Emotions are a blessing and a curse. Feeling stuff makes us human and that can be awesome but it also can suck when it’s stuff we have to cope with. People are trying to get by and that makes it harder. Peace to you my friends in all the things you are going through.

Rambling About Religion
Religion for many has become all about sin instead of doing something different like bringing people together who have different lives and ideas. Religion can be used to promote community and change instead of tearing our world apart. I think developing relationships with one’s higher power and other people of faith can also be a good thing for the world.
I am a unapologetic believer in that faith should rooted in the reality of today and that people should have have an abundance of love, grace, peace. People should have the freedom to be who they are and secure in the knowledge that God created them to be who they are. I also think that God’s story is still being written in the here and now.
If someone tells you that your faith isn’t strong enough because it doesn’t fit into their view of what faith should be then tell them you are working out your relationship with God/Higher Power in a way that makes sense to you. Each person is to work out their relationship with fear and trembling.
The way you treat others and relate to the world informs everyone about your relationship with and understanding of your higher power…Tony Burgess
A Hope For 2016
In 2016 my hope for family and friends is to live in freedom of any pain, suffering, drama and anger. May we all have a life where we can have peace of mind and soul. The world is tough enough without us putting any more crisis into it. We need to hold fast to faith and hope that can sustain us throughout time. Too many people hold on to the hurts of history that the promise of the present is cloudy even doubtful. It is not easy to let go but sometimes you have to. No matter where the year takes you rely upon those things that can get you through. Tomorrow is today and today is tomorrows yesterday.
Quote Of The Day

A Thought For The Day
The terror within should concern us more than the terror in distant places. Be safe today good people.
I Appreciate My Muslim Friends and Fellow Bloggers
I love my Muslim friends and fellow bloggers. They help me see the world in a different way. While in college I was friends with several who lived in my dorm. I think the phobia they face is unfair and unkind. Yes there are a few bad apples in the bunch like there are people of all faiths and walks of life. I appreciate their contributions to global culture and commitment to the service of mankind.
It’s time to wage peace with each other with the same fierceness as we do war. Love thy neighbors as we love ourselves.
