Hurray for marriage!

Today I wasn't sure what I would blog about:
An uneventful walk with Raven, interrupted by
my daughter's phone call informing me I forgot to give her money for pictures--today is picture day
Inga's relatively dry run/walk on Saturday
her sore muscles today along with a bad cold
Mark's raking leaves in the front yard--using an unusual method of his head as a sort of shovel while he held the bag open with both arms and knelt in the pile to put the leaves in ....
Luke's mounting stuff of graduation materials and college information items.....

Or, something really important like:
This week is marriage protection week, with the US President's mandate, and several pro-family organizations have come together to encourage Americans to call, e-mail or fax their representatives and senators to urge them to support a the Federal Marriage Amendment. In these past few months, traditional marriage has suffered a severe blow:

Sodomy is not a consitutionally protected right in the US
Gay marriages have constitutional protection in Canada
An openly gay bishop was approved for his leadership position in the Episcopal church (although he had left his wife and children for his male lover)

We who stand up for traditional marriage are not bigoted or homophobics. We have friends and in even family members who are gay. We love them although we disagree with them. What we oppose is not gay people, but the homosexual agenda which is trying to destroy traditional marriage, and thus unravel the foundation of the home and ultimately our society and our country.

US citizens, join me in contacting your congress people to encourage them to support the Federal Marriage Amendment. Pray for strong marriages and homes. Pray for those who have been harmed by divorce, including those who are divorced. Thank God for Christian leaders who are standing up to support the family.

For more information, check out Focus on the Family's website, or other pro-family organizations.

Till next time,
