Thank you so much Sailor and Cindy! I love the story of your change of heart.

Man. . . has anyone read some of those comments? We got comments like that on ours too.

You may not know that my mother was also with us but sharing this time with her was very special.
We got to spend the evening with U-dog and Polly, went out to eat and just rested our spirits with these two wonderful new friends. My mom loved them as well.
Before the event my mother decided that she wanted to share with her best friend what she was doing and how she felt about GLBT and let her know what Cindy and I were doing.
Now understand we are talking about a very conservative Wesleyan, a wonderful person but not high on the list of who you might expect to be accepting to these radical ideas.
Her response was, "you know, I never thought about it that way, I think you are right. Tell Tim and Cindy I will be praying for them"
Now this woman is a praying machine so I really appreciate that.
I keep finding love in all the wrong places, for which I am grateful.
Cindy and I have grown more as a couple, grown more in our faith, have sparked life into us that we haven't felt for a while. What we are receiving from this experience far more than we can give.
I look at everyone differently because of this journey, not just GLBT.
Thank you all for your loving support and encouraging words as I have "come out" to my true feelings about this issue.
Carolb, once again you and your husband have changed my life forever, thank you.
We are finding support all over the place, it just is coming from places we would have turned away from in the past.
If Christ isn't for all of us he is not for any of us. Live free in him, rest in him, hear his words and not those of people that use him to condemn. God does not see us as we see ourselves or each other.
There is a song that says when others see a shepherd boy, God may see a king.
