A key word that you will see:

Fragmentation: a mental process where a person becomes intensely emotionally focused on one aspect of themselves, such as “I am angry” or “no one loves me,” to the point where all thoughts, feelings and behavior demonstrate this emotional state, in which, the person does not or is unable to take into account the reality of their environment, others or themselves and their resources. This is a term that my therapist and I use and is on the continuum of dissociation.

Anonymous said...: As you know, I am pro-gay, even though I am not gay myself. But my daughter may be, but it doesn't matter. Homosexuality is a non-issue for me and always has been, and that is the way I was raised, as a matter of fact. You post so much about gay stuff, which is cool, and I want to ask you if there is someone in your life you are advocating for? Or if you are just more of a cause-fighter within your Christian society? :-}
Ethereal Highway said...: Wow. That was a stunning performance. Truly beautiful. Thank you for posting it.
Clueless said...: Sarah,

I also love this song...always have.

Judy, thank you for asking. My primary reason is to show the "real Christian" side or this issue or at least a diffent view that is shown in the media. I am a cause-fighter in general within the community as a whole, but also within my church...I shared what I learned with my pastor. :-) He was very open. I have some friends and family members who are homosexual, but that is not my primary reason for my motives.

Ethereal Highway,

I was in awe of this performance when I saw it. The chorus is very, very good. You are welcome for my posting this. Thank you for listening and for the comment.
