Thank you much. She's having some difficulties, but I think she'll be ok.

Our love, and that of God, is embracing you, dearheart.

Imagine, in your minds eye, all of us surrounding you and protecting you. Just concentrate on that image for now, and breath deeply and slowly, and try to let go of your fears for just this moment.

We love you.

Thank you both... it helps.

I'm just panicking over nothing probably... I think I'm just terrified at even the idea of losing one of the best things in my life, he won't allow himt o take us away from the school, but he won't stop trying=fear.

But this afternoon when I get really upset, I'll close my eyes and keep reminding myself of what you've said.

I wish to add my friend Kelly and her family to the prayer list. Her nephew was involved in head on car crash last week, he was a passenger, and his best friend was driving and was killed. Her nephew is grieving, and her whole family needs support.

Thanks, friends.

May the Creator bless all who suffer, all in need, all who worry, all who have died. May all tears be dried and mourning turned to rejoicing. May each creature receive everything he or she needs on this day and always. May peace reign in every heart and throughout creation.

Y'all, if you pray and need something to pray about, could ya squeeze me in?? I've been a night owl all my life and worked nights for 6 years. I'm having trouble sleeping at night and it's starting to affect my performance as a student. Plus, I have two papers that need to be done really soon. Thanks in advance!!

Smile help (and prayer would be good)!

so, here's the situation. i met with my RD (resident director) yesterday and she told me that the dean of women wanted to meet with me about the missing curfews and such. i said okay and we arranged for the meeting to take place today. here's how the meeting went down:

the dean of women said that an anonymous caller told them about my consumption of alcohol and lesbian activity. she wanted to know where i was honestly and i told them where i was but i didn't say that i'm gay (fine with it, well content with myself as the moment). i told them that my major struggle is objectification. and i think/hope they were satisfied with that.

the biggest hurt and disappointment of today is not that i had a meeting with people from administration but that someone stabbed me in the back. i am thoroughly pissed off. instead of being mature and confronting me (Matthew 18, if one wants to do this the "spiritual way"), they went over my head and told people who didn't really need to know. so i'm hurt, disappointed, and pissed all in one. i'll be better tomorrow, i promise.

anyway, tomorrow i have another meeting (follow-up) with my RD and i'm really nervous about what the verdict will be. please pray that i will have clarity of mind in knowing what the next action step is i should take.

Squirt,

Two things.

1. Do some honest reflection about how your use alcohol and ask yourself HONESTLY if there is a problem. if there is... deal with it. Accept whatever help is offered. The earlier you deal with it the easier and better it will be. Alcohol abuse is a common way for GLBT people to self medicate for the pain caused by homophobia. Its probably not the best way.

2. Information about your sexuality is YOURS. Concealing that information in a homophobic environment is NOT LYING !! Its is self-preservation. When straight people are willing to make transparency about our sexuality safe for us... we will be transparent. As long as hiding is necessary for self-preservation and safety... we hide.

OK, here goes. I didn't realize how much I needed prayer about this until I got into some pm's with dsdrane about it. I can't go into details but because of some civil/legal action I had to take, there is a slight chance my life is in danger....SLIGHT!!!!! this action will ruin a man's career and livelihood (as it rightly should) but I don't know for sure what the reaction will be. I dare say that my children and perhaps even my ex-wife are in danger as well. So, I guess I'm saying that depending on this man's desperation, it's possible that my family and I are in danger. I HOPE this isn't the case, but then, I can't estimate what the guy is capable of doing, nor his emotional state when faced with the prospect of this action.

Hopefully, I will have more information soon. so, please keep me and my family in your prayers.

Keep us up to speed as we lift you up in prayer.

Keltic,

You are in our prayers. Take all reasonably precautions and then do what you what you think is the right thing.
