It came today and It took me completel...Yes, I did. It came today and It took me completely by surprise, thank you. You didn't have to do that. It did make me feel good to know you enjoyed the surprise =)<br /><br />I don't share your views on the authorities and we don't share views on politics, or religion, but I still respect you and consider you a friend. I know you are a great mom for your girls. We don't have to think alike, or feel the same to be friends. It is okay to disagree without hating.<br /><br />I'm not always good at getting my message across the way I intend. I'm not referring to any government, or any authorities. I meant that I yearn for more tolerance in people in general. I wish there was more acceptance for being different. I wish we were better at treating others with respect and honor each other's right to choose to live our lives the way we feel is the best for ourselves. <br /><br />I fear that the need to promote MY/OUR way as the ONLY way has become overly important to the point where it is acceptable to bully, abuse, rape and threaten everyone who isn't just so-and-so, or believes exactly this, or that. ramblings of the cold northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16460733768132459536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281469871139794992.post-44466064670713918092013-01-09T16:19:18.913+01:002013-01-09T16:19:18.913+01:00I am praying for you. It sounds weak to some, but ...I am praying for you. It sounds weak to some, but God is still God, and He takes care of His own. War is coming. 'Authorities' will blame this culture or that culture, because 'culture' has replaced nationalism. Next month, my Internet contract expires, so I may quit going online.
