My thoughts...

So one day left of crazy pre-election stuff! I can't wait for this to all be over. I must say I'm scared at what the possible outcome will be, but can't wait for it to be over. This morning as I was cleaning and I always listen to my favorite country station. Every commercial break there was at least 2 political ads maybe more. Yuck!!! I stumbled on to a blog while surfing the other day, and I shared in the woman's thoughts regarding Prop 8 in CA. So I decided to take a quick moment to share this perspective.

Here is what I believe:

I believe the prophet of our church gets his direction from the Lord.
I believe the Lord cares about this moral issue for many reasons unknown to us today.
When the prophet speaks, I intend to listen and obey.
I understand people don’t comprehend my faith in these things.
My faith is not the only reason I am voting for Prop 102.
I believe you cannot change a definition of a word simply because that word doesn’t fit your needs.
I am a heterosexual. Others are called homosexual. They are different words because they describe different relationships.
I am married. Marriage is the word that describes my union.
A civil union is the name that describes a homosexual partnership. They are different words because they are DIFFERENT.
I do not discriminate.
I believe everyone is deserving of the same freedoms and rights in this country.
Prop 102 does not take away rights. If Prop 102 doesn’t pass, my religious rights will be compromised.
