A Dream I Have...

As I have said before, I find myself researching a lot of topics having to do with homosexuality, the church, coming out, Christianity and what the Bible says about these topics, and a lot more. When I looked at my Google history today the topics that I had searched for ranged from "coming out to parents," How to spell the word "bidet," (don't ask) and "coming out, standing for truth." Quite a variety!

One of the most thoughtful and important searches that I have done recently has been the words "father of a gay son." I have been wanting to read stories from fathers of gay sons and how they reacted, how they have grown and what these varied experiences have looked like for these families.

I don't just search for these topics out of a thirst for knowledge or neuroticism, I look for stories that will provide hope and a chance to believe that good things can happen. 

During this search about father and son relationships, I discovered an article written by a father of a gay man. The process this man went through, with and without his son, is beautiful. I can only hope that my father can get here and that I will have the patience to walk with him until he does.


Trust me, it is well worth your time!
