I'll be blunt & to be honest, I'm not going to be politically correct, as people get carried away to the point of nonsense when it comes to political correctness...
I'm tired, so tired of hearing about racism. Of course I don't want to think that in this day & age, racism & discrimination still exists, but we all know that it does. Still, I'm tired of hearing about it! Before I'm accused of being insensitive, please bear with me.

My Blissful Break from Facebook
Exactly 24 days ago, I decided to go on a Facebook fast. I didn't do it for religious reasons, although many types of religious fasts last for 21 days. I simply needed a break. I gave myself 21 days of Facebook abstinence & deactivated my account. My fast is now over & I have given consideration to reactivating my account. But here's the thing: I just don't want to. It has been a very blissful break & I'm not ready for it to end. Here's why:

What is Love, Really?
Ah, the age-old question: What is love??? Is love real? Is it available to everyone?
Of course it's real!! And yes, everyone can find & experience it.
Love isn't just romantic, you know. It's not just a feeling.....it's a "doing".
Whether you apply the concept of love to a romantic relationship, or to a family member or friend, or whether you show love to your fellow man.... love is something that when applied the right way, just makes everything better.
A person doesn't have to believe in the words of the Bible if they don't want to. I'm not asking anyone to believe in God, although I would be happy to think that those reading this know that God loves them. But here's the thing: no matter what a person's beliefs are, one can't deny the wisdom in the following passage of the Bible. This passage is often referred to as "The Love Chapter", & it can be found in 1 Corinthians 13. It's a small chapter, with only 13 verses, but verses 4-7 are especially important:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast. It is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Now of course I could expound on the above Bible verses, but what more needs to be said? It already says it all. Now if we could all treat our fellow man, our friends & loved ones with this type of love, the world would indeed be a better place!

Reflections of Death
It's weird how one's view of life.....and death, changes through the years. When I was a child, I was afraid of death, imagining it to be some awful, painful experience that one should be terrified of.
