NO WORK

Hi all. I have nothing to talk about except that I am off this week. Wait, one more thing. What do you think about this Korea thing? Kinda bad. North Korea fired missiles at South Korea. Timing is what should concern everyone.

Some people have suggested that the missile that was fired off of the California coast was from a Chinese submarine, like the one that popped up near some US ships. I was Navy ROTC and was learning to be on a sub hunter. We were taught about doing things like that. In either case North Korea's move will require a response.

If we go to war with China, even a non-nuclear one, things will not be good for anyone. I do not believe such a thing will occur. Still, we do not like to see war of any kind.

One more thing to discuss. Thanksgiving. It is not really a religious holiday, yet it is the most sincere. We thank our maker for providing for us. Sometimes we forget to do that and the holiday reminds us. I am thankful for much, I may not have much but I am thankful for much. I am thankful for having daughters who know who they are. I am thankful for my siblings and relatives. I am very thankful for my friends who have stood by me, encouraged me, made me smile and supported me when I needed support. I am thankful for great food, hey, I like food.

I may be losing my house; but, that just makes my life easier. I am not into possessions. I prefer to have little, less to take care of. I am thankful to God for giving me the chance to help others. I am thankful that he gave me my mind and my body, both have served me well. I am thankful for rest and music and comedy and trees and mountains and the desert (the desert is a wonderful place, so much quiet and so much life that can only be seen if you still your heart).

I am thankful for my little blog and my readers. I am. I like knowing someone reads my insanity, that it has any value. This blog was started for a couple of reasons and the reasons continually change. People need to express themselves and this has been a fun outlet. I have written in other places and have always managed to find people who actually enjoy my writing, it is an honor.

Because I want to make people aware of things they might not otherwise read, I spend a couple of hours a day reading. I read a lot. I figure most of my readers are well read and follow the news so I try to find things they might not have seen or present perspectives that might not be as common. Another way to look at things, not necessarily right, just different.

If I read an article such as the recent one discussing how the Vatican doesn't have enough exorcists and needs to recruit them because there is a rise in the number of possessions, I find that interesting. You don't have to be Catholic to find that interesting. It deserves to be considered regardless of from which perspective, heck, atheists would find it interesting.
