A Beloved Teacher

This week, Virginia Tech lost a beloved Professor.
Not only was this man a great teacher who devoted a huge amount of time to his students, but he was generally a funny guy. Lecture was never a dull moment, and being a retired police officer, he was able to relate lessons to real life situations.
I can't help but think that God wants me to look at this situation and realize how minimal my problems are. I am lucky enough to have an amazing family and friend structure, what more do I really need? Of course school is stressful, and I put a lot of stress on myself, but what really matters in life is something that God gives me everyday. God wakes me up, loves me unconditionally, and then it is up to me to decide to have a good attitude or not, and it is my decision to live my life to the fullest each day or not. My little tits and tats over how big my thighs are, or complaining about my singleness is so trivial. My professor left behind a family and community who must pick up the pieces that he was holding together.
If you have a moment today, think about how small problems are trivial and maybe even make a list about them. Circle the problems are important and cross out the problems that are not worth it. Live life to the fullest every chance you get. And finally, please send out a prayer for all the people who are dealing with this tragic loss. God Bless, have a wonderful day.
