Aftermath

There are times when I look at my life and the choices I make and I am amazed. Recently our church invited us to stand for a moral issue. To define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Marriage is here to protect the family. I remember when I was single and I was thinking about my future. I decided that marriage was important to me. I wanted to find someone who would treat me well and be a good father. Someone whom I could have a family with. I thought that this was normal but I am beginning to believe that it is not.
I recently voted for this union to be written in the state constitution. I was joined by friends and family in both Tucson and in Ventura, CA. However, the difference is when I went to church Sunday. it was business as usual. However some of my friends in California went to church Sunday and had to drive through protesters. I have also been seeing glimpses of our Temple in CA on the news with protesters. People saying our church gave mony to this prop. But our church never gives money to political organizations. Individulas of our church and other chritsian religions donated money and time to make this happen. I am sure there are plenty of people who doneated money and time to the organizations trying not to allow this to go though.
Basicly I sad when people acuse our religion as being hatful while they themselves are demonstrating and doing hateful things to people who are quietly doing what they feel is moraly right. I know that many people are being abused and vicomized by making this decision to stand up for marriage. I am greatful for all the people who made these propositions go though. I am greatful that my marriage means something. That my family means something.

I would like to share a article written by an poice ditective in LA who witnessed the protests first hand.
