Poltical Vent

So, it's been awhile since I've posted. Wow! Over a year! But there is so much going on in the world, for which I have thoughts, I can no longer stay quiet. For starters, we have no leadership. Our so-called president was aware of COVID-19 back 2019, and did nothing! Absolutely nothing! Now 150,000+ people have lost their lives, and families have been impacted forever. How pro-life that?...not very. The truth of the matter is...at least as how I see it...."President" Trump only ran for president because he thought it would bring him power...and it does...but I think he thought it would bring him Absolute Power..and that, it does not. He only ran for himself. He doesn't care about us. He is a narcissistic, racist, sexist, selfish human being. I think the thing of the matter is, is that...I know of people of whom left the Democratic party because they felt it wasn't the same Democratic party that they knew...Trump's Republican party isn't the Republican ...

Abortion Opinion & Graditudes

Okay, so wow! It's been awhile since I've blogged! Life got in the way. First of all, may I begin with all the abortion laws going into effect in so many Southern states. I hate it! I disagree with it. As a Christian Catholic, I do believe that abortion is morally and ethically wrong. I do not believe that abortion should be used as a form of birth control, sex selection, and/or as a, 'this child has special needs, can't handle that.' I do believe, however, that these new laws need to include cases of rape and incest as exceptions. I feel the fact that they do not is wrong. I would probably be more on board with these new laws if it did, but as is....wrong, wrong, wrong. And Alabama's new law is just plain too strict. My new stance on abortion...the above listed, in regards to the moral and ethical issues surrounding it, but that it needs to b-conservative e legal. Abortion is not right, but it needs to remain legal for said issues in the way where the situati...

The Wall

Okay....I am not trying to diminish the losses of the families & friends, whom loved ones were killed by illegal immigrants. They all seemed like beautiful & innocent souls lost, and I can only imagine the grief that said families & friends must be experiencing. That said, I do not feel that declaring a state of emergency on building the wall will resolve anything. American-born citizens have killed & kidnapped, and dealt drugs, too, and have put other families & friends through similar circumstances. On the flip side...though some immigrants have come to the U.S. illegally, they have come here, and have done good.There is good and bad throughout the whole world, not in just one particular area, and building a wall will not stop crime from happening. I do not have a Republican issue; I have a Trump issue. If building a wall was such an emergency, he would...well, should...be in Washington D.C., still at work. Where is he for the long holiday weekend, ...

My Spirituality/Some Politics

Okay...So where I fit, faithfully and religiously...I was baptized and raised Catholic. I consider myself to be a devout and currently practicing Catholic. I attend Mass on a regular basis, occasionally pray the Rosary, and do weekly adoration. HOWEVER, I do NOT agree with everything the Catholic Church stands for. A good example would be that of same-sexed beings and couples. I do believe God exists...we are not in this world alone...and I do not believe He makes mistakes. I do believe He would want all of His human creation to be happy and to live to the fullest. Why would He want us to be unhappy and alone?...He wouldn't. I think He would us to live to the fullest in EVERY sense of the word. AND I do believe same-sexed couples can be great parents...some probably better than straight parents. There are probably some straight parents that shouldn't be parents at all. Now, transgenderism is a bit harder for me to contemplate...because while I do believe He wants all of h...
