Thank you
Words cannot describe how it felt to come home from visiting my mother in the hospital to find scores of comments and emails from folks who only know me as Real Live Preacher.
Your kindness and love made a real difference in the way I responded to this event. I felt very loved.
Thank you.

To the 40 Christians who emailed 500 to 2000 word rebuttals of my analysis of the bible texts that deal with homosexuality:
I will respect you in this way. I will read your emails. All of them. I probably will not respond. It's too much work to argue/discuss this issue any further, and I am moving on. I'm at peace with the way I am reading the bible.
I've struggled with the bible all of my life. I believe it is far less clear than many of you would like. On this issue, I have chosen my path and will stick by my interpretation.
Perhaps there will come a day when we meet "The Man Upstairs", as folks in Texas sometimes refer to God. On that day, I will know and be known. I believe Grace will cover the sins of honest seekers of scriptural truth. Since none of us read the bible the same way, we better hope so.
