People Can Change

Because of media bias, you won't hear this story on ABC News, nor on CNN's Larry King Live. So this story was obtained from WorldNetDaily.com instead. It's about Michael Glatze, who is a prominent gay activist & editor of Young Gay America magazine. He lived the homosexual lifestyle at age 16. But at age 30, he found God, or rather, God found him. He said his conversion was the most liberating experience in his entire life. He further stated that he had been leading a movement of sin & corruption, that homosexuality prevented him from finding his true self, that homosexuality is lust & pornography wrapped into one, and that it destroys young minds. So he abandoned his homosexual lifestyle. Now that he has a personal relationship with God, he was no longer confused, afraid, nor upset. So this story is proof that there is hope for people to change.

Keep Hope Alive

I just read in The Arizona Republic about a man who ended up in a coma after an auto accident. His wife asked a judge to order the removal of his feeding tube so he can "die with dignity" (whatever that means). Luckily, his brothers and sisters objected and fought against this decision. So a higher court overturned the decision before he starved to death. The feeding tube was reinserted. Soon afterwards, he awoke from his coma. This reminds me of Terri Schiavo, and people I know personally, who "died" after their life support was deliberately removed. I was just wondering, how many of them could have recovered like this man, if people didn't give up hope. Keep hope alive, and maybe you'll keep your loved ones alive too as a result.

Lost and Found

Like other kids entering college, I became an agnostic. After graduation, I had a materialistic view of life. But I still felt "empty." Something was missing in my life. Then I saw Rev. Billy Graham on TV. He asked, "Do you know why you feel emptiness in your life? It's because you never made God your goal and purpose for living." That struck me to the core like lightning. So I started reading the Bible. I was also instructed about the Faith by two new co-workers, who became my friends. I felt like someone who was lost, but had been found again. Do you have loved ones who have gone astray? Don't lose hope. Keep praying for them. God reached out to me. He'll reach out to them too when the time is right.
