Just Makes Me Think....

Sometimes I have moments of discontent.

- I see a new or fancier car and I think how nice it would be to have one of those!
- I want to get new carpet for the whole house.  Our is getting kind of yucky.
- I need more clothes even though my closet is stuffed.
- One of my friends has jewelry that everyone envies.
- My husband is driving me crazy!

You get the idea.  I'm sure I'm not alone in my moments.  I think just about everyone has them.  One of the reasons I enjoy not getting the newspaper and having a DVR that we can zip through the commercials on, is that I simply just don't want so much stuff anymore.  I don't have the constant barrage of something beyond myself trying to convince me that I just don't have enough.  I still have my moments though.

This past Saturday, Hubby and I took a detour and drove through just a small portion of the devastation in Joplin, MO.  The tornado ripped through the city on May 22, 2011.  It is now two months later.  This is what it looks like today:

 It makes me think.
