Great GIFs

I remember SNL making fun of Dikembe Mutombo when I was a teen. He's still making money. Boss

View from the ISS at Night - By Knate Myers

I wanted to share this video again.  As I was watching the screen, my mind automatically accepted it as if I were watching a movie. The CGI is amazing. They made it look so real, so perfect. Then I remembered, I was watching actual video and not a studio film. I felt the same way I did the first time I watched this video. Amazed. All I could say is "God.  God.          ". I couldn't say anything else. I was mesmerized.  As my mind centered itself, I started to wonder why we have so many difficulties accepting differences.  No matter how widely varied our convictions are, the basis of religion still comes down to one simple, shared belief. A supreme being. A God. One God. He is known by many names, and is praised in many different ways. But we all share the most important belief. God. Christian, Mormon, Catholic, Jew, Rastafari, Islam, Baha’i, Jehovah's Witness, Sikh. Yoruba, Santeria, Voodoo - We all share the same belief that there is one God (or Universal Supreme Being). Many believe in Jesus as well. Beyond that, hundreds to thousands of years of varying beliefs may have changed, but we all still belief in monotheism. Regardless of the name by which you call Him, He answers all the same. Focus on that, and let God (Vishnu, Waheguru, Brahma, YHWH, Jehova, Allah, Olódùmarè, Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh - I Am that I Am) judge anything beyond that. When we look up we all see the same sky, and when looking down on ourselves from above all you see is one beautiful round Earth.

I have a huge amount of respect for Mitt Romney. While our beliefs and opinions may differ, your desire to make this country better is inarguable. Two extremely different political parties wanted the approval of Americans to do the exact same thing - lead the country they passionately love.
To have the courage to stand in front of the world and say "This is the greatest country in the world, and this is how I intend to make it even greater", to stand up and say "These are my beliefs, these are my convictions", to integrity to let billions question your views, that is an amazing quality. Both parties have areas of expertise that combined have made us who we are today, and will guide us going forward. We have cast our votes and made our voices be heard. We decided who would be the best person to run our country based on some polar opposite beliefs. That is now behind us and we can concentrate on those beliefs we share, and find a middle ground where we can quietly and intelligently express our opinions. This is where we will find solutions to our issues. This is the point where we recognize it's our differences that make us so strong. Our talents and ambitions span the spectrum of possibility. But it's the ability to allow other people their possibilities that makes us the UNITED States of America. Instead of focusing on what is wrong, we must continue forward and make change. The problems have been pointed out. Now we must stop talking and start doing. Stand up and fight for what is right. Your rights. Our rights. Stand up for those who can't stand up for themselves. Stand up for what is right, even if you have to stand alone. This is the time to be heard and make change begin. Stand up for something. Just stand.
