God bless you for all you're doing to raise a healthy-minded, secure young man; as you do, you're making our world a better place. Harvey would kiss you for this!<BR/><BR/>Davis, welcome! And thanks for your kind words. I hope you come by often and contribute your comments. With the altogether amazing Fran as the link between us, I already count you as a brother! I just made a mad dash over to your blog; it's so cool, not only for what you say (very sound and also thought-provoking), but your visuals. They're exquisite! If it's cool with you, I'd like to link it here. I look forward to seeing more of you!<BR/><BR/>Peace to both of you,<BR/>TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271248501086241494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722447614945782871.post-79502445424293717322008-11-19T08:54:00.000-06:002008-11-19T08:54:00.000-06:00Franiam sent me over here and you have a wonderful...Franiam sent me over here and you have a wonderful blog.

You're a sterling example to all of us who fail to rally around issues that aren't related to where we live. <BR/><BR/>When I think of you and T, and the wonderful marriage and life you've built together, I'm reminded of what Paul said after he listed the fruits of the spirit (love, joy, peace, etc.--all the things I see in both of you). When he finished, he said flatly, "There are no laws against these things."<BR/><BR/>Let them pass all the propositions they want. In the end, the integrity, commitment, and love represented your marriage, and thousands like it, will stand. It can't be outlawed!<BR/><BR/>I love and admire you both more than you'll ever know... and I'm proud as all get-out to belong to your family. <BR/><BR/>Love always,<BR/>tTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271248501086241494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722447614945782871.post-6421229304957421302008-11-14T05:17:00.000-06:002008-11-14T05:17:00.000-06:00Uncle Tim!!!

I was watching some of the protests the other night in California on television and was just thinking how much I wish I could do more to be a part of this fight....how, even if my own marriage wasn't on the line, it would still be so important and something I would be intensely passionate about. Unfortunately, living in Atlanta, it isn't really easy or practical to get a dog in the fight first hand and participate. While reading through some blogs later that night I came across this video and it gave me goosebumps! I watched it about a dozen times and then immediately sent it out to all of my friends and asked them to do the same. Thank you for doing your part to pass it on and share the hope! When you don't live in a state where the fight is active and ongoing then the best you can do sometimes to feel like you're contributing to the struggle is to do your part to pass the truth along.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see you at Christmas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722447614945782871.post-36891508291833638602008-11-14T00:13:00.000-06:002008-11-14T00:13:00.000-06:00John, it's always a treat to see you here!

Thank you for your comments. This was on...Hi, Fran! Thank you for your comments. This was one of those wonderful moments when several strands of thought floating around mysteriously braided together into one idea. I'm always amazed when this happens, because it's so far beyond my intentions or capabilities that I can't imagine taking credit for it. I'm grateful no end to you for writing; it makes me all the more grateful to God for His guidance in keeping me "out of the weeds," as they say.<BR/><BR/>I was in New Jersey today on business and showed the Milk video to my colleagues, all of whom share our disappointment in Prop 8's passage. What surprised me most about their reaction was their vague sense of who Harvey Milk was. I naturally assumed that most everyone was vividly aware of him, but it seems his memory has faded more than I thought. That makes the upcoming movie and its attendant press all the more exciting, I think. God bless its makers, Penn, and the rest for daring to bring him back to the world's attention.<BR/><BR/>As I'm just getting in and haven't got over to your place yet, if you've not tracked down the youtube code, here's the link:<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pvfexvihri8<BR/><BR/>I hope other bloggers who are part of our community "out here on the tubes" will pick it up and use it also!<BR/><BR/>Be blessed, always, and keep fighting the good fight of faith! It's a great honor to have you as a my sister and role model!<BR/><BR/>TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271248501086241494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722447614945782871.post-87070310008313978812008-11-13T15:59:00.000-06:002008-11-13T15:59:00.000-06:00Oh my - Tim... what a beautiful post.
