Guitar, red phone, and an old camera

People can be so stupid. Can I say that? Is there ever a reason to walk on a school campus and open fire? Did you fail a pop quiz? Did people make fun of you? Did you loose your favorite beany baby in a game of Magic or Dungeons and Dragons?
I'm sorry, pardon me for being rude. That is not actually a good representation of what I really think.
Actually it makes me incredibly sad to think that people get so messed up, so...lost, that they cease to be able to see through the clouds. I think myopic might be a good word, but I'm not quite sure what it means. It breaks my heart that people can be so consumed by their own pain, anger, or you fill in the blank that they can make choices like that dude did in Virginia yesterday. Just as sad, though, is that there are thousands and millions of people who live in that same cloud. The only difference is that they don't hurt others, instead they only hurt themselves.
Maybe we should start praying for better perspective to see through the clouds.

This is nearly off topic, but at a spiritual discussion group that is held at our house we posed the question, if you could ask God one question that he had to answer immediatly what would it be? My wife said that she'd ask God how she could better see people as he sees them.
I love her.
Hey, you should answer that question too. What would you ask God?

if he could make it easier to love him and other people. and why the heck to we have to call god a him?

i guess that's more than one question.

Duh, thats an easy one. It's because God is a man. Everyone knows that. Think about it, God is all knowing, all powerful, he's everywhere, he's loving...he's a man. It makes perfect sense.

...but he never has to stop for directions. He's THAT cool.
