I think it was during your vacation last year, but Bruce Baugus preached one night and declared that in the near future the church would see an increasing number of converts from the homosexual community and we'd better be preparing for how to treat them (i.e., just like we would anyone else who got saved and started attending our church to learn more about Jesus rather than keeping them at arm's length because of the kind of sinner they'd previously been). It was very provocative to me and I've often wondered why he thought that and wished he could have gone into it more. (Dr. Baugus, I know you read this blog, care to comment?)<br /><br />Also, thanks for the support for those of us who struggle or have struggled with mental illness. Since being inspired and convicted by Ginger Chamblin's openness, I've tried to be more frank about my depression and anxiety problems, especially the PPD I got this summer. While most people have been supportive or simply curious there have been a few who (likely from ignorance) said things that were offensive or hurtful. I'm praying that one day we'll be as comfortable talking about mental illness as we are about the flu. Knowledge and understanding will be key to getting there.denisegphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943775022318468662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543571234839860076.post-81729807486658449512010-10-15T14:24:55.134-07:002010-10-15T14:24:55.134-07:00Thanks bro!!Thanks bro!!Bill Lamkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983668052290385723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543571234839860076.post-10771218180000364682010-10-12T17:04:57.106-07:002010-10-12T17:04:57.106-07:00Ohh look I'm the first to read this!
