Meryl Streep and Rick Springfield In A Movie, Yes Please!

I am looking very much forward to this movie. The greatest actor of our lifetime with an iconic rock star / soap actor. It’s rom com meets rock. There is much to like about this flick.

Fear

Fear is a powerful emotion. We all are afraid of something or another. There are times when we need to retreat from it. Fear can be crippling to some. Now there are times when we need to face our fears. Being fearless is a challenging thing because it requires a lot of bravery and willingness to try something new, something different. Comfort in the familiar means you can just chill out and not have to worry.

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 

No one wants their lives in chaos but to make our world better sometimes you have to get a little crazy. I have fears, we all have fears, if we say any different then we would be kidding ourselves. Be strong and courageous because its what you feel like you should do but if you are afraid then never be afraid to admit it.

I think fearless is having fears but jumping anyway. Taylor Swift

Face your fears with courage, strength, faith, love good people!

Oklahoma City Bombing, 20 Years On

On April 19, 1995, a truck-bomb explosion outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, left 168 people dead and hundreds more injured. The blast was set off by anti-government militant Timothy McVeigh, who in 2001 was executed for his crimes. His co-conspirator Terry Nichols received life in prison. Until September 11, 2001, the Oklahoma City bombing was the worst terrorist attack to take place on U.S. soil. (From History.com)

In memory of those who perished, in honor of those who live on and may it be a reminder to be vigilant and to never let such things happen again. Grace and peace to everyone today in Oklahoma City, OK.

A Word About My Faith World View

I am a follower of Jesus, a believer and I really hope that I represent my faith tradition in a good way. It is important to me to share my faith without tearing down the faith of other people. To me God is presented and worshiped in very diverse ways using different rituals and customs. The key thing here is to love one another and to do for others as they would do for you. If we are all doing that then we are all good. Having a higher power is important because we need to be connected to something greater than us. While at the same time those who are not believers should not be demonized.

The way you treat others and relate to the world informs everyone about your relationship with and understanding of your higher power
