Some Things I believe.

I was having a discussion with my dad the other day about sticking up for what we believe in. I agree that we should be bold in our belief... but also be open minded enough to hear what others have to say about theirs. I have been wrong many times, and I am not naive to think I have this world.. this faith.. figured out.
I decided to list things I believe in.. of course, some minor issues may be subject to change.. because there is much more gray area than black and white..
