We then show up for church regularly for treatments and checkups. Sometimes it seems our disease is in full remission, just like at the moment of our baptism...and other times it seems to flare up and we begin to get sick again. We're afraid of what the doctor's going to tell us if we go back to the clinic next Sunday, so we feel tempted to stay away. But if we go in sometimes we have to tolerate a painful procedure to get the built up infection out and we go into remission again.

It's like having cancer. You live one day at a time. Some days are good. Some are bad. Sometimes the disease gets the best of us. Sometimes we have stretches of health with the wind in our hair and the sun shine on our shoulders.

We're all sick. We're all taking treatments. We all need each other because when this thing flares up we don't need a judge...we need a friend.
i wholeheartly agree- it is like cancer it eats you up all the time, sometimes medicine does not even work, only the spirit of God delivers
i want to write more at a time but i have a nose bleed so i am trying to write what i can, and when i can. but this is a good discussion, i have to say i have learned something tonight

These are studies where you have identical twins who were separated at, or shortly after birth so as not to have any influence over each others lives. When a pair if identified, it becomes a gold mind to scientists doing genetic research.
They examine a ton of different things, but in these studies if ONE brother or sister was gay, there was a high likelyhood that the other one was as well.

Father...touch my sister. I ask that you do the work of healing that needs to be done bringing peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus name.

Live4him, God bless and keep you. I'm getting real tired. We've got church tomorrow and I'm going to be a zombie. So I've got to head to bed. I pray everyone has a blessed evening.

God bless.

Uh oh! I wonder what the "it's purely a choice" crowd has to say about this.

i have a friend who has a brother that is gay and anyway she got married when she was young to a nice man, but she divorced him later years and is now gay herself, so are you saying no matter if they are twins at all, it could still happen, it runs in the family,

We're just talking about a strong predisposition.
