As I write this the ink is just about dry on Governor Andrew Cuomo's signature on the bill legalizing marriage between persons of the same sex. And in just fifteen days, the Presbyterian Church (USA)'s newly constituted Book of Order will go into effect, including Amendment 10-A, of which I have spoken/ written before.
So, now GLBTQ persons may marry whom they will in the state of New York. And there is no anti-gay litmus test in the PC(USA) Book of Order.
It's like waking up in an alternate universe.
Did I mention that today is Beloved's and my anniversary, of the "date, not a date"? Seven years since the beginning of what has become... so much more than words can express.
I am most truly blessed.
Ahead: preaching, Petra's high school graduation, and dinner with the whole (local) family. It is a new day.

GOOD things are happening!!
Congratulations! And absolutely rejoicing with you at two major steps toward justice.
The world has turned, the arc of justice is reaching its destination. My soul magnifies the Lord for the Lord has done great things!
God love you
