"When you want a hot meal without a big deal..."

Well, things are still busy here in my camp. I finished up my pre-nursing classes for the year, and now I'm looking at a program out west. If everything happens right, I may be back in school sooner than I thought. In the meantime I'm working, recording, doing youth group stuff, looking at jobs, and trying to tie up loose ends that have been hanging for the better part of the school year. When I stop and think, all I can think is "Shoot, have I got stuff to do."

However, no one really wants to read about how busy I am, so I will leave you with this. The other day I noticed that Hot Pockets are kind of undignified in the world of food. They are made strictly for the microwave (you can bake them if you really want to, but who does that?). No glamor, no thoughtful preparation; just a few laps around the humming box until cheese oozes out the end. I got to thinking about this poor existence, and what came to my mind are people whose lives seem to fall under the same category. Some folks are dealt a duller hand than others in whatever way, and they can get a Hot Pocket complex if they aren't careful.

But the bottom line is, God has made all human beings with the same worth. All have been made with wonder and dignity; in the very image of God. Circumstances do not equal worth, although that is a lie that we can come to believe at times. May that not be the case, or at least no longer.
