The Know It Alls

okay, so we all know that person that thinks they know it all, whether you work with them, whether it is a friend or family member. There is at least one person in your life likes this or one who is no longer in your life. You know the type of person that has had everything in the world happened to them and in such a dramatic fashion, and the person who thinks they are the best of everything whether it is baking, cooking, working or gardening. Or the type of person who thinks it has ONLY happened to them and no one else so they make a huge deal about it.

Sometimes you let these people bother you and get to you but I was quickly reminded yesterdcay that good things come to those who wait, that even though those people are having their glory and rewards now here on earth, I will have my reward, my eternal reward.

I just finished a book, it took me two years to read it, but I finally finished it. "Same Kind of Different As Me" - what an awesome book. It made me think, that what if we were all to get along, what if we all treated each other the same, what if there were no class differences, what if it really didn't matter how much money you had, what if it really didn't matter who had the biggest car, the biggest house, what if it really didn't matter how we looked, or how we dressed, what if all of us would just see each other as who we truly are. What if all of us, treated each other no matter of any things mentioned above as a child of God. What if all of us,stopped being selfish and truly lived the way God wanted us to. We are all selfish, if you say you aren't, you are, at least in a little way. We all want what is best for ourselves and our family and friends. We do selfish things all of the time, some way more than others.

The book just really opened my eyes to what is really important in life, what really matters. None of the pettiness of our pasts, none of the pettiness of the wrong doings from others, none of the pettiness of being hurt by so called friends, none of the pettiness of living amongst selfish people - it doesn't really matter.

Everything can change with a phone call or a doctor's appointment. One minute you can worry about these pettinesses and the next day you are fighting for your life. (No, I am not sick).. Just someone I work with is and with that and reading the book it is putting life in perspective all over again. We are just here for a short time - let the pettiness go (as best as you can).

Here is another picture of Cary - it was on nky.com - what a great picture. Olivia is so jealous because Cary hasn't been in school all week. Different free lunches, trips to the TV stations, a free day off of school. Jen said Olivia keeps saying "It was just a game they won" :)



I hope everyone is having a great week and is staying warm!

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love to all,
