Today's ramblings...

so, on the way to work today I realized how much I dislike mean spirited people. And I am betting that as things get worse, people will get to be nice or mean, depending upon how they feel. What prompted this was watching one driver in a right lane speed up after a car in left lane put their signal on to change lanes into their lane! for over a mile the first driver had been paced a good 5-8 car lengths from the car in front of him, but as soon as the second driver put their signal on, he sped up to not let them in! Talk about mean! Anyhow I think (and please, do not bother to comment that I am being a PollyAnna- I am not) that as times get worse (or we perceive that they do) we should try to help each other and be nicer, this can make all the difference in one's day. Not just for the other person, but for us too. I was thinking that I had read something about this recently, and I had. From my church's journal guide they gave out the first week in January, the reading was Romans 12:1-16; verses 1 & 2 have always been favorites of mine, because I am hoping to be "all used up" by the time God takes me home; in addition verses 3-8 specifically talk about us each using our gifts to help other. So, let's stick together to "ride out the storm" together!

And to the mean guy on the expressway, you need a hug, here it is ((HUG)).

Smiles to you!
