I’ve been writing and thinking so much lately that my brain is literally experiencing brown-outs.  I need to get back to work. Too much time away from the office isn’t doing me any good. Well, it did my body good, but my mind is suffering. I guess I’ll crawl back in on….  

Meanwhile, back at the ranch….

I packed up a couple of boxes of clothes to donate.  I can’t believe how many things I own with price tags still attached.  Luckily, I’m not attached to any of it, and I love being able to help someone else.  Sometimes, I feel like I need to do more, which leads me to my next school of thought…

Altruism….

I’m often perplexed by selfish people.  I don’t understand why more people don’t feel some innate sense of responsibility to reach out on the behalf of something or someone else. My parents raised me to always think about the good and welfare of others.  They wouldn’t let me have many moments of unbridled selfishness. 

I applaud anyone volunteering their time and efforts for a cause bigger than themselves.  Where would this world be without the graciousness of those with no strings attached to their time and love for mankind? They give endlessly to only hear ‘thank you.’ For those amazing people, those three words are priceless.

Luke 12:35-48
For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
