Afternoon Papers

I dont often read papers. I dont buy them - so I dont read them. And well...i have to be honest - im quite ignorant about what is going on in the world...which I think - isnt so good. I think its important to know what is happening, what is going on in the world in which we live, so we know whats happening as well as being in touch with the world God created...and what we need to be praying for...

To be honest though...although the morning/evening papers which i now frequently read on the way home from work - mostly because theyre free and handed out at various places on my journey that you have to kind of get one - though I only get Lite...because its the only one that prints with ink that doesnt come off on your hands! I hate that! So I only read Lite haha...anyways...deviating a bit.
So yes where was I? yes ...to be honest - reading the papers just makes me remember why I dont watch the news much etc - because its always so depressing! So much rubbish is going on in this world - i dont know how much one can take. Every day on the news - something about Madeline....wars, killings, and Britney .....and so much more. Its rare to have good news!

I just ...i do think it is important to know whats going on - but at the same time it just fills me with just...a real sense of sadness... and i do ask myself - do I really want to know whats going on in the world. Just thinking about it though...God does. He wants to know whats happening. He does know whats happening and He wants to so much be in people's lives and healing this world of pain and sorrow and everything else that is going on.
I guess its just knowing how to read / watch/ listen to news - and not get bogged down by it all...

I really dont like papers....but in some way - some of the articles i have been reading - have just i suppose helped me to realise a bit about what is on my heart. Teaching me - what God feels about these things and just opens my eyes to what concerns I have in particular about the world, because I feel that we do - individually - have things on our heart, something that stirs us - moves us, makes us want to act, do something, pray.

So one newspaper story I did read which had this effect on me was one about a girl who is thought to have committed suicide - on a rail track - leaving her mum and dad behind....only a week later- the mother was found dead in the same place...also thought to have commited suicide, because of the loss of her daughter. That just - it pained me so much. How much pain and suffering can one go through - ...man, that just really - it made me think.. it made me feel - i dont even know. i mean...how much sorrow was the girl feeling...to then end her life....how much was the mother going through...? and now - the father - who once had 2 people in his life - who are now gone. ...
Why do these things happen....? Meep
