So, after volunteering, donating and entering all kinds of contests, I'm not going to go to Denver for the convention, or for the speech. Bummer.
To top it off, there is some conservative Christian group that is praying for rain on Barack Obama's speech. I read on the web about a Baptist Church that goes to the funerals of famous people and pickets and tells folks they are going to hell. They said some rotten things about Eizabeth Edwards. They said some rotten things about John Edwards. (Yes, what he did was awful, but these people went over the top condemning him...) They make statements, "God hates__________ (fill in the blank)."
How awful. Most people preach that "God loves us." and while, at times, I find it difficult to believe, I guess I have to believe it, especially when my faith waivers - which is often. For a group to state that "God hates..." and to call itself Christian or God-fearing is, succinctly, just awful. No wonder the world is a mess. I wish God would sit down with those people who say "God hates_______ (fill in the blank)." so God could say, "No! I do not hate them. I do not hate YOU, but you'd better start behaving and live in the love that I have for all that I have created - even YOU."
Maybe they would act better and I wouldn't have to read about them.

Good to read your blog, since you sound like a thinking person (we need these) though I do not share your enthusiasm for Barack. (No, I'm NOT a Republican....I'm a Green)
Hope I see you on Quoteland sometimes....If you like poetry, I suggest you look in on my blog at: http://synchrospoeticthoughts.blogspot.com
I'm not claiming that the poetry is any good, but at least you'll learn how NOT to write it. :-)
