We have to protect marriage!

I have very strong feelings about this subject! I don't mind others having their own opinions, but I personally believe this is wrong! There are so many reasons! In "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" it states, "marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God". We need to protect this sacred value, as well as many others! It will truly affect our children more than we want to realize! Please watch this terrifying video about a family in Massachusetts who is having to deal with this issue head on in their young child's school! School is a place where children are supposed to learn things that will benefit their lives! Same sex marriage is being taught as normal! It is most definitely not normal! I was appalled at how this situation was handled! The school is there to assist the parents, NOT the other way around! Another act that I was terribly disgusted with was when a class of 5 and 6 year olds took a field trip to go see their teacher's wedding! It happened to be a same sex wedding. This is a very impressionable age and these children will remember this for the rest of their lives. The thing that made me the most mad is that the parents of these children should have had to sign a permission form to allow their children to go, and only 2 families stood up for the right and did not allow their children to be exposed to that! Why in the world are my tax dollars going to provide a field trip for students that is so against anything that is natural! To a wedding, let alone a same sex wedding! Field trips are allowed for the purpose of teaching children a valuable lesson that is not able to be taught in the classroom! This is not a valuable lesson! This is a lesson that is detrimental to the well being of our children and our society! The Mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsome, was quoted at this event, saying, "The door's wide open now. It's gonna happen, whether you like it or not." What a coward! What about our founding fathers who built this country on the principals that God has laid down! What about fighting for what we believe in! That is what this country has always done! We don't just lay down and take it! The campaign promoting the legality of same sex marriage states that this will NOT be taught in our schools! Well, as you can see this is a blatent lie! One created by the adversary to lull us away from doing what is right! I hope this is okay, but I am going to use someone elses words now! One of Nancy Jones' friends wrote this and I think it is an important issue to think about as well! "If a new precedent allowing gay marriage is adopted, it could prove detrimental to our church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints would be forced to adopt/accept gay marriage, or it would lose its tax exemption status. Just think for a moment what that would mean for the welfare programs--hence our tithing money. This is also setting precedent for gay marriage to be taught in schools not as an alternative lifestyle, but equal to the traditionally defined marriage." I say again, traditionally defined marriage is between a man and a woman! This view should not be changed and challenged in the young impressionable minds of the children of today! The Church also put out a great statement about this cause! Please read this, it is called "The Divine Institution of Marriage". Please, please, please help protect our children! Lets get the word out that we can fight this! We don't have to just lie down and take it! Another thing that we can do is pray! The Lord is mindfull of all his children and he listens to our prayers! I know this to be true! There is an e-mail going around that can bring the whole world together to petition God for His help in this matter and others surrounding this election! It is the following!
ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT
This is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced, and from the looks of the polls, the Christians aren't voting Christian values. We all need to be on our knees. Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders unfold. This scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do that. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land. This election is the scariest I remember in my lifetime.
2 Chronicles 7:14. 'If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.'
During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill, who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute, to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect, as bombing stopped. There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America. The United States of America, and our citizens, need prayer more than ever!!! If you would like to participate, each evening at 9:00 P.M. Eastern Time (8 PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific), stop whatever you're doing, and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the upcoming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land, and that Christianity will grow in the U.S. If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along. Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have. Thank you. Please pass this on to anyone who you think will want to join us. God Bless You!!!
Please pass this word along! Please take the time to vote! It is a responsibility that we should not take lightly! Also please get involved by going to the Protect Marriage website! There is so much that needs to be done!
