Thumbs Up
• Thumbs up to Rep. Warren Chisum of Pampa who authored the Texas Defense of Marriage Act and to other state legislators along with Governor Perry for their support of the bill. This is what happens when God’s people register to vote, learn how to vote, vote for candidates who share their values, and then encourage them to stand strong for those values. Keep it up, friends. I guarantee the other side will not give up.
• Thumbs up to Tom Eliff for leading Southern Baptists’ family emphasis this year. Although puzzling to outsiders who focused only on what they considered the repression of women in a quaint family structure, Pastor Eliff and other leaders showed us the wide range of blessings for our world that follow from strong, biblical families. It is a timely challenge and was well communicated in Phoenix.
• Thumbs up to six members of the US Supreme Court for their decision to uphold the constitutionality of internet filters for public libraries. What’s with Souter, Stevens, and Bader-Ginsburg? Do they not know any children? Have they never been on the Web? Freedom of speech is not absolute. Access to information does not mandate that public monies make everything available to everyone. A little common sense on the part of six justices stands in stark contrast to the three dissenters in this case.
