Can it be the weekend now?

Hey.
I read a book, the screwtape letters, and it talked about how being nice and living for the Lord when you're doing fine is no big feat, but the real measure of someone's love for others is how she treats people when she's stressed/angry/etc. After what I would consider a stressful day, I sat back and realized that I didn't like how I acted some of the time. :(

"Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway."

This quote is about the only thing that got me through today (I guess I might as well admit that I am definitely one of the suckers who is motivated by inspirational quotes. Not the corny ones about hope and friendship hugs, but the decent ones.). Sometimes you have to stop, take a breath, and remember that if you live for the LORD, you're living the best life possible and doing the absolute best you can. I guess, that being said, I just need to make sure I live for the LORD everyday.


Moving on, let me preface everything by saying that I have NOT verified these facts. But...
I learned yesterday ...
US car companies have been producing cars that run on ethanol for OTHER countries for years...yet have you ever seen one on the US market? Isn't that interesting? We're having so much trouble with inflated oil prices and we're dependent on other nations, and the technology is available for use, but for some reason we haven't implemented it in the US market. Oh, the things you learn while waiting for test cars.

I also learned that in Nigeria, the police will stop you just because they want money. Sketchhhhhhhh.

Now I know.
