We Desperately Need A New Conversation On Homosexuality And The Bible

See on Scoop.itLiving Business

Over the past 10 years I have found myself doing two things over and over again: Coming out and having conversations about the so-called “clobber passages” relating to homosexuality and the Bible. I have grown weary of those conversations.

Social Media Can Be a Mixed Bag

4039942772_0a7f3a49ac_zSocial media can be a mixed bag, to say the least.

From Daily Bipolar by Meredith: 

Woohoo! Social media. All the rage. The way to connect, network, make friends, link up, be social…like the social beings we are…ad nauseum.
