PEACE TRAIN

"Now I've been crying lately,
thinking about the world as it is
Why must we go on hating,
why can't we live in bliss

Cause out on the edge of darkness,
there rides a peace train
Oh peace train take this country,
come take me home again "

peace is around the corner, and in reach.
we ALL need to do our part.
ITS POSSIABLE =)

I'd give anything in the world, to have my friends back.

So, yesterday two of my friends from alberta were in a car accident and one died, the other put in a coma. Ive never felt so alone and broken. Ive had losses before but this one really made me hit the wall. I keep being told that some day i will gain something from this, but i have yet to receive anything. I just want to know why.
I love you Jon, and Connor please pull through.

PEACE LIST =)

1. Were there any differences in the amount of information you were able to fill in on each list? I could definitely fill out every single war question, but only three about peace. This shows that war is more promoted than peace.

2. How do you think these messages about violence influence our everyday actions? What do your responses reflect about our culture? It shows that war is more broadcasted than peace. It makes people think that problems can be solved with confrontation and war. It shows how little we understand as a culture.

3. Are we a naturally violent society? I wouldn’t say we are naturally violent but violence is defiantly promoted a lot more than peace and is seen in everything. Movies, video games and the news sell war and it effects us because we see it as not a huge problem.

QUEST!

so a couple of the my friends from Quest were here today, Cam, Ryan and Jodie talked about there experience in Haiti and i was exremely touched to hear about it. It really is a shame to hear about the the earthquake. Hearing about it from someone who is close to me and seeing there change from it really makes me want to get out there and help others.
