Pride goeth before the fall...

     As June comes to a close, I was thinking about how President Obama proclaimed this month to be Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month. He made the same proclamation last year. 
     Love one another... yes. And treat others with the dignity they deserve as God's children... of course.
     But homosexual and transgender pride? A nationwide Presidential proclamation?
     I can see being proud of our accomplishments. Even when we have gifts and talents, thankfulness is in order, rather than pride... for they are gifts given by the grace of God. But pride in our sexuality for its own sake? Really??
     The president stated in his proclamation: "Our nation draws its strength from our diversity, with each of us contributing to the greater whole." 
     Mm-hmm. 
     Excuse me, Mr. President... America does not get her strength from our diversity. Our strength comes from our unity. Under God. Through Him. With Him. In Him. 
     But you are so busy agitating and dividing, and marginalizing God, that you seem to be incapable of acknowledging the truth. Not in a million proclamations.
     Next time you want to instruct the American people to feel some pride for lifestyle choices that fail to appreciate our true human dignity... How about you try a little humility.
