The miracle of rain doesn't begin all at once. It starts with one drop, then another, then another, until the clouds have gathered and the sound of thunder echoes off the mountainside.

Today, the miracles are beginning to happen. The first video from Voices of Hope was made public. Voices of Hope is a project designed to share the stories of a thousand men and women who live with same-gender attraction and who find peace and joy in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Here's a video introduction to the project, done by Ty Mansfield:


I've known Blake for over two years now. He posted a comment here on (Gay) Mormon Guy that called me to the carpet. It was intense, but I could tell that, even though we had never met, he cared. And I appreciated that. The conversation that followed over the next few years in multiple forms helped me get to know him as a person - to see his fears and flaws and hopes and dreams. We've both been perfectionists... and we've both learned that God doesn't ask us to be perfect to be worthy of His love.

Here's a link to highlights from Blake's video.

If you know him, tell him that you love him. Verbally, physically, in his email account and in your prayers. Ask him questions. Be willing to start the conversation and listen to what he's learned from life.
