it is a particularly turbulent time in our society right now, what with all the fighting and siding with gun rights and gay marriage. I am not here to voice an opinion on either of these topics, mostly because neither of these topics affect me personally. However, I will voice my opinion and thoughts on what I see happening around me, and it makes me sick. I am so saddened by my fellow Christians showing such ugly sides by openly expressing such hatred. It makes me especially sad that this is happening right now during this Holy Week. The last few days and the next 3 days to come, I choose to reflect on Christ and how He suffered the death that I deserve to die, and he did it because he loves me. During this Easter season, my thoughts are focused on my own actions, and searching my own heart, I want to live out my Christian lifestyle by simply living in a way that reflects Christ's love. I am not God, and I am not the Judge. Therefore, I choose to live in a way that is accepting of my fellow friends, neighbors, and strangers in such a way that they will feel nothing but loved and welcomed by me. I am not here to "teach someone a lesson" or try to "prove the Bible to anyone." I feel that we are all put here on this earth to praise God, and the reality is that we are all given free will. I am sure I am going to have a lot of people disagree with me on this, and that's quite okay. I am not looking to start an argument or a debate. I am not saying that I am right, as I very well might be very wrong in this way of thinking....but all I know for sure, is that Christ loves everyone, and he died for everyone that they may be forgiven. I open my door to anyone, regardless of your sexual orientation and ideas on other political things. I feel that by forcing Bible scriptures at people, is only going to turn people away from the One that we should be bringing people toward. Because we are all sinners, just in different ways. If Christians really want to witness to people, then how about try by doing it in acts of Love and kindness, instead of judgmental acts of hate. that's all I have to say about that..
