Just Because I Don't Believe In The Bible

Just because I don’t believe in the Bible or in God doesn’t mean I am a bad person or that I have no morals. I don’t believe in murder, I hate to see others hurt or in pain, I try to treat others as I would like to be treated, I am faithful to my husband, I do my best to help those in need and have even made it my life’s work…I just don’t need a deity or a holy book to tell me I have to do all of those things. I choose to do them on my own. I also don’t need the threat of hell, horrific afterlives, or bad karma to make me “do the right thing”. This is a choice I make on my own without coercion or threat from religion and other organized belief systems. Am I perfect? Not by a long shot. Is my imperfection due to a lack of religion? No, it’s due to being human.

I Love My Aunt Lynn

Not a lot of time for blogging this past week. My Aunt and I are cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. My house will be in order by November. After we clean we are going to redo the floors and paint! I can’t wait. For some odd reason my Aunt LOVES this stuff and had a major talent for it as well. That gene passed me by while I was in the womb. My Aunt is a lifesaver and a Saint. There are not words to thank her for what she is doing for me.

Where's Waldo and Attempts at Grand Theft Auto

Can any two people be more inept at doing a good deed?


It started on Friday night when my Aunt Lynn and I were approached by a guy who needed about $14 to help him get to his mom who was in the hospital. We told the guy that we didn’t have any cash on us (which was true) but we told him we would see what we could do. He thanked us and went over to sit on the curb. My Aunt and I sat in her car for a while trying to decide what to do. We finally decided to run to the grocery store up the road and get $20 for the guy. Here comes the problem. We forgot to let the guy in on our plan so by the time we get back he was gone. Giving up is not an option, so we drive around the area for a while hoping to spot him. I have always been good at Where’s Waldo so this should be easy, right? Wrong. No luck at all. I sure hope that guy is ok, and if he was truly in need of help someone came to his rescue. That is, someone more competent than my Aunt and me.

So then on Saturday we get our 2nd chance at a good deed. We find a set of keys in the parking lot at the Southlake Town Square. The likelihood of actually finding the person is nil, but the car key is one with the remote key fob attached to the key. This should be simple right? Just drive around and press the buttons on the fob until we hear the car. Wrong again. Either the car is already gone or the key fob is dead. Our next bright idea? We notice the symbol on the key is for a Toyota so we drive around and find the Toyotas in the parking lot and try the key and see if it opens the door. I think this might qualify as Breaking and Entering or attempts at Grand Theft Auto in some places, but damn it we are going to complete at least one good deed this weekend. Again we fail. There a lot of blasted Toyotas out there! Our last ditch effort is to call the customer service number for the frequent buyer card that is on the key chain. The customer service rep was less than helpful. At this point it has been an hour and it is nearing midnight. The last of the shoppers are starting to come to their cars. We decide to follow those folks who are nearing a Toyota to see if they look distressed from having lost their keys. Ummmmm…does that qualify as stalking? Finally, we give up and go in search of a security guard and turn the keys over to him. I sure hope there wasn’t some poor young college girl leaving her waitressing job at 1:00 AM standing alone in a parking lot frantically trying to find her keys, or having to spend that night’s tips on a locksmith.

We tried, we really did. Neither of us will give up on good deeds, we just hope we get better at them!

Random Opinions

Thanks to my wonderful Vicodin my head feels like it's in the clouds. I have so much I want to talk about today but I just can't really get my thoughts to transfer into written word very well. Here on some thought snippets I am hoping to expand on later:

Why is it when a group of people simply want equality some automatically begin to fear a hostile takeover by that group of people?

It is funny to me how so many want to eradicate the concept and practice of Separation of Church and State so long as Christianity is the only religion being unified with government. I guarantee you if a Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Wiccan or any follower of a religion other than Christianity was to question the concept Christians would suddenly practice strict adherence to the concept of Separation of Church and State.

Thanks Followers!

Wow! I am up to 5 followers. It shocks me that there are even 5 people who care about what I have to say and are willing to put up with my rants, even if 3 of them are family members. Thanks everyone!

Why Not a Niche Blog?

Many times I have heard and read that it is best to find a niche when creating a blog. I really mulled this over a lot but I just couldn’t reduce myself to just one subject. There are too many sides to me and too many things that I feel passionate about. In no way can I simply write about my Bipolar Disorder as if that is all there is to my life, but I also can’t write about my life in dog rescue, my family, my opinions, or my work without talking about how my Bipolar Disorder effects them. Plus, this is simply who I am. I am constantly all over the place, pouring my passion, heart and soul into the many different things that are important to me. So, I hope you don’t find my blog too disjointed, incoherent or disorganized but it’s really just who I am and sometimes my life can be just that. For that reason I am going to try to be good about labeling my posts and keeping my posts to one subject a piece. That way, if you don’t really give a shit about my random opinions you can skip that and go straight to my posts about dog rescue or Bipolar Disorder. I hope that helps.

Happy reading and blogging!

I'm 31 and I'm Scared of the Dark

So I am blogging and Facebooking away and suddenly the electricity goes out. It's 2:00 AM so it is DARK and SCARY! I actually started shaking. LOL! Part of it has to do with the fact that the hubby is at work so it's just me and the doggies, but still, I'm a grown woman. Thankfully the outage was short lived. Now I'm off to find a flash light, just in case.
