The Raven Foundation

A few years ago, my wife and I started watching the reality television show Jon and Kate Plus Eight. We were hooked right away. After we put our own two children to bed, we raced down to our family room, turned the television to TLC and wonder how this couple could care for (actually, I think the appropriate word is handle) their eight children.

The Miss USA scandal involving Carrie Prejean, Miss California, and Perez Hilton, a celebrity blogger, continues to be a hot topic throughout the blogosphere. Hilton asked Miss California if she supported a recent ruling in Vermont that allowed for same sex marriage. Her answer was a bit confusing, but this is the essential part: “In my country, and in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that’s how I was raised and that’s how I think that it should be. Between a man and a woman.”
