Merry CHristmas!!!!
I just have to say this is the best time of the year. Most everyone seems happier at Christmastime. I love it so much. I think it comes with the territory of having a Christmas fanatic as a mother. I love the Christmas trees (REAL trees....fake is just not the same), the egg nog, the decorations, Santa, the snow, the pictures of Jesus, and the lights, the cocoa....everything about it. Anyways, as I am getting ready to go to bed on this beautiful white Christmas Eve, anxiously waiting for Santa to come, I thought I'd take the opportunity to wish you all a very wonderful Christmas! Thank you very much for being my friends and family. I'm very grateful for everything you do for me. I hope you remember the true meaning of Christmas, and the birth of Jesus. I am so grateful for the gift of the Savior. Merry Christmas and have a fabulous New Year! Love, Ke'ala
Ranting....
So apparently there are people who read my blog....I'm not sure why. THis shows your true friendship to me because I'm fairly certain what I have to say is not that interesting. ANyways I have decided to start it back up for all those loyal readers....
I guess what I have to say today is just me ranting about something that has been on my mind for a while. It was sparked by reading a friends note on facebook about gay marriage. I guess it comes with the territory of living in a pretty liberal place, and I should definitely get used to it. SO here goes....Marriage is between a man and a woman. THis is black and white. Today's world may try to blur right and wrong to say that people that are homosexual deserve equal marriage rights or that it is discriminating against them. THis is so not true. I don't believe that it is discrimination to protect a sacred, GOD-given institution. With that said, I don't think there is anything wrong with homosexual PEOPLE, but the act itself is a sin. I just about flipped when I read another person's facebook that talked about how homosexual people were sick and evil. THis is just not the case. Some of the best, nicest, greatest people I have ever met have been gay. I think everyone needs to be a little more loving and open. THe institution of gay marriage may be wrong, but it is just as wrong to belittle, joke, or be rude to someone just because they are gay. It makes me angry when people use religion as their reason for why this is okay. Jesus loves everyone equally. He doesn't love me more because I'm not homosexual. When he came to earth he taught the people who needed him most. He taught the poor, afflicted, and those that had sinned, and he loved them. He became there friends. He didn't say that their sins were okay, but he didn't belittle them either.
So....I think that just about ends my ranting.
