It's Over, and so am I

I wasn't going to comment on the subject, but I'm tired of hearing about it and I'm tired of all of it. Let's talk about H&M. Being a devout Christian, I have faith in the good in everyone. I believe that people are not born bad, they are born good. It is their decisions that make them bad. In all my heart and soul I believe that this company did not purposefully upset thousands of people. It's not an offensive post. Nothing about it is racist. What makes it racist is the people who call it racism. Racism is still around because people can't let go of something that happens, literally, over 200 years ago. Name one person in your living family that has been held as a slave because of slavery. Did you forget that it was abolished in 1865 by the 13th Amendment thanks to President Abraham Lincoln. Now tell me how that affects you today? You were not held as a slave. Times are progressing, so why are we so bent out of shape because of a sweatshirt that a precious child was wearing? People can't be happy and have to have something, SOMETHING, to whine, moan, groan, and cause a riot over. So let's go there. Let's play that race card. YOUR. SKIN. DOES. NOT MATTER. You are a person. I am a person. It doesn't matter if you are white, black, hispanic, asian, or what. We are all the same in the eyes of God. The people who are keeping racism alive are the ones who refuse to let go of something that happens before they were even planned by their parents. It is history. It is over. Why are we letting it repeat itself? Because God isn't in everyone's lives. When you accept God into your life, you quit being offended by "racism." It is my goal in 2018 to make racism a four letter word. It doesn't exist in my book. If you respect me, I respect you no matter your gender or the color of your skin. The problem with society is that God is left out. What did the slaves hold on to? Their faith. Reevaluate your faith. Are you where you should be? Or are you where it is acceptable to be? I'm growing with God each and every day. I have happiness and love in my heart. I love and respect everyone. So tell me again, why are you really upset about a precious little boy in a sweatshirt? Anger won't get you anywhere. All it will do is bring you down. Put love and happiness in your heart and focus on God. That's what is going to get you to where you need to be in life. I pray that each and every one of you accept Christ, read His word, and follow His scriptures. It has nothing to do with race. You are all my brothers and sisters the same. God be with you all.

"The Book Thief"

I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."

Beowulf

“Beowulf” is a well-known Epic poem. There is one scene that I absolutely love to read each time I read it, which this makes time number four. Unferth is who you could call the king’s right hand man. When Beowulf arrives to Heorot, Unferth attempts to degrade him. Unferth only has one thing on Beowulf: the fight between Beowulf and Breca. Beowulf lost the fight and Unferth felt the need to say that Beowulf wasn’t as high and mighty as everyone claimed he was. Beowulf explained what happened during the fight and then he goes on to pick a bone with Unferth. The passage reads, “Now I cannot recall any fight you entered, Unferth, that bears comparison. I don’t boast when I say that neither you nor Breca were ever much celebrated for swordsmanship or for facing danger on the field of battle. You killed your own kith and kin, so for all your cleverness and quick tongue, you will suffer damnation in the depth of hell. The fact is, Unferth if you were truly as keen or courageous as you claim t...

Inside Out

I waltz into my master bathroom to draw herself a bath. I remove the blood stained clothes and sink into the hot, bubbly water. The suds around mebegan to fizzle and pop, taking me back to the Vilmart dinner I had with my husband just a week earlier. Two champagne glasses sat half-filled on a white tablecloth that reached to the floor. Candles burned in the center of the table. I had been busy staring at the menu while my husband stared at me. Every once in a while I looked up and studied his disgusted scowl. I finally closed her menu and said, “Are you really going to be mad at me forever?” “Do you not realized what you’ve done?” I looked around to see if anyone had noticed his angered tone, and leaned in towards the middle of the table. I whispered, “Nothing happened.” “Yeah? And pigs fly.” “Would you stop?” He leaned in towards me. “No, I won’t. Do you know what it’s like getting a phone call from your best friend at two a.m. saying that he went out and saw your wife in the sa...
