Beautiful people...

Well... I was not voted as a "beautiful person." How tragic.... I figured that I would not get voted, because I am not the world's standard of "drop-dead gorgeous." I thank God that I don't need the world's approval of my looks to be happy. I am satisfied with myself the way I am and feel sorry for those who do need that approval. They may have a very unhappy life. Now I must go and find something else to blog about. :P Auf Wiedersehen.

Burning tears...

On Saturday September 27th, I heard the most wretched news. My friend, Emily, was dead. I didn't want to believe it... It couldn't be. I just talked to her the night before. The rest of the night was spent in tears... why? how? it's not fair... ran through my mind. I was right, it wasn't fair, but life so often isn't. I was mad... at her attacker... at God.. Why didn't HE protect her? He could have, so why didn't he? I was so distraught that I didn't listen for an answer. If I had, I would have heard what I know now. "My ways are not your ways." I do not know why God allowed this to happen, and I am extremely sad that this happened to Emily.. especially since she was so young and so ambitious. I am sure that if she had lived longer, she would have been amazing. Emily was a talented and loving young woman and she would have become even more so as she got older. Emily was a beautiful person inside and out.

Esta e' seere, Emily. We love you.
