Hi everyone and a late welcome to June:). I want this message to be something of an open letter to all the people who identify as part of the LGBTQ community. First: hii, hello, greetings:). I want to express how sorry I am if you've gone through any type of abuse, whether it be emotional or physical, from the "church". That's not how anyone should act towards anyone, and it's definitely not how followers of Christ should live. I would hazard to say, actually, that perhaps those "churches" weren't actually composed of Christians, and were instead pseudo-Christians, but I digress. Second, I want to be your friend. I wanna extend the hand of friendship towards you, because you're made in the image of God (anddd despite what differing thoughts we may have—which, trust me, I'm absolutely sure we do—I want to be your friend). I want to hear your story, listen to your experiences. I would love to have a conversation with you and hear your perspective if you'd simply be willing to have a conversation with me and listen to my perspective:). Finally—and, this bit is absolutely not motivated by homophobia, hate, or ignorance, or anything of the sort—I want to tell you that this is not who you are. Whether you identify as trans or gay or bi or whatever it may be, this is not how you were designed to live. You are made imago dei—in the image of God—and that, that is why you have worth, why I care so much about you. Romantic relationships are created to be between a man and a woman, according to the One who *is* love. I know you’ll disagree with me if you’re in the LGBTQ community, and because of this I would love to hear your disagreements. Let’s have a conversation—it’s up to you.

Hey all! Apologies I haven't updated Leape—been busy with life and stuff lol. Will update soonish:D (I hope xD).

Hi! Just wanted to let y’all know that unfortunately I’m not going to be able to post another chapter if Leape quiteeeee yet— I’m sick rn lol, but when I get better I’ll post it

To my Muslim friends: Eid Mubarak! I admire your persistence in fasting for a whole month, only eating/drinking at night. I pray that you will enjoy food and water and that your family will stay healthy during this feasting period:). Interestingly, the Prophet Isa, or as we Christians call Him, Jesus, fasted for forty days and forty nights with no food whatsoever. (You can find this in the Injil, in Matthew 4). He prayed during that time and was tempted by Iblis, or Satan. Satan tempted Jesus, trying to get Him to disobey God, or sin. (We humans constantly sin. We lie, we steal, we look at other people with lust, we hate people, and more.) But Jesus didn’t disobey God—He lived a perfect life. Scripture says that those of us who don’t live a perfect life—all of humanity—will be judged on Judgement Day, at time’s end. Even one sin is enough for God to be just and give us over to eternal torture and death, despite whatever “good works” we do, which Scripture says are “filthy rags”. We are all subject to eternal death/torture because of what we’ve done. But Jesus was perfect in every manner of His life—He was perfect in love, too. He was murdered even though He could have stopped it, for your and my sake. It wouldn’t matter if He had stayed dead. But He didn’t. He was dead for three days in a tomb cut in rock before He came back for you, alive. All you must do to “escape” eternal torture and death is believe that Jesus truly is God (What person can raise themself from the dead? What person can do so many miracles, fulfill so many prophecies, without being God?) and believe that He truly came back from the dead. That’s all you must do. And then He changes your heart, making you want Him, not sin. If you truly believe this, knowing full-well you’re not worthy of this gift of saving from eternal death, you don’t have to die forever because He already died. Believe that Jesus Christ truly did die and that He truly did come back from the dead, and you will have eternal life.
