Lessons I learn

As I mentioned in my last post, of some time ago, I am sorry, but not surprised that when given a referendem the concep of gay marraige loses.  And, if all civil liberties were held the same way, women would not vote, and my African American brother would not vote, let alone be my President.  Of that last item, I am so blessed to have seen in my lifetime.

But to this marriage mess.  It truly does fall under business law.  So, it seems my idea, which others have certainly thought and expressed more fluently than I.  To me, it is simple and hurts no one.  We either have a federal law or amendment, which as of a given date, with all those in what is called a marriage grand fathered in, which calls for any two, of age, adults who want to spend their lives together, have what can be called a civil union.  It would hold all of the same rights as does what we now call marriage, which is a religious pact.  After, before, or never, the couple could then hold a spiritual ceremony, usually called marriage.  No one’s faith is trampled on, no one should think that marriage is in trouble, lest they feel their church is in trouble.

Ahh, it sounds so simple.  But, the world is full of those who don’t want to learn or ask questions.  The world is too full of people who want to blame others for their troubles.  That is almost natural, but it shouldn’t be.  If true faith is alive within one, then blaming others tarnishes our soul, for we don’t speak the truth.  If our goal is to spread fear by blaming some group, we lose on many counts.  The biggest is the chance those we call our forefathers took when writing the Constitution and so many great documents.  Have faith in them, those we have trusted for so long.  Have faith in this experiment of theirs.  Have faith in yourself to trust others and to know what you own and leave it at that.
