					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;That was certainly not my intent. I hope you know that I have no desire to diminish any person’s individuality or spirit. &lt;/blockquote&gt;



Michael,



I know that was not your intent, however, it is the intent of others and that was the point I was making.  The intent seems to always have to do with making them right rather than thinking of what is right for the person they are describing. This verse helps me put it into perspective and I realize again how impossible it is to put any kind of difinitive limitation on anyone.



Psalm 139:14 



  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; 

  your works are wonderful, 

  I know that full well.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;The things you listed above might be true for many, however, people take exception to being described by another in a way that diminishes their individuality and spirit.&lt;/blockquote&gt;



Ann, you know me.  That was certainly not my intent.  I hope you know that I have no desire to diminish any person&#039;s individuality or spirit.  



As I said, there may be other, more profound and more important changes — ones that are even more meaningful and more life-changing than sexual orientation change.  Some of these changes may be very private in nature. 



I was only pointing out that these things are not sexual reorientation from “one orientation to another.&quot;  I believe that God can do anything  -- and that such a change may be &lt;em&gt;possible.&lt;/em&gt;  Very, very rare and not yet documented scientifically -- but possible.]]></description>
