Listen....

So on point!!!

Is Sexuality Fluid???

Sexuality is Fluid....
I don't mean like: you wake up and turn gay (p.s. no one “turns gay”—that phrase kills me)
I was attracted to this Lesbian who was very masculine..Would I act on it? Iono but i remember forgetting she was a she and just concentrating on how sexy she was…
when it comes down to it attraction is not about parts, but rather the essence of the person standing in front of you!

This is a post from How to be Nola Darling (deux) a great tumblr site that I follow.  It got me to thinking coupled with a question about my sexuality from a friend lately.  The fact that I have never dated I have been asked on a few occasions (from a few bold people) was I a lesbian. Question took me off guard, but it also made me think.

I can say no I am not a lesbian, but I can see how sexuality can be fluid. Have I ever been attracted to a woman, yes, but that woman had very masculine traits, and some of my attraction was can I say....complicated, it was more about the person than the gender. I love men and what I desire when I am with a man that I am attracted to, but can't say the same thing about a woman. But I totally agree with his last statement....the essence of the person standing in front of you.

What are your thoughts on the subject? 

God Hates Fags

I am assuming title made you read my post....Guess who will be at my church protesting our services on Sunday.....

Westboro Baptist Church!!! I was totally shocked when my pastor announced this at church on Sunday. I have heard about what they do, but never would have thought that my church would be on the radar. I then looked at their website and realized we were one of 3 stops they will make while in Nashville...but we are the only majority African American Congregation. Here is the reason listed on their website of why they are targeting our church:

Mount Zion Baptist Church 7594 Old Hickory Blvd WBC will picket the whorehouse masquerading as a church named Mount Zion Baptist Church. The mega-churches of this nation preach smooth lies for filthy lucre's sake. They know that in order to get the most behinds in the pews and the most money in the collection plate, they have to censor the Lord Jesus Christ's preaching about Hell. The truth is, the Lord Jesus Christ spent more time preaching about those bound for eternal damnation than salvation! Matthew 13:49-50 "So shall it be at the end of the world, the angels shall come forth and sever the wicked form among the just. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

When I read this....I was like really??? This is how they choose to describe my church?

I have begun to do my research on them now and begun to read about what they stand for and what they do at these protests. First thing that stood out that the church's website was pure hate. I do know I don't agree with their methods and that they stand for, and I really do not like the fact they do it in the name of God....no wonder people have a jacked up view of Christianity when they see people like this.

Although I am working that day and will more than likely not have any interaction with them or even see them protest I truly pray for them. My pastor asked those with a "Peter" spirit to try not to cut off anybody's ear that day and I pray people listened. I say kill the protesters with kindness and love :-) I say give them doughnuts and water as they protest, I know they will get tired of walking and yelling in the hot sun.

Sunday will be interesting and I wonder what will come of it and how the news media will portray what happens that day. All I do know is that the God that I serve is a loving God and I choose to show love instead of hate.
