Is it so difficult for people to live with each other. It totally escapes me that we cannot seem to live in the same world with each other.

Two men serve God all their lives, but because they don't worship the same way, they hate each other?

Gay, straight, Jew, Gentile, black, white, rich, poor, yellow, purple, man, woman, why the heck does it matter?

It really does baffle me. Somewhere in my overly logical pea sized brain, I cannot come to any reason that makes sense why we treat each other with anything but love. We kill over land, God, money, and power. Why?

If their is a chance for us, I have to believe we can get past this one day. Is it possible we can be better than this? Do we have hope?

Some of us here have taken brave steps, steps to be who we are. To be honest about who we are. I think that is one step to being better on the whole. It is by no means enough, but it's a step. We have all heard the "I Have a Dream" speech on tapes or in person. I think we can be that brave. I think some of us are that brave. It's a good thing to remember the people that have gone before us to make this world a better place. If, for no other reason than to follow in their footsteps.

Take a step today and be nice to someone.

Maybe even go out on a limb and be nice to two people today.

It gave me my first smile today imagining just a few of you actually doing it.

Thanks,

Kevin
