the devil is alive, i feel him breathin

did you know that there are over 15,000 neo-nazis in america today? to think in the 21st century that there are people out there who actually believe that their aryan blood is superior. there are people in our country who believe jews are plotting to breed whites out of existence. people who are more than willing to use violence in order for a white society to exist. people who burn Anne Frank books in the name of christianity.

while a small minority of american neo-nazis draw public attention, most operate underground, so they can recruit, organize and raise funds without interference or harassment. prisons house many white supremacists and neo-nazi prison gangs, and often white prisoners join those gangs for protection. those neo-nazi groups that do operate more publicly use stage protests and rallies that spread fear throughout the community. i saw a clip of one in washington outside the white house. anti neo nazis were using pepperspray, they were giving the neo-nazis the finger and cursing their heads off at them. they wore bandannas over their mouths. one explained that the neo nazis dressed to intimidate so they should too. 4 protesters of the rally were taken under arrest for attacking neo-nazis.

hate fighting hate

it's so heartbreaking for me to see that we have not learned anything from dr. king.

"darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. the beauty of nonviolence is that in its own way and in its own time it seeks to break the chain reaction of evil."

recentley a man, dr. george tiller, who remained one of the nation's few providers of late-term abortions through decades of protests and attacks, was shot and killed in a church where he was serving as an usher and his wife was in the choir.

violence cannot condem violence. Jesus taught us to pray for our enemies but does anyone do that today? have we forgotten all that our nation's history holds?

"he who lives by the sword will die by the sword." Jesus

it is our job to LOVE and EDUCATE those who have been mislead.

my life and thoughts as of late

so i'm working at kerby's koney island this summer with my love natalie. it's a good solid job and can even be fun at times, the pay isnt great, but hell i'll take it. moving back home has been a really long process. my room is a wreck and therefore i am unable to get anything done it seems. i plan on taking some summer classes at Eastern later on and going to Jamaica in august, dancing a ton, getting a gym membership and yadda yadda yadda. to be completely honest with myself i'm not sure if i should be disappointed with where i'm at or not. i know this kind of mundane life is to be expected until i'm finished with college but it still aggravates me. i just want it all to be over ith so i can move on with my life and do something worth living for. i want to help people NOW. i want to travel and advocate and pour all of me into something that impacts the world. i want to make big differences in people's lives...it just seems so far off, and it makes me nervous that i might be getting comfortable with where i'm at. like i'll never get my plans moving. it'll just turn into something so trivial like helping out at soup kitchens once a month when i'm forty. that's not what i want. i want bigger.

and in a lot of little ways i can feel God preparing me for my future. Like when i go spend my parents money lavishly or get crazy drunk at a party there's always this little moment where i recognize the fact that my life won't be anything like this in a little while. these days of me living this way, being this incredibly comfortable, are numbered. i can just feel that the life i have always lived is nothing like the future God has planned for me. i can't rely on my parents my whole life. i can't live to satisfy my own desires forever. i guess it's time i got the ball rolling even though i'm stuck in college for a bit longer. i need to stop using it as an excuse. i feel like a lot of people my age do that and i don't want to be apart of that anymore.

thankfully my God is patient. He will lead and counsel me through all of this.
