The love i have for my friends, Happy New year!
New years eve being my father and step mother's wedding anniversary they're out for dinner and a movie. I'll have a quiet night of reading, film watching, and reflection. upon all the amazing support i have gotten from my friends/family how thankful i am to talk with you, to see proof of God in the love you have for others and devotion you have for your family and children. The determination you have for overcoming your challenges living your life to the fullest, and lighting the world up with your grace and smile. To live is to be both art, and artist. Don't waste your paint! Happy new year everyone! May God bless you and keep you!
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Phil Robertson :True to beliefs and convictions.
Since when did a man standing by his values and spiritual Beliefs make him a bigot? Oh, wait.... it doesn't.
Those comments were NOT homophobic. Or made out of hate. They were based on HIS personal beliefs rooted in THE Bible and the word of God. if you disagree with Mr. Robertson's beliefs as a Christian, or my beliefs as a Christ follower, that is your right to disagree. But, you shouldn't change your beliefs to suit me. And i won't change my beliefs to suit you. if we have to change our beliefs Just to keep peace and please each other then we strip peace of all its very meaning, and value. People need to stop trying to make an honorable man into a man of hate. It's okay to disagree. Its NOT okay to make a man into something he is not because of that disagreement.

What happened to the melting pot?!!!
America was the land of many cultures, many religions, many ideas. Our country was founded on the idea that we have a right as human beings to peacefully build the core of our lives around what we feel in our hearts to be the sacred truth, and to do everything we can to live out that truth with every sunrise. To lead our children down the path with grace, honor, love, peace, Humility and conviction to what WE believe to be THE TRUTH. ,
In our country you chose the path you follow, The Robertson family Chose Christianity. And so do I, The one i see as the sacred and Holy truth.
What is Any core belief without convictions? NOTHING.
Now, i know, as someone that struggles with writing, and grew up around three older brothers. The meaning behind what you're trying to say and the words that find their way out are often two different things.
The words that were used By Mr. Robertson to express his beliefs and convictions may not have been the words other Christians (including myself.) Would have used. But, the faith that those beliefs are grounded in is strong, true, and biblical.
TO ATTACK PEOPLE FOR LIVING THEIR PEACEFUL TRUTHS AND CONVICTIONS. THAT'S NOT OF A WORLD I WANT TO BE A PART OF.
To remain true to our faith in the teachings of the light that is our saving grace in Jesus Christ. That is to be a Christian.
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. – Proverbs 2:1-5 (NIV)
But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."Joshua 24:15

“This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh."
“We should love God and each other.”~Phil Robertson

Common decency of humanity......or lack thereof.
Why are there so many people in this world Who simply don't care what their actions do to the lives of others? Whatever happened to the common decency of humanity? Our choices and actions can either lift others or crush them. And all to often in society today it seems to be the latter. Very disappointing.
"I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."~William Butler Yeats
I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."~William Butler Yeats
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves,
Philippians 2:3
