“Mom, are you still looking for Yuki?” I can’t help it. Even though my cat of fifteen years has been gone for nearly a week I keep hoping that she will come home. In every room of the house I find myself looking out the windows, pressing my face against the screen so I can…
For all the jabs that get tossed at Millennials (text-junky-visually-addicted-short-attention-span-I’m-entitled-to-whatever-I-want-right-now), there is one thing that I can say with confidence. They can smell a fake a mile away. My husband and I did youth ministry for ten years and we still get to wade in Millennial waters every now and then. (See adjacent photo of…
I saw the caption “Pentagon Taps Anti-Christian Extremist for Religious Tolerance Policy” while scanning through headlines this week. Then I read the article. It is an outrage. Here’s the gist: Mikey Weinstein is going to consult with the Pentagon on religious policies, including a policy for court-martialing military chaplains who share the gospel during spiritual counseling of…
“Gay marriage is a lie.” “Fighting for gay marriage generally involves lying about what we’re going to do with marriage when we get there.” “It’s a no-brainer that the institution of marriage should not exist.” You may have missed the story of prominent gay activist Masha Gessen’s surprisingly honest speech on the real goal behind her…
So back to the three sweet girls I mentioned in my last post. They asked me to state in two minutes my case for traditional marriage. Here it is: Millennials, if any generation understands the pain of fragmented family, it is you. Never before has our nation witnessed more children who are growing up outside…
I had a conversation with three of my favorite Millennials yesterday. What began as a chat about youth group dynamics ended up on the subject of gay marriage. They had met a girl who couldn’t consider Christianity because “the church is against gay marriage” and therefore the church “hates gays.” They talked about how in…
Have you ever been told that if God wants you to do something, then He will “open a door”? I totally used to buy that. Especially because when I prayed about a problem, it was often along the lines of, “Hey God, I already know what I’d like to do, but I need to check…
I have been reeling over the trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, abortion doctor and racist butcher of women. Haven’t heard about it? Only a precious few news outlets have had the balls to cover the story. Read it here, please, in all its grizzly detail. The blood of beheaded children, and that of dead and…
I forwarded “My Interview with a “Not Ex-Lesbian” Child of God,” to man at our church who identifies as a gay Christian. He came out to my husband and me a couple years ago and is one of our dear friends. While we chatted on Sunday, he shared that he too desires to make church…
Several months ago, I invited my friend to write a post on how the church can encourage those who experience same-sex attraction. This weekend she allowed me to ask her a few questions. Here is a portion of our interview: How do you self-identify? I identify as a child of God. I do not identify…
