He feels guilty about him being gay. At the beginning when I found out I went beserk and through him out the house. That night he came back to apologize and I cried and told him he had nothing to apologize for. I love him so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539220474441789865.post-49206044913744778122010-05-30T09:49:22.986-04:002010-05-30T09:49:22.986-04:00Well said!!Well said!!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12542087006025857026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539220474441789865.post-27733624242859462792010-05-17T19:34:41.520-04:002010-05-17T19:34:41.520-04:00I had missed this one.

Those irresponsible, living off my tax dollars women who needed to be sterilized so they didn't have yet another love child.<br /><br />I fumed at this characterization. How dare they, when most of these teen moms had been denied the father they so desperately needed. Besides, save grace, I could have easily been in their shoes.<br /><br />Then in the next breath they were angry yet again about abortion! I'm a very, check that VERY pro-life Christian, but you cannot be pro-life and anti-children. We are to take care of the widows and orphans, and these women are sometimes both.<br /><br />I say yank the ships hull out of your own eye, so you can clearly see what you are condemning. Truth be told, I have to do this daily, as I sit here condemning the condemner.CCK Mediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10436993516097743550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539220474441789865.post-58869731551786405422010-04-15T17:18:25.458-04:002010-04-15T17:18:25.458-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.gigimae101https://www.blogger.com/profile/14176410074386574711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539220474441789865.post-78619662330691966302010-04-15T17:15:11.352-04:002010-04-15T17:15:11.352-04:00Well call me a "freak lover" because I h...Well call me a "freak lover" because I have friends that are all in the closet about at least one sin in their life that they don't want made public.

While I struggle with the how to hate the sin and love the sinner, it frustrates me when I'm "supposed to" shun people b/c their sins are "public" or not one of the acceptable sins.

I say yes, and amen to what you wrote. I know that I am not in any position to be casting a stone at anyone. Jesus commands us to love EVERYONE, not just the ones that make us comfortable. I agree that gays can be some of the most kind people out there in the world. Love on them with the love of Jesus!gaileh718https://www.blogger.com/profile/09913375305845658162noreply@blogger.com
