Andy is a young man who has recently gone to a liberal arts college. He has been used of God in many areas and is multi-talented. In a conversation a month ago he revealed to me that he might be homosexual. He assured me the feelings he was experiencing were not a fad, but he d been having these urges almost as long as he could remember. With tears streaming down his face, arms clasped around his chest, and desperation in his voice, he spoke of the pain of his childhood.
Kids are often harsh and judgmental.
Andy was always viewed as different and an outsider because he didn t play sports and hang out with the other boys on the playground. Words cannot do justice in emoting all the pain he has gone through. Then, there is the issue of his father. Both parents are strong Apostolics who are very involved with the church. His father was distant during his early childhood and somewhere along the way there was a perception problem.
