Responses to Ezzell, Cameron letters
I WAS GLAD TO HEAR from David Ezzell (a man) and Kelley Cameron (a woman)
along with her wedded husband (a man, thank goodness) who acknowledged that mar-
riage between a man and a woman is scriptural. All else is unnatural, “love perverted.”
To David Ezzell, of whom I highly respect as I do all the Ezzell family. Your sister, Lau-
rie, knows I’m not like unto George Wallace or Bull Connor. Informed people (sensible)
know that the plight of homosexuals cannot be equated with the plight of black people 40
or 50 years ago. Homosexuality does not come under the moral gov. of God whereas civil
rights for all comes under our sacred Constitution that was instituted under, “In God we
trust.”
Just because I’m straightforward, right-winged, red neck, deviant, fundamental, out-
rageous, bigoted, cross-eyed, narrow-minded and endowed with a tunnel vision doesn’t
mean I don’t have enough sense to subscribe to the liberal Canadian Record, which I
delight to read.
Please turn immediately to page 29 for the rest of the story.
DAVID H. YOUNG
MARRIAGE WAS CREATED by God for a man and a woman and the first is recorded in
Genesis 2:23 -24. “And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she
shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave
his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
God clearly identifies homosexuality as sin. Jesus is absolutely inclusive in calling
for all to repent. Revelations 3:19 “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent.”
According to 1 Corinthians 6:9 those who fail to turn away from this sin will not see
heaven. “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not
deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers
of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,
nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
God clearly warns us not to be deceived. God gave his son and Jesus gave his life for
all of us.
Thank you David Young for standing up for Jesus and his sacrifice. Thank you for
promoting God’s word and love. Our feelings on this subject will not change the truth
found in God’s word!
It is a predictable shame when one is called a bigot for agreeing with our Creator and
Savior. I will gladly endure the criticism of the world for the praise of God.
In Christian love, RICHARD SENTER

Panama Canal expansion: What will Texas do?
AUSTIN—Plans are in the works for a Texas role
related to the Panama Canal expansion project
slated for completion in 2014.
Last week, the Texas Department of Trans-
portation announced the formation of a “Panama
Canal Stakeholder Working Group” whose mem-
bers will give input on road, bridge and port con-
struction here in Texas because of a projected in-
crease in land and sea traffic enabled by the canal
project.
“Preparing the state’s infrastructure for such
an expansion, in terms of sea and land-based in-
frastructure, is crucial to accommodating this in-
creased freight traffic,” said state Rep. Larry Phil-
lips, R-Sherman, chairman of the House Transpor-
tation Committee.
TxDOT said port, agriculture, trucking, manu-
facturing, government, oil and gas, and rail indus-
tries have been invited join the working group, and
recommendations from it are due by year’s end.
Harris County Judge Ed Emmett, a former state
representative and former member of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, will serve as chair,
and plans are for the working group to meet month-
ly for the next six months.
Work is underway in the Panama Canal to open
a new access lanes, build a third set of locks and
deepen navigational channels, with more than $5
billion in funding coming from the U.S., Canada,
United Kingdom, Japan, China, South Korea, most
European countries and Israel.
Having reached its maximum sustainable ca-
pacity of ship traffic several years ago, the canal,
which opened 100 years ago, was in need of the up-
grades.
Texas primaries May 29
Secretary of State Hope Andrade, Texas’ chief
elections officer, on May 21 put in a reminder to vot-
ers that May 25 was the last day to cast a ballot early
in the May 29,2012, Primary Elections.
Preliminary results of the primaries should be
available on May 30.
Voter turnout for presidential primaries in Tex-
as, like this one, has long trended higher than for
gubernatorial primaries and runoffs, but still is
quite low.
Recent history shows that in the March 2008
Primary Elections, 10.68 percent of all registered
voters voted in the Republican primary and 22.54
percent voted in the Democratic primary.
In March 2004,5.60 percent of registered voters
voted in the Republican primary and 6.84 voted in
the Democratic primary. And in March 2000, 9.70
percent voted in the Republican primary and 6.78
voted in the Democratic primary.
