He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children. —Psalm 113:9

Looking outside myself

A couple of items from Boing Boing:

First, methinks "heavenly citizen" Dr. Dino missed Jesus' command to pay Caesar his due. Dude. If Jesus could pay his taxes, then so can you.

On a more serious note, this Israeli blogger is making me feel like a selfish prick for carrying on about my little cold and wedding stress and whatall when there are people across the world dealing with things like tsunamis and getting the ever-loving crap blown out of their hometowns. I know we all have our own private apocalypses, and everybody's problems are as big to them at the moment as anybody else's, but it's good to get some perspective once in a while. Perspective leads to gratitude, and gratitude is an essential component of joy and contentment. So I'm going to sit over here in my safe little corner, drink some tea, maybe do a puzzle to while away my lunch hour, taking my rest where I can get it, and stop complaining and just be grateful that I don't have to worry about anybody dropping bombs on my head. At least not today.
