Love, Family and Religion

Well, yesterday was Valentine's Day, and I had a very nice day.  It started off with a nice lie-in in the morning.  Then Bill and Mary surprised me by bringing my mother, and pizza here for lunch.  It was wonderful to have some company, and to have it be family is even better.  Then, in the afternoon Dave came home early tonight, and did up the dishes while he encouraged me to lie down for a much needed nap.  We had a nice evening at home, and off to bed nice and early.
Now to the business of Religion.  My "friend" C is a Jehovah's Witness.  She has been doing bible study with me for a few years off and on.  But, now we are getting into some of the more unbelievable parts of being a witness.  I can't believe that people believe these things.  She told me, in so many words that only those that have become witness' will be saved when the end of the earth comes. As well as some other things that I find ridiculous.  I decided to do some of my own research on the web, and I found out that if I stop bible study, she will be encouraged to walk away from our "friendship" and not waste her time on me anymore.  That being the case, I have decided that I have to get myself used to the idea of losing her friendship.  I get very frustrated with religions like that.  I was taught that a just God is the only kind of God that we have.  Regardless of religion.  God forgives all.  God loves us all and is ready to to forgive our sins.  The witness' believe so much difference.  Now please don't think I'm just picking on them, but they are the only ones that I have learned about, with the opposite views.  I am beginning to think that Religion is the root of all evil, because organized religion tears families apart and makes people feel like they have failed.  Organized religion is the cause of many wars.  Oh well, enough of my tirade!  We'll get back into it another day.
On a health note, my abdomen is hurting every time I eat.  I do believe that I have scar tissue built up just in from the stoma, and that has severely narrowed the intestine.  I hope the new doctors will listen to me, and take that into consideration when I talk to them tomorrow.  Also, Dr. B will be happy to hear that I have made some breakthrough's as to what has been bothering me since I was a child. 
People really need to try harder to protect their children from older children 'predators', and I hope that my kids remember this, with their children.  Really know the older kids that you trust to look after your kids.  REally know the adults that you trust with your children.  If you get any funny feelings in the pit of your stomach, pay attention to them.  Don't feel bad, to say no.  Better to keep your children safe, then to worry about making someone else feel bad.
ANyway, that's all for today.  Have a great day everyone!  And if you love chocolate like I do, get out there and shop for some great deals today!
