Now, I am not highly political, which may surprise you. Most reformers are about real political change but we are not to that place on reformation road yet. Just not well educated in politics to know enough. But it easy enough to just CARE about it and see the wrong in some things. Like the above.
I am not big on the gay issue, but it is still wrong and I know it. It's just not my personal passion to come up against. It's sin like you and I commit everyday. Theirs is no different than ours. This is an issue that has served us well in teaching the girls to hate the sin, love the sinner. Believe it or not, when we had the devil run cable in our home still, lol, we loved Ellen and I was able to teach them that it was OK and RIGHT to love her and think she was great all the while seeing her sin and acknowledging it. (It is never flaunted or discussed on her show, ever that we have seen or I would not have let them watch it) They felt more SORRY for her than anything else. I think we must embrace the sinner more. Just because we hide ours better doesn't mean we are any better.

But the dissolution of marriage by giving rights to domestic partners? That is a no-no we all should be concerned about.Marriage is my second passion right up behind proper parenting. I am on a proper parenting freak out right now after I took the girls to the Splash Park AGAINST my better judgement where a mean 11 year old boy actually hit Kate in the face and told her to get of his way. What winners those parents must be. Yeah, "Don't tell me what kind of Christian ( or even just person!) you are, I can see perfectly well what kind you are by your kids." I have got to find out who said that, it is so powerful. Talk about digressing, sheesh. Sorry.

But anyway, I find it hard to get on the political train when I know that:
~God has placed the authorities,
~we are not meant to, nor have we been promised,
~ and biblically we are not going to have peace or get "better". At least not at this point in the juncture. (Like praying for peace in Jerusalem, just bad theology!)

We are on the way down and out from the earth and for the Christian, UP to heaven and God has not given me the job to try to change the political world which is likely where the end time prophecies will take place, my job is love, nurture, and educate my family.

And the proverbial chips? Well, so be it.
