An “Opinion” piece was published in USA Today June 29 under the headline:
What closeted LGBTQ youth should know
It was written by Josh Rivera who is the “Opinion NOW” editor for the paper, and a homosexual.
I won’t discuss the merits or lack thereof; but I do want to simply insert a couple clips from it for your thoughtful reading:
“The only choice in this situation is when to face the world with your truth.”
Here’s the other:
“I worry about my community and it pains me to write this, because living your truth shouldn’t place a target on your back.”
Do you see it?
Words matter.
When I read this late last night I shook my head…not at the overall content nor the thesis of the article…but rather something else.
Do you see it?
I’ll just leave this here for now…

Jesus invaded my life shortly after my arrest at age 26. I spent the first few years of my new life incarcerated. Went to Bible school after parole; have served with Kansas City Youth For Christ, Headwaters Christian Youth (Rhinelander, Wi), Family Life Ministries (Bath, NY), and now with Midland Ministries (Saint Joseph, Mo). Married with four children, work with youth, adults, inmates. Heavily involved in Bible quizzing for four decades. Narrow minded about Jesus and the gospel; fairly open minded about most other things. Speak in churches, camps (both teen and family), civic groups, public schools, Christian schools and colleges...amazed I get to do what I get to do....favorite verse Romans 15.13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that you, by the power of the Holy Spirit, may overflow with hope."
