All Are Welcome!

            I believe the author of the blog did a very nice job making a good example of the two kids. The author made it clear that just like Freddie was welcome at his friend’s dinner table, we too are welcome at the table of Christ. It is always nice to be welcomed places. Whether we are welcomed at a dinner table, or socially at school, or on an athletic or academic team; it is always nice to be welcomed places. It makes us feel good inside. I know I always enjoy being welcomed places. It makes me feel especially good to know I am welcomed with God. Anytime I want to talk to God or read about God, I know I can do that. God has welcomed me into his life and that makes me feel pretty great.

          I am welcomed every place I do. I am welcomed in my classes; I am welcomed in social settings, on athletic teams, in my family, and in God’s family. The most special place I am welcomed to is God’s family. I love being apart of God’s family. God has taught me many things that have helped me through life and I know I will continue to practice throughout the rest of my life. I believe the author does a good job describing homosexuality: “The Church loves, welcomes, and respects a woman or man with a same-sex attraction…while reminding him or her of our clear teaching that, while the condition of homosexuality is no sin at all, still, God’s teaching is clear that sexual acts are reserved for a man and woman united in the lifelong, life-giving, faithful, loving bond of marriage.”
