I'm glad you have a new idea for your file. I'd love to see pictures of furniture you've made. Handmade furniture is always a winner in my book. Thanks for reading and commenting, Chris!

A career is what we do. A calling is who we are." Well said, though I'm not so sure that our "calling" isn't a secret sometimes, but that might be due to my own personal stubborness more than the "calling" being a secret. Interesting reading about your experience with grad school. I thought I would definitely go to grad school when I graduated college. Now almost 18 years later...still no grad school for me.

I've enjoyed making some furniture for my home, and I would tell your friend "well done!" A great birthday idea as well...putting this one in the idea file :) Thanks! That's a nice table.

Would it have been helpful if I used a different word other than "just"? I wasn't trying to say that Jesus didn't die for our sins, but that his death wasn't his only purpose for existing. If we think that's all he came for, I think we miss the point of the gospel.

I think you did a good job of giving your viewpoint and focusing on the fact that gay people are people. I think you also pointed out well how American culture stigmatizes being gay.

Thanks for explaining the studies and offering more thoughts. I especially appreciate how you pointed out numbers will never tell the whole picture. This must be a difficult study to conduct, especially with so many outside factors to consider. I absolutely agree that this type of conversation is meant to marginalize people groups, which is what I attempted to point out but missed the mark. Thanks for steering us in the right direction.
