I believe....

These are my beliefs...or I should say, some of them.

Not everyone will agree with them, and thats ok. They are mine and you should have yours.

I believe in the freedom of religion.

I believe that everyone has the right to believe (or not believe) as they want

I believe you or I do not have the right to force your religious beliefs on others. Not everyone believes what is written in the Bible and it’s not our place to judge them. Period.

I believe you don’t have to be religious to live by the golden rule.

I believe everyone should have the right to marry the person they love - even if they are the same sex.

I believe people are born straight, or gay, or lesbian, or bi or transgender...it’s not a choice.

I believe if you are gay, and trying to hide it - stop it. You are hurting yourself and others that are involved. Don't pretend to be straight if you aren't. Be you. Be honest.

I believe if you sneak and look at porn and are in a relationship – it’s the same as cheating. You are not thinking of your spouse, partner, significant other, etc. while you are looking at porn.

And, I believe, if you are looking at porn of the same gender as yourself…it should tell you something. And you should tell your spouse, partner, significant other etc… If you don't, you are being dishonest with them and yourself.

I believe if you are in a relationship - don't cheat.

I believe if you want to screw around, get out of the relationship you are in first.

I believe we should raise our children to accept others for who they are - not reject them for "what" they are. The "what" is just wrong...

I believe children are not meant to be hit. Switches belong on trees, hairbrushes are used to brush your hair, and belts are to hold up pants - period.

I believe there are other forms of discipline than hitting.

I believe children are to be loved and cared for. They are amazing little creatures and we can learn from them.

I believe everyone should be paid equal pay for equal work. No one should be paid less or more because of their gender.

I believe you should thank the Unions for your weekends. (Look it up)...

I don't believe it’s all Obama's fault.

I don't believe it was all Bush’s fault either.

I believe we, as Americans, need to take on part of the blame.

I believe high gas prices are the result of greed.

I believe states and the government should HELP people to get back on their feet - not support them. Help those who are working and trying to make a go of it - they might need a little boost.

I believe you should not go to emergency rooms if you, or your kids, have a cold or a little injury. Get a doctor.

I believe in a woman's choice. I could not have had an abortion but I believe no one has the right to tell a woman whether she can or can't. It’s not your right to make that decision for anyone. Even "teebows" mother had a choice.

I believe if a zygote is a person – then sperm should not be wasted either…They move and swim. Therefore they must be alive too.

I believe birth control pills should be free to any woman who wants them.

I believe no group of men only should make the decisions and laws concerning women and their health.

I believe people should watch out more for motorcycles.

I believe people should learn to "merge" onto the interstate like the sign says...

I believe people need to put down the damned phones and drive.

I believe texting is silly. What happened to talking to people?

I believe the truth will really set you free.

I believe no American should be asked to prove their citizenship while in their own country.

I believe that when someone resorts to calling others names that they have reached the end of their knowledge…their brains are dead.

I believe honesty really is the best policy.

I believe we should accept others differences. I may not look like you, read the same books, enjoy the same music – but that’s what makes me who I am.

I believe no one has the right to make fun of or berate others. I have been laughed at; it’s not a good feeling.

I believe if you truly love someone it does not matter if they are or get old, ugly, fat, skinny, disabled etc. – you still love them.

I believe you should never take people for granted.

I believe you should respect your elders – especially your parents.

I believe respect among your peers is earned, not a given.

I believe everyone has a talent of some sort.

I believe that sometimes there just isn't much to smile about. Other times...yea.

I believe work is a necessary evil.

I believe a sense of humor is necessary to survive in this world.

I believe everyone should live on their own, alone, at least once in their lives.

I believe if you lose trust in someone, you never fully get it back.

I believe honesty is worth it…

5:49 AM....

It started with heaviness in my feet and lower legs. I could not move. My eyes opened from a deep sleep and my mind wondered what could be happening. The sounds of engines started, low at first but got louder and louder as the heaviness left my legs and progressed to my lower abdomen. The feeling changed to that of a small herd of horses running back and forth across my stomach while the sound of engines grew louder and louder. I rolled to my side to try and flee the feeling to only have the sensation running up and down the hill that is my hips. The sounds of engines grew louder and louder as I rolled again to my back and the trampling sensation moved to my chest – back and forth back and forth. The sounds of the engines echoing in my ears as I again moved to my side. I close my eyes once again amidst the roaring of the engines and then it happens……a paw, in my eye. Ok guys…moms up…..Kittehs….
