Freedom

I am thinking today of current events such as: the Supreme Court stands up for free speech rights but at what cost; the President decides he is not going to defend the Defense of Marriage Act because his thoughts on this are evolving; and Libyans seeking freedom try to draw in an already over-stretched United States military.  I am praying for freedom, marriage, and peace.  

Meanwhile, I seek to refuse to cast the first stone at those who make important decisions on our behalf.  I seek to discern truth, support those in authority, and speak up for those without a voice.  These things seem to be at odds at times and yet I must wrestle with them none the less.
