Facts of Love

By Anna Von Reitz

A few months ago a friend announced he was engaged.  He was so happy!  He smiled with every cell.  I was happy for him.  

Yesterday, I had cause to talk to him again and found him in despair.  

He had had some fairly serious (but far from "despair" meriting) financial set-backs and vexations related to housing issues for himself and his fiancee.  As a result, she decided that he wasn't a good enough provider for her and she went looking for another mate, all without telling him.   

She was, apparently, keeping him on a string in case her new business deal fell through.  And in the meantime she gave him Hell for not being rich enough, young enough, strong enough, blah, blah, blah.   

I just shook my head.

It's Spring. Look at the Garden....

By Anna Von Reitz

When you look outside your window at the magnificent Creation beyond, what do you see?

Just one kind of flower?

Just one kind of tree?

One species of insect?

How many kinds of fish in the sea?

Our Creator loves diversity. He loves all the differences.

Isn't it silly to suppose that He values a violet less than a rose?

What is this craziness that people have, when they think and apparently believe, that one man is less than another because his skin is black?

Or think that a woman is less than man?

Or that the old are not as good as the young?

Apologists

By Anna Von Reitz

I am sitting at my desk in tears.  I have been laughing until it hurts.  The same people who were calling me a "Vatican Agent" last week are calling me a "Muslim Apologist" now.  How droll! 

I am an apologist.  My Master was an apologist, too: "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do." 

Under the circumstance, apologizing to and for everyone--including myself--- seems like a uniquely appropriate thing to do. 

I apologize for all those who have been lied to, and so, have been manipulated and misled and committed terrible sins and crimes as a result.  I apologize for all those who have been forced by circumstance and coercion to do things they didn't want to do.  I apologize for those who are simply ignorant, who don't know that what they are saying, doing, or thinking is evil.  I apologize for us all, including myself.
