What is Proposition 8?

Wikipedia Definition:

 Proposition 8 is a California State ballot proposition that would amend the state Constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman. It would overturn a recent California Supreme Court decision that had recognized same-sex marriage in California as a fundamental right. The official ballot title language for Proposition 8 is “Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry.” The entirety of the text to be added to the constitution is: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.”

The campaigns for and against Proposition 8 raised $35.8 million and $37.6 million, respectively, becoming the highest-funded campaign on any state ballot that day and surpassing every campaign in the country in spending except the presidential contest. The proponents argued for exclusively heterosexual marriage while claiming that failure to change the constitution would require changes to school curriculum and threaten church tax benefits. The opponents argued that eliminating the rights of any Californian and mandating that one group of people be treated differently from everyone else was unfair and wrong.

Yesterday morning I watched the final presidential debate prior to Election Day on November 4th. So what are my thoughts? Well, I’m glad you ask.

I tried and I tried and I tried. Been searching all morning for some sort of video clip or something of this episode I watched of 7th Heaven (one of my favorite t.v series of all time) once but all I could find was the year, season, episode title and preview. It was in 2004; around the time of America’s last Elections and it was season nine, episode five and the episode was entitled “Vote.”

Well; today is October 14th; seven days subsequent to my last post. How are you all today?

I don’t have anything specific to talk about; just all these random thoughts etcetera that have passed through my mind since we spoke last.

Today is my brother’s birthday. He’ll be twenty-two today and he is probably at work in Barbados (Caribbean island) right now. So I’ll call him later, see how he is doing. Remind him that I love him.

There is an element to my personality that God has molded in me; that I am very thankful for. I am so in tune with my emotions. I feel things; I feel love; compassion; happiness; sadness and I sometimes get so overwhelmed by the magnificence of God’s wonderful world and people; that tears of gratitude seep from my eyes. I love to feel because these true emotions make me feel so alive.

Well; it’s the beginning of another month; just last month I was waiting to finally move into our own apartment on the second floor, where we have been living for the last year. Then after a year of waiting for that blessing God brought it to past officially on 10th September. It’s been three weeks since we have lived in our new home and it has just been a blessing.

So, I have finally arrived, the place I’ve been praying to be, for over a year now. One of my many short-term goals has been realized and I am so grateful to my Father for bringing me to this place. Being here has helped me to understand something I have already known in my heart of heart.

I have to admit; lately I haven’t been feeling God’s presence in my life as strong as times before; it kind of reminds me of the poem “Footprints;” where you look at the footprints in the sand; you only see one pair; you think they are your footprints and you are walking alone in times of trials; not realizing it’s the Father’s footprints you are seeing and he has been carrying you all along.

Sometimes in your life; it gets quiet and you wonder where has your Savior gone off to but you don’t realize he still there; he is still working on your behalf but sometimes he is just keeping a low profile. My Father’s still with me but like I keep saying this is my waiting season, so there’s no big noise here.
