I sighed and stared at a distraction --              the ceiling, while one     brought me tea, I confessed to thoughts that ran           the gamut "and time      is limited." The girls gently                cooed, and tattooed                        Alaska             with respect and an app-                    reciation for the most valu-                        able tears of pride.     The message was pithy and concise             just like me         a few months prior, before              a God-given resource that grew           together, into                 heavy-duty materialism    provided for the family. God gives us         time to choose how                  to waste it. He doesn't like      to seem so much more enlightened                                  than the rest of us but                   He talked about respect               for nature, and was adamant about using    every part of any children with special needs.                         As my mom had warned me years before,        I wasn't listening. I remembered the               Old Testament story of     "There's nothing alive in there."

Day 327, Pt. 1
