I appreciate your comments Tracie, and I am not sure which Pastor you are referring to. The first said that any homosexual action was wrong, and I disagree with him as well. But Pastor Jess has taught me how to come to terms with that and believe that God loves all people equally. I understand that you think I should ask God directly, and believe me, I have. But I also believe that God works through other people. And while, He can work through anyone He chooses, I believe God was working through Pastor Jess in showing me a new way of seeing the Bible. God and I talk, no doubt, but there are times when things can be made clearer by other people. As for the essays, I agree with everyone about returing to the "Body Outlaws". It is a wonderful collection, and as I have said before, I wish I was as bold as many of these women. I loved "Strip" as it was very insightful for me. But I haven't read many essays in these books that I haven't gotten something new and important from.
