My heart is saddened today. The tragic news of a massacer on an Amish schoolhouse has really effected me. My heart goes out to the 3 families who have lost a daughter in this tragedy as well as the families with a loved one in the hospital. We will be praying for you all. I can't even imagine how those poor children felt being abandoned by their teacher and the rest of the adults, not understanding what this crazy man wanted (the 6 years olds probably didn´t know very much english), and seeing a classmate killed/injured. We will be praying for them as well. The news was internationally brodcast, and we heard about it here in Sweden within the hour. The community there must be outraged, as I expect it would. These peacefull people were innocent bystanders in our hectic life. They should have been left alone!
This whole incident has led me to wonder- am I ready to go? If a crazed man should walk up to me and shoot me, would I be ready to meet my maker? Am I seriously prepared to die? I realised that I have a few matters that I need to take care of, and some paper work I should take care of. (Last will and Testement for example) I think it would be more difficult to handle if one of my kids were suddenly gone. Who knows? One thing I am sure of- I am prepared to meet the Lord, my heart is already there. And should some other tragedy strike, I am confident that the Lord will give me the sanity and strength to be able to cope with it.
On a more daily basis, I didn't finish the car yesterday, so I need to finish today. I had sanded a little too hard and went through to the base paint. So I needed to repaint the red area and let it dry overnight. I will go out this morning and wet sand it, then buff and wax it to a glass shine.
Yesterday I also took care of my tax return stuff. I took the papers to the accountant and called the tax office to answer the questions they had, and let them know that I will be re-filing one form. (I messed it up reallllll gooooood!)
Other than that, we will see how the day goes. It's another rainy cold day, and my allergies are kicking in fairly well. (I get hives- itchy mosquito like bumps that can be painful if on hands or feet) I think I will need to wear gloves to keep my hands warm. I hate having hives on my hands! Makes it hard to typppe;P.
I guess I will go to work now. Have a good one, ya all!
