Isn’t that Everything?

Just a thought on my mood today… this song just pretty well fit. It’s 19 C (55 F) sunny, warm and georgeous today. And.. Despite not being a huge country fan, sometimes the lyrics count more than what the “sound” is.



“Isn’t That Everything”

I might not have a million dollars in the bank
But I’ve got food on my table and gas in my tank
I might not have designer sheets on a king size bed
But I lay down at night with a roof over my head

Yeah, I’ve got friends who love me
A big blue sky above me
And your two arms around me baby every night

[Chorus:]
Isn’t that everything
I don’t need anything
It’s only the simple things I believe
That matter most in life
I’m more than satisfied
All that I have is all I need
Isn’t that everything

Now I’m not saying I don’t dream from time to time
Every girl I know loves the way a diamond shines
But when the party’s over and the glitter starts to fade
It’s all about your piece of mind at the end of every day

I know Jesus loves me
Up in that sky above me
I see that morning sun again and feel alive

[Chorus:]
Isn’t that everything
I don’t need anything
It’s only the simple things I believe
That matter most in life
I’m more than satisfied
All that I have is all I need
Isn’t that everything

Yeah, I’ve got friends who love me
A big blue sky above me
And your two arms around me baby every night
I know Jesus loves me
Up in that sky above me
I see that morning sun again and feel alive

[Chorus:]
Isn’t that everything
I don’t need anything
It’s only the simple things I believe
That matter most in life
I’m more than satisfied
All that I have is all I need
Isn’t that everything

Isn’t that everything
Isn’t that everything

4000 Deaths

of American Soldiers since the war in Iraq began. Still, I’m speechless – because these are the people of my generation who are dying.

Do we ever stop looking or holding our breath? Those of us who have friends and family there? It seems like I check the news footage and the videos and yes, even the lists to make sure that my friends and my family aren’t on it. I know, in my heart, that the answer is No. We never stop looking – and Thanking God that for one more day, they are still alive.

So, for the 4000 families who have lost that special person, I send my heart felt Thanks. I can’t replace them, I can’t tell you how much we as a people appreciate their service. All I can do is make a promise that I too am doing my best to make sure that we have a new leader, an honest leader, and one who will attempt to get us out of there so that other families will not have to suffer the same emotions.

And Now, A Moment of Silence, in honor of the 4000 casualty who I’m sure won’t be the last….

What ’R Ya Drinkin? Medicine?!? Yep!

** Warning – this will read like a bad horror movie – don’t read before you go to bed! **
This is just scary. With all the outrage at most of the pesticides and so on that are in our drinking water, there’s a new study out today saying that most of the USA’s drinking water is also polluted by pharmacuticals.
Grandma’s heart medicine (check); little Bobby’s epilepsy medicine (check); my antibiotics (check)
You scared yet? You worried Yet?
Well, maybe you should be.
Why? because these are actually formulated to work on the human body. Some are fat soluble and others could react with drugs and/or meds that you’re currently taking. And long term studies of “drug coctails” in various forms – including what is in your drinking water haven’t been done.
And the EPA? oh they’re not screening or regulating how much pharmacuticals are supposed to be found in your drinking water. What’s this mean? that there can be any amount (ok I’ll admit it’s usually trace amounts and some experts say it’s nothing to worry about) in there. Heck, some areas of the country, because it’s not regulated – aren’t even testing!!
Are you Scared yet? Think about this – over time – how does this affect you? Could it be the reason there’s more cancer now than before? Could it be the reason that some people are having a difficult time with pregnancy? Could it be the reason why drugs aren’t working and why some strains of virus/bacteria are getting stronger and harder to treat? The answer to all of these is “maybe” – only because there’s no data to say officially yes or no.
Now that I have you freaked out, (as you should be) please, take a moment, read and digest this AP article – and you’ll be scared too. At any rate, it made me think twice before I took a swallow from my glass of water….
