When Will They Ever Learn?
Think peace, live peace, breathe peace, exhibit peace in each and everything you do, each and every day. Touch a strangers life in a positive way, at least once a day.

Freedom of Religion
As I see it......
When, we the people, choose one religion over another, one freedom over another, we are jeopardizing not only our own freedom, but freedom for all!!
As forward thinkers, our founding fathers, knew and understood the importance of, not only, religious freedom but that of keeping the church and state separate.
If you or I have the right to dictate our religious beliefs over another, we risk losing that which we hold sacred as Americans. We risk our own religious freedom.
It is our obligation to hold true to the founding fathers ideals and to protect the sacredness of separation of church and state, and to protect religious freedom for all, not just those beliefs we hold close to our own heart, but, also the beliefs of those different than ourselves.
We strive to live in peace and harmony with our mother earth and all her creatures, and we also strive to not only tolerate other’s views and beliefs, but to accept and respect those views and beliefs as sacred to believer.
