This Little Light of Mine

If I could change anything about the world, I would want everyone’s life to be pleasanter. (I’ve seen too many wish-gone-wrong movies to make too big a wish, but I’d feel safe with that!) If everyone’s life was pleasanter, that would make everything else just a little bit better too. Happier people go out of their ways to be kind to other people, are more helpful, and are pleasanter to be around. Happy people feel better about working, and about all the aspects of their lives. It won’t solve poverty, or illness, or war, but it can make the lives of those hardest hit easier, and it can make other people more likely to want to help.

Not a Country Bumpkin

My favorite music comes from the country-western genre. I grew up listening to it, which obviously influences my tastes, but I think that even without that I still would find merit in the music. There’s fun, rowdy music and there’s melancholy music in it too. There are songs about love and loss and kids and all the ups and downs of life. Yes, there are those weepy, yodeling songs that get the genre its bad rap, but the people involved in the genre recognize that – there’s even a song about how good things happen if you play a country song backward! That’s not all it is though, country is just about life in general. I try to keep an open mind about music, and many of the other genres intersect with country, but I really dislike rap music. The staccato beat of the music just sets my nerves on edge.

Receiving a Package From Dad

My dad was assigned to manage their office branch at Santa Monica, California. He was hesitated to accept the assignment at first because he does not want to be far away from us. However, my mom insisted that he goes since this is just for 6 months. So, my dad went anyway. Today, we received a package from him. He was just away for 2 months and now he is already sending a package for all of us. That was funny and sweet at the same time. He bought my brother some cool California shirts while I received all weather cornhole bags since dad knows how I love to play bean bag toss game. Everyone received some cute little stuff from dad. We talked to him via Skype almost every day but I still miss him. Well, four more months are not that long.

Turn for The Worst

If I won the lottery, I truly believe my life would take a turn for the worst. Believe it or not, there is a terrible side to winning a large sum of money, it is just that most people never hear about it because the media only likes to pay attention to all the happy stories and such. I have had reoccurring nightmares for years about me winning the lottery. In them, I lose my family and friends because they are angry with me when I won’t lend them money. So that is why I think my life would be no good if I won the lottery.

Family Camping

I decided to organize a small camping trip for my kids since their dad is out of town. I am sure they are sad to be far away from their dad but mommy is here to make them happy nevertheless.

I prepared the camping gears, packed some bean bag toss set, prepared lots of snacks and some story books for our family camping. Well, we just camped out in our backyard but it was fun. We set up a tent, create a bonfire as if we are in real camping and we just played all day and night.

I know the kids had fun even though they miss their dad. Well, good thing he is coming home tomorrow. Maybe we need to plan another family camping when he arrives home.

My View of Heaven

My view of heaven is that I believe it exists, but not in the way Christians (and many others) see it. I believe that there are no gates, but rather it’s like an airport pick-up. When you get there, the first thing you should see is all your predeceased family and friends waiting for you. They are in the body (age wise) of when they were having the best times of their life; be it a baby or 87-year-old. Then, I believe they sweep you away to catch up and you have a massive party. I feel sorry for people who don’t believe in heaven because they will go so many years scared of death, and they won’t even know what greatness is waiting for them up there.

I Can’t Stand It When You Cheat

My best friend has a problem with cheating on his girlfriends. The one thing in the whole wide world I would ask him to do is stop cheating! I have brought it up in conversations and he tends to brush it off like it never happened. The other thing I would tell him is to take more time for his girlfriend and less time at the races or working on his cars. He is a great guy that would be perfect for any girl if he could stop having a wandering eye and hands that have to touch everything.
