The LGBT Christian

We are not damned. We are not liars. We are not blasphemers. We are not hypocrites. We are Christians. We are you.

The LGBT Christian

We didn't set out to kill the church; we're just like you, it's Him we search. If that's so wrong, where's your righteousness? Why are we called the liars, the condemned, the blasphemous?

We invited you in, but you kicked us out- we once held our faith, you filled us with doubt. We opened our arms and you closed the doors, we call you brother while you call us whores.

You show us we're unwanted and condemn us to Hell, but we're the ones showing up at the sound of church bells. You tell the divorcee it was good to leave, you tell us our love makes us wrong to believe.

You point out our sin and ignore your own, forgetting that we'll be equal in front of the Throne. You think it's okay when with sin to pick favorites, you call us wrong while living as hypocrites.

Christ is love and acceptance, not pick and choose; if that were the case, He wouldn't have saved you. In that grave, He buried our sin. He loves us now just as He loved us then.

You like to ignore it, but in God's eyes we're equal; no matter our difference, we're still all His people. If He sees no difference, why do you struggle? We're just a couple, but you call us trouble.

"You'll go straight to Hell," you often proclaim, you say I'm against God, but He knows my name. No matter what you say, it won't be erased. With or without you, I'll see His face.

Let us live, let us love, let us worship in peace. Put your hatred down, let fellowship increase. Christ is love and acceptance, we should be the same. Let's raise up as brothers, not put each other to shame.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
