As I look back now on these many months, since writing this post it's been nearly three years! - I can see the growth in me, but sadly I see I'm not in a relationship yet, I've not come out to my father yet - though I have to my mother, and I am still not in a church regularly nor do I feel accepted enough by my community to 'come out'. <br /> I guess I'm not very happy with my progress right now, a bit sad really. <br /> Dang!<br /> I have a long way to go. <br /><br />Thanks Jay. I needed this "look back".<br /><br />randyrandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-11827137174261096132013-01-27T14:15:55.009-08:002013-01-27T14:15:55.009-08:00randy,

I hid, and suppressed myself, for various reasons and over and over, until finally, I just couldn't any more. So I did it. I started coming out. It's been a process that has been both joyful, trying and at times, terrifying. <br /><br />I hope, as I read through your blog some more, I find more and more of the last line of your "A Bit About Me".<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-15409930233665972662010-07-26T05:53:33.873-07:002010-07-26T05:53:33.873-07:00Thank you very much bschroeder.

Please consider.<br /> Thank you for your comment. I am so sorry to be so late in finding it. I am still not sure how to set this darn thing so taht I see the new comments, so found this only by checking each post. <br /> I send you a hug. :)<br /><br />randy.randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-62690930209818100182010-06-14T09:12:06.058-07:002010-06-14T09:12:06.058-07:00Randy

Even as a child I could not grasp the concept that no woman were allowed to be priests. Weren't woman as important to God as men? As a child I had no idea what gay was other then meaning happy so that this factor never applied to my decision making process. To make a long story short, my god unequivocally loves everyone, no ifs, ands, or buts. <br /><br />I thoroughly enjoy your blog!

The church that I was baptised and went through sunday schooling, well...I was told I wasn't welcome. So, belief in God or a Supreme Being is different from "religious". After my experiences, "religious" means brainwashed from the pulpit of an angry little man who manipulates God's Word for his own purposes.randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-2924885839873942382010-05-02T16:11:44.044-07:002010-05-02T16:11:44.044-07:00Thanks Scottie.....a whole lot of kicks in the hea...Thanks Scottie.....a whole lot of kicks in the head can color one's perspectives.randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16659230610436922709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458786710697760224.post-71621183284435198732010-05-02T13:55:14.000-07:002010-05-02T13:55:14.000-07:00Hello Randy.

If a belief in a deity brings you comfort and well being, then that is a good thing that I support. I am not a religious person by current definition but I have nothing against anyone who does. I hope your writing will bring you the peace you were seeking then. <br /><br />Just one thing. More people care for you than you seem to know. The old saying, "give people a chance" comes to mind.<br /><br />I care about you.<br />ScottieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
