Visitor vs. Tourist

So Friday on the 12 of October I arrived in to NYC. Once I got out of Penn Station I had this feeling that I never left and that I could go anywhere I want without any help at all.  I came back and I felt like I could just go anywhere because I still remembered where the subway lines went or what streets take me where.  

Over these past couple of days I have been doing normal things like, I went shopping at Fishes Eddy, went to a few stores, went to church, and went to Starbucks to do homework.  I felt like I was doing things that I had did two years ago, but this time I did not permanently live in NYC and I was no longer a student at King's.  

There is a small difference between tourist and visitor. When I came here as a tourist, I wanted to go to all the sites and see what made New York what it was.  However, this time all I wanted to do is hang out with my friends and go and do things we did when I lived here.

I am still in NYC right now till tomorrow.  I will be posting another post tomorrow or Wednesday!!

Abortion

Abortion, it seems to become an issue in every election.  Well, I am sick of it and truly I am sick of it.  I personally do not support abortion, but what gives me the right to tell someone what to do with their body.  If complications occur during or after the abortion, then that is something that they will have to temporarily live with or permanently live with for the rest of their lives.  

I know that my Christian friends are going to hate me for saying this and claim that I am not a real Christian, but in reality it is not my right to tell them how they want to deal with their body.  Now if I get engaged in a debate about abortion I will let them know how I feel and I will let them explain to me how they feel about it.  However, I feel that the abortion argument is dead and we do have laws that would explain all the consequences and when it is not allowed to have an abortion and so forth.  

I get so sick of it being brought up and I figure this that God will be the judge.  Americans need to understand that we are going to disagree and we live in a nation where we are allowed to have different view points.  If you can't live with that you picked the wrong nation to live in.  America is divided and both sides need to start making concessions or we are going to be in a stalemate.

Americans and American government leaders wake up and realize that both sides need to compromise.  We live in a nation where one side of the spectrum is going to win or lose all.  Start making compromises or the nation will deteriorate.
