Freecycle

ayaneva suggested Freecycle to me the other day and I'm so glad she did!

It's a wonderful website where you offer things you don't want or need anymore to people who could really use them! Or if you really need something, like a computer or vcr, post it on there and see if someone else could help!

It's all about keeping things that could still be useful out of landfills...an admirable goal. It's divided into local groups so there's no shipping, just meeting whoever at a public place to exchange the goods.

Fic Warnings

Since the Mod post on EpicProp., I've been wondering, have my story warnings been acceptable?

Do I need to change anything?

I'm a bit old-school. I remember back, like ten years ago, when warnings consisted of the pairing, like Krycek/Skinner or the rating and that was all. Most people didn't even bother with the label slash back then.

Congrats Obama!!!

It's awesome to win on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King, Jr winning the same award. May you live up to that historic legacy.

The Affirmation Declaration

The Affirmation Declaration is a statement that expresses the convictions of Christians all over the world. It was written in response to the now famous Manhattan Declaration, to correct egregious errors contained in the document, errors that have been preached in the pulpits of many local churches for far too long.

With the growing notoriety and support for the Manhattan Declaration, our Affirmation Declaration reflects an urgent need to respond to the portion of the Manhattan Declaration dealing with issues related to sexual orientation—specifically, homosexuality and same-sex marriage. We strongly disagree with the contention that same-sex attractions and the oft-resulting romantic activities are immoral.

Because of the large number of people affected by this serious issue one way or the other, we felt it expedient to respond formally, both by submitting our Declaration to the drafters of the Manhattan Declaration, as well as by releasing our Declaration to the public, allowing Christians to show their support for love and affirmation, just as so many have shown their support for the propagation of false doctrines of oppression and inequality against the GLBTI (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex) community.

We also desire to let the world know that not all Christians are locked in what we believe to be an ancient worldview regarding homosexuality. We want to give people hope—hope to know that God loves them just as they are; hope to know that their gay loved ones are not destined for Hell; hope to know that although some Christian churches will never accept them or their same-sex unions, a great many will.

May the signatures we garner serve as a fire that will never burn out, lighting the way through the darkness of bad theology, and setting Christ's Church back on the right track as it relates to matters of sexual and gender orientation, and gender identity.

I've never heard of the Manhattan Declaration but I HATE how being Christian has become synonymous with negative thinking to some and the idea of a Liberal Christian is heresy to others...if only this could mend at least some of the rifts. Jesus preached love. PERIOD.
