Today is Peggy's presentation of the ex-gay workshop at the conference in Toronto. Her workshop begins at 3:15 Toronto time (2:15 CST). I know she is a little nervous about it so please send up a prayer for her! Pray for her words to be God's words, for her to have a sense of peace, and for confidence. Pray that the people attending will have open hearts and minds, and that they respond positively to Peggy.
We love you, Peggy!!

I pray that You will bless Peggy in her workshop and give her the words that she needs to say to bring truth to those that need to hear about these awful "ex-gay" ministries. Open their eyes and ears to Peg as she teaches them about what being gay really means: that it's perfectly normal, and that it's ok by You. Let them see the truth about this kind of love. Calm Peggy's fears and assure her of Your presence with her, and bless her with peace. For in Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
i had called mama lisa the night before my presentation, to be a baby. cause i was literally within 5 km of my parents'. but i'm a defensive moron, and didn't want to tell them i was in town...for a gay thing...so i drove around and finally found a place for less than $150 a night. and i was nervous about talking about my ex-gay stuff. so i called mama lisa and teddy.
the presentation went alright. i had all this stuff planned...campy, interactive stuff...but all they wanted was my story. so i winged it and talked. they laughed. asked questions. talked to me afterwards. and took a lot of the reading material i had prepared. so i think it went ok :)
