News on the Election Front
Several key ammendments were passed or voted down according to Biblical standards on November 4th.
- Arizona banned Gay marriage 56% to 44%
- Arkansas banned Gay Couples from adopting children 57% to 43%.
- California banned Gay marriage 52% to 48%
- Florida banned Gay marriage 62% to 38%
It was interesting to me that all the Gay marriage amendments were banned, however several states had laws concerning abortion limitations and they were not passed. A Washington state initiative allows doctor assisted suicide, and Michigan is allowing stem cell research. These show us there is WORK to be done. We can’t sit back and expect our vote to do everything.
Remember, our Government represents not our American people but our voters. It is important that the church of God, sets the agenda for our future. Legislation is the slim piece of the puzzle. We must live daily to influence our kids, parents, friends, neighbors and co-workers by living like Jesus Christ. Our Christ-like example and love for others will influence them away from sinful activities such as addictions, death, abortion, divorce, teen-age pregnancies, etc. This works much better than a policy. The more that God is revealed in a society, the more holy it becomes. The less need there is for laws or regulation. We self-govern and we provide for ourselves.

Our Opportunity
With each gathering, we have the opportunity to dictate the spiritual activity.
God is everywhere. He desires vessels to flow through. Open your soul, spirit, and body.
Thermostat the spiritual temperature of your environment.
As He flows through you, the current picks up. When those around you allow the same, the atmosphere changes. God takes control. We all soar to new heights on the winds of God’s power.
In other words… when you get to church, be ready to ‘have church’!! Pray loud, sing hard, meditate, forgive your neighbor, welcome a guest, soak in the message (and give vocal feedback), give financially, volunteer to serve.
Jump into the mighty river current…

Aledo High seniors pick classmate with Down syndrome as homecoming queen
Never has the selection of a homecoming queen sent so many tears falling so freely.
Kristin Pass, an 18-year-old senior with Down syndrome, became Aledo High School’s homecoming queen Friday to a joyous standing ovation and the flutter of a thousand tissues on a remarkable night for an amazing young woman.
Her grandfather, Dr. David Campbell of Corsicana, escorted her onto the field and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek as Kristin joined eight other young women in the Homecoming Court to await the results of the vote, cast by the 360-plus members of Aledo High’s senior class.

Then came the announcement … and pandemonium.
“Oh my gosh! I was sitting in the student section and everyone stood up, crying and cheering for Kristin,” said longtime friend and fellow senior Meaghan Geary, 17, who first met Kristin in the third grade. “It was great!”
