I found myself feeling rather abysmal about the world around me. I don't even know why. Heck, I can't even articulate what it was I was feeling.
Basically, I guess my doubt regarding my Heavenly residence finally culminated in a realization that people's certainty in their future was either A) True or B) The Bible modified for human consumption. I guess I was leaning toward the latter.
A letter I had hung on my wall from Franklin Graham's Sumaritan's Purse organization just filled my heart with joy and re-ignited a joy in me that I was fearing to be endangered.
Thank You God and thank you to all who've accepted Christ as your Savior and Lord. Thanks to the folks at FAITH COMMUNITY GRAYSON for their hospitality and warmth. And a good size shout out to my old friends at LEGACY MARIETTA, especially the Monday Night Men's Bible study. Keep on keepin' on!

Trying to buy BATMAN RETURNS (1992, Warner Bros) on Blu-ray. I don't want the steelbook format. Just a basic blu ray case is fine with me.
TARGET.COM -- $7.99
they won't ship it unless you add $17.01 or more worth of stuff to your cart.
WALMART.COM -- $7.99
They'll ship it for $5.99 extra. No in store pickup option available. wth???
AMAZON.COM --- N/A
Amazon Marketplace sellers are few and far between when it comes to reputable dealers with the ability to offer reasonable prices.
BESTBUY.COM -- $7.99
I didn't want ti to have to come to this, but it isn't coming to that. I just looked, that's all! $3.99 s/h.
DEEPDISCOUNT.COM
Same price as BestBuy when you factor in the s/h. Seriously? Those are the only two choices? C'mon!
I kinda wanted to buy it from BULLMOOSE.COM, but I am seriously freaking out b/c A) Their list of locations that they ship it from just decreased for almost no reason and B) their price went up. Is there some kind of opposition to ecommerce as it pertains to Hollywood? Or is blu ray seriously dropping in popularity???

this explains it, maybe
Chris Cornell of Soundgarden's reported suicide took me by surprise. It doesn't surprise me that he was depressed. Reading the section about his drug addictions and freedom from them, I find it hard to believe that he'd take his own life, and then I read this regarding his death, also from Wikipedia
Cornell's widow contacted insurance lawyer Kirk Pasich within a few minutes after her husband's death in order to handle publicity.[271] Pasich became the spokesperson for Cornell's widow and blamed Ativan for the singer's death, stating that Cornell would not intentionally take his own life.[272][271] Cornell's widow said, "When we spoke after the show, I noticed he was slurring his words; he was different. When he told me he may have taken an extra Ativan or two, I contacted security and asked that they check on him.
Of course, the Medical Examiner disagrees --- doing otherwise would be picking a fight with the FDA, which he would not get paid to do and might actually cost him his job.
I know people of all ages commit suicide, but there was no indication that he was anymore depressed in the 2010s than there was in the 1990s. If anything, it would have been less surprising to hear he committed suicide in the mid or late 90's, but the guy had not only managed to cope with his depression, but he took the painful steps necessary to combat this addictions to drugs and alchahol because he was deadset on living the best life possible. And this was 20 years before he hung himself.
Granted, I don't know the guy personally. If his wife hadn't spoken to back my perceptions up, I would just agree with the M.E.
Anyway...some random question that kept running through my head and finally got around to getting answered. Thought I'd share this miniature breaktrhough.
The real tragedy, as far as anyone knows, is that he didn't acknowledge Jesus Christ as his savior and thus missed out on his potential place in Heaven.
