Dear Forgiven, The degree to which I can or should have involvement with boys is a very tough and complex issue, one which in the coming year I will be discussing in great detail in my group. I can't avoid all contact with boys as I presently do forever, it's not even remotely realistic - they're everywhere! I think it extremely unwise, however, to think I can ever get involved with boys directly, not because I pose any danger to them (as those who know me, including those involved in corrections, can attest to), but because of my record. That's simply a repercussion of my actions that I must live with. As for fellowship in a church, my feelings on that issue have not changed since I addressed it below in my post to frank - though I thank you for your suggestions. Who knows, maybe I will try them out if God so softens my heart to the idea! Thank you for love and encouragement - God bless you. Love in the Lord, J |
