more nerves of steel.....

ok, so i forgot mention that on my drive to lexington last night, my colleague got herself on a rant about alternative lifestyles......and how she is so disappointed in the person in question (someone i used to work with)....and how disapoointed his parents must be, being such good christians...to have a son who has made the choice to be gay.....and not to let it drop there, she went on to tell me about her gay relatives, and how hard it is to be around them at family events.....because she fears that her grandchildren will get ideas.......oh my.......i hear so little of this kind of foolishness that i was not prepared to respond to every and all of her assertions......while i did say that i do not believe that it is a choice, rather a biological state of affairs...i SHOULD have said that it is a God-given state....and that since God doesn't make mistakes...there must be something redeeming about it.......and that if one asked wwjd.......he would love that neighbor as himself and emrabce that neighbor for what goodness he had to bring to the table....rather than avoid him and condemn him......ah well......this reminds me of the on-line business i read about christian groups accusing spongebob and other cartoon characters of being a promoters of the gay lifestyle.......my but that is a stretch.......particularly since even the Bible states that Jesus had a particular disciple that is often referred to as 'the disciple that Jesus loved'........it would be quite fitting if Jesus himself had been gay...given the gay bashing that his followers have embraced....just as outrageous but true as Hitler bashing the Jews when he was one himself........but back to my ride to lexngton last night.......this is a person who i have known for almost 2 decdes, and from what i know of her she should not throw stones.......and that did bring a smile to myself as i listened to her do the same.......
