I just don't see why people sweat religion, one way or the other. Any person who tries to make the world around them a better place, is kind, is a winner in my book.
What's in your head (religion, politics, ideas) isn't what's important. It's what's in your heart that counts!

Well said Ding.:wub:

It doesnt matter if people are white or black, gay or straight, fat or skinny. What matters is what kind of people we are…whether we are kind, considerate, ethical, loving, helpful towards the rest of the creatures with which we share this planet.
Yep!

Funny thing is the first thing that pops up in people's heads when you tell them you're pagan is the wicked witch from the wizard of oz. When they give me that "look", I generally tell them that yes, my monkeys do fly. The look on their face is PRICELESS! :)

Good evening all. Not hiding as it were, I've been reading but just don't have anything to say. Life has become a bit of a struggle lately. I don't know from day to day, week to week if I will have a job in the future. With all the talk at work, I'm thinking probably not but I'm keeping the faith that something there, or if not there but somewhere else will open up. I'm also struggling with my daughter and her health issues. They've tested her for Celiac and that was negative so now they are looking at Crohn's or Ulcerative Coilitis as the catalyst for her health issues. It's really hard watching one of your kids go through that. I think my son is addicted to drugs so that is weighing on me too. So yep! Life is very hard for me right now with all the uncertainty that's surrounding me. I'm trying really, really hard to stay positive at this point and time but it's difficult.
And since we're kinda having a coming out party here maybe it's time for me to confess a bit. With the talk of religion, I'm Pagan. Yes, that's witchcraft and no, I do not worship satan, contrary to popular belief. I've always had a strange distrust of organized religion even though I went to church faithfully from the time I was a small child up until a few years ago. But I always questioned the things I was being told. It just never "fit" for me. I started doing some research and met a Pagan girl at work. She opened my eyes to a whole new world. One I was comfortable being in so I did even more research and finally felt complete. Now that I'm all out in the open, I hope that I'm still welcome here.

I've worked with & hired several Pagan's. Not for me, but not a problem, either. Just one of those not my business things. In case you haven't caught on I pray often. Not big, long, elaborate blah blah's. I don't believe that is required. More like a he/she has a need, a little help there please? I'm not concerned if anyone likes it or not, anymore than they should be concerned that I do it. Sometimes just the realization that someone cares enough to do it works wonders to relieve anxiety. It's what I do.

No worries from me Kenna! I think we all need prayers whether you're praying to God or in my case the Mother Goddess. :)

One more thing that's worrying me..Colton's Medicaid is ending on the 30th of this month. I found out at work that I can add him to my plan but the insurance there is a joke. His neurologist bill plus his seizure meds and his antidepressant will break me from month to month. Thankfully, he only has 1 more upcoming appointment with the neurologist if he stays seizure free. After that, he'll only have to see him every 6 months as long as he stays stable. My deductible for him and I both is $3,600 and the plan pays nothing until that deductible is met. I won't be going to the doctor anytime soon.
Ouch! Well, you know what I'm doing!

Hope everything works out for you. As far as religion I consider myself Agnostic. A persons religious beliefs are strictly their business, and being religious doesn't make someone a good person, just as not being religious doesn't make someone a bad person in my opinion.
Amen!

Thanks everyone! It was really hard to post because I know how some people view the Pagan/Wiccan lifestyle. And even though my adopted sister calls me a heathen(she does it lovingly) I'm really not. I'm just a normal person with different beliefs.
@kad2371 I knew that you already knew that. Kaz does too. I told him a few months back.
Anyway, I truly love you all!!! :wub:
Lol! I caught on loooong ago!

I feel the same way Mark. For me, it's how people treat others and me, not their religious beliefs. We're supposed to love everybody whether they're straight or gay, black or white, religious or not, and all the other trappings society puts on us.
THIS!!

My sister got this for me. I have a low bs tolerance & get a bit snarky when it's being served!

Great video on this post about vaping vs smoking

High End REGULATED MODS !
Very good video! His always are. But it annoys me to no end that Britain's health organizations came out so strongly in favor of vaping, and were ignored. The dang govt there even has put awful regulations on vaping. We all know why of course, it's all about the dollars. But I truly had hope that Britain would get it right at least.

if that's what he was going for....he needs to work on it a bit hehehe He still looks way too cuddly :p
