Can they really do that?

So I was listening to NPR news this morning. They had a story about that Morman sect that had a raid at their ranch. A few of the leaders were arrested and charges were brought against some of them for different reasons. Well this week one of the men was convicted with child sexual abuse, which I think is very fair. He had a "religious marriage" to a 15 year old girl. That just boggles my mind. Now they are charging him with bigamy. Now let me set something straight here...I do not think these people are living right. I think that the practice of marrying young girls is wrong and terrible. I aso believe that having more than one wife is wrong...but here is my thought....

How can they charge him with bigamy? Acording to the law he was really only married to one woman. He didn't try and put in marriage license for more than one marriage. He was only "married" to more than one through the church. And if we really have separation between church and state can they really count those as marriages?

How are they any different than a man who cheats on his wife? Or from people who have more than one sex partner? I just don't get this law. It seems to be a bit hipocritical.... I think if they are going to charge these men with bigamy then we need to start charging people who sleep with more than one person at a time...espcially those who do it while they are married. Don't get it. Don't think I ever will. But just thought I would say what I was thinking.

But I must end it with this. I am glad I serve the Lord! I am glad that I don't have to tie myself down with laws and rules that are not put on us by Christ. I serve a GREAT GOD!

Book Review: 5 Cities that Ruled the World

I am not sure how to begin this review. 5 Cities that Ruled the World is basicly a history book about Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, London and New York. It basicly goes to the start of each city and how the city was, is and will be important in our history. It's filled with facts and interesting sotries. If you are a history buff you will love this book.

For me I have to say I was not interested in this book. It had way too much information about each city and the author was hard to follow where he was going at times. I found myself reading parts over and over again just trying to figure it all out. I love history, but this was a bit too much for me. It felt like the book just kept rambling on and on, which it kind of did. There were parts of the books I loved. Some stories I just really loved to read. But really I ended up falling asleep way too much while reading this book! I would recomend this book if you love facts and lots of information. But if you are looking for a book to entertain you, I just don't think this is it!
