Just Reading the News...

So, here I am...

I am supposed to be writing a Philosophy paper on Descartes, but I'm listening to DC Talk (that's right, you heard me) and blogging. Yeah!

I just have to say kudos to the spunky little old lady who saved her home from vandals. In Houston, there was this little old lady at home with her two grandsons. She said that she was upstairs when she heard a knock at the door. So, she leaves the boys upstairs and starts hobbling down the stairs, yelling "I'm coming."

The impatient bad boys at the door start messing with the knob. This leaves granny to yell, "I TOLD you I was coming!" She gets to the door and opens it just a crack. That is when she spots the would-be-intruders. She also spots their gun. Now, what does little granny do? This is great, y'all...

"Hell no!" She screams.

The guy goes for his gun. She starts running out of the door. That's when she remembers that the boys are in the house.

"If you mess with my grandsons, I will KILL you!"

They must have believed her. Those men tore out of there. Now, is that or is that not a spunky little lady? Looks like it pays to have some spunk in this world. I can only hope that I, too, will one day be a spunky little old lady.

Wow, "What Have We Become?" is a really, really sad song. Have you ever noticed?

On a more serious note...
Please join me in praying for the Christian convert in Afganistan. May God's will be done in this situation. And - wow - how awesome is his outlook at the whole situation? I pray that God would give me the strength to act in the same unapologizing, nonchalant way if I were to ever be in that situation. May God give him strength and peace and joy - even now.
