Everyone Can’t Be in Your Front Row
I did not type this! But I felt it was too inspirational not to share. Enjoy.
Life is a theater. Invite your audience carefully! Not everyone is holy enough nor healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you let go or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere people/friendships/fellowships, etc.
| Observe the relationships around you. Pay close attention to: | |
| 01) | Which ones lift and which ones lean. |
| 02) | Which ones encourage and which ones discourage. |
| 03) | Which ones are on a path to climbing uphill and which ones are tumbling downhill. |
When you leave certain people, do you feel better or worse without having them around?
Figure out which ones always have drama and/or don’t really understand, know and appreciate you for who you really are. Let alone recognize the gift that lies within you.
Find a solace! Seek God! Seek change!
The more you seek growth, peace of mind, love, truth, positive surroundings and things honorable; the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life, your theater!
You cannot change the people around you, but you can change the people who you choose to be around!
Ask God for the wisdom to know the difference and recognize it!

Gay for Pay
About a couple weeks ago, Tyra did a show on straight men who do gay porn or work at gay bars. Their reason for doing it is for the money. In other words, they turn “gay for pay”. One guy even said he’d have no problem doing straight porn, but he’d have to do twenty different scenes to amount to how much he’d get paid to do just one gay scene a month. And to top it off, they’re involved—with the exception of one, who’s girlfriend broke up with him prior to going on the show. Here are videos of it in case you’d like to see it:
Being straight and working at a gay bar is one thing, but doing gay porn is another. So say the tables were turned. If you’re gay/lesbian, would you be willing to do straight porn, if you got paid twenty times more than doing gay porn each scene? Or would you be accepting of your partner doing it, simply for the money?
Me personally, I most certainly would not! That goes for both questions. I don’t care if it is “just a job”. I can’t see myself having sex with a man and not feel uncomfortable/violated during and afterward. There’s no way of blocking that out. And I wouldn’t want my partner doing porn, period. She’d be having sex with other people… giving away her “goodies” that should only be reserved for me. It won’t happen, captain.
