It would also be impossible to live together like that and stay above reproach, after having that relationship previously.
I agree with this!

Somewhere between here and the north pole my husband and I had an aquaintance named Bob... well Bob was a new convert and a little strange to boot. So one night around midnight he calls our house and tells my husband..."you'll never guess what the devil pulled on me tonight!!!"
So my husband said... "well??" Bob said " I felt the Lord leading me to go driving down by the bars tonight and witness, and you'll never believe what the devil pulled!!! A prostitute jumped right in my car and put the moves on me!!!.. RIGHT IN MY CAR!!!! Can you believe what that devil did?!?!?!"

Oh, how I wish you could all meet Bob.

Sorry for the hijack... carry on!

Oh my bil has a funny one about a new convert testifing about, after years of not getting along with his neighbor-the Lord helped them settle it all by going down to the bar and having a beer together!

He was thanking and praising God for what He has done.

Re: Gays, family ties and opening up....

Just so everyone knows this thread should not and will not be about my situation. I do want everyone to know that God is a God that set people free from temptations. Infact with my situation it was VERY minor to most people, but major to me. It has taken my close to 20 yrs to able to talk about this. I feel that it is time for the test to moving into the testimony.

I would appreciate if anyone has a personal question for me or whatever PM me so I can answer anything you want to ask. If anyone reading this is struggling with the temptation or even if it has become an addiction and you want to talk by PM feel free to contact me. Believe me one of my best friends brother died of AIDS that he contracted through a homosexual lifestyle. So I have been through it all. Before my friends brother passed away he testified at church about his choice to be gay and what not. He said that he would rather die of AIDS and go to heaven than for God to heal him and there ever be a chance of turning his back on him. The brother has been dead over 10 yrs. Again if any of you want to ask me questions let me know by PM.
