Middle America's Worldview

Looking at the blog, I noticed I haven't even updated the blog for nearly a bloody week. Time just keeps flying for me.

I had taken Friday off to spend time with the family. One of the aspects was to actually not work, since this week at work was horacious. We were down one peer and I was asked to look at everything. Oh well. Nice to be known and needed. Regardless it was nice to spend time with the family, even though it was hectic.

All day Friday we prepared for our daughters party. We had a party consisting of 3 girls birthday's. I think about 30 plus kids, with parents were there. The big hit was the Karaoke. Our daughter wanted one, so we bought her one for her birthday. I have since been checking out the karaoke CD's seeing what is out there. I am amazed of the vast quantity and sheer magnitude of availble cd's. Who knew it was so popular to have such a diverse amount of choices? Not me.

I managed to complete a home project by Sunday. Let's just say I am not really the handyman nor furniture inclined. I am sure it would take most 4 hours to knock it all out. It took me all weekend.

Tonight at Church we continued the "Purpose Driven Life" again. I was able to attend it and enjoyed it, again.

Yesterday, as I was reading the book, I ran across the statements referring each individual is pre-wired (note not pre-destined) for a purpose God has given us/them. This, to me, is interesting. Would this mean each of our interest, special abilities, have been given to us by God? If so, wouldn't it also be logical our inherent issues, weaknesses are also given to us? I think so. Keeping in mind alot is also dependant upon our social surroundings, place of birth and enviroment we grow up in, helps develop our personalities. This to me, creates a crucial requirement to have each child in a well founded family enviroment during development. I can see why many activity groups are so pro-family. I myself view traditional pro-family to be the best enviroment as well. For those individuals that call some mom-dad families can also be abusive, I have to say that is not a well founded family enviroment. Realistically, this ideal enviroment is dwindling each day/year and generation. I look around and see these kids trying to act more adult than their own parents and it is very troublesome. Then you have these wolves in sheep clothing indoctrinating the youth with misinformation is disheartening. I wish there was a means to bring the light into their freaking dark world. Perhaps after the "Purpose Driven Life" book is read, I will find a means and purpose to assist somewhere to change the landscape of youth.


I have heard somewhere God will not give you no more than what you can handle. I have to wonder how many people understand that when they
