The lies it requires and the compartmentalization it demands can lead people to places they never truly wanted to go, and for which they have to take ultimate responsibility." <br /><br />Pray for the soul of the Rev'd Brent J.

I am struggling so much between wanting to honor, respect and maintain connection with those who disagree with me on this issue and my growing impatience with the injustice and harm that our present standards cause. <br /><br />I think the television station has some culpability in this situation. I hope the ratings were worth it.Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036519649244011605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33185052.post-80702350697357002002007-01-16T12:58:00.000-05:002007-01-16T12:58:00.000-05:00How horribly wrong and sad.
