Rainbows and Pride

Pride is a sin. Being gay is a sin. Gay pride is being promoted and pushed into the spotlight more and more all the time. I went to pick up a photo I ordered in Hobby Lobby and a person helped me. I tried to determine if it was a girl wanting to be a guy or a guy wanting to be a girl. It had both features. It had short hair and kind of a deeper voice, yet fingernails and physical features of a woman. I thought the nametag would help me, but the name read "A". Oh my. On to Target, the store I used to love to shop at. I have always been a big fan of Target, I do all my shopping there and fill prescriptions. I am there on a weekly basis. When walking through the store, there are many rainbow sections with signs that say "Pride". Little girls t-shirts that have rainbow hearts and the word"Pride" or "Love is love". Children should not be brain washed into this whole lifestyle. Ugh. There are rainbow packaged everday products that when purchased go to support the gays and transgenders. God's promise given to us in a beautiful rainbow has been stolen and used in the wrong context. Many of the employees checking out are transgender. Mary had long wavy hair, pale shaved arms, yet whiskers from a bread and male voice. Female checkers with short butch haircuts, lots of piercings, and awkwardly masculine. It makes me uncomfortable, its really so un-natural and awkward.  I dont think of myself as a racist, there really isnt a race that bothers me, but this is something that I just cant wrap my brain around and these people's flamboyant lifestyle sickens me. I want them to know Jesus, know they are living in sin, and know that it is wrong. What saddens me so, is seeing young people confused about themselves changing their gender. The same day I went to the pool and two girls(not even certain if one was a boy or girl) were getting dressed. Both had short hair and were all in black and very dark. I was very uncomfortable with them in the bathroom. One went and changed behind a stall door and came out wearing a tank top and swim trunks while the other wore a bathing suit. I found it disturbing and uncomfortable. Nobody should have to feel uncomfortable in a public bathroom not knowing if there is a male in there, or someone wishing to be a male checking out the women. At night I took Luke to his 4H meeting and one of the horse project girls who lives in town and goes by the name "Sam" and doesn't want to be called she or her was wearing all black and her rainbow heart pride shirt. Ugh! 4H to me represents the farm families, the country folks that are down to earth and most of them have strong roots and faith in God. Like I said it is right there in my face all the time. This summer Jake went to his 4H conference. He told me of a boy that is transgender that had to stay in the dorm with the guys. He described him to me and it sounded like the same boy that was in the girls dorm last year. I have no way of knowing for sure and I often think  one small voice may not have an impact, but some things I feel very strongly about and it prompts me to wrtie, sometimes a letter. After conference last year I wrote a letter to both our county and the state 4H commenting about the transgender boy staying with the girls. If a person is born a boy or girl, it shouldn't matter what they want to be, they are still the gender they were born with and therefore should stay with the same gender. In my mind that seems pretty obvious and there should be no questions. If the boy is uncomfortable staying with the guys, then he probably shouldn't attend. I hope that my letter did make a difference and will at least make the 4H community think twice about their choices. How did we ever get so worldly and accept it? The democrats accepted gay marriage and since then, its been a revolution of gay pride.  A pastor best explained it, over time our culture draws farther and farther from truths, conforming to the ways of the world and following man, not God. It is so evident in this day the LGBQT pushing their beliefs, their so called rights, and seem to have so much power to make drastic changes, it is all the devil working.
I am not sure what I am supposed to be learning from it all,  Tolerence? I keep thinking, how does God want me to handle this. I know we are to love one another and show love and grace to all, not to judge.I also know it is a sin and God hates sin. Love the sinner and not the sin. But what do you do when the sin is pushed in your face day after day so that we start to accept it as ok and not a sin. It bothers me so much and makes me sad how easily the world takes a sin and puts it on a pedestal for all to see and make it good. I can't just ignore it and hope it will go away. I dont want to be a hater because I am not hating these people, I just cannot accept something so very wrong. I will just keep praying to show grace and love and pray that others will see the truth and repent, turn back to God. I would love to take back the rainbow. It is God's rainbow of a promise, not of a prideful sin.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
