I am a Christian.I am a Christian and I am not a Republican.Contrary to some reports, I am not a mythical creature relegated to story books and fanciful campfire tales. I do exist. I am not a leprechaun or a unicorn, I am flawed, failing flesh and blood working out a faith here alongside you with fear and great trembling. I am a person of deep and abiding faith—and I do not vote Red.
This explains how I feel very much. Not all Christians are conservatives or Republicans. I am a left leaning believer as you may know and I think that God/Jesus isn’t partisan.
“I must learn to love the Fool in me, the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of my human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my Fool.” -Anonymous
To all my friends going through tough times I wish you grace, peace and love. Right now life is difficult for many of us and we all have to find comfort and care in those who love and care for us the most. Whatever stuff you are going through know there are others who have the same experience, find those people who can help you get past it. No matter what hang in there, things will be OK in time.
Today is International Women’s Day. This is a day to honor the contributions of women around the world. Thanks to the women in our lives who make our communities and families better for us all. It takes a woman to make things work and to get the job done. You all are awesome.
The uncertainty of the world has everyone on edge. Our nerves can only take so much. We all have been nervous about something or another. We have all waited for something we really wanted and we were not sure we were going to get it. Perhaps it was the results of a test that could determine a school grade or our quality of life. There is an element of fear in being nervous because it involved the unknown and a level of anxiety about where things are going to go in the future. Nervousness is a legit emotion and feeling at times it is something you have to feel and experience.
