Original Post (Feb 2 - 4:33pm)

Parliament had it's first reading of Bill C-38 yesterday. So far from what the media can gather the New Democrat, BLOC, and Liberbal Parties are voting in favour of this bill. However, one Liberal member said that between 20 - 30 members of his party are voting against the bill. This number is lower than where Lifesite reported it at 40. But you have to take into account the pressure that Martin is putting on his caucus. If they don't vote in favour of Bill C-38 they are fired. Now that's democracy, eh!? There is also one NDP member who publicly said she was voting against the bill. She also risks being fired for her party. Most of the Conservative Party is voting against the bill also. I believe there is a good chance that this bill will be defeated if this is how the votes stand. Please continue to pray that God's will will be accomplished in the end. Because that is all that really matters, right? I urge you guys while praying about the sanctity of marriage to continue to pray for all of our leaders and the many daily decisions they make. God is in total control and I am confident that He will accomplish what He desires to do so. We don't always understand His will but it is a good and perfect will. Sure, I can get uptight and stressed out what I see but God see much deeper and He knows what He is doing.
