“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God” Romans 8:14-15.

This is about a story I heard while in a vacation bible retreat at lake arrowhead as a kid.

Have you ever wondered what might be the silent common prayer of men the world all over? I think it would go something like this: “thank God for not making me a woman”. In the context of world performance so far, men are probably right to pray thus. Myth, history, religion, governments and individuals are on record as having treated women as indeed “the opposite sex” rather than the “neighboring sex”. The world “ opposite” is in itself is a tacit acknowledgment of a secret distrust and resentment that men seem to harbor against women from the time of Adam until now.

Pondering on the drives that drove the Buddha to his holy path.

A legally based discussion about the statment made by Baroness Wilcox, House of Lords, United Kingdom 2002. I think that it provides an interesting framework for a broader discussion of marriage. The discussion is based on the state of the Law at the time of the statement. So that it fits into the context of the time. However, The Civil Partnership Bill referred to did go on to become law and remains so.
