I hope the black community realizes: Obama will only be president for four more years or a few more months. Supporting gay marriage changes everything permanently. I pray black people of faith will follow, the rock, Jesus Christ and not the crock, Obama. "The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our Lord stands forever." Isaiah 40:8
Amen! Praise the Lord.
