Great Question
S.E. Cupp asked a great question on Red Eye, one of my fave shows ever, asked a great question: Why is it that the violent shootings that have been going on in this country always happen in gun-free zones (e.g. schools) and not in places where there are so-called violent crazies like NRA conventions? Hmm…….
“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.”
—NIV Jeremiah 31: 3
“We cannot worship the suffering God today and ignore him tomorrow. We cannot eat and drink the body and blood of the passionate and compassionate God today, and then refuse to live passionately and compassionately tomorrow. If we say or sing, as we so often do, ‘Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit’, we thereby commit ourselves, in love, to the work of making his love known to the world that still stands so sorely in need of it. This is not the god the world wants. This is the God the world needs.”

Natalie Portman!
She just won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama and gave the best/funniest/sweetest speech! I’m so happy for her! A fiancee, a baby on the way, and now a very deserved Golden Globe! Such a talented, smart, beautiful, and wonderful actress!
My Top 5 Favorite TV Couples
1. Lana and Clark- Smallville
I seriously do not care that in the comic books Clark ends up with Lois instead of Lana, I truly believe these two belong together and that Lana is by far his soul mate. I still even foolishly hope that the creators will somehow find a way to have the show end with them together.
2. Lorelai and Luke- Gilmore Girls
Waiting for these two to finally realize that they were soul mates was pure agony and took almost five years. But it was worth it in the end. Of course, I’m trying to forget how Lorelai screwed up things and the producers screwed us all with the arrival of April. But at least they ended up together in the end. At least we think so.
3. Naevia and Crixus- Spartacus: Blood and Sand
This is my newest favorite couple after I started watching this great show and quickly fell in love with these two. Their story is the epitome of true, forbidden love and it was agonizing to see them be torn apart. Fingers crossed for these two because their love is so pure and beautiful it’s tear-jerking.
4. Sookie and Eric- True Blood
Technically they are not a couple yet but if the show stays faithful to the books (and it should) we will finally see them together. The creators have been teasing us with dreams and fantasies, but I think this upcoming season will finally be the season where they get together! No one is better for Sookie than Eric. Period.
5. Kate and Sawyer- Lost
I am still royally pissed that these two did not end up together, so we are not going to talk about that. These two tortured souls were PERFECT for each other and I seriously could have lived with everybody else dying (especially Jack who is a pussy) if it meant these two could be together. Dramatic? Maybe
