I wrote this post a few years ago, and my brother who recently retired from the United States Marine Corps took great offense for hijacking his holiday. He has since gotten over it and said that he went too far, and also that he hates God, so that weighs in on this post. Hijacking was not my intent, and I wanted to share this with you today as it came to mind.
My stand for God's Word over the years in many areas has caused persecution, but in light of my understanding of plural marriage, it seems people would rather kill you for having two wives than for blasphemy, heresy, or any other offense. To those who have died to protect others, I salute you for your sacrifice. To those who can read this and see only that I used a secular holiday to bring our spiritual understanding, deal with it.
