I found this and thought it worth sharing: Fact Finders. This shows an inside glimpse of what moves both sides of the political machine. This is worth a click too… All of the People, All of the Time. I don’t know about you but I seriously wonder what our president truly intended.
Just in case you do not already know I am a democrat and do not support the tyranny of the current administration. I think we as a nation need to reform our government around true freedom and democracy for all citizens, not just the privileged rich and huge business conglomerates. I am appalled at the extent this administration has disenfranchised the common citizen. I know some of the people who voted to elect these people again, they were my friends, but they no longer want to associate with me because I spoke up about my beliefs. I think this country was built on freedom for every person, not just those who agree with me… I want people to have the right to make their own choices and pursue happiness how they see fit. As long as someone is not hurting another or abusing property or trampling on someone-else’s rights I believe he or she should be able to do what seems right to her/himself. I am not in the business or place to make moral and value judgments on my fellow citizen. Their life is theirs to live. Their choices are between them and God or whatever power or lack thereof they choose to believe in.
I am not even really wanted in my own church anymore because I speak out on things they do not wish discussed. I am seriously trying to figure out where I may belong in a faith community because I no longer belong in the Southern Baptist Church. I am a Christian, but I am progressive and willing to embrace people who are different than myself. I was talking to my friend today and was a little surprised that she actually believes similarly to what I do… I know there are some in my church who would call and have called me a heathen and a heretic. I have faith, but it is a different brand than that of which they approve.
Maybe I will find a place where I fit in eventually, for now I can worship on my own. I am quite accustomed to being ostracized and alone. I might even become a hermit if I could afford the luxury. I cannot, I have too many people depending on me. It is okay though leastways someone needs me and I have a reason to stay a while longer…
I noticed the traffic here has picked up a little in the last few days… I hope maybe you all will come back, that way I feel like this means more.
I think that is enough for now. Later…
Always,
Jo Ann
