It was once said, “If you cannot be a wise person, at least be near them.” I really don’t think I could add to what Wendy shared. She is one of the smartest women I know, so I take her words respectfully. Wendy, thank you for adding your thoughts to the mix, it is better for them.
To Stephen, Curtis, Micheal, both my friends, and everyone who has participated or read this discussion, thanks for doing so. Hopefully we have all been stretched by this discussion, I am certain that I was.
And I really cannot think of any way to close this discussion out that is better than allowing my friend, who my initial posting was about, the last word. He just did so, and beautifully.
So, to end this discussion, at this time…
I have a friend who is gay.
Well, not really, that just makes for a good opening line.
The friend I am talking about would technically be considered a non-practicing male homosexual. He would also describe himself as someone who struggles with his same sex attraction.
My friend is mostly excited about the opportunity to be open about his life.
Mostly.
“Based on painful first-hand experiences, Jim tells gripping stories and asks courageous questions—while checking common clichés at the door. Asking good questions of God is better than learning good information about him. But Jim presents the reader with both. This book make me want to pull up a chair and have a conversation with the author—and with God Himself.”
