I rarely, if ever, rant about anything in this blog. In fact I have made a point of not delving into politics or religion on-line. My beliefs and affiliations are my business, they are private and I respect the privacy of others. I’m seeing things on social media that are very disturbing, however.
I am a proud American. I have deep beliefs in a higher power. I am respectful of our flag and our country. What I am seeing in the posts lately are so concerning to me. If you have read the teachings of Jesus you know he talks about loving one another. He speaks in terms of our all being as one. He tells us to approach life with the joy and innocence of children. To come to him as children would.
The separation that I see beginning in our wonderful country is so concerning to me. If we are all one, as Jesus says, then how do we draw lines and create boundaries? Who do we leave out of this formula? Someone who is gay or of a religion other than the Christian faith? How do we ever achieve “oneness” if we set up so many rules, regulations and expectations that it becomes impossible.
Tolerance is the word that comes to mind. And LOVE, the one word that encompasses everything we are to be. Love one another……I don’t believe this separation of people based on race, religion or sexuality is what was meant by this all important part of scripture.
Rant done! It’s Tuesday! Have a wonderful day……and I now step off of my platform.
