You know what gripes me? I go to the doctor. I spend 2 hours, he spends 30 minutes.
He gets $184, and never does anything that helps me. What is this money paying for?
This is why I don't go to doctors. I say if they can't help they shouldn't have the
gall to bill $184. And of course they always want you to make an appointment to
come back. Pfft.
Watching shocking video of the Tawainese aircraft that went down in the river...
Can you imagine being the person in that vehicle on the bridge that nearly caught their end?
Watching in real time just stops my breath.
[edit: I just saw it confirmed.... that vehicle was a taxi, and it was clipped!]
and why can't the fighting in Ukraine stop?
Humor today... I may have shared this before. 
1 cup of coffee day at $1 = $365/year
so what about a $3 cup of coffee per day? more than $1000/year
and how about that $5(after taxes) cup of coffee?
I remember when I could not justify $5 every day for lunch(still can't), let alone $5 per day for coffee.
How much would that amount of money have helped a poor or starving family in another
nation where they must live on $1 per day.....
(Sorry Frank... I was listening to a fund raiser this morning.

in other notes:
Looks like our weather here is going to do the usual crazy bouncing thing...
like a ping pong ball... low of 27... high of 59... low of 40... high of 48...
low of 26... high of 50..... like a rock skipping across water...
impossible to get in a groove.
It's nice today(about 50), but it was 27 last night, and will be 27 again tonight...
and the same for the rest of the week, up and down, up and down....
and one final note, a quote from a wise, wise, man;
BENEDICT XVI (2005 - 2013)
“The State which would provide everything, absorbing everything into itself, would
ultimately become a mere bureaucracy incapable of guaranteeing the very thing
which the suffering person - every person - needs: namely, loving personal concern.
We do not need a State which regulates and controls everything, but a State which,
in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity, generously acknowledges and supports
initiatives arising from the different social forces and combines spontaneity with
closeness to those in need."
Peace, by Jason Upton
I want to know Your heart as a child knows his Father's
I want to know Your voice as a little boy knows his Father's
I hear You at a distance
When the world can't make it out
I can hear You call in Your voice O, Father
Your voice, O Father, a still small voice
I want to hear Your voice, O Father
Even when it seems at a distance
When people think I'm crazy, for thinking I can hear
I want to know Your voice, O Father
I want to hear it coming
I want to be the first around the corner
Take Your hand and walk with You
To the chair that You have
Sit down on Your lap and hold on
fearful of a generation
generation, puffed up with Christian pride
I want to hold onto you Father
peace that comes from knowing the whisper of the Father
I give you peace in the midst of your brokenness
in the midst of your emptiness
in the midst of the moments when you feel so tired
when you feel you can't go on
I give you peace
when it takes far too much
when the world seems too cruel
times when you are fearful
I give you peace
peace of the child, holding on
I want to see the cloud
the cloud coming
give me the eyes of a child
I want to see You coming
in the midst of the trial, I know You're coming
and the restlessness is that of a child waiting on His peace
Yesterday I could not stay awake at all...
last night it took forever for sleep to overtake me, even though I ceased to run...
My day started with hearing this;
Can't believe it's Feb. 1st already. The new year, well under way.
Interesting, I just looked at my calendar, and it says today is National Freedom Day
Wound down my day hearing this;
