I think it will help in the morning - the evening is another question.

I was thinking today, watching the BoSox crowds cheering, how united - even Alan Colmes - we were after 9/11........the glue stuck for maybe a week, before the 'Rat playbook got organized, and it all melted away.
Let's see how Massachusetts votes in the next cycle......holding my breath (not -- I'm a realist)

Dust Art
April 22, 2013
When God chose dust as His artistic medium to create Adam (Gen. 2:7), He didnt have to worry about running out of material. According to Hannah Holmes, author of The Secret Life of Dust, Between 1 and 3 billion tons of desert dust fly up into the sky annually. One billion tons would fill 14 million boxcars in a train that would wrap six times around the Earths equator.
No one has to buy dust, for we all have more than we want. I ignore it as long as I can in my house. My reasoning is this: If I dont disturb it, its not as noticeable. But eventually it accumulates to the point that I can no longer pretend its not there. So I haul out my cleaning supplies and start removing it from wherever it has found a resting place.
As I remove the dust, I see myself reflected in the smooth surface. Then I see another thing: I see that God took something worthless, dust, and made it into something pricelessyou and me and every other person (Gen. 2:7).
The fact that God used dust to create humans makes me think twice about labeling someone or something worthless. Perhaps the very thing that I want to get rid ofa person or problem that annoys meis the artistic medium God has given to display His glory.
Lord, too often I want to quickly ignore
or dismiss difficult people and circumstances.
Help me to be open to learn from
You through them and to see Your glory.
Being all fashioned of the self-same dust, let us be merciful as well as just. Longfellow
Read: Genesis 2:1-7

Guess he was having fun. LOL
Gotta run so I don't fall further behind.
But please stay right where you are.
Chat up the military or a family member.
No need to fret...you know I'll be back!
