"Let my People Go"

I don't recall where I first heard the expression, "Let my people go."  Maybe it was in the Ten Commandment movie, or in the scriptures, or in some southern slavery movie.  But for some reason, that expression has been in my mind all morning.

I've contemplated just what that could mean in my life.  Does it mean letting go of the people in our past?  Or does it refer to present day people, or is it me crying out for some calmness and order in my life.

Over the past year, I have become too addicted to the computer.  Maybe that's what this means.  The computer has a hold on me, that I need to break away from.  Just like in one of those horror movie's when an inanimate object springs to life, and clutches the person and eats them alive!  That's it!  It is the computer screaming, "Let my people go."  I need  to run as fast as I can away from the clutches of my two computers.

You know, I think I need to be on a computer diet, along with the food diet, exercise diet, reading diet, and diet until your butt falls off diet.  I need to be put in time out, and while I'm there, could someone please put Dr. McSteamy in time out with me?  That would help me stay put much longer.

Oh, and while I am punishing myself, by limiting my computer addiction...could some kind person include some chocolate and Cafe Rio for me and McSteamy?

Seriously though, there are people in my life that I never want to let go of.  And there is one or two along the way, that I could place my foot in the center of their behind ,and kick them to the curb!  There are very few people I dislike.  Usually, they are people who have been unkind to me and to others, and to them I say, "LET MY PEOPLE GO!"  Start being  a caring, compassionate adult.  Put others first.  Stop thinking YOU are the center of the universe.  Those of you who love me, and know me, know to whom this message is directed.

Ok, so to end this rambling blog I have decided to limit the number of times I check my e-mails and Facebook each day.  Once in the morning, and once in the evening.  The time I waste on the computer can be spent preparing to be a Nun:)  What a life that would be. Wear the same clothes everyday, no makeup or hair worries, no man to please.  Sounds pretty good doesn't it!  Of course I am kidding.  My newly found time will be spent scrapbooking, reading the scriptutres, reading for fun, and taking care of myself.  And yes, that includes the work till your butt falls off diet!!!!
