I am really thankful for having the opportunity to do this documentary. When I began teaching the love and acceptance doctrine I had no idea of where or what this teaching would lead to. I just believed it was necessary to bring to the GLBT community a healthy, holistic, loving and healing message to a population of hurting people that have for so long been demonized and demoralized.
I often wonder if Christian people know how vicious and hurtful they can be to people all in the name of Jesus. I have heard so many painful stories of gay people who have been victimized by pastors and other church leaders. This to me is such a tragedy and a poor reflection on Christianity.
I am very sensitive to this issue and I have suffered a lot of personal loss just because I choose to love and accept and teach others to do the same. I have been told I was going to Hell and my whole church was going with me. People have literally walked away from the church because they refuse to love and accept people of the GLBT community. These people were my friends. I ate at their homes, laughed and fellowship with them, but when I began teaching love and acceptance our loving friendships abruptly ended. Stuff like this hurts... But I believe I have to follow the assignment God has given me to do. Every time someone thanks me for words of affirmation or thanks me because they are transcending their issues of self-hate, I know the struggle is well worth it.
Speaking of struggle doing this documentary has not been easy. I have had to deal with rejection and two faced preachers who smile in your face and talk about you behind your back. This documentary has made me be more vulnerable by forcing me to be more open and honest with my own personal life. I will speak more about that in my next blog.

(Here's a picture of my Grandson and I with the old bike! Teach them while they're young haha.)
Its time for me to get on my Harley Davidson street glide and let the wind blow in my face. ahhh! The feel of that power between your legs and the sound of those pipes roaring down the road is like nothing else in the world matters.
Until next time,
Pastor Meredith
