One dude is a Mormon, and the other is Arabian. --- I'm going to re-read this for at least for the 5th time... just so that I'm on the same page, because this theme keeps popping up in which at the end of the day.... everybody has a place at the buffet table.
Thursday Night - I went to a Spanish Language, Mormon Church Service for a second part of a sermon that was done... which raised eyebrows, and had to do with what is thought of when "Right Relationships" is in order.
Even though... I bought my Male Significant Other with me, and it didn't occur one moment how this would LOOK TO OTHERS in the congregation. The truth is pretty simple - how well do you respect, and honor individuals in one's life ???
Doesn't really matter if it upsets "Homeland Security"...
One comment made me think - oh wait, will the U.S. end up investigating those who follow a particular faith and make some kind of legal action to say, "so-so' is only good as a tax shelter... but you can't call that person family."
--- In the end, I realize that if you have a bunch of hungry souls who want to go eat and enjoy the day... what's stopping that ?!!
So yeah, in the end - is my Patriotism in Question, because I believe in the message that everyone does have a place at the buffet table... no exceptions.
Obama is right... know those who are very different and learn something.
