I went to a new church this morning, was invited a time or two, can't remember a name.
I do remember them saying, no demonination did it proclaim;
the implication being, that, His LivingWord, was bottom line, the Holy Spirit, was an active member, and, Jesus, is: the name, above, all names.
It seemed, oh so, familiar, my spirit began to soar, as I went down the aisle, on that beautiful hardwood floor.
I sat near the front, right on the aisle, smiled at the choir, and looked around, awhile.
The music started, the pastor came in, and the choir,
began to sing.
Then, nearly 2000 people, including your's truly,
all joined in.
We stood and sang and praised His Name, and gave Him the glory, too,
The hymns were filled with power, portending, great things, that might,
this, very morning, ensue!
The announcments came next, and there were quite a few,
lots of, committees, with, lotsa, stuff to do.
When they were done, I, unfortunately knew,
I had to leave, right, NOW, or condone, something God, abhors,
thru and thru.
I got up and walked back up the aisle, neither, scowl, nor smile, on my face,
I wanted, just, to leave quietly, with dignity and, grace.
But, as I went thru the doors and turned, still, in stride,
three of the ushers, were right there, at my side.
Why are you leaving brother, is everything OK ?
I just looked them in the eyes and prayed; they'd just let me,
walk away.
Then two, began at once and I stopped them in their tracks, said: Homosexuallity, is something God hates, detests, and abhors, yet
you seem to think it's fine;
nothing more or less, than having a,
couple of glasses, of wine.
We're not to hate them, but we are to hate all sin;
making it normal, acceptable, and fine, however, is a stance, that can never, God's favor, win.
What I can't figure out, what makes me ponder, wonder, and fret,
is: Just, what about,
Detest, Abhor, and, Abomination,
Don't you, get?
You shall not lie with a male, as with a female;
It is an abomination! Lev. 18:22

Boy, have I missed you and your work, Twin Brother!
This is another mega-powered ROCK-et, you have just launched! May it hit its target - the hearts of those who need the LORD the most..
Praise God for your courage TO tell them, Rock...just like Jesus did, without judgment or condemnation...He simply loved them enough TO tell them...because He knew He was going to die for them, too.
It breaks my heart to see it...when they talk to me about it...I ask one question: IF IT ISN'T ABNORMAL, THEN WHY DOES ONE OF YOU PRETEND TO BE THE "OTHER" SEX? THAT GOES FOR FEMALES, TOO.
THE ARROW REACHES...AND THEY JUST STARE...OPEN-MOUTHED, SHOCKED. BUT, AT LEAST, I CAN WALK AWAY, WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE, KNOWING THEY "GOT IT"...AND EACH PERSON IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT THEY KNOW.
YOUR SABBATICAL SERVED YOU WELL...BUT WELCOME HOME! :)
SORRY FOR THE CAPS, BUT MY EYES HURT ..I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND.
LOVE YOU SO MUCH MORE! SIS
Powerful yes as in the days of Lot we return to sin and condone it and it still is to him the Holy One an lot of abomination. He created us man and woman and equal. Good to see you again.
Blessings, Peace,
