Biblical Principles Shouldn’t Be Changed
This week, the Barack Obama Administration voiced its opinion in favor of homosexual marriage and shocked many people across this great country. People in favor of this have likened this to the women’s suffrage movement and more recently, the civil rights movement.
But I am here to tell you a black man or woman sitting in the front of a bus is not a sin, women having the right to vote is not a sin, but a man having relations with another man is sin and a woman having relations with another woman is sin. They are not equivalent in any way, shape or form.
People of faith, whether they be Christian, Jewish or Muslim, know this is wrong and it is wrong for our government to force them to accept it as they are trying to do with abortion and the murdering of the unborn.
People of all faiths need to rise up and take a more vocal stand and demand an end to the assault on their beliefs.
In addition, recently, the New York Court of Appeals ruled that viewing child pornography via the Internet is not necessarily illegal, as long as one doesn’t download it to their computer. Then, a judge suggested in another case, that the Ten Commandments be paired down to six to be acceptable.
Who has given these people in position of power the ability to try and change the basic Christian values of our founding fathers and pilgrims?

Galveston PD Is Doing Its Job
I wanted to let the Galveston Police Department know it impresses me whenever there is a major drug bust on the island. Some people just don’t realize the full extent of drug abuse and how it affects our communities as a whole.
Drug abuse leads to economic disadvantages, neglected children, abusive parents, addicted children that impact the educational system, employers who must deal with employee abuses, financial theft, burglaries, domestic violence, etc.
Some teenagers have told me “it’s only marijuana,” but you know what, that’s all it takes to ruin aspects of a community.
When folks go as far as to smoke an illicit substance in a public venue, it says a big negative statement about our city. When the police shut down something like that, it says that Galveston is better than that.

What Can I do To Help Lakeview?
Regarding Lakeview Cemetery’s need of care for love ones laid to rest, I agree with Will and Gloria Dent (“Lakeview Cemetery needs some care,” The Daily News, April 25) and Paula McComb (“Lakeview Cemetery needs some care,” The Daily News, May 8).
My wife’s grave is in the area of the McComb family and like she said, you’ve got these holes filled with water after a rain. So, to put flowers on my wife’s grave at a special time to me and after it’s rained, I have to park on the side of the street and climb over the fence.
She was buried less than a year ago and needs some dirt on top of her grave. I would like to talk to the owner and find out what I can do to help with this problem — please call me.
