I have been watching a bunch of shows on slavery lately on PBS. It makes me so sad to think of such a horrible event in history. The American Indians having their land stolen from them is another topic I don't like to think about but it happened and as with anything in history if we do not know about it we are destined to repeat it and that is not something I want to do.
It's been going on throughout history you know. Slavery and injustices. It is a fallen horrible world with evil and sin trying to win out. It is better for evil if we are against each other and if we fight one another that plays right into the devils plan.
I want to talk about something though. My small brain can not fathom many things, but one thing that I understand is that we all came from Adam and Eve. 1 couple. I don't know how it all worked. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a Discovery Channel camera crew doing a reality television show back then, but I am a Christian and it is my belief that we all, every last one of us, came from 1 couple.
Now, think about that for a minute. That means that we are all just one big family. If you have darker skin maybe you lived in a climate with a lot of sun and your skin had to adapt darker in order to protect itself. If you have crazy light skin and blonde hair maybe you came from a colder climate where your body didn't need as much natural protection. I don't know how it all happened but I truly believe that it did.
I am not perfect. There are people out there in the world that I don't care for, but my annoyance does not come from the color of ones skin or the shape of your eyes. My dislike comes from hatefulness or an unkind heart.
If you are a kind person that shows love and is kind to others I'm going to like you. If you are able to make me laugh, you are going to have to get a restraining order, because laughter is one my favorite things in the world!!
I want you to go out into the world today and just be nice. If you can't do that stay home cause you aren't doing anybody any favors by being a jerk. Life is hard and we don't need it to get any harder. Go out there and lighten someones load today!!

I am a firm believer that there was, in fact, a Discovery Channel crew making a reality show, which will one day be uncovered by archaeology! :)
