~Protect Marriage~

So, I know I am going to get some flak for writing this, but after seeing this video, I felt like I could not just sit there and let my voice not be heard! This is a touchy subject and I am not writing this to bash anyone, but I do feel like there is a voice that is not being heard because they are afraid of "Political Correctness". In my opinion Gay Marriage is wrong. I believe this because that's what the Bible teaches. My children will be brought up knowing this as well. I feel this is something that lies in the hands of Parents! I think schools who teach same sex marriage and give you no alternative are taking away my right as a parent to teach MY child. It is honestly one of the most horrifying things I have ever heard of ... that if my child goes to a school in a state where same sex marriage is legal that this WILL be part of their curriculum! They will send home books that teach this and I strongly disagree! There is no other option, you can't opt out or be notified when they teach these things. Because it's legalized it will be taught just like any other thing! They will not let us teach ANY sort of religion or even have a prayer,BUT they can teach this?!?! I watched this video and thought it was very informative! It's about a couple who lives in Massachusetts and sent there 5 YEAR OLD son to kindergarten and the school sent home a packet about diversity and there was a book about a homosexual couple. They are teaching this to FIVE YEAR OLDS!!! Since I have a 5 Year old, I know how impressionable they are and how things like this bring up questions. I know I am the one who should decide when and in what manner my child should learn about these things!

Right now in California there is a huge issue coming up on the ballot for election in November. As most of you probably know same sex marriage has been legalized in this state. Proposition 8 would overturn that decision. Many people think that this may not be that big of an issue, or that it is just a sign of the times and there is no point in fighting it. But it is a big issue and we need to fight for marriage. The consequences that come from allowing same sex marriage are much more than just a person's right to marry whom they choose. Gay marriage will be mandatory to teach in our schools to children as young as 5 years old. It also puts our churches at risk for attack. Churches will be sued for not allowing same sex marriages and possibly lose their tax exempt status, not to mention the lawsuits that would come from preaching against same sex marriage. We cannot allow this attack on marriage, families, our children and our churches. Right now there is a huge push for donations of time and money. They are running ads on television that are having a huge impact on voters. This is an issue that affects more than just California. Please visit www.protectmarriage.com to make a donation. Please do anything you can to help so that no matter the outcome of the vote you can feel good about where you stand.

I will be the first to say that I do not think this will stop in California! We need to take a stand now and not let it spread! I am sorry if this offends anyone! I have to protect my family and the values the bible teaches! Here is the link to the video about the family in Massachusetts. It's very enlightening, please take a few minutes and watch it!

Our Family is Growing by 2 Feet...

Yes it is true. We are adding another addition to our little family! I am 10 weeks pregnant! We are super excited! It has BY FAR been the hardest, most nauseating pregnancy this far, but hopefully as the "wonderful" first trimester ends, so will the nausea! Kiley and Brendan are both THRILLED and they got to see the baby during the ultrasound and they kept saying, "The Baby is on TV"! So that was Super Cute!! Anyway, I hope you all will keep all of us and this growing baby in your prayers, it would be Much appreciated! I hope you all have a Great week! :o)
