As believers in Jesus Christ, many of us have hailed the decision of the California Supreme Court to uphold the state’s ban on gay marriage. It became law after a majority vote of the people of California, and I personally was pleasantly surprised to see the court uphold a statute that clearly had constitutional grounds. As is often the case, the victory appears short-lived. Gay leaders say they plan to put a new measure on next year’s ballot to overturn the ban. This reminds me of my home state of Missouri. Year after year Missouri voters would vote on new forms of riverboat gambling, and year after year the voters would say no. Every time the casinos lost, they simply tried again. And when they finally won the vote simply by wearing down the opposition’s willingness to fight anymore, it was a done deal. Those against gambling didn’t attempt another ballot measure, but instead gave up.

I ran across an interesting article on foxnews website yesterday. Here is the link to the full article. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/05/22/georgia-republican-wants-obama-make-year-bible/

Like many Christians, I was pleased to hear the report the day after the Miss USA pageant about the honest answer of Miss California, Carrie Prejean. She stated a simple belief regarding the institution of marriage being between one man and one woman. Honestly, I didn’t think much more of it than that. It was nice to see a young person state their beliefs very publicly and to seemingly be unashamed of it. However, within a few days there was a bit of Carrie Prejean mania going on. Suddenly she was on the morning talk shows and becoming a voice for the issue of marriage. Pro-family groups were calling, all hoping for an opportunity to get her onboard with their cause. Focus on the Family scheduled a broadcast with her, and even Liberty University had her stop by to talk in front of students. They didn’t know much about her as a person or a Christian (she does go to a Christian college), just that she had given one good answer.

I know that you are all tired of hearing about the swine flu at this point. It seems like another news story that is negative has dominated the news recently. We have had the economic crisis and now the swine flu. It is interesting some of the reactions people have had. Some are wearing mask, some churches have stopped shaking hands, serving coffee and taking other precautions. Certainly there is an overreaction to this problem.
