Calif. marriage amendment supporters take fundraising lead on strength of big donations
.png) SACRAMENTO, Calif. (BP)--After trailing in fundraising by $3 million, supporters of a proposed California marriage amendment have taken the lead over opponents, thanks in part to a series of gifts totaling nearly $2 million.
The news is somewhat surprising, considering that on the national level, homosexual activist organizations historically have out-fundraised opponents on similar ballot initiatives by wide margins of upwards of two-to-one to three-to-one.

Christian Families: Overcommitted and Overwhelmed?
Take time to pray and be still and know
that He Is God.

Lincensd Professional Counselor
Often, well intentioned Christians feel they must do it all. In addition to family, work, school, and church responsibilities, families commit to baseball, soccer, dance, gymnastics, music lessons, various committees, and the PTA all at the same time.
Please do not mistake me for saying that these activities are bad. Nor is wanting your family to have positive and varied experiences somehow wrong.
