I had a usual amount of patient referrals today. No seriously ill folks so that was a good day (and more importantly for them). I continue to think about one patient that I saw recently. A young man who ended up in the hospital with a number of issues. Our conversation surrounded the issue of his being gay. After his and many other attempts to change this part of him, he had come to the place where he would rather be dead than gay. I am hoping that our conversation has given him some new things to think about.  The more that I embrace that God loves us as we are, the more faith and less fear I have about life. May this young man experience this same message.
