Love is the hardest lesson in Christianity; but, for that reason, it should be most our care to learn it.

To be like Christ is to be a Christian.

I always say that as a Christian I cannot find any passage in the Gospels in which Jesus condemned homosexuality.

It's hard and sometimes it's scary. It still amazes my mother. I went home for Christmas one year and there were fans all over the front lawn, hoping to see me.
