sorry let my emotions get the better of me on this one ........................
I thought we were all the same as one human race. Why do people still get a kick with calling other people names or ignore them all together because their different , It should not matter if a person is black or white or handicap . It should not matter what their nationalities are or sexual preferences . A person is a person no matter who you are ,I thought we were all made in His image weren't we ? So what if someone's in a wheelchair or how they behave at home .I know from personal experiences how people are treated . I'd live in a neighborhood where the black and spanish people are in fact treated better then I am and I'm white . Being different sometimes hurt I'm sorry to say . Being different should not be a crime or sin . If God knew what was going on he probably cry . Tired of being different it shouldn't have to be this way . I'm going to say this but I might get fine I don't care . How has the country change since we got a black President ? I haven't seen none .None at all .I'm sorry to say . Country's still the same . Thought by now being different wasn't a crime what a shame . end

Richard, a most powerful line..."if God knew what was going on he would cry."

Richard,
AMEN to this write. NO it shouldn't matter if a person is black, white, in a wheelchair, bedridden, walks with a cane, I see RED when I see the handicapped shunned, or see a disabled person or Vet looked on as 'different'. Thank God in Heaven we will be equal. Outstanding write, Richard. A keeper!

Blessings and Peace,
~Linda

GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS. SO ONE WONDERS, KNOWING ALL THINGS, WHY DID HE PURPOSELY MAKE US DIFFERENT. WHY AREN'T ALL THE FLOWERS IN THE WORLD ONE COLOR...WHY THE VAST ARRAY OF VIBRANT, LUSHIOUS COLORS THAT BEAUTIFY THE EARTH? COULD IT BE THAT WE, CREATED IN HIS IMAGAGE, WERE CREATED TO DO THE SAME THING?...TO BEAUTIFY THE EARTH AND BE LIVING EXAMPLES OF HIS WONDROUS LOVE FOR ALL MAN KIND? SO WHY ISN'T IT SO?...YOU ASK. WELL...WE'D HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE GARDEN OF EDEN TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD'S 'PERFECT PLAN' WAS CHANGED BECAUSE OF DISOBEDIENCE. SO HOW DO WE FIX IT? THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT 'GOD IS LOVE'....THEN ONLY HIS LOVE, LIVING INSIDE OF US, CAN FIX IT AND IT HAS TO START WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL. DESPITE THE OBSTACLES, DESPITE THE SNUBS, DESPITE THE OBVIOUS PREJUDICES, EACH PERSON WHO HAS LEARNED THAT WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF ONE GOD, MUST TAKE THAT REVELATION...THAT LOVE...AND SPREAD IT...BEGINNING AT HOME AND THEN ABROAD. THIS WORKS BELIEVE ME...I AM NOT SOON TO BE 65 AND A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF GOD'S LOVE REACHED OUT TO BE AT THE AGE OF 4 AND I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN IT. I KNOW THAT THERE IS LOVE IN THE WORLD THAT IS BLIND TO THE COLOR OF A PERSON'S SKIN AND I KNOW THAT THIS LOVE EXISTS BECAUSE OF A SIMPLE ACT OF KINDNESS. PLEASE SEE ONE OF HIS INSPIRATIONS ENTITLED 'THE BUS RIDE'. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WORK THAT SUPPORTS YOUR THEME WELL. GOD BLESS.
