Here's my lunch time food for thought.  This morning I read two different articles, both unsettling in their own ways.
1st was an article on msn news website about a father who was suspected in his wife's disappearance and had two young boys, 7 and 5.  When the social worker brought them to the house he supposedly had it rigged to exploded and catch fire, killing himself and his young sons.  I always tend to read this type of  disturbing articles I want to cringe the whole time, why I keep doing this to myself who knows maybe because they are in all of the news meida's these days.  As I'm reading it my usual anger/disgust of harm to and towards children took over.   Tons of questions: how, why all the usual questions.  But at the end nothing can be changed by what has happened, all I can do is say a prayer for the grieving family and for those two precious boys.  Who are with the one person who ultimately loves them in heaven. Lord I pray peace on the family of Braden and Charles, give them comfort and peace during this time of their lives.

2nd was an article in the local paper of a person sentenced to 35 years for a drug charge. In the interview it was stated that they had realized what they had done and was grateful for the second chance even if behind bars  That he/she would have the chance to get a GED and take some college courses. I'm all for people getting a higher education. My thoughts were here this person is going to be in prison for years and while there can get a GED and work on some college courses.  Here I am never having altercations with the law, employed full time, mother and wife.  Wishing I could afford to go back to school and get my college degree, but sadly enough if I do that then my kids would go without. This idea just baffles me.  But all in all it's not too me or others, this may be the exactly where God wants this person.

Okay so that is enough of my thoughts on the issues in the news today.

Well today is Monday and as Monday's go it's not too bad but the usual did not want to get up early and go into work. Took a few hours to get going.  But getting my lunch time refueling and then back to the grind to finish out the day.  Good Monday afternoon everyone.
