The LGBT Christian

We are not damned. We are not liars. We are not blasphemers. We are not hypocrites. We are Christians. We are you.

The LGBT Christian

We didn't set out to kill the church; we're just like you, it's Him we search. If that's so wrong, where's your righteousness? Why are we called the liars, the condemned, the blasphemous?

We invited you in, but you kicked us out- we once held our faith, you filled us with doubt. We opened our arms and you closed the doors, we call you brother while you call us whores.

You show us we're unwanted and condemn us to Hell, but we're the ones showing up at the sound of church bells. You tell the divorcee it was good to leave, you tell us our love makes us wrong to believe.

You point out our sin and ignore your own, forgetting that we'll be equal in front of the Throne. You think it's okay when with sin to pick favorites, you call us wrong while living as hypocrites.

Christ is love and acceptance, not pick and choose; if that were the case, He wouldn't have saved you. In that grave, He buried our sin. He loves us now just as He loved us then.

You like to ignore it, but in God's eyes we're equal; no matter our difference, we're still all His people. If He sees no difference, why do you struggle? We're just a couple, but you call us trouble.

"You'll go straight to Hell," you often proclaim, you say I'm against God, but He knows my name. No matter what you say, it won't be erased. With or without you, I'll see His face.

Let us live, let us love, let us worship in peace. Put your hatred down, let fellowship increase. Christ is love and acceptance, we should be the same. Let's raise up as brothers, not put each other to shame.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
