wait what?

For an update on the dreads: things are going well and they are lirning how to grow. Maybe one day they will be low matenience but for now they are almost more work than they are worth...almost- but most people like them, and the rest have at least been civil about it (exept one of my aunts and that uncle- who both express to me daily their dislike) oh well, on to more important things.

Like stress level- it is shooting throuhg the roof anywhere along the gulf coast- and i swear if the "H" word is said in my presence one more time i will rip 'em an new one. And a few days ago everyone was getting redy to panic- until the whole community decided that they couldnt afford to just get sick with worry. Nobody paniced for gas, no one bought out all the batteries- and no one boarded up. (given it did help that the projected path came no where near where we live) but still I guess life is just sometimes hard.

Well that was a dumb comment - life IS hard. But i cant help but think how luckey we are to have the things we do here in America. We are so filthy rich and have discusting attitudes about it. While the people in third world countries have nothing- and yet have some of the most powerful religious movements known to mankind.

That says something to me- that our lack of desperation- physically and spiritually leaves us apathetic and bord. When you have what you need- or have a way of being helped even when things get heartwrinchingly tight(ie homless shelters, government, and family)you loose the need to depend on something (like God) to get ya through.

Not saying this applies to everyone- and certainly right now there are thousands of homeless people compleetly desperate in this country! But where will they go? Moreover, what faith is keeping them going? I would present to you for debate (or maybe just food for thought) what is it inside a man or woman that makes them need to survive- what supernatural force drives them to want contentment- what causes us to need to worship something- anything- (our money or our sun) why do we stress> is there something that we know is wrong, something that we know we are missing?
