Jen Austin.com: September 2005
http://jenaustin.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Each of us can make a difference. Thursday, September 29, 2005. I looked at the message board at http:/ kiddlive.com. When I got home and although the posts were generally supportive of Shanon, there was one message that jumped out in stark contrast and prompted me to write this blog. It was titled, "Read a Bible" and it simply said, "Kids listen to this show. Love how ya'll make homosexuality so acceptable. Hey, let's just tear those pages out of the Bible." Signed, Troy.

Each of us can make a difference. Friday, December 30, 2005. Looking back on 2005. 2005 has been a great year. There's so much to reflect on and to be thankful for, it's hard to know where to begin. I hope you've had a great 2005 as well. May we all come to know God even more intimately in 2006. Happy New Year. Posted by Jen Austin at 10:46 AM. Links to this post. Wednesday, December 21, 2005. Pat Saxon wrote today's devotion for Cathedral of Hope and she echoed the thoughts of many when she said:. Holy ...

Each of us can make a difference. Tuesday, August 30, 2005. Scot wrote this devotion after last week's. Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am yourGod; I will strengthen you, surely I will help you. Surely I will uphold you with My righteous hand. Isaiah 41:10. How can we do this? Devotion by Scot Pankey. Minister of Evangelism, Youth and Young Adults. Cathedral of Hope, Dallas. Posted by Jen Austin at 8:35 AM. Links to this post. Sunday, August 28, 2005.

Each of us can make a difference. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. Tonight is the last 20Something meeting before our summer break, and although I think it's always good to take a break and step back in order to become refreshed and begin to see things with a renewed perspective, this particular step back may feel more like withdrawls. I will miss the warmth and inspiration each Wednesday night, and what has become my mid-week inspiration and awareness fix. Posted by Jen Austin at 3:30 PM. Links to this post.

Jen Austin.com: November 2005
http://jenaustin.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Each of us can make a difference. Wednesday, November 30, 2005. The following is from a sermon by Rabbi Eric Yoffie at the Houston Biennial Union for Reform Judaism 68th General Assembly, on November 19, 2005 in Houston, TX. It's refreshing to know that others in the faith community take issue with some of the propaganda that comes from the Christian Right. You can view the entire sermon by clicking on the link above, but this is an important excerpt:. We are particularly offended by the suggestion that ...

Each of us can make a difference. Wednesday, May 25, 2005. One never can tell exactly how someone will react to the revelation that you're gay. Christian. I guess it depends upon whether or not this someone considers the terms to be mutually exclusive. Here is one recent post from the guestbook at jenaustin.com:. You people make me sick! Why is it that you think you can go change the world to suit your whims? It isn't all about you! And she's exactly right. It. Perhaps this is where the lust idea comes f...

http://jenaustin.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Each of us can make a difference. Wednesday, July 27, 2005. I posted a blog in May entitled, "In gay relationships, is all sex premarital? Although that spiritual thread in the blog is quite obvious to me, earlier this week an anonymous writer left this short and not so sweet comment: "You need God! My first instinct is to take this comment at face value and agree wholeheartedly. I absolutely need God! Did anyone see the GLAAD awards on Logo Sunday night? Jon Stewart was not present to accept his award, ...

Each of us can make a difference. Thursday, April 28, 2005. Further elaboration on Leviticus 18:22. I always find it interesting when Christians use Leviticus 18:22 as a basis for their condemnation of homosexuality. (It says, "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.") I imagine that they have seen that verse in print so many times under a heading in the church newsletter that reads something like, ". Ammunition for Water Cooler Discussions About the Gays. 2 Letting laundry ge...

Jen Austin.com: January 2006
http://jenaustin.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Each of us can make a difference. Tuesday, January 31, 2006. I've been working on a project for the past couple of weeks involving Scientology. Although I'm a Christian, I'm always interested in the ways in which other belief systems handle the issue of homosexuality. So I decided to investigate Scientology for myself to see what exactly it is that Scientologists believe. It has been incredibly enlightening. This experience has confirmed my Christianity. And it will make me a whole lot more knowledga...
