Peace be unto you.  I am assuming that if you are reading this you are seeking something. Whether you are seeking reassurance, self-validation, answers to life’s questions, peace or something else, if you are here you are acknowledging that you have a need.  I am hopeful that what I am offering will set you on the path to meeting that need.

If you feel you are struggling and from time to time and ask the question “why me -why me!” Why am I gay or lesbian?  Why am I picked on and bullied.  Why are people so mean?  Is there a God?  Sometimes this may be the burning question.  I assure you there is  a God and he cares for you. You may have at one time felt that you did not “fit in” at church.  You may have felt uncomfortable when the pastor spoke on sexuality.  Don’t run away and by all means don’t hide.  These scriptures have been selected just for you:

Psalms 59:1-2 (God hears the cries of his own)

Romans 5:1-5  (Accept and believe and you are justified by your faith – just like everybody else.)
