in On Chris Fabry Live Concerning Ray Boltz “Coming Out” on ETC: Everyday Thoughts Collected
Randy,


Thank you (no pun intended) for your leadership and voice on this topic in regards to Ray Boltz. I believe you did a wonderful job of representing the truth, with grace and compassion! I dont think it was a bad interview at all!



I have met Ray at least once, and am a huge fan. I love him, will pray for him, and believe that the work God began, he will be faithful to complete. As you know, the walk that Ray is currently walking is not the walk he may have even a year from now.



Thanks again Randy for all you do (and Exodus) as God leads you on the front line. As I have told you before - you make me proud to be apart of the body of Christ!



Blessings,



Jay

Randy Jay that is very kind of you to say. I noticed I wandered in my answer a little bit in the middle and I was so sad for the first caller and only had seconds to answer him.

I also will be watching Ray as he moves forward. People go through different "seasons" and we all need to take care.

Im laughing sooo out loud!


We are so much alike. Its amazing. I love to eat. Mary J is my favorite. Just Fine is cool - but "Stay Down"..... wow! That song! Actually - that whole album. (I bought it for "Just Fine") My iPod is glued to my body. It amazes me that you can listen to Mary J, watch Micheal's Billie Jean music video, listen to Dave Ramsey talk about money advise, and look at your entire photo collection all on the same device.



Ive learned that it really does work if you add working out to eating right. Carbs are really bad for guys like us- sweets - sugar - donuts - lots of bread - lots of ice cream - all that fun stuff! Best are eggs, oatmeal, Cheerios, chicken breasts, TUNA, (yes I know) ...... and salad. Do that 5-6 times a day in small portions with regular work outs and .... POOF! It does get better. Oh - I just bought a brand new cross trainer bike that is soooo cool! It set me back over 400 which is alot for a bike!!! But sooo worth it. Cardio on the go that doesnt make u feel like a hamster is way more fun!



I look forward to the day when Chirst returns and our new bodies arrive and POW - my six pack is finally fun to FLEX! :)



Until then......



I need to get to the gym .....and be workng on my fitness. :)

Randy I know, iPods are definitely revolutionary in their impact on modern entertainment.

And yes, I know about the eating right too. But I have yo-yo'd because of bad eating AND legalism. For me, eating was (still a struggle) very much like the sin and law dynamic instead of abiding in grace dynamic. So, I am taking what I have learned over the past few years and implementing it in ways that I can truly live with it. The bad/good thing about legalism is, if I do it right, it has immediate impact but it doesn't bring joy or really last. I started hating it when whole lunch conversations would turn into discussions about what the rules of the diet was instead of fellowshipping with friends.

I have been doing a personal "grace" approach to eating and I have lost about 15 pounds in six weeks. BUT, I am back on the same level of weight training I was on when I dropped off the gym radar last summer. As a matter of fact, I have only weighed myself twice during that time. And I am very cool with that. I know I am losing weight, eating much better and enjoying it.

Congrats on the new bike! ... now get to da' gym. :)

in Ask It Basket - What to Blog About? Please Tell Me What You Want on ETC: Everyday Thoughts Collected
Dear Abby - I mean RANDY!!! Sorry.


So - you asked. Here it goes. Could you please blog about how to turn cat hair into nicely crocheted pot holders. My grandma did it so well. I heard that you do it well too. I am dying to learn how this is done (Since Grannie Millie passed some time ago). I have a cat that is so hairy and sheds like snow flakes falling on Mount Evans Colorado. Everywhere I turn - I see cat hair. No - not dead people - but CAT HAIR! I HATE picking it up and throwing away this awesome, precious, and soft .........particles of ..... well - future crocheted pot holders. Thanks for any advise you offer.





Hairy in Illinois.

Alex,
Why do you say its "tragic" to think someone wants to change their life and choices. It is really no different than someone who has a habit they dont like, a drinking problem, or porn addiction. I have had several of these issues in my own life. Why is it that we can on one side be so "open" and honest - and then when someone wants to make a different way for themselves - choose to walk a different life - a different way of thinking - its tragic?
Why is it that openness/living free cannot be for everyone?

Randy,
I want to express to you how grateful I am that your in the world. Im grateful God has raised you up, set you free, and given you a vision and ministry for the lost. You are such an example to me as a man that also HAD a gay identity. You say what I feel. You have paved the way (as so many others have as well). I too believe God is raising me up for "such a time as this"! I look forward to the days ahead.
THANK YOU MY BROTHER!
PS Why is the YOUTUBE video in this blog not working? Did they make sure it would not work due to the "nature" of the topic?
