For the last few days gay marriage has been on the news and in talk shows. I listened and watched to the Katie show this afternoon. It had several gay families on it along with their children.

I listened intently to the reasons that gay marriage should be recognized in more if not all states. It was heart-felt for me as I heard couples stating that they lived the same normal lives that heterosexual families have.

I listened to them state that they want equality as regular marriages have with all the benefits of health coverage etc. I heard them profess long-term love for each other.

I heard one child state that he was pretty sure he was gay in his teens and tried to end his life.

The debate is huge and could be a large stepping stone in our century. It would bring around many changes.

I am not here to say whether it is a good thing or bad thing. I don’t know if I can truly understand most of it since I am not gay or lesbian. I imagine love is love. Pain is pain and we all hurt in the same ways.

I pray for our country. I pray that God will allow what is good to happen in our life time. I trust that God always knows best. He knows our future as well as he knows our past. I pray for the President and the entire congress as the decisions that are about to be made are what is in all of our best interest.
