Drove cab this weekend. Wow. Friday night, AND Halloween? Not only were they dressed funny, and drunk, but they were dressed funnier than normal.

I picked up one foursome early Saturday morning, after a drawn-out private party. One of them, a Russian who can’t handle his liquor (we’ll call him “Alexi”) was dressed as a stereotype Mexican – serape, wide brimmed hat – and was sleeping on the sidewalk when I pulled up. His friends, one gal and two guys, got him poured into the back seat and propped him against the door with the window open. (kudos to you guys, for doing that!) Once we started up 7th Street from downtown, Alexi woke up and started demanding that we pull into “the Arches” or “the Box” for some hamburgers. The gal (we’ll call her “Angela”), who was sitting in the front seat, told me to keep going and she assured Alexi that there was food at the house they could eat.

Three miles of Alexi’s demands finally wore Angela down. We pulled into the Box at 7th Street and Maryland. Poor window guy – had to listen to Alexi’s drunken wanderings all over the menu while he ordered meals for everyone in the car. He even bought me a drink. He would have bought me a full meal, but I wasn’t hungry. Besides, driving a cab with a load of passengers and trying to eat at the same time …

Food ordered, we pull around, Alexi pays, the bags are handed in, and we continue north. Angela starts handing out the food, according to who ordered what, and it appears that the order is short. I noticed the receipt sitting on the seat next to Angela, and I pick it up and look real quick – three meals, one extra drink “mine” and an order of potato wedges. Seems Alexi was so busy being the dinner director he forgot to order for himself…

It’s not too often that I get to write a post on Wednesday.

When I do, it’s going to be a good one, because I don’t want to fritter away the opportunity to share with ya’ll on a day that TMBWitW is normally working from home. However, this is close week and she (being an accounting type) needs to be at the office all week.

When I do post on a Wednesday, I look for something that I can really sink my teeth into. “machosauceproduction” is someone you should probably get to know. He comes from a large family of democrats and has somehow managed to [gasp!] think for himself.

While surfing this morning, I ran across this video that Cyber Pastor posted; I remember thinking to myself when I first saw this guy that I should dig into him a bit more, find out where he’s at. Well, I did that. The man is funny, and truthful. It pains liberals when people like him point out their own foibles, and that is reflected in some of the comments from the left.

Go on, check him out. You won’t regret it. Unless, of course, you happen to be a left-leaning weenie that can’t handle the truth…

On November 4th, 2008, three states (Arizona, California, and Florida) have propositions or amendments on the ballot defining marriage. These will be set in stone – no judge will be able to rule otherwise.

I am biased on this subject, as I believe that marriage should be defined (as it is in the Bible) as a union of one man and one woman.

Arizona’s Proposition 102 reads as follows: “Only a union of one man and one woman will be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state.” This would amend the state constitution. Currently, it is against the law in Arizona for same-sex couples to marry; this amendment would not allow reinterpretation of state law.

California’s Proposition 8 reads as follows: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” This would be in a new section (7.5) of Article 1, and would also not allow reinterpretation by judges in the future.

Florida’s Amendment 2 reads, in part, as follows: “In as much as a marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized.” This amendment will also prohibit judges from overturning this amendment as unconstitutional.

Skyline Church in San Diego, California, presented a series recently outlining the background of California’s Prop 8. Although it was taped and presented in California, the information is applicable to all three states. You can watch the series here.

I’m not going to quote chapter and verse of the Bible to sway your opinion on this matter. If you have read the Bible, and understand what God is saying through His Word, then I would be preaching to the choir; if you have already decided before you get to this sentence that I am a homophobe there is no changing your mind.

Let me get this straight: I am not scared of homosexuality. I am in fear for the souls of those who practice homosexuality unrepentantly after they have been shown the truth. Once you know the truth, and you continue to break God’s laws, then you have condemned yourself. I am not condemning you. God is. I am only letting you know what you have to look forward to. (your future, as an unrepentant sinner, involves eternal pain and a lake of fire)

Those of you in Arizona, California, and Florida: vote yes for marriage. Those of you outside these states: pray for us.
