The gay thing...It's a choice (part deux)

I have updated my earlier post twice now and realise I really should just make a second post.  As I said previously, the Divine has made me in Her image just like you and everyone else.

Some are left-handed, some are right.
Some are brown-skinned, some are white.
Some are blonde, with hair in plaits.
Some are gay and some are straight.

Your choice is what to do about it.  Before I talked about dealing with others.  Now I'm talking about you.

Do you accept who you are, what you are and why you are?

Do you deny these things, try to change them or loathe yourself because of them? 

Do you accept the gifts that the Infinite and Almighty have given you or do you spurn them?

Do you see the Christ within and the Christ in all?

Do you let others dictate your self-worth and value (as if they have the right to judge)?

It's your choice.

The gay thing...It's a choice, you know

People are created by the Divine in His image - black and white, tall and short, gay and straight, thin and fat, male and female, blonde brunette and red-headed.  The choice is what we do with that.

We choose to be racist, misogynistic or homophobic.

We choose to love others or to hate them.

We choose to include or exclude. 

We choose to be jerks or to be excellent to one another.


"There are set before you fire and water; to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand.  Before man are life and death, whichever he chooses shall be given him." (Sirach 15:16-17)

"Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make." (Duet. 30:19a)

Our choice.

Your choice.

Choose wisely.

Lessons from the Saints - Francis


"I have been all things unholy. If God can work through me, he can work through anyone."


"If a superior give any order to one who is under him which is against that man's conscience, although he do not obey it yet he shall not be dismissed."


"Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words."

What more can I add other than Thanks be to God.
