Homo sexuality and marriage
What is the first question that someone will probably ask a person who is against homosexual marriages? How does it affect you? Most people say as long as they don’t disrupt there lives it is fine what those people do. It is their life.
Here is my take. We have been witness of how many bad things have happened when man tries to make his own path to walk on. Nothing happens in the first years, but it always finishes bad for someone.
For example, for a long time, slavery was permitted around the world. Perhaps, people were suffering in silence. There came a time where people got tired, and they slowly gained there freedom.
I can tell you about more stories like that but this will suffice.
All of us must learn what are our abilities and disabilities. A lot of people say that gay people did not choose to be that way. None of us chose to be born the way we were.
I know they are in pain but so are other people. As a blind person, I cannot drive. This hurts me. I need to ask around to see if someone is willing to take me where I need to go.
We must learn how to suffer because with out it, we would not know many things. Without it, we would become ungrateful. People have to try to accept who they are.
Marriage is more than a union between two people. Marriage is a bond, a spiritual union; it is becoming one with the other person.
In homosexual marriages, this cannot happen because they are two people of the same gender. How is that union going to take place?
It cannot because of the many challenges. Our creator designed our bodies with a specific purpose. It does not matter if you are an atheist or a person who believes in a higher being, or if you are a religious person. Marriages are something sacred, and we cannot change things around just so we can fit them to please / satisfy our needs and wants.
Later on, it is going to be seen as normal seeing two men or women going places and not be criticized, by anyone because everyone will accept there lifestyle. Children will be taught to respect one another. That I agree with. Just because I do not accept gay people getting married does not mean that I don’t respect them and would be willing to help them if I could do it. If schools are teaching kids about homosexuality and that is OK, then they should begin to teach them about bullying, people with disabilities, finances, and discipline.
We still have a long way to walk, but it is the wrong way. Unfortunately, our priorities are set wrong. He who follows him will have everlasting life. He is the way, the truth, and the life.
We are as blind people in a dark room. He who is watching us is able to see, he sent his son to guide us. A lot of people have rejected him for so long. The Holy Spirit is like a flashlight, guiding us.
Knowing that we have made so many mistakes and that we have tripped over and over, why do we follow this rode?

A day to think
I wake up every morning. I give thanks to god because he has let me live one more day. I wish people could see what I see, but what I see can only be seen when a person stops and takes time to search within his or herself. You have what it takes to change things around you. For some, life has a new meaning when they are blind. People see things a different way. I believe in god although I am not able to see him, and I believe that the stars are up although I have never seen them. People have not proved to me that they are here. So, should I stop believing? No, because I trust the people that are around me when they tell me that they do and because I know that god has answered my prayers. He has given me people that I can trust. He has made one more beautiful day that people take for granted. My body will get tired, but my spirit will be happy because every day I am getting closer to my goals. Taking time to see the day and talk to god help me to grow stronger every day.
Searching in my mind allows me to be me, and not what the world wants me to be. For all of this, I give thanks to god.
Please think of these words. I am blind, but I can see. You will know what I wanted to say if you take time and help another person, talk to god, search within yourself, and love others as you love yourself.
Blessings

Thanks giving
My thanks giving
Thanks giving is for giving thanks for everything you have, everything you have accomplished, and to give thanks to all the people that love you and care about you. I give thanks to my friends because they have given me their, love, trust, and support. I would like to thank god because he has given me all the great things that people say I have. I would also like to give him thanks because without him I would be nothing. All my gifts have been given to me, so I can help people out. I am glad that those around me have recognized my gifts, but I would like for them to realize that god gave them to me. He is the one whom thanks should be given to. I would like to share my gifts with everyone. So, in the future, we could have a better life.

Judaism divided into three parts
Orthodox Judaism says that the torah, is very important no madder if it’s the written or the oral form. It states that practices such as circumcision, are very important. A person could give up is or her believe in god as long as he or she follows the practices. Reform Judaism says that the practices are no longer required. It tries to blend with today’s society. It modifies some things to fit modern times. I was confused when I read that it was coming back to the traditional ways. Conservative Judaism is in a way, the blending of orthodox and Reform Judaism. It states that the practices are very important As well as the laws of the Talmud and the torah. It tries to adapt modern things when it is necessary. It talks about an evolutionary process and that, “halachic authority can continue the halachic evolution today.” God is real and therefore, really important.

Covenants with god
There are different covenants in the bible. I will tell you about a few of them. God said that men should not eat flesh that still has blood. He also said that if men killed other men by shedding his blood, the murderer should be killed the same way. Everyone would be accountable for his actions. God established a covenant with Noah. He set a rainbow up above and everyone would be able to see it. He would remember his covenant every time he saw the rainbow. No longer would the earth be destroyed nor the lives of people be terminated by water or floods because of humans. He commanded every living creature as well as Noah, and those who were with him, to be fruitful and multiply.
I think the covenant with Noah was more than a rainbow because god would always be watching them. The rainbow was there to remind the people that were living then as well as the people who were going to follow, of this.
God made A covenant With Abram. He was going to give land to Abram. Abram wanted to know how he would know when he would have it. So, god told him to bring him several animals. These were A heifer, a goat, a ram, A dove, and a young pigeon. The first three had to be three years old. Abram cut the first three animals in half. This was a sacrifice that Abram had to do. Also, his people would be strangers in another country. They would be mistreated and enslaved for 400 years but then, they would be set free. They would be having great things with them, and there captors would be judged for what they did. Meanwhile, Abram would be safe, and he would be buried at a good old age.
God also said to Abram that his name should no longer be Abram, but He should be called Abraham for he will be father of many nations because of god. Kings will come from him, and he will have the son that he and his wife always wanted.
The change of Abram’s name to Abraham changed the whole future of history because A new group of people was born. These are who have influence today. Because of his name change, his people were able to do great things. It definitely shaped history.
God made a covenant with Abraham. He told him that all of the mails in his family and those who were not, but were in his house, should be circumcised. Every newborn there after, should be circumcised as well when he is eight years old. Everyone who does follow this will be cut off from his people. I don’t think circumcision is a sacrifice. Another sacrifice that Abraham had to make was to take his only son and take him to a land which god had told him, and offer him there for a burnt offering. Abraham prepared everything just as god had commanded him to. When he was ready to cut his son, an angel from heaven called out to him saying to not do anything to his son because now he knew that he feared god. I guess the angel knew this. The purpose of sacrificing Isaac was to test Abraham and how far he would go for god. I believe that Abraham had a very tuff decision. Abraham proved that his love for Jehovah was so deep by doing what god had commanded him to do.
The blood on Mount Sinai represented the blood of the covenant that god had made with the people. I think The blood of the animals was a sacrifice commanded by god. I have heard that there are movies about these events, but I have not seen one. I also don’t know if there were any cartoons made about this.

the creation story
In the beginning, god created the heavens and the earth. Because it was dark, he said, ” let there be light,” and there was light. Then, he separated the light and the darkness and that is how the first day became to be. On the second day, he created the sky. On the third day, He gathered the water that was under the sky to one place and then dry ground appeared. He called the gathered waters seas and the dry ground land. He also made plants and the trees. On the fourth day, he created the stars. On the fith day, god created the sea creatures and the birds. On the sixth day, god created cralling creatures , wild animals, livestock, and every other living thing. He also created man from the dust in the ground, in his image by breathing the breath of life into his nostrils. Then, he created the woman from one of the man’s ribs.
God told them that every living thing on earth as well as the sea was theirs. God wanted for every one to be fruitful. Also, he said to everyone to multiply.He created humans to oversee everything and to care for the land as well as the sea. He wanted there to be a place so, men would do good
