Mr. Foley,
I just wanted you to know that people are praying for you. We are concerned about you.
Yes, you have made some mistakes. It's now time to dust yourself off and recommit to being the man you know you are.
In the Bible, Paul talked about "being in the race" where the goal was to be like Jesus. And he acknowledged that he messed up a lot. But he said, "this is what I do. I get back up and I get back in the race."
Mr. Foley, know that your mistakes do not define you, but your response to the mistakes does.
I pray that you will be surrounded with the protection & peace of God during this time in your life. I pray that you will see yourself the way God does and that you will forgive yourself.
From one gay man to another, let me tell you loud and clear that you can be gay and live a life of integrity. You can be gay and be a person of faith, of leadership and power.
I'm praying for you, Mr. Foley.
Sincerely,
Nate Black
