What If??


So there are some things that are just racing through my mind like a dog chasing the rabbit on race day.

So many What ifs and Why do's?
Why do some people find it necessary to abuse other people?
Why do we depend so much on our things?

Can't we all just get along?!?
I don't know, call me naive, call me trusting. I am an easy going guy, but when people break into other peoples things, a car, a house, whatever. and steal personal belongings, it kind of grinds my gears.

When I got the call that someone broke into Sarah's car today by smashing her car window and stole my iPod, my initial reactions were "is she ok" and "who would actually smash a window for something so juvenile?" but i guess iPods are a hot commodity for stealing. I know a few people that have had theirs stolen. So then my journey of the day begins. I went to every single pawn shop in Regina today. and if anyone sees an iPod that has pictures of me in it and has an In & Out burger sticker large on the back, let me know because i would love to have my music back.

I really don't like doing these kind of posts. I'm not angry, I'm obviously upset. but i really just feel sorry for the guy or gal who thought it was cool or needed a rush to do this to Sarah. some people's kids are so greedy, not just mentally greedy where they want more and more. I'm talking emotionally greedy. If everyone thought about someone else who they are effecting, maybe the world would be a better place to live. What if we lived in a society that focuses on the good rather than how we can get more? What if we lived with goals in mind, and had things to strive for. What if people took time to love one another?
What if?

On the lighter and more posi side, this is another step of faith that I am going to have to overcome. With my job being in the very nature of this event, I realize that the kids that I am trying to help out and raise are people that need to learn to have morals, that need to learn standards, who need love! This is going to be a challenge! I'm excited about the future, even though the present is kinda gloomy!
