I've never understood how blind and hypocritical religious leaders can be and it's not just Catholics. <br /><br />The God I believe in believes <br />love has no boundaries. Love is love and it doesn't matter who's doing the loving, as long they love, which reminds of my favorite Rod McKuen quote: <br /><br />"It doesn't matter who you love, or how you love, but that you love."<br /><br />I'm glad you blew the word limit for this one and I hope others read it...Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995684156785464334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-6281329269415057362014-05-15T11:10:05.774-04:002014-05-15T11:10:05.774-04:00Perfect.Perfect.Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-5169192729837876552014-05-15T10:21:05.467-04:002014-05-15T10:21:05.467-04:00Nailed it.
