I saw a really neat comment today posted on the Ref 71 site of FB. A woman posted "I voted yes because my marraige is not threatened by a lesbian taking me away from my husband". I could only agree. But, to me, it really is more that Government has no business creating artificial standards that discriminate. If churches want to that is their perogative. I personally prefer to attend a church that is open and affirming, but I really believe in "to each his own" provided people don't try to legislate my beliefs.
I know there are some people who feel that their religion is the base for their anti-gay feelings, and there are people who feel like any deviation from "normal" is wrong. I know that the loving Spirit, God of all Names, accepts everyone for what they contribute and who they love, that all paths lead to God/Spirit and that we are better doing good than finding fault.
That said, the theme song for Biggest Loser is "What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud", which applies to so much to me, besides working out and eating right (mostly).
Where have I said the right thing, eased some discomfort, remembered to praise, corrected gracefully, taken the extra step?
How have I made someone's day better?
What have I approached with optimism for the opportunites that might be hidden in the problem?
What will I record on my gratitude list at the end of the day?
What have I done today to make me feel proud?
Hmm - mostly questions today....
