Beggars are often seen in City Center Jerusalem. Do I keep my mind focused on things above (see COL 3:2) when I encounter a drunk, a drug addict or even a single mother with children? Do I judge and condemn them?<BR/><BR/>Jesus the Messiah delivered me from more than 20 years as an active lesbian and more than 30 years of drunkenness? He is our deliverer. Will militant, active homosexuals be viewed through the loving eyes of Christ here in Jerusalem? If not for the grace of God, I would be in the parade.<BR/><BR/>God bless you and much love to the West Coast from the City where the Messiah was crucified, where the power of God raised Him from the dead and where He will return. I love you.

I'm glad to see someone out there who isn't afraid to admit it!<BR/><BR/>I agree that they don't help the causes of homosexuals. In fact, I think that they most definitely hinder them.<BR/><BR/>I realize that there are gay and lesbians who do all the charity work that you (and I) described. My point in <I>this</I> particular blogpost was why don't the organizers and participants in this "World Pride" event stay home and use the millions of dollars that they <I>would have likely spent to push their agenda</I> in the faces of those who don't want them to hold such a decadent event in the holy city of Jerusalem? Why not be tolerant and respectful of other's views on this, graciously cancel the Pride on Parade show and put the money to better use?Christinewjchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18434229284833642438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12391603.post-1151541950623601182006-06-28T17:45:00.000-07:002006-06-28T17:45:00.000-07:00Hi!

Just dropped in from Mark's blog...<BR/><BR/>I just wanted to say that I really can't take those "Pride Parades". <BR/><BR/>They give us a bad name. Most walk around topless picketing over frivolous matters. <BR/><BR/>There are gay and lesbians who do support women who are battered, children who need parents, they help the sick and help the people who need it most. I know my partner and I contribute to the needy--so it's unfair to make statements as you did without recognizing some of the things that others do. <BR/><BR/>Aside from that, I do believe that the gay activists who are very aggressive in their approach leaves a bad taste in anyone's mouth. There are much more tactful ways to make your point or bring up certain issues.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy your day...!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.com
