Greedy

It's Cyber Monday. I was out on Black Friday. I read the ads on Thanksgiving. I watched 60 minutes last night about the 1,000's of kids in FLA living in cars and on the streets, entire families with no jobs, or not enough jobs to support themselves. Life was o.k. then stuff happened, and there they are. I just read John 19, the account of Jesus' Crucifixion. Let's not call it the story of his Crucifixion, that makes it not seem real. He died for me. He was tortured for me.

On Saturday I went to a memorial service for a former youth group kid. We tried. But did we try enough? The priest said she would be in heaven because of her infant baptism. I don't think so. I wonder if the people in the room thought so? They knew what she had done. They knew none of it made or makes sense.

I saw a friend yesterday. He needs friends too. He starts lots of projects and doesn't get them done.

Life doesn't to be easy for lots of us these days. I pray that my priorities wouldn't get in the way of what His priorities for me today would be.
