Beating up isn’t a good thing.
I’m trying to stay honest in my writing and move on.
The writing of amends is to heal me.
Years ago when Charles Colson was “born again” and decided to follow Jesus, he wrote many such letters from prison.
OK, I’m as straight as an arrow and I always put the little plastic clip back on the bread. Food is too damned expensive these days to waste and I refuse to eat stale or moldy bread. :^)
Thank you for bringing up Charles Colson. He said one of the best things I’ve ever heard about Christianity:
“I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren’t true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world-and they couldn’t keep a lie for three weeks. You’re telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible.”

What makes a young girl believe that she has any idea of what it feels like to be a boy or vice-versa?
Probably her school has told her that certain feelings are “girl” feelings and others are “boy” feelings.
I'd be lying if I said I have anything but contempt for the great majority of practicing queers. This woman in the story is very unusual. The rest deserve the contempt.
If some Christians want to take it on themselves to convert hardcore militant homosexuals, fine. Your success will be limited. Most of them are going to end up in the afterlife exactly where they want to end up (which is as far as possible from God).
“To declare - as a man: “I feel like a woman”, is non-nonsensical in that I don’t know what a woman feels like.”

Long ago and far away there was a “Mike Douglas show” on TV. On one show he had a guest, Jerry Vale maybe IIRC, who told a little “catholic joke” about two nuns who decided to “kick over the traces” and go out for a night on the town. They came back rather intoxicated and as they were sneaking through the fence to get back to the nunnery one turned to the other and said, “I feel like a Marine.” The other nun looked at her and replied, “Don”t be ridiculous, where are we going to find two Marines at this time of night.”
It really was an inspiring piece. It makes me want to try harder to impart the peace of Christ to others who are hurting and blinded by their harmful ways.
If you could get a transcript of his speech I would dearly love to read it. Thank-you for this post, which in some way I will try to emulate the love and clear-sightedness that was imparted.
God Bless you and yours, Kaslin.
Joke for after Sunday dinner. Thank-you! Although, I might change it to SEALs. I admire Cade Courtley of Surviving Disaster greatly.
No, but I’m not all that crazy about the disease-ridden, boy-raping whackjobs.
It's always their choice. ALWAYS.

The woman I overheard, was admitting it was a choice. How many will admit it? One in 50 or 100? Less than that?
But goody for us...we can pay $(fill in the number) to keep these poofs alive!
Great article, thanks for posting this.
Are you suggesting that fat people have to be homosexual? That’s a bit weird.
Yup. Well said.
My daughter told me a kid in her high school, a girl, now ids as a boy
...I identify myself as Tom Brady...think the Pats will pay me millions of bucks...?
