Random though...Thank you for your comments, Edward. Random thoughts: Shame is a very powerful thing. It has been used by others against us, and we have used it against ourselves. Speaking from my own experience, we cannot embrace our dreams if we are too paralyzed by fear. But allowing ourselves to pursue our dreams brings power that can be used to defeat fear.Joseph Broomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678836529467409126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338103888113272518.post-5378534135185113622014-05-17T09:40:51.086-06:002014-05-17T09:40:51.086-06:00So well put and how true!

Still, it would be nice if the church could recognize that there are other dreams that are just as legitimate and as deserving of respect. I am a man and I love a man in every sense of that word - romantically, emotionally, spiritually and physically. I am not a murderer. I am not a thief. I am not a molester. But for many Mormons I am lumped in the same category and treated as evil for following my dream.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14364484623565981392noreply@blogger.com
