I have not felt that way for sometime. I often think that today...surely today is the day, because of feeling that this place is not my home. Sometimes the events of this world, that for so many are just normal events, seem to me to be almost surreal. When He is ready for me, I am ready to go, until then we must as David says: Plow On...Plow on. I do think that I understand what Paul must have felt when he said this:
Philippians 1:23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:24 Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful
2 Corinthians 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

Yes we need to keep our focus on going to our heavenly home. We are in this world but we are not of this world. I think of some words of a song, "I don't feel at home in this world any more."

Woah! That was some vision!
Psalm 23:1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
There have been times in my life when this Palam has been a great comfort to me, especially the bolded parts.
This article makes me ill! Indeed the fabric of our society is crumbling before our eyes. Let us remain with our eyes and our ears and our hearts focused on our heavenly home. This earth is not our home.

Is it any wonder that this organization should do this? Brothers and Sisters soon- we will have to go underground Soon! We will need to witness with the grace of a dove,but be cunning of a fox and watchful of an owl. Obey on sight, speak when the Spirit says to speak, be silent when the Spirit says to be silent, but in each walking in the complete love of Jesus Our Shepherd.FOR HE WILL GUIDE US! When I was praying and listening to music of praise , getting lost in the grace of Our Lord nd the power of His might.I had seen in front of my eyes, Guards in Blue uniforms closing churches and synagogues. Arresting people inside for they forsook the New Order. The guards had a emblem of a flag presenting a crescent moon and a three prong sword and its background a gigantic armored man on each sleeve and on the back one eye with a diamond surmonting a table turned upside down.The guardes place the church goers in this jungle a work camp surrounded by bayous where it rain blood! And in the distant Moshe says "Be quick my children, the Dragon slays the mighty eagle for it will make it bow to the west".Then I became very afraid but I held onto this moment lost in the grace of the Lord.
Grace and Peace to those who trust the anointing of the Spirit, those who hear the voice of Mekesidek and call to El Shaddaih- Jesus the One who is the first A'dam of the resurrections.

The ACLU is so wrong defending each of the things mentioned in the article. They should know that they are going down the wrong path - going against
traditional marriage that way and they are going against God and God's word. I have to wonder if their conscience ever bothers them when they are defending such things - I would think it would and should.

ACLU Now Defends Polygamy, Further Eroding Traditional Marriage
By James L. Lambert
June 24, 2005
(AgapePress) - In comments at an Ivy League school, the president of the American Civil Liberties Union has indicated that among the "fundamental rights" of people is the right to polygamous relationships -- and that the ACLU has defended and will continue to defend that right.
In a little-reported speech offered at Yale University earlier this year, ACLU president Nadine Strossen stated that her organization has "defended the right of individuals to engage in polygamy." Yale Daily News says Strossen was responding to a "student's question about gay marriage, bigamy, and polygamy." She continued, saying that her legal organization "defend[s] the freedom of choice for mature, consenting individuals," making the ACLU "the guardian of liberty ... defend[ing] the fundamental rights of all people."
The ACLU's newly revealed defense of polygamy may weaken the pro-homosexual argument for changing the traditional definition of marriage. Proponents of same-sex "marriage" have long insisted that their effort to include homosexual couples in that definition would only be that. However, conservative and traditional marriage advocates predict "other shoes will drop" if homosexual marriage is legalized -- perhaps including attempts to legalize polygamy and to changed current legal definitions of child-adult relationships.
Crawford Broadcasting radio talk-show host Paul McGuire concurs. He says in his opinion, the ACLU "has declared legal war on the traditional family."
"Now the ACLU is defending polygamy," he continues, in response to Strossen's comments. "You know, there are male and female lawyers who wake up in the morning and are actually proud of being ACLU lawyers. But I think the majority of Americans view ACLU lawyers as people who hate America and who want to destroy all Judeo-Christian values and beliefs."
McGuire summarizes by saying that Strossen's organization seems "to only defend things that tear down the fabric of society."
National Review correspondent Ramesh Ponnuru provides some additional insight. "It could be that the ACLU has defended a right for people to set up households in this way without necessarily fighting for governmental recognition of polygamous 'marriages,'" he says.
"Even if so," Ponnuru concludes, "it is hard to see how the ACLU, on its own principles, could stop short of demanding a change to the marriage laws to allow for polygamy."
Strossen has been president of the ACLU since 1991. She is also an acting professor of law at New York Law School and the author of the book, Defending Pornography: Free Speech, Sex & the Fight for Women's Rights
