2. If you say you are a Christian, you need to act like it. You are never going to be perfect and you will make mistakes, but don’t be on your high-horse talking about God one moment and the next minute cussing people out and mistreating them. That’s disrespectful to other Christians who are doing their best to live in Christ and love people, and it throws mud on the face of Christ.
3. Okay. Middle-aged, balding white males should never - and I mean never - have dreadlocks, especially dreadlocks down to your butt.
4. Priorities, Priorities. This is not meant towards all parents, but just a choice ignorant few out there. Here’s an example: Let’s say I’m single and have two kids, with some money put away. We live in a small place which is definitely in need of an upgrade. The kids are old enough to get involved in sports, or maybe need tutors to help them with school. The kids haven’t been to a dentist in years, and one of them needs braces by the looks of their teeth. School is drawing near and they need new clothes. Which of these should I do with some extra money I’ve saved, and in what order?
A. Get the kid braces.
B. Get the kids in soccer, baseball, swimming, etc.
C. Get new clothes for the kids for the school year.
D. Get a tutor for the kid that struggles in school.
E. Get a bigger place that suits the family better.
F. Get myself Botox.
Anyone here think Botox is the first choice? I may not be a parent yet, but I still know that your kids and their needs always - let me say this again, ALWAYS - come first. You are their provider and you are the one that should be meeting their needs. No one else should be responsible for making sure your kids’ needs are met. God gave these kids to you, and to you alone, to raise them up and take care of them. So do it. There is no “I got botox because I deserve it” when your kids’ needs are not met.
5. There are numerous people out there who live their lives with illness and they still find a way not to mistreat other people. Just because you are sick, that does not mean that you have license to disrespect other people, even if you believe they’ve disrespected you. The Golden Rule still applies.
6. It might not be a good idea for a woman to go to a job interview dressed in a rather short pink party dress. I’m thinking that that won’t be seen as proper.
These are all instances I’ve seen in the past few days. I don’t mean to embarrass anyone or call anyone out specifically. I just need to vent. Some of it is just funny to me, and some of it is pretty serious. All of us are human and we all make mistakes. I am no judge, that’s for sure, I just needed to vent a little.

Two things:
First, I want to apologize to anyone who feels like I may have been judging them as part of my rant. That was not my intent. My intent was just to vent about certain things I was seeing. I know I’m not perfect. I’ve made my own m...istakes and I understand that someone could point their finger at me and say, “Well, you did this, and you did that.” They are probably right. I wish that wasn’t the case, but hey.
Second, the priorities rant was a made-up comment meant to make a point that we should be prioritizing our children’s needs. You could have interchanged college funds for dental needs, music lessons for tutoring needs, or social needs for any of the things listed. The points used in my comment were meant only to state that we have a responsibility to ensure that our children's needs for the present and future are met before we do anything that is not even a need for ourselves. I remember my mom walking around with holes in her shoes to ensure that we had clothes. I’ve never forgotten that. However, if this comment, or any of my comments, really gets you upset, even though I named no one specifically, you might want to take a look at yourself, because there might be something there worth considering.
