Pray for Japan

  

      I have been doing a lot of meditating and contemplating and getting a lot of writing done. It's all in my journals. Things that I will share on here as time goes on. I needed to hit the mental "reset button" and give my brain a good flush. It worked. Clarity of thought and a little bit of spring cleaning make way for bright new things. It is almost Christmas time and I am in the Holiday spirit. I had to revive that spirit. For awhile the Holidays were kind of a downer for me. But these days they aren't. I love it! I believe in Santa. Not that a literal red fat man lives at the North Pole, but rather that the spirit of Santa is very real. He is timeless and I bet if we found another intelligent civilization out in space-they would have a Santa too!

     Today there was a 5.5M Quake in Japan. Ironic since I had an interesting conversation with a gentleman from the Philippines about Japanese earthquakes. No reports of immediate damage. It seems that 51 of the Sailors who helped in the rescue after the Fukushima incident have come down with various cancers. God bless those men and women. They have gone way above and beyond what they were called to do and have sacrificed so much as a result. And for that we should show appreciation. There has also been an incident where the Chinese Navy blocked the way of a US battleship that was trailing their carrier in the south China sea. While I can understand the Chinese wanting to protect their assets, it is never a smart idea to get in the way of America. Right or wrong, things like that come with a hefty price tag.
