I turned on the 5:00 news this evening to find coverage on the tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri on Sunday evening. It was an unbelievable scene--there were over 160 lives lost and the deadliest tornado since 1947. It just got me thinking about some different things...
I came across someones Facebook status that stated something along the lines of "Don't have a phone...FML."
*This may seem like a big deal to you, not having a phone and all, but lets consider not having a home, having only the clothes on your back, no food, no running water, losing your favorite pet, or even worse, losing a loved one. I think the last thing on your mind after being effected by something like this would be having a cell phone...I suppose this gives meaning to the old saying, "don't sweat the small stuff"...
This also got me thinking about the whole "Dooms Day" ordeal that everyone has been ranting and raving about. I'm definitely no religious guru, but the recent storms that have been sweeping the globe just have me wondering what if these "Christian's in Caravans" have a lead on the end being near....hmm...how have you been leading your life? And even if the end isn't near, and these religious gurus aren't right about the end days being near, the question can still be asked, "how are you leading your life"? Are you in good standings with those that are important to you, with God? Have you done everything you've wanted, or crossed off what you could on your bucket list? Do you even have a bucket list? I guess it's a bit unfortunate that it takes events like this to have us posing questions about the way we are leading our lives. However, on the bright side, events like this help to value what we have and value the people we love. <3
I hope that everything works out for those effected by the recent storms that have been taking place in our nation...and you are in many people's thoughts and prayers. Hope that this post may have posed some questions and thoughts for you if you are reading this too.
