they're glad to be missing that!

As some of you from Saturday know, I went and saw my mom on Sunday for the first time in a couple of months. It was great to be back home. I didn't get out to the cemetery this time, though. I'm sure Dad understands. He was probably there in the house in spirit anyway.

Make the most out of your time with them, Chris. Have a blast!

Thanks, Todd!

awww.... my parents spent Wednesday out & about in L.A. while I was at work. Dad picked up a book for me:

A Theology of gay and Lesbian Inclusion: Love Letters to the Church:

Hanway, a retired Episcopal priest, wants to equip Christians to advocate on behalf of gays and lesbians, and to speak with love and respect to those who disagree. He writes as a pastor, offering 10 open letters to the church in defense of homosexuals, often using their own words and descriptions of the prejudice they have encountered. These faithful homosexual Christians, Hanway says, did not choose their orientation, but have dealt patiently and faithfully with the difficulties of being misunderstood. Hanway also discusses the Bible's teachings on homosexuality, emphasizing that the Gospel is indeed "good news" for all people. The book is strongest when Hanway is sharing the personal stories of gay people who discuss their faith and their hopes for the future.
