I want to do this so badly…

1. I almost laughed as I read this. It seems the article could be summed up as “Talk to gay people like you do everyone else, because they are like everyone else.” I realize that not everybody has spent much time around someone who is gay, and that many people have been told that gay people are somehow evil and icky, so this is a pertinent message. I also realize not everyone has had bosses who are gay, spent time with people in long-term same-sex relationships (even marriages), or watched them lovingly parent beautiful little girls. It’s good for me to realize that, because it’s really easy to forget here in the Bay Area.

2. I pass this along both because it touches beautifully on the heart of the forgiveness Jesus calls us to exhibit to all, and because I’ve met Jeremy and he’s a really nice guy.

3. An intriguing post. I don’t know the science behind this really at all, but I do know that there are times Reggie will do something he clearly knows he isn’t supposed to and will show it in his body language before Kate or I can even say anything. He has this hunkered down quick slink away that only gets used when he’s willfully disobeying us.
