This is so beautiful, so touching, and so truthful: "I’ve come to understand that God’s love is deeper than ours, His grief greater, and His nearness to the brokenhearted more real than we can truly fathom." AMEN! I agonized over my nephew for two years, and deeply ached for my sister and brother-in-law while they tried to navigate the trans-gender cults lies. Their son went down the trans rabbit hole and they did everything they could to pull him back out. My heart was heavy, I cried daily, I begged and pleaded to God for His help. I would wake up in the middle of the night and the first thing I thought of was my nephew. I was terrified of what he was going through or what he would do to his healthy body. I never knew if I would ever see him again. My faith is what helped me cope, but I still was overcome with worry as my sister's heart was broken. I know that over this last past year, God helped me every day to heal my own broken heart, to accept what I could not change in this life, and that nothing matters more in this world than my personal spiritual relationship with God. I have learned how to live in the NOW, how to be PRESENT, and I am grateful for every day I wake up, for every sunrise and sunset. Trust me, I no longer take anything for granted. I now tell my family and friends that I may not have tomorrow or next week or next month or next year but what I have is right NOW and I am cherishing every second of every minute of every day. God is with me, I am not alone, and I am blessed. I once heard a guest on Oprah's show about 20 years ago say: "LIFE IS NOT A HUMAN EXPERIENCE WITH A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY; LIFE IS A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY WITH A HUMAN EXPEREINCE."

Could it be that, through the removal of God from the public square, and the general acceptance of abortion and other self-centered behavior, our hearts have been hardened? Perhaps we are all receiving “hearts of flesh.”

The loss of a child in such a horrible way has broken our hearts. God has entered into my sorrow, or perhaps has allowed me to enter into His. My tears are not only mine but His as well. I cry to Him to break my heart more and more. What can I do FOR YOU, oh my Lord and my God?! I know that His love is so much greater than mine and I trust in His words. Like the Roman centurion who asked for his servant to be healed, we say, “Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof but only say the word and I shall be healed.” Then, in faith, I ask Jesus to heal my daughter. I know that He can do as He wills. So I beg Him to heal her. It may not happen while I am here on this earth, but it will happen. Hope does not disappoint. Keep crying out to God. For the sake of your children and this world, but mainly for the love of our God who willingly gave His own Son to save us, get on your knees and cry out to the One who loves you.

This Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Spirit.

Come Holy Spirit. Save our children from the clutches of the evil one. Remove their hearts of stone and replace them with hearts of flesh. Bring them home. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen

I think this experience gives us more than a heart of flesh, it gives us a piece of the heart of God—a unique opportunity to see through his eyes, how he sees his children, and how long suffering he is— and how foolish and rebellious we are!

May the Holy Spirit soften our children’s hearts and remove the scales from their eyes so that they may see, taste, and know that God is real and loves them dearly. And may they long to know that love above all else!

From an outside perspective— of course your son wanted to be a girl to attach himself to you. He had no male FATHER to which to create a healthy attachment to.

That’s another area where ideaology meets reality— it’s one thing to have a gay or lesbian sexuality in theory, or even for oneself, but how does that affect children who deserve both a mother and a father?

I say this not to call judgement on the author of this article or anyone else who identifies as gay/lesbian. But our society has accepted these forms of “marriage” without thinking about the unintended consequences of kids having two dads and no mom or two moms and no dad. Don’t children have a right to both a mother and a father? […] we do need the biological reality of male and female for children to develop healthfully.

Education <— get one

Children of two same-sex parents come out every bit as well-adjusted, and no more likely to be gay, than those wqith opposite-sex parents.

Single parenting is vastly more harmful. All studies show this.

[…] A generation of LGB raising children has evolved into the natural anthropological outcome that one would expect. Could it be that LGB feelings are as much a confused state as TQ is? […] We have tried reinventing the wheel of society as push back against tradition, religion, mores… and it hasn’t ended well.

(Kris Newcomer)
I agree. I personally don’t understand the LGB desire to recreate marriage and a family— the whole idea of L and G (at least) is a pushback against the natural order of procreation. […] L and G lifestyle is explicitly against the natural order of procreation, so it doesn’t get to turn around and artificially procreate to opt into a family structure that its desires by their very nature rebuke. I realize this is an unpopular opinion, but there you are. I agree with you that I think LGB might be as confused as TQ.
