I bristled with frustration when I read about how your sexual identity was subtly dismissed by a therapist who should have known better than to try and come to that conclusion for you.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275381128126684009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538801849812784311.post-22893771283518963802007-03-05T13:22:00.000-08:002007-03-05T13:22:00.000-08:00I am more moved by all your expressions of support...I am more moved by all your expressions of support than I can say.<BR/><BR/>I didn't realize how desperately I needed a community to pray for me.<BR/><BR/>Pax, C.Ceciliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812791378130572065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7538801849812784311.post-53745878142367891832007-03-05T10:31:00.000-08:002007-03-05T10:31:00.000-08:00One by one, the candles of prayer are lit around y...One by one, the candles of prayer are lit around your dark place.

You are on my prayer list - and know that I pray everyday for the inclusion of all God's lovely creations in his churches.<BR/><BR/>May God hold you, who loves him so dearly, and your beloved in his palm and cradle you with the warmth of his embrace. Know that there are people out here who see you as a person first, and your sexuality as something else about you - like having red hair or brown eyes - a piece of what makes you you, but, not the sum total of you.
