Why is it that the picture of the pastor always portray him as achieved perfection? They are always sitting and smiling with their spouse in an expensive outfit. Are they trying to say to everyone that we are above you and if you come here you can see it?

There were other ways to stand for convictions without further hurting a grieving family and without treating homosexuals like second class people.lownote67https://www.blogger.com/profile/04148918078563251773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386391.post-86928413403254803512007-08-11T18:38:00.000-07:002007-08-11T18:38:00.000-07:00John,Geez!
