Wrestling Wednesday
Focus is the word of the day. Of course staying focus takes accountability and action. You can tell yourself all day to stay focus but you have to first accept that you are not focused and you must take 'actual' steps to regain that focus. That means don’t go to places; deal with people or make decisions that you know will not keep you unfocused. It is not a coincidence that I picked my subject before my scripture, which is “Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life.” (Psalm 138:7 NIV). How’s that for confirmation.
Smooches!

Hillary Clinton - Palin Hype Not Enough
"Palin has generated a great deal of interest", Clinton acknowledged, but added, "That's not a good enough reason to vote for that ticket. There's a lot of talk in the country about who are you for in this election, but that's not the right question. The right question is, who is for you?” (read more click/paste http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/5050/story?id=5813133&page=1)

Love Is Neglected!
I've been listening to Alicia Keys, Like You Never See Me Again. The song focuses on embracing each moment with the one you love (in this case a romantic love)as if they will never see you again. Some would see it as a passionate, romantic song with a lot of sex appeal. But, she says one thing that is so very powerful to me, probably b/c I'm single right now! :)
"I don't want to take for granted the time you may have hear with me, Lord only knows another day is not really guaranteed, so everytime you hold me, hold me like this is the last time, everytime you kiss me, kiss me like you'll never see me again...etc.
Just think, someone woke up on 9/11/2001, today, yesterday or last week and rushed out the door heading for whereever and never came back. Someone may have had a fight with a loved one, fussed at their child b/c they were moving too slow in getting ready for school or maybe they haven't been talking to their sister, mother, brother, friend b/c of an argument too long ago to even still be a wedge between you and them or; putting off things until you returned home later. Only never to return again.
We should wake up and thank God for every single day we are given. It is a gift just to be here. The only time that is guranteed is the time you have right now. No other minute, hour or day is promised to us. Settle your issues with people, enjoy your children and make memories for them. Love your spouse like it is your wedding night every night. Put away the small stuff. Don't focus on those things that at the end of the day will not make you live longer, give you peace and will not bring joy to your day.
Trust when I say, if you are not here tommorrow, those moments in time will speak volumes to those left to mourn you when you are gone. It will be comforting to know without a shadow of doubt that you loved them like you'll never see each other again.

Obama vs McCain
What in the world is going on? It is a real shame when a man of Obama's caliber and status can't get any respect. What will it take? After listening to Governor Palin last night it is becoming more and more clear that we are still so very divided.
Barack Obama is not the grocery store clerk who is fighting for fair pay and equal treatment. He has worked really hard to achieve his accomplishments and he earned his seat in the Senate. I am certain he received and receives much opposition, yet and still he does not reduce himself to the standards of those who look down on him, but instead maintains every fruit of the spirit (Galations 5 - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control). No matter what verbal attacks they put upon his name, he never loses his composure nor compromises his integrity.
Now, you have to ask the question. If he is so unqualified, what is all the fuss about? You can't declare him un-equipped and then find a VP as un-equipped {based on McCain's definition} as Senator Obama.
If he is so un-equipped to handle the position as President of the United States, why did the republican party focus on insulting Obama (some down right belittling him) during the entire convention. Each and every speaker attempted to insult and belittle Senator Obama. Unfortunately, for them, it really showed how small minded they all are.
Governor Palin spent the ENTIRE night giving a well versed,structured speech full of sarcastic comments? She spoke nothing about the american people and the economy. Why focus on someone who is an unqualified opponent? Would and unqualified person pose a threat to you?
In this day and time, with our economy suffering so bad, I want to hear something that tells me you are going to do SOMETHING to protect my tax dollars, my child's future in education, my social security and job security; or help eliminate crime and gang violence, terroism, drug distribution and health care coverage. In a word, I guess an unqualified man is a THREAT!
