The Pros & Cons of Life

So today has made me think about all the great things and all the crappy things in my life. So here goes:

The Good:
1. Not having to ride the bus today (I love my husband!)
2. Mmmmm...coke. (You can't see the drool, but it's there)
3. Waking up at the same time that I'm usually standing in the cold waiting for the bus. (see 1)
4. Feeling better than dead
5. Rocking out on Guitar Hero III


The Bad:
1. Being sat on by a beast on the metro
2. South Africa NOT EVER KNOWING HOW TO COMPLETE PAPERWORK CORRECTLY (IDIOTS!!)
3. Ellie taking 10 hours to poop when it's 5 degrees outside. (I never exaggerate, EVER!)
4. Petty people at work at create drama
5. Debt


Then, in the mix of all this good and bad was the a news article that put my ridiculous, wasteful, irresponsible life on the map of life on the globe.

Did you know that the UN concluded that 9.7 MILLION children die before they reach age 5. 9.7 MILLION -- that's almost a 10th of the global population! Or to put it in even more perspective, 26,000+ children die every DAY!!! That's almost 18 kids a minute!

So, global good vs. bad.

Good:
1. God
2. Grace
3. Forgiveness
4. People living the life Jesus is leading them to
5. Prayer & Social Justice

Bad:
1. 26,000 children dieing each day
2. global warming
3. no health care
4. malnutrition world wide
5. Aids
6. nuclear weapons
7. fascism
8. Greed
9...need I go on.

I guess it's a good thing the good out weighs the bad.

HAPPY BLOG, huh?
