When it comes to the matter of Eternal Life, it is not what we have done, or even who we are that matters. It only matters if you have a personal relationship with Christ Jesus, the Messiah and coming King. It really is, Who You Know, that counts in the most important issue we all face. How, where, and with whom will we spend Eternity.

I grew up in a religious home; went to Church on Sundays and attended private Christian schools, K-12. After that I spent 18 years being very non-religious. Finally, God revealed Himself to my heart (through the prayers of friends and family, and His Holy Word; the book of Romans, in particular). I understand that while I'm a sinner, who can never be perfect (and perfection is God's standard), Jesus met that standard for me (in His life, death and ressurection). All I need do is to turn away from my sins and accept Him as Lord in my life, for His perfection to be counted to my credit.

I didn't realize you were against gay marriage Bryan--everyone gets an opinion ;). (Starin again btw.) I'm kinda vested in the other direction, as my Brother and Brother-in-law(Canadian law, they just celebrated their first year anniversary yesterday) kinda got married to protect their house and shared properties. You met my older brother Scott once. He's the one who works for NASA. Frankly, I think all legal discussion of marriage should be Civil Unions, and all marriages are religious in nature, but so much for debate.
I believe in marriage as a civil institution that is (even still) the backbone of any culture that wishes to remain intact and prosperous. And as a religious matter, by my understanding of the Christian religion, there can be no such thing as a same sex marriage.
I remember Scott, I enjoyed meeting him. I disagree with the choice these men have made in their life, but nonetheless, wish them both well.
No worries, just thought I'd mention it. Part of the fun of Blogging for me is the comments and discussions. :)
