A man, after he has brushed off the dust and chips of his life, will have left only the hard, clean question: Was it good or was it evil? Have I done well - or ill?
~John Steinbeck~
It's something I struggle with everyday...still I try.

Part 1 of 2
I wanted to download Nick Gisburnes new video,but since someone already has I thought I'd try something different.To see words on paper,coupled with music,to me,is very powerful.Hope Nick doesn't mind.
His new video is called Christians: Hateful, Homophobic, Hypocritical.
Here are more of his 'words'
How any Christian can believe that senseless condemnation of the lifestyle choices of gay people can somehow be 'softened' by empty, meaningless 'compassion' for the person himself is nonsense. Separating homosexual acts from homosexual people, by professing to hate the sin but not the sinner, is BULLSHIT. It is hypocrisy of the very worst kind.
If you don't respect what the person is or does, you do not respect the person. If you hate what gay people do in the privacy of their own homes, you are a bigot and a homophobe. And if Christianity hates homosexuality, I should have no reservation in saying that I return the sentiment: I hate Christianity.
In the true spirit of Biblical teaching, we should all hate Christianity... but not the Christians. Have no respect AT ALL for their opinions, which condemn homosexuals AND homosexuality with their weasel words. Even if it IS a choice, who are Christians to say that it is wrong?

This is my 2nd vid about teenagers.Since I have two ,they are a huge part of my life.They are my life...
I think of how hard it was for me as a teen... I was never bullied in highschool(elementery/middleschool yes), had lots of friends,but my shyness crippled me.So if I found it hard, imagine all the others who found it difficult,to the point of suicide.
Today is a different world for them,with different pressures. I just wish at times the rest of us would stop and think what it was like when we were teens. It wasn't easy,I'm sure for them they feel the same.
So to all the teens out there...I SALUTE YOU.

I asked myself what I could do ,so far way. So sad...so many tears. I think of the parents and families left behind. So many young lives lost. Could we as a society learn form this tragedy? I hope so...I hope so.

The road less traveled is not always the eastiest,but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I've come to far to turn back now,and I'm glad.
I've read the bible...cover to cover...Have you?

Until the philosophy which hold one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war
That until there are no longer first class
And second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war
That until the basic human rights are equally
Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war
(Excerpts from Bob Marleys song,'war'.
