It Isn't Always So Simple
I've just returned from a Doctor's appointment. On the way home I stopped at a Chick-fil-a restaurant and picked up sandwiches for our lunch. We are very fond of Chick-fil-a sandwiches and their waffle fries. In the recent days there has been a lot of media attention to a statement made by the leader of the restaurant chain. He spoke in favor of traditional marriage between a heterosexual couple. He termed such marriage as the Biblical model. After his statement, there has been a protest against Chick-fil-a by those who support gay and lesbian relationships. There has also been support by those who favor traditional relationships. I've been a supporter of committed and healthy relationships whether they be traditional, gay or lesbian. In the midst of all this Chick-fil-a attention, I read a July 25th blog of a dear friend in Louisville who is a Disciples of Christ minister, i.e., www.julierichardsonbrown.net titled "Under the ginkgo tree." She referenced another blog at revhollie.blogspot.com in which Rev. Hollie wrote about a local Chick-fil-a franchise owner who is in a committed lesbian relationship and she is a committed Believer. I recommend you read Rev. Hollie's blog regarding Chick-fil-a because things are not always as simple as we might think or wish. Thank you, Rev. Hollie and Rev. Julie.

Another big "Amen". Have almost finished listening to the Fellowship Conference held in April. Have suggested we offer a "group" to watch these and discuss at church. Hope I don't get "churched". Keep writing and suggesting books.
