A Most-Special Easter Presentation

Dad and I had a very special treat this past Easter. Justis' church group (New Life Worship Center) presented a Passion Play on March 22 and 23, in Thayer, Missouri.

Now, it has been a while since I have been in an audience of any live performance; but, I must confess (please pardon the pun) that this was an impressive experience! The Director, Kat Kriag, besides being a beautiful soul, has great artistic talent as shown here... Enjoy!

Of course, for us, the star of the show was Justis...

see if you can spot her in the slideshow of the play...

The Institution of Marriage

(An Essay in Progress)

What constitutes a marriage? This is a question with which the American mass media is wrestling. If we agree that the media is simply reporting on the actions of American society, then we must conclude that, indeed, American society is wrestling -- with itself -- about the institution known as marriage.

The social sciences (Sociology, Political Science, Economics) are charged with defining the terms associated with collective societal behavior. [continue discussion of social sciences here]

I am not a social scientist... not an economist... not a politician... not a sociologist... What could I possibly add to this collective societal discussion on marriage? What can I possibly say, that has not already been said? Why should I care to speak on behalf of either side of the argument?

Allow me to answer the last question first. As a citizen of the United States, I believe that the ultimate responsibility of each citizen is threefold:

to learn our common history;
to understand how we have reached the present moment; and
to affect our collective future.

In a free society such as ours, it is imperative that citizens understand the burden of citizenship. It causes me great grief to observe citizens who are so quick to condemn illegal aliens in our country; but, that is the extent of their (the citizens) involvement -- to complain in arenas where their voice is unheard, or ineffective. I like to call these citizens the "legal aliens." Although they are "legally present," they are "alien" insofar as they have shirked one or more of the three responsibilities of citizenship.

For the purpose of this essay, the use of the term "citizen" ignores aliens, legal or otherwise. In this essay, we shall presume that where the term "citizen" is used, it refers to those citizens who have accepted their duties of citizenship as highlighted previously.
