Happy Valentines Day.
There is nothing I can say or do ,to show just how much I love my husband. We are fortunate to have found the real deal.

Music by Alicia Keys..~No One~

A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean question: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well - or ill?
~John Steinbeck~

It's something I struggle   more...with everyday...still I try.

I draw my strength from many sources among them my Mom ,Mother In-law and Sisters.

The road less traveled is not always the eastiest,but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I've come to far to turn back now,and I'm glad.

I've read the bible...cover to cover...Have you?

Until the philosophy which hold one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war

That until there are no longer first class
And second   more...class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war

That until the basic human rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war
(Excerpts from Bob Marleys song,'war'.  less

I am home,after surgery,and I have so much to be thankful for.
This has been a little of my experience as an atheist facing a very difficult situation.

Child abuse is a cause very near to my heart.

I have a secret. I'm an Atheist who loves christmas music,lol

Do you ever wonder if there really is a God?

Once I got started I couldn't stop...so many memories.
Enjoy.

I wanted to download Nick Gisburnes new video,but since someone already has I thought I'd try something different.To see words on paper,coupled with music,to me,is very powerful.Hope Nick doesn't   more...mind.
His new video is called Christians: Hateful, Homophobic, Hypocritical.
Here are more of his 'words'

How any Christian can believe that senseless condemnation of the lifestyle choices of gay people can somehow be 'softened' by empty, meaningless 'compassion' for the person himself is nonsense. Separating homosexual acts from homosexual people, by professing to hate the sin but not the sinner, is BULLSHIT. It is hypocrisy of the very worst kind.
If you don't respect what the person is or does, you do not respect the person. If you hate what gay people do in the privacy of their own homes, you are a bigot and a homophobe. And if Christianity hates homosexuality, I should have no reservation in saying that I return the sentiment: I hate Christianity.
In the true spirit of Biblical teaching, we should all hate Christianity... but not the Christians. Have no respect AT ALL for their opinions, which condemn homosexuals AND homosexuality with their weasel words. Even if it IS a choice, who are Christians to say that it is wrong?

This is my 2nd vid about teenagers.Since I have two ,they are a huge part of my life.They are my life...
I think of how hard it was for me as a teen... I was never bullied in highschool(elementery/middleschool   more...yes), had lots of friends,but my shyness crippled me.So if I found it hard, imagine all the others who found it difficult,to the point of suicide.
Today is a different world for them,with different pressures. I just wish at times the rest of us would stop and think what it was like when we were teens. It wasn't easy,I'm sure for them they feel the same.
So to all the teens out there...I SALUTE YOU.  less

I asked myself what I could do ,so far way. So sad...so many tears. I think of the parents and families left behind. So many young lives lost. Could we as a society learn form this tragedy? I hope so...I   more...hope so.  less

My husband loves me,with all my warts....and I have alot.
I am fortunate to have found the real thing,he is my shining star.
I never new how much my Mom loved me until I had kids of my own.

In a perfect world,caring,compassion,generosity,forgivness would be an everyday thing.
I try...I still have alot to work on.

We've all encountered them,but how do you deal with them?
There's something to be said about getting older though. At 43,I don't take crap from anyone. With time comes wisdom,and a freedom to be yourself,no   more...matter who says what. That old saying (Treat people how you want to be treated), it really is a good one. I guess to some people..it just goes right over their heads.  less

I found it in an article and it was quite interesting...so I thought I'd bring to LV.
