What's with all the hate?

Hello, everyone!

Okay, so I understand that we all have differing views and opinions, but I don't understand why so many people act so primitive about it. Resorting to physical assault, insulting each other, demeaning all beliefs that differ from their own. 

Guess what? Tolerance goes both ways.

How much better would this country be if everyone stopped hating each other and tried to work toward loving one another instead? 

I'm a Christian and I believe it's my job to love people, just like Jesus. I mean, the guy asked God to forgive the people murdering him. When someone tried to stone a prostitute in front of him, he basically told them they had no right to judge her because everyone sins. He told his disciples that love was the most important commandment. He said all the laws and prophets would be fulfilled if they loved God and loved everyone (this part is awesome) as much as they loved themselves.

People insult Jesus, but he wasn't a bad guy. Even if you don't believe he is the son of God, he was still a compassionate man who just wanted people to love each other.

A lot of Christians seem to have lost sight of this. Paul became a philosopher to the philosophers in Athens. Some of them believed and followed him. Now, if he had confronted them and called them all sinners bound for hell, how many do you think would have followed him? He found common ground with them and told them about the love of his God. Judgement and hate doesn't reveal the goodness of God.

I believe everyone, not just Christians, should love and respect each other. Treat one another with kindness. Our humanity is what separates us from wild animals. If we ever want to become an enlightened, compassionate race... Then we have to each decide to live in a way that inspires hope, peace, and love. Not fear, division, and hatred.

I really hope we get this one day.

Writing, Writing, Writing

It seems there are not enough hours in the day to feed my writing obsession the way it needs to be fed. Rest assured that progress is being made, though my other roles in life give me even less time to work. I am posting an update, however. I am on the final chapters of A Story For Ireland. I know it has been years, but I needed to adjust to my role as a mother. That was a pretty massive adjustment. Before motherhood, I was able to write a book in a year. I am back on the horse and ready to proceed, though, so I will FINALLY have A Story For Ireland out by the end of this year. I am also very excited about my new fantasy series, The Chronicles Of Arith.  I am currently posting it exclusively on Channillo, but it may also make an appearance on KDP. The short story,   Tania Of Acona , has become a book titled Assassin: The Chronicles Of Arith . I hope it is enjoyed by others as much as I enjoyed writing it. Here is the most recent excerpt and a link: They had reached the e...

Assassin Chapter Eight Sample

Greetings! I am blogging to announce another chapter update on Channillo. Enjoy the free sample below! ************************************** Thayne’s eyes shone white and a strange pattern appeared on his skin as he purposefully opened his fingers. Eric’s body split apart with that single gesture. The boy screamed only a second before Thayne closed his hand and his nephew fell to the ground whole again. “It was worse for her,” Thayne growled as Eric shook violently and vomited in the dirt. “Be grateful I held you in stasis.”  When The Knight turned toward her, she flinched. Forget the guild. This man was more dangerous than any of them combined. He seemed sad again as he examined her expression. “Go lay down on my cot,” he said softly. “You’ll need to rest before you feel well again.” ************************************** Thank you for reading my sample! If you are interested in more, then please find me here  on Channillo. Happy Reading! ...
