Recounting a recent incident from church, Marvin tells a story that includes his mentor, homosexual masturbation and the little sin of gossip.
The other day I received the following e-mail from Susanne, a woman who found out her some years ago that her husband has same-sex attractions. I felt so moved by her words that I asked her permission to share them with you on the blog. I (recently) saw your Doin Time... and I was the one who asked about your wife during the discussion period that followed. I just read your thoughts on What About the Spouse ....and I can say, most women who find out their husbands are gay feel ALL of those things you wondered about....some in more degrees than others... When my husband was dragged out of the closet because of his irreverent, immoral, and amoral behavior that our, then, 14 and 16 year old sons had to find on our home computer, I went into the closet. I didn't know what to pray for.... Do I pray that this will go away? Do I pray that he could go back to the way things were in our family before we knew about him,? Do I pray that I could go back to the way things were? After all ,...

Ya hit the nail on the head regarding gossip. Unfortunately, it's a lot easier to yell about gay people because they only compromise a small percentage of the community. But a much higher percentage of people gossip, including a lot of people who call themselves Christian. That's why it's called "sharing out of concern." Trust me, I know...I grew up in a church that mastered the art of that one!

Marvin, sorry to comment twice to one post, but I just remembered something! A friend of mine wrote a wonderful Biblical exegesis on over-eating. Maybe it might help your mentor to realise just how disgusting donut munching is in the eyes of God.
