Yes on Prop 8

I'm sorry to ask you to watch another video again today. As you probably know, many of our loved ones in California have been asked to "step out" in favor of Proposition 8 in an effort to protect traditional marriage. We have children and grandchildren who are involved in this effort, and we know something about the sacrifices they are being asked to make. Our daughter recently overheard our three-year-old granddaughter ask her friend, "Are you Yes or No on Prop 8?" I'm sure she doesn't even know what Prop 8 is, but it is evident that it is very much a part of their everyday lives. The opposition is becoming angry and sometimes ugly. Last Saturday, those in favor of Prop 8 lined the Pacific Coast Highway for many miles to show their support. While it seems very far away, what happens in California will affect all of us. The least we could do is to pray for their success.

Tristen has been posting stuff about this too. I sure hope Prop 8 will pass. What a scary world this is. People talk about tolerance but it seems tolerance is only tolerance when they get their way. Sad..

This is totally unrelated. Hi Mom. My email doesn't work, so hello from Africa. Things are going great. We are happy, but tired. Give a hug to dad and tell him to just mail that letter to my house.
