The Meaning of Pride!
Posted on June 13, 2010 | Filed Under Taking Back Faith
I spent today walking down Main Street in Huntington in the humid air of a New York June day. The streets were lined with hundreds of people as they cheered and celebrated pride. The beat of the music had filled the air as each group made their way to the celebration in the park. Many groups were in attendance, and the party had just begun.
So much to reflect on and as the day draw closes to an end. I started the day off with a charge to the congregation of LICF talking about why we can really celebrate Pride.
While it is great to have a day to celebrate who we are, we don’t need a special day to celebrate who God made us. We should be celebrating that each and every day of our life.
As the celebration took place today, I had a unique opportunity to internalize the joy of my creation. God made me and I am so proud of it. God made me and I have such a tremendous joy because of that. God made me and in all that I am, I want my life to praise and celebrate God. I have worth and value because of my creator.
I am proud to be gay! I am proud to be Christian! I am proud to be made by God in God’s image!

"LICF has become my home and a place where a true sense a family continues to evolve and grow naturally, spiritually and lovingly as God continues to shape and mold me. I am truly Blessed to be in the presence of this family." 
Very nicely put Pastor Shane. As always your words hold so much meaning.
