I think sometimes I hate Mondays. I feel so overwhelmed... The house is dirty, the dog is, too. I don't feel like cleaning, I feel like sleeping. Somebody told me I had seasonal affect disorder (SAD, get it?) but I actually feel more tired as it gets warmer and I feel the pull to be outside gardening, while I should be inside cleaning, while I should be on the computer working, while I should be... and it goes on and on and on...
I am so sick of Bush justifying his actions and giving press conferences. His voice just has the ability to piss me off. I am constantly amazed that anybody can actually buy all his rhetoric. Or Karl Rove's rhetoric, or whoever the real spin doctor is. Four years of War today. Over three thousand U.S. soldiers killed. No idea how many "contractors" or Iraqi innocents killed, maimed, orphaned, etc. All in the name of "helping" that country. God help them if we didn't like them!
I went to the biggest spin presentation I have ever heard within the confines of church business yesterday, too. It scares me that people will listen to what a leader says (whether school official, politician, church leader, business leader, etc) and not question what they hear. Its like free will is completely thrown out the door. How can people accept things and not at least question the validity of what they are told? Am I the only one with a tendency to be skeptical? Sometimes I wonder. Is it a good idea to do away with Annual Conference support of social service/mission agencies which are begun and associated with a denomination? Is it good for the Missouri Conference of the Uniited Methodist Church to quit supporting Vital Ministries, like food pantries, homeless shelters, and childrens homes? Is the motivation to really allow these places to get more money, or is this a spin to justify cutting them off to save and redirect dollars? Am I the only one who wonders this?
