Dear Dillon,

I thought about you this Wednesday while I was at church and I had to try and stop myself from crying. We were singing the song Rooftops by Jesus Culture and we got to the chorus and it says, “Here I am, I stand, with arms wide open, to the one, the son, the everlasting God.”

At that moment I go a picture of you in my head. You were standing with your arms stretched out like you always had them when you would be completely lost in the music and the song. You were singing that part at the top of your lungs. You were dressed all in white and that was the moment I knew that you were in Heaven. And it makes me so happy that I want to cry now.

I miss you but when you sing you get to see the face of the one you are singing to. You are so so lucky. I love you and miss you so much.

Love,
Adrian

To Much To Handle?

Leviticus 20:13, "If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act." This is the verse that started it all. This verse is clear. This is what Christian’s believe, what I believe. We are not forcing you to believe the same way as us. But we do not bash you for what you choose to believe. I personally think that Homosexuality is a choice. I believe this because I know that God would NEVER cause someone to be BORN into a sin that he says is detestable.

Everyone has a sin that from the time they are BORN is hard for them to handle. For some it’s stealing, killing, cheating, lying, or any number of other sins. But Homosexuality is the one that our society has told us is okay, it is less of a sin than any other sin. But the Bible says in James 2:10, “For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God’s laws.” All sins are the same.

I have read the comments here and I see people talking about loving your neighbor. Yes you should love your neighbor, something I was taught when I was younger that I still follow to this day is, “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” I have a friend who is Gay. When I found out I was shocked but I still love him just as much now as I did before.

#writertrouble

So here's the problem with wanting to be a writer. You have to edit. And when you have spent the last year pour your heart, soul, and sweat (our coffee exhaustion) into this piece of work, you tend to get attached. However when you edit you have to criticize yourself and completely rewrite your own work and its hard.

You get distracted because you don't want to take apart your work no matter how bad you know it is. However you have to, and now it is my turn to go through this process. I have finished my work and now I have to go through and edit it. Oh boy...
