Pumpkin coffee and '42'

So today was a very long work day.  8:30am until 6:45pm (that's ten hours and fifteen minutes if you were wondering)  It went alright, there were a few...uh...'moments' that weren't the greatest, but they were over quickly, so that was good.  But you know what just made my day SO GOOD???

Dunkin Donut's Pumpkin Iced Coffee, cream and extra sugar.

Yep, every time I took a sip today it was like an orange, pumpkiny party in my mouth.  It also kept me awake.  There is a DD's right across from work so before I go in, I stop by and get myself either a sweet tea (usually in the summer) or an iced coffee.  Today was kind of a brisk one, so I thought a pumpkin coffee would be the best choice.  So, you should know that I don't like hot coffee, don't ask me why, I just don't.  Iced all the way, even in the winter.  And the girl that works there, K., knows exactly how I like it, I don't even have to order!  Sipping my fantastically made coffee, made the day new again, with every sip.  That should totally be the campaign slogan...you're welcome Dunkin Donuts.  

So after work, my family rented the movie '42' (it's about Jackie Robinson, the first black major league baseball player)  I've seen it before and loved it, so I made everyone else watch it too.  They loved it also.  But it breaks my heart knowing that racism was (and in some places still is) so horrible.  The things said to another human being were just plain ugly and cruel.  How dare you think that you are higher than another human just because of your skin color.  If you peeled away your skin, you couldn't tell the difference.  Maybe if we were all an undead race, things would be different.  I mean a skeleton is a skeleton, right??

I'm so glad that I had the privilege of growing up with parents who looked at actions, not color.  And also knowing that God made every single person in HIS image.  He loves every single person He ever created.  And it's funny...I don't think He gave His creations, labels.  Ya know, like He had a filing cabinet with drawers labeled, 'Black Humans', 'White Humans', 'Hispanic Humans', etc.  He didn't just say, "Hmmm...I think I'm going to create a black person today."  Are we sure that Adam and Eve were even white??  Because unless you know someone that took a selfie-shot with them, I don't think we will ever know for sure.  Maybe they were purple.  But who cares, because God does know what He's doing.

But I must say, if we were skeletons, things would be different.  But kinda gross.
