Good Tuesday morning. I hear thunder out and apparently, we are in for more rain today.
It is fine with me.
I am happy, joyous and free today. It's good to be alive and healthy and I hope all of you are feeling well and doing well.
I just E-mailed Hillary Clinton. I asked her to please change her stance on abortion. I will not be able to vote for her unless she does. I doubt seriously that she will - that subject is so polarizing a topic, especially for women's rights.
When I decided as a 57 year old to convert to Catholism, I was ready and prepared to believe the precepts and doctrines of then Catholic Church. That is in all ways. I am no longer sexually active and have no plans of being unless the Good Lord sends a man into my life for marriage.
I had no idea when that Danielle's words to me, when I told her I was becoming a Catholic, would ring so true in my life. On the issue of abortion and being gay, she told me that her opinion was that, if I could not agree with the Church teachings on these issues that I was disingenuous. Those words hurt but, upon searching my conscience and much prayer, I realized that she was correct.
Now, I realize this may drive some away from me but, we all must answer to our God Conscience. I am doing what I believe that God has for me to do in the things I read and the way I feel comfortable interpreting.
That is what we all must do. I do not feel judgemental about other gays and how they live. I may not be a part of some activities today but, we all must do as we believe we are called to do in our best understanding.
I believe that I have been hesitant to share this part of me to anyone except my Sponsor and boss but, to be open and honest with you, my friends and family, I give you me. Some may decide that I have nothing that they want. I must be prepared for that. If you can not except me as I am now, I understand and will hold you in high esteem and wish you well.
I admit, I have been fearful of sharing this with you. But, I must now. I want to live as a devout Catholic comfortably and be open and honest with my friends and family.
May God bless each of you and keep you. Thank you for allowing me to share - finally.
Now, my soul can rest in peace and I can go on to do God's work without having feelings of lying by omission.
Peace be with all of you.
I am Grateful and Thankful...
to have the courage to tell you my Truth today
God's Grace

Well, I must say that's a bit of a bombshell.
I certainly respect your wishes and motives although I may not agree with your ideas. Surely you aren't criticising your HP's handiwork. I hope this doesn't mean you'll stop coming to Lambda.
Hope to see you soon!
I am so grateful we live in a country that lets us worship as we please. I sure don't want someone telling me what God I have to serve. And our beautiful program of AA lets us find the God of our understanding. I am glad you found yours and I hope it brings you freedoms you never dreamt of.
