old and new

i love old and new technology; as i type away i am listening to oldies...bob dylan and some other stuff. i love my records and record player which is at my home, and i do listen to alot of records at The Ben, but...

i don't know what to say except that everything is changing: sometimes it seems like we're getting better at all that we do, but i the pessimist/realist can say that we're not getting better as a whole. it would be awesome if we (america) could consume less resources and etc. and send that which we don't need to places like africa where alot of people are dying of AIDS. we need to consume less and give away more, i am guilty as the next person, possession-wise; i have so much crap that i hold onto (why? i don't know..completely.) that i should give the majority of it away to those who have less than i. *sigh* i guess this is GOD telling me that i should live the simpler life... the life that is more dependent on him instead of the stuff that consumes part of my life.
i am going to leave the united states someday; i know, it'll be sad and i'll miss alot of people i know/care/etc for. this life in the u.s. isn't for me... i have realized this for sometime now, and it's something i have a passion for... to leave the u.s. and become a missionary-of-sorts and learn to depend on GOD for everything. i rely on my own strength too much, but i live the posh life, who needs total dependency on GOD? (i say this with tongue-in-cheek and foot-in-mouth.)
so...
this
country
won't
be
the
final
resting
place
of
me...
