I'm finally taking the plunge!
Get ready anonymous world of gay Christians who blog, there's a new boy in town.
Man, even as I sit here and think about it I'm pretty sure a nice hug would bring more healing than a week's worth of blogs and rants.

I've finally made my official debut into the gay Christians blogosphere!
(Mark your calendars, haha!)
Man, this whole “outing” myself online is taking quite a bit of work and effort but it's well worth it. I can't wait to establish some great, meaningful relationships with even more godly Christian men who truly understand my struggle.
God has been systematically redeeming every experience of my past and, at some point, it's going to catch up with my present. I think certain aspects already have!

I've decided I'm going to tell (Phoenix) and his dad about my struggles with homosexuality.
I have a little less than two weeks to prepare for the Monday meetings. I'm already planning out the whole process in my head. I'm thinking I'll just read a script based on the one I read to (Ezekiel) but customized for them. If anything, I might share with just (Phoenix) first and then his dad and then the whole group, if need be.
Wow, this is such a huge deal for me!
Also, if I'm really on it, I might be able to tell (Theo) the Sunday before as well. That's assuming I go these next two Sundays and actually enjoy the first one. So that's all a big question mark but we'll see what develops...

Here is some advice that I included in a recent blog post of mine on the subject of dating women for guys who struggle with SSA: “Do I recommend dating and marriage, if they desire it, for any men who struggle with homosexuality? Only if they have a real desire to marry and have children, only if they (and their spouse-to-be) face it with the realism that attraction to men may possibly continue or resurface to some degree, only if they do not see marriage as being better in God’s eyes than being single, only if they have shared about their struggle with same-sex attraction in detail with their potential future spouse, and only if they have a strong expectant faith that in God all things are possible. Even then, it is a major decision to make, but as Jones and Yarhouse point out in their work, change in some form is possible for some people. I am one of those people.”Well, that's a tough challenge but encouraging in the end. Certain something I'll have to pray a lot about!
