Who Are We Becoming?

No matter who is President, I promise you that Jesus is still King.

Who Are We Becoming?
Crosswalk.com

I am so sick and tired of all of the hate due to the Presidential Election. I know that people are upset that Trump is going to be President. Does criticizing his supporters change that fact though? Blaming others does not fix the problem. Slowly our Country is dividing and the problem does not lie with the government. The problem lies with the PEOPLE. Each and every person who is criticizing others for their support on either candidate is the problem. They are the reason our Country is dividing.

I, personally, do not agree with either of the candidates we were given.They both had so many issues and I cannot believe that they were the two we had to choose from, but they were our choices. America chose Donald Trump. I am scared and worried about our future, but I cannot change what has occurred. Instead of rioting, how about praying? No matter who is President, I promise you that Jesus is still King. Jesus still sits on His throne and nothing will change that.

I am beyond pissed that people are burning the America flag. You have to be 18 years old to vote. Did maturity skip these adults? The men and women who fought and/or fight for our freedom do not deserve your blatant disrespect. You are not hurting Trump by burning our flag, you are hurting those families that lost their loved ones who fought for our freedom. You are hurting those who are now disabled due to them serving their country. Men and women put their lives on the line everyday for idiots who do not deserve it. If you do not like or care for America anymore, then please do us all a favor and LEAVE.

I have friends that voted for Clinton and friends that voted for Trump. I refuse to throw away our friendship because of who they voted for and their opinions. We are all entitled to our opinions. In the words of one of my favorite teachers, "This has become the United States of the Offended." America is supposedly built on diversity but the second someone disagrees with you, you feel offended.

Some people will probably be extremely upset with me for this article. Yes I am white. That means nothing to me. I have friends of all races, religions, and beliefs. I love every single one of them. I would do anything for any of them which includes taking in their opinions without being offended. Donald Trump may very well be a racist pig. He probably is and I do fear for those I love, but there is nothing I can do about it now. Yelling, screaming, and rioting will not change anything. The only thing that I can count on is the promise of God. I can pray to God to give Donald Trump guidance on how to run our Country. I pray for his heart and I pray for America. Why do I pray? I pray because I am a mature young adult who knows that acting like an idiot will NOT do anything for me.

Please do not throw up the fact that I can say all of this because I am white. I KNOW I AM WHITE. I cannot help my race at all. It is not my fault that I am white. Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I am not racist or judgmental in anyway. I love everyone and that is why I hit my knees and pray. Try it. God can make miracles happen.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
