The past few weeks I have been reading a lot of news, watching news, and basically paying attention to world events. A Mosque is potentially going to get built near ground zero. The summer heat is seemingly unbearable. Earthquakes are rocking the planet. Violence, bloodshed, and strife is happening all over. The fact that it is happening now and that it always has been has left me into a bit of a thinking pattern. More thought, of course, than "am I going to get my Warrior on Guild Wars to the Fire Island to beat the Prophecies campaign?" Oh, my thoughts are so much more than that.
In regards to the Mosque, first of all. I know that no matter what I say that whatever happens will happen. Its not my choice. Now, it is very apparent from my blogs, profile, and if you've ever taken the time to know me to know that I am a Christian. Follower of Christ, I do see Him more than just a "prophet", but rather He is the Son of God. He is God in the Flesh but He is not the Father. To spare time, I'm not going to get into an explanation of that again. Its the previous post that has all that if you want to read about it. What I will say is this, I don't agree with Islamic faith. However, I don't hate them one bit. I don't hate. I love to love. Its such a beautiful feeling. There are many things in this world that I don't agree with, but I'm not going to come off as some crazy zealot and be an extremist. I am all for peace. If I had my say in the locale of said Mosque, I wish it would just be somewhere not so close. Am I saying take their butts back to the Middle East? Of course not. I won't say that because, after all, America is land of the free. Everyone can stay here. And remember, my friends, unless you are 110 percent Native American blood, your ancestors didn't have that right either. Myself? I am part German, English, Irish, French, Cherokee, and Choctaw (and whatever else I have no clue). The thing is, is that I am an American. People can immigrate here if they so choose. Legally. Of course, back then that wasn't a stipulation. Times have changed, its a bigger country(as far as population), so it needs to be done that way. So, no I'm not against a Mosque being on our soil because our Constitution does say that we have the freedom of RELIGION as well. I am a Christian. Its not my place to get in between what you and God do.
As far as the heat goes, I wish it was Fall. I don't say in Winter, I wish it was summer. I can't stand the heat myself. It drives me batty and my allergies go off the chart nuts. The violence and bloodshed out in the world. I can't do much about that but I can live my life the way that God has chosen. So, in my heart that He has touched, I wish for peace. I don't like anger, strife, or any form of negativity. It does break my heart to see all these people cutting down each other and hurting one another. Sometimes I really think that if the human population would put in half as much energy into being productive and not destructive, it wouldn't be such a violent planet. Man is always against man it seems. Through violence or speaking with a venomous tongue.
Mother nature is seemingly shaking like crazy right now, so I pray for all those that are affected in Indonesia with all the earthquakes that are happening. I really don't like earthquakes. I remember when I lived at my dad's house, little tremors going off. Quite frankly, they used to scare me because earthquakes are really no joke.
I guess the main point of this writing is to say that, I know that the world is seemingly being turned upside down with all these aforementioned happenings. Is it being too much of an optimist to say that I don't lose hope yet? Through it all, I think that if humankind can show more of their humanity that we can learn to love each other as individuals. Through our differences, through our opinions, can't we learn to agree to disagree? People have different perspectives and I am sure that some will even disagree to the things I've spoken of in this ramble. Even then, I do hope that there is humanity in people though. If I had one wish, it would be for people to do that. To learn how to love and forget how to hate.
Wishful thinking from this bout of randomness.
God bless everyone and sincerely, I hope you all have a wonderful day.
Love and Peace, Susan.
