Thanks for the warm greeting! I haven't been able to spend a whole lot of time on line with the wonderful Christmas Holiday, but I have slowly read most of the posts. I can not express the gratitude and relief I feel finding this group. It seems like so very many of my thoughts, questions, and concerns are being brought up here. And I love the response. I am a born again Christian, active in an Evangelical, Bible teaching, Bible preaching, mission oriented, large Protestant church. Talk about feeling like a fish out of water when I walk the halls. I have truly felt blessed knowing that God loves even a man like me! That Jesus, MY Christ, MY Savior went to the cross out of His love for me is such a blessing. I think that knowledge has helped me keep my attractions and feelings in check. I know it sound aweful to say, but I feel greatful that I am asking God for forgiveness and help with my thoughts, not my actions. With Gods help I (we all) can keep our actions "pleasing unto Him." Anyway, thank you all for making me feel more "normal" and less like a "leaper." I am so greatful to know I am not alone. I mean, I know God is always with me, but I think you understand. Other men and women with the same BL interests and desires as me. Let's all pray for eachother, for love, strength, and the ability to "know boundaries." In Gods Love, Muradsman |
