Beloved, let us love one another
(echo: Let us love one another),
For love is of God, and every one that loveth
Is born of God, and knoweth God.
He that loveth not
(echo: loveth not),
Knoweth not God,
For God is love (echo: God is love),
Beloved, let us love one another,
First John four, seven and eight.
(REPEAT UNTIL WE BELIEVE AND LIVE IT)

Today is a tough day. I will re-post a scripture from a few days ago that is comforting to my weeping heart. I have added bold to the parts that are comforting to me particularly:
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:35-39

The CACC choir has a setting of these words, perhaps not the same tune though. Many of the members know and could probably sing it at the drop of a hat.
Last night was a roller coaster. I'm elated about Obama's election, and the end of the Bush regime. I am grieved that 51.9% of my fellow Californians were mislead into voting for diswcrimination, and I pray for the day we grow up and reverse this. I'm hopeful that the trend is toward less hate, even though we haven't gotten their yet, and that the balance will tip soon.
I am just as shocked and disappointed. I've always been proud to be from California, and I love living here, but to sit and watch while 52% of my fellow Californians decided to vote for discrimination and inequality, it made me sick to my stomach. I hope that this is just a small bump down a road toward equality for everyone, regardless of race, religion, sexuality or lifestyle.
I still have not gotten over the passing of Prop 8. I honestly did not think it stood a chance of passing. Let us not give up hope.
Love,
Leslie
