Troublesome is an interesting word. There is a whole spectrum associated with the word from something that is an annoyance to something that makes live downright difficult. At the end of November when I made up the list of topics I would write about during December, I had a different idea about troublesome than I do right now. I’ve already written about a number of troublesome items in the past 22 days! What else is there to write about that I would consider to be troublesome?

So what is bothering me right now?

I’m quite concerned about the increasing amount of selfishness being displayed … the “it’s all about me” attitude that seems to pervade our society.

I’m bothered about the debate about marriage with the idea of changing the definition. My perspective comes from my Mormon belief and a strong belief that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained and established by God.

On a trivial front, I’m unhappy with the poor AT&T cell phone coverage across Wyoming and Nebraska. I’d wish they’d spend more money on upgrading their network and less on television ads.

I wish time didn’t move along so rapidly. As I get older, there seems to be less and less time to do the things I want to do.

So what is the most troublesome? On this day before Christmas Eve, I’m not troubled by very much, actually. Just that I wish we’d have fewer reasons to shoot at people, more desire to treat people as humans, and a much better way to treat drug addiction than locking people up in prison. Maybe all of that is the most troublesome today.

Ta ta for now!
