This article really ministered to my heart. It is easy to get angry about the challenge. I applaud the believing and peaceful prayer evident in this effort. It is very Godly.

I do want to add that in the public eye, and in the minds of the young especially, the relationship of marriage might be tarnished by these actions of the Supreme Court. However, it is also true that the government of California is harmed because it has failed to guarantee 'the right to join in marriage.' Our marriage licenses say "Party A" and "Party B" not "husband" and "wife." This is not just odd wording. The very core of the Court's finding redefines marriage out of California law. Since same sex couples cannot really get married, there can no longer be marriage. Its really hard to tell what the Court now calls marriage, but the general effect will be to use the force of government to force people to tell lies. Certainly, all government employees will have to say that folks who are not married are married. Policemen will have to lie. Firemen will have to tell lies. Teachers will have to tell lies to little children.
