Life and it's frailty
I've been spending the last um-teen minutes making a thousand tiny little updates to my site. Probably things that the average user will never see. I've been struck rather suddenly with the frailty of human life. My last post is rather scary. This time next week perhaps we will be in the midst of nuclear war. Just as equaly, perhaps not.
Even if we lay aside the big fears, people just die every day. I don't want to die. I want to live. I want to get married, have a family... *sigh*
Why am I saying this?

I find it rather amusing that you are thinking such things at this time. I was thinking the exact same things not too long ago. Perhaps I will write more about it on my own blog. ^_^

Hmmm. I was in that sort of depressed, overly-worried state of mind this past May when Mr. Cordner talked about the Cold War in ACH. It took me awhile, but I finally realized that there's really no pointing in driving yourself mad with worry about something that may or may not happen. And there's no point in driving yourself mad trying to keep you from going mad. You may as well just give in and save your sanity.
But in all the seriousness I can muster at this moment: I honestly have worried about a lot of the same things. It's all a matter of learning to trust more in God. Not an easy task in a world where we are consistently bombarded with bad news.
