Ideology...& Me!

Personally I believe in many different things, like human rights. I am an advocate for the LGBTQ all over, but especially in my church and synod. I truly can't stand it when people are made fun of, for what the look like or who they are. I feel that everyone is beautiful if you look deep enough. I feel everybody deserves happiness, but I don't think that many people achieve the happiness they deserve. I will go great lengths to make anyone feel welcome anywhere I go. No matter where your from or any of your preferences, because I know what it's like to be judged. I have many more ideals but if I were to list them all you would get really bored and stop reading this. So this is all for now and if you want to know more just ask!

Pakistan && Che Guevara

Some similarities between them is the refuse help. They both want to be independent. They are both being very secretive. Some differences are that the Pakistani's don't like us even though we are trying to help them and Che was loved for "helping" strangers.

Che's Mission Statement

"It is a SO-CIA-LIST revolution. Everyone is a fierce soldier in the revolution. Our designated enemy is Imperialism." That would be his mission statement if he had one. He would use that to guide everything he did.

Bishop Mark S. Hanson

Bishop Hanson is the presiding bishop of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. In August 2001, he was elected by the Churchwide Assembly to be the presiding bishop of the ELCA. Before being elected as the presiding bishop, he served as the bishop of the St. Paul Area Synod (3H) and he was elected to serve a second term that same year. Bishop Hanson was born in Minneapolis on December 2, 1946. He graduated from Augsburg College with a Bachlor's degree in Sociology. He then went to the Union Theological Seminary in NYC and recived a Master of Divinity degree. He was elected in 2003 as the president of the Lutheran World Federation, a position he holds concurrently with his position as presiding bishop of the ELCA. Bishop Hanson has the opportunity to speak with Lutherans throughout the world about the social, economic, and political injustices that we, the people of God, are called to confront. He is the author of, Faithful Yet Changing, the Church in Challenging Times and Faithful and Courageous, Christians in Unsettling Times, which are both published by Augsburg Fortress, Publishers. Him and his wife, Agrimson have six children. He is better known as grandpop to two grandkids.

The Real Ernesto Che Guevara...

I would cover his early life and who he became. I would ask why and how he got to be the person he is. I would focus on the end of his life and legacy, so people would understand who is and what he had done. I would try to give both sides equally; the good and the bad about Che.

Can anyone say road trip?!

I have taken a road trip to Canada a few times as a child. Road trips back then were fun but I always got antsy. I never really liked sitting in the car for more than two hours. A plus about the road trips I have been on were the were I always enjoyed looking forward to going places. While in Canada we saw Niagara Falls. I think Canada is a great place to visit. It is a very pretty country. The one place I would really love to visit is Europe, especially England so I can visit friends and family while I am there.

Do Now February 3, 2009


I usually judge books by how many pages and artwork on the cover. The book that caught my attention recently was Daddy’s Little Girl by Mary Higgins Clark. On the cover of this book is a gold locket on a leaf with droplets of blood. It is about a girl named Ellie whose testimony puts Rob Westerfield in jail. The words on the cover about the book reached out to me. However, it wasn’t the covers artwork or how many pages that caught my eye. The title reached out and grabbed me (because I am was definitely a daddy’s girl and still am even though my dad died and my mom got remarried).

Glen Beck: Che Guevara- 40 Years Later

I have to agree with Glen Beck especially when he asks "How did Che become so romantic?" and then follows up by saying how Che is idolized and how we don't really know what we are wearing and who he is. Che became a counterculture symbol worldwide. Humberto Fontova, author of Exposing the Real Che Guevara: and the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him, states, "WESTERN MEDIA that bought into Castro’s legend of the man who he deliberately sent to his death. The legend only started after Che Guevara was safely sleeping with the fishes " I feel that that is true we idolize the ones who we know nothing about and then come to find Che was a killer. He was the chief executioner and chief jailer.


Beck gets his point across by making jokes about what he is talking about. I think he does this to get peoples attention and to get his point across.
