Controversy or Not?

Okay, I don't know how many people actually read my blog, and I don't how many of those people have actually been to and enjoyed a good church service, but that's how I feel right now. Yes, that's right; after watching a new episode of "Law & Order" (which they said was going to be controversial), I have a happy, nice, pleasant, warm, living feeling right in the middle of my chest, where my ribcage makes its seam.

Funny thing about the Law & Order episode: I didn't find anything to be controversial about! It was about a researcher trying to find markers for the "gay gene", and a comatose pregnant woman whose family was about to abort her baby after finding out the baby had the marker (supposedly inherited from the gay uncle, who seemed to be a really nice guy)... Anyway, I just thought it was cool how science always brings us a little bit closer to seeing how God really works.

*Note* I guess I should say that in the beginning of the episode, the detectives interviewed a Christian guy who had made a death threat against the researcher in the past. But the Christian guy said that people may be born with a "gay gene", but there are other people who are born with tendencies to addiction, etc., and that to him it was still a matter of choosing to do what's right - not to just give up because you do have a struggle.

I've been saying that for years! I firmly believe that people are born gay (and that others may choose to be gay), and I firmly believe that people are born liars (like myself), thieves, addicts, alcoholics (how many of you have heard someone say that runs in their family?), etc... I think God makes us perfectly (notice I didn't say "perfect") and that He intends for us all to have some kind of struggle or another, and through those struggles we learn to seek Him and cling to Him and overcome our trials, and that's how we give Him the glory for giving us the strength to beat Satan's temptations.

Whew!! What a mouthful! Anyway, I was feeling the Spirit (I don't know what else that warm living feeling could be) and had to be joyful. May God bless you as you go through your life, and may you find His strength in every little thing, whether the struggle was born in you or not.
