Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Final thought for the night.
Sometimes I just like to keep things in perspective.
Now Playing: Bristol Palin's Ex, Levi Johnston Is Getting Hitched | NR Bristol Palin's ex-boyfriend Levi Johnston, 22, is gettin' hitched! He's supposedly tying the knot this weekend to his other baby mama, Sunny Oglesby, a former Playboy model turned teacher also from Alaska. Their daughter, Breeze Beretta, was born earlier... more »
Sunny, a Playboy model? wow, they don't fact check, and apparently don't know anything about the Palin extended drama. Good sign the Palins are on their way out.
Every human being on the planet is made from stardust- our bodies are literally composed from the raw elements of the universe. Our flesh and blood was forged by stars in their nuclear furnaces
Each of us is profoundly connected to the earth, the planets, the stars, and the farthest reaches of the galaxy
Native peoples that lived here in the USA thousands of years ago had more wisdom about nature, our place, and what that connection means than many people alive in 2012
Your last paragraph shows a stereotype opinion of native people. There are many nations and many beliefs. You wrote in one note that dolphins might understand more about the universe than humans. You are vague when you should be specific.
And on the opposite side of the spectrum, abusive religious children's home partially funded by taxpayers' money.
"They shaved him bald that first morning in 2008, put him in an orange jumpsuit and made him exercise past dark.
Through the night, as he slept on the floor, they forced him awake for more.
The sun had not yet risen over the Christian military home when Samson Lehman collapsed for the sixth time. Still, he said, they made him run.
The screaming, the endless exercise, it was all in the name of God, a necessary step at the Gateway Christian Military Academy on the path to righteousness.
So when Samson vomited, they threw him a rag. When his urine turned red, they said that was normal.
By Day 3, the 15-year-old was on the verge of death, his dehydrated organs shutting down.
Slumped against a wall, cold and immobile, Lehman recalls men who recited Scripture calling him a wimp. And he thought: Maybe, if I die here, someone will shut this place down."
Stop the world, I wanna git off!

DeleteThat perspective has always been with me. Hence my nom de plume.
