Even the smallest mustard seed can grow
It’s always scary to LGBTQ in my headlines. The people I most want to talk to are afraid of it.
When you have a strong belief system that doesn’t affirm the LGBTQ community AND you have a loved one who is a member of that same community, things can get a little dicey.
Even hearing the language common to being LGBTQ is offensive to some people, right on down to an acronym. We all do this about things we don’t like. …

a.k.a Love the Sinner, Hate the Sin isn’t in ANYBODY’S Bible
A funny thing happened on the way to this blog post. I was finishing up another piece, and I thought of a note I had written. Somewhere. I am not exactly what they call “organized”. At all. Add to that a short-term memory span of about 10 minutes, and you can see where this is going, can’t you?
So, there I was, distracted me on my mission to find the note to create the things to make the money? Easy, yes? Not so much. Distracted me can find a rabbit hole in a fox den.

And How to Do it Anyway
“I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.” Pablo Picasso
I would love to tell you how learning to become a genuine ally for the LGTBQ person in your world will come naturally and easily, especially if you have a deep abiding faith in God. The problem is, for many faithful believers, it’s hard. It feels like asking a believer to throw away everything they have ever believed to be the truth. Ugh.

L is for Learning All You Can
In my new adaptation of LGBT, the letter L stands for learning. No matter what your EMOTIONS are telling you when your loved one comes out, I can guarantee you that choosing to learn more about things is going to open doors to conversation and communication in your life- if you’re willing.

And Start Praying for Your Heart Instead
It’s time to stop spending your prayer time asking for your LGBTQ loved one to wake up straight. You only wind up filled with anguish and pain, which your human mind turns that pain into anger instead of helping you find a way to keep your family from imploding in such a difficult time.
STOP Trying to Pray Away the Gay
If you’re like me, when you first learned someone in your family is gay, lesbian or transgender, you hit your knees. You poured out your pain in tears and pain. You cried out to God and empathized with Job. …
