It is what surrounds us… everywhere… men/women/groups… all grasping at  more and more power… I was doing one of my  “rantings”  about the  state of things  to Dano the other day… the horror of my just reading the  “headings”… had no desire to go read the details… had no desire to enter the  Coliseum  and see the details of what the  gladiators  were doing today… blow by blow. … even though… what is said…  depends on whether it is USA Today   or Fox News  doing the reporting… you know… where I can get the  real skinny  on whose fault all this mess is…  🙂

…sometimes I wonder if they are actually talking about the  “same world”….

I finally stopped my rant… Dano said…  “why don’t you just stop reading the news”…    I laughed and said something about Philip not knowing what was going on in the world… how could that ever be… how could I be relevant… well… I haven’t read the news in 4 days… and…  do not feel the least bit irrelevant…  even not knowing if a nuke has been launched towards Wenham, MA… nor who was responsible for it…   🙂

I am calling this stage in my life…  one of my:   “Frankly Scarlett”  stages…  if that phrase means nothing to you… don’t fret… you can always just  “google it”  ..it’s an age related issue… everything for me these days is being called  “age related”…   🙂

I don’t miss it at all… I don’t know who murdered who, who abused who, who won, who lost, who blew up what  (very little that is  “good”  gets reported… only the evil people do to each other— I’ve been there… done that… glad that is over with in Philip’s life)…  Brings me back to the point I keep trying to make… you know the one…  this one…

“… what if.…  they had told me how that  guy had to  die … in order for  Jesus to live… deliberate… painful experiences… area by area in my life… no once and for all  doctrinal   thing… which is what I was taught…

to be continued….. never quite got to what I wanted to say about   power….  hmmmmm….
