Wasting... la tercera parte

Wasting series:
la primera parte
la segunda parte

And now for tercera parte:

DUUUUUUUUUUUDE - the media has even noticed!
http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/22/40-of-u-s-food-wasted-report-says/
I want to scream and probably break something.  It's downright a.n.n.o.y.i.n.g. when people waste like that! I mean... it's not just me who realizes Americans have issues!  As the article mentions, there are many many many ways you waste your food!  And plus, it's not just happening in homes, it's happening at stores, restaurants, etc..
And wala!
Alot also has to do with pantry management or in-store inventory,
And we won't even talk about the kids who nonchalantly throw their apples, oranges, or whatever their mothers lovingly packaged for them as snack into the trashcan at school when nobody's looking,
but the core issue is laziness and selfishness,
which, of course, is sin.
Wasting is a sin.
It's a sign of bad stewardship.
It's not Christ-like.
STOP IT!

On another line of thought - I toldya Asians and other ethnicities don't have as great an issue with this.
American food waste is 10 times what is experienced in Southeast Asia.
No scientific data for that, but it's pretty obvious, common sense even.
If China wasted like America did...
I don't know...
It'd be ...
like...
a fourth-world country,
and not just in the country areas, but the big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Sichuan, etc.

And that's just the resources, think of everybody's time you've wasted not consuming the product you purchased fully to its capacity.

And I'll stop ranting... and actually think of ways to not waste... and educate others on this...

Internal Emotional Wearing-down

Where I've come from: I have been driven by fear and a desire to please people. I hate that. I thought I could live for my own values and beliefs... but I haven't been able to. Not until this past Sunday. I told my mother off... I was breaking down inside. I have wanted to die for over a year now. Everything seemed hopeless. Not so much for me, but for my purpose and effective work on planet earth. I saw no fruit. I could labor for the rest of my days to live and serve my God. And never ever see the results... and not that I need to see something... but because I knew that what I did WAS POINTLESS. I was doing nothing. And it was because in my mother's eyes, I would never be ready. I would never be enough. She thought she was protecting. She wasn't letting me grow. I can't do more if all you let me do is what is safe. ~CJ

Thankful Thursday XI

Aaaggghhh... I am so behind in the blogging world, like one of my friends says, " it's not even funny. " *sighs*  And I didn't get the chance to blog the Phriday Photos / Funnies - so I'll do a double one tomorrow :) . Anyways - what I'm thankful for this week: 30. BLOGS!!! - I'll admit it. When I first heard the word "blog", I thought the cyberworld couldn't get any sillier.  Well, way to go, CJ. Just join the silliness. Evidently the silliness has its advantages O.O . It's a place for me to rant, rave, and ramble, whether or not my readers want to see it.  It helps me organize my wordy thoughts.  And!! I can share what's been on my mind without having to know if people are looking at me strangely... hehe.  A more serious reason: I can share and read other's testimonies on how God is answering prayers: Answereth All !! *big smile* 31. 2 jobs - It's strange to say my piano teaching is a job, since I really enjoy telli...

Friday Funnies III / Phriday Fotos II

Asis: Woah - I just swallowed a ton of food. Jsis: Most people do... Asis: I meant at ONE time!! ________________________________________________________ A 5yo boy from Sunday School comes up to me holding a toy train and says, "LOOK! I am a fixer train . I'm the train that takes broken trains on the track to the fixer factory ." ________________________________________________________ Here's an excerpt from Anne of the Island  that makes me laugh every time I read it: [Anne] "You won't say naughty words, or run away on Sundays, or tell falsehoods to cover up your sins?" "No. It doesn't pay," said Davy. "Well, Davy, just tell God you are sorry and ask Him to forgive you." "Have YOU forgiven me, Anne?" "Yes, dear." "Then," said Davy joyously, "I don't care much whether God does or not." "Davy!" "Oh -- I'll ask Him -- I'll ask Him," said Davy qu...
