I figure I should stop in and post.  Things here have been crazy.  I don’t know where to begin.  Well, first let me say that I am happy that Obama is President Elect although that did not change the fact that here in the “sunshine state” things have been shitty.  Amendment 2 passed defining marriage between “one man and one woman” while at the same time – refusing to acknowledge civil unions and denying thousands of couples rights.  Bogus.  The last time politics and religion were mixed people were burned at the stake….seriously you would think we could move on from that!  While we are on the subject of religion – as some of you know I use this blog as a spiritual outlet – well I am about to vent again…..  My brother, whom I love very much, has started what I feel is a cult of sorts.  He has a preacher (with no knowledge or training at seminary) who he believes that God himself speaks to.  They have about 13 followers now.  I know that to some of you it may seem like WTF!?  It feels that way to me as well.  I don’t know how to aproach the situation – I mean they are screaming at people on the street that they are going to hell – my niece saw them and went to say hello and they scared her so bad she was crying her eyes out!  She is only 8 and his “preacher” told her she was going to hell – doesn’t Jesus say embrace the children not scare the shit out of them?!  He say’s he’s worried for peoples souls but not mine – because he only worries for the christians.  I am not even JOKING people – he has gone off the deep end.  They have a makeshift pulpit in their house.  How they think they have it right and ALL the churches are wrong is beyond me.  It is a little scary though when you think about it -  I mean what if they start cleansing the earth of sinner and come knocking on my door.   Creepy.  So…we are thinking about moving.
