I know I can't go back and undo certain things, and I have learned from them. But I feel bad that to look back I can see so many missed opportunities. I'm sure this is true for a lot of people. It still bums me out at times though.Brendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248268499428066786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319921527453210584.post-85901245201509391402013-11-24T17:48:37.618-06:002013-11-24T17:48:37.618-06:00It certainly is a delicate thing, dealing with you...It certainly is a delicate thing, dealing with young people who express homophobic ideas — which they may well have picked up at home, especially when you need to avoid outing yourself. Just a thought: if you try to express it in a way a straight person would, which I suppose means calmly and objectively, that is probably best.<br /><br />As for the regrets, we all could have handled situations better, and it's fine to recognize that. But whatever might have been different, now you have the life you have. As the saying goes, "There's no use crying over spilled milk." Maybe the past can give you lessons, but the question is always, "What do I do now?"<br /><br />I'm sure the season triggers memories of your grandma. It's good that you miss her.<br /><br />God bless you.naturgesetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268507379933286863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319921527453210584.post-66552093241776560472013-11-24T13:05:10.784-06:002013-11-24T13:05:10.784-06:00Jennypo,
I usually say this. It's just that ...Jennypo,<br /><br />I usually say this. It's just that I have to be kind of careful about how I go about it. If I say too much then I'm accused of preaching instead of teaching, and I know if people find out I'm gay I'll never get hired as a teacher. And I've literally had students ask if I was gay before, so it's just a fine balancing act. It just always hurts when people I like, regardless of age, make comments and think they way they do.<br /><br />Thank you for the prayers. I'll pray for you too. :)Brendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18248268499428066786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319921527453210584.post-43773135838926503892013-11-24T12:52:05.822-06:002013-11-24T12:52:05.822-06:00Brandon, tell those kids the truth - that God love...Brandon, tell those kids the truth - that God loves gays. One of them might BE gay...and they might need to know how precious they are to the God who made them. Insomnia tonight so I'll be praying for both of us.jennypohttp://www.jennypo.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
