Already cover the heavens.
I just got back from voting. I had thought about going first thing this morning to avoid the lines, but I’m not exactly a morning person. I got there about a quarter after 10. Which was perfect. They said they had a huge line first thing in the morning, all the people voting before work. And I got there before all the people trying to do it on their lunch break too. The longest part of voting was filling in all the stupid little circles. That took twice as long as actually getting my ballot.
But I filled in all the circles. I did my part. My vote has been counted.
Tonight I’ll watch the results and pray that heaven continues to cover this nation with its blessings.

Darn all those people going before work! Oh wait. That was me.
It has been interesting to watch the news cover the results, especially on California’s proposition 8, Arizona’s proposition 102, and Florida’s proposition 2. CNN wouldn’t even call California’s results last night, indicating up till midnight even that it was too close to call. Today they are saying it passed, but that is probably the result of pressure from the other news agencies who called the result before the evening news yesterday.
And what are the news agencies calling these propositions? They’ve twisted them to their own liberal agendas. Instead of calling them what they were, propositions to define marriage, they are calling them gay marriage bans. Look carefully at the wording of each proposition. Nowhere in them does it mention anything about homosexuality or banning anything. They all simply define what a marriage is. No banning, not even any “overturning” as the New York Times referred to them.
The presidential election was interesting, but it was these issues that I was watching closely. I’m glad there are still those with morals in our society. I pray they remain in the voting majority.
“No banning, not even any “overturning” as the New York Times referred to them.”
I can’t speak to the other states, but as for California this isn’t technically true. The California referendum changes the language of the California constitution and thus overturns the May 15th decision of the California Supreme Court “legalizing” gay marriage.
“Ban” is a little strong as a word choice, but “overturn” at least is California’s case is an accurate way of describing it.
Scott – the California Supreme Court overturned the voice of the people earlier this year. The voice of the people only turned it back.
The original law involved here was set forth before the creation of the world. It is called the Law of Chastity. And it has no exceptions for any person, no matter how they may feel.
The laws being written by governments and voted on by the people in this day are only small parts of that grand eternal law.
No matter what the world may say, I hope to always find myself on the side of the original Lawmaker.
His laws are not open for debate.
