Jesus, you listening?
Why was it you sent me here 'cause seriously, Ohioans are @#+!%. Yes, I know, that's not nice but it's true. Who would willingly allow their income to be taxed by local authorities, right off the top, forget deductions, they don't exist and not even bat an eye, give a care, on the other hand they rather come to expect it with glee even?
My grievance is that there are literally NO services that are offered as part of this blessed robbery. Homeless aren't fed, clothed, educated, sick cared for, nope. Trash and leaves are picked up. Believe me I can easily pay for that service at a much lower rate and the business that would do that service would make use of the refuse to make additional revenue, the city, not so much.
The bigger point is that they put up with this because either they are @%#! or they've never lived anywhere else, EVER. Which may be the case. I've come to find out many people live their whole life here and in most cases they've lived within the same 50 mile radius and don't know what it's like to live somewhere else. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I haven't lived/worked in the same 50 mile radius nor frequented the same church for longer than a few years at a time. After a few years in a particular job/city/church I always find out it's time for a move. I'm sure the people around me appreciate it too. Although, Jesus, with so much moving around it would help tremendously if I had an extroverts personality with an affinity for short-lived acquaintances or friendships instead of my introversion with tight-knit long lasting friendships. I'm just saying, you handicapped me! Twerp!
I am convinced that you are highly amused with me! Whoever says God doesn't have a sense of humor, obviously does not know me.

Ah, the thoughts of the American
In the airport, the latest rag had the scandal of this week's celebrity caught cheating on his wife and the overheard conversation went like this:
* well that didn't take long
* How long were they married???
* well you know, they've been married a long time, 7/9 yrs maybe and she's old!!
It was at that point that I relocated and thought what kind of messed up world is this?
It's not a game, a test or a class so it's not cheating. It's a broken vow. It's tender treasures that were entrusted to a hero who turned out to be chump, upturning all the treasures placed in his care into the mud. He was suppose to lay down his life to protect his bride, his marriage and he failed. Does it matter how long ago the vow was made? Does it matter there are prettier girls than his bride? It truly breaks my heart to see this which is why I had to walk away. I couldn't gawk at his shortcomings because I have so many of my own.
It made me think, does our God gawk? Not a chance! He offers us another chance to take him all the treasures that were entrusted to us (muddy, missing or broken). He cleans them up and hands us a bigger treasure box in which to store our newly restored treasures and lo and behold he adds a few extra!! He sends us on our way knowing when we mess up (when not if!!), we can always come back to him and all it takes is an ounce of humility...
bless me Father ...
