People - what is happenning? I haven't quite figured out why on earth Christians or Churches in general would say burn the Qur'an. I am shocked and somewhat dismayed at how Christians are acting. I know there are two sides to every story. I know that Jesus went in and overturned the money changers tables when they were in the temple but this, I have to admit, is not money changers in the temple. Think before we speak, isn't that what our mothers taught us as young children? What about don't say anything at all if you don't have anything nice to say?
Please DO NOT get me wrong. I am not in favor of an Islamic or Muslim anything going near the twin towers site. I think it's wrong on all realms. We as Americans get so worked up over the things that don't really count though. Has anyone looked around lately? Do you see that your neighbor has no job and is about to lose their house? See that they might be living on the street? Did you look and see that more families are having to reside together to make it work? My mother has recently lost her job and been forced to move into the basement of my sister's house. So why oh why am I sitting here chastising Christians? I should be asking people to PRAY that the economy gets better. Not to PRAY that my cousins don't get killed across the seas because you, as a Christian, have decided to burn the Qur'an.
I am going to visit in the Holy Bible - St John (KJV) Chapter 16 - Verses 1-8 1 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended 2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosever killeth you will think he doeth God service 3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not know the Father, nor me 4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. 5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and nonoe of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 6 But because I have said these thing unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you: but if I depart, I will send him unto you 8 And when is come, he will reporve the world of sin, and of reighteousness, and of judgment.
Are you the judge? The jury? The sentence? By doing this do you risk others lives to satisfy your own need to give "justice" for what you believe might happen? Or would a day of prayer be more acceptable for us? To pray that the injustice of what might happen will stop...or to pray for the souls of those who have not yet been led to Jesus and have no received his truth. Hate does nothing but spread further hate. Does God not teach us this? Have we lost ourselves somewhere? Even people who might not follow or believe in God and the Savior Jesus, have an understanding of hate spreading hate.
We talk about how we should not teach our children how to hate. We should teach them equality. In my mind I will shelter my children to show them what true love is. It doesn't mean I will tell them it's okay to take whatever is coming - but I will tell them to have a voice in what they believe in. This is my voice. I believe that there is a peaceful world somewhere. A world where neighbors can love - hate will not be - and equality with borders can abound. Everyone on either side is at fault. The politicians for allowing it get this far - the Islamic Center for attempting to shove their religion down the throats of the American people while they laugh in our faces - the Christians for thinking that burning the Qur'an will offer the ends to this - And the media for allowing this to be spread like wildfire so it angers both sides.
Stop being mad at each other - realize that once again our media and our politicians are allowing this to make us hate. The more that they can make us hate - the more they can have power over us. I know in most religions there is a "devil". A person of hate - that fuels what is anger, hate, madness, inequality. Brothers and Sisters of the World if you don't realize this as an attack on us from the "devil" then you will surely not realize that our world is falling apart ever so slowly in front of our eyes.
God Bless The World - God Bless the US - God Bless You
Say a prayer today that we can work this out together - as grown and adult humans - standing there - staring into the eyes of the "opponent", the one who doesn't agree with you, screaming at them, that puts the "devil" into your heart. It fuels the very thing they want.... THOUGHTS??

First Cell Post - What? Cell phone? OMG!
I can not believe technology allows us to post a blog from our cell phone. If I thought my letters were worn out now I can not wait to see what it will look like after this! It is exciting! I started a blog so one day I might make enough money to pay for internet on my cell phone when I can blog more...I know you are already pining for more...what can I say I am most exciting! SISTER I HEAR YA!
Are you reading this??
Today is Labor Day 2010. September 6 - 2010. A day I will most likely forget. I can't say there is anything more exciting today than there is something exciting from yesterday. Let me introduce me. I am Darcy - an overworked - overtired - overbearing woman. I am fat (please don't feel sad here I did it to me) and I hate myself for it. Well hate is a strong strong word...I dislike it. That is a better way to put it. I started a blog because I have so many thoughts in my brain I have to share them with someone. So why not blog about it? I don't even know if anyone will ever read it. I just know that something tells me I need to write about it. Who has time to sit and read a blog anyway? Well I say I don't but I do. I just am choosy. I love to cook. It seems to be the only thing that relaxes me. The only thing I post on facebook is about what I have made cooking wise for the day and sometimes a few quick witicisms. Besides that I post how much I hate my job. I shouldn't say I hate it. I think if you ever worked my job you would know that we become very cynical - quickly! I am a police and fire dispatcher and I deal with the best of the best and the worst of the worst and most annoying of annoying. There is no other nice way to put it to be honest. A women called yesterday because she moved to Florida and hadn't done her community service for her court date. She wanted me to know that she was in Florida but didn't want me to know where. She promised she would have her community service done and couldn't we please hold off on issuing a warrant. I just sat there. I let her talk and talk and talk for about 10 minutes. That's when I stopped her and said, "I don't know why you called me. I don't who you are and I really don't care if they put out a warrant for your arrest. That is not under my control and you can contact the courts on Tuesday if you like." She sat there and thought a moment - then she asked the most important question. Why did you let me continue? I said, "Because you wouldn't stop talking me for me to tell you what to do. Have a nice day." And I hung up. I know I know..I should have cut her off and let her not tell me the whole story. Why though? My job consists of talking to either really rich people who are so rude because they think that we should cater to them or very poor people who think we are out to get them. The in between people usually just don't call. (I appreciate the in between people!)
I love to write - I love to laugh - I love to scream! I love my children - I love my husband - I love to scream at them. I am an open book and I don't hide much. I have never felt part of anything yet I have never felt alone. It's a strange situation. I just know that there are people out there who feel the same way. They love their life but wonder sometimes what would happen had they made different choices. I am one of them. I have many friends but few great friends. When I do make a great friend I keep them for life. I might not go see them or talk to them often...but I think of them often. So here is to you - my girlfriends - my friends that have always been there no matter where I am or what I am doing. Kelly - Jenny - Christi - Kindra - Kim - Terry - Kathryn - there a few more but you know who you are.
After reading this - and keeping up with it...I will I tell you I will - I know I know you have heard this before - I hope you can read it and say - Sister - I hear ya! Thanks to my sister - that was always her saying!
