All People Are Created Equal

And should be treated that way.

All People Are Created Equal

This week, following the inauguration of Donald Trump, started the Women’s Movement. This movement stands for womanhood, equality, LGBTQ rights, and minority groups facing discrimination.

I am a Christian. I sometimes do not agree with people on controversial topics, but one thing I pray we can all agree on is it is good to be kind.

Seeing the women’s movement this weekend was something I did not believe I would see in a lifetime. Although I did not always like what I saw.

At first, I thought it was women feeling empowered to stand for what they believed in. I saw something very different when I looked on social media. People claiming, they want ALL people to be treated equal, but treating OUR PRESIDENT like scum. Even stooping so low to comparing President Trump to Hitler.

In his Inaugural address, Donald Trump said:

“When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice. The Bible tells us, ‘How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity.’

We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.

When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.”

He spoke to not being prejudice (which includes LGBTQ people, races, religions, and gender), he spoke to living together in unity and spoke to being open minded and keeping the peace. And yet, he was still accused of fighting against all of this.

Women, stand together in love for your beliefs. Do not name call, because that means you lose automatically. If you truly believe ALL people are equal, then believe President Trump should be treated equally. No, he is not perfect. Yes, he has made many mistakes, but he is still your president. Treat him with the respect of his title even if you disagree with his politics.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
