This topic has been brewing in my heart for a long time. The time we spent together really caused me to put some thoughts into words so that I could really understand what my own opinions are as well as what the Bible says about such topics as sin, judgement, love, and a hope that I really only believe is found in Jesus. Matt, It's important to me that this would be received in love rather than judgement. It's really not only in reference to what you've shared with us, but how the christian community has continued to take the seat of judgement for themselves. As I stated above, Jesus Himself didn't come to this place as judge, rather to bring His Truth in love. Truth is unfortunately wielded as a weapon these days rather than the foundation of Love. And Truth requires that an authority be present. I know this authority as being found only in Jesus and the Holy Bible. I'm glad we share this foundation together. Robin & Matt,

That is awesome! The whole time I was with you and your family I could think of nothing but how awesome you all are! You inspired me!!!!! I really want a family... so bad I can hardly stand it at times! I just want to be needed and accepted! I really want to leave my life of sin and live for GOD! Thank you so much for being an awesome child of God! Thank you for showing me what it is to be needed and accepted; and what it is like to have a family and a safe home! I miss you all and hope to see you very soon... hopefully for good reasons though! I pray for Uncle Jim every day! I love you! -Matt Hey PJ,

I really appreciated reading this today. I hope to read more, as you really did minister to me this day.
