Any people of faith around here?

3. I consider myself a person of faith, though to much less extent that most of my life.

A few years ago, 2004 to be exact, I walked out of the Southern Baptist church I attended when they actively lobbied for passage of an amendment to our state's constitution banning same-sex marriage. They circulated petitions to get the ballot measure up for a vote and raised money to that purpose. Sadly, the measure passed, but I have never since participated in any church services (save for funerals, weddings, mass with a visiting relative). I do cling to my faith in our country and my fellow citizens, and pray that truth and wisdom will prevail, leading to the turnaround we so desperately need. Not sure where those prayers end up, but I will include in them a request that the miracle you seek on Tuesday happens. I also pray that God will prevail over the Kochs, Rove, and all those whose money is stealing our freedoms and destroying our democracy. Maybe some day that prayer, too, will be answered.

Best wishes. And as we used to say in the 60s, Keep the Faith!
