Thoughts while Traveling

It's election day and I am (ahem) wearing red. Haha. That was an accident, definitely an accident. However as I was driving to work this morning whilst being inundated with negative ads for Virginians Thelma Drake and Phil Kellum once again, I realized that I was donning a bright red shirt and had a nice giggle. And no, I had not yet had a cup of coffee.

Since that time this morning, I have since consumed my daily cup of joe, and have already had a healthy political discussion with my fellow cubicle counterparts. I have also been offered stickers and necklaces, reminding Virginians to "Vote no". Apparently, I do not work in "PatRobertsonville" any longer. Otherwise I would be gunned down on my way back to my car tonight. Perhaps.


Which reminds me of something- Sunday morning I was challenged and inspired by what I saw on television. We didn't go to church because Justin was flying to Atlanta (for his grandmother's funeral- which is today- praying for the family) and I had to take him to the airport. So, like a good wife I laid in bed and watched church on TV while he scrambled around looking for ties and socks, etc. Sorry, honey.
I heard a good sermon on being "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood..." I Peter 2:9. It was a good teaching on Spiritual giftings...

When I got home from the airport I was flipping channels again and landed on Cspan,
where Barack Obama was talking about his new book, The Audacity of Hope at Boston University, I believe. I must say, I found myself responding out loud as he answered questions about the book which holds his approach to politics & more. The involuntary response from me wasn't because I am ultra enthusiastic about politics or the like. My attention span is usually about as long as a bobby pin when listening/watching political programming. I mean, I have my views and vote accordingly like any other citizen, but I don't choose to spend my time absorbing political propaganda or debating issues until sunrise.

My father was the one that somewhat introduced the good Senator from Indiana to Justin and I, and told us we should check him out. I have been lately, and especially after seeing that press conference with him, I plan on reading his book in the near future. He made sense.

So, I sat and actually took notes as he spoke. Do you think I miss grad school?
Here I am , taking notes from the TV.... yes, I miss school alot. Anyways, he said some things that have really stuck with me regarding seperating church & state, faith issues, how he approaches the "hot button" issues that dicated the last presidential election, etc, etc.

I think he has a lot of things to say. I think I will listen.

Man, I am long winded today. I still feel like writing.

Justin and I have recently subscribed to Netflix and we are enjoying it immensely. I got a movie in the mail yesterday that was not on our list and yet had my name clearly on it. I was intruiged and opened it up. It was a movie called "Frankie and Johnny are Married" and I watched it last night. It was throughly enjoyable. I can't wait for Justin to see it, I think he will like it a lot. MY question is: Does Netflix have psychic powers and now sends out movies that they know you will love? Or maybe they knew that I wouldn't have anything to watch on TV Monday night due to the Country Music Awards and felt they needed to fulfill their promise to entertain me? I missed that in the advertising. Wow- what's the world coming to. No need for humans anymore. Really.

Ode to Netflix?
