Even though I am picking up on your story late, I really appreciate reading about you. Thank you for opening up and sharing so much about your life.<BR/> <BR/>I am just now starting on my own journey of reconciling my sexuality with Christianity. As I start to look into myself and assess my relationship with God, and also ask the questions of what it is and how I can be gay and Christian, it very encouraging to read about other gay Christians and their accounts of how they have walked this same path.<BR/><BR/>I also want to point out that “Sankofa” as used is not a Swahilli word as you say but rather an Akan word. Akan is a language group which includes Twi and Fante, spoken by different ethnic groups in Ghana (West Africa).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-1136271028559653332006-01-02T22:50:00.000-08:002006-01-02T22:50:00.000-08:00(((((Eric)))))) I thank God that He was watching o...(((((Eric)))))) I thank God that He was watching over you that night.The Rainbow Zebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556423049067122472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-1136203188213295032006-01-02T03:59:00.000-08:002006-01-02T03:59:00.000-08:00That's a very heavy story to read.

It's very good to know that things are better now than they were then. Take care.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457001.post-1136181683041845792006-01-01T22:01:00.000-08:002006-01-01T22:01:00.000-08:00I look forward to reading about the effect that Je...I look forward to reading about the effect that Jesus Christ had on your life. From the sounds of your post, you really needed Christ in your life.<BR/><BR/><B>True Story</B>: When I was a university student, my roommate asked me, "What would happen if I took this bottle of <I>Tylenol</I>?" I responded, "I don't know, but you sure won't have a headache for a long time!" So he did.<BR/><BR/>The result was that the next day, he checked himself into the hospital. I think he had some amount of liver and/or kidney damage. We lost touch soon after that. (I'm not sure if I should add, "needless to say," or "to my shame".)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
