I have to say, in all of the election stuff, I am most pleased to see that Amendment 2 passed. Defining that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. It says that we have stated that we want to define the meaning of the word marriage, not liberal judges, not schools wanting to teach our children what the world wants to hear.
Marriage was God's idea. Genesis 2:15-25 God made a perfect world. Vs. 24 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and they will become one flesh".
God expects several things out of a marriage:
to help us live holy lives before God
to help us overcome our selfishness by applying the relationship of Christ to the Church.
to help us become all that we can be in the eyes of God
marriage is the way to produce children and enjoy another in the love process
marriage is to be taken seriously (Ephesians 5:22-31, Mark 10:9)
We need to be actively seeking Gods will daily. We need to be on our knees praying for the sanctity of marriage. The world sees it as something easily discarded or not to be taken seriously. God's word tells us differently. I pray that we all will live a life of grace and that we continue to teach what God's word says to the youth coming up. So that they can have long fulfilling love lives and inherit the kingdom of God.

Amen. I feel a great relief to have some morality left in the state. Of course, passing in California was a bigger surprise. Now we have to stand strong so the "new" government doesn't overrule OUR decision.
