The Only Thing Left to Say

I tried to write about President Obama's inauguration, but honestly, nothing came to mind. You see the time for elegant words is over, the time for action is upon us. Like him or not, President Barack Obama exposed where America was headed and let us realize what America could be. I simply say that although all politicians are crooked in some way, perhaps we now have a President that will push through mindless arguements and try and put this country back on track.

Death, An Icy Reminder

Its tough to accept death. Regardless of when, why, or how, death is a rude reminder that the world can be harsh and unforgiving. What is tough about death is not necessarily the emotions towards the recently departed, but the realizations and emotions that result within your own self. You begin to think of how death's icy embrace will take you, and then you worry if all your faith is for naught. Oh yes my friends, death can effect us in ways we are never prepared for. But its hard to be confronted with mortality when we are told that we have our whole life to look forward to. Thoughts of death are thrust into our minds, and we cannot help but dwell on when our demise will come. But life is a journey. And death is but part of the journey we will all travel. It is okay to think of death, and sometimes be fearful on where it might lead us. But we can never let it consume us. You have to celebrate life to its fullest, and live it with no regrets or hesitation.
