What I needed to hear was that my mom was proud of me and happy for me to be the person I am, not that I had made my mom sad and worried about me.keldiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792790114583941680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624110.post-18356347681063379592010-04-10T01:31:08.042-05:002010-04-10T01:31:08.042-05:00Thank you.

Because there is no point in denying the Good that can be found in the Bible. <br /><br />My frustration is with the Bible being used/manipulated for one's intent.

I've been trying to figure out how I feel about gay marriage. It seems like a non-issue to me. By that I mean- what's the big deal? Why not let gays marry? <br /><br />Like you, I look at my children and would be sad if one of them were gay.
