It's always refreshing to see you here. Trust me, I've been down there looking up way more than I want to have been or should have been. I finally figured out that life really is what you make of it. There are always going to be pitfalls and bumps and mean and ugly people, but you can make the little world around you the best you can. As my son so eloquently said, "It's the only world we've got, Mom, there's no where else to go." So true. We'll just have to make the best of it and know that at least in our own little world, we will do what's right for those around us.

We can't control the world or the evil people, but we can control what we, our own selves do. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me either, but I take some consolation in the fact that the world has always been this way and it only proves to me that there is good and there is evil and there must be a God that is good - what else would explain that? Good luck, Matt, I think you are a sensitive soul.
