life as we know it can and does change in the blink of an eye...won't go into details, but my son matt is hurting quite a lot right now and i just want to be here for him...it just shows me once again that the things and the relationships of this world cannot be our focus, because people always fail one another...it's just the way it is...and i am one of those humans of whom i speak...i just have to focus on the Lord and take these sorrows to Him and let Him work in our lives...i just want to put both of my kids in His hands and trust Him....it's hard, though, isn't it?

i spent the day working at "ye olde merrie greenwood renaissance faire" at howard amon park, and after church will work at it tomorrow...as a fundraiser for hanford high music, we sell tickets, take tickets, give stamps, take surveys, give out the "jester press" faire newspaper...it was fun, but very busy, very tiring, and of course, there weren't enough people to help in shifts, so i walked there this morning (a good 3 mile walk, but it was a beautiful morning walking mostly along the path along the columbia river) and worked from 8:30 am until about 5:00 pm...tomorrow i will go to church then walk there and i guess work from around 11:00 am until about 5:00 pm...i had never attended a renaissance faire before, it was enlightening and interesting...i like to experience new things in life, you know...

so tonight i will watch the local news, then nbc nightly news with john siegenthaler, then a repeat of csi, then i don't know...maybe a dvd...maybe i will read (finish harry potter and the goblet of fire maybe?)...or go to bed....maybe matt and i will play another game of chess with the pieces that are mariners and yankees players...no...i lost that game badly....i am not a good chess player, but i like the way it makes me think...

such sad news lately...those three boys in new jersey who accidentally died...i just pray for the families and friends...also the girl killed in florida in a shark attack...don't know what will happen in the situation with the young woman who is missing in aruba...how do families go on?...each day there are casualties of war in iraq and afghanistan...i know, i know, that death will end the earthly lives of each of us, but it's hard to handle...

later....
