In life we have so many things that can vie for our attention, just picking up the paper and dwelling too long on the mess of the world can weigh down our hearts. Makes me long for the coming of the Lord all the more!!!
It's hard to keep the negative from invading your mind though.. anyone else find that? Maybe it's just my personality.. I tend to expect the worst possible when negative things come along... I have to fight that every day it seems. Am I the only one like this???

Its normal, we are after all still mere humans with our frailties, we DO get scared..we DO panic, and we Do "overreact" like this
when news of impending crisis is heard., I try NOT to listen to the news on t.v. (almost always depressing) not even the weather anymore, and I have stopped watching those forensics/crime shows on cable t.v., that although interesting at times, are also sad and definitely, scary!
Only good thing about those is that one CAN at least learn about things not to do or do, to avoid being a crime victim., funny none of those ever mention PRAYER or leaning upon the LORD., though so that is yet another reason to avoid such topics, 'cause as some of us know, our LORD is our protector., if we abide in Him, He abides in us, and we have nothing to fear., (but fear itself of course)
WE DO have a humongous responsibility to ourselves to avoid the bad, embrace the good, while not being completely ignorant of what is going on around us., a fine line to walk, indeedy!
