Leon and I have been dealing with health issues - his heart procedure and the after care (which was not supposed to involve hours and hours in the emergency room or be difficult at all) and my endless aches and pains and trying to keep up with the activities of daily life...so I've not been following blogs - or writing in my own blog - of late (the older I get, the less I have to say about anything). As a matter of fact, I believe that will continue for the foreseeable future and beyond. I just want you to know I may check in now and then without leaving a comment. Keep up the good work. Keep on truckin'. -Frank; March 24, 2024 at 8:37 AM

Prayer for Peace

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Churches say that the expression of love in a heterosexual monogamous relationship includes the physical, the touching, embracing, kissing, the genital act - the totality of our love makes each of us grow to become increasingly godlike and compassionate. If this is so for the heterosexual, what earthly reason have we to say that it is not the case with the homosexual?

It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be homosexual. You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.

If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.

--Archbishop Desmond Tutu
