It’s going to be another different kind of blog from me today. I’ve been thinking alot about this verse this week:

We’re preparing a family service around it at church.I think it’s a really key verse with some really simple but powerful wording. Think about it. These are the words of Jesus. What did he do? He died for me. Wowzers, that’s a big ask in itself but when you couple it with the fact he’s talking about all people not just those you like it becomes all the more powerful.
I live in a Christian community where there’s several groups of people who are actively seeking to keep certain people down. We’ve got those who are adamant that women shouldn’t be priests or bishops, those who seem to think that stopping gay people from getting married is protecting the sactity of marriage and family life and those who want to attack women who have a difficult decision to make about keeping a child or not.
These people make me feel very ashamed. I don’t hold any of the above misguided values but would like to offer an apology on their behalf. Sadly, I can’t. I can’t make them change their beliefs but I promise you this. Every day I pray that they get the message of the above verse.
I’m not completely innocent myself. Way back in time I was convinced that the only real love was that between a man and a woman, my view has ocmpletely changed on that now I’ve actually thought about it and looked into it myself. Love is love no matter the sex of the individuals involved.
I know I don’t always love others as I should but I am striving to do better!
If you want to look into some people who do believe in the above words and the fact that God’s love is for everyone then check out:
There is hope and there are people out there willing to try to love as Jesus taught us to love. If you have any questions please fire them at me here. If anyone has a view they’d like to share or an example of love at work then I’d love you to share it here. I know it might seem weird to some that I use my erotica writing website to talk about God but he’s everywhere in my life so it’s not weird to me. :)

Ben Lethbridge doesn’t have many vices left. After raising his little sister to adulthood, he wasted no time making up for the youth he lost to responsible parenting. Two years of partying it up—and ignoring his diabetes—has left him tethered to a home dialysis regimen.
He can do his job from his flat, fortunately, but most of his favourite things are forbidden. Except for DVD porn…and fantasizing over Ollie, the gorgeous, purple-haired skateboarder who delivers it.
Their banter is the highlight of Ben’s lonely day, but his illness-ravaged body is the cruel reality that prevents him from believing they’ll do anything more than flirt. Not to mention the age gap. Still, Ben figures there’s no harm in sprucing himself up a bit.
Then one day, a package accidentally splits open, revealing Ben’s dirty little secret…and an unexpected connection that leaves him wondering if he’s been reading Ollie wrong all this time. There’s only one way to find out: risk showing Ollie every last scar. And hope “far from perfect” is good enough for a chance at love.
Warning: Contains superhero porn comics and a cute, accident-prone delivery guy with colour-changing hair. Readers may experience coffee cravings, an unexpected liking for bad mullets, and the urge to wrap Ollie up and take him home.

“Hey there,” Ollie said when I opened the door, that million-watt grin lighting up his face again. “Like the hair. Got another one of these for you.”
“Thanks.” I tried to kick-start my mouth into saying something interesting, but it refused to cooperate and decided it wanted to dry out instead. I suppose it was slightly less embarrassing than drooling over him. In an effort not to stare, I forced my gaze away and fixed it on the front garden next door. There was only a low, brick wall separating my spartan, gravel driveway with Mrs. Felpersham’s garden, but it was like another world over there. She’d crammed it full of blowsy pink flowers, a wooden wishing well and more garden gnomes than you could shake a stick at. Those gnomes always gave me the heebie-jeebies, but at least there were plenty to keep my eyes occupied at times like this.
“Oh, sweet! I’ve got that exact same T-shirt! ’Course, mine’s a bit smaller.” Ollie started bouncing up and down on his heels, and I wanted to lick him all over, he looked so appealing. At that thought, despite being full of dialysate, I felt my cock starting to stir. It’s a good thing I was in the XXX-Large version of the Wolverine shirt. Still, I leant forward a little just to make sure nothing showed.
My mind got stuck on the idea of how much I wanted to see him in that T-shirt and then out of it. I started to worry that I was going to blurt it out by accident, so I kept my mouth firmly shut. I must have looked like a right stuck-up twat. Didn’t seem to bother Ollie, though.
“I should bring some of those comics round for you to read. It would be good to have someone to chat about them with. Most of my other friends think I’m nuts, you know?”
What? Other friends? Did that mean he considered me a friend? We’d only known each other for a few weeks. I realised I needed to speak, and fast, if I wasn’t to make a terrible impression and get struck off that friends list.
“Yeah, uh, great. I mean, I’d like that, if you don’t mind lending your stuff to a stranger.” Great. Now I’d called myself a stranger when he was trying to be friendly.
“Nah, it’s cool. I know where you live, after all.” He gave me another huge grin that made his cheeks dimple. It really wasn’t fair. No one should be allowed to be that cute.
