• WHAT'S GOING ON?!

  I like this new Xanga experience. And I'm so glad to see so many of my favorite Xangans in this new Xanga adventure! Hello most beloved Xangans!! I have to give a huge Xanga shout out to John "GreekPhysique". I've followed John from my Blogger account for a long time. When I noticed John was still coming through on my feed, I visted his new Xanga 2.0, and from there simply signed into my own new site. John you are truly a beacon!!

  I have been busy. Nearly 3 weeks without a day off. I did have one day, but I was so tired one day in 3 weeks did nothing for me. On my next birthday I will be 50 years old, and I can't sling furniture the way I did in my 3o's and early 40's. If I keep up this pace it will no doubt become a killer pace. Fortunately I have a new employee. He is my only employee, and I don't know how I made it for a year and a quarter without him. And just so you know: My new employee is gay. Not only is my new employee gay, but I found out just the other day, one of my great nephews has come out of the closet, at school, and too his family. He's 14, and I'm not even a little surprised he's gay. In fact I'd be shocked if this kid weren't gay. My niece has been married 4 times, the last guy she married for a few months and had it annulled! she marries emotionally abusive douche bags. I know some of you will think calling someone a douche bag isn't Christian, but the truth is the truth, no matter how ugly. I'm certainly not saying the douche bags she marries are condemned to remain douche bags. Salvation by Jesus Christ takes away the douche baggieness of the world...Okay that isn't exactly how the Bible says it, but it's true none the less.

  So, do you think I'm freaked out that my new employee is gay? Do you suppose I am blown over by the fact my great nephew is homosexual?! Perish the thought. Jesus overcomes the world! What is gay in the face of God's unending, all powerful love, grace, and mercy?? Nothing!! I tell you, nothing stands up in the face of God's all powerful love, mercy and grace!! The only thing which scares me are religious people. I don't believe gay people or Jesus Christ for that matter have any chance or hope against religious people. Give me all the gay people, hooker people, drug addicted people, but spare me from the religious people!! When I talk about religious people I don't mean people who are truly born again, Spirit filled, Christ chasing, dying to self, religious people. I'm humbled by the Christ chasing, dying to self religious people. I am blessed, challenged, and well...BLESSED by those everyday saints.

  So do you know what I'm going to do about all this homosexuality I'm facing?? I haven't the foggiest idea what I will do. I thank God that I haven't got a clue what to do! I am watching and waiting for God to show up powerfully with his grace. I'm waiting for God to blow me completely away with how he wants to work through me to show love, understanding, and acceptance of these very hurt and broken people. And when I speak of acceptance I certainly don't mean accepting sin. When I speak of acceptance I am speaking of accepting people where they are right now. God will fix all that needs to be fixed through a life long walk in relationship with him. I couldn't fix myself, so I have nothing to give any other broken person. I completely rely on the wisdom of God to know how he wants me to walk with these young gay men. I get to see how God works and that is the greatest thing of all. I can count on God 100%. I on the other hand am a woeful failure. I am so grateful to know I am a woeful failure. There is a great deal less danger of me screwing up God's plans and works. So I am praying and expecting God to do amazing things in and through me, to show his love, grace, mercy, understanding and world overcoming power!

  Blessings!!!

  Lonnie
