President Obama today, 10/28/09, signed into law a controversial “hate crime law”. Shortly after he hosted a White House reception for gay activists. The bill which was pushed through Congress attached to an unrelated defense bill, did not make it on it’s own several months ago. I am concerned that this bill was written strictly to protect gays from hate crimes. It gives more protection to gays than to elderly, or children, or any others who are victims of a hate crime. I am certainly not against protecting innocent people from hate crimes, but why single out a particular sector.

Welcome to a new year! Yeah, I know it’s almost March, but it takes awhile to break all those New Years resolutions. (Actually, I didn’t make any – just a waste of time) But it is a new year, a new beginning. But wait, each new day is a new beginning, and oh, each new minute is a new beginning, ummm, well, isn’t each new breath a new beginning? Yes it is!! Let us make sure we spend it wisely. Concentrate on relationships, firming them up with a constant refreshing; with each other and with our God. All else is second fiddle. Last year disappeared in a flash. So can we, so let’s be sure we have our relationships firmed up. God first, family second, then everyone else.
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, …. Matthew 6:33 NIV
