It was my favourite Psalm
My best friend's age.
But what I hate about 27, is that's how many million people are enslaved today. Say something about it. Educate, Activate, Terminate.
Because people were never meant to be bought or sold.
words spoken fan the flame
Something I learned today: 126,000 abortions are performed daily worldwide
And 30,000 preschoolers die every day from preventable causes.
I couldn't find any stats about how many die in wars, genocides, infanticide. . .
Over 150,000 little kids dying each day because we just don't value life enough. We're too selfish, eliminating fetuses because they're inconvenient. . .ignoring hungry, thirsty, sick toddlers because we just don't care.
One of the best parts of my life is I get to kiss sweet baby faces. Sounds funny, but its true. I love cuddling little cuties.
So sad to think over 50 million babies never make it out of the womb alive. What the hell is our problem?
I have realised I could go to Colorado sooner than I expected, as there really are good paying nanny jobs out there.
With a savings goal of 10 thousand, it would take at least 18 months; less with a second income.
My associate's will take about 18 months going almost full-time
But here's the thing: I want to volunteer with CASA, which asks for a 2 year commitment
And it requires a CA DL. I already tried changing my car title. . .but it will require another trip to CO. I need to find out if I can get a CO title with a CA license.
Gahhhhh it's so hard having my heart in one state but being productively stuck in another.
One thing's for sure. . .there is a lot of trouble here. Not that it is not in CO.
If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world. If none of my earthly pleasures satisfy it, that does not prove that the universe is a fraud. Probably earthly pleasures were never meant to satisfy it, but only to arouse it, to suggest the real thing. If that is so, I must take care, on the one hand, never to despise, or be unthankful for, these earthly blessings, and on the other, never to mistake them for the something else of which they are only a kind of copy, or echo, or mirage. I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that other country and to help others to do the same.
