Gay: yeah or neah

So today was election day. This is good,right? I studied up on what was on the ballet, made some somewhat informed decisions and I went to the polls. I voted for the amendment. But later as I was thinking about it more and recounting a conversation I had with my pastor, I really wished I would have left it blank. Why? You ask... Well as I watched the news and saw 'us' and 'them' gathering in to different places I just cried. It felt so wrong. It felt like this was not about what it seemed to be about. Satan is so sneaky. Marriage is good,yes! But love is the base for all that we do and are and although we think we are right sometimes we are fighting the wrong battle. Today's election was not about the sanctity of marriage. It was about fear. If we are concerned with marriage and keeping it sacred and what is best for our children then lets battle no fault divorce. If we want to make a difference in families why not create ways for couples to receive free counseling both before marriage and during a conflict. It is our duty as Christians (those of you who are) to pray and fight the battles that God leads you to. Some said that today's vote was a victory for God.... Was it? I don't know, maybe, but if so it was tiny. There are better battles to be in. We must never forget that love is always the HIGH road.

Well that was just some thoughts as I end my day. Maybe now I can sleep.

I thought the same thing. Glad to know I'm not alone in my thoughts of "right" and "wrong" and having to filter in through Jesus' love. Things come out so different when you look at it through His prespective...

God also gives us the freedom of choice in all things...who are we to deny homosexuals a choice in marriage?
