How many of you have ever used a real outhouse? Raise your hands... Only three! We've come a long way as a society when it comes to handling our waste! Actually, most of you probably need a definition. An outhouse is a small building, usually with only one door and no windows. It is built around a hole in the ground which serves as a toilet. There is no flush and it isn't attached to a sewer. Needless to say, they tended to be somewhat smelly.
I used to spend a week in the country with my aunt & uncle in Douglas, Alabama when I was a kid. I always thought it was crazy to walk a hundred yards from the house, just to use the restroom. Theirs was just on the edge of a pasture with a small trail leading to it. There was a small stream just close enough to hear the water running.
It is easy to understand the concept. Something that smells awful and is full of bacteria needs to be as far from the home as possible! In our culture, we're modernized to the point that we have indoor toilets that use good clean water to wash it away. Sewage is big business these days, just ask Jefferson County, Alabama, which has a $3.2 billion sewer debt. A debt which will eventually bankrupt the city. Who knew there was such money in waste..? A lot of folks like guilty politicians, corrupt construction companies, greedy bankers, gay rights people... etc.
I read with great disappointment today about New York legalizing same-sex marriage. I'm sure the pressure and temptation(accepting bribes) were just too hard to handle for the New York legislature. Governor Cuomo accomplished his number one priority, and that says volumes about his character and leadership. Obviously, Governor Cuomo didn't attend the Bible study lessons which dealt with Sodom and Gomorrah. Of course, neither have our gay, lesbian, and pedophile friends.
I wholeheartedly support traditional marriage which is proper and natural, even regardless of Biblical teachings. It is scientifically the right thing to do. Homosexuality just isn't natural! There is a great article on "Why Same-Sex Marriage Will Fail" by Jim Daly here. Biblically, there isn't a need to argue the point. God was so disgusted with the people of Sodom and Gomorrah that He didn't wait until judgement day for them! Or, I guess you could say their judgement came earlier than most. It is a fitting memorial, to a practice, that damages not just your health but society in general! Our morally bankrupt society will pay a great price for this decadence.
I've been married almost thirty years now with three wonderful children. The traditional view has been awesome and I wouldn't change it for this world! I'm certainly not perfect and God is still teaching me things every day. I also know my exit strategy from this world. It is going to be through Jesus Christ.
I would appeal to the masses who have been misled on homosexuality. You've been sold a bridge to nowhere by the media and poorly chosen friends. You're exit strategy from this life will lead to misery and heartache. Wake up and smell the truth! I believe it is really all about population control and you've just been tricked into believing a lie. God loves you and is waiting as a Father to welcome you back home! Forgiveness and a better lifestyle could be only a prayer away!
