If you've read our blog recently, you've probably noticed our little widget-guy over there--------> and even if you are not a Californian right now, this issue is a big one for all of us. I won't tell you what you should think, but it's a good time for all of us to be informed. Check out these links: (They're overwhelming in their entirety but good places to get started.)
My friend Leah has an amazing blog where a lot of her posts lately have been devoted to this issue, and she has some well-thought-out opinions. You've gotta scroll through her blog to see some of her past posts, too. I was talking with Amanda, another friend of mine who lives in California, about her experiences lately with Prop 8, and she says it's been pretty crazy out there. I won't go into details, but there are a lot of similarities in CA to what has been going on in Massachusetts, where gay marriage has also been legalized.
Read the links. It's a hot issue. But be careful: a lot of the info is pretty sickening.
And here's another one worth paying attention to: it's a BYU devotional address given by Boyd K. Packer in March of 1992, entitled "The Fountain of Life." I saw it on tv the other day and was refreshed by the pure doctrine available to us. It is only available to listen to, though. (No written transcripts.)
Info on Gummy Mummies:
ReplyDeleteThey were actually brownies. I used whipped icing. M&M's for the eyes and the mummy itself was trimmed bubble gum tape. Very cute and a big hit. Although, very time consuming and the gum has to be removed before you can eat them.
