And.....

Last Monday my friend Leslie came home from her swimming time and found her front door kicked in. She was afraid whoever had done it were still inside so she went to the apartment complex office to call the police. Apparently someone had been watching her place because the UPS man had just tried to deliver a package and had left a note on the door. That was about fifteen minutes before Leslie came home. They stole a digital camera, a portable DVD player and 1600 dollars. She is scared now. Seems even Gulfport is getting worse.

Leslie is in the process of buying a house and is anxious to move now. I think it is going to take some time for her to feel safe again.

I was thinking about this last night. Are there degrees of sin? Is one sin worse than another? People are going ballistic and organizing to stop same sex marriages. I agree that homosexuality is a sin. It is clearly talked about as such in the scripture. But, is anyone organizing against adultry? How about your good friend who is having sex with a person they are not married to. People say that same sex marriages are an attack against the union of marriage. Isn't adultry and fornication also an attack against the union of marriage? Was homosexuality included in the Ten Commandments? I sometimes think that the people who scream the loudest are trying to hide their own sins from the public.
