I just read this and am still in shock at the stupidity and ignorance of these people….

Westboro Baptist Church, (not affiliated with any national Baptist organization) the anti-Gay protesting group that call themselves a church from Topeka, Kansas is planning on picketing the funerals of the VA Tech victims. This group is known for picketing our fallen soldiers funerals, and now are reaching an even more disgusting low.

Their reason they stated was that shooter Cho Seung-hui was carrying out God’s wishes by punishing the victims who weren’t Christian. Excuse me??

“The evidence is they were not Christian. God does not do that to his servants,” WBC member Shirley Phelps-Roper

I’d like to know what God they are serving? It’s not the same one I know! This group is beyond disgusting, they are vile. All that they do is spill hate and they do it when people are vulnerable and hurting. Have they ever heard that God is love. A pastor friend of mine mentioned that he wished he was in Virginia instead of Hawaii where he lives, because he’d organize as many churches to gather at all the funerals to buffer those protesters out with songs of praise. I have to believe that good will conquer over evil and these hateful people will not prevail.

1. It’s been quite a week here at the “Garden!” Celebrating two years of blogging this week! My how time fly’s!

2. In the two years I have been blogging I have learned that there are some really cool people around the world! Yeah, I’m talking about you!

3. Something else I have learned in the past two years….blogging is very addictive!!

4. We also found out this week that we will be moving back to Texas! Hubby has accepted a promotion with his company, so we will be going back to the Lone Star State!

5. Did I ever mention that I hate moving??

6. I know it’s a necessary thing, but man it’s a pain! Thank heaven for company moves!

7. Looking for a new house can be fun but can be daunting too. We receive a couple house-hunting trips via the company, but we are doing some looking on our own right now on the net. I know what I want, now if we can just find it!!

8. The weather here has been crazy, warm then freezing, then raining cats and dogs then back to spring like weather. My poor flowers I planted are not doing so well. Some have just died. Others are going to make, I think. Makes me sad.

9. Because the rainy weather has been off and on like it has, it’s really played with my migraines. I’m wondering when we are back in Texas if they will be better or not….we shall see.

10. I found one of my old schoolmates on MySpace last night, he’s an author of several books! Thought that was neat. I ordered a couple of his books from Amazon today. I read the reviews and he writes about growing up on the South Side of Chicago, in the 70’s…thought I’d like to see what he has to say about that, seeing I was there myself back then!

11. Speaking of MySpace, do any of you have one?

12. I thought MySpace was just a kid thing, but it’s not….anymore. I started mine to keep on eye on my silly daughter, now I have actually found former classmates and friends through it! Small world.

13. And last, I’d like to say my thoughts and prayers are with all the families and friends of Virginia Tech. What a horrible, senseless, evil thing one human can do against another. May God give peace to these young men and women as they deal with this tragedy.
