In case you missed them, below are our top blog posts from last week:

Rev. Dr. Dolores E. Littleton writes, "My dear Community, we need to talk. We can talk about civility, respect, honor and even compassion- for all of these values are at risk. My heart aches for how I sometimes see people treating others in the times of their deepest grief and sorrow. I am referring to something that happened this past week – and unfortunately this week was not the first time." Read about a disturbing event she is referring to.

"The United States is experiencing an ever growing rate of the super aggressive Asian tiger mosquito. They seek blood and bite all day long," writes Sarah Slomeana.

Blogger Elizabeth Chance writes, "Negativity is all around us, and I find that negativity loves company. It can’t be alone...it wants to share and get bigger! The definition of negative is (I chose one out of the five listed on Dictionary.com) the absence of distinguishing or marked qualities or features; lacking positive attributes (opposed to positive ). When a negative thought runs through your head, take a step back and realize that it is just a thought,  a feeling! Feelings are not real, they are not facts. You can change your feelings about one thing or the other. Such as, when you swear to not do something and you do it! Change your thinking!!!"

Blogger Bob Gasparro writes about the U.S. Supreme Court striking down DOMA in a 5-4 decision.
