Just Call me The Conspiracy Theorist.....

So- you've all wondered what my political beliefs are... especially since my Dad's passed, and I have to live my own life now. 

Well- it's pretty simple.  I am for gay rights. 100%, but that's probably because I am... well- let's just say not like everyone else.  But I believe in my heart that God gave us all free agency.  The right to decide what we truly believe in and how we feel.  Well- if a woman falls in love with another woman, or a man with a man- how is that a sin or bad?  It's not, in my book.  I believe that God is a loving and just God, and if people choose to fall in love with someone of the same sex- he doesn't hate them!  No way.  It's just the way things are... people can't help who they fall in love with- gay, bi or straight.  It just happens. So damn it, let them be themselves!

I am LDS.  I admit that, and I admit it freely. BUT, I also have some majorly huge faults with religion.  Since the dawn of time, it has caused numerous unnecessary deaths.  Christ's apostles after his crucifixion, being murdered ruthlessly.  The Crusades.  The Latter-Day-Saints on the Oregon trail/Saints trek. The murder of Joseph Smith.  The Mountain Meadows Massacre.  Honor Killings within Islam.  Our damn current war!!

It's pretty damn crazy! I am not going to lie.  I mean, really?  Religion is always (usually) the precursor for a war-the little match that sets things aflame.  Think about it!  The Holocaust and World War II- the mass extermination of millions of innocent Jewish people by an Ayrian race with a crazy-ass psycho leader.  [Master of Puppets much??]

The Iraq/Operation Spring War.... the fight between Islam and Christianity (Here again I refer back to the Crusades).  It's ridiculous.  I'm not saying that I don't believe in God.... but most religions have got some serious issues that need to be dealt with somehow or another. 

I am not a hard-core Conservative, in any sense of mind.  I disagree with the war in Afghanistan.  Yes, the soldiers are fighting for a good reason- but there are soooo many deaths, and men sent home in caskets instead of in cars, waving hello to family and loved ones.  Terrorism is always going to exist-- why fight something that you cannot completely halt?  I can see it becoming a thing like Vietnam, when we withdraw completely.  It's all pretty intense stuff. 

I don't consider myself super-uber Liberal though, either.  I'm against abortion... always will be.  I'm not a hippie that will scream profanities and hatred against our country, despite the mistakes that we've made.  All countries make mistakes at some point or another. 

To put it in a nutshell, I am an Inde-Con-eral.  (A mix of independent, Conservative, and Liberal). :)

Ahhh I can go on, and on and on for hours.  But for now, I'm signing off with a smile, and wave goodbye.  Have a great evening, everyone. :)

Procrastinate? ME?!

Okay, so I'm just kidding... kind-of.  I AM procrastinating.  I have to get ready for my saxophone lesson at 2:30, and the bus leaves at 1:50... *sigh.*  AND it's just great because I've practiced maybe a few times this week- I've just been too stressed out.
BUT I'm looking forward to tonight, and tomorrow night!  My (former) Godmother is visiting with me tonight for dinner to catch up on everything.  That should be interesting.... or not.  I don't know yet!  Tomorrow night is Institute with my lovely sister in faith, Becca Davis.  I'm so psyched- it's so wonderful to learn more about my newfound religion, and grow closer to my Heavenly Father, and His wonderful Son! :)  Not to mention this little thing called the Holy Ghost. ;) (Who I can say, I think works with my dad, hand in hand right now). :)

ANYWAY... I really should be going- but that was a quickie update. :) I'll give you more later tonight, and tomorrow for sure! LOVES!

xoxoxo,

Fourth of July.... It was His Favorite Holiday! :)

Yes- Happy 4th of July, everyone.


Bear's favorite holiday was the 4th, and it brings tears to my eyes to know that he's not here with us.... but also peace and comfort to know that he is going to have a fantastic show in the most glorious and beautiful place. :)


I cannot believe that it's the 4th already! Not only was it his favorite holiday, but it's mine, as well.  There's just something so beautiful about celebrating our independence from the British!  It's also a reminder that my baptism is this weekend! July 9th. My dad's Celebration of Life is the 12th at the LDS Church- and it's going to be glorious! I can feel it.  I even get to sing! Yes- but I will leave that for a surprise, and for all those attending to see for themselves. ;)


This is the happiest I've been yet.  My dad wouldn't want me to mourn.  He expects tears every now and then, yes-- but he wouldn't want me to dwell on his passing.  I know that he's in a better place.  He knows that he is.  He is being taught glorious things in the most beautiful of places right before Heaven.  :) It's wonderful.

Well- I'm signing off, everyone. :) Have a wonderful, and safe 4th of July!
