Stop the Madness and My Fish Still Lives!

For those of you following the Beta Saga at our house.  The new one "Spot" is still alive and learning how to swim in a tank rather than in the plastic cup he had spent all of his life in.  So far so good.  Personally I have had a hard week so keeping a Beta alive for a few days is a huge plus.

     I saw a friend on Wednesday (after the election on Tuesday) and asked her how her week had gone so far.  With no school Monday and Tuesday my week had been long already.  My friend exploded, with spew for our nation and the results of the election.  How we now live in a Socialist world and her grand kids will never see the freedoms she had growing up.  That our elected President is a Muslim because his name is Barak Obama, forgetting that he goes to a Christian Church, and that the US has lost it's Christian values.  Much more came from her than I have room to say.
     The world knows that I am a Christian.  I am very "out of the closet" with my faith.  At the same time the US constitution guarantees  the separation of Church and State. It guarantees me the right to worship as I need under whatever label I put on it.  It guarantees me the right no not be persecuted because I am not the proper believer.  Do I care if our President is  a Christian?  No not really.  I care that this person now and future cares about the issues, the people and the future of the United States.  And no I won't tell you who I voted for.  As a Christian it is my job to pray for the current President.

    On to the idea of things our grandchildren will not have....  If we as a people continue to dump trash into fields, oceans, desserts ,and rivers, the physical world as we know it will be gone.  These open spaces are fragile! Their ecosystems cannot handle foreign objects in huge quantities.  Maybe that is why I am drawn to nature photography.  So that there is evidence of what it was like. (back then)
     As a Christian I have a responsibility to take care of this world.  God gave it to mankind to live in.  He also put us in charge of all living creatures.  Good intentioned people who feed the wild creatures canned food are not doing them any good.  When said person does not pick up the empty cans then there is now 2 hurts.  Please just stop feeding and stop littering.
