More than anything, He wants you to believe that. To trust Him. The moment you do, when we believe He is who He said He is... beautiful things happen.

I say that not as a "fix all" but as an encouragement. And saying that, reminded me all over again as well....

I'm not sure. I hear both arguments. I think we should be a civilization in 2010 that respects each other. We don't have to all agree that homosexuality is a societal norm to believe tolerance and loving people can be a societal norm. But even if the American public don't come to that conclusion, I would hope followers of Jesus would lead the way.

Whether the timing is right (while we are at war) or not, to me becomes the issue. That, and resolving how this changes things with regard to openly gay men living in close quarters with other men.
