el-oh-vee-ee

I don't know if I'm getting weirder with my age, but some things just bug me now a days. I went to a baseball game last night with my best friend. As I walked to go get peanuts someone behind me said "HEY" so I turned around to see a couple of girls that were apparently yelling for someone else. I turned around & they started to make fun of me for turning around b/c I thought they were talking to me. This didn't bother me on a personal level b/c I mean they were like 13 & they are just at that age where you make fun of everyone. Then later in the game the coach started going off on the umpire for apparently making a bad call. Everyone there proceeded to clap and cheer on the fight. Yeah, it's all in good fun & it's just a game. But for some reason this rubbed me the wrong way. Why do we treat others like that & condone it when it happens?

I read an article the other day about this homeless man that helped a woman that was being mugged in NYC. Since he helped her, he ended up being stabbed by the mugger. He laid in the street where many people passed him in a pool of blood & walked on by. Another guy proceeded to take a picture & leave. Unfortunately the man lay there & died. No one stopped. No one even called for help until it was too late. What has the world come to that we completely ignore someone in need of help?

Another story that got to me was one about a baby that was "aborted" & thrown aside. A day later a doctor realized that the baby was breathing. WHAT?! That baby was sitting there for 24 hours alone. The baby of course died the next day. & why did the mother want to abort? B/c the baby had a cleft lip.

Where is the love now a days? This disgusts me. Not saying that I'm extremely educated on everything. But sometimes I don't think people are aware of other countries or better yet people that live beside them. The US is extremely selfish & we take so much for granted. We can't even help the people that live down the road from us.

This blog is kinda pieces of my thoughts. It may not make much sense. But God commands us to love Him & to love others. The bottom line: LOVE. So stop judging and making fun of others & definitely stop putting yourself first. After all, it's not about us. It's about HIM.
