Matthew 7:13

 

Connie Marshall is a self-described "straight, Democrat, Christian woman who feels blessed to live in a country where my gay brothers and sisters are (slowly but surely) being seen as equals . . ." She's proud to live in a country where God and prayer have been taken out of the public school classroom "where it never should have been in the first place." I suppose that means she objects to those teachers in Newtown having prayed with their students as a madman stalked them.

 

Connie says "You may choose to look at our country through a very narrow 'biblical lens,' but my hope and prayer is that someday our lens will broaden." She says that acceptance is what makes this country so beautiful. That seems to be in opposition to what Jesus taught about a "broad biblical lens." "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.." I think I'll keep my narrow biblical lens.

P.S. Happy New Year! May 2013 be a heck of a lot better than 2012 was!
