Kind of funny story (but possibly just to me):
As the presidential election is getting closer, I’ve been starting to get more convinced that I’m not going to vote for McCain or Obama. (but we’ll see).  So, I decided to start looking at third party candidates. I was clicking around on Ralph Nader’s website, and I clicked on [...]

I’ve been really anxious/worried lately.  I totally get that worrying is an empty action that does nothing to actually solve any problems.  I guess I just suck at the “mind over matter” stuff.  I’ve been trying to do better in this area with a combination of prayer, moment-by-moment living, the “6 month rule”, and hot tea.  [...]
