I believe that we are more than the sum of our parts.<br /><br />Josh, your words of blessing and appreciation are a warm breeze that keeps me sailing along. I am going to save your quote and add it to the <a href="http://jesusinlove.org/aboutjil.php" rel="nofollow"> “What others are saying” section</a> of JesusInLove.org next time we do a website update. You focused on my exact goal (“to reach LGBTQ's with the love of God”), so it is high praise indeed to hear that you don't know anyone who does that better than me. It is by God’s grace that I am able to do so. <br /><br />Thank you, Josh and Trudie, for being part of the living “communion of saints” that surrounds and uplifts each other this purpose.Kittredge Cherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617858676733169316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29680163.post-71842634320330268152011-12-14T11:47:42.564-08:002011-12-14T11:47:42.564-08:00I posted Loreena's video today too on our Dail...I posted Loreena's video today too on our Daily Office website, because you sent it. I think my congregation's pretty conservative, but I'm not sure about that, and I want to welcome everyone who's interested, including the New Age crowd. Any portal to Juan de la Cruz is a good thing.<br /><br />You provide an amazing service. Sometimes I think you go too far (but so what?). I don't want or need a sexualized Jesus.<br /><br />But it's very, very important to reach LGBTQ's with the love of God, and I don't know anyone who does that better than you. Gene Robinson, maybe? He has his style, you have yours. (For that matter, I have mine.) <br /><br />Just know that I read you every day; you do good work and spread Good News; and I don't have to agree with your every decision to know that you are becoming an Apostle to the Suffering and the Happy.<br /><br />Sail on, girl, into warm, steady winds.<br /><br />Josh Thomas<br />dailyoffice.orgJosh Thomashttp://dailyoffice.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29680163.post-9936310578299898842011-12-14T09:59:54.363-08:002011-12-14T09:59:54.363-08:00This is an exceptional post.

You are so generous in the way you share the work of so many artists!Trudiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17866513608442388870noreply@blogger.com
