The World According to Leslie

WOW!   Can you believe today is my 550th post?  I can’t believe I have had that much to talk about!   Ok! OK!  So, some days I really don’t have that much to talk about, but you guys/gals “listen” anyways.   Today, I wish I had something fabulous to say today, but I don’t really.   Yesterday, I was looking through pics of the Oklahoma tornado ruins.  There was a pile of rubble and in the top of it there was a plaque (or frame or something).  It simply said, “The best things in life aren’t things.”   If you think about it…..  They aren’t! The best things in life aren’t the cars and houses and jewelry.  They are the friends, family, love!    So just think about that today as we continue to love on the people of Oklahoma through this tragedy.  They will rebuild.  They are strong.  Let’s show them….they are LOVED!

For me, and my musical brain, it’s hard to say “Oklahoma” without singing it.  You know…. “Oklahoma’s O k l a h o m a.  Oklahoma’s OK!”    (I think that’s right…it’s been 100 years since I’ve actually seen the musical or heard the music.  Need to dig that up!)   Anyways…..   Today, my heart goes out to all the people in Oklahoma who were devastated by the tornado.  The videos and pictures are horrible, but I’m sure they aren’t even close to showing all the destruction.    When I first heard about it, I did a Google Map search to see if my best friend/”brother” was close to it.  About 100 miles away.  Safe!  However, there are many who are not far away and safe.   Please keep these people—the parents, teachers, friends, family, volunteers, Red Cross, and our Country—in your prayers.  They need us more than ever now.
