Westboro Baptist Church Gets A Taste Of Their Own Medicine

This article posted up on my Facebook news feed, "Nonprofit buys house across from Westboro Baptist Church and paints it colors of gay pride flag." How could you not stop and click on the link and read the article? Especially being from the Midwest, this article hits close to home. Topeka, where the Westboro Baptist Church is located not far from my hometown and where I attend college. When the Missouri River was flooded I often drove past the road sign pointing the way to the church, some of their pickets and a few of their other and larger signs. The fact that this Nonprofit organization is taking a stand in a very non violent and humorous way gives the rest of the Midwest and country a bit of hope that even though some of us may be to scared or unable to do it alone, there are people willing to take a stand.

 Personally I believe that the Westboro Baptist Church gives not only a bad name to the Midwest but a bad reputation to the United States. Yes, I am a liberal but we are the country of the FREE not the country of hateful religions. We have the freedom to and from religion so how is it that we let one religion define our country? America is a country of Muslims, Christians, Hindus, Jews, and even blonde hair, blue eyed Buddhist. I do not understand why religions fight when they all teach the same basic principals, do not kill and love everyone. In my family, my mother is Catholic, my father is an Atheist, my little brother is a Christian, one of my little sisters is undecided on the whole topic, the other last I knew was an Evolutionist and I am a Buddhist. How is it that my family of six people can coexist and love each other unconditionally despite conflicting decisions and a world of strangers can not live side by side peacefully?

Stay classy. Stay coexisting.

Dropping off the face of the Earth...that's me

Sorry I have been gone forever. But guess what if Ryan and I move into this apartment with a friend, we will have internet! Yay, more blogging! Also this kid right here may be, possibly, pretty darn sure is getting a hedgehog! And I shall name him Mr. Sebastian Biscuits. Sebastian the hedgehog is in "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and as for the Biscuits part I have no idea. Maybe I am carving baked goods, since I hardly eat them since no gluten for me and our oven is broken. But I am going to post some links below for any of those of you out there wanting a hedgie. They were super helpful for me. And if I do get a hedgehog, I can see this blog quickly becoming "The Fantastic Adventures of Mr. Sebastian Biscuits: The Greatest Hedgehog." LOL. I know I never posted that recipe but it will happen I promise, I just miss placed it. ok...ok...I lost it. shame. Any who, without further ado hedgie links and pictures!
