I hope all of you are well. I am sitting in my office contemplating my life and the messes that I often encounter due to my stupidity. However, today I am thinking of my son. My son told me a few years ago that he is gay. Let me set the stage for this. I am a conservative Baptist preacher that has preached the old fashion way for over twenty years. However, in the last few years, life has dealt me some serious blows that has forced me to rethink the ultra conservative approach. Things such as my own divorce, falling into a life I never dreamed of, finding and losing love and a major job change. However, one of these things is the fact that my son is gay. He says he feels like he was born to be gay. I have a problem embracing that issue. But, I do know that babies are born with emotional deficiencies and other life-long issues to deal with. Why can't gay people be the same? Paul says that we all have a thorn in our flesh and we all certainly have a cross to bear. God ensures us that through every trial, temptation or obstacle He will make a way out. Our sexuality is a deep, private and awkward situation. But my mind wonders if our sexuality and the choice therof will send us to hell. I have to go for now but please share your thoughts.
