I believe God loves you no matter what. Try the best you can in life and believe your maker will spare you.

As a heterosexual conservative, I have the same prayers.

I sometimes overlook posts when the exchange is rapid-fire, as it has been in this topic.

Big Ol' Willie, this is a wonderfully kind statement. It expresses so much love, in just a few words.

We all have a shared, and flawed, human experience. We all fall short in different ways.

After a spiritual trial, God changed Isaac's name to Israel (meaning "he who struggles with God")
I think we all struggle with God, to be close to Him, despite the imperfection we all feel.
And what we struggle for most in life is often what's most fulfilling.

One sinner to another, I'll pray for you, klinton.
