| When I could finally feel the ground
under my feet again, I put my arms around John,
gave him a big hug and told him how much I loved
him. We both shed a few tears. I praised God. Wait
a minute, praised God??? Yes. |

been invited and willing to come. |

| A Mother's Story |
|
| As a toddler, Jennifer loved books, but I pushed for dolls. She loved wearing pants, I argued for the dresses. I loved fairy tales, but she loved the encyclopedias and National Geographic. Jennifer was artistic and gifted. I was the school drop out with disabilities and a testimony that read much like the "woman at the well." |

| A recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle touted the merger of 1,400 ‘open and affirming’ churches (meaning churches that affirm homosexual identity and behavior) with the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. The article stated that leaders in the gay rights movement consider their biggest challenge to be that of convincing Christians that homosexual behavior is not a sin. |
