A lesson from Sunday school

As a child, I sat at the Fourth and Forest church of Christ, drinking in those Bible stories. And brothers and sisters? I have to tell you that I was troubled. I was troubled that the people of that time just didn’t seem to Get It, that they were so invested in following the law to the T that …

Kim Davis? Still in the news.

That Kentucky county clerk who refuses to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples has rejected a suggestion that deputies issue licenses while she spends time in jail for contempt of court. Fortunately, five of her deputy clerks have stepped up and said they’ll issue the licenses.

Prayers for the Supremes

Dear All-Girl Prayer and Meditation Circle: Do your thing. Send powerful thoughts to the Supreme Court today so that they might listen fruitfully and eventually make the right (and righteous) decision on marriage equality. (Boys, feel free to pray/meditate as well.)

Finally, and in closing:

The Supremes take on marriage equality next week and America says yes
