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 over you that night.Angelhttp://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. I'm sure it is much heavier to tell when you've lived it. Please keep the next two parts coming and let b-a know when you post. 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 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
