I really, really liked this guy's blog post. It is amazing to me that these people are so faithful and strongly committed to what they believe that they were willing to find and work for their personal solution to a problem that previously seemed unsolvable. I had also read the other guy's story in the LDS Living magazine, and I really liked when he said (to paraphrase)that he does not feel the need to label himself as gay or straight, but he just sees himself as a man trying to do the will of God. It's a great reminder that a lot of the time, what seems like a problem with no solution only appears that way because of the limits and definitions of how things are or should be that we as humans feel the need to put on things. Although its hard to do, I know that really trying to live with more of an eternal perspective would make decisions, and all of life really, a lot easier and clearer. Thanks for sharing this.
