Acceptional Article
Thank you for your article "In Love with My In-Laws" [Spring 2000]. It's wonderful that there are parents out there who appreciate and affirm their children's marriages early on. It sets a great foundation for a lifetime of mutual respect. Sometimes, it's being accepted into the family that makes in-laws comfortable in sharing themselves.

The Straight and Narrow
The article on Dennis Jernigan [Summer 2000] was truly wonderful. I began to cry when I read about how the power of homosexuality was instantly broken. Once again, I was reminded of God's wonderful and precious power in our lives. He has freed me from my smoking habit and is working in me to heal me of my sexual addiction. When I compare yesterday to today, I can see God's work in my own life. We serve an awesome God!
Thank you and Mr. Jernigan for sharing his story. I have bookmarked it, and I intend to share it with my friends, family, or with anyone who may be struggling with homosexuality.

I was very upset about your article "Straight Talk" in that it was anti-homosexual. I'm not sure where you got your information that homosexuality is wrong, but you need to cite your sources if you are going to call homosexuality a sin. It is a shame that people who profess to be Christians are still making judgment calls on other people's action. It saddens me that Jesus tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves when people, who claim to be disciples of Christ, are still making judgments on other people's human value.
Please stop advocating for the hate of gays, and pray and ask God what it really means to love your neighbor as yourself because it is apparent you need a little clarity in that area. I'll be praying for you.

Normal or Not—Here We Come!
I truly enjoyed your latest feature article, "Is Your Marriage Normal?" by Tim Gardner [Summer 2000]. My husband and I have been married a little over a year, and during that time, I've spent a lot of time wondering and worrying about whether or not our relationship is "normal." Gardner's emphasis on healthy traits in marriage, rather than vague, socially-defined "normal" traits, gives us both the ability to be who God created us to be. This approach leads to freedom and joy, and provides a strong basis for unity. Once again, thanks for the insight.
