Surviving the Coming Disaster

Attempted once again to watch a "warning" video that would tell me how to survive...I can't do it. They bait so long I can't stay with it. I guess I'll die...but I am expecting that sooner or later that will happen anyway, so who's to say I wasn't supposed to die in a disaster. I watched a program on public television about Carol Burnett. I have enjoyed her performances, but somehow when you start getting details it changes. I want to know...she is an icon of my youth. But what is they say familiarity breeds contempt. She's famous, she funny, but she's a stumbling bumbling human just like everyone of us. Her success on the stage does not make her the example to follow. No one is worthy of following. Television for all its promise and sometimes success at entertaining and educating is really just a waster of time. Again once more, I need to set priorities. Remind myself what is true. List again my highest and best use at this time in my life and then set about DOING. I am great at thinking...not so great at DOING. "Be doers of the word and not just hears only." James said it...he referenced looking in the mirror and forgetting what we look like or forgetting our "image." HNV says "what kind of man he is." Who am I - what kind of woman am I? I know that I am God's woman servant. I don't fret to be a man or famous, although I like to be appreciated. I just really want to do something that matters to someone. God has let me matter to those in my small circle and that is satisfying. To be a pipe...I prayed that...a conduit of God's love and truth. This week: the anxiety producing THINGS or ATTITUDES that are vexing me... 1) knowing that Charlie disapproves of the class...knowing that he's going to try and thwart the effort 2) Kristy's snarky comment to mom...it makes me want to snipe back, but I know that's wrong. I am going to send notes and pray. I cannot do anything, but God can I am sure.
