Thou Shall not Kill

I believe it is one of the top ten. The wrester who took the life of his wife and son and left a bible by their bodies should have read the bible. Thou shall not kill.

I have to tell you I am sick of it. Every morning its on the news. Someone shot and killed at 39th and Indiana. A convenience store clerk killed for $200. A pregnant woman about to give birth. An 18 year old high school graduate.

Now what is the deal with these murder suicides? I am outraged! How can a man kill his family! Aaarruughhh!!!!

If you ever have the slightest thought of doing something like this, get help.

You didn't hear about this in the 50's. People worked for a living and expected to work hard. They didn't expect the world to entertain them or bow to their desires. The prosperity in American life in the last 50 years have given too many people the "easy life." Society is full of people who expect everything. They want to win the lottery. They want their wife to make them happy. They want everything to go their way, and when it doesn't, they go postal.

I am on a rant. Life isn't about being happy or getting what you want. It is not about whether things go my way today or not. We are not little princes and princesses waiting for our court to take care of our problems.

If you are alive, you are going to have problems.

Life is still good.

It means nothing to praise God when skies are blue and the grass is green. Meaning is found when you can look up into a cloudy sky and still focus on the blue. Joy comes when we remember that the sun is still there, even when we cant see it.

There is no reason to be vindictive or hateful. Some of life is not going to go your way. Get used to it. Get over it. Its not about me.

There is so much good. Don't waste today by focusing on the bad. Stop. Find a bench. sit down. Look around. See the good. Get outside yourself and see and enjoy the wonder that God has placed into his world and into his people.

Its a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
