I feel like I needed to get my thoughts out on what I see happening on Facebook because of the Senate vote on gay marriage today. A vote that can impact the lives of many people.
I am here:
as a catholic.
as someone who has been judged HARSHLY by others for choices I have made. (Hello--two babies before I was married)
as a mother.
as a friend.
as someone who believes strongly in separation between church and state.
as a person who gives as much and loves as much as I know how.
as someone who doesn't believe she is "twisting" God's word because I don't think the gay lifestyle is wrong.
as someone who knows my parents taught me to love others.
So please friends, don't use God and the Bible to judge others. Don't use God and the Bible to pretend you are better, or more perfect than others.
Please use God and the Bible to:
spread love.
spread joy.
encourage others to be their best.
teach your children that there is way more good than bad in the world.
forgive those who haven't done right.
volunteer.
donate.
love each other.
