Trip to Pine Valley

The other day Jessica, Craig, JJ, my nephew Tyler and myself went up to Pine Valley to get out of the heat and out of the house... Tyler is such a funny little guy... We took some pictures and went to the Pine Valley Chapel... This is just going to be a posting of some of the trip up to Pine Valley... BTW if you get a chance, you should go...

Just an Observation...

I was thinking about this the other day... Not sure why, but out of the blue I was thinking about people I normally see all the time and now I don't... Not sure why that is... I'm not really complaining, but find it interesting... 

When we lived in Veyo, I think I seen certain friends alot more than I do now that I live in town and closer to most of them... One of my friends or ex-friends moved away, and that's OK since she wasn't really a friend at all... But a few others I would see all the time and now I think it's been the longest time... I know in part it is because of all the things going on in everyone's life and in my life too... I have spent most of my summer not feeling good... 

Maybe it's kinda like when we first moved to Utah... We would would go to certain places all the time and would want to check out the new environment... Once we knew these things like Zion, Snow Canyon and other places like that was there to stay, there was no real hurry to plan a trip to go to these places... 

But then there have been times when certain people were only meant to be in our lives for a short time and that is it... Do we as humans read more into things than we should? I think so... There have been some friends that I haven't seen for years and when we see each other, we take off from the last time we talked... But then there are other friends that are close by that I rarely see... I know this is a random thought and it isn't much to do about anything... 

Then the thought came to mind that who are our real friends... Do we actually know for sure and how can we tell? Are some people meant to be bleeps in our lives and that is it... They come and go and nothing more...But then you have those in your life that you think are friends and they are nothing more than someone who wants to control and do things on their terms... If things aren't the way they want it, then there is nothing... A friend of mine(Diana) is going through that right now... Which is sad... She has a friend and she thought they were good friends and then she finds out that it was more of a control thing... I hope she reads this posting and that she learns that she doesn't need these kind of people in her life... 

No More Eating Mexican Food! WHAT?

Today I was talking to a friend and my daughter... It was a pretty light conversation but said alot after thinking about it...

The conversation was about Chick-Fil-A... What I was saying is that if I stopped shopping or eating at places that I disagreed with their views I would go nowhere...  I'm as American as they come... I'm Christian and I believe in the Christian values... Having said that these are just a few of the places I wouldn't be able to shop at that I normally do because they either aren't Christian or sell things that aren't American made... This conversation was in a jokingly way, but it showed how much we depend on other countries, backgrounds and faiths...

Here is a list of places I like to go that I would have to stop going to if I only went to places that are Christian based or sell only American made items;

Restaurants-

• Carlitos Mexican Food Restaurant- I'm not Mexican and the owners are from El Salvador and they are Catholic... So that would mean I couldn't go there anymore... 
• Olive Garden- Not Italian so that would mean no more Raviollie De Portebello or Zuppa Tascano Soup... OH! And no more bread-sticks and the salads... 
• Outback Steak House- They are from Australia- So no more of that... 
• Alberto's Mexican Food- Hummm, back to me not being Mexican... 
• Ocean Buffet- They are a Chinese Buffet and I wouldn't be able to go there anymore either since I have no Chinese in me... Shoot and I really like Chinese too... 
• Taco Bell- Well, this isn't my favorite place, but it is my husbands, so I would have to forbid him from going there since he isn't Mexican either... But then is Taco Bell Mexican or what? That's still up in the air... 

Misc Items- Cloths, TV's, Computers and so on... 

I think I would have to go naked if I had to rely on American made cloths only and that would put the world in shock... And since China has a very small population of Christians, it is more than probable that none of the companies are Christian run and they don't have the same value system I have... If you shop at Walmart, you may be able to walk into the doors since it is owned by Christians... But I guarantee you that the store is filled with stuff from Mexico, China, Indonesia, and so on... And those people and sometimes children working in sweatshops are not people that feel the same way I do... 

I have a feeling even my computer which is a Acer is made by Multitech, which was founded by Stan Shih his wife Carolyn Yeh, and a group of five others in 1976, and renamed Acer in 1987. It began with eleven employees and $25,000 in capital. Initially, it was primarily a distributor of electronic parts and a consultant in the use of microprocessor technologies. The global headquarters is in Hsichih City, Taiwan... So everyone better get off their computers if they don't want to have a computer that is from Taiwan... 

My TV is a Magnovox and we have a JVC Big Screen...  Here is some information about JVC... Wikipedia, Victor Company of Japan, Ltd (日本ビクター株式会社 Nippon Bikutā Kabushiki-gaisha?) (TYO: 6792), usually referred to as JVC, is a Japanese international consumer and professional electronics corporation based in Yokohama, Japan. Founded in 1927, the company is best known for introducing Japan's first televisions, and developing the Video Home System (VHS) video recorder.

Oh, and I hate to burst all of your bubbles... But that gas you put in your car or the car you are driving isn't from the good ole USA... According to Scientific American, It is owned by foreign countries for the most part... We know that dozens of billions of US dollars go to imported oil every month (nearly $1 billion a day) . We know that some of that must go to unstable, unsafe countries... Ten of the countries who we import a lot of oil from are also on the State Department’s Travel Warning list: Algeria, Chad, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Iraq, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Syria... So I would guess that would mean we have to stop driving and heating our homes because of where we are getting our oil from... 

The Beasleys-  Good Friends- No Same Faith

Oh, and since I live in Utah and I'm not LDS or Mormon, I would have to stop shopping at any place where Mormons work or shop... Shoot and what about all my friends that are LDS... I guess I would have to kick them to the curve since we don't go to the same church... Sorry Jenn and Scott and everyone...  I think we would be out of a job too since my husband works for a company where the owners are LDS and there are many LDS workers there... Wow, good thing this isn't reality and only a sarcastic posting...

My daughter Jessica would have to stop going to Dixie State College since it was started by the Mormons... And Oh my goodness, people of all religions go there, so we must not associate with anyone of any other religion... What a sin or travesty that would be?

I would also have to eliminate friends or family of mine that are either gay or lesbian since I believe in traditional marriage... I would loose a few there... Thankfully I don't have to do that... And while I'm at it, I have to get rid of my friend Shirley M... She is much too tall for my own good... I need to stick with people that are the same as me... Besides she drinks her coffee black and I like cream... 

I know this sounds like I'm making light of the argument that is going on with Chick-Fil-A... But to me it sounds like people are trying to make companies or individuals conform to their views and choices... That isn't right... Everyone has a right to worship or not worship God... I choose to do that... Thankfully we are given free will and we live in a country where we can shop where we want, go places, eat and worship... I have no right to tell someone what is right for me and nobody has a right to tell me what to believe... If someone doesn't like to go somewhere or what they are selling, then don't go... These are all privileges that we have... 

Sometimes I don't understand why people have to take up fights that wasn't a fight at all or a cause... I'm all for fighting for ones rights, but with this whole thing, I didn't see where the fight began since they were stating personal beliefs and values... It wasn't like they were telling everyone you had to believe like I do if you want a job or want a chicken sandwich... Sign on the dotted line if you agree to my core values... That's goofy if anyone asks me... 

In closing, I have to say that I don't choose people who are important to me because they believe as I do... I choose to have them in my life because I want too... I choose to shop and eat where I want too... I do that because I like the service and food they offer... Even though I would have problems if they were part of the mafia and I could get killed going there, lol... There has only been one place I refused to eat at and that was because they had no problem telling people that if they didn't believe or vote as they did, they weren't welcome and they didn't want to hear it... Now they are out of business... 

I'm interested to hear what you would have to stop doing or going if you only went to and bought from companies you share their views with...

Opinions Please- Wait! Never mind!

I was having this conversation with my brother in law yesterday on the way to dropping my niece off at work... We were talking about what our views are and how many times we don't share them because it seems to start an argument because I don't happen to agree with someone...  Two different topics came up and both topics are ones that could almost cause a Hatfield and Macoy War all over again... The topics would be if you haven't guessed it already is politics and religion... I decided I was going to write about my views and I'm sure there will be some gasps and "I can't believe she thinks that way"... To those who say that... I have to say "Oh Well"...
Politics: 

I hear over and over and over again about how Obama has been the most horrible president of all times... I don't feel that way... I think he walked into a heck of a mess that needed to be cleaned up after Bush... And it really gets me when I read all these haters on Facebook or where ever they may be saying what they are saying and not really looking up the facts... There are pictures photoshopped and all kinds of garbage... I don't know if I will vote or not... I don't think it is going to do any good to vote since I live in a Republican state... So why vote since Utah has already been decided...  I was looking online for things that Obama accomplished during his presidency and decided to just provide you the link... The list is too long... Here it is...

Obama inherited one of the worst economies in our country’s history... I'm pretty sure most will agree with me on that one... Obama inherited two wars that finally now, after seven or eight years even Republicans are admitting was a terrible idea...

When it comes to the new health program, I can see benefits to it... Sure, there are going to be some things I don't agree with... But I think it would be great to get insurance at a reasonable price and be able to get the medical that I need or someone else needs... And they can't be turned down for pre-existing conditions... For those who have good coverage or those who get everything paid, I'm sure you won't see the benefits to this plan... But when you have no coverage and have to pay for all medical costs that goes into the hundreds of thousands and you know you can't pay... You either don't go to the Dr or file bankruptcy and guess what? The taxpayers pay... For those who get free medical, good for you... But there are millions of people who can't get coverage and this health care plan may be the only hope for them... 

One thing among some others is that we have one heck of a deficit going on and that needs to come down... Do I have the answer? Nope... Do you have the answer? Nope! I wouldn't want to be president for either of the parties... There sure is alot of people who think they have all the answers to everything... I wonder if that would change if they were given the chance to run the country and hear all the complaints from the millions of people... 

What gets me too is that when you mention to almost any of your friends that you have no problem with Obama, you would have thought I committed a national offense... My thoughts is that there is NOT going to be a perfect president and the only one perfect is Jesus Christ Himself... Obama has people over him that he has to answer too and there are alot more people that are in charge... I don't believe that just because I'm a Christian I have to be a Republican... Why in the world would people assume that anyhow? I vote for the person, not the party and I'm registered Democrat but split my vote... I think they need to get rid of party lines... When I vote, I vote for who I think would be the better person for our country...

Religion: 

Kirk Cameron for President

Here is another touchy subject... This subject has been in the limelight because of Chick-Fil-A... And my stand is that I believe that marriage should be between a man and a women... I also believe that I have no right to tell others what to do and that they have to make their own choices... I have friends that are gay, lesbian, bi, Christian and non-Christian... We all have free will and must decide what is right... For me, I stand by what the Bible says and that's it... I respect others and I think respect goes a long way...

I think it is horrible to ask people what they think and then when they get the answer they are put on the chopping block... It happened to Miss California... I'm sure some of you may remember her... She lost her title because she said what she believed about same sex marriage... What a senseless crime that is... Then there is Kirk Cameron... He was asked about marriage and said what he believed in and wow, did the henchman come out after him... Now we have Chick-Fil-A... If people don't want the answer, then don't ask when they know what the answer is before they even asked it... Now Kirk Cameron I would vote for as a president... He has common sense and he knows he isn't perfect... But then there will be some group out there trying to say he thought he was... It is a no win situation... Only with Christ can we win...

I committed the worse sin of all times according to some people... I talked about my views on politics and religion and guess what? They are my views and I'm allowed to have my views... Just like anyone else does... I'm sure someone will get their panties in a bind because I didn't agree with whatever they thought... But not caring... More than anything, I'm sick of all the garbage that is posted about whatever topic and people don't take the time to make sure it is right...

Now I'm done venting and voicing my opinion till the next time...

Don't Look Back

Tonight is one of those nights where I can't sleep and not feeling too great... I turn on the Olympics and they are doing the Swimming and Track and Field...

Carmilita Jeter- Go USA

I'm watching the qualifying for the 100 meter and I can't help but think back to when I would run track and field... I did the relays and I was the anchor... I would always run in my socks... There was something about wearing shoes that didn't feel right... I'm still like that... I would prefer to go barefoot then wearing shoes... What I was thinking though as these ladies was trying to qualify is the strength they have to have to do the 100meter in 10.96 seconds... Jeter from the USA was the fastest and she is the favorite for the gold...

There is something about being in the zone when I would run... I could escape everything else going on... I would have to think more about breathing and timing... If my mind strayed, I would loose my pace and I would loose... If someone has never competed that way or experienced the real joy of running, you probably wouldn't know what I'm talking about... My husband will comment alot when we have marathons around Southern Utah on how he doesn't see why people do that... I can see how they can do that... If I didn't have all my medical and muscular problems, I would be out there with them... It isn't about winning... For me it was the escape and the feeling that there was nothing else around me... I could see only what was ahead of me, not behind me... If I looked back to see how close someone was, I would loose my pace and would fall behind...

When I think about that, I think life is that way... Atleast for me it is... If I can keep my focus on what is ahead of me and pace things out, I can make it across the finish line... But once I look back and see the faces of the people or my past behind me, I crash and I wasn't going to win... Maybe life is like a race... We have to keep looking ahead and don't look back or we are going to stumble...

Missy Franklin

Now back to the Olympics.. Then they go to womens 299 meter backstroke...... The power that Missy Franklin displayed is remarkable... What is awesome is that Missy Franklin is only 17 years old and she is going to be a senior in high school this year... I would swim, but never competitiveness... Swimming is something I have never been good at... I didn't have the upper body strength or the desire to do that...

Now for someone from Great Britain... I was blown away with Jessica Ennis... I can see why Great Britain would be so proud of her...She is competing in the Women's Heptathlon and I would think that  her country is very proud of her... I never really heard much about her, which is a surprise considering she is all over Great Britain and in all their papers and such... But you can go to her website if you want to read about her...We have Hyleas Fountain competing in this race... I wish them all the best of luck...

My Thoughts on the Olympics

Team USA and Team Nigeria

I don't know about you, but I like watching the Olympics... I like the sportsmanship that most countries display... Even thought Team USA Men's Basketball wasn't being very sportsmanlike when they slammed Nigeria by 83 points... I don't see that as being a good sport... But in defense of the USA team, I found this on Yahoo...
"We didn't play LeBron [James] and Kobe [Bryant] in the second half, and with Carmelo shooting like that, we benched him," Krzyzewski said. "We didn't take any fast breaks in the fourth quarter, and we played all zone. You have to take a shot every 24 seconds, and the shots we took happened to be hit.

Guor Marial

One of the other things I love about the Olympics is all the countries that can get together and not fight... They all compete and share their love for sports... I can't help but wonder why it can't be this way all the time and not just during the Olympics... The one person that stands out to me is Guor Marial... Guor is a refugee without a country... 


(Yahoo News) Marial was born in what is now the Republic of South Sudan, a newly independent country without a National Olympic Committee, an IOC requirement for nations to be able to compete in the games. 

With no country to represent, Marial began petitioning the IOC to run as an independent participant under the Olympic flag.

"It would be great for the people of South Sudan for me to run as an independent," Marial told the New York Times last week. "And the U.S. because that's where I discovered running. It would be great for the whole world."

Queen Elizabeth and London Olympics

William and Kate... They have the true spirit of their Olympians... 

Another thing that I found kinda funny, but I guess it depends on who you ask... During the opening ceremony Queen Elizabeth parachuted from a helicopter... OK, it wasn't really her... She had a stunt double... I don't see her literally jumping out of a plan... She can leave that to her grandsons... But I found it funny or maybe sad on some level that as her country passed by her, she was sitting there picking her nails... But thankfully William and Katherine are more in-tune with those around her... They actually sat in the crowds with their countrymen... Maybe they should have been the ones jumping from the helicopter and representing their country... Even though I have to give the Queen some credit... She is getting up there in age and is probably tired since this was late at night... I thought London put on a good opening ceremony and they deserve respect and congrats on putting on a great Olympics...

Team USA- Gabby Douglas- 16 All around Gold for Gymnastics

Team USA- Michael Phelps (Gold) Ryan Lochte (Silver) 

Kudos to all those Olympians that are participating in the Olympics... These Olympians put years worth of work into making it to this point... Even when they don't medal, they are winners... I participated in sports and would compete in cross country, track and field and basketball... It takes a tremendous amount of dedication, training and will to get to where they are now... I admire those counties that may have only a few Olympians there representing their country... I think it is awesome when I see a country with only one person who medals... I do love it when I hear about our country medaling though... As of the time of writing this blog, we are leaders for medals with 43 medals and China is at 42... God Bless the USA... 

First Lady Michelle Obama

I think it is pretty cool to see  First Lady Michelle Obama being there for our country and our Olympians... I liked what she had to say;


"Being an Olympian is not just about winning gold medals and setting records, Michelle Obama said on Friday, as she urged youngsters to stay healthy and "believe in" themselves.

Olympic athletes are not simply born, but work hard for their success and refuse to give up, the US First Lady said.

"Whether or not you grow up to become an Olympian or Paralympian, you all have so much promise. I want you all to know that.

"Think in your heads 'I'm important, I have promise, there are things I can do'.

"I believe in each and every one of you."

Husbands and Wives- Communication and Compremise

This is something I got thinking on yesterday when talking to someone on the phone... The topic was on cleaning house and how to appreciate each other in a marriage...

We were talking about how this woman's husband is wanting his wife to clean the house and if she didn't clean the house then he would leave her... They have been married for some time and I try not to get into the middle of it... But it sounded like a control thing then a request when she said this to me...

First of all, I can understand how someone would want to come home to a clean home and have things in order... But at the same time I think when the couple is busy with work, family and other responsibilities, things need to be discussed and they need or should work together... When my husband and I got married, he knew I hated to do laundry... I still do... But I know it needs to be done... But we made a deal 30 plus years ago that he would do the laundry... He will still do the laundry and always does his own to this day... We don't argue over it... Even though there was a time we would do that over cleaning house...

I'm sure some wives or stay at home dads can understand this... You get the house all cleaned up and it looks nice... In walks the spouse and kicks off the shoes, throws dirty clothes on the floor and leaves a trail of mess as he/she makes his/her way through the house... I went on strike one time for this and got so sick of  him not noticing or caring that I had to clean up... It took me much longer to do and had to call in a friend to help me... It got that bad... I was embarrassed to have my friends over and so on... I'm not a clean freak, but I do like a clean house and hate waking up to dirty dishes or nasty smells...

But back to this couple... It would seem like it would be much better if instead of using mind games and threats to simply tell her why it is important to have a clean house and maybe make an effort to do something or appreciate what is being done... A kind word goes a long ways...  I think there is alot of depression and other things going on, but that's my own thoughts... Maybe if they could sit down and make a list of the things they dislike doing the most since they are both busy it would help out... I don't know... But, it is sad to see someone you care about or know that is in a situation where compromise and respect is all that is needed...

I decided to look up some verses on husbands and wives... And for all those husbands I will include the submissive... But remember what it says about what a husband should be... lol...

Proverbs 31:10-31

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. ..

Ephesians 5:22-6:9

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, ...

Ephesians 5:33

However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

1 Timothy 5:8

But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

Proverbs 19:14

House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord.

Philippians 2:3

Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

As I was looking at bible Verses about husbands and wives, I came across this one... Hmmm... Didn't know this was in the Bible or what it means exactly... 

Leviticus 20:18

If a man lies with a woman during her menstrual period and uncovers her nakedness, he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

Chick-Fil-A's Freedom of Speech- And Ours

I'm pretty sure almost everyone has heard about this latest debate... What I'm talking about is Chick-Fil-A... First I will put down some of the information that has been  all over the internet and then I will add my take on it all...

Chick-fil-A according to its website, which states that the purpose of the chain is to "glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A."

They also put out this statement: Chick-fil-A issued a statement Thursday saying that going forward, they would stay out of the dialogue over gay marriage. "Our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena," spokesman Don Perry wrote in an email to the LA Times.

Perry added that Truett Cathy founded the company with the intent to apply "biblically-based principles to managing his business."

"The Chick-fil-A culture and service tradition in our restaurants is to treat every person with honor, dignity and respect – regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender," Perry added.

If you haven't heard, here are a few things out there and why: 

Dan Cathy, the president and chief operating officer of popular fast food chain Chick-fil-A, said in a radio interview this week that legalizing same-sex marriage is “inviting God’s judgment on our nation.”

This is from a Chicago Politician;

• He said he will block Chick-fil-Afrom opening a restaurant in his ward, following anti-gay marriage remarks by the fast food chain's president... 
• "It's a very diverse ward-- economically, racially, and diverse in sexual orientation," Moreno told ABCNews.com. "We've got thriving businesses and we want more but at the very least don't discriminate against our LGBTQ folks."

This is from the Mayor of Boston; 

• Boston Mayor Thomas Menino sent Cathy a letter informing him "There is no place for discrimination on Boston's Freedom Trail and no place for your company alongside it."

The Muppets: 

The Jim Henson Company also severed ties with the establishment and have donated their earnings from making toys for the chain's kids' meals to the gay support organization GLAAD

My Take: 

This country was built on the right to believe what you believe... I have many friends that are gays and lesbians... They have a right do make decisions about what their preference is... It has nothing to do with me... I try not to judge others because I have enough things going on in my own life then to worry about what they are doing... Not saying I don't care... I don't have a right to tell them what is right for them... My own personal views and beliefs are that I stand by what the Bible has to say... I'm a Born Again Christian and I believe that the Bible was inspired by God...  Dan Cathy President of Chik-Fil_A had every right to say what he believes and no matter how he answered this question it was a no win situation... With his business being built on Christian values, why would someone think that he wouldn't stand behind those? We have had soldiers fighting for our rights and so many are in an uproar over his answer... 

I would welcome a company that isn't afraid to stand up for what they believe in... It's nice to see people standing up for what they believe...  It wasn't like they were going out looking to bash a group... They were asked a question on live radio and replied to that question... And now all these groups that had to have known if they went to their website that they were a Christian based company... 

Everyone has a right to have their own opinion... Even if I don't agree with someone that doesn't mean I don't respect them... I will be very happy to have a Chick-Fil-A in our town... 

There are many companies out there that are Christian/Religiously based... Here is a list of some of the best known companies... 

• In-N-Out Hamburgers-- If you look under their cups, wrappers and fry holders you will see Bible verses... 
• Tyson Foods, Inc. -- The world's largest chicken company employs a team of chaplains who minister to employees at production facilities and corporate offices. Other corporations contract out such services, but it's rare for a company to keep chaplains on the payroll. 
• Interstate Battery-- The car battery giant has a "self-avowed religious identity and is very open in their God talk" in internal training and communication, says Lake Lambert III, author of Spirituality, Inc. 
• Walmart-- Lambert says the Walton family, which founded the company and still own a major stake in it, has used Christian servant leadership models in building the world's largest retailer.
• Mary Kay - In a 1997 interview with Religion News Service, founder Mary Kay Ash attributed the cosmetics giant's success to a decision to "take God as our partner."
• George Foreman Cooking - The former heavyweight boxer became an ordained minister after a religious experience in 1977 and continues to share his religious experiences in the media and on Christian television today.
• Curves - Curves founder Gary Heavin is a born-again Christian who's staunch political conservatism and support of anti-abortion causes has cost the women's fitness chain some memberships, according to a 2004 interview with the Houston Chronicle.
• Marriott International- John Willard Marriott, founder of the international hotel conglomerate was a devout Mormon who held positions of leadership while building the empire bearing his name. In 2011, the chain made headlines when they announced they would no longer offer pornography among the pay-per-view in-room movie selections. The chain also has a history of sometimes placing the Book of Mormon in hotel rooms alongside the Gideon's Bible.

Sick People Killing Others...

I was thinking I wasn't thinking about anything... But then I got to talking to my daughter Jessica on Facebook...

But then we got talking about how sick some people are out there... There was this guy in Phoenix that decided he wanted to murder his girlfriend/wife today... He handcuffed her, duck taped her mouth and then set her on fire... All of this presumably because she was going to go on maternity leave... She was about to have her baby in three weeks... Her boyfriend said that she was lazy or something to that effect... Such a idiot... I'm not a swearing person, but I would call him some names that I don't want to put out there... Read between my lines... 

Then you have the guy in Colorado who thought he was the Joker from Batman... These people only wanted to go see a movie and minutes after they get there, 12 are dead and 60 or 70 are hurt... Evil is running rampant... It doesn't matter how good a person is, something can happen at any moment... You may think you know someone, but do you really... This guy who shot these people has a family and friends that thought they knew him... Little did they know he was a ticking time bomb... Some people say he is mentally ill and I'm sure they will try to get him off with that defense... But all I know is that he is nuts and that there are innocent people that are dead... It's very sad...

Now, there is another then... Then there is my friends daughter who got killed in California... She wasn't doing anything wrong... But because someone else made a bad choice, she is being buried this Thursday... I feel for her parents...

Maybe I'm being a bit paranoid but I think there are alot of evil people who don't care what they do to others because they only care about themselves... I may be posting this in a negative way... But I think that all those people who want to do harm like this to others needs to go onto their own island and have at it with each other... I know it isn't Christian like, but my goodness... And when someone says that something good will come out of it, I don't know if I'm buying that either...

Nothing Much....

This has been one of those lazy days when I did nothing at all... Then I was thinking I needed to post something in my blog, so I'm, posting how I have nothing to post, lol...
