Well, Did You Ever?

I have been informed by a Facebook user that I am a "bigot," because I indicated that I would not want to be attended by a nurse who had fake red hair and face piercings. Well, that's about par for the course, isn't it? There was a supposed ad on LinkedIn asking for healthworkers to use LinkedIn to find a job in the healthcare industry. I had commented that I hoped it was satire and I also said if someone who looked like that was going to attend me, I would get well quick and skedaddle. I was having this conversation with a friend of mine, about an employee at the grocery story that had half-inch fake eyelashes, some garish hair color and lip piercings and my friend said we were seeing employees like that more often, because people that look like that are the only people they can find to work. That must be the case. If so, then where are the normal looking people, or are there any anymore?. I also think I'm going blind with these LED headlights (I guess that's what they call them). I am seeing spots as I write this, kind of like my astigmatism on steroids. Last night I was driving home and all of a sudden there were those lights blinding me on a narrow road near my apartment, in front of me, not moving past me, just sitting there blinding me. I flashed my brights twice to no avail, and the car did not proceed to go on by me, it just sat there, with the blinding headlights right in my eyes, unmoving. I could see nothing ahead of me because this vehicle's lights were blinding me, but, fortunately, I could see through my rear-view mirror that I could back up, go into a driveway and turn around and get the heck out of there, which is what I did. I guess that's what the driver wanted me to do, as there were cars parked on both sides of the street and no room for two cars to pass each other. The whole world is going crazy, I'm very sure. My friend just told me about trying to pay a parking meter downtown and she had to go online to pay a parking meter. Now that is going too far. I honestly don't know how much more of this crazy world I can take. I'm pretty sure the devil designed it to drive everyone crazy. I will trust God not to let that happen to me. The other thing that happened tonight was my online bank account would not open for me after sending me an email telling me that mhy bank account update was ready for me. I'm sure that's the wrong terminology there, but you know what I mean. When I tried to log in, it said I was putting in the wrong password which I was NOT doing, then when I lied and said I "forgot my password," hoping to change it, it would not accept my username either! I went back and found the "contact us" prompt and emailed them about both of these events, and told them I would call tomorrow. This is the bank that has closed its lobby because it was robbed already twice this year. I am also having problems with my new water filter. It doesn't want to take the water through. I've had to put the filter over a little jar and just filter a little at a time. I learned about "burping" the water filter, by rubbing the membrane on top or "squeezing" the filter while the water is passing through. I'm getting tired of messing with this Zero water filter. I'm tempted to just start buying bottled water, regardless of how everyone preaches about plastic all the time. I'm over it. I am not going to stay on here long tonight, because I want to have a leisurely bedtime routine and not stay up too late,if possible, which is what I usually do. At least tomorrow is Friday. That's always a little relaxed anyway. As much as I complain, I really am encouraged, in general, about what God is doing in the world and in me. Still, I am needing to get back into Scripture more. I don't want to be like the Laodicean church, that lost its first love. So, I'm going to sign off. I do need to get into the word a little bit, at least. I need it just as much or more than I ever did. In conclusion, as corrupt and crazy and hateful and despicable as this world has become, I am hopeful because I am a citizen of heaven and "this world is not my home (I'm just passing through)." "This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek" (Hebrews 6:19,20). Goodnight, friends and brethren.
