The case has many points
So this morning we were tee-peed. No big deal, pretty tame job...a few rolls around some trees and around the cars. The only thing is, we don't really know anybody local that would tee-pee us. Our kids don't go to school here, we have a handful of friends on this side of the hill, none of which would do such a thing.
So a little closer examination and it all made sense. "Being gay is fun. No on Proposition 8" drawn on the driveway using the plentiful supply of persimmons in the front yard as "chalk". Luckily the vandals were pretty tame, I'm suspecting my 16 year old neighbor who seems to always seems to be in trouble and who apparently has a best friend who is gay is probably behind it.
Let's see...just because we put a sign in our yard...Wonder Woman's been verbally assaulted, the sign's been stolen, and we've been vandalized. I admire the tolerance of those who disagree with me. Our society is tolerant of only those who toe the line. Ironic isn't it?
My other neighbor was agonizing over her oldest son embracing the same agenda. She is a staunch Irish catholic and her oldest (first year of college) thinks she's stupid for being pro-life and pro-marriage. Twelve years of school adds up. Don't believe me? Wait 5 more years.

Wow, I think you guys must be doing something terribly RIGHT to be getting the opposition you're getting :) What a blessing to get so much attention from folks who oppose you! Just think, your neighbors may have missed your (missing) signs, but they for CERTAIN saw your tp'd house...God must be preparing your neighbor's hearts in powerful ways ;)...can't wait to see what He does! Funny how it took days 'n days AFTER the election for the retaliation.
I wonder how long it will take the perpetrator to figure out that they're conflicted and searching? How long your neighbor's son takes to realize that some things aren't mere foolishness or ignorance, but are to be taken seriously or there is chaos? Having my own (VERY...Have you MET her???) liberal daughter at 19-11/12 I understand your neighbor's dilemma, I too (per her) am a fool for believing in marriage and family...yet, I KNOW with certainty in my heart that she will see what I'm talking about. Granted, that may not be until her own child is searching foggily for her face and grasping her fingers...I pray it's not after she's had her heart broken and made irreversible choices, but that's between her true Father and herself. He is the only one who loves her more than I do and her journey is her own at this point. I believe that there is NO formula for raising the perfect "Christian Kid" who never strays...there is only faith, love and trust in the fact that the Father has a perfect plan. You should be so proud to be a part of His plan for your screwy neighbor kid...Your mission...The Greenhouse 5 (if you choose to accept it)...is to mirror His love for the same rascally rabbits who messed up your yard!
Lucky!

Blessings for your perspective as always EW.
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
I AGREE! This is GREAT! :) Way to go Grennhouses...for taking a stand for what's important in God's eyes. Are your "sensor lights" working in your front yard again? :) Maybe the next time they show up you can meet "him" face to face. Make sure you ask "him" to smile for a photo so you can put it on your blog. We will be praying for those "lost souls"!
