As I am sitting around here at my job, not doing much of anything, I read the paper and begin to think of how much there is that that I do not know. I read of war here and there, starvation seemingly everywhere and a never ending supply of political upheaval. Although physically existing in this ever changing world is it possible, that we as humans are not in "communication" with that which we call home?Lives are changing every day for the better and for the worse and one must think to themselves, “how is my life changing?” Am I participating in “life” to make it better or worse or am I just doing it “because?” I feel as though I am being drawn to a higher purpose, possibly to put off my own self and take on the lives of a few people who do not have it quite as good as myself. I feel as though a sacrifice is in order for needy people all around the world.
But as I take on this journey to supply to those of whom I do not even know, what happens to my own life. Do I begin to suffer as they do? Or do I just do “life” because I have been placed in the first world country that all around the world know as “AMERICA?” Is this stereotype a curse on my life and that which I may do for its entirety? Or will it be a tool, useful for changing the lives of many across the globe? I hope and pray that it is the latter of the two options… But only time will tell.
All that I have to do is to “decide what to do with the time that has been given to me.”

Well, that last decision is best handled by giving your time to God, and he'll certainly figure out the best use for it! And it will take you on a road that is certainly not easy, but full of the "life" you would miss had you desired the stereotype.
That, is very true. I suppose that if everyone was to take on the mentality of living "all" for God, then our world would function as it was created to...
Oh, by the way see you next week...
