The news seems to be all bad all the time. I think that is what sells. It also seems to be the primary disposition of most of us; myself included. Think about what we focus on. "How is so and so doing?". Answer: "Good, but shewee let me tell you in great detail about the bad news in their life." In some sense we want to know so we can help and minister to people, but I think in some sense it can satisfy some particular yearning inside of us; and I don't know exactly what that is. It would be one thing if it where only on a personal level, those who we know and can actually help, but study after study shows that bad news travels further and faster than that which is good; even if its someone we don't know and even if we don't do anything about it (And I am including praying in the do category).
So, I'm quiting the negative train. Quite frankly, my biggest complaint in life is how we pronounce the word Colonel. It has bothered me for years. How do you get Kernel our of those letters? Where exactly is the R? But, if that is my biggest complain...life is really really good. I am thankful for that fact and cognizant that it will not last for ever. Storms will come, things will not go according to plan. But, for now it is good....very very good. 2 Cor 4:17 "Our afflictions are light and momentary and work for us a far greater and everlasting glory that far outweighs them all."
