It amazes me the effects that our decisions have when we think that all we affect is ourselves. Guess that is why I have a really hard time making a selfish decision when I am looking at life the way I do.

Do you remember the epi of Joan where she goes to the dance with the bad boy who was going to shoot up his school a la Columbine? This is why I love this show so much:

Joan - You’re getting really good at showing up when nobody needs you.

God - Well, now, that’s your opinion.

Joan - So what do you want me to fail at this time?

God - Now, what makes you think you failed? You did exactly what I asked you to do. You observed.

Joan - Hmm! And what good did that do anybody? Ramsey’s going to jail. Adam hates me even more.

God - Observation is a more powerful force than you could possibly reckon. The invisible, the overlooked, and the unobserved are those that are most in danger of reaching the end of the spectrum. They lose the last of their light. From there, anything can happen.

Joan - Ok. Fine. I observed Ramsey. His life is still ruined.

God - His life wasn’t the only one at stake.

Joan - What do you mean?

God - There’s Laura Eason, ninth-grader. She plays the flute. She would have been one of the first to go, coming out of orchestra at the wrong time. And Andrew Bayer, he would have tried to save his friend Lawrence Distasi and lost his life. And Gavin Price and 3 other students in the cafeteria and Mr. Harvey and Ms. Schmidt in the library. And finally Steve Ramsey himself. And for each of these faces, Joan, there are 12 more whose lives would have come to an end today, lives altered forever by you, by the simple effect of being present… by entering the light, by joining the dance.

I have my MyTyme marked with all of the times. I am such a Nerd.

Did you see last weeks Apprentice? Can we say Jackass! Never risk more than you need to!

Do you know what is supposed to be happing on Amy?

Joan goes along with the conversation that we had while I was in Dallas. What happens when you find out that the faith is found only in yourself and you are forced to see that you are more than just the ray?

People keep saying that. Why do people keep saying that? I’m up early *every* morning. 6:45am. Kids…that whole “get ready for school” thing. Some days I even get to run errands before work!

Joan will be interesting, since they made it out like she was seeing things.

~Jax, is a happy woman

I have that problem at home. It pisses me off. Let me know if you get it fixed.

Did you know that LiveWire has a drink by date?

I seem to be having cookie problems today. LJ won’t let me stay logged in.

Just vague teasers
I can’t wait for Joan to start!
I hope that season premier is just as good as this one.

I was wondering about that deleted post :p

WATCH IT! I don’t really watch ER, but I’ve seen a few episodes.
