We've been very busy with our mundane, but grand activities: working at rental house, camping, maintaining the swimming pool, yard work, and watching grandkids. Yes, grandkids---and they inspire this post. I look at them in worry and wonder, just what awaits them in life? While we were away camping (and not paying attention to national affairs), the Supreme Court authorized same-sex marriage in all 50 states and further supported Obama(mis)care. Lately, there's the greater acceptance of the warped activities of trans-genders which could directly affect their daily lives. So, the progressives and activists celebrate these changes as victories, while I see them as a slipping-away of my life-values (biases they would say) and as degradation and threats to the well-being of my grandkids' futures.
Don't picture me as some mean-spirited, ugly, hate-spewing monster, friends. I'm far from that I hope---perhaps, a bit weak in your concept of tolerance and in great need, no doubt, of God's help in the area of compassion and mercy. However, your need for my approval of your sins just ain't gonna happen. Your emotional and intellectual arguments, your tendency to bully me over to your view, will always play second-fiddle to God's orchestra, only to be heard in His Word, the Bible. (Wow, this loony-tune even referred to that outdated bible!) I only mentioned a few of man's sins and weaknesses earlier. There's an entire host of them. I know, for I'm guilty of my fair share of them.
But, please don't be a total hypocrite! Just because you have no moral compass except your own ego, don't presume that I shouldn't choose some other ethical guide than yours. Give me my elbow room, too. Legal isn't necessarily Moral. And, please, question for yourself whether you now have the right to stomp all over me and mine. Yep, I worry about the futures of my grandkids. God forgive us all.
