Do you ever just get fed up with human life??
I am talking everything from politics to global warming....................
I know that God is in control, but sometimes all the rhetoric just totally frustrates me.
What totally put the icing on the cake was the big headlines in the paper this morning about the environmentalists filing yet more lawsuits to stop the building of a new power plant that I just so happen to work at. This new plant will be significantly more environmentally friendly that the old plant we are now running, but these people will not not understand that. So they are keeping our judicial systems tied up with lawsuits trying to stop building the new plant (which by the way has already started construction), and will employ up to 2000 people during the 4 year construction and it will create 50 new jobs once the new plant starts operation.
This on top of the new presidential administration, all the billions of dollars in buyouts, its just frustrating...........
Give me some scripture to keep me in check..................

Pro 21:1-'The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will. 2 All deeds are right in the sight of the doer, but the LORD weighs the heart. 3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. 4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart--the lamp of the wicked--are sin. 5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to want.'
Romans 13:13-'So, in the same obedience, be subject to authority for there’s no authority granted which isn’t established by God[as was Pharaoh’s to show where his allegiance lie]. 2 Therefore, whoever resists [even Pharaoh’s] authority opposes the ordinance of God[in arrogance] and will suffer Pharaoh’s wrath upon themselves. 3 Authority is not to cause fear of evil but to urge obedience in righteousness.'

When I get fed up, I back away from the table and get to work or take a nap.
