That Oprah
"Every day, passion speaks to us through our feelings. That's why when you allow yourself to become anesthetized by what others think, you literally block yourself from living the life you were called to live. I promise you that if you make a choice that doesn't please your mate, your friends, your mother, or whomever, the world will not fall apart. The people who truly love you want you to love yourself. And as you become clearer about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you, the first time around."
Oprah Winfrey
Thanks, Kristin for posting that. And the rest of your post today was great, as well!

Love and God
Last Sunday morning, a wonderful ensemble of singers called "One Voice" performed "There Are No Orphans of God" in the service. WOW, I tell you. Wow. I wish I could replicate the beauty of it here, but for now, I just have to go with the lyrics.
I thought it was particularly fitting, as it was Gay Pride weekend in Indianapolis, and the gay people I know and adore have often felt like orphans of God because they had gone unloved by His church.
Orphans of God
Who here among us has not been broken
Who here among us is without guilt or pain
So oft’ abandoned by our transgressions
If such a thing as grace exists
Then grace was made for lives like this
There are no strangers
There are no outcasts
There are no orphans of God
So many fallen, but hallelujah
There are no orphans of God
Come ye unwanted and find affection
Come all ye weary, come and lay down your head
Come ye unworthy, you are my brother
If such a thing as grace exists
Then grace was made for lives like this
O blessed Father, look down upon us
We are Your children, we need Your love
We run before Your throne of mercy
And seek Your face to rise above
