And, just for the record, anyone who makes similar comments to John’s on homosexuality is a jerk in my book – celebrity or not.

I know half of you aren’t going to agree with me and maybe half of you will but you know what just think about it. Maybe I changed someone’s mind, or maybe not. My point is, John is an amazing guy, don’t judge him just by what you read on the media, half the time it’s blown out of proportion anyways.

Using “homosexuality” in prisons as a reason to oppose gay marriage is also flawed, since many of the people who have same-sex relationships in prison aren’t doing it for love. They are doing it for protection, companionship, or sexual release. Their complicated social order should never be used as a reason to discriminate against loving, law-abiding gay couples.

Using your line of reasoning, perhaps we should ban straight marriage because of those who commit adultery or have open and polygamous marriages. :P

I have seen so many gay females who go through their little fake wedding ceremonies over and over with female after female. Ones with a “wife” in each of several different prisons. You can’t make this crap up! There is no respect for the union of marriage and if what I have seen of the lesbian community and the way they toss around the word wife is any indication, I don’t want to see them be able to use it in a legal meaning.

Oh, I guess I should mention half of these women with “wives” have a husband who either doesn’t know or who they left a long time ago and didn’t bother to divorce. Try working at a womans prison someday and see all the straight women that turn gay for the stay, each time they come to stay, it might change your mind a little as well.

My neighbors have come by…all crying… I guess that *I* knew she was extra-special… but I am just now realizing how many peoples lives she touched.

I have had dogs before and I still have 2 other dogs. No offence to any of them, but they aren’t like Muttley. She could interact. She could sing.. and she played with the neighborhood kids like she was one of them. She even played hide and seek.

Last night I was locking up the gates on my property and Star, (the female lab that was closest to Muttley) begged to be let out in the front yard. I thought about it and let out, and she ran to Muttleys grave…she layed down on it for just a second… then got up and came back inside the fence on her own. I guess I underestimate the understanding of Gods creatures.

About John & Jewel; Yes they were presenting together.

You know what I think? I think you are somewhat right. The more I think about it, and the more you tell me, I realized I am biased because I like his work ethic and talent. But personally, he is probably full of himself, and lacks tact.

But I am glad that through our conflicting opinions and mere chance that I have gotten to know YOU a bit!
So, jerk, or no jerk, a blessing came out of this. lol.

Also, I tried to respond to you blog-to-blog and it says I am not approved to write to you. I would be honored to be a blog-buddy.

Blessings,

I did not know that Rich and Jewel were presenting. Are they presenting an award together or separately? He acted really interested in her while they were performing together in Nashville, even joking around about her being his girlfriend.

Another thing he did that my friend, Alyson, and I found really irritating, was right before Jewel sang one of her hits. He made the audience get completely quiet and told us that Jewel was a poet and we weren’t supposed to make noise while she was singing. She had a strange look on her face while he said it, almost like she didn’t agree. I figure the whole point of being on stage is to bask in the enthusiasm of the fans, but he robbed her of that opportunity.

She was beyond beautiful, though. I even loved her “snaggle” tooth. :D

Hope your weekend went well…. Mine was horrible. I had to have my dog of 16 years put down. UGH. It’s horrible.

But, the reason I am writing you is; Did you see John Rich and Jewel were presenting on the ACM’s??? I IMMEDIATELY thought of you and what you told me…lol..

Well, honestly, the Bible is pretty clear about the divorce and remarraige issue… We aren’t supposed to, BUT, there are many situations that I believe are an exception:

Abuse/Abandonment, adultery, underaged marraige, and things of that nature. Additionally; I wasn’t serving God, nor aware of this statute when I remarried. It was after we were married, and commited ourselves to Christ that I learned about it.
So what happened to the whole salvation experience and God washing away ALL your sins??? God meeting you where you are??? You can’t undo your sins… that’s ridiculous.

Anyhow, if your Mother can site the adultery clause in Matt,,,she could remarry by most churches standards. Or if she was abused of neglected.

Just for grins…I live to ponder the Samaritan Woman At the Well with 5 husbands… *wink* Jesus sure had an opportunity to set a presidence then… wonder why he didn’t??

Holiness… been there, done that too. My Grandparents were Holiness, and their church did a lot of good, but also a lot of damage… when people start taking it upon themselves to decide HOW a woman wears her hair, clothing etc… without biblical back up…it seems cult-ish to me. Ya know??

Ok.. done ranting. I hope you have a wondeful weekend Brian!!!

I know of a couple (both are now deceased) who were in their second marriage when they joined a local Holiness church. They decided to separate as husband and wife, but still lived in the same house. I don’t think they had sexual relations after making that decision, but that must have been an incredibly difficult situation to be in.
