Well, Halloween is gone for another year, thank God. Here comes Thanksgiving and then, a month later, Christmas. And then, a WEEK later, New Year’s Day. And then… it’s a dry, dusty desert of nothing until Easter, in April.

Why is this? Why are all our holidays scrunched together within a few weeks of each other? Holidays help break up the monotony, especially during the winter season when the days are cold and dark and forlorn. But how about late January, February, and March? Those months are awful, especially February. There’s no holiday at the bleakest time of the year!

Oh, I guess there’s Valentine’s Day, but that’s not really a holiday. It’s just a pink Halloween, actually. The candy still flows but it’s pink or red and in the shape of hearts. And besides, Valentine’s Day is only for a few.

Maybe we should change the holiday schedule, or at least add a holiday in February or March. What kind of holiday could it be, hm? I can’t think of anything in particular. Maybe we could move the Fourth of July to February. Holidays in the summer are needless– we’re all practically on holiday for those months, anyway. Well, I guess we HAVE to have at least one holiday in the summer, for those folks needing rv loans and good weather for travel…

ANYWAY. I don’t like all these holidays scrunched up together from November to New Year’s. BAH.

Did you happen to catch the latest news on China that made the viral rounds last week? Somebody surfing on Google Maps spotted these funky patterns in the Chinese desert. The news caught on like wildfire, so everyone seemed to have their theory on the reason for the patterns. Some of the best included aliens (aliens are always touted these days for doing funky, unexplainable things), air strips, farming methods, mining, as jogging paths to replace hcg weight loss programs, and — my personal favorite– as “real life size” grids of the streets of Washington, DC, and New York City. China is gonna take over the U.S. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

I found that particular theory funny because, well, China IS already taking over the U.S.!!! HELLO!! Don’t they own most of our debt and practically own us already?? Why they heck would they waste their ammunition when we’re practically giving our country to them in a handbasket?

Hoh boy, it’s going bonkers out there in the cruel, cruel world these days. It’s enough to make a girl want to hide her head in one of those cushy down jackets and escape the world. My blood pressure has been through the roof lately. Well, it sure feels that way.

So I turn to the psalms for a good dose of reality. We are all just dust, right? Some more than others…. haha! That’s a JOKE.

Anyway…. here’s the psalm. Isn’t it perfect?!

Psalm 37
A Psalm of David.
1 Do not fret because of evildoers,
Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,
And wither as the green herb.

3 Trust in the LORD, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.
4 Delight yourself also in the LORD,
And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.
6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.

7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath;
Do not fret—it only causes harm.

Exactly. It causes harm. No fret, no sweat. Lord, help me.
