I should probably start this post by apologizing for the fact that I am going to upset/offend half of my meager readership. Except, the truth is, I’m not sorry. I’m quite happy to have moved past that closed-minded, judgmental, Baptist girl of yore. (Not that I don’t love or respect Baptists. I’m just glad I’m not there anymore. Very glad.) God has brought me to where I am today and I am good with that.

There’s this blogger named Glennon who I discovered this week, thanks to the Huffington Post. If it’s possible to be in love with someone I have never met, then I am definitely in love with her. And the way she writes. And the way she writes what she thinks, no apologies. I initially read this article that was posted on Huff Post and I almost started crying. Or jumping up and down screaming “Hallelujah.” Then I found her blog and I found this post that blew me away. And I haven’t been able to think about anything else since. I have to admit that I’m a bit jealous that she beat me to this. Because, if I was going to write a letter to my kids about being gay this is exactly what I would write. Exactly. Wouldn’t change a thing. This is my favorite quote from the post:

And I better make sure that my children know beyond a shadow of a doubt that in God’s and their father’s and my eyes, they are okay. They are fine. They are loved as they are. Without a single unless.

Amen, Sister.

I used to love daylight savings (in the fall at least). Then I had kids. Now it just means small children start crawling on us even earlier than normal. (And let me just say, my kids get up too early as it is.) So…today we’re up at 4:30. Fun.
