Friday is "Pray" day

Tomorrow begins the actual debate on the sexuality recommendations. There are 19 proposed amendments. We are supposed to be finished by 2:30 p.m. tomorrow, but I cannot imagine that this is going to go on and on. Please pray for us.

The president of Word Alone spoke at the end of our Solid Rock Lutherans forum tonight, reminding us that there are really no winners in this situation. Somebody is going to be unhappy tomorrow. Debating this issue and voting on it hurts us all. She encouraged us to remember that the people on the "other side" are God's children too. She even said that if it were up to her, she would say, yes, we should pass the resolutions. But we can't. The Word of God does not support it and we do not have the authority to do so. This is painful because real people, children of God (on both sides) are going to be hurt.

We don't know how it is going to go tomorrow. We don't know how much parliamentary games are going to affect the outcome. Pray that God's will be done and that we all treat one another the way that we want to be treated.

Amen
