Sit Down and Think

Feel a bit neglected, eh? Don’t we all. I’ve had to come to grips with the fact that I’m not in college anymore and I can’t write my thoughts no matter the hour. I got to bed at 10:30 and the alarm goes off at 5:55. There’s just not enough time to sit down and write what I think.

What do I think? House shopping — oh my. George W. Bush on the cover of Newsweek, it’s all about God. Makes me nervous. Invoking God when considering war is dangerous turf. Reminds me of the crusades. And I’m not talking Billy Graham. Saw a snippet today that flippantly reminded us that Saddam didn’t hesitate to use chemical weapons on his own people. I love that fact. We throw it around like such solid evidence. Where did he get those chemical weapons? Us.

Read a good piece on Frederick Buechner last week from the March 2003 issue of CT. Old Buechner’s still kicking. Makes me wish I’ve read more of his books. Makes me wish I could find more of his books in the used section.

Lent is coming up. We considered giving up book buying. Couldn’t do it. We’re giving up eating out instead. I guess Lent is tomorrow. It’s not coming up — it’s here.

Taxes — oh my. Yeah, need to think about doing those.

Job — oh my. Yeah, I need one of those. Though I’m not worried. Those kind of things tend to fall in place when they need to. Of course my definition of need to isn’t always the definition that ends up happening, but we work with what we can.

Yeah, things are still spinning.
