#18 – Memorial Day

by

Memorial DayPhotograph a Day number eighteen. In honor of Memorial Day, I went to the Marietta National Cemetery this morning to take the photograph for today.

Seeing all the memorial markers in the cemetery was very touching. To think of all the men and women who gave their lives for people they have never even met, and all the family members that those brave souls left behind. Please don’t forget the ones that gave so much for us.

On the way home I prayed and asked God to relay this message to all those who have fallen and are being remembered today: “Thank you for all that you gave so that we could be free.”

Dead Air

by

Jamie and I were listening to the radio the other day. I understand that they have to play the advertisments to pay the bills. When the advertisment was over, there was nothing, just dead air, complete quiet for about a minute. A minute is a very long time when it comes to Radio air time. I have a few scenerios in my head of what is going on when a radio station has dead air:

1. The people that work there are all running around like Chicken Little, crashing into each other looking for the right button to push to get some music playing.

2. The is a manager yelling over the company intercom that “If there is not something playing on the air in two seconds somebody is losing their job.

3. The DJ from a rival station has snuck in and unplugged the MP3 player.

4. An intern on their break drinking a three dollar coffee is acting like a highly paid DJ and just kickin’ back in a chair to prop up his or her feet and kicked the pause button by accident.

Ok, now you know some of the thoughts that are in my head.

Ticket for Seatbelt Violation

by

While riding down the road today I noticed something as a car passed me going the other direction. There was a seatbelt hanging out of the driver’s door. I thought to myself, (I never really got that saying “I thought to myself”, who else are you going to think to?). Anyway, how is the driver of that car going to explain not having a seatbelt on to the police officer that is directing traffic about ten cars ahead? Maybe the officer will not notice the shiny metal buckle swinging from the door frame. It is possible that the metal buckle clanging against the ground will be muffled by a passing car or the police radio. But, the jerking motion of the driver and the yelling “What it the heck is the darn seatbelt hung on” through clenched teeth, is definitely going to bring some attention to the fact that the seatbelt is not securely fastened.

The Lack of Thinking

by

As we go through the day just how much do we really think? Our life can be so busy sometimes that we don’t have time to think about very much. It is kind of like going into automatic pilot. I found myself in a place where I would go through my daily life at work without a new thought popping into my head. It could be because there so many things going on at work that I have to take care of that I was pushing the next thoughts to the side.

I’ve decide to change that by allowing time for me to ponder thoughts as they come to me or at the very least make a note of it so I can go back to it when work is not so hectic. This blog might also help me. If I start posting more under the ponderings category then we will know that my plan is working.
