Doing the Lord's work

I seem to be of a religious bent today, at least with my headlines. But it really struck me, reading this story, about what it means to have the courage of your convictions.

It's one thing to go door-to-door in Madison asking for signatures on petitions for a referendum on the war in Iraq. It's quite another to knock on doors in Waukesha on the gay marriage amendment. But that's what these folks are doing, and having some success.

Their legislators say their minds are made up, of course. But maybe this canvass will have some impact on the referendum itself, which seems certain to be on the ballot next November.

And, yes, I do think that advocating tolerance is the Lord's work. How would Jesus vote?
