every so often, and bring them back out the next time you VOTE. Don't forget your feelings, but don't let them get in the way of what needs to happen NOW. Right now, regardless of HOW you feel the situation is being handled, it's important to remember that it needs to be dealt with, people need safety, clean water, food, and entire cities need to be rebuilt. I personally think that all of the energy that's being focused on ARGUING about who's doing what would be better spent HELPING AND REBUILDING people's lives. If all you're doing is sitting around wondering why someone hasn't come to help you or done enough to help you, then maybe you should save those feelings and worry more about helping yourself or someone else. Time will tell on all of the people who've screwed things up, but what needs to be done now is way more important than politics, or (to me personally) even racism right now...

Just MY feelings, please don't slam me for them...

A great tragedy has befallen this country, and a period of mourning combined with the hope of recovery is at hand... this Church mourns those who were lost...

Also, I'd like to take just a moment to say that one of my favorite actors passed away last week... Bob Denver, who we all knew and loved as Gilligan, and I actually remember from re-runs as Maynard G. Krebbs on the old show "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" died Friday, Sep. 2nd... He will be missed, not only for his t.v. roles, but also for his charitable work... log on to Bob Denver's website, and there's a message about his passing, and how his family wants those who care to donate to his charity, The Denver Foundation Inc. (NOT to be confused with any organizations from the CITY of Denver), which is an organization for the handicapped in Mr. Denver's home state of West Virginia...

A time of mouring is upon this Church, both for the great and small things that befall us all...

Peace...
