Jesus

Kudos and Cheers for Pope Francis!!


 

Pope Francis Takes 12 Refugees Back to Vatican After Trip to Greece

Proving that the Children of Abraham can Live in Peace! Also we must help each other no matter what race, skin color, ethnic group or religion! Pope Francis is showing the way!

This is what Jesus would do!!

Just because one group of people do something evil does not make all followers of that religion or a certain race evil.

If we applied the same logic to all the mass murders in America for the last 12 years we would have to ban all white man. The murderers of those children in a Ct. school a few Christmas’ ago, the person who shot worshipers at a Bible Study last year, the man who shot up the movie theater plus countless other mass killings were all white men!  Now does that make all white males murderers?  No! Of course not!

There are extremists in every religion. After all the United States still has the Ku Klux Klan, the Christian Identity Movement and the American Nazi Party. All of which claim to be Christians.  I guess if they met Jesus they would lynch him also since Jesus was Jewish!

We need more Love, Peace, Understanding and Compassion in the world. Let’s stop making people into stereotypes just because they are a different faith than you or a different color than you!

Come People Let’s Get on the Love Train!!

The Aging Woman and Self-Validation

I can definitely relate to what Jacky O’Shaughnessy says in her video about women, aging, body image and dating. Like her I’ve been dumped for younger women and/or rejected because I’m not thick or curvy. Traded in for a PYT (Pretty Young Things). Finally I had to tell myself I will never have boobs or butt like other women. I will always be petite and I am getting older. But you know even though I don’t fit in and I’m not the “flavor of the moment” Despite numerous rejections and declining social life I would not change anything about my body. I will never get enhancements or augmentations.

America is a youth obsessed culture that will never change and men buy into that when making choices regarding which women to date or not date.

Gradually as I’ve gotten older I’ve begun to accept my body and focus less on how men see me but I have to admit that it does bother me when men in my age group for for the 20 and 30 somethings. I’m human and want to be accepted but then again we live in a society where a woman loses value as she ages. Men focus entirely on looks, body type, youth & fertility. As a result I rarely date and no I’m not open to online dating. Where can I find self validation? Only through my writing, photography and spending time with my brother Stephen who loves me no matter what.

I also greatly admire 79 year old Body Builder Ernestine Shephard. As my readers know from my previous posts I try to keep up my exercising, mainly walking as much as my work schedule will allow. Readers know that the reason I’m staying in shape is for me not to please some man. The only man I must or need to please is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So despite my faults and flaws I’m staying fit for me and me only so I will have a better life as I get older.  My objective is to stay healthy. A healthy life is all encompassing not a trend but a lifestyle so I will keep at it so I can feel better about myself.
